CORNER STONE
TO BE- PLACED
SATURDAY, II
Masonic Ceremonies To Attend
Laying Corner Stone Of
Municipal Building
T. ALAN GOLDSBORUGH
WILL BE THE SPEAKER

Mayor E. w. Ross and Attorney
Godfrey Child were in Baltimore
Tuesday and Wednesday of this week
to confer with the architects and con-
tractor in connection with Pocomokeis
new municipal building.
The contractor and a part Of his
equipment are in Pocomoke at the
present time, and crew of workmen
will be on the job not later than Tues
day of next week to start the work Of
excavating the callar and laying the
foundation for the building.
Papers involving request for ini-
tial payment on the Governments
grant were executed and filed by May
or Ross and Mr.. Child last Wednes-
day morning with Mr.. Abel Wolman,
Director of the Public Works Admin
istration of Maryland. The initial
payment is fifteen percent of the total
estimated cost of the project and will
be approximately $1,000. Subsequent
ly the town will receive a second pay
ment on this grant, and upon COM
pletion of the building the remaining
installment will be paid.
Due to slight delay in getting equip
ment to Pocomoke, the date for laying
the corner stone of the municipal
building has been postponed until
Saturday afternoon, October 18th, at.
2:30 P. M. Congressman T. Alan
Goldsborough will be present during
these ceremonies, and has promised
to have one of the prominent officials
Of the p. w. A. here to make an adj
dress. Grand Master Harry Wright
of the Grand Lodge of Masons of
Maryland has been requested to take
charge of the ceremony of laying the
corner sine. 1t is expected that he
will bring other Grand Lodge officials
with him to assist in these rites. Cres-
cent Lodge and local Masonic Lodges
of neighboring towns will likely COM
bine and parade in a body from Cres-
cent Lodge to the site where the build
ing will be erected.
Our local merchants, through the
various civic clubs of the community,
are arranging for special sales on
corner stone laying day." and these
bargains will doubtless bring hun
dreds of visitors to Pocomoke on Oc-
tober 18th.

TWO ARRESTED
IN CONNECTION
WITH MURDER
Dentist And WPA Worker Ar
rested Charged With
Sending Mail Bomb
ACCUSED NOW REST
IN EASTVILLE JAIL

A dentist of Mt. Airy, N. c., DR.. H.
B. Hege; and a WPA foreman, Ed
Banner, also of Mt. Airy, are, at this
writing, confined in the Northampton
County, Virginia Jail, at Eastville,
charged with first degree murder.
Their alleged victim was Curry
Thomas, a well-to-do farmer, living
near Cape Charles. He and Mrs.
Thomas had been married only a few
weeks, and had not yet gotten over
the delightful experience of receiving
wedding presents.
On the fatal day they had taken
from the Cape Charles post office, a
small box which, as they supposed,
contained a remembrance from some
friend. They did not open it at once,
but waited until they should reach
their home. Before alighting from
their car, they began to unwrap the
package. They didn't get very far
before there was click and an ex-
plosion. Mr.. Thomas was literally
blown to bits, Mrs. Thomas wounded
to such an extent that she has not yet
left the hospital, and the car was
wrecked beyond repair.
This occurred last July and, ever
since, still hunt has been going on
in an effort to ferret out the sender
of the ddath-dealing package. The
hunt ended with the arrest of the two
men above mentioned while they were
driving an automobile through Car
roll County, Virginia, they being TAX
en- by two Virginia highway troopers,
j. C. Aaron and Officer T. w. Car
ter.
1t does not appear that any Federal
charge has been laid against the two
men. The fact that Mrs. Thomas had
been nurse in the office of DIR. Hege
for about three years; and Banner
occupied room in the Hege home for
a longer time than that, seems all
that has been made public concern
ing their connection with the crime.
Banner is said to be a middle-aged
retired merchant of Mt. Airy.
The trial of the two men will like
ly be- called at an early date, as it is
planned to ask Circuit Judge John
Nottingham to call special grand
jury to consider the cases. The trag-
edy created widespread excitement at
the time, since Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
were very popular and had many
friends. The trial will be awaited
with intense interest.

teresting information and helpful sug-
gestions, in his usual style.
A feature of the Convention was the
use of song sheet furnished by the
Pocomoke Union, consisting of songs
written for the union by local people.

J. D. STUBBINS
A NATIVE SON
DIED SEPT. 29
Was A Devoted And Wen-In-
formed Member Of The
Masonic Fraternity
FUNERAL SERVICES HERE
BY CHESAPEAKE LODGE

jefferson Davis Stubbins, for many
years a resident of Crisfield, but for
about a year residing in Baltimore,
died on Tuesday afternoon of last
week from a complication of diseases.
He was IA years old.
He was born in Pocomoke City, the
son of the late Joseph and Keziah
Stubbins, and for many years was en-
gagged in the bakery and ice cream
business here.
About thirty years ago he moved to
Crisfield and engaged in the baking
business there. Later, and for the last
twenty years, his business has been
that of interior decorating.
A few days after his 21st birthday
he became a member of Crescent
Lodge of Masons in Pocomoke City,
and served as Master and Secretary
of that lodge. His interest in Masonry
was very keen, and he devoted many
hours to teaching the work to new
members who were having the various
degrees conferred upon them.
When he went to Crisfield he be-
came member of Chesapeake Lodge
No. lat, A. F. & A. NJ, and served
for number of years as tiler there.
1t was largely because of his sug-
gestion and insistence that Chesa-
peake Chapter No. %, Order of the
Eastern Star, was organized there,
and he was a charter member of that
organization and served it for a long
time as warder.
He was a member of the Past Mas
tiers Association of Somerset and Wor
cester counties, and seldom missed at
tending the annual session of this as
ISOLATION where the Past Masters de-
gree is conferred on all newly elected
Masters of Masonic lodges in the two
counties.
Funeral services were held at four
o'clock Friday afternoon in Pocomoke
City, and his body was laid to rest in
the Methodist Episcopal Church ceme-
terry here. The Masonic fraternity had
charge of the ceremony.
He is survived by his widow, Mrs.
Ruth Stubbins, one daughter, Mrs.
Carrie Hardgrave, of Baltimore, and
two sons, Joseph Stubbins, of Girls
field and Frank Stubbins of Balti-
more and several grandchildren.
