STUBUR [ BAN NEWS, 1929 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, MARCH 16, LEE FORGES WIN FOR STATE CONTROL Speaker Meets Challenge of Foes at Annapolis in 14- Hour Session. BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY. Staft Correspondent of The Star. ANNAPOLIS, Md., March 16.—Open warfare between the political factions of Maryland for supremacy broke out in the House of Delegates soon after con- vening yesterday and continued until Jjust before 3 o'clock this morning. As Toll call after roll call had, with the coalition of the ins nt Demo- crats and the Republicans holding the | was upper hand so far as the vot concerned, the decisions from Speaker E. Brooke Lee of Silver Spring, in the chair, kept his opponents from winning | n | anything except the right to stay session. When the house adjourned at 2:45| o'clock this morning, the back of the coalition was broken. It not only re- sulted in a recommital of the park bill to the city delegation, by a vate of 54 to 43, but the organization, under Brooke Lee's leadership, succeeded in| paving a way for their affairs during| the remainder of the session by the adoption of a rul ate for the next 15 days to 10 8-minutes limit on exp! with a | fon of votes. | Organizations Won Back. | The organization as the early morning | passed on succeeded in bringing back into the fold a number of Democratic county organizations which had be voting against them, an brought back f their gates from Prince G from Howard Cou Baltimore.

Both sides outwardly seem to get en- ryment out of the procedure, but be- ind it all it was a serious matter, and on its results depended the supremacy of the Democratic faction, headed by Gov. Albert C. Ritchie. As a part of | the dilatory tactics, Delegate Michel of | Baltimore, in explaining his vote on a roll call, said that the delay was pre- venting him from taking a trip to| Southern Maryland and he produced a iarge pamphlet of the Southern Mary- land immigration commission, describ- ing the territory, and proceeded to read to the House a description of what he hoped to see.

From an engineering standpoint, how= ever, it was pointed oit by Kinnler, it would be impractical to include these two sections, since they could ‘be drained with the other only by a deep excava- through the crest of the higher land Iying between. In his report Kinnier stated: “I am now of the opinion that it would be unwise to set up the county on account of the fact that certain parts are now badly in need of sewerage and certain areas do not require develop- ment of sewerage systems. “The Lee Heights area is outside of No. 1, but will be taken care of by its own drainage along the line of Windy Run.
