Before most Americans more than

Today, the SUI had barely peeped

Mr.. Hoover turned toward the
capital with fresh knowledge OF pro-
blems which confront his admin

Nider, American minister to Can

Both MacNider and Col. Theodore
Roosevelt. governor of Porto Rico.
were among those who fought with
Pres. Hoover at the American Le-

Speculation that veterans legisla-

ANT|-BLUE LAW
DEFEAT LOOMS

BALTIMORE, March 30.-This
city's chances of being granted
home rule on the open or closed
Sunday question is engaging
added interest, with a check-up of
the members Of the General AS
sembly over the weekend indicat-
ing that support of the proposed
measure has dwindled.
Advocates of the measure that
would put the matter of Sunday
regulations for Baltimore in the
hands of the mayor and the city
council say that in the senate 1t
is probable that the necessary Is
votes will be lacking, although l9
senators were said to be willing
to vote favorably week ago.
Observers say that any Sunday
legislation passed will probably
be under the Michel bill, which is
expected to be reported out Of
committee with amendments
which will make this proposal
practically a new bill.
The Michel measure is State
wide in scope and would grant
local option to all counties and
towns of more than 5000 popula-
ton on the question of Sunday
amuSementS and sales.
