By a Staft Correspondent of The Star. UPPER MARLBORO, Md., May 16.— Melvin Palmer, 20 years old, of Seat Pleasant, was held in the county jail last night on a charge of investigation after having been quizzed all day by Detective Joseph Daugherty and County E’&lgzemn P‘nn‘k Prince in connection a serles of su ?ol:d.ly incendiary fires at Seat Plemg 3 Four other yfln{' men, ht to Marlboro yesterday by Prince and Con- stable William Boone, were released aft- er several hours' questioning. ‘The $150,000 fire which swept the store of F. L. Watkins two weeks ago and two other fires in vacant houses about the same time caused residents of Seat Pleasant to fear a firebug and resulted in the Bfate fire marshal’s om;e assigning Daugherty to investi- gate. The group questioned yesterday came to Marlboro answer to summonses and were confronted with a milk wagon driver, who told police a. young man had attempted to stop his efforts to enlnf:iah fire in a Btor Licensed to Wed at Marlboro.

Small Northeastern Area Re- tards Growth of Others, He Asserts. Transfer of the balance of political power to the South through the split- ting up of Texas into five States was foreseen as a possibility by Representa- tive Garner of that State, the Demo- | cratic leader in the House, in a state- | ment prepared for insertion in the | Congressional Record. Making five States out of Texas was provided for | when' it was made part of the Union, | Mr. Garner indicated. . Hitherto, Mr. Garner said, political prerogative has rested with “a group of small Northeastern States,” but this | shift, he predicts, would obtain political power and prestige for the Bouth and | Southwest, in his opinion. The division, he said, would increase Southern representation in the Senate | by eight members and would add eight | electoral votes to the existing 20 for ‘Texas. . Pointing out that Texas had an area sufficient to equal 220 States the size of Rhode Island, Garner said with its area of 265398 square miles, it was about 70 per cent larger than the sec- ond largest State—California—and that 1t was approximately four times greater than the combined areas of New Eng- land States. With its population of about 5,600,000, it ranks fifth among the States. he added. “The North Atlantic area, by reason of the fact that it is divided into a group of small States,” the Texan said, “has year after year held the balance of power in the Senate and has been enabled to direct national legislation along channels most favorable to their REPRESENTATIVE GARNER. sectional interests. Such progress as the South and West has made has been due to their almost unlimited natural Tesouroes. “It cannot be denled that their eco- nomic and industrial advancement has been retarded by the sectionalism of the Northeastern group and the con- trol which this group has for years ex- ercised over the political policies of the Nation.” Garner pointed to the political pow- er “wielded by New England and Penn- sylvania” in the Hawley-Smoot and the Fordney-McCumber tariff bills, which, he -said, could have been modified in favor of the South if the Democrats had had eight additional votes in the Senate. “In the Hawley-Smoot bill practically every industry of the North Atlantic area has been granted special privilege to exploit Southern and West- e‘n‘ld producers of raw materials,” he said. > ‘The results of the recent tariff con- test of the Democratic - Progressive coalition in the Senate to establish “parity between agriculture and indus- COUNTY D L TOURMADE TODAY Motor Caravan Starts From Lafayette Square to End at Manor Club.
