rs SOON TO RULE
ON ANNEXATION BILL.
Judge Duncan To Pass Upon
Constitutionality Of The
Greater Baltimore Bill.

A ruling on the constitutionality of
the recently passed Annexation Bill
will be filed in a comparatively short
time by Judge Frank |. Duncan, ac-
cording TO the prevailing opinion of
the outcome of the case now pending
in the Baltimore County Circuit
Court.
Judge Duncan said that he would
decide the case as soon as he could
give il the consideration ii deserved
The question was raised 10y the
County Commissioners and the Treas
urer of Baltimore County in their
answer to the bill of complaint filed
by Alvie C. Eyler, to restrain them
from collecting an assessment of $175
levied on Eyler's property at Arling-
ton for the cost OF constructing a sew
erage plant at that place.
The case was argued yesterday af-
ternoon before Judge Duncan by H.
II. Dinneen for Mr. Eyler and r. Scott
Offutt and Edward H. Blacke for the
county authorities. Judge Duncan
said that as the only question in dis
pute i'm the case was the constitution
ality of the Annexation law, he would
first hear the argument of the defend
ants counsel.
The opening argument was made by
Mr.. Offutt. He attacked the validity
of the annexation law on the ground
that the title to the law did not dis
close its provisions. He asserted that
the law was clearly i'm violation of the
provision of the Constitution OF Mary
land. which, he claimed, prescribed
that the lines of no county shall be
changed without the consent Of the
majority of the voters residing in the
territory to be annexed.
The Supreme Court of the United
States. Mr.. Onutt declared had de-
cided that when a court passes on a
point of law not involved in the case
at bar, the same shall not be bind
ing. Anne Arundel County, Mr.. Of
futt asserted, was at no point ada
cent to Baltimore City.

AFTERMATH OF AUTO
ACCIDENT IS HEARD.
Man Held Responsible For Death
Of Two Persons In Hanover
Street Bridge Smashup.

An aftermath of the death of a man
and a woman when an automobile JOY
ride ended disastrously while a
party of persons was speeding from
Baltimore to Anne Arundel County
over the new Hanover street bridge
last February, came yesterday after
noon when Elmer Smith, of Balti-
more was lodged in Jail awaiting ac-
tion by the grand jury as the person
responsible for the deaths of Mrs
Emma E. Shannahan and Conrad
Wagner, who were killed on February
16 when an automobile driven by
Smith went into the open draw of the
bridge. Both fell overheard and their
bodies were not found until two
weeks later.
Two women and two men who also
were in the automobile were badly in
ipjured, and one of the men still is in
Mecy Hospital. Smith, who also was
hurt in the accident, has been fined
$3.50 and costs on charges of using the
automobile without the consent of its
owner and driving recklessly. He
went to Jail in default of the fine.

SIGHT LIFE BOATS
IN CYCLOPS' PATH.
Annapolis Survivor Of Entonia
Thinks Overturned Craft
Were From Collier.

Turned down for defective eyesight
when he attempted TO enlist for serv-
ice in the army. Joseph Hinton, of
Annapolis volunteered in the mer-
chant marine service and has Just
reached home after a thrilling expert
ence on the torpedoed Entonia, but
has reported TO the offices of the Le-
land Line that he is ready TO sail on
their next ship.
Last Saturday" said Hinton
while the steamer on which I was
returning to the United States was
crossing the path which should have
been followed by the CyclOps, we
sighted two overturned lifeboats. We
could not distinguish any name on
them. neither could we see any trace
of survivors, but after hearing of the
loss of the collier we all felt that the
lifeboats may have been from her"
1t was reported that four men were
killed on the Entonia when the tor
pedo exploded, but such was not the
case. according to Hinton, who says;
After we had abandoned the ship
the Captain called for a volunteer
crew to go back aboard of her and
make an effort to get her to port.
The four men who lost their lives
were in the boiler room when the wa
ter, which was slowly filling the ship,
reached the tanks and they exploded"
The ship was torpedoed on March %
off the English coast while returning
to the United States. The survivors
were in lifeboats about II hours be-
fore being rescued

IRON WORKERS
DEMAND BOOST.
Terry And Tench Company Con-
sidering Ultimatum From
Employees On Towers.
WANT S1.5O PER HOUR.
Increase Would Mean Over 5000
Per Day In The Cost Of
Labor Alone. Third
DELAY On Work.
Delay On Work.

Another demand has been made by
the iron workers employed by the
Terry and Tench Company, who have
the sub-contract for the construction
OF the big radio plant being erected on
the Greenberry Point government
property across The Severn River from
the Naval Academy. Pending confer
ences between the representatives of
the Company and the men there has
been nothing in the nature of a gen
eral tie-up or strike. but il is stated
that about 10 or Is men refused to go
on the job this morning.
The men are now getting S1.25 an
hour for their full days work, their
time being counted from the start to
work in motor trucks and until they
are returned TO the head of Main
street after quitting work each after
noon. They have now demanded an
additional 25 cents per hour, making
their pay $3.50 an hour On even
fiat S-hour 6ov, this means an increase
in the cost to the contractor of $500
per day per man, and there are in
the neighborhood of 100 men involved.
This makes a boost of 5000 per day in
the cost of labor alone and frankly
has the contractors guessing. A
representative of the Company this
morning pointed out this serious in
crease in labor cost and said that,
while the company is try to be patri-
otic and not to hold up so important
a government work, it is being hard
pressed when such figures have to be
considered.
A recent disagreement between the
Terry and Tench Company and the
Austin Company, which led to the
formers men being laid off for sey-
eral days until the government was
appealed to and Strengthened the diff
flculty out by serving an ultimatum
under which the Austin Company re-
ceded from it's former demands upon
the Terry and Tench people, caused a
serious loss of time Prior to that
there had been a demand from the
iron workers for more money and
this had also been responsible for
delay.

Miss MCGOWAN Pleased.

Miss MCGOWAN, who is engaged in
war Work activities around the can
tonments, especially assigned to work
in Anne Arundel and Prince George
counties, is greatly pleased with the
work being done by the Girls Patri-
otic League of Annapolis.
She was present at the rally at the
High School Tuesday night when it
was moved by the Secretary to vote
a $50 Liberty Bond. Miss MCGOWAN
said the spirit of the girls was won
derful. They not only raised the $50
bond. but soon raised it to 500 and
then went $50 more, making the bond
$3.50. of which one-third was paid in
cash and the two-thirds subscribed
by members of the League.
Miss MCGOWAN says the Girls Pa
triotic League is not only one of
korkers but has the spirit that is
worthy of emulation.

ed by Walter II. Buck and passed both
branches of the Legislature without
dissenting vote. Chairman Zouck of
the State Roads Commission objected
to certain features of the bill, es-
pecially the one prohibiting the eX-
penditure of more than $50 without
the approval of the Commission, but
withdrew his objection when Attor-
ney General Ritchie ruled that the
provision simply means that no ex-
penditure in excess of $50 will bind
the Commission unless ratified by it.
The Governor signed the Statewide

time it was introduced most people
laughed at the idea that it could be

by the Anne Arundel grand jury with
the crime The indictment has been
presented to the Court and it is now
expected that the accused negro will

one of the most horrible in the history
of Anne Arundel County. was COM
mitted on the railroad tracks of the
Pennsylvania line between Odenton
and Patuxent on the afternoon of
April 5th. The negro was arrested al
most at once and has since confessed
the murder.
Having disposed OF the Isaacs' case
through the hearing OF witnesses yes
terday, the grand jury this morning
took up consideration of two other
murders in the county. The first to
be considered was that of Tom Pin
dell, colored. charged with killing
Frank Brewer during an alteration
at a negro shanty on the farm of Mr.
George King, Jr, on the afternoon of
last Christmas Day. Brewer was
struck across the head with an AK and
died a few minutes later.

up the murder of Joseph Gejzewski, a
saloon keeper in the Curtis Bay sec
tion of the Fifth District, who was
shot on the night of Tuesday, Novem-
ber 18th, as he was closing up his bar
for the night. Jerome Slaughter, now
in Jail, is accused of the crime and
has confessed it to Sheriff Joseph H.

GUS crimes, both involving attacks
upon women, which remain to be dis
posed of by the grand jury.
