With the District Health Depart.
mcnt and the public school sys-
tenn, the three little children Of
Mrs. Jessie Hatton OF the $500
block of N. st. N. W., have been
kept from attending classes for
the past three weeks.
Mrs. Hatton said today that
four weeks ago her Oldest son
Edwin, 81, suffered acute tonsilitis
and it was thought at first that
he had diphtheria.
While Mrs. Hatton was at the
hospital with her sick boy a week
later. her home was visited by a
health officer who examined an
other son Welby, IL.
Mrs. Hatton declares that the
lext day, Welby, who attends the
Curtis School and Charles, 8, who
attends the Curtis-Hyde school
were refused admittance to classes
on the ground that there was
diphtheria in their family.
Pearl, S, who was to have been
entered was also at the house at
the time the health officer visited
it and Mrs. Hatton said that she
nes held up her plans to send the
little girl because of the visit.
Since then, Mrs. Hatton says,
she has been trying to get her
children back in school out has
not succeeded.
At the Health Department to-
day it was said that after the first
visit by the health officer, a sub
Sequent one was made, but he
failed to find anyone home. The
department is waiting to hear
from the mother so as to examine
the children and permit them to
return if they are in good health.
Mrs. Hatton said she had called
the District Building several times
but could not find out what TO do
to get her children in school.
The children are to be taken to
the Health Department for an
other examination today to
straighten out the matter.

CROWDS CHEER
. GOV. R|TCH|E

BALTIMORE, Oct. 29.-Making
q last whirlwind circuit of Balti.
more, Gov. Albert c. Ritchie last
night defended his position on
the dry law question and pleaded
for reelection.
Making nine addresses during
the tour of the city, the governor
was greeted by cheering thou
sands and by old-fashioned torch
light parades. Speaking on the
prohibition question, he said:
I'VE have no State VOlstead
act in Maryland. And because
we have not our police have
been able to enforce the laws
that they should enforce, keep
ing the State free frcm' crime.
'The police respect the laws
they must enforce and the
people have respect for the
police and the laws they
enforce"
The governor denied the charge
made by Mayor William Broen-
ing, of Baltimore, Republican
gubernatorial candidate, that the
State had lost $1,25O,000 through
refusing to adopt the inheritance
tax law.
The law was adopted in 1929,
the governor pointed out, and is
retroactive on estates taxable in
1928. The matter was taken up
by the legislature in 1927, and
at that time it was not deemed
wise to adopt such a measure,
he said.
While Republican leaders claim
that Mayor Broening will win on
the Eastern Shore of Maryland,
Democratic leaders declare that
Governor Ritchie will receive the
largest majority there since 1926.
While the Eastern Shore is over
whelmingly Democratic, it is also
largely dry, and the Republicans
are counting on winning the dry
vote.
Democratic leaders, however.
point out that the dry question
is not an issue this year and
declare that for that reason the
governor will win.

Test Case Decision Expected
To Determine Other Cases
To Be Considered Today

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Oct. 80.
Democratic leaders today said that
they will ask the Maryland Court
of Appeals and possibly the United
States Supreme Court to rule on
the question of whether residents
of the District of Columbia who
live part of their time IN Mary
land are entitled to vote in that
State.
In a ruling handed down in the
Anne Arundel County Circuit
Court yesterday by Chief Judge F.
Neal Parke, the names Of 325
Washingtcnians, residents of sum-
mer colonies near here, who regis
tered to vote in the election next
week, will be stricken from the
books.
G. o. p. Back Of Move
The decision was given in the
case of Ralph D. Keagle, Wash
ington battery shop owner, who
said he lives in the summer time
at North Beach Park.
After hearing the evidence the
court sustained the plea Of the
Republican leaders to strike his
name from the list.
The other cases, under agree
ment between opposing attorneys,
will be taken up in groups today
and it Is expected that they will
all be decided before nightfall.
It is certain that the decision
in the Keagle case will govern
the action of the court in all
Of the other 324 cases.
The ruling affects thousands
Of voters who registered in Mary
land for the gubernatorial elec-
ton next Tuesday.
The court yesterday ruled that
the law passed by the legisla-
ture in 1929 was in conflict with
the Fourteenth Amendment by
denying rights to certain citizens
that were accorded others.
Two Counts Excepted
The act, the court explained,
excepted two counties, Baltimore
and Prince Georges, from its
provisions and provided a differ
ent rule for former citizens of
the different States moving into
Maryland and those coming from
the District.
The 1929 act sought to re-
move the one-year declaration of
intention clause.
