BALTIMORE, September 16.-Fol-
lowing Maryland's vote this week for
repeal of the eighteenth amendment by
the unprecedented majority of to /,
Gov Richie, who was the pioneer advo-
cate of this action among national or
State officials of high standing, i'm
mediately started to work on legisla-
ton which would be necessary to govern
the sale Of liquor in Maryland and an
nounced he would call a special ses-
sion of the Legislature in December to
pass laws governing its sale in the
State.
That Gov Ritchie is highly elated
over the result in Maryland, which
peal, setting a record for all States
so far voting on the question, goes with
out saying, but at the same time he is
going to have the Legislature pass laws
for its sale in Maryland, which will
prevent the return of the old wide-open
saloon, which in many instances openly
defied the law
In other words the Governor, now on
the verge of winning his 12-year fight
against the eighteenth amendment,
most Of which in the early stages was
practically a one-man fight, will not
have it nullified by the wide-open
saloon.
What I want to do is to find the
best plan for dealing with the return
of liquor after the repeal of the eigh-
teenth amendment" Gov. Ritchie said.
After the best plan is determined upon,
legislation to put it into effect will un-
doubtedly be necessary, and in that
case I will call the Legislature into
session"
Gov. Ritchie said that Attorney Gen
eral William Preston Lane, at his re-
quest, is now studying all forms Of
liquor control which have been or are
now in existence and added:
Three major questions present them
selves in the consideration Of what is
to be done after repeal.
THE first question is whether it is
possible to keep the sale of beer separate

from the sale Of liquor in order that
the benefits Of the free sale Of beer can
be continued.
THE second question is: Who is to
sell liquor? Shall it be sold by the State
under q dispensary system such as has
been adopted. I believe, for Delaware
and possibly some other States, or shall
it be sold by private interests? That is
a question that will demand long con-
sideration
THE third question is: How about
the saloon? Is that method Of distribu-
ton to be permitted, or how are the re-
tail sales to be made?"
All of the questions are to be delved
into, Gov. Ritchie said, in the search
for the best possible plan for this State
He said the problem deserves and
ought to get" painstaking and unhurried
consideration, and he said he did not
believe that haste was called for.
Everybody with ideas on the subject
ought to be heard" he said. There is
no rush. It will be almost January be-
fore repeal is accomplished, so there Is
no requirement that the Maryland plan
be decided upon in day or two"
Political associates of the Governor,
however, maintained the belief that the
special session will be held late next
an approximate date.
In Baltimore City the result showed
majorities from 10 to l to as high as
66 to /. the latter being the third con-
gressional district, district made up
entirely of Italians and of which Con-
gresham Vincent L. Palmisano is the
representative.
OF the entire State, consisting of %
counties and Baltimore City, only two
counties voted dry. both on the Eastern
Shore, Dorchester by majority of only
277 and Somerset by a.. All the rest Of
the Eastern Shore. long regarded by the
anti-Saloon League as its private do
minion, voted to abandon prohibition.
The counties of Southern Maryland
were unanimous in registering wet ver-
diets, ST. Marys leading the parade with
a repeal vote of 18 to l that surpassed
the Baltimore record of slightly more
than 10 to l.

TOSALES TAXN

BY J. H. GALBRAITH.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, September 16.-It
looks as if Ohio, after hanging back for
months, would join the procession of
other States and resort to the general
sales tax to obtain much-needed addi-
tional revenue
Three months ago when Gov. White
recommended this tax to the Legis-
lature it was rejected by an over
whelming majority. Having exhausted
other sources and with the necessity of
securing an additional eight and half
millions for weak school districts the
LEGISLATORS, meeting firm resistance from
special interests upon which it has been
proposed to place some tax burden, are
gradually changing their stand. They
explain that it is expected to be mere
stop-gap until the Legislature, at its
regular session. can give the general
subject of taxation thorough study.
The retail trades associations, fearing
that once adopted the sales tax will
never be wholly discarded, are still
fighting the proposition.
DR.. Watson Honored.
The Democrats of Hancock County
rendered a dinner last Wednesday eve
ming at Findlay to DR.. Carl Watson,
newly chosen Democratic State chair
man. and the function was attended by
10th Gov. White and Senator R. J.
Bulkley. It is apparent that the Gov
ernor and the Senator in the new set
up of the State organization have 1t
we'll within their joint control. and it
will be hard for the anti-organization
element of the party to get foothold.
Excited comment resulted here this
week when it was found that Jacob
Nesbitt serving a life sentence in the
Ohio Penitentiary for the murder of his
wife in 1926, has been living without
the walls for many weeks. acting as the
chauffeur of former Representative
John McSweeney. now director of State
welfare Eoth Nesbitt and his wife
were recent graduates Of Ohio State
University. and sWeethearts in their
campus DAYS. The murder was very
like that of the Lamsons on Stanford
University campus in California. Mrs:
Nesbitt's battered body being found
in the bath room Of their bungalow
home in Troy. Ohio.
It was not until several weeks after
the tragedy that suspicion pointed to
the husband. but the evidence against
him then developed so fast that he
weakened, confessed that following
quarrel he killed her, and pleaded guilty
to murder in the second degree. with
out a trial He has been model pris-
oner, and it now develops that friends
have been trying to obtain a pardon
for him for some time. but, being ad-
vised that the feeling against him at
Troy was too high, had desisted.
Embezzler Loses Parole.

days before it was to take effect.

w Between 300 and 500 houses. to
rent from sl7.5O to s2250 month, will
be built in Wilmington if present plans
of Mayor William H. Speer and the
City Council for the municipal pro-
gram under the national recovery act
are carried through.
This project, to be handled through
the Housing Commission Of Delaware,
is an outgrowth Of survey made OF
housing conditions by special COM
mittee appointed in 1882 by Gov. c.
Douglass Buck. The survey showed
this city is greatly in need OF low
priced housing and that, through the
depression, vacancies in Wilmington
were below the normal United States
average for good times"
With plans for the proposal in pre-
liminary stages only, no figure has been
set as to the amount which would be
asked of the Federal Government in
the form of a loan under the N. r. A.
The mayor and his advisers indicate.
however, that the plan will be a prin-
cipal objective in the city's efforts to
participate under the recovery funds.

TRENTON, N. j., September 16.-A
move by high officers of the New
Jersey National Guard to convert the
1920 Cavalry Regiment into light
artillery has been abandoned for the
present The proposed conversion pre-
cipitated a prolonged controversy dur
ing the Summer field training work,
which has just been completed.
Opposition of Col Lewis B. Ballan-
tyne of Newark, regimental commander,
to the conversion was responsible for
abandonment of the plan. Col. Ballan-
tyne, a former Assemblyman and in
fluential in the Democratic party, is a
personal friend of Gov. A. Harry Moore.
The conversion could not be carried
out under the national militia act except
with approval of the Governor.
The 102d Cavalry, known as the
Essex Troop. is recognized as one Of
the crack cavalry regiments in the
National Guard service. 1t was the
first organized and Federally recognized
under the postwar reorganization, but
yielded the coveted 101 number to a
New York regiment on basis of friend
ship on Ballantyne's part.

State" into the ranks of repeal this
week has already set underway plans
for liquor control legislation which will
take the place of the prohibition act
that for 13 years bore the former Min
nesota Representatives name.
The almost two-to-one vote of Min
nesota for repeal, although far short OF
the sweeping wet majorities registered
in many States. represents the greatest
reversal of sentiment on public issue
recorded in the State in many years.
With heavy, dry voting prohibition

for adoption of a State prohibition
amendment in 1918 At that time the
prohibition forces carried So against %

ment failed only because the volume of
the vote on the issue failed to meet the
percentage Of the total vote cast at the
election that is required to amend the
State constitution. Hennepin, the
largest county in the State, containing
the city of Minneapolis, voted for pro-
hibition almost to 2.

At last Tuesdays election when the
populace renounced the Volsteadian era
by a vote of almost 2-to-1, Hennepin

GARDEN

The large crowds that are at- tending the New Garden theater on Thursday and Friday bear wit ness to the fact that Manager Hal- liwell's efforts to add variety to Waterburians' diet of entertain ment somewhat by presenting flesh and blood on the stage is being appreciated and as he personally selects the four vaudeville acts each week, you are practically sure of seeing the best there is from the acts that are touring the big gest vaudeville theaters.
 Booked for today and tomorrow is Al Ruskin and Company, pre- senting Youth and Pep; Douglas and Brooks in 'Dumber Than That; Billy White offering Songs and Stories and Kit Kat'', and Grille presenting Black Tom and "The Dancing Girl'. Playing for the vaudeville is Unico Barone, pianist, Joe Divito, violinist, and leader, and Sherwood Beardsley, rhythm. A combination that couldn't be improved on in the en- tire world of vaudeville musicians.
 Headlining on the screen is NO torious But Nice", which presents new angle on raoketeering. In this picture love is the basis of the racket, which Marian Marsh, Bet ty Compson, and Rochelle Hudson work to profitable advantage. Among others in the cast are Don- aid Dillaway, Robert Ellis, Dewey Robinson, and John St Polls.
 Heading the featurettes is Harry Langdon in "The Stage Hand" and Louis Sobel in Down Memory Lane" with Texas Guinan and Her Gang. It's a great show and don't forget that you get it at the New Garden, {" Live and let live prices.

He also il- lustrated these virtues as they ap- piled to present day personal lives, concluding with the lesson to be drawn from the life of Mary, mother of God, Tn the possession of these and other virtues.

PALACE

The two selected features at Polls starring Lillian Harvey in My Lips Betray" and Richard Dix in "Day of Reckoning" will be presented again today and to- morrow.
 Starting Saturday the picture that everyone will want to see "Hoopla" with fiery and impes- stoned, Clara Bow, who has reach- ed new heights as an emotional actress in her latest screen suc- cess.
 "Hoopla" is splendid produc- ton that delves deeply into the inside life of the "big top" It of fers Clara Bow a marvellous oppor-
 tunitY to display her histrionic abilities.
 The story concerns itself with a vivacious young carnival dancer who, on a bet, attempts to win the love of a young man who is the carnival barkeris son. It is not difficult task for this finished siren, and she soon captures the heart of the boy. But the sheer ity of the ,youngster and his naive manner work a change in the na- ture of the dancer, and she fnds herself involved in a true romance.
 The boys father objects to the affair, and there follows series of thrilling incidents which are capped by a climax that is the outstanding one among all the Clara Bow classics.
 As the carnival dancer, Clara Bow plays her role with astonish- ing versatility and finish. It is by far the most important production she has had to date, and she car- ries her part with remarkable re- suits. The supporting members or the cast are Preston Foster. Rich-

 Hollywood = The big topic of conversation in Hollywood to-day is old John Barleycorn. We can go back to the gold standard, Jack Dempsey can challenge Primo Car nera, Wall street can do what it p1eases. the Rose Bowl committee can pick the teams for the annual New Years Day scuffle = all of those things simply turn into un- important incidents.
 The only thing which counts to- day in Hollywood is liquor.
 Of course they'll go on making pictures out here, but the chief conversation will center around What's your favorite drink ?" Why. up at Del Monte, a few hun dred miles from here, they've even organized National Association for the Advancement of the Fine Art of Drinking, with judges 'n' everything to select the most tasty drinks.
 Keeping all that in mind, 1t seems more or less fitting = if not proper-to dig up the favorite recipes of a few screen celebrities. Hope you like the idea-and I'll also be interested in learning how you like the drinks.
 East Side Stuff
 Norma Shearer's favorite is a frappe consisting of one part cog mac. one part grapefruit juice, and sugar to suit your taste.
 Stuart Erwin and June Collyer have drink which they call an }afc af frryn- thirds bourbon and one-third Iver- mouth. Shake well and put on ice until thoroughly chilled, and then add a sprig of mint.
 Wynne Gibson favors an "xYZ" cocktail, made with one-half ba- cardi. one-fourth cointreau, and one-fourth lemon juice. Stir this well and strain into cocktail Tempting the Gods
 Sally O'Neil's favorite is a "F'al- len Angel" made with two-thirds gin, one-third grapefruit and pine- apple juice, and just enough creme de menthe to color and flavor it. Add ice and shake well.
 Jack Oakie prefers a lime cock tail, made as follows. Steep one lime in small glass of boiling wa ter and sweeten to taste. Pour that into cocktail shaker filled with shaved ice and add four ponies of gin and four dashes of bitters. Shake it well.
 Here's One With a Kick
 Even the Brown Derby has a speciality, which it calls Planters Punch." This is made with Q digger of brandy, juice of three Times, a dash of grenadine, and Jamaica rum fioated on top. This is served in tall glass filled with shaved ice and garnished with cherries and a slice of orange.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-12-07

Considerable speculation was heard in Waterbury today as to what extent President Roosevelts action of late yesterday in setting up a National Emergency Council and naming Frank s. Walker ex- ecutive director with absolute pow CT over all other chiefs of federal emergency relief bureaus will af- feet local members of the national recovery system. Statewise it Is fig ured that pr Edward G. Dolan of Manchester, revenue chief for Con- necticut, who has been serving as state MIRA chairman. will come un- der the authority of a superior of ficer in the state as soon as the machinery of the new council is set up.
 One of the features of the set up of the new council will be the appointment of directors in each state and also the selection of sub councils for each county. Reports from Washington are that William S. Meaney, democratic town chair man of Greenwich, will be named director of Connecticut. He was 8 candidate for state treasurer in 1924 and at the convention in New London refused the nomination for state controller. He was formerly postmaster, under the Wilson ad- ministration, in Greenwich.
 It is believed that with the nam- ing of the new director for the state John H. Goss and William M. Harris of this city, who have been prominent in MIRA and CWA work vii leone under the Jurisdiction of MT Meaney. Other recovery officials throughout the state are also ex- pected to become answerable di- rector to the executive director of the National Emergency Council.
 Another report from Washington which held much interest here to- day was the one to the effect that Thomas M. Hewes of Pennington,
