CHESTERTOWNM MURDER CASE
Man Believed to Be John Ellis Ar
rested and Held at Seattle, Wash.

Sheriff John NJ. Bennett and
Deputy Sheriff John NJ. Bennett,
Jr., of Chestertown, Md, left Mon
day for Seattle, Washington, where
a man believed to be John Ellis,
wanted in connection with the fatal
stabbing of Kelly c. Terry, ecent-
ly, is said to be in custody. The
officers went to Annapolis, secured
requisition papers, and then wired
the Washington authorities. Sheriff
Bennett said that Mrs. Terry had
positively identified a picture of
Ellis as her husbands slayer. The
man held gave his name as Jack
Taylor. Mrs. Terry, the sheriff
said, also injected a new angle
when she said she believed that
Ellis intended to strike her broth
er, Dudley Everett during the
fight, and instead, struck her hus-
band. The fatal fracas occurred
in a dance hall at Chestertown,
Md, when Mrs. Terry refused an
invitation to dance and a sighting
remark was made which caused
her husband to engage in the argu-
ment that resulted in his death.

SMYRNIANS SEE ECLIPSE
A Clear Sky Made Total Eclipse
of Moon Plainly Visible Thruout

Citizens of Smyrna had a fine
view of the eclipse of the the
moon Monday night. Its visibility
was unmarried by any cloud
throughout the passing of the
shadow of the earth on the moons
face during the entire phenomenon.
There was lightning which indicat-
ed a storm was approaching but,
there was no rain nor was the
moon obscured by clouds until the
eclipse was over. At HIP p. m.
the first dark arc of the earth S
shadow began creeping across the
lunar globe, gradually and increas-
ingly blotting out the reflected
light from the sun. BY half past
twelve it was total and the weird
sight made the moon as faint as q
Japanese lantern lowering in the
sky. Many Smyrnians stayed UP
until it was all over. Washing
toms scientists and thrill seekers
were aided by clear sky. Scien-
fists in their observatories had an
excellent chance to make a study
of the phenomenon.

JUDGE NIELDS
HOG TAX
Grants Wilmington Firm a
Temporary Writ Restrict
ing Collections
GEO. w. PEPPER ARGUES

A temporary injunction restrain
ing the Federal tax collector from
collecting AAA processing taxes
from the Wilmington Provision
Company was granted by Federal
Judge John P Nields Friday. The
order said that immediate and ir-
reparable loss or damage will re-
suit unless the preliminary injunc-
ton is granted" A security bond
for $4,000 on the company was
fixed. In arguing before Judge
Nields on why Willard f. Deputy,
the collector of internal revenue for
the Delaware district, should be en-
joined from collecting the process
ing tax on hogs from the provision
company, former U. S. Senator
George Wharton Pepper, of Phila-
delphia, attorney for the company,
declared: This is not tax but a
form of exaction made to create a
large fund for the Secretary of Ag-
riculture to paly with" Pepper ex-
planned the economic theory that
prompted the AAA stressing the
hope of the Brain Trust" that by
reducing hog production, the price
level would rise to that of a golden
age, estimated to have been in ex-
istence from 1909 to 1914. Pepper
stirred the otherwise calm atmos-
phere of the courtroom when he
mentioned how the price of pork
products had risen since the AAA
era. What is the price of my ham
sandwich ?" Judge Nields asked.
1T has gone up in price three
tmes?" Pepper replied. With that
Pepper went into an explanation of
how the packer was taxed" so
that the farmer could reduce his
hog production, so that the price
of hogs would rise and the packer
pay more for hogs ION the hoof. {"
''The packer is caught coming and
going" Pepper observed. The Will
mington Provision Company is one
of a number of packers throughout
the country that have brought suits
to have the AAA processing tax on
hogs declared unconstitutional and
void

Edward G.. Walls store property on
Main street early Thursday morn
ing damaging the stock Of S.
Grossman, proprietor of the store
and entailing a loss on the stock
and property of approximately &c.
900. The fire was discovered by
Policeman John w. Jacobs, Jr., and
John Stats, who sent in the alarm
The Smyrna Fire Company soon
responded but by the time they
arrived there was a considerable
blaze with smoke so dense that it
was with difficulty that firemen
could reach the fire. S. Grossman
proprietor of the store, who was
sleeping alone on the second floor,
was so nearly overcome by the
smoke he had to be carried out.
He was taken down a firemens
ladder which was leaned against a
second story window front, and
moved to the Delaware House
where he was recussitated. For a
time they tried to awaken him in
the smoke-filled building but to no
avail. It was then that immediate
steps were taken to carry him out
of the building. The fire was con-
fined to the second floor where
several ladies dresses and coats
were burned and where his stock
was damaged by both fire and
water and chemical The loss to
the stock of goods of Mr.. Gross
man was quoted at $1,000 while the
damage to the interior of the Walls
building was placed at $1,000. Mrs.
Grossman, who lives in Gloucester,
N. j., usually spends the weekend
with her husband but was not here
at the time. Grossman uses the
second story front room as his
lodging quarters.

decision of FERA officials to allot
$3.50 900 from funds of the emerg-

sufficient to buy approximately a
