which has ravaged Virginia for

Amendment Continuing Levies
of Baltimore and Annapolis
Is Voted Down by House

ANNAPOLIS, Md. April 4.-The
proposal to exempt the washing
ton, Baltimore, and Annapolis
railway from State, county, and
city taxes for a tWo-year period
stood it's first test in the House Of
Delegates last night. An amend
ment excluding Ann Arundel
county and the city of Annapolis
from the exemption was beaten
on the floor.
The bill was bitterly opposed by
Delegate Miller, of Ann Arundel
county, who declared that the
financial condition of the road
was ne fault of taxpayers, and
that it was unjust to make them
pay for the roads burden.
Would Continue Tax
Mr.. Miller suggested that the
Ann Arundel tax should go on,
and, if the condition of the road
did not improve over the two-year
period, a rebate on uncollected
taxes could be procured.
He pointed out that Annapolis
would lose more than $4,000 a
year through the exemption and
Baltimore $4,000, while other
counties concerned only realized
around $1,000 a year from the
roads taxes. Dissension was
voiced even in the Ann Arundel
county delegation, however, when
Delegate Turner expressed his ap-
proval of the bill and lent his aid
to the Baltimore city delegation
which is sponsoring the bill. 1t
was introduced by Senator Frick,
of Baltimore.
Need of Road Told
Delegate Oliver Metzerott, Of
Prince Georges, backed the bill
for that county. Mr.. Metzerott
said:
THE road is of vital import
ance to our coE1n unity. Its
continued operation is of more
import than the collection of
taxes which may force the COM
pany out of business"

GYPSY PRINCE FREED
OF BRIDE ABDUCTION
Bought Girl From Father, Who
Wanted to Sell Her Again,
Husband Says.
BY the Associated Press.


CINCINNATI, November l3-Federal
authorities yesterday upheld the gypsy
marriage of Ephriam Marks, 25, prince"
of wandering caravansary encamped
near here, and his 14-year-old bride,
Ruby Rance Of Brooklyn, N. Y.
The authorities dismissed kidnapping
charges brought against Marks by
Frank Rance, father of the bride, who
accused the bridegroom of snatching his
daughter off a Brooklyn street and
forcing her into unwelcome marriage.
Officers ignored Rancos abduction
charge after Marks explained he pre-
viously paid Rance $2,250 to marry the
girl.
"All gypsy men buy their brides"
Marks said, land paid Rance for
mine"
Marks said his father-in-law merely
wanted to obtain possession of his
daughter so he could sell her again,
alleging Rance tried the same thing on
a previous occasion
Rance claimed he searched three
months for Ruby.
Before he was released, gypsy anger
fiared up in JAIL where Marks slapped
his bride when she refused to be photo
graphed with him. Then he burst into
tears of remorse
