BY Staff Correspondent of The Star
ANNAPOLIS, Md, February 24.-Re-
duction in the State budget totaling
s3, 900, ,O00-including a cut of s466,000
in the State appropriation to the Uni
-versity of Maryland-are to be recon-
mended by Gov. Albert C. Ritchie to
the Senate Finance and House Ways
and Means Committees at joint meet
ing this afternoon, it was learned from
sources close to the Governor today. .
It was further declared that he Will
recommend no new taxes except one OF
l per cent on race track bets, which
would provide an additional fund OF
approximately 100000 for the State
treasury.
The most drastic cut. it was learned,
will be applied in all departments and
agencies of the State government with
a few salary slashes recommended on
a graduated scale up to Is per cent
in some cases.
The University of Maryland will be
hard hit under the recommendation
to be made by the executive this aft
ernoon. It was disclosed that he Will
advocate a slash of 40 per cent, or
S466 ,00O in the appropriation contained
in the original budget Supm1Iteo To tne
State Legislature.
The pool of 100000 which the
Governor is authoritatively said to have
created by his reduction will be divided
between Baltimore City and the coun-
ties, $l,50O,000 to each. The money
will be expended in Baltimore to retire
unemployment relief bond issues and
in the counties to reduce the school
tax from Ct to 40 cents.

He stopped his automobile and, tell
ing his uncle, Maj. B. L. Eaton, U. S. A,
retired, to keep an eye on 1t, ran to
the railing. Helplessly splashing about
in the water below he saw Mrs. Price.
At about the same time her cries
were heard by John Brewster, fire
control man at the Naval Receiving
Station, who was playing tennis on the
Navy Yard courts. Taking off his
jumper and shoes, he ran to the river
and plunged in. He, was followed by
two other sailors of the same rank,
Hugh Moore, "a, and Edward Cragen,
%. Brewster, an excellent swimmer.
soon outdistanced his companions and
they decided to turn back.
AS Brewster pulled himself toward
the drowning girl, bridge attendants
threw life preservers to her, but she ap-
parently was too weak to seize them.
Meantime Bunch had run to dredge
on the other side of the river, followed
by Tapponier and several other would
be life-savers. Near the dredge, Bunch
found rowboat He pushed it cut into
the water and jumped in, and Tap
ponier and the others did likewise.
While he was rowing toward Mrs
Price, Brewster reached her. BY this
time she was in a emi-conscious con-
dition, and the sailor was not able to
make much progress toward shore. Just
then, however, the boat pulled up be-
side the sailor and the girl, and they
were pulled aboard by Bunch and Tap
ponier.
The fire rescue squad-summoned by
somebody in the crowd that had gath
ered-took Mrs. Price to the hospital
where physicians said she would be all
right, barring pneumonia, which Is not
considered likely.
Tapponier, like Bunch, had parked
his car in a prohibited area when he
heard Mrs. Prices yells When he re-
turned to the machine, he found that q
jealous policeman had tagged it.
That was bad enough, he thought,
but, to make matters worse, his over
coat, containing about ST, had been
stolen. He felt little better, however,
when an officer promised to "try to fix
the ticket up"
Bunch also came within an ace OF
getting ticket, according to his uncle
While Bunch was gone, Mai. Eaton said,
policeman threatened to tag the auto
mobile, but was dissuaded.
At the hospital, Mrs. Price was joined
by her husband, with whom she said
she had qlarreled a short time before
her plunge from the bridge. She said
she lived at 1921 Chicago street south
east, but one of the two families living
there-also named Price-declared she
and her husband were "only casual ac-
quaintances" and did not make their
home there. The couple is said to have
come here from West Virginia few days
ago.

DEFENDS DRY LAWS
At DISTRICT RALLY.
Or. Francis D. NichoI Cites
Alliance Between the Sa-
loon and Vice.
Conditions before national prohibition

Conditions before national prohibition
were roundly scored and prohibition
was stoutly defended at a temperance
rally at Washington Heights Presby-
terian Church last night under auspices
of Kalorama Heights Union OF the
Women's Christian Temperance Union.
DR.. Francis D. Nichol, associate edi-
tor of the Review and Herald Publish
ing Association, of Takoma Park,
painted a vivid picture Of conditions
in the days Of the saloon charging
there was an alliance" between the
saloon and vice.
The "clamor" for repeal of prohibi-
ton he characterized as "unreasoned, !"
and charged that otherwise calm peo-
pie" were being stampeded into taking
the wet viewpoint.
Sharply attacking the alliance OF
vice, crime and BOOZE" the speaker. de-
clared that national prohibition had
struck it down." and driven it into
the alleys. Even though it does still
have some headway today" he de-
clared, "it has not one tithe the strength
it had before"
Quotes Documents.
DR.. Nichol quoted at length from
several documents he had found during
extensive research and study OF the
prohibition situation, using these quo
tations to describe what he called the
"lawlessness" before prohibition. He
referred to the Distillers' Journal OF
1916, and the report of an investigation
of the social evil in Chicago by the
mayor and City Council to describe the
connection between the social evil and
the saloon" Using Chicago as "ex-
hibit A" because he said the vets had
used 1t as horrible example Of what
prohibition had done to an American
city, DR.. Nichol quoted at length from
oficial investigations and wet" news
papers to show the activity OF crime
in that city before prohibition. In
Chicago, he charged, there had been
1000 saloons and that an official re-
port showed that AS saloons on three
streets in Chicago had contributed to
the delinquency Of $4,000 girls every
"a hours.
Speakeasies dated back to 1890, DR..
Nichol said, quoting from the Philadel-
phia Evening Star Of that year con-
cerning the "speakcasies of the city"
Blind pigs f1ourished before prohibition
In Chicago. he said, according to OFF,
cial Investigations.
Canon william Sheafe Chase, super
intendent Of the International Reform
Federation, charged that the vets were
clamoring for States rights in order

to break up the Federal power into 4a
could thus be more easily defeated.
1.-THE united liquor crowd knows they
can't win against the Federal Govern
ment," he said, 80 by fooling the. peo-
pie with States rights, they are trying
to divide the Federal power into 46
States so they can fight them one by
one.
1.-THE corruption Of politics Is the
cause Of our trouble now" charged
Canon Chase. Prohibition has not
failed. The alliance Of corrupt ma
chimes Of the two political parties has
Congressman to do what they did not
want to do. They have forced Con-
gressmen, dry at heart, sent here by
dry constituencies, to vote wet" Canon
Chase called upon the American peo-
pie to turn to God in the fight, and
make use of religion to defeat the
liquor traffic. He announced the dry
convention to be held March z and
at Calvary Baptist Church.
Charles M. Pidgeon of the Society of
Friends attacked the Black bill to
bring back beer to the District of CO.
lumbia, declaring it would "debauch''
part of the citizenry here. He scored
the author with lack of intelligence,
and declared that in the National Cap
ital there should be sold no beer, wine,
or any kind of alcoholic beverages. He
highly praised prohibition.
