MT. RAINIER TOWN
. CHIEFS TO OPPOSE
RECALL ELECTION
Attorney Quinn Announces
He Will Appeal From
Mandamus Writ.

Announcing that he intended taking
an appeal from the writ of mandamus
Issued by the circuit court yesterday.
authorizing q special election under
that section Of the town charter provid-
Ing for the recall Of any elective officer.
Henry J. Quinn. attorney for the Mt.
Rainier town officials declared today
that his clients were ready to put up
vigorous opposition to the srecial cleo
Lion.
This action will be taken at once,
Mr.. Quinn declared, SO that the court of
q. peals may be apprisrd of the situa-
ton before the mayor and council set
a date for the election.
The decision of Judge Fillmore Beall.
of the circuit court Of Prince George
bounty, Md. yesterday marks the FIRST
case of the kind in the East. His
opinion IL based on section p Of the
town charter, in which is contained the
provision for recall
Trouble Over Petition.
\. The controversy arose when voters
IN the Fourth ward petitionSi the
mayor and common council to hold the
special election. The authorities re-
fused on the ground that the petition

voters who supported Mayor Plant in
his election last May.
Application was made by the petit
TONERS to the circuit court for writ
Of mandamus. In part the opinion
states; a,
did the Legislature intend that the
petition required by section q for 1.-The
removal of councilman must be
y oil NAl 6Sy hn mt
ers required to remove the mayor when
a councilman Is elected by the voters
i of q ward and the mayor by the
voters Of the whole town? Such con-
struction would necessitate petition to
remove q councilman to he signed by
indeed, IN some instances, Dy more
than the number of votes in the ward.
I'm other words, 1t would require
ciai election to determne whether a
councilman should be removed than
would be necessary to elect one at ar
election. 1t would therefore seem that
the purpose of the Legislature. ex-
ton provided by section q is signed by
the voters in the Fourth ward of the
town equal in number to rs per cent OF
the voters for mayor at the last proceed.
the petition Is sufficient, and that the
mayor and common council should ordei
the election asked for. On this view oil
the case the court will grant to the pc.
titioners the writ OF mandamus a.

Recall Not Involved.
Referring to the policy Of the recall
legislation. the court says:
while this section deals with a sub

FRIEND OF DISTRICT
. MAY VOICE PROTEST.
WITH RESIGNATION
Congressman Kahn Threat.
ems to Quit Committee
Headed by Johnson.

AS further evidence of discord in the
ranks OF the House District Committee,
headed by Congressman Ben john
son of Kentucky. another resignation
from the committee seems imminent.
Congressman Kahn Of California
threatens to follow the example of Con-
gresham J. Hampton Moore. who re-
signed two days ago on the plea Of
pressure of other business.
Despite Mr.. Moore's diplomatic res
ignation. It II understood that 1t Is not
too much business but too much
Johnson that caused his withdrawal
from a committee upon which he has
served for many years. Mr.. Moore was
ranking Republican member when hs
asked to be relieved from further serv-
Ice upon tho committee.
When Mr.. Moore quit, Mr.. Kahn be-
came ranking minority member, and
now the California Congressman Il
ready to quit.
Minority Leader Mann succeeded
yesterday afternoon in persuading Mr..
Kahn to defer his resignation, but the
displeased Californian did not promise
to stay Indefinitely. He promised Mr..
Mann to give the matter further con-
sideratton." BE-.
Congressman Moore and Congressman
the District Committee, but, as has
been pointed out by The Times. such
affairs are far from satisfactory to more
than one member of the committees
Chairman Johnson's recent activities In
opposing District improvements carried
In the District appropriation bills. his
attacks upon the school system. and his
general conduct as chairman of the Dis.
frict Committee are said not to have
resulted in complete amity among his
District Committee colleagues.
That Congressman Kahn did not fol-
low the lead of Congressman Moore In
resigning from the committee, Is said
to have been mainly due to the paci-
ficatory efforts of the minority leader
who finally received only a promise that
the California member would think the
matter over again before taking the
step he contemplates.

state fund $2012 in excess of the amount received from that fund. In other words. the three town schools contributed $2012 last year to the SUD-, port of the country schools in Carroll county. This with the $838 received by Carroll from other counties makes $2850 paid by others to the rural schools of this county. After getting the $500 of State Aid given the three schools this year, they will still be getting S1250 less than they paid to the coun- try schools last year. On the scriptural idea of ''an eye for an eye and tooth for tooth, it seems to me the coun- try schools would have no ground for complaint against State Aid, even if no returns were offered for the 172 cents per capita, and, when we reknember that for thisa8 12 cents, eight Months free tuition must be given to Nery high school pupil that the country Ny send, the complaint becomes worse. than fippant.
 That the money taken from the rural schools for State Aid Is fully returned is amply proven by the following facts relative to the Green Forest school. regret very much that l cannot give the statistics of the Berryville schook. but letter to the secretary at Berry vile asking for the facts failed of a reply. l presume they would make a showing equally as good.
 Green Forest was given $350. We enrolled r country pupils in our high school classes. Of the $350, Green Forest, at 8 1-2 cents piece paid S2O.74 leaving $32926 to come from country. The tuition of the IT country pupils at regular rates would have been S346. In other words we would have gotten $16.74 more from the pupils than we did get from the state.
 Last June we gave diplomas to 28 country pupils. These diplomas en- title them to enter the high school this year, and nearly all of them and others intend to do so. We will this year have not less than 30 country high school pupils. Their tuition for eight months would be not less than $7O0. This is what Green Forest proposes to give the country children for the S40G received from the state. Doubtless many state schools will do as we'll or better.
