DR.. M'COMAS IS NAMED TO
The CONSERVATION BODY
Governor Harry w. Nice Com
ments On Appointment of For
mer Garrett County Senator
PARTY FRIENDS PLEASED

Former State Senator Henry
w. McComas of Garrett county,
was named a member of the
three-member State Conserva-
ton Commission on Tuesday by
Governor Harry w. Nice, along
with DR.. J. Hubert Wade, of
Boonsboro, Washington county.
They will serve with former
Judge Robert F. Duer, of Prin-
cess Anne, chairman, who was ap-
pointed several weeks ago by Gov
ernor Nice. The appointment is for
four years.
Discussing his appointment of DR..
McComas, Governor Nice pointed out
that the appointe has taken deep
and active interest in the conserva-
tion of wild life in Western Maryland.
"The fresh water streams and lakes
of that section have been more or less
a hobby with him ever since l have
known him." the Governor said. "He
has lake on his own property which
he keeps well stocked with fresh water
fish. l feel that his interest in conser-
walton will make his appointment pc
cuharly profitable to the people of
Maryland"
In commenting upon his appoint
ment, DIR. McComas said yesterday
morning when seen at his office in
Oakland, II was very much pleased to
learn of my appointment as a mem
Der of the Conservation Commission.
Since there has been no meeting of the
three members of the commission,
there is no definite line of procedure,
but my action at all times will be in
accord with the other members of the
commission.
"My desire, of course, is to con-
serve and propagate wild life and to
build it up in this State. l am inter
ested in all requirements which would
make the Office of the commission eff
ficient and satisfactory to the best in
terests of the true sportsmen of the
State"
The recognition accorded Garrett
county in making the appointment of
DR.. McComas by Governor Nice to
this most important office, is pleasing
to the party leaders of the county in
that this is the first time in many
years that major appointment has
come to the county.

RIVER COMMISSION GETS
SCANT HOPE FOR PROJECT
Numerous Obstacles Appear AS
Group Meets With Federal
Officials

Numerous obstacles appeared in the
way of federal funds for the proposed
$1,250,000 Savage river dam in Gar
rett county, as the Upper Potomac
River Commission conferred with gov
eminent officials last night in Wash
ington.
At a conference John N. Mackal,
state works progress administrator,
said the project did not appear to be
eligible for inclusion in the work relief
program because it would not give
sufficient employment for the amount
of money involved under work relief
regulations.
Representative of the Public Works
Administration, the Natural Resources
Board and the National Emergecy
Council likewise offered scant hope of
favorable action. Proposals for q
loan-grant application to the PWA
struck a snag in the 100000 borrow
ing limit.

CCC YOUTH is DROWNED
AT SWALLOW FALLS CAMP
Loses Life In High Waters Of
Youghiogheny River on Monday

Harry Luff, a member of the Swal-
low Falls Civilian Conservation Corps
camp, drowned on Monday afternoon
about 2:30 while swimming below the
second falls, near the camp. His par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Luff, live at
Greensboro, Nd.
The Youghiogheny river was high
and swift from recent rains. A COM
panion with Luff grabbed him when he
came to the surface after having been
swept down by the current, but was
unable to keep his hold on the drown
ing man.
A squad of Oakland volunteer fire.
men went to the scene with an inhala-
tor, but the body was not recovered
from the water quick enough for the
apparatus to be used.
The body was shipped to his home
at Greenboro.
The spot where the boy drowned is
known to be over fifteen feet deep,
and to have undercurrents, and with
the high waters, it is assumed he was
drawn under the water. His body was
not recovered until about 6 o'clock
that evening.

County Officers and State Police

With hands kept close to their pis-
tolls, two Allegany county officers and
a State policeman yesterday crept up
to the mountain home of Martin l..
Tomlinson at "Koontz Barracks" in
Garrett county, just west of Lonacon-
ing, expecting a barage of gunfire. But
fortunately no shots were fired and
Tomlinson submitted to arrest without
an argument.
The officers had been warned that
Tomlinson kept a small arsenal of
weapons in his home, and it was feared
he would attempt to resist them. Sher-
if George E. Kemp, County Investiga-
tor Terrence ]. Boyle, of the Allegany
county force of officers, and State Po-
liceman M. T. Boiler, who arrested
the man, said they found thirteen pis-
tolls, rifles and other weapons in the
house.
Tomlinson's wife summoned the Of
ficers yesterday morning, claiming he
threatened to harm her Tuesday night
and forced her to leave the house. He
was taken to the county Jail in Cum
berland to await the arrival of Garrett
county officers, who will escort him to
Oakland for hearing today or to-
morrow.
polioa sold Ton,1inenr1 was arreStad
about five years ago and that large
number of guns were found at his
home He was examined by physicians
at that time and was sent to state
institution for treatment for mental
disorder. Tomlinson was later released
and appeared to be rational yesterday,
according to the officers who made the
arrest.

berger, of Kempton, charged with the
possession of an unlicensed still, are in
jail at Cumberland following their ar

Federal revenue officers haided still
operation near Kempton and arrested
Abe Paugh, whom they found at the
operation. Paugh declared he was only
the hired man" employed to look
after the mash cooking and denied
ownership.
Reed and Shelsinberger were sus-
pected by the revenue agents at the
time of being financially interested in
the plant Known to the agents as
"Mutt" and "Jeff" on account of their
disparity in size, they lodged the of
ficers for some time. Recently United

COUNTY HAS LEGAL BEER
FIRST TIME In 20 YEARS
Licenses Were Issued Monday to
Twelve Retailers and two Whole
salers-Others to Follow
NO GENERAL RUSH NOTED

Garrett county has legalized beer.
Licenses were issued on Monday, max
ing it legal for the first time in twenty
years, but there was no outward signs
of it save a noticeable pickup in the
patronage of restaurants and other
establishments selling the beverage.
A few inebriates were seen on the
streets here but they were said mainly
to be old topers SOLDERING up from jags
contracted before the beverage was
legalized.
The law under which the newly
licensed merchants operate, and which
was approved recently at referendum
to liberalize the county dry law to per-
nit sale of beer, is modelled after the
Allegany law. 1t permits the sale of
beer from Z a. m. to midnight during
the week and no sales on Sunday.
Special caps of orange and black
color, with sc" on each, are required
for the bottles. The county Golfers
were enriched more than $500 the
first day by the sale of caps for the
legalized beer to two brewing COM
panies and the sale of dealers licenses
as authorized by the 1885 legislative
act bringing beer back.
Soon after the Circuit Court opened
on Monday, licenses were issued to
twelve retailers, five of them in Oak
land, and to two Oakland wholesalers.
Other retail licenses were obtained by
dealers in Grantsville, and at Deep
Creek Lake. Others will follow next
week. "Reminiscences have been filed
against two who made applications
for beer licenses.
No General Rush Noticed
Although business was brisk in the
beer selling establishments, on the
opening day, there was no general
rush. The sales continued steady and
owners of one restaurant reported
many persons were purchasing cases
of the beer and taking them home for
consumption.
DRY" leaders gem declined to
comment upon the ,vvu44l OF the bever-
age against which they had waged a
spirited campaign. None, however,
was willing to admit he believed any
ultimate good would come of the re-
turn of beer. Those known to be in
favor of it, however, were confident
that a general upturn in business
would result
