'As soon as he got it he raced
around town. I understand he
went to the White House with it.

he could. Secretary Ickes made
an investigation, and Mr.. Puryear
denied he knew anything about it

Il can only say that I am

CECRETARY ICKES declined
~ to make public the evidence
he has.
No one at Republican National
Committee headquarters admits
any knowledge of an offer to hire
Mr.. Phillips.
Senator Chavez, in New Mexico,
branded the Ickes investigation
"one-sided another Virgin
Islands investigation" He pro-
duced the contract and letter, and
asked the public TO judge whether
this could have been a frame-up.
Here is the note he displayed:
Thursday, a. m, Dear Phillips:
I'm glad you have decided to re-
consider. I have rewritten the
contract in rough form, deleting
the parts you found Objectionable.
Mr.. Curtis representative wrote
me short note yesterday about
you. Take this TO your attorney,
have him make any corrections,
revisions, that you want, and
bring it back to me. I'm sure
that I can get your own terms ac-
cepted. Also, see Seniff and see
if you can get him to do like
wise. Mr.. c. might possibly sup
plement your salary. This is
real opportunity for you.-P."
The Mr.. Curtis mentioned in
the note, Phillips believes, refers
to former Vice President Charles
Curtis.

HEARING
Held ON THURSDAY

Andrew Bevans and John Rantz
were given a hearing on Thursday
yesterday at Snow Hill. In the
case of Bevans, parole officers from
Baltimore were on hand who had a
revocation of his parole signed by the
Governor of the State.
Bevans was held in $500 bail for
appearance at court on the charge of
transporting stolen automobiles across
the State boundary, but he was re-
leased to the parole officers who es-
corted him back to Salisbury and from
there to Baltimore.
1t is likely that his appearance at
court will not materialize since he will
have to serve eleven years more of
his penitentiary sentence before he
could be tried.
John Rantz had a similar charge
of transporting autos across the state
boundary, which puts his case in the
hands of the Federal authorities. He
was held in $500 bail by Federal
court and, at this writing efforts are
being made to secure the bond.
Irving Townsend and Alfred Hen
derson, the confessed thieves of the
car, were placed under a $4,000 bond.

ANDREW BEVANS IS
ARRESTED in TENNESSEE

Andrew Bevans, of this city, only
recently paroled from the State Peni-
tentiary, is, once more, in the clutches
of the law; this time, on the charge
of receiving stolen goods.
Alymer ]. Tilghman, of Salisbury,
was the victim of auto thieves last
week, and developments have revealed
that his car was stolen by Orvill
Townsend and Alfred Henderson, of
Wicomico county. According to ac-
counts these brought the machine to
Pocomoke and sold it to Andrew Bev-
ans. Andrew secured the company
of John Rantz and betook themselves
to Tennessee where they were arrest
ed and brought back by Sheriff, Of
Wicomico.
Bevans and Rantz were charged
with stealing the car, but were re-
leased from this after confessions
from the real purloiners. When ar
rested, Bevans is said to have had
false Maryland license tags in his po-
session. He was employed in the
manufacture Of plates while in the
Penitentiary. Besides the charge Of

SOMERSET 4H
CLUB TO BE
AT TIMONIUM
Represent The County In The
Cattle-Judging Contest
At Coming Exhibition
HUGH AND ALLEN
LONG IN THE CONTEST

Members of the Somerset All
Dairy Club have represented the coun-
ty in the state wide dairy cattle judg-
ing contest held each year at Timon-
ium Fair which will be held this year
from September End to 7th.
The boys from this county had their
first team in the State Contest in
1928 and also exhibited purebred cal
YES for several years and have taken
part in the judging contest each year
since 1928.
Somerset boys have been successful
in winning places with their purebred
calves. The first year the four
Guernsey calves which were exhibited
won 1st, End, 3rd and 10th places, in
competition with calves shown by boys
from the other counties of the State.
The boys have also made a very
creditable showing in their judging,
winning several first places on indivi-
dual breeds.
In 1888 John Sigrist was third high
boy in the State on individual score
and made place on the State team.
The Somerset boys finished 5th last
year, which was the highest place
won during the past few years.
The boys who will represent the
county this year are as follows:
Alan Long, Jr., Pocomoke.
Hugh Long, Pocomoke.
Norman Kinks, Fairmount.
Paul Sigrist, Westover.
The boys have attended field meet
ings of the several breed associations
held at COLCHESTER, Elkton and Sails
bury and have taken part in judging
contests, in preparation for the State
contest.
The boys will be accompanied to the
fair by County Agent C. 2. Keller.
This is one of the phases of All
Club Work, that is being carried on in
the United States by nearly one mil
lion farm boys.
There are about so boys enrolled in
the several club projects which in
clude poultry, purebred hogs, toma-
toes. potatoes and corn.
The boys used to have exhibits of
their products at the local fairs and
community shows, however, since
these have been discontinued and as
it is rather difficult to obtain funds
for prizes under present conditions
and to the low prices of farm products,
the interest in club work has Jagged
and the enrolment has not increased,
as it is hoped it will when conditions
improve in this section of the State.

SPUD GROWERS SHOULD
GET CERTIFIED SEED

All growers of Maryland seed po-
tatoes who wish to have them certi-
fled should have application for same
in the County Agents office, Snow
Hill, not later than September 4th.
The first field inspection will be made
the week of September 9Th, when DR..
R. A. Jehle, Plant Pathologist, and
the County Agent will inspect the
fields. Indications are that the crop
will be shorter than usual, due to low
prices received by growers on the
early crop. All growers who expect
to sell any seed should have them GER
titled.

ing Is Yet Missed
HELD IN $1,000 BAIL
BY JUSTICE RILEY

Louis Green, colored, who gives his
age as 81, was arrested by night Of
ficer Buck on Maple Street about 8
P. M, and lodged in the city lock-
up. On Tuesday he was given hear
ing by Justice Riley who held him
under $1,000 bond for appearance at

and Second, only a few minutes be-
fore his arrest by Officer Buck. He
gained entrance by smashing win
dow pane in the rear of the store and
turning the fastening so the window
could be raised.
Mrs. E. w. Shear, of this city, was
looking in the show windows at the
time, and heard the crash Of glass.
She was fortunate in securing the Of
ficer in a very few minutes and Green
was soon apprehended. At the trial
she identified him as the burglar.
Green stated he was born in Ala
bama, had lived in Philadelphia, and
came here from Cape Charles ex-
pecting to go to work Tuesday morn
ing. In coat secured after his ar
rest were found some articles which
indicated former robberies, and also
a rather formidable knife.
Mr.. George Coffman states he did
not miss any goods from his store
Either the negro did not see what he
wanted or lost his nerve, as he left
the store shortly after entering.
Justice Riley's court has been rath-
er busy for the past 10 or IL days

colored, of Unionville, were arrested
