FIRST REGIMENT
UNIFORMS.
Maryland House of Delegates Rejects

Maryland House of Delegates Rejects a
Bill to Reimburse Members for Them.
The bill to reimburse members of the
First Maryland Regiment for tho uniforms
which, it is claimed, they were forced to
buy and pay for from the United States
Government during the Spanish War, re-
ceived its death blow in the House.
Gen. f. G. Latrobe was instrumental in
killing the bill and made forcible argu-
ment against it as a waste OF the States
money. He claimed that the soldiers had
really benefited to the extent OF $13 each
by buying the uniforms and had no right
to ask money from the State
He reviewed his former arguments
against the bill and asserted shat the men
had been paid oil that they were entitled
to. He said it was unjust and unfair to
the treasury OF the State to appropriate
SIS, for this purpose.
Mr.. Albert j. Long, Of Washington
county, made plea for the passage Of the
act. He thought it due to them that the
men be paid back the money that was
deducted from their pay. He asserted
that members Of other volunteer regiments
who served in the Spanish American War
were not charged with their uniforms and
stated that the officers Of all the regi-
mania ware furnished with ,xna,s;ya Nm;
forms free Of charge.
Mr.. Best, OF Frederick county, made
the statement that these men of the First
Regiment never smelt powder during the
entire war. Mr.. Long replied that that
was not the question, aud the men were
willing enough if they had been given the
chance. The bill was rejected by vote of
"a to 35.
