"B-2 % DRIVE T0 POLICE TAVERN 1S OPENED Told Chestertown Council Beer Sales Continued After Man Was Slain. By the Assoclated Press. CHESTERTOWN, Md. July 6— Spurred by an assertion that sale of beer continued while the body of a murdered man lay on the floor of a nearby tavern, the Chestertown City | Council today had undertaken the first step toward county control of these establishments in Kent County. Dean J. S. William Jones, council- man and member of the Washington County faculty, asserted beer sales took place after the fatal stabbing of Kelly C. Terry in a dance hall on the outskirts of the city last Satur- day night “while the body still was lying on the floor.” “The place should have been closed at once,” he said, in bringing the matter before the Council. Dr. Jones unofficially has suggested a petition | be drawn up and signed by the towns- people asking that police control over the place be exercised by the county commissioners. The tavern in which Kelly was stabbed to death during an alter- cation is outside the Chestertown limits and city police do not have jurisdiction there. John Ellis, 21- year-old Chester. Pa.. youth, is sought in connection with the killing. Dr. Jones pointed out the place is close to the Washington College campus.

ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 6.—Ex- cluded from Alexandria public schools for several years because of crowd- ing, non-resident pupils will be ad- mitted for the 1935-36 term, starting in Septamber, Supt. of Schools T. C. Williams announced today. The completion of & new $350,000 high school building by September will afford space for the non-resident students. Tuition fees of $35 a year for elementary grades and $60 for high school will be charged them. The city school board’s move to exclude non-resident students sev- eral years ago provoked a lengthy controversy between the board and City Council. A large number of the pupils were from Fort Belvoir. A financial set-up of approximately $95,000 has been approved for the operation of public schools here for the Fall term. Of the total, $2,500 is expected from non-resident tuitions, Supt. Willlams said. Because attendance here has shown more than a 10 per cent increase during the past year, the State’s al- lotment, based on attendance figures, should be increased from approxi- mately $23,000 to $26,000 for the Fall term, Willlams stated. Supt. Williams reported an attend- ance jump of from 845 per cent to 95 per cent during the past school year.
