ANNAPOLIS, October 31.—In order to secure a decision on a question of law in connection with the act of 1929 providing for registration of persons coming into the State, the Court of Ap- peals of Maryland took up this morn- ing a case appealed from the Circuit Court for Calvert County, which will be considered a test case of 40 before the court in that county and about 300 ‘which are before the Anne Arundel County court. Test in Fey Case. ‘The appeal is that of the supervisors of election for Calvert County against Hammond J. Fey of North Beach, in that county, a former resident of the District of Columbia, whose right to Maryland registration was before that court. The decision that the act of 1929 was in conflict with the Federal Constitution was rendered Tuesday in the Anne Arundel County court by Chief Judge F. Neal Parke. A decision of like purport was rendered by Judge Loker in the Calvert County court yes- terday in the Fey case, but the order of appeal and record in the case was :«;rwuded to the Court of Appeals at ce. During yesterday, however, every ef- fort was made to prepare the record in the Anne Arundel County case and it is expected to reach the Cour of Ap- Ppeals today. One May Settle All As the same question is involved in both cases, the court is likely to enter a formal order in the Anne Arundel County case after deciding the case from Calvert County. The Fey case is the only one in the assignment for today and it is likely that the court will occupy the whole session in hearing argument in it. ‘The decision may made today, so that appropriate judgments may be rendered in the lower courts before ‘Tuesday, which is the day of election.
