By a Staf® Corresmondent of The Star. | ROCKVILLE, Md, August 4—An injunction against tne commissioners jand treasurer of Montgomery County and the Muryland Publishing Co., on a | taxpayers' petition was refused today | by Judge Fwbert B. Peter in Circuit | Court upon filing ‘of an amended an- | swer by the defendants embodying the statement that all debts owing the the county, | incurred while four of the commission- | ers held stock in the concern, have been canceled. Wednesday the defendants made | formal answer to the injunction pro- ceedings, stating that the commission- | ers had disposed of their stock in the Maryland Publishing Co., and the hear- | ing was continued until today. | This disposition of stock, considered by the plaintiff as an admission that the commissioners considered _their dealings with the Maryland Publishing Co. illegal, led to & written demand on the commissioners as individuals for the return of approximately $25.000 alleged to have been paid the publish- ing company since 1927 for county ad- vertising and printing. The letter signed by the plaintiff in the petition for an injunction was due to reach the com- missioners today. Injunction Sought. The bill of complaint, filed July 7, by attorneys for Walter W. Mobley of Derwood, Md., sought to enjoin the commissioners ‘and treasurer from let- ting contracts for county advertising or printing to the Maryland Publishing Co. and from paying any debts already owing the company on such contracts. The basis for the complaint, as set out in the action, was a provision of the Code of General Public Laws of the State of Maryland, which makes it an illegal ard indictable offense for county commissioners to contract with any concern in which they have a financial interest that would permit the contract to react to their personal profit. Commissioners Owned Stock. ‘The answer filed Wednesday admitted that when the proceedings were insti- tuted Commissioners Benjamin C. Perry, Lacy Shaw and Clagett C. Hilton were stockholders and directors of the Mary- land Publishing Co., and that Commis- sioner Robert L. Hickerson owned stock in_the concern. The three directors resigned, and all four commissioners holding stock re- turned their certificates to the com- pany July 16, the answer stated. Attorneys Vivian Simpson, John E. Oxley and Harold C. Smith, represent- ing the plaintiff, argued before Judge Peter that some formal assurance also | should be given that no future attempt | would be made by the Maryland Pub- lishing Co. to collect debts incurred by the commissioners while they were stockholders in the company. Debts Concelled. In reply P. H. Marshall, attorney for the Maryland Publishing Co., orally stated to the court that all such debts had been cancelled. The defense at- torneys said they would be content if this statement were embodied in the formal answer and the judge ordered that this be done. ‘This morning he overruled the plea for an injunction on the grounds that all objectionable conditions complained of had ceased to exist since the filing of the petition.

CUMBERLAND, Md., August 4.—The forest fires in this territory are increas- ing, with calls for additional volunteers. About Frostburg 50 men were pressed into service in the Lonaconing territory yesterday and the same number were summoned from Westernport. Over 600 have been fighting the Dans Moun- tain fire. Dans Mountain has always been thickly g:pullud by snakes where many dens ve been uncovered and fire fighters hesitate because of fear of snakes which are being burned alive and which jump toward the fighters in their desperation. They are seen leaping high in the air as the flames progress. The fire has spread out to the farms near Westernport and McCoole making a line about 18 miles long. Over 18,000 acres have already been burned over and the destruction of rabbits, squirrels and foxes has been complete as has been birds, the young being burned in their nests. District Forester H. C. Buckingham is in charge of the fighters. State police are kept busy summoning men. . Wills Mountain, in sight of Cumber- land, is also on fire, the flames having crept dangerously near Wills Mountain Inn, a Summer resort. A large force is fllhtll!\f this fire under the direc- tion of Fire Warden A. M. Lowery of Mount Savage. Sera for the cures of bites of poison- ous serpents are now prepared on a large scale from the venom of the snakes themselves.
