September 29 (Special). — Nelson Washington, col- ored, was sentenced to three years in the penitentiary yesterday, in the corporation court for feloniously cut- ting Abert Poss and Leonard Ramey. Washington was tried first for the cutting of Poss and the jury gave him two vears in the penitentiary Immediately after the verdict had been given. Washington, through his attorney, A. H.

A motion to set aside the verdict and for a new trial will be made Wednesday by his at- torney. Virginia Brown, a young colored girl, who was with Washington at the ‘time, entered a plea of*guilty to unlawful assault and was sentenced to thirty days in jail and pay costs. She already has served more than that time and was released upon pay- ment of the costs. The cutting took place the night of August 19 last. Poss was the more serious ut of hte two men. The plea of Washington was self-| defense. Washington was represented by At- torney A. H. Collins and the prosecu- tion was conducted by Common- wealth's Attornew W. P. Woolls, and he was assisted by Attorney H. Noel Garner. Improving Streets.

That part | being covered is twenty feet wlide. | When completed this will give a fine roadway all of the way. not only to the Old Dominion Glass Company's plant, but also to the plant of the Bryant Fertilizer Company. | Columbus street from Oronoco styeet to where Columbus street in- tersects with Washington street, a! distance of more than five blocks, is also to be improved with a gravel roadway.

September 29.— Mayor Ainslié fhade a recommenda- tion that the council appropriate $150,000 to bulld free swimming pools in various 'parts of the city, saying that they would prove beneficial in every way, and that they would afford opportunities for swimming that are now denied thousands of persons.

GOV Specia] Dispatch to The Star. SEAT PLEASANT, Md. September 29.—Declaring that the republican platform. adopted Thursday at the state convention in Baltimore was written by persons unfamiliar with | thelr state government or was draft- ed with the idea solely of “catching” votes, Gov. Albert C. Ritchle address- ed an overflow democratic mass meet- ing in Palmer's Hall here last night. This was the ggvernor's first speech of the campalgn in Prjnce Georges | county, and he sald the republicans | apparently have started the cam- paign with the idea of injecting Into it vituperation and abuse of the democratic administration. Particularising as to the republican platform, he referred to the plank which indorsed the building of afstate tubercular hospital for the colored. ,Seen Siins of Igmorance. “As’a matter of fact.” declared the governor, “the democratic adminis- tration of six years ago started to build exactly such an institution and it has been completed within the last week or 50 and will be formally dedi- cated next week. If this does not ow either ignorance on the part of the framers of the republican plat- form or a bold attempt at claptrap politics I am not familiar with these terms. “Another plank in the platform promised the people is a law which tecting coal miners in western Mary- land. As a matter of fact, in 1920, as governor of the state, I named a com- mittee to take this situation under advisement and this committee re- ported a most excellent law which was passed at the 1922 session of the legislature and is now a law of the staté. This is another example of woeful Ignorance or an attempt to de- ceive the voters.” Gov. Ritchie referred at some length to the manner in which the affairs of state had been managed for the past four years and stated that so far as he was concerned he would rely upon this record for the support of the people for a continuance of these pol- icles. : Equal Opportunity. Gov. Ritchie declared that the fundamental object in his judgment of government was to see that every man and woman had an equal oppor- tunity in this life; that the whole framework of our national and state governmental institutions was erect- ed upon this principle. “We are spending a_whole lot of money to take care of juvenile de- linquents,” said the governor. “We want the boys and girls of our state who have gotten a false start or com- mitted Indiscretions to feel that they are not hardened criminals and that the state proposes to give them an- other chance. . “The same can be said of the In- mates of penal institutions for the | adults. We want them to feel that it is not the sole object of the state to punish them, but to rehabilitate their lives and to make of them good cit- izens.” The two principal objects of the administration, said Gov. Ritchie. are to improve the health and educa- tional conditions of the state.’ No man or woman can be a good citizen unless sound physically and mentally, R Rty the present administration took charge $2.000,000 was spent on the public school system of the state, and now the annual expenthures @ré $3,500,000. T do not believe that any good citizen begrudges this money.” he said. “It is an investment. It comes back to us in increased eficiency all along the line. Praises Highway System. { “Maryland has the best state road eystem in the country. Seven hun- dred miles of improved highways have been 'constructed during the past four years. Maryland has built 18 per cent of the prospective state road system, and this percentage is far in excess of that attained by any other state in the Union. “The democratic party is'pledged to bring about reciprocity - between Maryland and the District of Colum- hia in regard to automobile’ licenses. I.told the Washington Chamber of Commerce last winter that this re.cl- procity would be effective so far'as Maryland was concerned, and 'had Congress passed the gasoline bill this very desirable and fair reciprocity would now be in effect. However, the bill was caught in the fillbuster.” The governor referred to the re- machinery. During the past forty years there had been created numer- | ous boards and commissions in charge of varlous functions of the state gov- ernment resulting in much extrava: gance and inefficiency. Today, in- stead of having about eighty of these boards and commissions, the reora! ganization scheme now in effect has reduced the number to about eighteen. Prominent Democrats Present.

An- nan, vice president of the defunct bank, are included. Horner will be tried on one of the other charges Oc- tober 10. Annan's trial will follow that of Horner. The case involved a note transac- tion of $1,100, one for $300, drawn on. F. S. K. Matthews, Emmitsburg, Md. and the other for $200, on Albert Wetzel of Emmitsburg.

At maturity the notes were sent to the Emmitgburg Bagk by the Baltimore Institution for’ collection. Horner collected the money and placed it to the credit of the account of Annan, Horner & Co.. then in process of liquidation.

Judge Urner in handing down a decision said that while there were some irregularities in methods of handling the account there was, no proof that Horner had used 'the money for his personal yse. —_— -|TAX COLLECTOR APPEALS TO RUDOLPH FOR CLERKS Temporary Help Sent Towers, Swamped With Tax Bills ta l Be Made Out. ‘With threé times the number of tax bills to be made out this year than were prepared a year ago, Chat- ham Towers, collector of taxes, today Justice Hoehling of the District |sent an “S.

TANGIER DISPUTE PARLEY S REOPENED Conference Over Irritating, Issue in Europe Resumed in London, By Wireless to The Star and Philadelphia Pub- lie Ledger. Copyright, 1923. LONDON; September 29.—The con- ference on Tangier—another one of the irritating things which is keeping the European pot boiling, but which will pot develop into a real row very | s0on—was resumed in Longlon yesterday. As far as can be ascertained, the ex- pert ‘delegates are just as far apart now as though the three countries in- volved had not been working on the subject for some years. Italy Has Eye on Tangiers. As stated in these dispatches some time ago, Premier Mussolini, flushed with the victory at Corfu and momen- tarily holding the upper hand in Fiume, is turning longing eyes to- ward Tangier. Up to now; however, he has been checkmated by the action of Great Britain in its policy of tell- ing him _it is bad enough to have France, Spain and Great Britain in disagreement without bringing in 1tal whose interest in Tangier is not considered here of great impor- tance. Consequently the London con- ference will proceed without the Italiam delegation. Great Britain {s not taking any in- terest in this maeting, for the reason that it is believed at the forelgn of- fice that it can result in no good, as its coming at this time affords an- other controversy, howuver small. The fact of the matter is that Britain wac pushed into this conference much against her will when she was at- tempting to aveid becoming involved in continental troubles as much as possible. Britain wants Tangier internation- alized, France wants it made a French protectorate, and while Spain osten- #ibly wants full Spanish control it is believed here that she would quickly acquiesce in any compromise that France and Britain might agree to.
