with a blunt instrument and ordered
him to get out of the machine. He
then robbed him of three dollars, and

been driven, and it was in this way
that it was located. In the deserted

Grand Jury. Sitting on the bench also
were Judges James M. Crckoett and
T. Sangston Insley.
"The Court was recently greatly
surprised to read in the August 26
issue of The Salisbury Times an ar
ticle, the name of whose author will
be found, in which charges are made
(1) that book making establishments
were flourishing in our midst, (2)
that the liquor laws are being flag
rantly violated, and (3) that the
Sheriff of the County upon at least
one occasion, by reason of political
connection or outright graft winked
and connived at such violations, the
jurist said.
The article referred to was an ac-
count of sermon preached at Sloan
camp meeting by the Rev. S. B. Brad
ley, Methodist minister at Fruitland
and a prime mover in the formation
recently of a good government league
in the county.
Judge Johnson urged the jury to
have brought before it the clergyman
making the charges, and, if they are
found substantiated, present for trial
in this Court any person believed by
you to have corruptly neglected theier
duties and produced such conditions. y

Worcester, Somerset and Wicomlco
counties, and comprising more than
10000 acres, will soon be turned over
to the State according to information
supplied by Washington to Arthur E
Hungerford and made public in q
statement to boards of county COM
missioners, recently.
Before the projects are turned over
to DR.. Frank w. Besley, State Forest
er, the Government will complete the
purchase of an additional 1872 acres
at Grantsville and LOOT acres on the
Eastern Shore, Hungerford said.
These, which will round out the
tracts and fill in odd corners, will
bring the Grantsville project to
35,766 acres and the Eastern Shore
project to 1892 acres, adding total
of 44,458 acres to State forests. One
Shore site will be transferred to the
United States Forestry Service fol
experimental work.
The Shore project in the future will
provide employment for six months
in the year for forty-five men and the
Grantsville project for 18O men, ac-
cording to the State Forester.
With proceeds from the sale OF
their land the approximately zoo
former owners, who with their fam
lilies were slowly starving on the
land, have been able to make a new
start elsewhere, Hungerford said.

Restrictions on
Jews In Germany

Berlin, June 49, (AP) - The
government today decreed more
severe restrictions on Jewish COM
merce and finance in Nazi Ger
many.
A decree published in an of
fetal newspaper defined more
closely than ever before what
shops, businesses or other COM
mercial undertakings are to be re-
garded as Jewish. Whereas the
character of a One-man shop is
easy to determine, it has been
found that this often is difficult
in the case of a big department
store or joint stock concern.
The decree aims to make GER
tain that bans against Jewish or
part-JeWish stores or concerns
shall be observed to the fullest
extent as far as members of the
Nazi party and the entire Ger
man civil service are concerned.
Uncertainty as to whether an es-
tablishment is Jewish or not is
