STATE BOARD WOULD
HAVE Rf-AsSESSMENT
Tax Commission Proposes Reyal-
uation of Real Estate.
OPPOSITION TO THE PLAN.
Would Mean An Increase Of the Tax
Rate for Fiscal Year---To Inyesti-
gate County Home.

The State Tax Commission would
have a re-assessment of real estate in
the several counties of the State, ac-
cording to letter received by the
Board of County Commissioners, and
which was given serious consideration
by the Board at its weekly meeting
Tuesday.
There is considerable opposition to
this proposed reassessment and what
will be the outcome is not known.
Definite plans for the assessment have
not been outlined, but the letter from
the Commission suggests that the
County Commissioners include the sum
of $6, 900 in the forthcoming levy for
the fiscal year to cover the expenses
of it. Roughly estimated this would
mean an increase of about cents in
the tax rate.
Another matter bearing upon the
taxation question was considered at
[ uesday's meeting, the Board having
decided to fix May % as the date for
making the annual levy. This matter
will be brought up as the special order
at that meeting at IL o'clock.
As result of the Grand Jury's com.
ments concerning the alleged bad sani-
tary conditions at the County Home, the
Roard adopted an order, directing the
Trustees of the Home to be present at
the meeting.on May 25oc, to consider
several matters.
The Board directed Engineer Hayman
to proceed with plans for the construc-
tion of the road from Bay Ridge rail-
road tracks to Arulndel-on-the-B Bay.
in accordance with the plan of
the State Roads Commission. The
Board had advertised for bids
for this work. Only one bid was
submitted, that of Frank M. DuvalI.
This bid was regarded as excessive and
was, therefore, rejected.
The contract for the construction Of
State aid road in the Fourth district,
from Stewards corner was awarded to
H. E. Gray at his bid of $7,217.97.
DR.. Walton H. Hopkins, the County
Health Officer was before the board
and reported that satisfactory pro-
gress is being made in the matter of
suppressing the practice of number
of property owners of the outskirts of
the city, particularly at Germantown,
in allowing waste water and other
refuse to drain on the county road.
This matter also will be a subject for
the Federal and State Health inspec-
tors now engaged in the sanitary sur
vev of the county.

ADMIRAL BENSON NOW
CHIEF OF OPERATIONS
Big Navy Advocates ssFOresee AdOp-
ton BY U. S. of Staff System.
MAY BE SUBORDINATED.
Office Of Aide for Operation Held BY
Rear Admiral Bradley.

An important change in the organ
ization of the Navy Department was
put into effect Tuesday, when Capt
VIM. S. Benson. the new Chief of
Operations. was sworn into Office lie
will act as the principal military ad
wiser of the Secretary of the Navy
The belief is general that though
this office may be subordinated in this
Administration. il will result event
ually in the establishment in the navy
of staff system comparable TO the
German and the British Admiralty.
The Chief OF Operations is empow-
cred TO draw up strategic plans and
to effect large degree of co-opera-
tion among the lighting units of the
navy.
At the instance of this Admins
tration the powers of the Chief of
Operations were so circumscribed
as to limit his activities and restrict
his initiative. Despite this fact friends
of a big navy are enthusiastic over
the new Office. believing that it is
partial recognition by Congress of the
wisdom OF the staff system
Secretary Daniels recognized the
importance of the new office by max
ing an imposing ceremony out of the
induction of Captain Benson. The
oath was administered in the Sec
retary's Office with Mr.. Daniels and
all the aides and bureau chiefs in
attendance
Admiral Benson who attains this
rank through service i'm his new of
fee, was accompanied by his newly
appointed staff. consisting of Capt
Volney o. Chase. senior assistant to
The Chief OF Naval Operations; Lieut.
Com Byron McCandlees and Lieut.
Wilson Brown
The pen with which Secretary
Daniels signed Admiral Benson's
commission was presented as a SOU
venir to Mrs. Benson. who attended
the ceremonies.
Admiral Benson entered upon his
new duties yesterday AT the same
time the Office of Aide for Operations
held by Rear-Admiral Bradley A.
Fiske. went out OF existence Rear
Admiral Fiske has been detailed for
duty at the Naval War College, at

REVELL'S TRIAL MAY
Be CLOSED TODAY
Former Sheriff Testifies in His Own
Behalf.
DEFENSE SPRINGS SURPRISE.
Witnesses Who Had Appeared for State
Are Called Many Politicians Of
County, Also Appear.

With practically all of the promi-
nent politicians of Anne Arundel
County in the Baltimore Criminal
Court, Part 2, to testify to the good
character and reputation of the de-
fendant. the trial of Frank S. Revell,
former sheriff of the county and a
member of the Shellfish Commission.
charged with conspiracy to procure
the illegal registation of voters in the
First precinct of the Third election
district of the county, was resumed
yesterday before Judge Bond and
jury. Mr.. Revell testified in his own
behalf today.
The defense sprang surprise at the
opening of their case by calling FIVE
s f the men who are under Indictment,
charged with the same offense, and
who had made written statements to
the states officers duplicating ReveII
and who later made conflicting state
ments to Attorney A. S. j. Owens, of
counsel for Revell. John Carl, one of
the men, admitted that his statement
TO the states officers was true, even
that against Revell. Mr.. MarcEant
cross-examined DR.. George Wells, for
Is years clerk of the court of Anne
Arundel county and the acknowledged
Democratic leader of the county.
DIR. Wells had been called as a char
acter witness for Mr.. Revell and, in
addition, had testified that it was the
established custom of both parties to
employ wagons and automobiles to
take voters to places of registration.
Several of the lesser political lights
had testified that when they received
a message that some men wanted to
register they did not ask whether they
were Democrats or Republicans, but
sent a wagon for them.
When asked what he would do if
some men who wanted to register, DR..
Wells replied: II would want to know
who they were and whether they were
Democrats. would not haul any
Republicans to the polls" The Doc
tor said that he looked to Revell for
the registration and vote in his pre-
cinct.
Another of the Democratic leaders,
DR.. Thomas B. Horton, of Curtis Bay,
could not be stopped when once he was
started. He testified on direct exami-
nation to Mr.. RevelI's good character
and reputation and also as to the meth
DDS employed in getting ou he vo-
ters. On cross-examination Deputy
States Attorney Marchant said: II
believe you live in Mr.. Floods district,
Doctor?"
Flood has no district" replied the
doctor, and he started in to tell of con-
ditions in the county and his connec-
tion with the politics of his district.
Attorney Owens attempted to stop the
witness with objections, but his re-
marks could not be heard above the
doctors voice, and Judge Bond had to
rap several times for order, and eau
tion DIR. Hortons.to confine his answers
to the questions.
Among other witnesses who testified
as to Mr.. Revell's good reputation were
John T. DALEY, secretary to the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee in Bal.
timore city; George T. Melvin, of
Annapolis, and Alton r. Arnold, Harry
j. Hopkins, and Joseph r. Bells.
