STATE ASSEMBLY GETS
OVER two SCORE BILLS
Two Senate Resolutions Call for
Joint Investigation of State
Roads Commission Scandal

With Governor Ritchie's budget and
more than two score bills introduced
in both hou-cs of the General Assem-
bly, at Annapolis, a new resolution
calling for an investigation of the
State Roads Commission brought for
ward and a faint note of the strife
which has marked the earlier deliber-
ations of the session, the Legislature
seemed the quietest of any night or
day of the 1929 session.
Senators Beck, Democrat, of Kent
county, and Levin, Republican, of Bal
! timore, introduced resolutions calling
for an investigation of the roads COM
mission and asked that the joint COM
mittee of the House and Senate men,
bers be appointed to start it.
The advisability of moving the pen
itentiary from Baltimore and an in
quiry into prison conditions in the
State, were also introduced by Sena-
tor Levin. Governor Richie has al
ready outlined plans for the construc-
ton Of new penitentiary in the coun-
try and in his message to the joint
session, asked that an appropriation
Of S270,000 for purchase of land and
the construction Of the first unit or
units to take care of the present over
flow be granted.
Bills introduced
Among the bills proposed in the
Senate was one in which parole COM
mission would have charge and con-
sent in the giving of paroles to con-
victs. Another was for the abolish
ment of the Jim Grow law in the
State. Along with these were several
motor vehicle measures and admin
istration recommendations.
In the House a measure providing
for the designation of various high
ways as boulevards and through
streets and providing penalties for Vi
citation of these by motorists.
Want Pay Increase
Another fight for the increase in
pay for members of the General As
sembly was in sight when Delegate
Hamilton, Republican, Allegany coun-
ty, introduced a measure to have a
constitutional amendment increasing
the pay of members from five to ten
/ dollars per day, presented to the peo-
pie Of the State at the next general
election. The bill would increase the
ray of the Speaker of the House from
three to five dollars day more than
| that Of the members.

is reported in a serious condition at
his home on Laurel Run, Garrett coun-
ty, near Homecoming and five miles
from the Gorge's Creek boulevard, as
the result of an attempt at suicide
early last Friday night. He used au-
tomobile tire chains in an attempt to
hang himself in his barn after his re-
turn from visit to the vicinity of
Grantsville.
Broadwater had made a moose of a
chain after fastening it tC a rafter in
the barn, but finding it was not long
enough, extended it with a second
chain and then kicked stool upon
which he was standing from under
him. When his wife, Ruby Broadwa-
ter found him he was nearly dead as
a result of strangulation. She in some
manner released him from the chain
about his neck and assisted him to
the house.
Later he revived somewhat and
made a second attempt, according
to some members of his family, by
trying to drive his automobile over a
ffteen-foot embankment, but was pre-
vented from doing so by his brother,
Leonard Broadwater He later col
lapsed completely.
Broadwater is said to have been
respondent, dut to ill health, and rela-
tives also stated that he had been
drinking. His family consists of his
wife and three children.
