NEGRO SHOT WHILE IN
A CHURCH HILL HOME

Frank Teat, Church Hill negro,
Queen Anne County, was too confident
of his ability to prowl as silently as
cat and received a pistol bullet in
the back when he was discovered riff
ling the desk of Bernard L. Apple
ford at Church Hill shortly before
midnight on Wednesday of last week.
Teat, not seriously injured when a
bone deflected the course of the bull
let leaped through a window carrying
sash, screen and all, but was appre-
hended Thursday by Sheriff T. Her.
bert Everett, Deputy Sheriff Louis B.
Perkins and Constable Bordley Sew
ard and lodged in Jail. At hearing
before Magistrate j. West Thompson
Monday evening he was held for ac-
tion by the grand jury.
According to the officers, Teat slip
ped through an unlocked window in a
bedroom of Mr.. Appleford's home,
took off his boots, picked up two pairs
of pants and searched them without
getting anything. He then proceeded
to ransack desk in the living room
and found ten dollars.
The negro stood near the desk with
his flashlight playing on him as he
took time out to transfer the $40 hp
his own pocketbook. Meanwhile Mr..
Appleford was awakened, came in
with his pistol and fired at Teat's
fairly outlined form. The negro leav-
ing his boots, pocketbook, cap and
flashlight took a solo through the
window and escaped into the under
brush near a stream.
When the officers in a car met him
Thursday Teat accepted ride, said he
was without shoes, but readily claimed
his own boots in the back seat and put
them on. He likewise accepted his
cap.
Teat recently completed two-yeal
stretch in the House of Correction fol
breaking and entering the Wilson and
Terrick store at Ingleside, at which
tin 'e he left footprints in spilled flour
on he floor so that the officers haC

the fight actively begun by Senator
of Crisfield and of Somerset, and it
was through that source that it was
recently announced that the long
sought road would actually be built.
With the beginning of this survey,
it seems reasonably certain that with
in a comparatively short time the
laying of the road will be started and
soon the new road will replace the one
now in use that is in deplorable con-
dition.

Armory has been started by A. N.
Stavely & Son who has the contract
for the complete renovation of the
building.
The contract includes replastering
the building and laying of concrete
floor in the basement.
A new roof will be put on the build
ing by the Catch Company, of Balti-
more.
The new plastering work will over
come much of the difficulty experien-
ced due to sweating walls as an air
space will be left between the brick
walls and the new plastered surface.

the infection gained entrance. Thru

a constantly increasing weakness, and
it may be some time before normal
health is restored.

BABY GIRL GONE
 SINCE MONDAY

Arlington, Vt, Aug. 1s-(U.P)- Nearly 500 eco workers, deputy sheriffs and volunteers resumed search today for 20-month- Alice Baker, who vanished from the sum- mer home of her parents late Mon- day.
 The parents, MT. and Mrs. Ken meth Baker of Hudson Falls, N. r., feared the child had wandered into woods and was suffering from hun ger and exposure. They discounted Kidnapping theory as improbable. |"
 Two companies of eco workers joined the search yesterday. The Hale Chair Company. the towns only industry, suspended operations to permit its l50 employees to aid. Searchers covered nearly a two- mile radius about the Baker home without finding clue to the child's whereabouts.
 Alice disappeared during a 10- minute interval while her mother was obtaining milk at neighbors farm. None of the children in the neighborhood saw her leave the house.
 Baker is telephone lineman.

themselves refuse to accept. Nothing
short of amazing is the attitude Of
some parents who absolutely blind
themselves to what their boys and
girls are doing. especially after
dark, obviously giving no heed as to
their whereabouts, their occupation
or the company they are in.
The advice is as "old as the hills"
but just as timely now as a thous-
and years ago-that parents keep
their children off the streets at
night. Do not let them risk the
temptations facing them as they
roam streets and alleys unattended,
perhaps in company with mates in
spired by gangster stories of detec-
tive magazines. Herbert AAen was a
normal boy. no different than the
average boy here or anywhere.
There were no hereditary inclina-
tons towards his career of crime.
He had good parents. and was going
along fine until somewhere along
the line he became inspired with the
ambitions of the gangster. Just a
little more attention as to his wherS-
abouts might not only have given
society a life of usefulness. but
saved two lives-his own and the
man he helped to murder.

SENATORS AGAINST
HIGHER INTEREST

A fierce congressional contrOv-
ersy developed this week in the
Senate out of an administration
proposal to increase farm interest
rates as means of preventing an
inflationary Gland BOOM"
Senator BOrah, Republican, Ida
no, and Wheeler, Democrat, Mon
tana, quickly challenged the sug-
gestion by Governor w. 1. Myers,
of the farm credit administration
that the emergency 3 1-2 per cent
interest rate on land bank loans
be permitted to expire July 1.
Wheeler, who forced the low
emergency rate through the SEN
ate, characterized as "Sheer non
sense" Myers statement that its
continuation might stimulate a
harmful land boom.
Borah, calling attention to the
administration bill to relieve farm
tenancy, said the "best way to
handle farm tenancy is Ito make
it possible for the farmer who
now owns his farm to continue to
own it."
