GOVERNOR ANNOUNCES
STATE APPOINTMENTS
No New Names Among Statewide
AppointeeS-Public Service COM
missioner to be Named Later.

State House, Annapolis, Feb. ~.
Governor Harrington tonight sent
to the Senate his list of appointments
for the next two years. There were
no changes in the Statewide ap-
pointees made two years ago. The
following are the most notable chan-
ges in the Baltimore list:
Former Senator William Curran
succeeds DR.. George Heller as
Democratic member of the Board OF
Liquor License Commissioners.
Election Supervisor Edmund Z.
Wachter succeeds Edward Duffy as
minority member of the Board OF
Police Examiners.
Frank Smith succeeds Mr.. Wach-
ter as minority member OF the BOARD
of Election Supervisors.
C.. l. T. Gould is appointed RepuD-
lican member of the Board OF Mo-
ton Picture Censors to succeed the
late William F. Stone.
DR.. ]. Ross Coppage succeeds Col.
Joseph Wickes on Board of Police
Examiners.
A last-minute surprise was sprung
when Governor Harrington sent
down the name of DR.. H. Ross Cop
page in place of Col. Joseph Wickes
as a Democratic member OF the
Board of Police Examiners and re-
tanned DR.. Herbert Driscoll on the
coroners' list.
The original slate provided for the
elimination of DR.. Driscoll because OF
the personal opposition of Senator
Trick. Senator Norris had been
making a fight all day for DR.. Cop
page and at last won out. By max
ing DR.. Coppage, the Governor has
probably alienated Senators Camp
bell and Norris from Senator Frick,
and this will force the latter to make
his fight against Driscoll alone.
Messrs. Riggs and Burke, Demo
Gratis. and Ammidon, Republican, are
reappointed Police Commissioners.
The same list of justices of the
peace named two years ago was re-
appointed. From this list, the Gov
ernor will designate in May the JUS
tees to sit at the several police sta
lions. He will make no changes il
his assignments.
A public service commissioner to
succeed T. Clay Timanus, Republi-
can, will be appointed later and
members of other State commits
mission, will be named from time to
time as their terms expire. Under
the acts creating the commissions in
Industrial Accident Commission,
whose term expired in October, 1915,
will not be disturbed for the present.
No changes will be made in the
Conservation, Tax, Prison, Control,
vi &c 70
that Thomas Parran will succeed j.
F. Mudd as minority member of the
State Roads Commission.
Frank Kelly came here today and
conferred with the Governor on ap-
pointments. The only change Que di-
rectly to the Governors determina-
ton to punish John ]. Mahon, head
OF the regular city organization, and
the city administration is the substi-
tuition of William Curran for DR..
Heller on the Liquor License Board.
Mr.. Mahon was almost wholly with
out representation on the city
boards, even while DR.. Heller held
Office. Now he has lost him. At this
move Mr.. Mahon is not disappointed,
since the Governor has persistently
declined to give him recognition.
Now the last link has been broken.
Mr.. Wachter succeeds Mr.. Duffy on
the Police Examining Board because
the latter and Examiner Wickes,
Democrat, formed the majority,
while Isaac N. Frank, Democrat was
q minority member. In addition the
Governor was anxious to reward Mr..
Wachter because he stood by Marion
A. Mckee on the Board of Election
Supervisors. The Republican city
committee refused to designate Mr..
Wachter as one of the four from
whom the Governor, under the law,
must make his minority selection.
Mr.. Gould was appointed a mem
Der of the Board of Moving Picture
Censors on recommendation by for
mer Governor Goldsborough, who
aided the Governor materially during
the war session of the legislature. In
addition the Governor and the for
mer Governor were neighbors in
Cambridge.
DR.. Gorsuch was on the list to sue
coed DR.. Driscoll as coroner, because
Senator Prick had entered a personal
objection to the retention of the
latter. At a late hour the Governor
restored DR.. Driscoll, relying upon
Senators Campbell and Norris to
confirm him. DR.. Coppage, a friend
Of Senators Campbell and Norris, sue
ceeds Colonel Wickes on the Police
Examiner Board.
There were minor changes in sey-
eral counties.
The list follows:
To be members of the board of
trustees of the Maryland State Col
lege of Agriculture for the remain
der Of term of nine years from the
first Monday in June, 1917:
Henry Holzapfel, reappointed,
Washington county.
For a term of nine years from the
first Monday in June, 1918:
B. John Black, reappointed, Balti-
more county.
