NEGRO PLEADS GUILTY
Sentenced To Life In "Pen" For Harford County Murder.
(Continued from Page 1) Jenifer, State's Attorney of Baltimore county, appeared for the State. Mr. Carver said that owing to the prisoner's emaciated condition from tuberculosis he did not think, the case measured up to the infliction of the death penalty, and Mr. Worth-ington said that he agreed with the suggestion of counsel for the defense.
Alcina Allison, colored, testified that the prisoner and the dead man had a dispute as to the time of the day. Hart said that it was quarter of four o'clock and McGaw that it was 3.30 o'clock. Hart went and got his pistol and shot McGaw four times. Hart testified that McGaw ha dthreatened to kill him, and it was only a question which one should get the other first.

Should Baltimore county investors in Young's Blind Pool return to the estate the thousands in surplus received by them as "dividends," general creditors of the bankrupt speculator will receive 50 to 60 cents on the dollar, it lias been announced by the trustees in bankruptcy.
These refund payments are being made to C. Arthur Eby, trustees, as the result of a recent ruling of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals of the Fourth Circuit, which upheld Judge Morris A. Soper in his decision that investors who received from the pool more than they invested must return the surplus.
Last week Eby sent to 2425 of such investors letters asking the return of the surplus received by them. Each letter contained a copy of the court's ruling.

(Continued from Page 1) tries in Europe and Asia, to learn the best American methods of instruction and school organization. They went to Virginia chiefly to visit the model American small university and to Maryland to inspect the model American rural school
American education, various members of the class said, is the type of education that all the countries of the world, except the older countries of Europe, are coming to adopt for their own.
"In China," K. T. Lo, of Peking, declared, "the German system of the gymnasium was in vogue before the 'war-. Since then American education entirely has taken its place. China sends more than 3,000 students to American universities every year. She sends hardly 1,000 to all the European countries put together. At present there are 50,000 students in Peking alone studying in Chinese universities conducted after American methods. After these students have graduated a good number of them will teach school.
"Since the war the percentage of illiteracy has been reduced to a point where only 25 per cent, of the population cannot read or write. The war in China has slowed up the progress of education considerably, with a large number of the universities running at only part time."
Mr. Lo said that of the 3,000 Chinese students in America, 1,000 earned their own way. The other 2,000, he added, were supported by the Boxer indemmnity fund and other scholarships.
The system of education in Australia also is based largely on American methods, according to another member of the class, F. B. Riley, of Australia, who lately has been an inspector of education in Mesopotamia. He said that Australian educators used American ideas which had been experimented successfully with in this country, changing them somewhat to fit Australian conditions.
Australian education, however, Mr. Riley said, is under a different form of control from that in American education. In America, he declared, every county or town has its own supervisor, with each supervisor being entirely independent of the rest. In Australia, on the other hand, he added, all district supervisors, or inspectors, are under direction of the Minister of Education of all Australia. Control of education is thus entirely centralized, Mr. Riley said. This has numerous advantages, one of which is the making possible of teaching by correspondence children in the rural districts who live miles from any school, he asserted.
The countries represented by the students are India, Russia, Australia, Arabia, China, Korea, Japan, Poland, Bulgaria, Austria, Czecho-Slo-vakia, Porto Rico, Mexico, England and France.

BONSAL-JENKINS MARRIAGE ANNULLED.
An opinion was rendered on Tuesday in the Circuit Court at Towson by Judge Walter W. Preston annulling the marriage of Leigh Bonsai, Jr., to Mrs. Catherine McPhail Jenkins, which was asked for in a bill filed by Bonsai. In part Judge Preston says:
"I think the testimony bears out the contention of the complainant that at the time of the performance of the marriage ceremony he was in no condition to enter into a binding contract of any kind. The defendant herself seems to have had no thought that there was to be a binding marriage, but that the whole; affair was a joke."
Continuing, Judge Preston reviews the testimony and says "the whole picture of the case disclosed is very bad. It is clear that all of the parties had been drinking, and the complainant was especially under the influence of liquor and was on a prolonged spree which continued after the ceremony. The testimony shows that there was no con-sumation of the marriage."
(Continued from Page 1) the practice of running trains against the current of traffic, held to have been responsible for the accident, is a common practice of the company, the petition states:
"On two occasions said railroad company was ordered by the County Commissioners of Baltimore county to place a watchman and gates at said crossing, and a report of the engineer of the Public Service Commission, dated November 3, 1913, after an investigation of a similar accident, is as follows:
This evidently is an important road that is much traveled by teams and motor vehicles. Its approaches are dangerous on account of obstacles to view in approaching the tracks from either direction.
To properly safeguard it watchmen or gates will be necessary.
"This is not an isolated case of a train running against the current of traffic; it is a common practice for the railroad company to do this in spite of repeated warnings of its danger.
"We believe the superintendent of said railroad company is guilty of criminal negligence in permitting said train to be run against the current of traffic, well knowing that the signals'provided to warn the public of approaching trains would not operate under such circumstances.
"We therefore petition your honorable body to make a thorough investigation of said accident and said railroad crossing and to indict the official or officials of said railroad company under whose orders said train was operated.
"We take this method of calling your attention to this matter because we understand that the State's Attorney of this county is also counsel for the said railroad company and would necessarily be placed in an embarrassing position in calling this matter to your attention."
The petition was drawn last Sunday by a committee which included Washington Bowie, Jr., Ernest C. Hatch, Capt. James P. Reese, John D. C. Duncan and George A. Black. A copy of it also was sent to judges of the Circuit Court for Baltimore county.
A complete report of the state-mments of witnesses, the train crew and others was submitted to Joseph L. Wickes, traffi engineer of the Public Service Commission.

The boys refused to leave and Fuller, they said, threatened to kill them if they didn't go immediately.
An argument ensued, and Fuller raised his gun and pointed it at Martin when the boy turned to leave. The colored man then pulled the trigger, it is charged.
The charge of shot tore through the muscles of the boy's right arm, laid bare the cheek bone, tore away the upper lip and shot off part of the nose. The lad fell to the ground, screaming and covered with blood.
Fuller threw down the gun and fled, while Marshall Tittsworth, attracted by the screams of his son and those of the injured boy, hastened across the field to give what little first aid he could and arranged to rush the injured lad to the hospital.
Fuller later claimed the shooting was accidental, although both boys maintain he threatened to kill them if they did not leave the Dorsey farm.
'OOPS" ESSAY PRIZE
Amelia Kolk Of Hyde Tops List In Farm Bureau Contest.
(Continued from Page 1)
submitted in the national contest conducted by the American Farm Bureau Federation. The national organization is awarding prize trips to Chicago at the time of the annual meeting of the Farm Bureau, which is held in that city on December 8, 9 and 10. The judges in commenting on the essay written by Miss Kolk said that the farm boys and girls in other counties would have to go some to write a better one and that they felt confident that one of the prize trips to Chicago would come here.
A tremendous enthusiasm has been created not only in Baltimore county but in several hundred counties scattered all over the United States, where similar contests have been run during the past month.
President Charles T. Cockey, Jr., of the BaltimoreCounty Farm Bureau, expresses himself as well pleased with the results of the contest. He says that it has shown that farm boys and girls can write just as good essays as town boys and girls, and that it has created a great deal of interest in the Farm Bureau in this county.
