McGRAW ACCUSED IN BANK FAILURE
Indicted BY Grand Jury On Three
Separate Counts.

At Grafton, W. Va, on last Friday
after four-day probe of the Grafton
Bank case the grand jury made its re-
port. Two OF the leading officials of
the bank were indicted.
The prosecuting attorney was assist
ed in the investigation by ex-Congress-
man S. B. Avis, who was sent by the
State legal department.
Col. John T. McGraw, Democratic
National Committeeman and one of the
organizers and stockholder of the
bank, was indicted on felony charge
of three counts. 1t is charged that he
aided Charles R. Durbin, the president,
to commit felonies. Mr.. Durbin was
indicted on three separate charges of
ENLIGHTENMENT on 35 counts.
Immediately after the jury had read
its report Colonel McGraw appeared
in court and entered a plea of not
guilty. The charges were not read to
him, as he stated that he had read the
idictments PERSONALITY and was ia
miliar with the charges. He filed bond
of S., 900 for his appearance in court
for hearing on January II.
The Grafton Bank suspended pay
ment a year ago. The management
announced that the bank was over
loaned but said it was solvent. Col.
McGraw owned majority of the stock
and he, his associates and various con-
nections were named as the heaviest
borrowers from the bank.
After the suspension Colonel Nc
Graw stated that the bank was entirely
solvent and would reopen and reorgan-
ize in a few weeks. When it failed to
do so, C. D. Hiatt was appointed re-
ceiver and is still engaged in settling
up the bank affairs.
The bank had deposits of $500, 900,
mostly small accounts, a number of
which were paid personally by Col.
McGraw. HIS own liabilities to the
bank have not been met as yet, now
ever, although it is stated that he has
about closed deal which will enable
him to take over the bank and pay all
the debts himself.

PROHIBITION MEASURE
INTRODUCED TUESDAY
BY SENATOR SPE|CHER
Saturday at Annapolis Capt. Hayden
Fell and Was Painfully Hurt.

STATE House, ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 49,
With the appointment of the House
COMMITTEES yesterday and the swearing
in of the legislative employees for the
session, the General Assembly for 1916
got down to business, and by the end of
the week the mill will be grinding out
new laws, and measures amending old
ones, to its usual capacity.
To Senator Speicher, of Garrett
county, was given the distinction of in
Producing the Statewide Prohibition
Bill of yesterdays session of the Senate.
1t was expected that this honor would
be conferred upon a member of the
majority party, and therefore, the selec-
ton of a Republican came as a sur
prise. Around this bill in both the Sen
ate and House, the bitterest fight of
the session is expected to be waged and
the prominence attending the Garrett
Senator reflects the confidence Rev. DR..
Thomas NJ Hare, superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon League. which organiza-
ton is behind the BILL and others, have
in Senator Speicher's loyalty to the
cause and his ability of pushing the
measure through.
The same can be said of Prof. Arthur
F. Smith, of the AlleganY county dele
cation into whose hands the Statewide
Prohibition Bill was entrusted in the
House. He is likewise a Republican,
and gentleman of fine ability as well
as of unquestioned loyalty to the dry
cause.
The Prohibition bill is not a constitu-
tional amendment, but provides for a
statewide referendum on the subject
of whether the sale manufacture for
sale or transportation for sale" of all
Intoxicating drinks for beverage pur-
poses" shall be made illegal in the
State. This referendum, according to
the provisions of the bill must be held
at the general election in the State
next November, and if the verdict is
for prohibition. the law is to go into
effect on May l, 1918.
Under the provisions of the bill. il
approved by the voters. it would be I'M
lawful to manufacture for sale, sell,
purchase for sale or dispense any form
of liquid for beverage purposes that
would produce intoxication, except
where such liquid is to be used for
medicinal, pharmaceutical, scientific,
sacramento or mechanical purposes.
1t is provided that if the referen.
dun is against prohibition the laws or
the subject of liquor selling now in
force would continue just as they are,
including the gallon month" law on
the Eastern Shore and the prohibition
regulations In the various counties and
districts. The prohibitionists would,
therefore, have all to gain and nothing
to loose by the referendum, but DR..
Hare said he would be entirely willing
to have the bill amended so that the
referendum would make the whole

steps on his side on the upper part of
the right hip and near the small part of
the spinal column. He was picked up
by several of the bystanders and Dele
gate Campbell, who happened to be
passing, and they assisted Mr.. Hayden
to his room at the Hotel Maryland. A
physician was summoned and first aid
remedies applied. but an examination
showed that no bones had been frac-
tured. Captain Hayden will be confined
to his room for several days yet. He
was able to leave his bed today, but
could not attend the session of the
House this afternoon. He is still suffer
ing from the shock.
The accident was due TO the fact that
ice was permitted on the State House
steps. The ice was removed immediate
ly after the accident The assistant
superintendent, who has charge of this
work is said to be using the incident as
complaint against the economy plan
recently adopted, claiming that he is
not given sufficient help to keep the
house and grounds in proper condition.
Some one suggested to Captain HAYDEN
that he file claim against the State
for damages but he will probably not
take this suggestion seriously. Captain
Hayden being an elderly man, other
members of the House. especially those
from Western Maryland are giving him
as much kindly attention as possible
during his disability.
1t is expected that the Legislature
will literally recompense Captain Hay
den for the expense. loss of time and
suffering he has entailed because of
the accident.
Speaker Laird late yesterday after
noon announced the House committee

alleged. He has entered voluntary
bankruptcy and his schedule shows Ii
abilities of $3.50, 900.
Several other men also have been
driven into bankruptcy as a result of
the bank failure, it is SAID. Indictments
were returned against McGraw and
Durbin at the last term of the grand
jury, but McGraw's indictment was
quashed as were several of the counts
against Durbin. A few of the old
charges, however. are still in force
against him, besides the charges pre-
scented Friday.

DR.. r. H. Riley. the state health Of

State wet or dry, on the theory that
the citizens would be more apt to vote
dry If they saw any danger of their own
counties going wet again.
Another bill bearing upon the tenn
perance question and to further enforce
the principles of the law which makes
Garrett county dry, was introduced by
Senator Speicher yesterday in the Sen
ate. 1t amends the present present
law by adding two sections-one for
bidding the giving of spirituous or
vinous livuors, etc., to minors, and the
other prohibiting the shipment of in
toxicants into Garrett county. This
bill was referred to Select Committee
composed of Senators Speicher, Zihl-
man, of Allegany, and Bomberger, of
Washington county. instead of the Tenn
perance Committee, which has been
customorv with measures of this
character.
At yesterdays session of the Senate
also, Senator Speicher introduced bill
to repeal the dog tax law now in force
in Garrett county, and which was pass
ed at the session of 1914. This bill was
also referred to the Select Committee
composed of Senators Speicher, Zihl-
man and Bombeger.
A contest for the Republican caucus
nomination for State Treasurer was
narrowly averted yesterday. Some of
the Baltimore friends of former Col
lector of Customs William F. Stone
doomed him for the honor, but Minority
Floor Leader MetZeIott, who arrived
later, soon got wind of probable con-
test in the caucus, and upon his sugges-
tons and in the interest of harmony,
the 'Stone talk" stopped and Robert
+. Duer of Somerset county, was de-
cided upon. Mr.. Duer was the Republic
can candidate State Comptroller in the
last election against Hugh McMullen,
of Allegany county, the Democratic
Comptroller Mr.. McMullen was
to have been sworn in today at noon and
enter upon his duties at once, but he is
detained at his home in Cumberland by
illness. Mr.. McMullen was sworn in a
week ago to fill out the unexpired term
of Comptroller Harrington, who had re-
signed to become Governor.
Delegate John Shartzer. of Garrett
county, last Thursday had an order

roll call sheet of February 25th, ses-
sion of 1914, showing the vote of the
House on Senate Bill No. l, known as
''the Speicher Local Option Bill for
Garrett county," Mr. Shartzer claimed
that the roll-cal sheet incorrectly show

whereas, be had voted for it, and he
charged that someone had either alter.
ed the roll-call sheet or substituted the
correct one tor the falsified one, and
stated that his purpose in asking for

was in order that he might present the

day the certified copy had not been
turned oyer to him, nor has Mr..
Shartzer made any further demand for
it, but he says he will do so.
