Appeal Board Cleared.

That more or less i'll feeling had de
veloped between at least one member
of the local exemption board for his
county and the District Appeal Board
developed at Annapolis on last Fri
day afternoon at the hearing before
Governor Harrington and Adj-Gen-
Henry M. Warield of charges of par
tiallity in administering the provisions
of the draft law. AS the case unfoided
the friction was dissipated and all
hands left the hearing apparently we'll
satisfied.
The hearing was arranged by Coy
ernor Harrington, acting upon petit
ton of several citizens of this county,
who claimed that partiality had
been shown by the District Appeal
Board in exempting men called for
se~vice.
R. F. Gates, chairman; S. D. Hall,
clerk, and DR.. John E. Sansbury, con-
stituting the local board for this county,
were present at the hearing and DR..
Sansbury acted as spokesman, he being
more familiar with the physical condt-
ton OF the drafters. DR.. Sansbury had
joined in signing the petition tor all

two members of the local board did

Governor Harrington, with the assist
ance of Judge Moss and the members
of the district Appeal Board, made an
inquiry into the whole situa-
ton. and it transpired that in every in.
stance where complaint had been regis
tered as to the drafters exempted from
service, both the local board and the
district board were justified in the &C
ton they took in passing upon the cases. |
1t developed that the several men ex-
empted and whose names furnished the |
basis for the petition are engaged IN |
agricultural pursuits, or have depend |
ents. and their caim ms for exemption |
were well founded.
The element of i'll fe cling was inject |
ed into the hearing by the statement OF
DR.. Sansbury when he referred to the
fact that DR.. l.. A. Griffith, resident |
Of this county, was a member OF tie |
Western Shore District Board. In this
he said 1--WE have an IN
fortunate condition in Prince Georges
n having a meneer OF the District
Board living in the county, and we do
let want any interference with our own
part of the work.
