GRANDON GIRL FREE ASTAR CASES END October 27 Fixed by Court for Deciding Fate of 19 Myersville Citizens. Byt ed Press. FREDERICK, Md. October 18.— The fate of nineteen citizens of Myersville—eighteen men and one woman—is in the hands of Chief Judge Hammond Urner and Associate Jugze Robert B. Peter, the tar and feather cases, growing out of an at- tack made last July upon Miss Dor- othy Grandon, having concluded in circuit court last night. Dorothy Grandon, victim of the mob, who has been held as a State witness since the attack, was re- leased from jail last night and es- corted to a train by the sheriff. She left for Martinsburg, W. Va., where her parents reside. Testimony in the 19 tar and feather cases was concluded last evening. After hearing arguments the court sald that decisions would be rendered in all the cases on October 27. These will include penalties to be imposed upon the 14 persons who pleaded guilty to riot in connection with the tar party; upon Mrs. Mary Shank, who admitted applying the coat of tar and feathers to Miss Grandon, and sentences upon Harry Leatherman and Arthur Rice, convicted by a jury of aiding and abetting in the affair. Verdicts will also be announced by the court at that time in the cases of the five persons who pleaded mnot guilty to riot. Roscoe Doub, a twen- tieth defendant, has not been appre- hended and is reported to have fled the State. Defense counsel made brief state- ments to the court, asking mitigation of punishment for the guilty and ac- quittal for those who pleaded not aracter Evidence Overruled. Once, attacking. the character of Miss Grandon, the denfense attorneys offered to call witnesses to testify re- garding her actions, and claimed this should be considered in passing sen- tence upon the defendants, but Judge Urner interrupted to say: “There are lawful methods for deal- ing with such conditions.” Evidence of this nature was ruled out during the trials. When the attorneys had completed their statement, Judge Urner said that “all the consideration the court can give under the law, with due re- gard to its sense of duty, will be given the defendants.” Judge Urner -announced that it ‘would take some time for the court to arrive at decisions in all the cases, inasmuch as all the evidence is to be considered simultaneously, and this must be typed by the court stenogra- pher. - Six years in prison is said to be the most severe sentence ever passed in Maryland for rioting. 1. 0. 0.

MACDONALD’S REPUTATION MADE WHATEVER ELECTION’S RESULT Honesty of Labor Premier and His Conservatism in Material Things Leaves Radicalism Bugaboo Only Gabble BY FRANK M. SIMONDS, Whatever may be the result of the | general elections in Great Britain, there is no mistaking the luck of the first Labor prime minister in the circumstances of his taking off and in the moment at which his enemies| have chosen to pitch him out. After a Summer of success in the field of for- efgn affairs hardly paralleled in re- cent British history, with the Dawes report accepted, the Geneva session successfully over and Franco-British < in the most pleasant situation five vears, he has suddenly been presented with an opportunity to go before the country when his record strongest and over an utterly trivial incident. 1f, as a consequence of the election, Labor loses the wholly debatable ad- vantage of governing with a minority in the House of Commons, it will have left behind it ultimate proof that there is no menace to the safety of the empire or the order of the King- dom in a Labor government, while the incoming cabinet will be faced with problems of grave magnitude at home and abroad. India, Egypt and Ireland at the moment are matters of gravest concern, while all the domes- tic problems incident to unemploy- ment and depression await solution. Seem Liberal Suicide. In all probability Labor will in- crease its membership at the expense of the Liberal party and so will the Tories. That the Liberals have com- mitted suicide owing to the inability of Lloyd George to wait and his nat-f ural, but dangerous impatience at perceiving MacDonald play in the eyes of the world, and play on the whole more acceptably that role he long oc- cupied, is the belief of not a few shrewd British observers. Moreover, the point is worth mak- ing that in falling MacDonald has fallen on precisely that issue which will consolidate his party by bringing back the more radical elements. The truth is that in all material things the Labor, premier has been conserva- tive to a degree, but on an immate- rial issue in which his tenderness for a radical is suspected of having a de- cisive influence he falls, It is a matter of common agree- ment that no element in the British community desired a new election and that there is more than a possi- bility that those responsible may be held to account. And responsibility in this case will be fixed upon the | Liberals, upon Mr. Asquith and Lloyd George, but particularly upon the lat- ter. Three May Fall, Meantime- the fall of MacDonald may have a very important repercus- sion in France; it may even lead to the fall of Herriot, while it leaves all of the recent Geneva agreements up in the air. It may even lead to a reaction in Germany, particularly if Herriot goes and a' new French pre- mier much more conservative and na- tionalistic ‘takes his place. Not one cabinet, but three—British, French and German—may go down because the Liberals could not wait, and the resulting mess will not be a cheerful thing for any new: Tory ministry to face, puucu{lrly as the Tory . party itself is without competent leader- ship at the moment. Although Stanley Baldwin was re- turned to power after his ghastly blunder, which prefipitated the last general election, 'his_situation is far from re-established. Winston Church- i1l has come back to the Tory party plainly resolved 'to make a fight for leadership; Sir Robert Horne, who staged the recent attack in tbe house, of Politicians. |is a possible suceessor, and there are other men in the background, but this condition makes for party strife rather than for co-operation and effi- ciency on the Tory side. Many experienced observers believe | that after election there will still be an absence of any majority party and either the Labor or the Tory party will have to take power with the tacit consent of the Liberals and conceivably in coalition with all or with a faction of the Tdberal party. But the weakness of the Lib- erals is two-fold, it has a declining membership and a surprising -num- ber of the best parliamentarians in the country, who can hardly be ab- sorbed without substantial ‘recogmi- tion. Between the Tories and the Liberals and between Labor and the Liberals, there exists, too, a bitter- ness which by no means exists be- tween Tory and Laborite, while Lioyd George is equally hated in both Labor and Tory camps. ° More Fear Than Rejoleing. When all is said and dome the present crisis is a politicians’ affair not the result of any definite and deep seated popular movement. Labor has not excited a popular resentment which makes its sudden defeat cer- tain to bo followed by popular ap- proval. On the contrary up to the last moment it was plain that the politicians very much feared taking the decisive step. and now that it is taken they are rather fearful than rejoicing. Nine months in power have won for MacDonald a continuing place not alone in British history, but in the history of the post war period. He has displayed in foreign affairs patience, skill, understanding. He has made a certain number of blunders, but he has escaped from evil consequences of the blunders. by the very general beliet in his good faith and honesty. He is the first post-war premier to escape with any- thing like a whole skin or an assured reputation. He is.the only consider- able national leader who has come since the war and unlike ‘the men who survived from war to peace times, unlike - Clemenceau, Lloyd George and Poincare, he has not stayed long enough to see his earlier reputation diminish. And if MacDonald’s immediate re. turn to power is problematical it is very far from unlikely, while an eventual return is now well nigh assured. After his tenure of office most of the old panic agitation against labor in power becomes mere politicians’ gabble. Indeed, Ramsay MacDonald's success for his party has been at least as great as his personal triumph, which is enduring. (Copyright, 1924, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
