ELECTION APPEALS IN
HIGHEST STATE COURT
Cases of Officials Convicted in
Baltimore Argued Today.
ILLEGAL COUNT OF BALLOlS.
Cochran, Wagner, and Smith, Gully
Of Cut in twenty Third

Argument was heard before the
Court Of Appeals today in the now
famous election appeal cases % Bali
timore city.
The appeals in question are those
of Albert A. Cochran, John Wagler
and Reuben D. Smith. election Off
cials for the eighth precinct Of the
Twenty-third ward of Baltimore.
tiled, convicted and sentenced bv the
Criminal Court of Baltimore city for
violation Of the Election Laws In
April. 1919.
Cochran, who was one Of the judges
of election, filed the motion for
bringing the contentious to the Court
of Ap peals, and Wagner and Smith
joined in separate appeals. The spe-
citic count IN the indictment upon
which Cochran was convicted was
that he unlawfully neglected 20 count
certian ballots for the candidates op-
posite whose name a cross mark had
been placed by the voters at the cleo
tion Of last April. As result fake
and wrongful returns were made.
The other election officers in charge
Of the eighth precinct were Charles
B. Schmann, a Judge, and Emil II.
Stehline and John G. North, clerks.
Similar indictments were returned
against all the officials. Schumann
was tried on June IL. and acquitted.
Two days later Wagner was tried and
convicted. Cochran was tried on
June 20. Thereafter Smith was tried
and also convicted.
A motion for change of venue
was made by Cochran, which was re-
fused. Then the traverssr entered a
demurrer TO each count in the indict-
ment, and this, too, was overruled. A
mooon to quash the indictment, for
the reason that person other than the
members of the grand jury were
present when the ballots were after
ward counted, which, il was alleged.
was unlawful, was also denied. Ii
was also contended that the law un-
der which Cochran was indicted had
been repealed.
After all of these motions had been
overruled the trial proceeded, and
Cochran was convicted, whereupon
motion for new trial and arrest of
judgment were asked and these, too.
were overruled by the Supreme
Bench of Baltimore city. On August
2l, the Criminal Court entered judg-
ment, sentencing Cochran TO two
years in the Baltimore city jail. t.
gether with a fine of $500. On the
same day an appeal from that order
was taken.
The case was presented 20 the Court
of Appeals by Nessrs. Harry r.
Wolf and Edward L. Ward, as attor-
reys for the appellant, while the
States side was conducted by Attor-
ney-General Poe. William F. Broening
and Roland R. Marchant, States At
torney, and Assistant States Attor-
ney, respectively, for Baltimore city.
The attorneys for the convicted
officials strongly urged the conten-
tions outlined above to the end that a
reversal Of judgment might be enter
ed without awarding a hew trial in
the proceedings. The State contend
ed that the jury properly found a
verdict Of guilty, and that no on has
suggested thac such verdict was not
justifiable, and that the Courts rul-
ings on the several motions were
equally just and proper.

tuberculosis Day, Oct. 81.

Every one Of the 500 and more anti.
tuberculosis associations allied with
the National Association win be urged
to promote tuberculosis Day on Octo.
Der 27th in the churches OF their re.
spectiye communities. While last
year over $4,000 churches observed
this occasion, 1t is expected this year
that this number will be doubled. Mi.
lions of circulars and other forms Of
literature, will be distributed. The
support Of every religious denomina-
ton will be asked for. That tuberJ
culosis is serious problem among
church congregations Is evidenced ~
statistics which the National Associa.
ton gathered last year, which show
that 10 per cent of all deaths among
church members are caused by trber.

on the mortality statistics Of the Cen
sus Bureau, over $1,000 Of the $4,000.

II Aetnai Financial BENEFIT Cannot

Distinct value.

There Is difference Of opinion
among Burlington business men as to
the value Of so-called booster trips.
Close figuring has convinced a num-
Der that these trips do not pay. That
is, that there Is not suficient new
business developed to make up for the
time and money expended.
And perhaps that may be true. But
there are always things which your
mathematical man Is apt to overlook.
He Is Of the kind who counts the day
wasted that is spent at the fishing
club or on the golf grounds. The
booster trip has value, and much
greater one than is generally appre-
ciated. It enables the members of the
booster party to get acquainted with
some Of the actual OF prospective Gus
toners. It may open the way for
future business. But what is much
more valuable and important, it makes
the members of these parties better
acquainted with each other. And,
then, IL is day, or week, ostensibly
devoted to business, but partly de-
voted to pleasure 1t is a change from
the eternal routine, and few Of your
mathematical men realize how i'm.
portant, how necessary, an occasional
change of this kind is, and how heavy
is the cost that those are called upon
to pay who never indulge themselves
With such aschange Of program.
Even where there are no direct
demonstrable benefits, the booster
trip is of great value, of real benefit,
to all who take part -Burling
