It was one cof the most bitter debates of the present session, the House spending nearly three hours in the consideration of the meas- ure, on a favorable report from the committee on hygiene, The report was finally adopted by & vole of o7 w 45, Lee Offers Amendments. The bill then became open to-amend- | ment from the floor, when Speaker E. Brooke Lee of Silver Spring left the| yostrum and from his position with the | Montgomery delegation offered two | amendments which specifically confined | the purpose of the measure to the al- | lowance of the payment of a fee and holding the practitioners fully respon- sible under the medical laws of Mary- | land for treatments of persons under the age of 21 years. Speaker Lee said he was not disposed to prolong the debate and would not discuss his amendments if the propo- .nents of the measure were willing to accept them. He said his amendments merely put into the bill what the pro- | ponents indicated was the purpose. of{ the bill, but he wanted the proposed law clarified to that extent. The amendments were accepted - without debate. ‘The measure now has to go through a third reading before final passage. Since its introduction in the House, the halls of the Capitol have been crowded daily by scores of followers of the faith, and each day special busses brought large numbers. When the bill was up for hearing by the committee on hy- giene, it was necessary for the commit- tee to seek permission to use the House chamber in order to accommodate the crowds. During the debate yesterday the galleries were packed. Although he said he had presented the favorable report and had concurred in it merely for the purpose of putting | the bill before the House for action, Frank C. Purdum of the third Balti- more district, chairman of the hygiene committee, expressed the hope that the measure would not become a law.

It is planned to permit no ve- hicular traffic on the road. If the board of county supervisors fails to provide $17.000 requested in a tentative school board budget for the coming year it may result in either cuts in “salaries for the teachers or shortening of the school term, the su- pervisors were told today by Fletcher Kemp, superintendent of schools.

When told of the $17,000 addition, Supervisor B. M. Hedrick made a motion that it be re- turned to the school board for revision to bring it within the present levy. The motion was not acted upon. Both Hedrick and Chairman Edward Duncan said they were averse to raising the present levy for schools. Kemp was questioned closely as to the increase and levy required to raise the additional fund and stated that he was not in a position at the present time to furnish this information, but that he believed & 10-cent increase would yield about $26,000. Following the discussion, De Lash- mutt said that the school board in sub- mitting _its budget had passed the responsibility for action to the super- visors. To this Hedrick and Duncan immediately disagreed, stating that the responsibility lies with the school board, in that it is supposed to operate under the funds provided, and that any changes from lack of appropriation would have to be undertaken by it. The matter was allowed to pass over for further consideration by both boards. STOLEN AUTO RECOVERED BEFORE THEFT REPORTED Police Retrieve Car After Pursued Speeders Jump From Machine and Flee.
