BUYSC0L0RED
COLLEGE

COLLEGE PARK, Md, March
20.-Purchase of Princess Anne
Academy, colored junior college
at Princess Anne, Md, by the
University Of Maryland was made
public by Attorney General Her
bert O'Conor yesterday in Balti-
more. The purchase was made
following official authorization by
the 1885 session of the Maryland
legislature.
According to a statement by
H. c. Byrd, president Of the Uni
versity Of Maryland, the State
has contracted to pay 100000
in four installments to Morgan
College, owners of the school. The
initial payment of $500 was
made in O'Conor'S office Satur-
day at the time of the signing
Of the contract. Gordon Tull was
attorney for the academy.
For the last II years Princess
Anne Academy has been operated
jointly by Morgan College and
the State of Maryland.
The sale involves transfer of
q large farm, several dormitorieS,
class rooms, several cottages and
a power plant. Official accept
ance Of the academy by the uni

Princess Anne was founded in
1885 and until 1919 received funds
from the Federal Government ap-
propriated for land-grant colleges.
Since that time it has received
funds indirectly through an ap-
portioning of the $5O,OOO Federal
grant for the entire State. Un-
der the Bankhead Act recently
passed by Congress, the annual
income from Federal sources will
be increased to $4,000 over a

ing the next quarter of a cen
tury, If present birth rates and

REFUGEES ASK
CLOTHES AND
MEDICINE

HARPERS FERRY, w. Va,
March 19.-Hunger and the fear
of an epidemic of typhoid fever
were left behind as the flood
waters of the Potomac and Shen-
andoah Rivers rolled away from
Harpers Ferry, w. Va.
Hourly, the food supply of the
town of 1900 dwindled until
grocers were forced to ration food
to waiting lines of hungry towns
folk.
Mrs. Gilbert Perry, head Of the
Women'S Aid Club of HarperS
Ferry, asked The Washington
Times to communicate with the
Red Cross authorities in Wash
ington, inStructing them that
food and clothing supplies are i'm
mediately needed here.
100 in Dire Need
Local Rec Cross heads, she said,
are out of town and isolated by
floods in Elkton and other sections
of the State. Apparel and bed
clothes for at least 100 are needed
before nightfall.
Although every bridge between
Williamsport, Md, and Elkton,
Va, is reported under water,
there is a possibility that a truck
load of supplies might get across
Daley bridge on route 8, three
miles from Charles Town.
Red Cross headquarters at
Harpers Ferry and Charles Town,
pooled their treasures today to
buy $10O worth of food and sup
plies for flood sufferers, to help
out in the immediate predica-
ment. Harpers Ferry water sup
ply and sewage systems are Grip
pied, causing widespread anxiety
for the health of the town. Those
who escaped the flood here are
taking care of from two to 16
persons, whole families share a
single room. The twon will be
under water for days. The flood
is subsiding very slowly, dropping
only three feet in eight hours.

ed that the engineer in charge was on the
gallery outside the building when muffier
blew off setting fire to the building So
quickly did the flames envelop the place
that the engineer could not enter the build
ing. Only the walls are left standing and
much damage has been done to the machin
cry. The ice cream parlor which adjoins
the power plant was slightly damaged. The
fine engine did effective work in preventing
the spread of the fire.
The town will be without electricity for
some time, which is discomfort that must
be endured.

CUMMINGS STATES
TACTICS ON CRIME
Developing U. S. Technique
He Declares in Town
Hall Address.

Declaring that every effort Of
mankind to improve his civilization
is merely building upon a founda-
ton Of sand so long as there is Or
ganized crime and disregard Of law.
Attorney General Homer S.. Cum
mings told the Town Hall of Wash
ington last night at the Shoreham
Hotel that it Is the aim of the JUS
tice Department to develop an
American technique of dealing with
this problem in accordance with our
traditions and our Constitution"
: Organized crime in America, he
said, had reached perhaps its high
est peak at about the time the pres
ent Administration came into office
and the responsibility of the Fed
eral Government to deal with the
situation had become heavier than
ever before in national history.
Between Federal and State juris-
dictions, he pointed out, there ex-
listed kind of twilight zone or neu-
trail corridor, unpoliced and un-
protected. in which criminals of the
most desperate character we're able
to carry on their depredations in rela-
tive safety. 1t is into this zone the
Federal Government has stepped.
Worlds Biggest Law Office.
In its war against American crime,
the Attorney General said. the JUS
tice Department has grown into the
largest law office in the world. with
5000 employees and an annual budget
Of Sal, 100000. This great organi-
zation Is developing structure and
a technique predicated upon co-opera-
