Saturday, March 22, 1924—Page 8 THE JEFFERSONIAN, TOWSON, MARYLAND BOY KILLS MOTHER, DEFENDING HER FROM FATHER, WHEN SHE STEPS BETWEEN THE TWO Russell Gibson, Sixteen, Released Under $2500 Bail At Essex Police Station—Father Charged With Assaulting And Attempting To Kill Wife. When Russell Gibson, 16 years old, tried to save his mother from an attack by his father, he killed her when she stepped between the two. The shooting occurred in the home of Mrs. Gibson's daughter, Mrs. Stro-bel, on the Eastern Avenue Road, near Back River. Young Gibson was released under $2500 bail at the Essex Police Station. At Bay View Hospital the father, James Gibson, is a patient with two bullet wounds in his shoulder, while from the arm of George Strobel, a son-in-law, a bullet was extracted at the same institution. The Gibson lad is alleged to have fired all of them when his father lunged for his mother with an upraised chair. News of the tragedy was flashed over the telephone wires to the Essex Police Station and in a short while Sergt Walters, with Patrolmen Ben-hoff and Hughes, were on the scene. One of the most promising suggestions for peace in Europe is that each nation attend to its own business and stop trying to run its neigh-mors. Linnenkamp, Viennese portrait painter, who has come to America to "paint the fifteen most beautiful women," may find 'em already a good deal painted. ?!?*??>!??!??!?*?!?* IF YOU WANT YOUR "JEFF" To Continue Coming Pay Your SUBSCRIPTION PROMPTLY SLUMBER NEAR END—ACTION IN G. O. P. CAMP EXPECTED TO BE RENEWED. PERRY HALL PROPERTY CHANGES HANDS. Prom a long period of dormancy, Republican leaders expected the State party soon to awake to a stretch of tremendous activity, to run fijom March 1 to the date of adjournment of the national convention at Cleveland. Two factors in the awakening are: Former United States Senator Joseph I. France is due home from Europe about March 1, prepared to take a prominent part in party doings. W. Bladen Lowndes is expected back from Panama a few days later and will co-operate with National Committeeman William P. Jackson in prodding the elephant of the G. O. P. Ranked among the foremost supporters of Senator Hiram W. Johnson for the Presidential nomination, Dr. France said before sailing that on his return he would institute a Statewide campaign for Johnson. One of Johnson's outstanding policies is American withdrawal from European imbroglios, and Dr. France is expected to bring back a large supply of ammunition for that fight. On the return of Mr. Lowndes, he and Jackson will start a series of Philadelphia conferences for the selection of delegates at large to the Cleveland convention, and Wefler will be expected to accept any list they may prepare. This, it is understood, he virtually has promised to do, in order to keep peace in the party family. The election of district delegates will be made strictly local eventss, but even in these, Jackson and Lowndes will have an influential, if not guiding, hand. Mr. Calvin E. Richardson has sold his farm at Perry Hall to a Mr. Free-land, who will occupy it in the very near future. -----------o----------- MEDICINE KILLS LAD Four-Year-Old Child Swallows Tablets Prescribed For Father. (Continued from Page 1) had been taking the tablets as a remedy for cold and neuralgia. Two tablets were prescribed as an adult dose. The mother neglected to remove the bottle from the table. Later she found the bottle in her son's hands. The boy was too ill to tell how many tablets he had swallowed. He took the medicine at noon and he died at 7 o'clock that evening. Funeral services were conducted at at home by the Rev. R. H. Bartlett, pastor of Woodlawn Methodist Episcopal Church. Burial was in Lorraine Cemetery.

It looks as if the reorganization of both the Senate and the House ought to be pulled off under Marquis of Queensbury rules. Was One Of First Students Entered In 1873—William H.

Four years later he became president of the Bonneville Cement Manufacturing Company of Philadelphia, and then he was chosen president of the Coplay Cement Company. In 1911 Mr. Harding became an official of the Whitehall Cement Manufacturing Company. He was president of this organization at the time of his death. In addition he was vice-president of the Interstate Railroad Company and a director of the Corn Exchange National Bank.

The deed from Charles H. Steffey, Incorporated, to George Schissler et al. contained the restriction: 'no building shall be erected on said lots nearer than twenty-five feet to front line of said lots; no house shall be erected on said lots which will cost less than thirty-five hundred dollars; no house to be erected on any lot of less than fifty feet front, etc' " George Schissler and wife subsequently conveyed the property to Lillian Schissler, subject to the restrictions referred to. The owners of said lots after the execution of the last deeds undertook to erect thereon a building more than twenty-five feet from the York Road, but almost to the building line on Register avenue and certainly within twenty-five feet of that avenue. The complainant thereupon filed a bill of complaint in this Court asking that the owners and persons interested in said lot be restrained from constructing, maintaining or continuing any building on said lot within twenty'five feet of Register avenue. To this bill the several defendants demurred the substantial ground of each demurrer being that the complainant had not stated in its bill such a case as entitled it to any relief in a Court of Equity. "Returning to the question stated above I cannot accept the theory that the restriction referred to means that any house erected on the lots in question must not be less than twenty-five feet from Register avenue and also from the York Road. Such a restriction would be so harsh and unreasonable that in the absence of some express language directly call ing attention to it, and thus notifying OPINION RENDERED BY JUDGE OFFUTT IN CASE OF CHARLES H.
