STATE BONUS BILL DECLARED
INVALID by COURT.

The Court Of Appeals at Annap-
oils on Tuesday held the $4,000, 900
soldier bonus bill unconstitutional
and ordered the decision of the
lower court reversed and the case
remanded for a writ of mandamus.
The court held that the referend-
um provision of the Bonus Bill is in
violation of the State constitution,
and consequently is void.
The bonus bill was passed by the
last session of the Legislature.
Some months ago its constitutional.
ity was attacked by Harry o. Brawn.
or, a Baltimore business man, who
petitioned for a writ of mandamus
compelling the Board Of Elections
Supervisors of Baltimore City to
keep the bonus question off the bal.
lot. The Elections Supervisors
were defended by the Attorney
General.
First blood in the legal fight
went to the Elections Board, the
States Law Department and to pro-
ponents Of the measure generally
when Judge Stein in Circuit Court
Part 2, upheld the validity of the
bill. The decision was appealed.

ary alimony and counsel fees while

amount of alimony until after he
had given the matter full considera-
tion. Mrs. Montgomery's chief
counsel, Harry Wolf, produced an
administrators statement that had
been drawn up by Montg0mery's
lawyers, showing that the plaintiff's
resources totaled $4,000.
Montgomery had brought suit in
June to annul his marriage to the
former. chorus girl, the ,nuptials hav-
ing taken place at o'clock on the
morning of last January 25, after a
taxicab ride to Elkton. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. Daniel
Forbes Lockerbie, the marrying
parson," after the clerk of the mar
riage license bureau had been called
from his bed.
There were only a few witnesses
called to the stand Tuesday. Peggy,
who is about 20 years old, was ae-
companied into court by her mother
and father, the latter coming from

meeting on the top of the Himalyian
0untains." He referred to the
many bills passed which are for the
detriment of the people rather than
for their welfare.
However, he did rejoice in the
fact that the right of a trial by jury
has been restored. "They did not
restore it by voluntary action" e.
marked the minority leader. but
did it because the court of errors and
appeals by destroying the Van Ness
act made il impossible to restore any
enforcement ACT except one which
contained a trial by jury"
He mentioned that the legislature
has refused to pass a five-cent fare
bill. The senator condemned the
Lawmakers for not taking action
on the seating of Senator Truman
Newberry, of Michigan. in the upper
House of the federal congress, for
whose seating both of our United
States senators voted. They also at
tempted to get through the legisla-
ture, he continued, a bill which II
passed would have compelled every
person who owned a pool room or
billiard parlorI whether they sold
near-beer or not. to take down their
screens and allow the interior to be
visible from the street.
