CHECKING UP
PRISONERS IN
LOCAL JAIL
Annex Decision Creates Doubt
Of Status Of County Convicts
Arrested Since Last May
WORK FOR OFFICIALS
IN THE TWO COUNTIES
Decisions Of Magistrates Of Sub.
urbs In Criminal Cases Also
Being Questioned Now

Judge Hammond Urner's opinion
holding that the jurisdiction of the
Baltimore City Courts now extends
over the annexed portion of the Fifth
district of Anne Arundel county, as
well as in the annexed section of Bal
timore county, has given States At
torney Green, and the other county Of
ficials some work. States Attorney
Green today asked Sheriff Bells to
check up the prisoners now in the
Anne Arundel county Jail to determine
whether the institution has in it
prisoners whose offenses were COM
mitted prior to June 1st, last when the
annexation act became operative. 1t
will then be necessary to determine
the status of these prisoners and
whether or not they shall at once be
turned over to Baltimore city for in
carceration in the municipality Jail,
and for trial before the city courts.
In Baltimore county the grand jury
for the next term will meet the third
Monday in September Naturally, it
will have cases from the new annex
States Attorney George Hartman stat
ed that all cases before the next grand
jury would be closely watched. He
said that where the offenses had been
committed in the new annex since
June ! he would recommend that the
cases be referred to the grand jury for
Baltimore city. 1t is understood that
the States Attorney for Anne Arundel
county will follow the same course.
But a more interesting question has
arisen as a result of Judge Urners de-
cision. Briefly put, it is: Can per
sons committed by county magistrates
for offenses in the new annex since
June 1 obtain their releases through
habeas corpus proceedings based on
lack of jurisdiction on the part of The
committing magistrate?"
Still another question raised yester-
day was: How will the decisions af-
feet persons who have been fined by
county magistrates in the new annex
since June II"

At the request of the United States
ted through the Bureau of Education
Governor Harrington has Joined with
State Superintendent NJ Bates Steph-
ems, in calling a conference to meet at
Mccoy Hall, Baltimore tomorrow. Au-
gust 10th. at 10 a. m, to discuss the

of the State Board of Education, and
representatives from the State and
County Councils of Defense, and repre-
sentatives from various other organiza-
tions and individuals interested in war
work and education will attend and
participate in the conference.
While the recent session of the Leg
islature increased slightly the approp-
riations for schools, and although a
few of the teachers who left the serv-
ice during the past year are coming
back, the situation is still far from
normal and only renewed interest in
the schools will keep them up to the
standard.
1t is the purpose of the meeting to
discuss ways and means of realizing
the Presidents hope that mo boy or
girl shall have less opportunity for
education because of the war and that
the nation may be strengthened as it
can only be through the right educa-
tion of all its people"

BURIAL IN NEW YORK

The funeral of Henry J. Mielke,
aged % years, victim of the drowning
accident in Spa creek, took place in
New York city today
The father of the young man came
here and accompanied the young
widow to that city. Mrs. Mielke is
said to be entirely without relatives
Prior TO the accident, the victim had,
with his wife, been visiting the fami-
ly of Mr.. Miller, and not that of Mr..
Gilhuley, on Shipwright street. The
error in giving the name of the latter
was due to the fact that the message
of the accident came to police head
quarters over the Gilhuley telephone.

DRAWING OF JURORS
FOR FIFTH DISTRICT
Annexation Act Has Created
Some Changes For Judge
Moss In Local Court
JURY LAW UNCHANGED

The annexation law, having made
no provision for changes in the method
of drawing jurors in the annexed sec.
tions of Anne Arundel and Baltimore
Counties, some unusual complications
have arisen in connection Herewith
In Anne Arundel each election district
is upon the basis of population, as
signed pro rata representation on the
juries When Judge Robert Moss, in
the local Circuit Court draws his jur-
ors for the October jury term Of court
it is expected that he will allot a pro-
portionate pro rata number of jurors
to the rural sections of the Fifth dis
trict not included in the annexed ter.
ritory. This district having the largest
population has in past years always
furnished the larger proportion of
talesmen
In connection with the Baltimore
county situation it is pointed out that
the now annexed Twelfth District,
which had the largest population and
it consequently had the largest number
of jurors selected from it.
Judge Allan McLane stated yester-
day that all of the Twelfth district,
except one precinct, has been annexed
10 Baltimore and according to law the
largest number of the jurors will be
still selected from said district, not
withstanding the sweeping reduction
of its area.
Parts of the First. Third, Ninth.
Thirteenth and Fifteenth districts
were also annexed to the city. No
changes can be made in the jury law
of the county until the legislature
meets again

DISCUSSED PLANS
FOR NEW LIBERTY
LOAN CAMPAIGN
County Chairman Heard Of New
System During Yesterdays
Meeting In Baltimore
ADVANTAGE OF THE
ALLOTMENT PLANS
Worked Most Successfully In
Western States In The
Last Big Drive

The county chairmen of the Mary
land Liberty Loan Committee, includ
ing President Harry j. Hopkins, of
the Farmers National Bank. chairman
for Anne Arundel, held very inter
esting and harmonious conference at
the Hotel Belvedere. Baltimore. yes
terday afternoon, 20 counties being
represented. The conference was pre-
sided over by Col Harry b. Wilcox,
the general chairman of the State
committee.
The conference was called to dis
cuss plans for the conduct OF the
Fourth Liberty Loan Campaign, which
begins September 2S. Homer p. Clark,
of Minneapolis, an authority on ag-
gressive or intensive plans for float
ing Liberty Loans, was present and
addressed the conference in support
of the individual allotment system
and it was the sense of the conference
that this plan be adopted or carried
into effect by the counties, acting in
dependently, yet in cooperative
sense with every other county in the
State.
Following this conference. there
was held at the Merchants Club
meeting of the bankers of Baltimore
and a number from various parts of
the State, where the individual allot-
ment system was gone into more full
ly. The bankers promised their sup
port to the Individual Allotment Plan
should it be adopted by the Liberty
Loan Committee.
The one idea predominating all
others is to float this Fourth Liberty
Loan in the quickest possible way at
the smallest possible cost
Heretofore the spectacular features
introduced in the Liberty Loan cam
paigns has called for too great an out
lay of money 1t is contended that
under the individual allotment plan
the desired result can be attained at
great saving of cost and also of
time.
The individual allotment system
consists of ascertaining the income
and the financial standing of every
person in the community, so that some
idea may be obtained as to the amount
of Liberty Bonds he is able to pur-
chase. Accord ingly, each person will
be asked to subscribe to the amount
set forth by the Liberty Loan Com
mittee, and which amount will be stip-
ulated only after a careful investiga-
ton.
The apportionment of allotment will
be made upon a basis of property
value ascertained by court record, or,
rather, the individuals known finan-
cial ability to carry the amount of the
allotment, which is to be made by the
Liberty Loan Committee and not by
the bankers of the country, as was re-
Gently intimated by some
While the campaign is not to begin
until September %, it is the purpose
of the State committee that the foun-
dation work for the floating of the
fourth issue shall proceed at once
with all speed to the end that within
the allotted time, three weeks, the
loan may not only be fioated. but over
subscribed.
A special effort will be made among
the farmers and laboring masses
throughout the country to not only
themselves subscribe, but to make
personal appeals to others.
