SWEETHEART,
CLERIC FLEE
PRISON

HARRISONVnLE, Mo, April
10 G.N.S0.-A spectacular escape
from the Cas- county jail, where
they were being held for trial on
q charge Of banditry, today fur.
nished the latest unexpected cpl
sode in the strange crime spree Of
a 24-year-old former preacher and
his young paramour sister-in-law.
The couple, Perry Griffin, "a,
who once preached at Adonis, Mo-,
and Madge Copeland, 20, Of Cres-
ton, Iowa, escaped last night while
Sheriff Glenn Weaver and his wife
were taking an automobile ride.
The bespectacled girl, who was
so infatuated with her sisters huS-
band that she left her Iowa home
and hitch-hiked here with him to
Missouri, effected the break single
handed.
Pounding o panel from the
door Of her prison room on the
second floor Of the jail with q
poker, the girl reached through
the opening and unattached the
door, freeing herself. An iron gate
on the outside did not extend to
the floor and she crawled under it.
She searched through Sheriff
Weaver's rooms until she found
the key to the bull pen" in which
her sweetheart was confined. She
released him and they fled, several
other prisoners who were with
Griffin refusing to take the chance
to escape.
No trace Of the fugitiveS had
been found this morning after an
all night search by Sheriff Weaver
and his deputies, he said.
The couple was arrested at
Springfield, Mo-, March 10,
charged with stealing the auto
mobile of VIII H. Hargus, Cass
county prosecutor, which was
parked here. A young college stu
dent, Leroy Ullery, who borrowed
the car from Hargus, was sitting
in it and was forced to accompany
Griffin and his companion. He was
released later.

BEACH'S
FUTURE is UNCERTAIN

Just what is to be. the future of
the Colchester Company and what
ferry schedule, if any, will be follow
ed next week is a question that can
not be answered at this time. The
present receivership of the company
ends next week and the future sched-
ule depends entirely upon what dis
position is made of the company's
property.
The present transportation prob
lem between Kent County and the
Western Shore is not very promising,
particularly due to the closing of the
Elkton-Northeast road for repairs.
Should the COLCHESTER schedule be
abandoned, those who do not have the
use of an automobile, will be very
much handicapped in getting to and
from Baltimore.

DEATH OF PROMINENT
MD. WOMAN OCT. 10Th

Mrs. Agnes Hooper Miles, widow of
the late Alonza L. Miles, prominent
Maryland lawyer, died Tuesday even
ing of last week at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Charles H. Weir, at
Salisbury, after short illness. Her
death was a great shock to her many
relatives and friends.
She was a daughter of the late J..
Henry and Louise Steel Hooper, of
Cambridge, and was born in that city
sixty-eight years ago.
In 1891 she married Mr.. Miles and
they resided in that city for a number
of years, Mr.. Miles being prominent
member of the Dorchester Bar, and
enjoyed a large practice there.
Later they moved to Baltimore,
where Mr.. Miles formed a partnership
with the late Arthur P. German, Jr.,
for the practice of law. Some years
later Mr.. and Mrs. Miles removed to
Salisbury where Mr.. Miles continued
to practice his profession until his
death in 1917.
After the death of her husband,
Mrs. Miles made her home with her
daughter, Mrs. Weir, at Eldon, near
Cambridge.
She is survived by her daughter,
Mrs. Charles H. Weir, of Salisbury,
three sons, Messrs. Alonza Lee Miles,
Jr., of Baltimore; Hooper S. Miles,
of Salisbury, State Treasurer and
President of the County Trust Com
pany of Maryland, and Clarence w.
Miles, of Baltimore, former Peoples
Council of the Public Service Com
mission; two sisters, Mrs. A. E.
Waters, of Baltimore and Mrs. Ed
ridge E. Wolff, of Cambridge. and
three brothers, Messrs. William E.

opinion, especially if they carry no
light, walk on the right hand side
of the road and wear dark clothes.
pedestrians should always walk
on the shoulder of the highway in
stead of on the road itself. They
should walk on the left side so they
face approaching traffic and have a
chance to get out of the way if the
driver fails to see them.
CAT night the law declares they
must carry a light but if caught by
an unexpected necessity for travel
ing they should wear something white
even if nothing better than carrying
white handkerchief in the hand
which will show up in front of head
lights and make them visible to the
motorists"

PEDESTRIANS URGED TO
CARRY NIGHT LIGHTS

So many recent accidents on high
ways, especially in the evening hours
in which pedestrians were involved,
emphasizes the law that they shall
carry lights at night, and proves the
necessity for walking on the left side
of the road and wearing or carrying
some white article of clothing, accord
ing to statement by G. G. Reynolds,
Superintendent Of State Police

The unusual accident occurred az
Marvin and his brother, Walter, 10,
were walking along the Cascades Trail

knife was caught underneath him,
stabbing him deeply in the back.

lHW RULE FOR TAGS
PURCHASE CONFUSING

According to word received from
the office of Walter R. Rudy, Commits
sioner of Motor Vehicles, it is evident
that the "free wheeling" granted
Maryland motorists for three months
as result of the change in automo-
bile licensing dates is likely to cause
complications for many car owners.
Many Marylanders who plan to mo-
tor to the South or other sections of
the country for the winter months
are wondering when they must, or may
display 1887 license tags on their
automobiles.
Scores of inquiries have been receiv-
ed at the office of Walter R. Rudy,
Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, but
because of the Technology of the new
law making April the date new tags
must be displayed, the inquiries must
furnish additional information to learn
how the statute applies to them.
AS explained by D. Marshall Shroed
er, deputy commissioner, both 1896
period from December Is to April 1,
but the discretion does not lie entire
ly with the motor car owner.
After December Is the commission
er's office will begin issuing 1887 tags
to owners who had not been issued
tags in 1886 and to owners from out
of-state whose tags expire January
/, 1887, Owners who have 1886
Maryland tags will not be permitted
to display 1887 markers until March
Is.
Consequently, the Maryland motor
list who plans to go to Florida, for
instance, may use 1887 markers OH
and after December Is provided he
had not been issued 1886 tags. If he
has tags for the current year he must
wait until March Is before putting
next years markers on his car.
On the other hand, if a motorist
changes his residence from Pennsyl-
vania, where licenses are issued ac-
cording to the calendar year, to Mary
land, he must display 1887 markers
on his car as of January 1.
Other complications are expected to
arise because of a wide variance a
mong the States in their automobile
license years. For instance, West Vir
ginia requires new tags to be dis
played on July 1, Virginia on April
l, Connecticut on March 1, Florida on
December 1 and Georgia on February
l. Wisconsin issues licenses for pas
senger vehicles on January l and
for trailers and trucks on July /.
The commissioners office will mott
fly all States of the change in Mary
lands licensing dates, in an effort to
minimize the difficulties which may

being now stored in that city ready
for placing.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gaskill say that their
connection with the Marva group buy
ing organization will permit them to
compete with the lowest grocery trade
prices as they prevail. Mrs. Gaskill
stated, eve are not going to be under
sold; we have the buying connections
and low overhead and we are going
to meet all competitive prices"

BEST CORN HUSKER
IN WICOMICO COUNTY

The first Annual Corn Husking
Contest held in Wicomico County at
the farm of Mr.. Theodore S. Hearne
on Saturday, October 18th, was won
by Mr.. John W. Hales, who is farm
ing in the Zion community.
Mr.. Hales husked 1875 bushels of
corn and Mr.. Elijah Smullen, who
won second prize, husked 1875 bushels.
Mr.. Henry Bailey won third place
and Mr.. w. R. Adkins of Pittsville
won fourth prize. The allotted time
was 80 minutes.
The judges, who were T. S. Hearne,
Jos. H. Parker and C. C. Jones, af-
ter measuring and looking over each
contestants row, decided Mr.. Hales
had won for the largest number of
bushels, the cleanest corn and leaving
the smallest number of cobs on the
stock.
A silver cup was presented to Mr..
Hales at the Wicomico County Farm
and Home Show on Wednesday night,
October 21st, by DR.. Blackwell, Pres
ident of the State Teachers College.
Mr.. Smullen received $1.O0 for Sec
ond prize and the other two contes-
tants received Soc each.
It is the hope of the Committee
that more farmers will enter the con-
test next year and that a large at
tendance will be secured from every
section of the County.

An unprecedented number of appli-
cation for 1886 tags is being receiv-
ed at the commissioners office this
month, it was said. Licenses for 1879
automobiles were issued last week,
bringing the total for the year to
approximately $4,000. Last year,
only 355,555 automobiles were regis
tered in Maryland.

Two days of travelling found the

three of hell. And this was summer!
On the second day there everyone
except Mary confessed to exhaustion
and surrendered, content to lie about
in a minimum of clothes until train
time. But Mary owed a duty to her
ancestry she was loathe to ignore.
Had not d'Almirante in ages long
past been Abbess of the Real Monas-
tsrio de las Hnelgas? Had she not en-
joyed the right of rope and dagger -
the power of life and death?
1t was an argument which went
straight to the heart of Miss Kate.
She put on her coolest white muslin
dress, turned down the brim of her
Panama hat and started for the door.
Come, Mary"
''Oh, Miss Kate, you're just the
sweetest dear! I'll love you forever
and I'll try to be good from now on"
Miss Kate turned in the door to ad-
dress her sister. Amy, we won't come
all the way back here; it would be
silly. Well meet you at the station at
train time. Girls, be sure Miss Amy
doesn't leave behind a single thing"

Every car in Burgos seems to have
started backfiring at oncer' There
came thudding sound close beside
her. Miss Ames fell on her hands and
knees into grotesque and ridiculous
posture, why. Miss Kater ex-
claimed Mary.
Then she saw a fountain of blood
burst in the center of Miss Ames' back
and swiftly spread through the thin
texture of the light summer dress.
Miss Kate collapsed into a tiny heap.
Miss Kate was dead!
Mary tried to scream. No sound
came forth. She made a movement
forward as though to throw herself
on her knees but at that instant bull
let splashed a huge spark from a
cobble between her and the pitiful
heap. She sprang back into the shal-
low embrasure of a door. Every door
on the street was shut and barred, the
shutters of every window closed in
side its iron grille. With her jaw
hanging loose in terror her eyes swept
down the street, counted three fallen
bodies, then saw another totter and
sink.
The distant clang of the station bell
came to her ears, insisting it be heard:
then the hoot of the departing train.
She was alone.
