"He knew the people in jail were
still folks even If they had done
wrong" Mrs. Campbell said yesterday.
He realized, too, that all the GRIM
inals were not in jail"
The captain liked to retire to his
room in the house where he lived
40 years and read his books on Chris
tian Science in front of a window
shaded by a tall magnolia.
Eight years ago he met Mrs. Eva
Bixler of Capital Heights, Md. at
the Second Church of Christ Scientist,
and on June / of last year they were
married.
1t was his religious devotion which
endeared him to the Jail inmates.

The system, he explained, was based
on the use of a double wall, separated
by q 4-inch air space. In effect, he
said, the construction insulated the
interior from exterior climatic huctua-

In Summer, Stearns explained,
fresh air was made to enter through
open cellar windows. From these it
rose into the empty wall spaces.
There the brick absorbed excess
moisture and finally, dehumified and

In Winter the basement windows

LOS ANGELES, March 7.-George
Bernard Shaw, the cadfly wit and
champion hyperbolic insulter, met his
match today.
Arriving on their world tour, Shaw
and Mrs. Shaw sought out quiet
spot in hotel dining room.
An earnest young man popped up
before the surprised Shaw and gargled:
I'm Timothy Glutzspiegel, reporter
from a Hollywood film paper, got to
get an interview from you"
II saw all the reporters I'm going
to see down at the train," Shaw said,
annoyed.
But that was old stuff you gave
them-you only repeated yourself"
"What-what, why you-"
"I've got to get this interview. My
paper will fire me If 7 don't"
What business of mine is 1t If you
get fired? Now we're about to have
lunch"
Thanks, I'm not hungry"
Nobody asked you to eat"
BY this time dangerous light had
appeared in Mrs. ShaWs eyes.
Whats this about these English
producers making star raids on our
Hollywood talent?" the interviewer
demanded.
"Whered they get the money-did
the English government subsidize the
English studios?"
why do American editors persist in
misusing the word subsidize?" Shaw
interjected.

juice?" The reporter reached, but
thought better Of it. What about

he asked.

S|GNB0ARD BILL
VOTED IN VIRGINIA
Measure Amended by House
Contains Joker, Says
Daniel.
BY STAFF Correspondent Of Tn. Star.

RICHMOND, Va, March IA bill.
board bill with joker which makes
it applicable only to any signs which
might be deemed misleading was
passed today as the Senate agreed ia
House amendment aimed at almost
total elimination of the signs.
The Senate having killed both It's
own and the Houses billboard legis-
lation, the House attempted last night
to amend local bill by Senator Rob-
ert w. Daniel by tacking on to it most
of the desirable provisions of the orig.
inal House billboard bill.
When the matter came up today,
Senator Daniel arose and asked con-
currence in the House amendment,
declaring he had at first been skeptical
of it, but found it did not hurt his
bill. He said it was time the general
assembly gave some consideration to
the women Of the State who have been
seeking elimination of the advertising
signs,
Several members of the Senate OBJ
jected to the bill as amended, until
they had made study of 1t. They
then agreed, and the measure was
passed.
The joker, as explained by Senator
Daniel, is that the House attempted
to enact his measure into one making
the State highway commissioner the
complete "czar" Of billboards, but
failed to amend the original bill, which
referred only to misleading signs or
those with fraudulent advertisements.
However" said the Senate patron,
'it is an opening wedge and may pave
the way for more stringent legislation
at the next session."

Jail Artist Painting Portrait
Of Guard Mourned BY Inmates
Late John Campbell
Praised for Influence
on Prisoners.
Photo Serues Shepherd
in Making CanUds of
Popular Officer.
BY BLAIR BOLLES.

The prisoners at District Jail were
so fond of the late John Campbell,
head guard, whose duties included
supervising electrocutions. that the
most artistic one among them is paint
ing his portrait.
The artist is George ]. Shepherd,
serving one to two years as a result OF
charges by Richard Folsom Cleveland
of Baltimore, son of former President
Grover Cleveland.
Cleveland said Shepherd did a
crayon drawing of Charles Carroll Of
Carrollton, noted Revolutionary figure,
and sought to sell it to him as a rare
work by Rembrandt Peale.
Copied from Photograph.
The Campbell canvas is being copied
from a photograph taken of the ST.
year-old captain of the watch last
November. 1t was the first made OF
him since 1898, when he married for
the first time.
Capt. Campbell gave each of his six
children a copy of the picture last
Christmas. Less than month later,
January %, he was dead.
He succumbed at Casualty Hospital
two days after he was hit by street
car. He had been planning to retire.
Capt. Campbell was my one real
friend" according to an eliminate of
the Jail, who wrote the second Mrs.
Campbell, married last June. when he
read of the captains death.
Mothers Praise Him.
Before the funeral, several colored
women came to Mrs. Campbell and
told her how much her husband had
done for their boys when they were
sent 10 jail.
From another inmate came this
letter:
please allow me to express to you
my feelings of appreciation for hav-
ing personally known as a friend a
man as great as Capt. Campbell, who
saw only good in every one and
was ready to help in every way those

NEW RELIEF STUDY
MAY Be ORDERED
Maryland Legislators Seen
Likely to Make Own

ANNAPOLIS, March THE pos
sibility that the State Legislature,
embroiled in bitter wrangling over the
entire relief question, with county
forces allied against Baltimore city,
may order its own survey of welfare
conditions in Maryland, was foreseen
tonight.
The development came as the legis-
lators rested over the week end before
returning to Annapolis for a resump-
ton of their efforts to devise some
means of raising $7,000000 to care
for needy residents during the next
IA months.
Indorsing the estimate of the So
called Casey Committee with regard
to the amount required for relief
leaders of the new Association OF
County Welfare Boards have let ii
be known. however. that they regard
the report as inaccurate" in several
major points and favor a new survey
Much Data Available.
It is believed the association, being
closer to the relief problem, can pre-
sent more forcefully the needs of the
$4,000 persons involved in the emer-
gency. Composed of representative
citizens in each county, the welfare
boards have a vast amount of data
at their finger tips which members
of the Casey Committee are reported
to have overlooked.
Representatives of the association
are to appear before the House Ways
and Means Committee at 2 O'Clock
Tuesday afternoon and will volunteer
at that time to prepare report or
conditions in their counties within
few days. The Senate Finance Com.
mittee will be invited to sit in.
It is felt that the two finance groups
which must pass upon any plan ad-
vanced for tapping new sources o1
relief revenue, may be able to builc
up a new tax bill from this informa-
ton.

Included among the four are bills
for taxes on beer and liquor, which
the county bloc threatens to force
down the throats of the city contin-
cines and cigarettes.
City Senators Warned.
The city Senators were told yes
terday that If Baltimore City wanted
relief it would have to be financed by
beer and liquor levies, as any other
tax would be repugnant to the coun-
ties, which the county Senators feel
can take care of their own burden

city Senators was called for this
week end to discuss means of con.
vincing their county colleagues that
some relief measure must be enacted

First recorded gold production in
this country was in North Carolina.

Labels of Disgrace.
These are typical Of the labels Of

Baby, Bite Finger Baby"
"The Fools Coat" and the "Bashew
Of Tails" were other forms Of disgrace
often worn. The Bashew Of Tails was
made by suspending three birchen
rods from a fox tail say, and is
recommended as being such an ex-
cellent punishment for senior boys,
that few repetitions are necessary"

Mark Twain many years later re-
marked: Soap and education are not
only as sudden as massacre but often
more deadly in the long run" Con-
cerning slovenliness, Mr.. Lancaster
puts forth this suggestion: when a
boy comes to school with dirty face
and hands it Is effective If a girl be
appointed to wash his face in sight OF
the whole school," This. he unneces-
sarily adds, usually not only creates
diversion, but if she according to pre-
vious direction, also gives his cheek
few gentle taps of correction with her
hand, this measure has been known
to be SO effective. that thereafter in
the same school, boys have been
known to keep their faces clean Tor
all of two years."
Curb For Profanity.
To curb profanity, it was suggested
that "the offender be dressed up with
labels, describing his offence, and
tin or paper cap be put upon his head"
in which he is compelled to walk
around the school with two OF his
companions, preceding him proclaim
ing his faults loudly or softly accord
ing to the degree of his punishment"
What was the reaction of the school
audience to this proceeding the
chronicle Is silent.
1t seems incredible that this could
be. but If you doubt, read for your
self that occasionally boys are put
in sacks or baskets suspended from
the roof Of the school room in sight
of all the pupils, who frequently smile
at them as If they were birds in cages"
This, it is added. sis one Of the most
