MUCH TALK In
CONGRESS OVER
SPEEDING WORK
PROTEST HEARD ALL ALONG
LINE RELATIVE TO LIMITED
DEBATE ON MANY TOPICS
OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
BY HERBERT PLUMMER
GIy Associated PreSSD

WASHINGTON, June Is
House members who had been
blinking their eyes in something
akin to amazement at the appar-
ent change in the way their lead
ers were dealing with them are
face to face it'll realities once
more.
For several weeks the cry had
been loud and insistent on CAPT
tol hill that this thing of rail
reading legislation through the
house with debate limited to a
minimum and with the power of
amendment denied should be stop
ped.
In some Is different instances,
the "rebels" explained, during the
special session, the democratic
! leaders had resorted to such tao
tics. On many occasions they
had been prepared to do the same
thing, but found it unnecessary.
The mere fact that the house knew
the leaders could do it, perhaps,
kept the issue from being forced.
But the signs of discomfort be-
came more ominous. Word got
| around that the democratic lead
ership was in for a licking if they
tried such a course again.
Easing Up a Bit
A sort of rump caucus on how
the veterans were being handled
under the economy act was held.
At another time the house mem
bers got together to discuss the
antitrust provisions in certain
legislation. And then Postmaster
! General Farley came up and held
a little meeting in which he dis
cussed patronage with them.
There were indications that the
leadership saw these signs and
needed them.
The administrations farm cred
it bill was in the offing. Out it
came onto the floor-one of the
most important measures of the
Presidents legislative program
without special rule limiting de-
bate and shutting off amend
ments. 1t was passed in one day
and the only change smade were
/ those approved by the commit
tee in charge of it.
Then came the Presidents all
important railroad legislation and
it went to the floor in the same
manner. Amendments could be
offered under the five-minutes
debate rule.
Short-lived utilization
Smiles and enthusiasm over
what they thought was triumph
have disappeared now. President
Roosevelt's ultimatum that either
! they had to stick by him on the
economy act with respect to the
reduction of payment to veterans
or raise millions in new taxes
changed things.
Furthermore there are indica-
| tions that other important mes
sages may go up from the White
House before congress is adjourn
ed. That may cause more trouble.
| Will the leadership again find
it necessary to make move to
clamp down with an iron 'hand
when and if the emergency arises?

TODAY'S HOROSCOPE

A comparatively quiet position
in life is the lot of this person, un-
less supported by other good as
poets, but there are ready SYM
pathies and perhaps some unsatis-
fled yearnings. There will be a
multitude of friends, attracted by
the jovial, social nature, and they
will be very unselfish comrades,
ever ready to share the good
things of life. Altogether, it is a
strong, desirable existence.

SIXTY-THREE PASS FIRST
INSPECTION OF POTATOES
Seventy-Five Applied for Certi-
Observation-Disclosures Is About
Same as Last Year
POTATO CROP is AVERAGE

That GO of the Is potato producers
of the county who had applied for the
certifcation of SEED from the Univer-
sity of Maryland Extension Service
had passed the first inspection was
announced by John H. Carter, county
agent. Twelve were disqualified on
account of numerous diseases.
An insect known to be the leaf hop
per was found to be very severe ac-
cording to DR.. R. A. Jehle, plant path
ologist, in charge of the inspection,
and he stated that unless the vines
were thoroughly sprayed the fields
would have to be disqualified on the
next inspection. DR.. Jehle and his
assistant, John W. Heuberger, will be
in the county for their second inspec-
ton during the week of August IA.
Although the number applying for
certification decreased, the acreage
has increased. Last year 60 out Of
u pdooSu OH HloPSSllOiio anu Vic
acreage was 1T Sd, with IS acres
disqualified.
This year rs applied for inspection.
Twelve were disqualified on the first
inspection. One hundred thirty acres
passed inspection and approximately
SO acres have already disqualified.
Disease control is important and
must be practiced closely by the seed
growers if they expect to produce
certified seed that will meet market
requirements, Mr.. Carter stated. Mr..
Carter has written to all applicants
advising them of the disease found in
this years first inspection. In gen.
eral the potato crop looks promising,

PUREBRED RAM SHOW AND
SALE SCHEDULED AUG. 26
Sheepmen Said to be More En-
thusiastic This Year Than Last

The third annual purebred Ram
Show and Sale will be held in Oak
land Saturday, August 26, John H.
Carter, county agent, has announced.
Sheepmen are more enthusiastic than
they have been for years, Mr.. Carter
stated, due to improvement in lamb
and wool prices. Those in charge are
expecting it to come up to the mark
of former years as an outstanding
livestock event here.
During the two previous years
about so purebred rams have been ex-
hibited and disposed of at the Oakland
Show and Sale. These have improved
the quality of market lambs produced
and the amount and quality of wool
produced in this section, according to
Mr.. Carter.
1t was also said that wool clipped
in fiocks where good purebred rams
have been used over a period of years
has increased from an average of
about 5 pounds per head to about 8
pounds per head. At present market
prices, each eve is returning about
$1OO more per year than formerly
from wool alone.
The Show and Sale are scheduled
for 1870 p. m. the same place as last
year.

WESTERNPORT MINER
ACCIDENTALLY KILLED
Floyd w. Groves, %, Dies From
Wounds in Head When Gun
Discharges

Floyd w. Groves, aged %, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. James s. Groves, Poplar
street, Westernport, was accidently
killed Saturday shortly past noon,
when shot in the head with bullet
from a % calibre rifle in the hands
of Foster Daniels, also of Western
port.
The accident occurred while the
young men were hunting for ground
hogs about a mile west of Frankville,
Md, in Garrett county, six miles
above Bloomington.
Authorities, including Deputy Sher-
iff Samuel Cole, States Attorney w.
W. Dawson, and Charles F. White,
acting coroner, investigated the shoot
ing and exhonorated Daniels, ruling
that the shooting was accidental.
According to authorities, they
learned Daniels and Groves left home
early Saturday morning to hunt for
groundhogs, and had met Junior
Warwick, another youth of near
Bloomington. Warwick was also hunt
ing and was carrying the % rifle
About noon the three young men
stopped along the B. & o. tracks to
eat their lunch at the place where the
accident later occurred. After COM
pleting their meal, Warwick asked
Daniels to hold the rife while he
walked down the tracks to get drink
of water. Daniels, holding the rifle,
started to rise, when the hammer of
the gun caught in strap around his
waist to which he attached his dog.
The gun was discharged, the bullet
entering Groves head near the temple,
as he was seated on the track. Groves
made no cutlery and, it is believed,
was instantly killed. His companions
took the body to the office of DR.. P.
E. Berry on a railroad motor car that
was passing, and the physician pro-
nounced the young man dead.
Groves had been employed at Pied
mont as coal miner by Martin Will
cox Coal company. Besides his par
ents he is survived by four brothers,
Harvey Groves, Luke; Frederick
Groves, Brownsville, Pa; and Scott
and Luther Groves, Westernport; and
one sister, Mrs. Lena Otto, Swanton.
