TWO-YEAR OLD BOY A
BABE IN THE WOODS

Wallace Leroy Schoupe, who will
be two years old in July, was found
in the Woods in Blackwater district,
County, Cambridge, by Mr..
Hubert H. Wright, and was returned
to his home safe and sound.
The little fellow wandered away
from his home late last Tuesday. All
night, searching parties secured the
woods, near the home of his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. w. Wallace Schoupe,
but no trace of the child could be
found.
County authorities appealed to Mr..
Hubert H. Wright, pilot, shortly
after daybreak Wednesday. Mr..
Wright circled the woods near the
Schoupe home, spotted the boy and
directed the ground crew to him.
Rescuers found the boy awake and
unframed. He had slept all night in
the woods and needed only breakfast

SLASHER RAISES DOUBT
AS TO HIS SANITY

At first blieved to be mad, George
White, the negro who slashed Deputy
Sheriff Holland, and escaped from
Jail in Princess Anne, and who, fol-
lowing his rearrest was deemed sane,
again has created some doubt as to
his sanity among county authorities
it was learned last week.
White was scheduled for arraign-
ment before Magistrate last week,
but the hearing was postponed indef-
initely. This week it was said he
may never be arraigned at Princess
Anne at all, but may be sent to Bal
timore, where experts will examine
him to determine whether he is sane.
White, who severely cut Sheriff Hol-
land, gave his name as George Wash
ington," when he was apprehended,
but afterwards it was learned that
his right name is George White, of
Seaford, Delaware.
States Attorney Maddrix said last
week that he is undecided as to just
what course he will pursue, but is in
clined to think now that he will have
White examined in Baltimore.
Sheriff Holland is able to be out
again and attend to his uties as Dep
uty Sheriff and Jailer.

more County Negro, will carry forty
three lead shot in his body for the
rest Of his life as the result of his I'M
timely flight from a sheep pen near
the county seat.
Nicholas Gibbs, colored, who lives
on the Dulaney Valley road near
Sunnybrook Park, told police that he
was awakened about A. M. Sunday
Of last week by noise in his sheep
pen. Going to investigate, he saw
mans figure moving about among
the animals.
Gibbs called out, but received no
answer. He went into the house and
brought out a shotgun.
But this time the man in the sheep
pen had clambered over the fence,
and was running away. Gibbs fired,
hitting the stranger in the legs.
Once the visitor had been stopped
Gibbs recognized him. He called Of
ficer William Simms, who in turn
called the Cockeysviile ambulance.
The ambulance carried Winder to the
Towson Police Station, where Dr.
Green treated his wounds, and counted
them. Forty-three lead pellets were
found to have entered his body. They
were not removed.
Both Winder and Gibbs refused to
place any charges against each 9TH

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
DELAWARE SAFETY COUN-
Gil REPORTS PROGRESS

The Delaware Safety Council has
inst received the automobile fatal
ity tabulation for the first three
months of 1886, from the Aetna Cas-
ualty and Surety Company. The tab
ulation reveals that 1884 persons
have lost their lives in automobile
accidents compared with 2,901 for the
same period last year decrease OF
1872 per cent.
According to the Council many a
drivers tombstone might bear an cpl
taph reading: HE thought he had the
right-of-way." Maybe he did have
it, too; but what good is it now?
The fact is that the right-of-way is an
elusive possession. Courts have de-
fined it to their own satisfaction, but
the average driver too often thinks
he has it just when some other mo-
torist has the same idea. The result
is smash-up.
If you want to be sure about it,
ask for an expert opinion after you
have slowed down and let the other
car go first. That, you will agree, is
the safe way. After all, isn't the
safety of yourself and your passen-
gers the most important thing? You
may justly be incensed at the dis
courteous driver who always insists
upon beating you past the corner.
But take it calmly. Read your next
days newspaper. You can be sure
your name is not among the list of
injured in motor car accidents. And
you can find satisfaction in the know
ledge that you were not in any way
involved in the gruesome story OF
highway death and injury that has be-
come a daily feature in most news
papers.
If there were a school for drivers
in every community, one fundamen-
tai precept would doubtless be taught
first to every student driver: Cali
motor car accidents are avoidable!"
Do you question that precept? Sup
pose, then, you name over the varleu
accidents, with which you are famil-
lar and which you believe were UNI
avoidable. But stop moment. After
naming each one, ask yourself this
further question:
"Was it not humanity possible for
someone, by doing something either
before or at the time Of emergency
to have prevented that disaster?"
The fact is that the vast majority
of motor vehicle fatalitie and injur-
les are caused, directly OR indirectly
by the mistake, the incompetence, the
failure of someone sometimes more
than one. Even the small number
of accidents traceable to mechanical
failure might have been prevented by
thorough and frequent inspection, by
less speed, or by more expert driving
at the moment.
Yes, there may be, rarely, an ac-
cident which falls in the "Act of
God" class. But even these may Of
ten be prevented by foresight.

However, Claiborne would not be

THE LOBBY IMOuIRY

When Sanator Hugo Black of Alabama, set out with his sub-com- mittee to investigate the lobbying against the New Deals utility measure, passed last year. he start ed something.
 The United States Supreme Court may have to decide whether or not he'll finish it.
 Blacks Committee wanted copies of telegrams sent by various utility and business concerns, by their law yers and by others to the Federal Communications Commission; the Commission went to the telegraph company and got the telegrams.
 The Committee got the telegrams but so far it hasn't been able to use them or make them public.
 Silas Strawn, former president of the U. s. Chamber of Commerce and a prominent Chicago lawyer foe of the New Deal, first obtained an injunction restraining Western Union from handing over tele- grams of his law firm.
 Then, Hearst asked the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia for similar injunction. His peti- tion would require the Black Com mittee to return all the seized mes sages and would enjoin any future such seizures. The Communications Commisson was named as a party to the sut for an injunction.
 In charging conspiracy to in fringe the freedom of the press, the Hearst petition said:
 That the confederation, combi- nation and conspiracy entered into between the Black Committee and the Federal Communications Com mission constitutes an attempt to interfere with the functions of the press in violation of the first amendment of the Constitution.
 "The Senate Committee was ap- pointed by the Senate as it's repre- sentative and, of course, if the Sen ate's Committee can be enjoined, it would logically follow that the Sem ate itself could De enjoined." ! Another Democratic senator, Minton of Indiana, declared: "Ths is typical smoke screen stuff.

 Colonel Knox, two days later, said At the present time, the contest lies between Governor Ali. Landon of Kansas, and me.
 The Chicagoan failed to mention Senator William E. Borah, who op- poses him in the Illinois primary next month.
 Of Landon, he said:
 We are very much alike in view point upon issues, and we are agreed that no factional quarrels shall shake party harmony this year. We shall endeavor to keep it together and support whoever receives the nomination.
 Unlike Knox, Landon so far has not publicity affirmed his presiden- tial aspirations. But there has been no let-up in the Landau campaign. If anything, it is being pushed more vigoriusly.
 AS evidence oI tnls, John Hamll- ton. National Committeeman from Kansas. detached himself this week from the staff of the Republican National Committee and assumed the active management of the Lam don forces throughout the nation.
 The proponents of the Kansas Governor probably would deny the following argument: That Hamil- tons action was prompted by the increasing efforts of Senator Will liam E. Borah to gain sufficient delegates, at least to have a doni- nant voice in the selection of the G. o. P. nominee.

 The Landon leaders want the Pennsylvania delegation, just as they want those of New York, New Jersey and other eastern states. But their strategy, originally, was to get these delegations, if possible, without making a primary fight.
 They had hoped to benefit from the old time policy of uninstructed delegations from these eastern states. They will still probably do so as far as New York and New Jersey are concerned. But Borah's decision to enter Pennsylvania changed matters somewhat and ne-
