THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., -TUGESDAY, RITCHIE DEFENSE | oo now vuro cmumess 1S MADE BY LEE Speaker Denies Governor and Mackall Received Roads Fund Gifts. BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY, Staft Correspondent of The Star. STATEHOUSE, Annapolis, Md., Jan- uary 29.—After being subjected to a | barrage of verbal fireworks in the House | of Delegates in a bitter partisan de- bate, during which at one time there was a threat to use the manly art were | it not for remarks made under legis- lative immunity, the grand inquest com- \ mittee, which has been kicked around | by insurgents and Republicans for | nearly four weeks, finally got its au- thority to proceed. Shortly after mid- night it settled on a tentative form of procedure, after electing Senator S. Scott Beck, Democrat, of Chestertown, Kent County, as chairman and Francis P. Curtis, Democrat, of the second leg- islative district of Baltimore City, as vice chairman. During the debate on the House floor over the Coburn resolution calling for information as to the amount of State Toads money used at public celebrations | and the authority for the expenditure, the author of the resolution, Frederick L. Coburn of Harford County, intimated that Gov. Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland had received a silver bowl costing $2,000, paid for out of State funds, and that John N. Mackall, former chairman of the State Roads Commission, had re- ceived a silver service costing $5,700, paid from the same source. The impu- tations were flatly denied on the floor by Speaker E. Brooke Lee of Silver Spring, administration spokesman. The governor later denied that he had re- ceived any gifts. Mitchell Offers to Quit. Senator Walter J. Mitchell of La Plata, Charles County, majority floor leader in the upper house, sought to resign as & member of the committee, | because of imputations in the House last Thursday by Republican Floor | Leader Joseph A. Wilmer of Faulkner, | Charles County, that the Senator hiid‘l been directly interested in road-exten- ! sion contracts, which the House member | asserted would preclude a fair investi- | gation. He suggested that Semator Wii- liam A. Gunter, Republican, of Cumber-~ land, Allegany County, be selected to serve on the committee, but the latter refused. The debate in the House was pre- cipitated when it took up the report of the grand inquest committee on the Coburn resolution. The resolution was amended 8o that instead of the gov- ernor being directed to make the report, the State Roads Commission would be | required to do it, and instead of having | ths commission report to the House, it | would report to the investigating com- mittee. Coburn said that the only object of his original resolution was to have the governor tell the House of Delegates, to which he is directly responsible, about the funds, He insisted that the only place to get the information was from the governor, and added that while he held no brief for any of those who had been convicted in connection with the peculations, if there was any one else higher up, the Governor of Maryland or any one else, if any cf them diverted funds intended for the construction of roads they were just as liable under the law as thase who had been already con- victed. If the governor has nothing to hide, he continued, why doesn’t he an- swer, so that the people of Maryland would know all the facts. He saldithat the governor had given out a stal nt, following his previous remarks int the House, in which he said that it was no secret as to the amount of money. expended at the public cele- brations. Ccburn conceded this, but he said it was the purpose of his resolution to find out by whose authority the money was expended, and for- the de- tails of the expenditures. Lee Defends Governor. Delegate Daniel C. Joseph of Balti- more, leader of the Democratic insur- gent bloc in the lower house, said that if the governor could have the right of appearing on the House floor he would | ask the passage of the resolution in its original form. Speaker Lee said that the committee amendments were unanimous, and he| thought that Delegate Coburn was going, | very far by making th» governor of | Maryland a2 messenger to bring informa- tion from the State Roads Commission ; to the House. The commission not| only had the figures which he sought, | he continued, but also has the authority | to give them to the House. He charged | that Cobumn, under legislative immunity, | had brought on the floor of the House | a Republican newspaper, and read the | charges of receipts of gifts by the| officials. | Speaker Lee said that he had con-| ferred with the governor about the| matter, and he wanted the House in-| formed that the governor had never received any silver or any gift of any kind in connection with the opening of the Crain Highway. He said that the governor informed him that several days before the celebration, he had been informed that gifts of jewelry had been planned, and he directed that that part| of the program be killed, and it was. ‘The governor also was represented by the speaker as saying that he did not know of any gifts, or jewelry being given on that or any other occasion, until after the delegate from Harford County had introduced his resolution. Continuing, Speaker Lee said that he would violate his duty both as a dele- gate and as a man if he did not tell the truth to counteract the underhanded tactics of ‘the gentleman from Harford County. Republican Floor Leader Wilmer then launched into a long verbal at- tack on the proposal to joint with the Benate committee in the investigation, saying that under the Maryland Con- stitution the House of Delegates was delegated solely as the grand inquest of the State. He said that the House was surrendering its prerogatives, and once surrendered, they would never be returned, and cited the case of the sighteenth amendment to the Federal Constitution, which, he said, was ap- proved at first as as experiment. Attacks Lee's Charges. Coburn, when his name was reached nn‘ dme roll call, answering the Speaker, said: | “I have been called everything but ® | eoward. If the gentleman from Mont- gomery had called me that any placp‘ else but here, he would probaly find | that I am big as he is. I appeal to | the House membership to say whether | I am unfair. You heard the Speaker | stand on this floor and call me a cur | and a coward. You have never heard me, in any debate, use such language 8s_that.” | He sald that he didn't believe that any member of the House of the people of Maryland believe that the real facts will be brought out by the resolution as amended. Delegate Robert R. Lawder of Har- ford County, sought to take up the fight for his colleague, but was rappcd down | by Milton Tolle, Democrat, of Balti- more County, who was occupying the chair. The report was adopted 82 to 22. Senator Mitchell, rising to a question of personal privilege in the Senate, said that it was of vital interest that he ex-! plain his connection with the building +of roads in Charles County. He said that he had never bid on any road con- tracts, nor had he helped in securing any road contracts for any one. He said that his only interest had been in financing H. S. Swann, a Charles County contractor, when he néeded money to finish work. Up until two years ago he sald that Mr. Swann was the roads con- tractor operating in Southern Maryland since the administration of Gov. Austin L._Crothers. When he asked President David G. McIntosh of the Senate to relieve him, and appoint a Republican Senator, there was a storm of protests from other democratic Senators, but Senator Mitch- ell was insistent. Beck Named Chairman. After the sessions of the two houses, the first meeting of the joint grand in- quest committee was called, and on mo- tion of Speaker Lee, Senator Beck was |named chairman and Delegate Curtis vice chairman. Senator Harry O. Levin, Republican, of Baltimore, was named secretary, and Delegate Fendall Mar- bury of the second legislative district of Baltimore was named vice secretary. Speaker Lee also moved that a com- mitiee consisiing of Mr. Marbury and Walter E. Beuchelt, Delegate from the fifth Baltimore City district, and secre- tary to the Republican mayor of the Monumental City, and Senators Levin and Beck be appointed a special com- mittee to represent the grand inquest committee at the hearings being con- ducted into the State roads scandal, which bpegin this afternoon in Balti- more by the gove.rnnr's special commis- sion, headed by John J. Nelligan. Senator Levin said that he did not want $0 go there as a figurehead, and sought to get the committee information as to just what_his powers would be. i T “mn"t'm ¥ ine erand o 2 Tepr g in- quest would have the full powers of fion and tould participate In the nees- n an . - {ng "-o Lheltullesu:xup;t. o ormal mof was passed giving them full powers to attend and to parti- cipate in the taking of the testimony.

Watch your child and at the first sign of constipation give her a little California Fig Syrup. Chil- dren love its rich, fruity taste and it quickly drives away those dis- tressing ailments, such as head- laches, bad breath, coated tongue, tbiliousness, feverishness, fretiul- iness, etc. It gives them a hearty appetite, regulates their stomachy and bowels and gives tone and strength to these organs so they continue to act normally of their own accord. For over fifty years leading physicians have prescribed it for half-sick, bilious, consti- Pnted children. More than 4 mil- fon bottles used a year shows how mothers depend on it. Mrs. L. P. Hines, 1256 Florida {Ave. N.E, says: “My daughter, Alice, is a prize winner for health, now, but we had a lot of trouble with her before we found her trouble was constipation and be- gan giving her California Fig Syrup. It fixed her up quick, gave her a_good appetite, made her sleep-fine and she’s been gaining in weight right along since the first few days taking it.” To avoid_ inferior imitations of California Fig Syrup, always look for the word “California” on the carton. | Work on the overhead bridge to be WORK ON VIADUGT WILL START S0ON Warm Weather Awaited to| Begin Construction at Hyattsville Crossing.

Whenever the desire for a sweet tempts me, I light Lucky Strike.. It’s remarkable how nicely the toasted flavor of Luckies satisfies me. Toasting has taken out all impurities—all that is left is the thrilling Lucky aroma. I certainly am lucky to be ‘The Lucky Girl.’” RosALIE ADELE NELSON TH'E modern common sense way—reach for a Lucky in- stead of a fattening sweet. Thousands are doing it—men keep healthy and fit, women retain a trim figure. Lucky Strike, the finest tobaccos, skilfully blended, then toasted to develop a flavor which is a delightful alternative for that craving for fattening sweets. Toasting frees Lucky Strike from impurities. 20,679 phy- sicians recognize this when they say Luckies are less irritate ing than other cigarettes. Athletes,who must keep fit, testify that Luckies steady their nerves and do not harm their physi- cal condition. That's why Luckies have always been the favorite of those men who want to keep in tip-top shape and realize the danger of overweight. That's why folks says “I’s good to smoke Luckies.” A reasonable proportion of sugarin the diet is recommended, but the authorities are overwhelming that too many fatten. ing sweets are harmful and that too many such are eaten by the American people. So, for moderation’s sake we sayz— “REACH FOR A LUCKY INSTEAD OF A SWEET.” “It’s toasted” No Throat Irritation-No Cough. Coast to coast radio hook-up every Saturday th the National network.
