1t is quite true the Government
has no legal authority to stop trade
with Italy, but State Secretary Hull
is obsessed with the idea Of stopping
it one way or another. His associate:
are conf1dentially threatening some
dire things which he may or may
not do.
One is for the Erport-Import
Bank to decline future credits to
any business man Uho trades NTH
Italy. The legal ercuse tDould be
that he is not a good risk. (Mr.
Hull has t,Do men on the Export
import Bank BodrdJ Another
undeueloped thought Is to deny
Government subsidies to ship lines
and railroads carrying goods des-
tined for Italy.
It is unlikely that Mr.. Hull will GO
to such extremes, but you never can
tell about Mr.. Hull.
Outlaw Talk Revived.
Talk has started again lately about
Federal effort to outlaw all holding
companies as a cmpaign issue. The
Presidents good friend, Sentor Morris,
mentioned the matter recently. An
other good friend, Representative Ray
burn, is supposed to have said the
same thing off the record some time
back. President Roosevelt's holding
companies message contained hints
along that line.
The revival of this talk serves a
good New Deal purpose now. They
would not object at all if the holding
companies became frightened and
docile as regards existing law.
Publicity Truce Signed.
Senator Black Of the lobby investi-
gators and Senator Nye of the NUM-
tions Investigators are supposed to
have signed a publicity truce. Never
again will they compete for front page
publicity. Both will time their future
sensational disclosures SO as not to
conflict with each other.
The boys have been at loggerheads
since last session because one was
always spelling the others show b.
stealing public attention with bigger
and better sensations.

CHARLESTON. S. c., October 23.-
Southern admirers turned out today
for a rousing welcome to President
Roosevelt. home from a three-weeks
tropical fishing trip. before he speeds
back to his White House desk.
The crusier Houston reached the
harbor last night after escaping a
Caribbean hurricane.
Looking over the latest mail and
reports from Washington, the Presi-
dent remained aboard while the vessel
pulled into the navy yard for an early
afternoon landing Of his party.
South Carolinians assembled from
all parts of the State to hear a speech
by Mr.. Roosevelt. to whom they gave
a 50-to-1 vote for President in 1882
Delegations from other Southern
States also were here.
A feet of 80 craft was organized to
escort the cruiser upstream to the
navy yard, with eight planes flying
overhead and guns booming presi-
Dental salute. A thousand soldiers
sailors and Marines assembled for a
military parade.
Before boarding a special train late
in the day for Washington, the Presi-
dent agreed to speak at celebration
on the campus Of the citadel, State
Military College-his first public ut
terance since he warned at San Diego
Calf, against entanglements In the
European situation.
With him on his cruise were the
two work relief chieftains, Secretary
Ickes and Harry L. Hopkins. The big
push to put 3,50000o persons now on
relief rolls to work by the middle OF
November is perhaps receiving the
major consideration of Mr.. Roosevelt
as he turns to the Capital.

those greedily outstretched to clutch

Raids On Gambling
Establishments
Two Perryville Places Sur
neutrality-suspicious. Held

While several tried to escape
through windows, names of 92 men
were taken and two men were ar
rested, when Chief Deputy Sheriff
Lewis Seth, two assistants and three
State policemen headed by Sergeant
Weber made two simultaneous raids
on alleged gambling houses in Perry
vile on Tuesday.
The men charged with maintaining
the gambling houses and accepting
bets on horse races are James Carson
and Harry Walters. Forty-one men
were found in Carson's place and 81
in Walters place.
In each place the plice said they
found a battery of telephones having
connection with seven tracks. Rae
ing paraphernalia of all kinds was
seized. Telephones also connected
the two places and the police charged
that in previous raids the first one
raided tipped off the other giving
ample time to dispose of all evidence.
To prevent this, the police made the
raids On the two places stimuli
taneously.
AS the officers entered the places
the frequenters tried to escape by
leaping from windows and hiding in
closets but none succeeded.
Carson and Walters were arraign-
ed before Magistrate Barrow and
each placed under $1,000 bail for the
action of the States attorney.

ANOTHER REDUCTION IN ELEC-
TRIO RATES
Announced BY Pennsylvania Power
& Light Company Effective
October list

Cheaper power and light rates are
striking all around us, but this sort
of lightning never seems to strike
Cecil county, despite Public Service
hearings on the rates we are paying,
said to be higher in this particular
county than places all about us.
Now comes the announcement that
effective October 1st, the Pennsyl-
vania Power & Light Co. is to give
it's customers in that State the benefit
of still another cut in rates.
The new rate schedule provides for
a minimum charge of $1.00 per
month which will also include IL
kilowatt-hours of electric service.
For the next block of 46 kilowatt-
hours, the charge is 61a cents per
kilowatt-hour; for the next block of
70 kilowatt-hours the rate is cents
per kilowatt-hour; for the next
block of $50 kilowatt-hours, 2 cents
per kilowatt-hour and charge of
IL cents per kilowatt-hour for all
in excess of 257 kilowatt-hours.
The new commercial rate reduces
the charge from Z " cents per kilo-
watt-hour to cents and with new
commercial customers who have
loads in excess of kilowatts of de-
mand
The new rate schedule is the result
of intensive research extending over
a considerable period, and confer
ences with the Public Service Com
mission of Pennsylvania. Customers
of the Company will find that the
cost of operating electric lights or
any of the electrically-operated
household devices will be lower than
ever before, according to the an
nouncement of the Company, while
the ease with which customers can
now visualize lower rates that in
creased use of electricity brings will
doubtless permit greater use of the
appliances.

Raging Flood Waters
Cause Havoc
Storm Takes Heavy Toll On
Lower Eastern Shore

The Eastern Shore of Maryland, in
common with the entire Atlantic sea-
board, was water-logged last week,
after five days of heavy rain. The
storm was bareback of the cyclone
that swept Florida and left death and
destruction in it's wake.
In this immediate section of Cecil
county the most damage done was to
the corn and tomato crops. Coming
at the height of the canning season,
and extending over the greater part
of the week, the rain held up pulling
of corn and gathering of tomatoes,
both of which crops were ripening
ed by our farmers.
Something like six inches of rain
fall was recorded in four days, in this
locality, but so evenly was it dis
tributed that for the most part this
unusually heavy downpour made no
very preceptible flood in the streams,
unlike sections on the Lower Eastern
Shore, where raging floods did thou
sands of dollars worth of damage.
The town of fredericksburg, in
Caroline county, experienced the full
force of the flood, being inundated,
houses swept away and untold dam
age done, but no loss of life reported.
The rain fall in that section, re-
ported by Mr.. Albert White, weather
forecaster, was IA 1s inches up until
Friday noon. This is the largest
rainfall ever to be recorded by him
and it is believed to be the largest
ever to fall at one time in that
section.
Thursday evening, about six
o o'clock, for a short period of time,
there was veritable cloudburst
here, when the streets ran rivers of
water. This was the heaviest rain
of the five day period, but it was of
short duration. A freak of the
storm, at this particular time, was
a small cyclone that struck the or
chard on the farm of Mr.. Leslie
Rawlings, adjoining town on the
southwest The path of this minia-
ture cyclone was as narrow as its
force was violent. 1t tore through
the orchard on the side of what is
known as Stubs Hill, uprooting six
trees, and was gone as quickly as it
came. In addition to the damage on
the farm of Mr.. Rawlings, the cleo
trio lines and telephone lines running
past the place suffered greatly by
branches of the falling trees break
ing and dragging down wires.
The havoc wrought in few min
utes of time required several hours
of strenuous work to repair.

DIES FOLLOWING LEG AMPU-
TATION

Norman Tomlinson, of Principle
Furnace, whose leg was crushed
when he was struck by an automobile
ON Aug. 27th while he was crossing
the highway near Perryville to board
an automobile on his way to Havre
de Grace for work at the Commercial
Novelty Company, died at the Hos
pital in that city on the Monday fol-
lowing. Mr.. Tomlinson, who was
45 years old, is survived by his
mother, Mrs. Mary Tomlinson, and
one son, Thomas.
After being taken to the hospital
it was found necessary to amputate
the injured mans leg, and death
followed few days later.
The driver of the automobile gave
his name as Cleve Squibb, of Chester,
Pa. He was held under $1,000 bail
for his appearance at the coroner's
inquest.
