TO TRY NEWCASTLE MAN HERE FRIDAY ON LIQUOR CHARGE
Charles M. Miley, of Newcastle, will be tried Friday morning before Mayor Handley, on a charge of transporting liquor. Miley was arrested following a collision in which the roadster which he was driving crashed into a truck owned by Walter Sauers. The accident occured at the corner of Seventh and North A streets. Miley was arrested by Motorcycle Officer " Hennigar as the Newcastle man reached the concrete road about two miles west of Richmond. "Let me alone, I'm having enough trouble getting home now," complained. Miley, when stopped. On searching the roadster, police officers found eight gallons of white mule, two live chickens, two live rabbits, a quantity of potatoes, apples and cabbage, butter, spare ribs and eggs. A .25 calibre automatic pistol was found on Miley's person. Three gallons of the liquor was lost when the jugs were burst in the collision. When asked by Chief Eversman why he ran, after the accident, Miley stated, "Wouldn't you run too if you had what I had." The Sauers truck was disabled to the extent of a broken down wheel and wrenched front axle. The right running board of Miley's roadster was caved in and the front axle was strained. Miley is held in city jail, awaiting
trial Friday morning before Mayor
Handley, on a charge of transporting liquor. Miley stated that he was bringing the liquor from Eaton, Ohio.

AUTHORITY OF CASS TO CONTRACT GRANTED
Special Judge Alonzo R. Feemster
overruled a demurrer filed several
weeks ago in the case of the city of Hagerstown against Robert Cass, man-
ager of the light plant, in Wayne cir
cuit court Wednesday. His decision

contract with the Liberty Light and
Power company, for transmission of electric current to Hagerstown.
In overruling the demurrer Judge
Feemster stated that while the town
of Hagerstown may have discharged
Cass as their representative, he had
been the representative of the com pany while executing the contract with the Liberty company.
Potatoe Growers Hold 160,000 Carloads of Last Season's Crop (By Associated Press) df CHICAGO, Feb. 8. One hundred and sixty thousand carloads of last season's record-breaking potato crop still are in possession of growers, a
surplus without precedent in the last
nine years, the United States bureau of agricultural economics said today.
The condition wa3 said to be due
chiefly to difficulty in moving the unusually large crop.
The ability of shippers to market
the unusual surplus was said to de
pend largely upon the absorption power of the market. It was estimated that only about one-half the 160,000 carloads would be marketed and the
remainder held for seed, indicatintr
the marketable amount would exceed
last years heavy shipments after
Jan. 1.
Severe weather of the past week retarded shipments and distribution, while the market showed a general decline of five to 10 cents. ' Early spring products from Florida and the south increased on the markets and fn some instances prices dropped. Florida strawberries, finding public approval, remained firm throughout the week.
WOODMAN TO PREACH
SPECIAL SERMONS ON PRESENT DAY TOPICS
Present day questions will constitute the 6ermon themes on which
Rev. Charles W. Woodman, of the West Richmond Friends church, will preach on the next four Sundays, says an announcement Thursday. These topics, he believes, are of burning interest to the laity, because they are sharply to the front in the discussions in the press, religious journals, schools and homes of the country. His presentation of the factors1 involved in their ans-wer, Rev. Woodman says, has grown, out of the general, discussion which they have evoked in many circles, showing a desire on the part of many for enlightenment upon them. The series will begin with the morning service next Sunday. The themes and the dates of delivery follow:
February 11 In the light of present
tendencies among young people what
is the moral and religious responsibility of the public schools? February 18 In the light of modern science what becomes of the Bible?
February 25 In the light of sectarian dogmas what Is the real basis of faith? March 4 In the light of the world situation what la the proper estimate of Christianity?
