shot Waters with 22-calibre revolv-
err after an argument at Mr.. Elwood
Beauchamp's filling station near Man
okin, early last Monday evening.
1t is reported that Poleyette, in a
somewhat excited prediction condi-
ton, took exception to the way the
colored man asked for gas when he
drove up to the filling station and
securing the revolver a few minutes
later, fired at him three times, two
Of the bullets taking effect, one pass
ing through the fleshy part of Waters
shoulder and the other striking him
squarely in the mouth, knocking out
an upper front tooth, splitting his
tongue and penetrating the windpipe.
He was taken to the McCready Mem
crial Hospital in Crisfield, where, for
several days his condition was critical
but is now reported as satisfactory"
Waters is a generally respected col
ored farmer of the jamestown neigh
borhood and is the owner of the Up
per Hill colored school bus which
transports the Paramount colored ele-
mentary children to the Westover
school and the high school pupils to
Greenwood in Princess Anne.
The unfortunate affair is regretted
by all who know him of both races.
He is 80 years of age, married and
has five children, and he is consider
ed one of the leading colored citizens
of his community.

KENT COUNTY ELECTION
OFFICIALS MAKE ERRORS

Twenty-four Kent county election
officials were summoned before the
County Board of Election Supervisors
''to correct if possible errors in I'M
proper election returns"
Sheriff John N. BENEFIT served sub
poenas on the officials, who served in
four precincts. They came before the
election board in an attempt to change
the official returns.
Thomas w. Trew, head of the cleo
ton board, explained that the mis-
takes had been made in counting the
votes for Presidential electors. A
vote for vote for all electors Of that
party.
In addition, in the disputed pre-
cincts the votes given the electors in
dividually were added to the total
number of votes for the Presidential
candidates of that party.
The four precincts are scattered
over Kent county. Those involved
are the Millington, two precincts in
Rock Hall and Pomona.
The election officials came ir
promptly and in a short while showed
that their returns tailed exactly. The
Supervisors were satisfied and the
vote was reported as noted.
The election supervisors pointed
out that a change in the returns woulC
be difficult, if not impossible tt
make without a court order. Aftel
the election the ballot boxes arr
sealed up and may not be opened with
out an order from the court. The!
pointed out that, at the hearing, i
might be possible, however, to worl
out some method of correcting the re
turns.

Norfolk. was the speaker of the even
ing, and he, together with the music
for the occasion, was obtained by Ro-
tartan Berkeley Ward.
Senior Barranco delivered very in
teresting and educational address,
dwelling upon the pleasant relation
ships existing between Cuba and the
United States, and at the conclusion
of his address rendered piano selec-
ton, composed by him for the occas-
ion.
The music program was of very
unusual nature in that it was render
ed by Master Stan Won Schilling and
his father. Master Stan, at four and
one half years, plays the largest bass
tuba in existence and has been feat
ured by Ripley in his "Believe 1t or
Not" radio program as being one of
the musical wonders of the present
age.
Master Stan has also obtained con
tract to appear in pictures at Holly
wood. His father accompanies him on
the piano accordion.
There were sufficient oysters fur
nished by the hosts to make every
body feel pleasantly happy and the
entire program and evening was con-
sidered one of the outstanding events
of it's kind held in the county in the
past several years.

SOMERSET co. CITIZEN

Mr.. George H. Coulbourne, 80, one
of Crisfield's oldest and most highly
respected citizens, died at his home on

been ill only about three weeks.
Unusually active for person of
his age, Mr.. Coulbourne, although he
remained close to his home, attended
to his garden the past summer, and
continued to do the chores about the
house. Sometime ago, he fell and in
iured himself about the face, being
already lame.

HALLOWEEN FRANKS
RESULT IN DAMAGE

The observance of Halloween in
Baltimore county was in large meas
ure confined to costumes and harmless
pranks, but in several sections hood
lums persisted in permanently dam
aging valuable property and in risk
ing the lives of citizens in manner
distinctly not humorous.
A prank which might have resulted
seriously occurred at the home of
Daniel M. House, 313 E. Pennsylvania
avenue, Towson. Mr., House reported
to police that bullet came through
a window in the north side of his
home as he stood in an adjoining
room. He said he heard the noise, but
did not discover what had happened
until the next morning, when his wife
found a bullet on the floor as she was
watering flowers in the room.
Ruxton road, from Ellingham ave-
nue. to the Fall road, was wrecked
by vandals who evidently used long
rope tied to an automobile. Not a
single road sign, state road marker,
or mail box escaped their efforts. At
the top of the hill near Falls road
large mailbox in the center OF the
road lay near an uprooted "Curve"
sign, mounted on a concrete post, ~
ing across the highway. Auto traffic
was virtually impossible until pass
ing motorists got out of their cars
and hauled the heavy concrete and
steel contrivances to the side of the
road.
John S. Armstrong, Jr., of Ruxton,
reported to Towson police that a pick
ct fence at his home had been torn
down during the night and that ivy
trained against the sides of his house
had been pulled down and strewn
about the yard.

Being the loser, Chatham must push

gallons of this mystery gasoline. Then
they went out to test it. Later, they were
asked for their honest, candid opinions. Here
are the figures. The statements of those mo-
florists who were already using Blue Sunoco
have been omitted from the compilation.
BLUE SUNOCO WINS AGAINST 81
OTHER LEADING BRANDS OF
GASOLINE
In this remarkable test, Blue Sunoco was
compared with 81 other makes of gasoline
- extra priced, regular priced, cut priced.
The 1914 motorists who took part in the
test didn't know which gasoline they were
testing-don't know even yet, until they
read this report.

BOMBING INCIDENT
ALARMS SWEDEN
Public Sentiment Believed to
Favor Assertive Action in
World Affairs.

STOCKHOLM CP).-Anger and ir-
dignation over the bombing of the
Swedish ambulance unit in Ethiopia
by Italian airmen have caused wave
of public opinion in favor Of more
definite participation by Sweden in in
ternational affairs.
No event in recent years has so
shaken the reserved attitude which
Sweden has maintained toward the
problems of Europe as a whole.
A message issued by Archbishop
Erling Eidem, in the name Of the
Swedish Bishops Conference, and
read at all Swedish churches, declared,
in part:
THE Swedish peoples love Of peace
must not become selfish but must be
bound up with strong living sense
of responsibility to the community of
all peoples.
Our people must not seek to make
use of the international order simply
/ to avoid risks and sacrifices. They
must not seek to PARASITIC on protein
tive measures by others. They must
realize their duty to the solidarity of
nations
| A gradual shift in Sweden's attitude
has been apparent for some time, start
ing with the sending of soldiers to
help police the Saar during the plebi-
scite on reunion with Germany. For.
eign Minister Rikard Sander has de-
clared himself publicly against what
he termed Sweden's spectator" atti-
tude toward international affairs.
