BALTIMORE, July 22.-Details of
the registration bill to enact which
Gov Richie has issued the call for the
special session of the Legislature July
29, were announced here yesterday at a
conference of the Governor and other
Democratic leaders.
Decision to call the Legislature to
change the registration days this Fall
SO as to prevent conflict with Jewish
holidays having been reached, the uues-
ton remained as to how the change
should be made.
The simplest method proposed is to
fix the registration days for the Thurs
DAYS and Fridays following the Tues
days, respectively, six and four weeks
ahead of election day, November 4. AS
the law now stands, the registration
DAYS are the Tuesday and Wednesday
six weeks before election day and the
Tuesday and Wednesday four weeks
before that date.
This makes the registration days this
year September % and "a, which con-
fiicts with Rosh Hashana, and october
7 and g. which conflicts with the Feast
of the Tabernacles. The Thursday and
Friday of the same weeks would be
September Is and rs and October 9
and 10.
Gov. Ritchie said:
'If 1t is found that there is neces-
sity for a permanent change, this could
be done at the next regular session OF
the General Assembly"
The bill will affect between 26,OOO
and 10000 Jewish voters in the CITY, IL

3 COMMISSIONERS
QUIT AS DIRECTORS
Montgomery Officials Resign
Places in Maryland Pub
fishing Co.
BY WILLIAM s. TARVER,
stan CORRESPONDENT of The Star.


SIVER SPRING, Md. July 22.-With
hearing on injunction proceedings
against the commissioners of Mont
gomery County but eight days distance,
the three officials, who we're directors OF
the Maryland Publishing Co. have re-
signed their directorships and their
stock has been cancelled. it was learned
today.
Reasons Set Out.
The bill in equity, was filed July Z,
and requests that the commissioners and
county treasurer be enjoined from
letting contracts for county advertising
and printing to the Maryland Publish
ing Co., and from paying bills already
due on such contracts. The proceed
ings were filed in the name of Walter
w. Mobley well-to-do taxpayer of
Derwood, Md.
The bill sets out as reason for the
request that three of the county COM
missioners are stockholders and di-
rectors of the Maryland Publishing Co.
and that the code of public laws of the
State of Maryland makes it an illegal
and lndictable offense for a county
commissioner to enter into any agree
ment in his official capacity which
may react to his personal profit.
Four Alleged as stockholders.
The commissioners who have severed
their connection with the publishing
company are DR.. Benjamin G. Perry,
president of the board; Lacy Shaw,
vice president, and Clagett Hilton. All
three we're directors and their names
had appeared on the masthead of the
Maryland News as such.
The bill alleges that fourth COM
missioner. Robert L. Hickerson, was a
stakeholder in the corporation. Con-
f1rmation of this was later printed in
the Maryland News. publication of the
Maryland Publishing Co. Whether his
stock has been cancelled could not be
learned today. Maj. E. Brooke Lee.
president of the Maryland Publishing
Co., said this would not be made pub
lie until the defendants come into court
to show cause why the injunction
should not be issued.
Judge Signs Order.
An order nisi recently was signed
by Judge Robert B Peter in Rock
vile Circuit Court, setting July 80 as
the last day on which the defendants
may appear in court and file their
answer to the plea for an injunction.
All the county commissioners and j.
Forest Walker, the county treasurer,
were made defendants in the. original
bill. The action later was amended
so that the defendants included the
Maryland Publishing Co.

Injured Pilot to Take Mac

Capt. Ira c. Eaker, noted Army pilot,
will toss away his clutches tomorrow
morning, hop into a big Sikorsky am
phibian and fly Hanford MacNider from
Washington to Ottawa, the first Min
lister of this country to go by airplane.
to his diplomatic post at the capital
of another country.
Capt. Eaker, grounded and forced to
do what little getting about he has done
on crutches for the past week as the
result of a broken ankle he received
when he was forced to take to his para
chute to escape from an uncomfortable
pursuit plane over AnacoStia last week,
has surmounted some mighty big OBJ
stacles to make that trip for MFR. Mac
Nider, and the latter appreciates 1t,
but will have no other pilot.
Doing Friend a Favor.
So the two will take to the air from
Boiling Field tomorrow, the new Min
lister to Canada to reach his post by the
most modern of conveyanceS and the
flyer to do his friend favor.
Still unable to put an ounce OF weight
on the injured right ankle, Capt. Eaker
was forced late last week to forego Q.
trip he was to have made to the West
with F. Trubee Dawson, Assistant Sec
TebaTy OF WhE 4OI ANtnbAOAAJ 90 WAC A0N-
ter's pilot.
When the new Minister to Canada
decided to fly to his post he would have
no other pilot but Capt. Eaker, with
whom he has flown before and In whom
he has the utmost confidence. Capt
Eaker was anxious to accommodate Mr.
MacNider and Immediately set about
thinking up ways to do it.
With the help of MacNider and some
mechanical engineering advice at Boil.
ing Field the answer was found and
Capt. Eaker will make the trip.
Rigs Up Mechanical Device.
Capt Eaker has rugged up me-
chanical device which will take all the
strain off his broken right ankle while
flying and at the same time give him
the ability perfectly to control his
planes foot controls with his right leg.
A sort of aluminium auxiliary leg has
been devised one which will put the
point of any pressure exerted by the
flyer far up on his thigh, and leave the
broken ankle, in cost, resting easily
inside the auxiliary leg.
Capt Eaker tried the auxiliary leg
this morning and found his device works
perfectly in flight.

Nine. Rudnay August 16.
BY the Associated Press.

BRIGHTON, England, August 49,
The mystery surrounding the marriage
of Archduke Albrecht Of Hungary was
cleared with the announcement today
that he was welded to Nine. Rudnay,
former wife of a Hungarian diplomat,
here on August IS, before Registrar
Horace Burfleld.
Local records show that the archduke
was here, residing at local hotel, for
a fortnight previous to his marriage and
that Mime. Rudnay was here also.
Other details of the ceremony were
lacking.
To make the Hungarian divorce his
wife the archduke was obliged to re-
nounce all his titles and privileges as
a member of the Hapsburg family.
Prince Otto, now the only hope of
the Hungarian Legitinists, was said to
have bestowed the title of Countess
Lovary upon the bride of Albrecht, who
was known also as Irene Lelbach, a
connn,oner.
Previous reports had fixed the date
Of Albrecht's marriage as July 26, and

LIMA, August 26.--Of1cial announce
n1ent was made today that the cruiser
Almirante Grau, on which is quartered
former President Augusta B. Leguia,
'ihas surrendered"
Presumably, the Almirante Grau will
deliver the former President to the new
military junta in Lima, following re-
quests by students that Leguia be prose-
cuted.
The obscurity of political exile was
denied today to the deposed President
of Peru, who for IL years ruled this
country with an iron hand.
yielding to popular clamor, Gen.
Manuel Maria Ponce, head of the mill
tary junta which has replaced the old
government, promised mob Of students
in public address that Leguia would
be brought back to Lima to face pun
ishment for his ''misdeedS"
Martial law prevails in the capital as
q consequence of fighting in the streets
and at the home of the former PreSi-
dent yesterday. Several persons were
killed and injured.
A complicating factor has arisen In
what may signify break between the
military junta in charge here and the
southern, or AreQuipa, revolutionary
group headed by Col. Sanchez Cerro.
Many believe Col. Sanchez Cerro viii
refuse to recognize the authority of the
Lima junta and will insist upon validity
Of the government he has installed at
Arequipa.
There was some question when and
whether Col. Sanchez Cerro would ar
rive in Lima from Arequipa. It was
supposed his decision to come here, or to
oppose the regime established here,
would depend upon a conference with .
commission which is going to Arequipa
by plane today or tomorrow especially
to talk with him.
Promises to Punish Leguia.
Gen. Ponce's promise to punish
Leguia was made after an imposing
popular display in the course OF which
mob led by students gathered outside
the government palace and demanded
to see the junta leader.
According to a story credited to q
foreign consul at Callao, the CONF
nander of the Almirante Grau told
Leguia as the Almirante Grau left the
harbor that he was in accord with the
demand OF the southern leader, Col.
Sanchez Cerro; that Leguia be prose-
cuted, and that he would remain near
Callao Bay until Sanchez Cerro could
arrive from Arequippa or Mollendo.
The diplomatic corps met at the
papal legation and later, headed by the
nuncio, called en- maSse upon Gen.
Ponce at the palace to ask him for
guarantees of the right of asylum. Gen.
Ponce promised that all international
laws and courtesies would be observed
and assured them that any necessary
guarantees would be afforded the for
eign legations. It was reported that
some members Of the former regime
have taken refuge in the foreign en-
bassies and legations.
One of the first acts of the military
junta was to dissolve Congress and as
