PATTIS0N LOSES BIG LAW
SUIT AGAINST BRYDONS
Judge DOub Renders Opinion of
Great Interest In Coal Com
pany Case at Cumberland

On Saturday last, Judge Albert A.
Doub filed an opinion in the equity
case Of Carroll Pattison against How
ard P. Brydon and E. Richard Brydon
in the Circuit Court of Allegany
county at Cumberland. The parties
to the suit are cousins and were born
and reared at Bloomington, Garrett
county.
The suit was started more than
a year ago by Pattison and was given
considerable publicity in the newspa-
pers of Garrett and Allegany counties
at the time and also during the trial
Of the case some months ago.
Mr.. Pattison alleged that the Bry-
dons had agreed to pay him the sum
Of 500, ,013.79 for his stock in the Cal
edonia Coal Company at Barton, Ma
ryland. The Brydons, in their answer
denied that they had agreed to pay
anything to Mr.. PattiSOn. They al
legged that he never paid a penny for
any interest in the Caledonia Coal
Company and that he received from
the earnings of the company about
100000 in dividends, in addition to
the use for his own profit of large
sums of money collected by him for
coal of the company, which he sold as
sales agent and deposited in banks in
his own name, and for which he had
not accounted to the company. They
also claimed that upon an accounting
with the company it would be shown
that Mr.. Pattison was in debt to it in
a sum far in excess of what he claim
ed to be due him.
The Caledonia Coal Company by its
attorneys promptly filed suit against
Mr.. Pattison, asking for an account
ing, and claimed that he owes it up
wards of 100000, which suit is still
pending, awaiting the outcome of this
case
In a lengthy and careful opinion,
upon full consideration Of all the tes-
timony and after every opportunity
was given the parties, the Court de-
clares that Mr.. Pattison wholly failed
to prove his case and dismissed the
bill.
Both the Pattison and Brydon fam
lilies have been identified with the coal
industry in Bloomington for many
years past where mines are still be-
ing operated by them.

MARYLANDER PLANS TO
IMPROVE THE DIRT ROADS
Farmers Own One-Third of All
Autos and IS Per Cent of them

Natural earth roads, which COM
pose 85 per cent of our rural highway
system, have been the subject for
series of studies by the highway re-
search board at Washington.

waste this is" says Prof. S. s. Stein
berg, of the University Of Maryland,
'when we consider that one-third of
all the automobiles in use are owned
by farmers, most of whom are COM
PEELED to use the earth roads.
"Many attempts have been made to
solve this problem. North Carolina
has used a sand asphalt surface made
up of mixture of SO per cent local
sand and per cent of asphalt.
Realizing that this is one Of the
most important problems confronting
highway engineers, the highway re-
search board is attempting to corordi-
nate completed and current research
on the subject with the hope Of devel-
oping low-cost road surface that
will be suitable for light traffic"

DESERTED GIRL BABY WAS
FOUND in BARN SATURDAY
Child Was Wrapped In Cotton
Batting and a Baby's Blan-
kc.. N'hen Discovered

An unidentified white baby girl,
whose birth had probably taken place
a week previous, was found in the
barn on the John o. Thayer farm,
eight miles north of Oakland on the
Oakland-Accident State road, last
Saturday morning about nire o'clock
when the tenant on the farm, Henry
Bowman, went to the building to do
some work claiming his attention.
The Thayer dwelling in which the
Bowman family resides, is located on
the opposite side of the road from the
barn and almost directly opposite. At
the time Mr.. Bowman left the house
his attention was attracted by the
fact that the double doors of the barn
We're standing about ten inches apart
as on the previous night he had closed
them tightly. Going to the doors he
looked in and noticing a white bundle
lying on the floor about eight feet in
side the doors he investigated and
discovered the infant, apparently
dead or dying, as it gave no indica-
ton that life still existed. Calling to
Mrs. Bowman and informing her of
his find, she in turn summoned a near
neighbor and the infant was carried
into the kitchen of the Bowman home,
where it was given attention by the
T., +ha Il n
|. Broadwater and States Attorney
w. R. Offutt were notified, who, 60
ing to the Bowman house investigat-
ed the matter.
Dr.. Broadwater gave it as his opin-
ion that the child was probably a
week old. No marks of any character
that would give the slightest cue as
to who the child was or where it came
from was found upon the blanket in
which it was wrapped, nor did any
member Of the Bowman household
uhear or observe anything unusual dur
hg the night preceding the discovery
of the child, hence it is the opinion of

to the barn in an automobile and left
there during the late hours Of Fri
day evening.
Upon taking the baby into the
house, Mrs. Bowman laid it upon the
oven door of the kitchen stove and af-
ter it had become warm evidences of
life were apparent and in A. few
minutes it cried and little nourish-
ment was given it. The little one has
dark eyes and hair and looked as
though it had had fair treatment
prior to being abandoned by its heart
less mother or by the person respon-
sible fo rits presence in the barn.
States Attorney Offutt will carry
his investigation on in an effort to
locate the person responsible for the
abandonment Of the baby. 1t is now
a county charge.

down a door in an effort to interview
the woman and in fit of anger, it is
said. beat her over the head with an
iron pipe, which he had used to smash
down the door.

REPEAL OF SECTION OF
ELECTION LAW IS URGED
Chairman TAFT of the G.. O. p.
Calls Declaration of Inten-
tiOn" Act Absurd.

Galen l.. Tait, chairman of the Re-
publican State Central Committee of
Maryland, on Saturday condemned as
absurd the State law which re-
quires a citizen of another State to
declare his intention" of becoming a
citizen of Maryland one year before
he is permitted to vote here.
In letter to J. Enos Ray, chair
man of the Democratic State Central
Committee, Mr. TAFT suggested that
the two chairmen of the State COM
mittees agree to urge the repeal of
this discriminatory law" upon mem
bers of their party at the next con-
vention and before the next session
of the State Legislature.
Mr.. Tait's letter read as follows:
Maryland and Baltimore are rap
idly advancing as industrial and COM
mercial centers. Citizens of other
States are coming in large numbers
to increase our growth and prosper
ity.
'An indefensible law, damaging to
the States growth and reputation,
has been kept on the statute books by
politicians. No political party de-
serves support unless it serves the
real interests of the State.
This absurd law demands that a
ayt = al, A
must declare his intention to become
a citizen of Maryland before the clerk
Of court one year before he can vote.
No other State requires this. Simple
residence for the constitutional period
Of a year should be and was sufficient
until the law was forced on Maryland
in 1902.
political leaders should join with
commercial leaders in aiding, instead
Of impeding, the upbuilding of the
State by making it simple instead of
difficult for qualified newcomers to
become voting citizens.
"Our Commonwealth has been call
ed the Maryland Free State. This
boast becomes a farce in the face of
the fact that over $4,000 newcomers
have been tricked of their right to
freely register and vote after one
years residence This army of ac-
tual citizens will be disfranchised for
the election of 1926 unless they de
clare intention before November 2
next. This subject is therefore one
Of immediate Importance.
"To cure this condition | propose:
81. That as chairmen of the two
major parties, respectively, we join
in a public notice to these thousands
of citizens from other States that this
declaration of intention must be made
before the clerk of the court between
now and next November 2, in order,
when followed by registration next
year, to vote in the important election
of 1926.
"2. That we agree to urge upon
our party members of the conventions
of 1926 and the Legislature of 1927,
respectively, the repeal of this dis
criminatoyr law.
Il am sending a copy hereof to
Gov. Albert C. Richie with the re-
quest that he concur in order that
this multitude of worthy American
citizens, various in race, creed and
color, coming from other States, may
be unhampered in acquiring full vot-
ing rights of Maryland citizenship.
Democratic principles under re-
publican form of government de
mand the broadening, not the mar
rowing, of the electoral franchise.
at would also be proper to include
the affidavit of removal act, which
likewise hampers voting citizenship,
within the scope of such proposed re-
peal"
