MARYLAND PROBE MEETS OPPOSITION Legislative Investigation Is Blocked by Floor Leader Wilmer. By a Staft Correspohdent of The Star. ANNAPOLIS, Md, January 24.—| Prompt investigation by a joint grand inquest committee of the Senate and | House of Delegates of the Maryland | General Assembly of the State roads | scandal was successfully blocked, for a time at least, this afternoon when | Republican Floor Leader Joseph Wil-| mer of Charles County voiced opposi- | tion to immediate consideration of the Senate resolution providing for a join- ing of the committecs of bofh houses. The grand inquest committee had reported the Senate resolution provid- ing for a joint committee and had asked for a spension of the rules s that it could be passed immediatel Mr. Wilmer took the floor and ad. dressed the House for nearly an hour. | He charged that the plan of voting in the committee by giving House mem- bers enly one-third vote as against a full vote for Senate members was a surrender by the House of Delegates of the rights of its members as repre- sentatives of the people of Maryland. He bitterly attacked the Senate mem- bership of the committee, pointing out that only one of the five members was a Republican. Mr., Wilmer said that human nature would prevent a full and complete in- vestigation of the State road scandal under this make-up." He charged that there could not be any real investiga- tion. He said the Democrats back home. more than the Republicans, who are doing a little chuckling, are n.\k-‘ ing what their body doing to in- vestigate the State roads secandal. Delegate Dan C. Joseph of Baltimore City, insurgent leader. at this time came to the defense of the admi forces and asked for support for the ! motion to suspend the rules so that the investigation may be gotten under way promptly. Assurances that any one found guilty of violation of the law during the legis- lative investigation would be promptly put in jail were given by James J. Lindsay, minority floor leader, Baltimore County. Later in the debate Speaker Lee found it necessary to call Delegate Wil- mer to order for criticizing a member of the Senate when he charged that a member of the Senate committee was himself interested contracts. Delegate Michel of Baltimore City told Mr. Wilmer that he was blocking the investigation because of his fear that some members of his own party would be caught in the legislative in- vestigating net. Before ‘the final vote was taken, Speaker Lee explained that he had ap- pointed on the grand inquest commit- tee Republicans in larger proportion than that which the people of Mary- land thought fit to send to the House of Delegates. He told the House that at any time he became satisfied that the investigation was not being con- ducted thoroughly he would entertain from the floor and would vote for a motion for the House to separate from the Senate and conduct its own ‘inves- tigation. The motion to suspend the rules was lost by 69 to 26, which did not give administration forces the requisite two- thirds vote to suspend the rules re- quired by the State constitution. The resolution will now have to lay over until Monday night. SMITH’S FRIE.NDS LOSE BATTLE FOR LAW BILL By the Associated Press. ALBANY, N. Y. January 24—Any hopes held by friends of former Gov.

Freeze, crashed into a telephone pole on the Rockville-Norbeck pike. She was treated by Dr. B. W. John, Rock- ville, and was later removed to the Methodist Home.

Two other women in the Freeze car escaped injury, as did the driver.

Eacho, chair- | man of the roads committee of the Ar- lington District Council of Citizens' As- | sociations, |,, “Supervisor B. M.
