CURTIS ATTACKED

Baltimore Delegate AssaiIed

ANNAPOLIS, Md, February IA
Rising to a question of personal privi-
lege on the floor of the House of Dele
gates Yesterday. as soon as the gavel
had dropped, Joseph A. Wilmer Of
Faulkner, st. Marys County, Republican
floor leader, delivered a heated attack
on Francis p. Curtis of the second leg
islative district of Baltimore, Democrat,
and vice chairman of the grand in
quest.
He charged that Curtis had failed to
represent his constituents i'm the House
for one whole session, because he
thought more of job he held with the
commissioner for opening streets, in
Baltimore.
This statement brought a rap for
order from Speaker Lee, on the ros-
trum, who said that it was out of order,
because the rules prohibited criticism
OF any member of the House. But Will
mer replied that from what he knew
OF parliamentary procedure it was en-
tirely in order in a case of this kind.
MIR. Wilmer read a quotation from
Baltimore paper in which Curtis was
alleged to have said that Wilmer was
playing filthy politics" in connection
with the State roads investigation.
He said that he didn't mind what any
member of the House or the newspapers
said about him personally, but he al
legged that the purpose of the Curtis
statement was to discredit him and his
testimony before the Nelligan commit
tee, where he told of alleged irregulari-
ties in Charles County. He charged also
that he was speaking on behalf of the
small guard that he had the honor to
lead in the lower house. and that the
Curtis charge was reflection on them.
He added that he could legally prove
any statement that he made on the floor
or before any commission, and added
that he did not apologize to the House
or any one else for anything he had said
to date in connection with the scandals
or to the member from Baltimore. whom
he characterized as a little tin-horned
politician who sees things only through
his weazel-minded eyes"
Curtis remained in his seat during
the entire debate. his face flushed, but
did not attempt to make reply.

bonds by the mayor and town council
of Laurel, Prince Georges County, Md,
were introduced in the House yesterday
by Kent r. Mullikin, Democrat, Of
Laurel. One of them is to legalize a
bond issue already made, but not in
conformity with the law. The Legisla-
ture in 1920 authorized the town OFF,
Gals to issue bonds to the extent of
$4,000 to improve Main street. They
were to run for five years, according to
the law, but through an inadvertence,
the bill says, they were issued for so
years.
Another bill would authorize the
town to issue $4,000 in bonds, at a
rate of interest to be fixed by them,
the proceeds to be used for the pur-
chase of a fire engine. The bill would
authorize them to issue $4,000 in bonds
for the building of street crossings and
for general improvements to the streets
