BALTIMORE, December 5.-Amend-
ment of the law to make the max
imum penalty for burglary and rob-
berry more severe was proposed at a
special meeting of the bar associa-
tion last night.
The proposals, If incorporated into
the law, will make both crimes pun
ishable by twenty years imprison-
ment, which exceeds by two years the
maximum for second degree murder.
Ihey also will eliminate the minimum
term, fixed by the statute as 1t now
stands. This will give the judge i'm
posing sentence the right to send the
prisoner either to the house of cor
rectlon or the penitentiary. The pen
aIly at present is three to ten years.
other amendments were discussed.
one OF the most important is that
pertaining to inheritance. Under the
present wording of the statutes,
where a testator has no other reIa,

quests to charities the widow NAV
renounce her right to the part of the
estate bequeathed her and lay claim
70 the whole. In this way, ii is said
charitable institutions frequently lose

Another change in the law would
give the widow a right to claim one

noticeable was the unity of the voices

Two OF the soloists are not only
well known to. but great favorltes with.
