WANTS STATE BANKS OPEN
SAME time AS NATIONALS
Maryland Assembly Asks Pro-
lection For State Institutions
Proposes Scrip Plan
RELIEF MEASURE PASSED

Annapolis, March 8-A resolution
asking Congress to issue additional
circulating medium" and
to provide this currency to State and
National banks of Maryland at the
same time, was passed by the Mary
land General Assembly last night.
Presented a draft of the resolution
late in the day by E. Brooke Lee, adj
visor of Governor Richie, following
conferences with government officials
in Washington, the Legislature held a
night session in order to approve the
petition to Congress. Action in each
house was unanimous.
The measure was introduced in the
Senate by Chairman Lansdale G. Sas-
seer (Dem., Prince George's), of the
Finance Committee.
Chairman Sasscer then moved that
the rules be suspended and the resolu-
ton adopted. 1t was rushed through
to the House of Delegates for concur
rent action there.
The measure was called up in the
House by Delegate James ]. Lindsey
(Dem., Baltimore county,, chairman
of the Ways and Means Committee,
who moved that the rules be suspend
ed and the resolution be adopted.
This motion was concurred in and the
measure was sent to the Governor.
Relief Measure Passed
Maryland's emergency bank relief
measure became a law on Saturday,
March 4.
Although amended 10 times by the
Senate and 81 times by the House OF
Delegates, the proposal differed but
little from the original draft. The
new act makes John ]. Gringer, State
bank commissioner, a virtual direc-
tor over all the financial institutions
and places all of the banks in techni-
cal receivership under his control.
Chief among his problems was the
task of fixing a withdrawal percen-
tage for each bank.
State Budget Delayed
Further action on the budget meas
ure by the House and Senate COM
mittee awaited the preparation Of
amendments carrying out Governor
Ritchie's additional $3,000,000 reduc-
ton recommendations.
1t was the belief also that the COM
mittee would report to the Senate the
gasoline tax revenue distribution plan.

ARREST OF ALLEGED ARSON
GANG MADE BY OFFICIALS
Racket Thought To Have Been
Carried On For Several Years
Other Arrests Made

Following several months of in
vestigation here in regard to a num-
Der of fires, supposedly of inciendiary
origin, arrests of three men have been
made who are charged with aiding in
the burning of property.
Henry Menke, son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Reinhold Menke, of Garrett county,
was apprehended at Cassville, West
Va, on Monday and after pre-
liminary hearing, is ont on $4,000
bond. Carl Hardesty is in the county
jail in default of S1,500 bond, and
Elmer Maybe is out under bond of
$1,000.
1t is alleged that Menke arranges
for the burning of various properties,
and then receives part of the insur-
ance money as his payment. while
the owner of the property gets the
balance. A dwelling burned on the
property of Carl Hardesty recently,
and the house of Menke's parents was
recently consumed by flames. Others
are said to be mixed up in the affair,
and a thorough investigation is be-
ing continued by local authorities.
Held on Liquor Charge
James Nally was arrested yester-
day by Prohibition agent Lightborne,
charged with selling one pint OF
liquor to Charles Hayes, Federal
agent. Under a search warrant, three
more pints were discovered in Nally's
home, and he was held under $500
bond on charges of sale and posses
sion for the purpose of sale.
This is Nally's first offense under a
county charge. He was apprehended
some time ago under Federal
charge and released on payment Of a
fine of $40.

FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT
BECOMES 32ND PRESIDENT
Takes Oath of Office Admins
tered by Chief Justice Charles
E. Hughes at 1:06 P. nj.
PARADE FOLLOWS ADDRESS

Heartened by the cheers of
many thousands and the hushed
expectancy of millions far away,
Franklin Delano Roosevelt was
ushered to his place as Presi-
dent of the United States at the
inaugural ceremonies in Wash
ington at 1:06 P. NJ, on Satur-
day, March a.
He went first to the Church of
the Presidents for period of prayer
with members of his cabinet and his
family and from there to the Capitol
and the oath of responsibility with a
brief intervening stop at the White
House and a ride up Pennsylvania
Avenue beside President Herbert
Hoover. Charles Evans Hughes,
Chief Justice of the Unietd States
Supreme Court, administered the oath.
Standing on the east portoco of the
Capitol, Mr.. Roosevelt solemnly
pledged himself to assume unhesi-
tatingly the leadership of this great
army of our people dedicated to dis
ciplined attack upon our common
problems"
John N. Garner took the oath of
office as vice-president of the United
States at 1901 o'clock.
Even as the inaugural ceremonies
were beginning, the new President
was applying his energy to a recon-
struction of the banking situation,
with prospect of far-reaching action
before his administration was many
days old.
AS he conferred with his chosen
advisers at his hotel suite, Herbert
Hoover, half mile away in the White
House, was ending his four troubled
years of office. The whole inaugural
scene was overcast with feeling of
suspense and tense expectancy, but
nearly all of the estimated 100000
people present were hopeful and their
expressions were optimistic.
Following his induction into office
and his inaugural address, which is
printde on another page of The Re-
publican today, President Roosevelt
reviewed a parade many miles in
length, lasting until about six o'clock
in the evening.

JURORS FIND NICOLA HAS
ERRED IN INCOME REPORT
Convicted of Income Tax Evas-
ion Through Wrong Entry

F. F. Nicola, Pittsburgh real estate
operator, was found guilty Of evas-
ion of $26,394.20 income tax by a
Jury in the United States district
court at Pittsburgh. The jurors had
deilberated for almost % hours,
spending Wednesday night, March 1,
under guard of bailiff. The jurors
twice returned to the court room and
asked for instructions.
Attorney Joseph A. Richards, rep
resenting the defendant, announced
that a motion for new trial would
be filed within few days.
The charge against Nicola is based
on a bookkeeping transaction in which
he transferred a $101,250 voucher he
received from the Miller Printing
Machinery Company, of which he was
the largest stakeholder, to the &C
count of the Point Improvement Com
pany, in which he also was controll-
ing partner. The vouchers, it was
claimed by the Government, should
have been charged to Nicolas
personal account and should have been
added to Nicolas income tax returns.
If the conviction is sustained, the
Government will begin civil suit for
the payment of the alleged evaded
tax.
Mr.. Nicola is the owner of Rock
Lodge, on Meadow Mountain, near
Rittinger. which is his summer estate.
