WEEKS BROTHERS GUILTY;
ARE SENTENCED BY COURT
Hamilton Weeks Gets Year in
House; l. w. Weeks 4 Months
In Jail; Other Sentences
COURT ADJOURNED FRIDAY

Ira w. and Hamilton Weeks, of
Mountain Lake Park, were convicted
of manslaughter last Thursday af-
ternoon by a jury composed of Gar
rett countians. The jury was secured
only after the summoning of thirty
five talismen by Sheriff Spear, both
the State and defense challenging
man after man as they appeared.
The indictment charging the men
with manslaughter grew out of the
tragic death of Gilderoy Whorton, of
Oakland, in a truck wreck occurring
on the morning of July 13 at a point
two miles north of Oakland on Route
PIG.
Breaking a deadlock of five hours,
the jury brought in its verdict at
five o'clock Thursday afternoon
with a recommendation to the
Court for mercy. On Friday Judge
David A. Robb sentenced Hamilton
Weeks, driver of the truck, to one
year in the House of Correction and
his brother, Ira W. Weeks, who was
with him at the time, to serve a sem
tence of four months confinement in
the Garrett County Jail.
Testimony was to the effect that
both Hamilton and Ira Weeks were
under the influence of liquor the night
of the accident. They were in parked
truck on the highway without lights
just over the brow of hill. Whorton
was killed almost instantly when the
truck in which he was returning to
his home here from Cumberland, col
lided with the parked truck.
Others Are Sentenced
Other traversers were sentenced on
Friday morning just prior to the ad-
journment of the term and they have
been taken to the prisons by Sheriff
Spear and his deputies,
Melvin Hoover, convicted by jury
of malicious destruction of property
and assault with intent to kill, was
sentenced to two years in the House
of Correction. Hoover staged cone
man riot" at Jennings coal mine,
holding a number of workers at bay
with a shot gun and fired the weapon
at Louis A. Morgart, superintendent
of the mine, besides partially wreck
ing an automobile with a club.
Philip Duckworth, So, of Swanton,
convicted of assault with intent to
murder his son-in-law and daughter,
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Arnold, was SEN
fenced to serve eighteen months in the
House of Correction. Duckworth had
made his home with Mr.. and Mrs.
Arnold and on the evening of the as
sault he became under the influence
of intoxicants and was abusive in his
language and manner. Securing re-
volver from a room which he occupied
in the house he shot Mrs. Arnold in
the leg and then turned the weapon on
his son-in-law, who was shot in the

TABLELAND FAIR OPENS
in PITTSBURGH OCT. l6
Gimbels Store Will Be Scene Of
Display of Farm Products From
Eight Counties of This Area
MANY PRIZES OFFERED

Plans for the fourth annual
eight-county fair which will be
held at Gimbels Department
Store, Pittsburgh, Pa, through
October 16, II, 18 and 10, are
rapidly rounding into shape, ac-
cording to E. j. Priddey, Pitts
burgh, who is in charge of the
arrangements.
Hundreds of dollars in prizes will
be awarded prize-winning exhibits to
be entered by the tri-state areas pop7
ulation. Only products of the farm,
garden and home may be entered.
Prizes as high as five dollars will be
offered to first winners.
An exhibit room in Gimbels will be
provided and each exhibit will be ar
ranged by experienced decorators in
cooperation with the committee of the
Allegheny Tableland Association. All
products will be displayed in the group
to which they belong and the County
Prize Cup will be awarded according
to the points received by each county.
There will be three points for blue
ribbon; two points for red ribbon, and
one point for white ribbon.
No Entrance Fees Charged
There will be no charge for making
entries. All the exhibitor is required
to do is to pack exhibits carefully, de-
liver them to point which will be
designated when the entry list has been
received at Gimbels. Trucks from the
city of Pittsburgh will pick up mer-
chandise and deliver them to the fair.
Past experience has proven the value
of potato raisers, egg dealers and
apple growers, or anyone with farm
produce ready for market in large
quantities to be on the spot ready to
take orders for all he can sell. Any
one having products to sell regularly,
such as maple syrup, eggs or apples
and wishing to obtain regular custom
ers, may take orders at the Fair for
future deliveries. These transactions
with customers, however, are to be
carried out entirely by the individual
exhibitors.
The Allegheny Tableland Fair was
inaugurated in 1882 by the Chamber
of Commerce of Pittsburgh for the
purpose of promoting the products
of the fableland area. The Pittsburgh
market is open for this kind of mer-
chandise since the quality of it has
been demonstrated in this annual fair.
Full consideration is again being
extended to boy and girl exhibitors
this year. They have opportunities to
win substantial prizes.
All entries must be in the mails by
October 10, and the blanks may be OBJ
tanned from the Gimbel store in Pitts
burgh.
The Tableland area embraces Fay
ette and Somerset counties in Pennsyl-
vania; Garrett county, in Maryland;
Grant, Mineral, MonOngalia, Preston,
and Tucker counties, in West Virginia.
Since the Inauguration of the Fair
many Garrett county men and women
have won prizes for their products
and a number have been successful in
selling their products to Pittsburgh
buyers.

MOBILIZATION
CALL PLANNED
!. BY MUSSOL|N|

ROME, Sept 10. UP)-Premier
Benito Mussolini today ordered trial
mobilization for the near future"
of all military and civil forces in
Italy and its colonies.
The mobilization order explained
that the mobilization would be
demonstration of the efficiency of
Its.ly's civil and military forces ev-
erywhere.
III Duce has ordered that in the
ne ar future in the provinces and
in the colonies there will be held a
general assembly of forces of the
regime" said the first paragraph of
the order.
1t was generally believed the
mobilization of all forces in Fascist
Italy would coincide with the be-
ginning of hostilities in East Africa.
| The order continued:
'On the day established, the or
der for assembly will be given by
alarm signals from all towers OF
the country, from towers of COM
batant Fascists and from civil tow
ers, apd by sirens and drums in
centers in all cities and country
sides.
"At the signal of assembly mem
bers of all organizations inscribed
in the forces of the regime will put
on their uniforms and hasten to
their respective places or localities
indicated by the federal secretary
Militia will go to their barracks.
Those who reside abroad, either
permanently or temporarily, shoulc
telegraph Immediately to the secre.
tary of the party.
Forces of the regime will re-
main at their posts until midnigh
unless other orders come.
Members of the Balilla organiza
tions (the boys too young to bC
Fascists) will remain at their post
until 9 p. m.
"Other instructions will be mad

there is, of course, point that is
worthy of consideration and yet can
not esteem such a view very highly.
For more than sixty years baseball
has dug into the thoughts, the hearts,
the pocketbooks and perhaps even the
souls of many millions of citizens.
One reason why the more competent
students, authors and editors have not
given the subject the attention it de-
serves, perhaps, is because they start
with the wrong premise. From the
heights of their ivy towers they must
necessarily gaze from such a distance
as to miss the fine points of the squeeze
play or the screw ball. Naturally also
they must miss the significance of the
zest of others for such things.
So, when they touch upon baseball at
all with their gilded typewriters, it is
with definite sense of condescension.
Still impressed with theis own errone-
GUS premise they seem to feel that they
are addressing an audience of under
developed children. That, even in a

so constantly admonished by its bet
