SUPREME COURT DECIDES
AGAINST PROCESSING TAX
Orders Money ImpOunded By
Courts Returned To Taxpayers

After wiping out the Agriculture
Adjustment Administration last week
the Supreme Court ruled that two
hundred million dollars of processing
taxes impounded by the courts must
be returned to the taxpayers.
The court has also refused to pass
on the validity of the Bankhead cottor
act at this time, and adjourned without
ruling on the constitutionality of the
Tennessee Valley Authority act.
The tax decision did not go into the
question whether professors had tt
prove they had not passed the tax or
to consumers before they could re
cover, main point at issue. 1t was
handed down in the case brought by
Louisiana rice millers.
The result of the decision had M
immediate bearing on the prospect:
for suits by professors to recover the
one billion dollars in taxes already
collected under the defunct AAA. This
question remains to be fought out il
the lower courts.
The decision by the Supreme Court
was unanimous.

YOUTH, ARRESTED HERE,
WILL TESTIFY AT TRIAL
Reuben Harvey Taken To Nor
gantOwn Monday To Testify
at Murder Trial of Brother
SET FOR FEBRUARY BIRD

Reuben Hardesty, %, wanted as a
material witness at the murder trial
of his brother, William Hardesty, 33,
was arrested Monday morning about
one o'clock at Deer Park, where he
had been living since Christmas.
William Hardesty is to go on trial
at Morgantown, West Va, on Mon
day.. February 8, for the murder of
Mrs. Nellie Runyan, "a, for whose
death Loran Croaston is now serving
life term in the Moundsville State
Penitentiary.
Croaston will attend the trial under
heavy guard as States witness to
repeat his testimony that it was Har-
desty who took the Moffet Hill (Pa.)
matron to lonely Snake Hill where he
killed her and buried her body in a
shallow grave.
Prosecuting Attorney John V. San
ders at Morgantown said that Reu-
ben Hardesty, brother of William, is
to be held as a material witness. No
charge has been placed against Reu-
ben, however. After his arrest in this
county by local officers he waived ex-
tradition and was taken to Morgan
town by West Virginia State Troop
ers C. C. Taylor and R. T. Cummings.
During the trial of Croaston he
insisted that Bill Hardesty did the ac-
tual killing of Mrs. Runyan because
the woman threatened to expose
Croaston for violation of a parole.
Croaston also insisted that when
Hardesty told him of plans to dump
off" Mrs. Runyan he didn't know
whether Hardesty really intended to
kill or not. ,Croaston said Bill, whom
he had met in the penitentiary where
both were serving terms for crimes
committed previously, was a windy
fellow"
Arraigned before Judge Baker at
Morgantown, Bill Hardesty grinned a
mot guilty" plea before the court on
Monday afternoon on three indict-
ments, including murder, accessory
before the fact and accessory after
the fact.

County Spent More For Relief
Than Was Paid In Gross
Sales Taxes

With the exception of three coun-
ties, all political subdivisions of the
State spent less money for relief than
they contributed to the State emer-
gency relief fund through the one per
cent gross receipts tax, according to
the State Comptroller. Garrett was
one of the three exceptions. Frederick
and Somerset counties were the two
others.
Garrett county paid in $17,474 and
spent 56,323.43, an excess disburse-
ment of $38,849.43. The statement of
the Comptroller covered the period
from April 1 to December 81, showing
that total of $3.50, 655.S5 had been
received. The books We're closed De-
cember 81 with a balance of $685.

PASTEUR TREATMENT FOR
RABIES ORDERED FOR TWO
Were Bitten By Mad Dog Deem
Der 11-Death of Hog Bitten
by Animal Brings Investigation
MORE CASES MAY DEVELOP

Death of a hog belonging to
Joseph Beckman, near North
Glade, in this county, caused
from rabies as the result of
bite by a dog on December II,
has caused apprehension for the
safety of Joseph Beckman, Jr.,
and Mrs. Earl Beckman, who
were attacked and bitten by the
same dog.
Pasteur prophylactic treatment has
been ordered by telegraph for the per-
sons bitten in the hope of preventing
rabies. The incubation period of the
disease in human beings is said to be
forty days, and that time has almost
elapsed.
DR.. E. c. Peck, local health officer,
who investigated the matter, stated
that stray dog acting in a wild and
vicious manner had run through the
North Glade community on December
II and had bitten two persons and a
number of animals. The dog was kill
ed when it attacked some chickens in
a farm yard. Later two pigs were
taken sick, acting in a rather peculiar
manner and were killed. The Beck
man hog died of the rabies.
DR.. Peck took the head of the hog
to the State Laboratory at Cumber-
land where positive diagnosis of
rabies was made late Tuesday night.
"This creates an important situa-
ton in this section of the county,"
DR.. Peck stated, Gas all previous cases
of rabies have been in the north of the
county. Tracks in the snow are said
to have shown that this dog came from
the north, past the lookout tower
near Thayerville.
There is said to be at least one dog
still at large which fought with the
rabid dog, and if more cases develop
among cats and dogs of the neighbour
! hood the lives of a number of people
will be endangered. Rabies are fatal to
human beings in every case where the
Pasteur treatment cannot be admin
| istered.
The health officer pointed out that
whenever a person is bitten by dog
the fact should be reported to the
health department at once. If the dog
is known to belong to some resident
in the neighborhool he should be con-
! fined for ten days to be sure he is not
I sick of rabies. If he is running wild
and cannot be safely captured he
should be shot through the body so
as not to injure the brain. The head
should be packed in ice and taken
to the State branch laboratory in the
city hall at Cumberland for examina-
ton. This should be done Immediately
after the dog is killed.
| The States Attorney has stated that
anyone is responsible for damage
or injury done persons or animals by
his dog if it is permitted to run at
large.

Elected President of Freshmen at
University of Pennsylvania

Irwin Field, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Field, of Oakland, student at
the University of Pennsylvania, in
Philadelphia, was elected president of
the Freshman class at the University
late in November. The Epsilon Epic, a
fraternity newspaper, has the follow
ing to say concerning young Field:
Irwin Field elected president of the
Freshman Glass! Late in November,
Irwin, who halls from Oakland, Md,
was given the dubious honor of being
elected president of the class of '39.
Field will make an excellent feature
editor of the Epsilon Epic, as he was
editor-in-chief of the Oakland high
paper. He was also vice-president of
the student council of the school. He
also carried laurels in track. His next
venture was Penn. Here he proved his
leadership by being elected president
of his freshman class.
