Lowell Hash Gets
Year Sentence In
Staying OF Father
Court Overrules Motion For
New Trial; Leniency Request
Made

Lowell Hash, 22-year-old farm
worker who was recently found guilty
of ma nslaughter by jury in Circuit
Court here in the staying Of his faith
er, Edgar ]. Hash, Al, last June, was
sentenced by Judge Charles w. Wood
ward TO IL months in the Maryland
House of Correction.
The MAXIMUM penalty for man.
slaughter in Maryland is 10 years in
the penilentiary. Sentence was passed
after Judges Woodward and Willard
had overruled a motion for a new
trial and in announcing the courts
decision Judge Woodward stated that
in the opinion of the cour. the de-
PENDANT had more than fair trial
and that the jury had rendered a
proper verdict.
Before sentence was passed, Attor-
ney Albert M. Bouic, for the defense,
presented a petition signed by all
members of the jury which convicted
Hash, Police Chief Albert A. Moxley
and many citizens of the county, ask
ing leniency on the part of the court.
The request was Joined in by States
Attorney Stedman Prescott.
In passing sentence, Judge Wood
ward stated that the petition for
leniency and the pleas made by coun-
sci for the defendant and the States
\ attorney had much to do with what
he regarded as light sentence.
He said, though, that in the opinion
of the court the boy had used entirely
too much force in the alteration and
there was no good reason why the
boy killed his father.
1t was shown at the trial that dur
ing the alteration in a barn on the
farm near Ounce Orchard, young
Hash struck his father on the head
} with metal pipe, causing his death
three days later. The defendant claim
ed that he struck his father in self
defense.

William Garrett
Probable Choice
For Police Chief
VIM. L. Aud And Walter w.
Dawson Spoken OF For Other
Important Posts

It was held likely that the Board
of County Commissioners, meeting
today Thursday in regular session,
would appoint J. William Garrett, Of
Choppers, chief of police to succeed
Alive A. Moxley. For several weeks
the choice for the job has been be-
lieved to rest between Garrett and
William L. Aud. Garrett is a Republic
can and former Department Of the
Treasury employee, while Aud is
Democrat and former chief Of
police.
Aud, if Garrett is named police
chief, will in all likelihood be named
county assessor, 1t was learned yes
terday. Others who have been mem
toned for the police post have been
Peyton Whalen and Clay Plummer.
Walter w. Dawson, Rockville lawy-
err and chairman Of the Republican
State Central Committee for tho
county, is being prominently mem

Laboratory Work
OF Health Body
Increases Here
1902 Specimens Examined At
Rockville During Past
IL Months

The Laboratory of the Montgom-
cry County Health Department ex-
amined 1902 specimens de- the
first IL months of 1884, this being
an increase of 621 over the previous
year. The increase was due to the
large number of nose and throat
cultures examined for the presence
of diphtheria in connection with the
recent outbreak in the Rockville
area.
The Laboratory work increased in
the examinations to detect disease
carriers on dairy farms and in urine
analyses made in connection with the
maternal hygiene services.
The blood tests for the diagnosis
of typhoid fever were less than half
the previous year owing TO the reduc-
ton in prevalence of typhoid fever.
The examinations of milk samples
were also less than the previous
year.
While the Laboratory is operated
as part Of the County Health De-
partment, it is in reality branch of
the State Department of Health Lab
oratory and is financed almost en-
tirely by the State.
The two important functions are as
follows:
1. Aiding physicians in the
proper diagnosis of communicable
diseases and distributing preventive
vaccines and serums.
2. Analysis of samples of water
and milk from public supplies.
The Laboratory opened in June
1882 in quarters especially construct

Dawson Drops Move
For Vote Recount
For AttOrneyship
Courts Decision In Commissions
er Case Leads To Withdrawal
Of Petition

Walter W. Dawson has withdrawn
his petition for recount of the Mont
gomery County States attorney cleo
ton November 6 in which James Il.
Pugh defeated him by 46 votes.
The withdrawal was filed in Mont
gomery County Circuit Court at Rock
vile, by Kenneth Lyddane, attorney
for Dawson. Pugh was represented by
Isaac Loeb Straus, prominent recount
authority and former attorney gener-
al of Maryland.
Dawson declared that after thorough
investigation coupled with the courts
decision in the commissionership re-
count fight that he was of the opinion
no fraud was committed.
In the meantime, counsel for the
two Democratic candidates, John B.
Diamond and Raleigh s. Chinn, who
are contesting the election Of Charles
E. King and Frank H. Karn, success
full Fusionists, were elated by the
decision in the commissionership case.
Capt. Joseph C. Cissell, Of counsel
for Diamond and Chinn, declared that
the decision of Chief Judge Hammond
Urner and Associate Judge Arthur d.
Willard had upheld allegations OF
general Irregularities in the marking
of ballots and the manner in which
the votes were counted in various pre-
cincts and said this alone would con-
stitute sufficient grounds for the court
to order a recount. !.
Counsel for the two Fusion conn
missioners are expected to file an
answer shortly after Christmas.
The circuit court Judge upheld in
part demurrer filed by Fusion
counsel, but overruled the demurrer
as far as it concerned the sections Of
the petition which alleged votes had
been counted for the Fusionists which
were improperly marked or otherwise
illegal and that ballots cast for the
Democratic candidates had been dis
carded which were legal.
Were either Diamond or Chinn to
win seat on the board Of county
commissioners by reason of the re-
count, it would place the Democrats
organization back in control Of the
county board, from which it was dis
lodged for the first time in Is years
by election of three Fusion commits
sioners.

AS WE SEE IT
By MoNTco.

CHRISTMAS HAS GLADDENED
the hearts of many who have found
the going pretty rough during 1884.
On the whole, the outlook is much
brighter for 1885. Despite the attacks
on the New Deal, business has picked
up and there are many reasons why
the New Year should be looked for
ward to with confidence. If Congress
and the State Legislatures keep a
clear head there should be no Nation
al or Statewide cause for misgivings.

AS WE ENTER THE NEW YEAR
it seems fitting that we make resolu-
lions. The custom has never grown
decadent. So here goes.
To the President of the United
States we wish continued strength
and health to deal with the problems
which confront our national happi-
ness.
To our Congress we wish powers
which guarantee level-headedness and
elaboration in it's making of laws;
and to the Supreme Court in it's
framing of new decisions affecting
the business of these United States.
+ To cur local County Board of Com
missioners we extend our support in
maintaining Montgomery 1nty's
prestige and standing throughout
Maryland.
For the farmers, particularly, we
wish a continued prosperity which has
been made evident throughout the
past year. May their taxes decrease,
their good fortune increase and all
their cows and ewes have twins.
May the school teachers guide our
children in the path of practical learn
ing. May they not forget the wisdom
of the ages which guides, after ALL
the route of the useful citizen.
May the fathers and mothers not
forget that their children are mould
ed on a pattern of their own making
May the children remember that
their parents sacrifice that sons and
daughters may grow up to be COM
fort to old age.
We wish for the preachers the pow
er to breathe prayers which touch
the hearts and minds of all peoples.
For the business men we ask a fair
deal and the support of the commun-
f! ity.
! For ourselves we pray for light to
show the way to grouping readers
who seek the truth about the current
matters of the day. May we be en-
abled to present that truth both &C.
curately and interestingly.

A Happy Nem Year

We mean it than customary salutation
or just greeting of the season when we call out
"A Happy New Year" to our neighbors and friends
We mean it to convey the strongest wish that is in
our heart at this time.
This year we feel like shouting the greeting louder
than for the past three four years. for there good
reason to believe it is going to be far happier year
for everyone than those which have preceded it.
There questioning the fact that the business sun
shining brighter than it year ago; that there
is more cheerful atmosphere throughout the land;
that conditions have improved within the past twelve
months and that present indications presage still
more rapid and still extended improvement.
Everything really points to pickup that will grow
in volume and velocity the year rolls on
Things not coming back with boom. Good
times not going to their arrival with
brass band and fireworks. Prosperity not going to
turn the fast that it will jar the house down.
But better days than those we experienced in 1884
are here already and there many signs warrant
the belief that they going to be still better be-
fore 1885 passes into history.
That's why wishing you and yours "A
Happy New Year" in little louder tone than usual
We speaking it little louder because we really
believe it is going to be the happiest year this coun-
try has had in what seems like mighty long time
