Judge Chestnut's finding, included
in an opinion filed in Federal court

largely upon the following two points
which he stressed:
/. The amendment removes the
protection which the laws of each
State give a contracting creditor anG
doubles the protection given a farm

Speaking Of
Things Political
YOU MAY NOT KNOW it b
By MONTCo

YOU MAY NOT KNOW it but
Judge Charles w. Woodward has
been turning back 1870 of his salary
since he was appointed to office to
the taxpayers. There are only eight
judges in Maryland who are doing
the same thing, to our knowledge.
How many office-holders voluntarily
Iact accordingly? And yet there are
those who speak of Judge Woodward
as a foreigner" because he came
here from Georgia over a decade
ago. Speaking of the Judge, reminds
us of true story which we heard
several times around Rockville. The
occasion was during the primary
election when Robert Peter, Jr., the
organization nominee, was opposed
by Charles W. Woodward, then a
young lawyer of very little acquaint-
ance throughout the country. He
had married a Poolesville girl but
was not known to any extent. Young
Bob Peter proved too strong for
Charlie and was nominated. But did
Charlie harbor a grudge? He arose
bright and early following election
day and presented himself to Mr..
Peter with the remark-as he took
off his coat-"Well, here 1 am, ready
to fight with you in November" 1t
lis just one of those little things
which have endeared the Judge to the
people in all of the country districts
which are expected to oppose his
candidacy this Fall. We believe that
the voters out in Laytonsville,
Brookeville, Poolesville and Clarks-
burg, etc., will not forget this sin
cere Democrat who pitched in and
aided his former opponent a num-
Der of years ago. Provided, there
are any Democrats left in the rural
districts.

The Mayor and Town Council

back water rents. Under the plan,
ST. will be assessed for non-pay-

At a meeting last night the
formation of a league of incor-

No action was taken, ii being

The Redland Hunt, according to a
story in the Washington Times at

Of the Redland Hounds, was organic

name from the vast acreage known as

the hounds did not run again until the

WATERWAY VOTE IS REGARDED AS
 DISAPPOINTMENT
President Has Not Given Up Fight-Will Carry
 on the Struggle

Washington, Mar. 15-(UP)- Advocates of St Lawrence water way development said today that defeat of the proposed waterway treaty should be regarded as a postponement rather than aband- onment of the seaway project.
 "We have only begun to fight" said Charles P. Craig, of the Great Lakes-St Lawrence Tidewater as- sociation.
 "Our opposit ion has now come into the open. The president has not abandoned his determination and we shall support him until the day this treaty is ratified"
 The treaty which the senate yesterday refused to ratify is not dead. I may be revived at any time unless it's opponents are suc- cessful in parliamentary moves de- signed to shelve it permanently. While proponents command a ma- jority of votes in the senate it will not be possible to sidetrack the treaty definitely.
 Supporters came out of the fight with 46 votes. They needed 59 to ratify-two-th thirds of those present. There were AZ votes against.
 Failure of the senate to ratify the seaway treaty only postpones the inevitable fulfllment of tho seaway," Craig said. We have seen reflected in actual senate votes the clear lines of opposition as represented by the coalition of special interests so knit into an unholy alliance of political oppor- tunism, as to defeat the will of the

Deportation of a number of for. eigners regarded as being in danger of becoming permanent public charges was advocated here to-day by several prominent citl- zens. A check-up has been made of lodgers at St Johns parish house and the Chase company's temporary quarters with the result that several destitute men are willing to return to their native lands, if,the authorities would fur nish the necessary transportation.
 One Russian has been found who claims that he owns a farm in his home province. Another has been here for twenty years and has never been made a citizen. Both are on the list who have so- licited the aid of friends to in- terest the city or state authorities in having them sent back.
 It is generally figured by wel- fare authorities that it would be a good move, financially, to furnish the one-way ticket. It would save the community the expenses of carrying them through the re- mainder of the depression and af- ter in later years when they be- come too old or infirm to work for a living.

order pending further information. The men, apparently, will be trans ferred from their present positions under the CWA to 8 work pro- gram that will be effective under the EZRA.
 The original order dissolving the CWA by the 31st made it apparent that the 1900 or 1900 men on the list would be thrown out of work and, therefore, would have to be taken care of by the Mutual Aid or the city. If the city took care of them it would have to conduct public projects and pay two-thirds of the cost, besides supplying ma teria1s and tools, and would be reimbursed for the other one-third by the EZRA.
 The latest information, although not very definite in detail, would allow the men to be transferred to certain work programs which would be financed by the federal government almost in the same manner that the present CWA forces financed. V
 However, many new hands would have to be hired, to take care of such details as payrolls. account ing, time-keeping and so forth.
 MT Harris was ready today to pay off the men who shoveled snow during the receint blizzard period and who had been refused pay by the CWA officials. The men, 39 in number, did their work but the CWA administration has claimed that they were on the job in excess of the quota allowed for Water bury after a cut had been ordered in the midst of snow removal &C., tivities.

New York, March 15.-(UP)- The difficult task of speeding up justice, simplifying legal proceed ure, and 'purging the profession of it's unworthy members" is one that cannot be delayed, Attorney Gen. eral Homer s. Cummings warned the New York County Lawyers as- sociation in an address last night.
 The activities of lawyers "who seek to bridge the gap between re- spectability and crime," have brought reproach upon the profess sion, the cabinet official told 800 guests at the silver jubilee dinner of the association.
 "The cost of crime has cast upon the people of the United States an annual burden of appalling pro- portions,' he said. ''In nearly every sizable community heavy tribute is exacted from honest en- terprise by the threats and vio- lence of the racketeer."
 Cummings deplored the dis tressing breakdown of law enforce ment agencies in many sections" and condemned what he termed the alliance between the lower grade of politicians and the crim- inal classes" On the subject of the laws delay, he said:
 T am persuaded that if the federal courts could reform their procedure and render it not only simpler but more responsive to &C., tual needs the example of such a system would have powerful and corrective effect upon the practice in the several states"
 The attorney-general criticized , the statutory prescription of legal procedure and pleaded for the manifest advantages of a system under which rules are adopted by the courts"--a system which he said, has proved successful in Eng land
