June 2—A final meethng of the citizens' charter revision committee, appointed under resolution of the town council, was held Monday evening and the Treport | to be made to council was placed in final form. A drafting committee had written up the varfous sections to be amended, as agreed upon at previous meetings, and this was adopted with only one change of major importance. . Amendment Made. The section relating to the fssuing of bonds was amended so that & ma- jority vote, Instead of a two-thirds vote. of freeholders would authorize a bond issue, with the proviso that no election would be valid unless at least 50 per cent of resident freeholders had voted. On this amendment the committeg divided six to four. Those voting in Yhe affirmative were Messrs. Ellison, Shreve, Fredricks, Bethune, Keyser and Cline. Those voting against it were Messrs.

Mayor Fellows has received a letter trom H. G. Shirley, highways, in assurance glven that work on the eighteen-foot concrete road from Halls Hill to East Falls Church will be pushed as rapid- ly as possible. The survey is now being checked up and it is intended to ask for bids at an early day.

Bpecial Dispatch to The Star, BALTIMORE, Md., June 2—Ths more estranged become the Weller and Jackson-Lowndes factions of the state G. O. P. the less likely it ap- pears that Attorney General Arm- strong will be a gubernatorial can- didate. The call which has been heard merely serves, in the estimation of many republicans, to label him as the candidate of Senator Weller, rather than of the party as a whole. Loses Old Friend. Unfortunately, from the republican point of view factional differences in the party have become accentuated Perhaps there is nothing that could more deeply have offended W. Bla- den Lowndes, who, with National Committeeman William P. Jackson, heads the anti-Weller faction, than the appropriation by Weller of for- mer Gov. Goldsborough, once anti- Weller himself. Mr. Lowndes has had little to say about the defection of Goldsborough, but his friends say he feels it deeply. Former Gov. Golds- borough is president of the National Union Bank, and in gaining him this position the influence of Lownd who is vice president of the Fidelity Trust Gompany, and who s power- n financlal circles, B S tane es, is sald to have epresentative John Phill; Hill, mentioned by republicans In the last few days as a candidate for governor, has declared he does not expect to be a candidate, but might change his mind it the other gubernatorial can- didates prove to be dry.

A considerable number of candi- dates already are in sight, although formal announcements thus far have been withheld in a few instances. Among the republicans, with fights on between the leaders in the city as well as In the state, there has been relatively little discussion of fall slates. . _All four of the city’s state senators in the last general assembly are re- ported to want to retain their seats. They are all democrats. There has been no indication yet of organiza. tion opposition except in the case of William I.

His home is in the eleventh ward, which was transferred to the second district by the supervisors Movement for Levin. A movement has been started among the republicans for Harry O. Levin, an_ attorney, for senate. The republicans have a majority in affiliation of about 5.000, In the spring election, however, there was a coalition of white 'voters against two negro councilmanic can- have come fo: 1 with Wil- | didates nominated by the republicans. The negfoes were defeated and the democrats got two of the three coun- cilmen from the district. Benjamin B. Baker, chairman of the delegation in the last house, s expected to be the democratic can didate in the fifth district. He for. merly lived in the thirteenth ward, which is in the fourth district, but his present home is in the north- western end of the fifteenth ward which lies in_the fifth district. Benjamin W. Fox, who represented the old fourth district, was the only hold-over senator. but ‘when new dis- trict lines were drawn in accordance with the increased representation amendment he found himself in the sixth district. Fox regards himself as a hold-over, but the supervisors have asked a ruling from the attor. ney general's office, and it is sald this will be against him. Likely to Get Support. Mr. Fox then can become a candi- date from the sixth district or ap- peal to the senate. Organization men belleve he will be supported if he runs. Robert F. Leach, jr, state's at- torney, is_expected to seek re-elec- tion. Paul Hohannse, police magis- trate, is sald to be after this place, and there has been talk of Leonard Welnberg, who for a time was a spe- clal assistant In the office of the state's attorney, but democrats gen- erally expect Mr. Leach to be given organization backing. John E. Potee, another magistrate, is Teported the most llkely organiza- tion choice for sheriff. Thomas F. McNulty, the incumbent: W. W. Stocktham, former United States mar- shal, and Roy E. Smith, chief parole officer, have announced they are can- didates for the place. Miss. Mary E. W. Risteau of Har- ford county. the only feminine mem- ber of the assembly, wants to be sen- ator, but she will, hardly make any fight for the demiocratic Senatorial nomination from Harford should John L. E. Lee, speaker of the last house of delegates, decide that he wants to run.. Misx Risteau was a member of the last house of delegates, and her ability as a legislator won her many friends. There were not lacking per- sons last year who urged her to at- tempt the transition from the lower branch of the Maryland assembly to the federal house of representatives. But Col. Millard Tydings of Havre de Grace, state senator from Har- ford, was looking toward Washing- ton, and Miss Risteau modestly stood aside. Col. Tvdings' election to the house of representatives means that he must have a successor in the Mary- land senate. FLAG-RAISING. There was a flag-ralsing at Linton Hall, Bristow, Va.
