WATER COMPANY CHARTER
Has Been Issued to Corporation That
Will Operate at FriendsvilIe.

Will Operate at Friendsville.
A charter was recently granted by
the proper authorities to the City
Water Company of Friendsville, this
county, with a capitalization of $685.
600, and following this a franchise
has been given by the Mayor and
Council of Friendsville to the COM
pany to operate within the towns
limits, with the result that within a
very short time the town will have a
complete system of water works and

The water company's plans are to
procure its supply of water from a
number of springs located on the top
of Bear Greek Hill, few miles from
Friendsville and gravitate the water
to the point of consumption. 1t is
claimed by those interested in the
proposition that these springs are
never failing and that a sufficient
supply of water for all present-day
purposes can be procured.

BETHLEHEM, Pa, PARTY
IN AUTOMOBILE UPSET
Car Skids Near GrantsviIle and
Mrs. Shulze is Badly Hurt.

Henry H. Shulze, of Bethlehem,
Pa, and two sons, Walter and Nor
man, were slightly injured, and Mrs.
Shulze seriously injured Saturday
morning when the automobile in which
they were skidded and turned over
at the crossing Of the Northern Ma
ryland and Tidewater railroad, a mile
east of Grantsville, on the National
Road. Evelyn Shulze, a daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Shulze, was also an
occupant of the car, but escaped I'M
injured.
The family were enroute from
Bethlehem, Pa, where Mr.. Shulze is
employed as chief of the estimating
division of the Bethlehem Shipbuild-
ing Corporation, to Cincinnati, Ohio.
They left Bethlehem Thursday morn
ing, arriving in Cumberland Friday
afternoon. They spent the night in
that city and were on the next lap
of their journey when the accident
occurred.
According to Mr.. Shulze they
coasted down the hill with the igni-
ton cut off and were going at fair
rate of speed when they struck the
railroad tracks at the bottom. The
wet rails, caused by a moderate rain
that morning, caused the machine to
skid and in order to avoid striking
a culvert on the left side of the
road Mr.. Shulze gave the machine
a sharp turn to the right, which
caused it to turn over three times
and again right itself. Mr. and Mrs.
Shulze and the children were thrown
clear of the car. However, Mrs.
Shulze was rendered unconscious and
seriously injured about the head and
chest. Mr. Shulze and the two boys
sustained minor bruises.
The injured family was picked up
by Hugh E. Kirkwood, truck driver
for the Speelman Ice Cream Com
pany, and taken to the Allegany
Hospital, where their injuries were
attended by DR.. William L. Burns.

REPEAL OF DRY ACT
IS URGED BY FRANCE
Senator Pledges, If Reelected, to
Seek Recall of Eighteenth
Amendment.

Senator Joseph l. France formally
inaugurated his campaign on Tues
day in a statement in an address to
the citizens of Maryland in which he
came out not only for modification of
tie Volstead act but at the same
tine announced that if reelected h,
would move the repeal of the Eigh-
teenth Amendment.
AS long as the Eighteenth Amend
meIt and the Volstead act are in force
Senator France insists that both be
enforced, although he resents the dis
patch into Maryland of "swarms of
spies and secret agents who are not
citizens of our State"
The Senator regards the Eighteenth
Amendment as legislation and says
that statutes should not be written
into the Constitution where a major
ity of the people may not repeal
them. He says that the Volstead act
sis unreasonable, extreme, drastic
and makes for crime not only by the
law of nature crime" He does not
indicate what notifications he would
make in the enactment, but urges that
some be made.
Referring to the efforts of Mr..
Harry Halter to get him to withdraw,
Senator France said he had no inten-
ton of withdrawing.
81 shall answer the letter of Mr..
Halter, but have no intention of
withdrawing" said Senator France.
81 have united party behind me in
this State and am receiving assur-
ances from Republicans in all sec
"After extensive advertising only
142 Republicans could be assembled
at Braddock Heights. I expected that
/ had more enemies than that in the
State. A man in public life who does
not make enemies might feel that he
wasn't doing so well, and l hoped for
larger turnout at Braddock
Heights"
Senator France said he learned in
Cecil county Sunday that the CAM
paign of misrepresentation against
him continues; that the committee
that met at the Hotel Rennert claim
ed not to have sent out invitations
to anyone in Cecil county, this be-
in a courtesy shown Mr.. France in
his home county. However says
Senator France, he thinks that Re-
publicans in Cecil were importuned
and begged to attend both the Brad
dock Heights and Hotel Rennert
meetings.

BONUS ACT VOID SAYS
RULING OF APPEAL COURT
State Measure Unconstitutional
Because of Referendum Clause.

Reversing the ruling of Judge C..
F. Stein in lower court, the Court
of Appeals of Maryland on Tuesday
held the Soldiers Bonus act, passed
by the last Legislature with refer
endum provision, unconstitutional
and void.
The courts action will prevent the
placing upon the ballot this fall of a
proposition for a 100000 State
bond issue, proceeds of which would
be paid in various forms to former
service men.
The decision, prepared by Judge 1.
Scott Offutt, turns entirely upon the
point that the Legislature was with
out authority to pass a general law
carrying a referendum to the electo-
rate of the State. 1t was deemed
by the court unnecessary to pass up
on other Constitutional questions
raised.
Action upon which the decision was
rendered was a mandamus suit
brought by Harry 0. Brawner, of
Baltimore, against the Board of Su-
pervisors of Elections of Baltimore
city, to prevent the board from plac-
ing the question upon the ballots to
be voted at the election to be held
in November.
After some discussion of the ref
erendum practice as applied to laws
local in character, as compared with
those of Statewide application, the
decision reads:
Coming bac kto the main propo-
sition, in our judgement, the Legisla
ture had not the power to submit the
act in question to the qualified voters
of the State for their approval or dis
approval, and we rest our conclusion
upon two grounds, one, that the peo-
pie of Maryland having delegated to
the Legislature of Maryland the pow
err of making its laws, that body could
not legally or validly redelegate the
power and the authority thus con-
ferred upon it to the people them
selves; and, two, that the people of
the State from whom the Legislature
itself derives its powers, having pre-
scribed in the Constitution of the
State the manner in which its laws
shall be enacted, it is not competent
for the Legislature to prescribe any
other or different way in which its
laws may be enacted"
The decision then quotes many
cases dealing with referdum provis-
ions, after which constitutional pro-
visions for the making of laws in
Maryland are cited.
But in the act under considera-
tion," the ruling continues, "the Leg
islature has added new qualification
or condition to the passage of legis-
lation in addition to and entirely de-
hors. anything in the Constitution.
That is, it provides that although the
act under consideration has passed
both houses and has been signed by
the Governor, it shall not become
law unless majority of the qualified
voters of the State approve it.
"The effect of that provision is not
in any way to amend the Constitution
but to violate it. 1t takes away all
real responsibility for the legislation
from the Legislature and the Govern
or, where it was placed by the Con-
stitution, and places it upon an an
enymous majority of the qualified
voters"
