FREDERICKSBURG, Va., January 23.--Judge Frederick W. Coleman moved today to obtain official infor- mation as to the mental condition of Edward C. Bell, committed by him to the Southwestern State Hospital at Marion, Va., for examination on De- cember 18 after a local jury was un- able to agree on a verdiet following Bell's trial on a charge of poisoning his wife. Counsel for Bell and medical experts had contended that the 60-year-old Baptist deacon was not responsible for his acts, due to a pronounced case of brain softening. Judge Coleman discharged the jury and ordered Bell placed in the Marion Hospital for a cetermination of his sanity. No time limit was fixed by Judge Coleman in his order of com- mitment for a report to be made on Bell's condition, but today he directed Clerk J. W. Adams in Corporation Court here to communicate with the hospital and ascertain what progress was being made. Should Bell be found sane, he will be returned here to face a second trial. If held insane he will remain at the Marion Hospital. Mrs. Bell, object of tr~ alleged poi- son attempts, remains at her home here and her condition is reported as greatly improved, though she still is under the care of a nurse. FOLGER GIFT PRAISED Kappa Kappa Gamma Sorority Hears James Waldo Fawcett. The example of Henry Clay Folger should be followed by other Americans, James Waldo Fawcett told the Kappa Kappa Gamma Sorority at a meeting at the Iron Gate Inn Monday evening. Development of the Nation's Capital as the cultural center as well as the Federal governmental seat of the United States was forecast by George ‘Washington and Thomas Jefferson, |- the speaker said. “But private philan- thropy can do much toward that end, and the inspiration of Mr. Folger's gift of his wonderful Shakespeare col- lection should prompt other presenta- tions.” WE PLERD GUILTY 0%/ Zkined IDEAS ABOUT [(OMFORT If hospitality is old-fashioned, we fear the Governor Clinton is out-of-date despite its NEWNESS—radios, Servi- dors, circulating ice water and every other convenience of a NEW hotel.

One would provide that the constitution be amended to permit the election of the State treasurer by direct vote of the people, instead | of by joint vote of the Senate and House. The other would make the clerk of the Court of Appeals an ap- pointive rather than an elective of- fice, the appointment being made by the judges of the court. The House received a bill to au- thorize sweepstakes in Maryland. 50 | per cent of the proceeds to go to Baltimore City for relief. Another measure presented in the House seeks to legalize lotteries. A more arastic small-loan bill than that now pending in the Senate was offered to the House. It would re-| duce the interest on such loans from 31, to 1 per cent a month. The| Senate bill reduces the rate to 2 per cent. Other proposals submitted to the | House last night would redistrict Bal timore City to increase its representa tion from 36 to 48 delegates, elimin. ate the State’s two tobacco graders, create a Board of Examiners to license | architects, limit the number of wheels on trucks to 10, and halve the license | fee on garages.
