Hearing In Lyddane
Case To Be Saturday

The preliminary hearing in the
much-discussed "Lyddane" case will
take place Saturday before the Police
Court.
Information received from volun-
teer witness yesterday was termed
important by Rockville police, inves-
tigating the so-called Lyddane "mur-
der plot"
The witness, Irwin Borrell, 26, OF
Reading, Pa, is in protective GUS
tody" at the Rockville Jail, after
questioning by authorities.
According to Detective James s.
McAuliffe, Borrell knows Harry e.
Thomas, named as the prospective
killer of Francis Lyddane, and John
H. "Googy" CARMEL, Rockville bar
tender, who has also figured in the
investigation.
Mrs. Anne Lyddane has been ac-
cused of plotting with Thomas anc
two other men to murder her hus-
band, Francis Lyddane, and Mrs
Josephine Beall, of Darnestown.
Contradictory was the statement Cd
Kenneth Lyddane, associate defense
counsel, who said:
"We have a signed statement from
Thomas in which he denies he knew
Mrs. Lyddane or had neither knowl
edge or received any money"

An important change in the man
ner of filling a vacancy in the county
treasurer's position also occurred this
session. At the present time the
Montgomery commissioners would
designate one of the assistant treas
urers to take over the treasurer's
duties, while the new law calls for
the Governor to appoint the nominee

the political party which elected the
original Office holder.

School Committee
Forms Rules For
Pupils Safety
Community Living Seen AS Dis
tinct Adjunct Of Modern
Education

The Safety Committee for Mont
gomery County schools have formu-
lated plans for the welfare of the
County school children. The Commit
tee made the following recommended
tions. /. Each school is asked to
organize school boy patrol under
the direction of the A. A. A. The A.
A. A. will furnish equipment and the
Montgomery Police Department will
furnish instructions. 2. Each school
form a Safety Club or an organization
which will teach principles of safety
to the children. 8. Each school SUBJ
scribe to the magazine safety Edu-
cation" This magazine is published
monthly during the school year and
costs $1.00 year. The magazine can
be obtained from Safety Education,
Park Avenue, New York City. It is
suggested that the P. T. A. or some
similar organization be asked to sup
ply this to the school. 4. Each school
prohibit the use of toy weapons by
the pupils. This includes toy pistols,
swords, handouts and sticks. Many
states are now outlawing the sale of
these toy weapons. Each school is
asked to have careful playground
supervision by teachers in order that
safety principles will be practiced as
well as taught. 5. That the school
children be given constructive view
point regarding the celebrating of
July 4th. More people are killed each
year in the United States celebrating
our Declaration of independence than
killed in the entire Revolutionary
War. 6. That the dangerous practice
of skating on highways be particular
| ly emphasized. Z. The local P. T. A.
or school give a party in honor of the
patrol and all other pupil safety
workers.
| L. Fletcher Schott, principal of the
Rockville High School, is chairman Of
the committee in charge. Other mem
bers are Mrs. Julian Waters and
Dorothy Nichols.
The Committee feels strongly that
one of the main detectives OF the
present day school is to educate cit
liens in community living. Certainly
health and safety learnings are more
important than some of the academic
rituals which are quickly forgotten
The A. A. A. will gladly supply
posters, teaching materials for all
grades, plays, films, booklets, teaching
outlines, etc. For these write to Mr.
R. M. Ham, Director of Safety
American Automobile Association
Washington, d. c.
The Committee would like the prin-
cipal of each school to enroll in this
safety education program. An honor
roll will be made up and the schools
working on safety will be given
publicity through the newspapers
Please write and tell the COMMITTEES
in what phases of the work you are
interested and in what activities you
will engage.

Many Important Changes Mark
Regular Session Of Legislature
Schools, Taxes And Police Involved In Montgomery
County Bills-Steps Taken To Ease Tax Burden
Economy Is Stressed By Prescott And Cantrel

The adjournment of the regular
session of the Maryland General
Assembly for 1885 finds many i'm
portant changes in the government of
Montgomery County. There has prob
ably been no session in recent years
so productive of legislation insofar as
Montgomery County is concerned.
Whether or not these new laws really
prove of benefit will be left to future
generations to explain.
Schools, taxes, police and liquor
measures have been introduced and
passed. Many lesser problems have
also been disposed of.
Authorization of an $850,000 issue
for Montgomery will enable officials to
build IA new institutions or additions
to existing structures in this county
and thus relieve the congestion
mounting in the public schools.
Steps also were taken to ease the
tax burden in Montgomery during the
next two years with the adoption of
two additional bond authorization
measures allowing the refunding of
81, 183,500 in general county and
suburban district maturities and a
$4,000 deficit in the school budget.
Montgomery County will extend the
privilege of installment payment of
taxes to property owners under two
other statutes.
In Montgomery County the counsel
to the Comm -soners was cut 8. III

sioneN III charge of che couney hcrn !
$500; assistants to the assessor, $500
each, and the supervisor of school
property, $500.
The Liquor Control Board Of the
county also was abolished under a
bill sponsored by Delegate Joseph A.
Cantrel and adopted by the Senate
as its last official act. The powers and
duties of the board, which served as
the administrative body for the liquor
dispensary system, will be transferred
to the county commissioners.
Montgomery receives three addi-
tional patrolmen under the new set
up, which placed its force under the
Statewide merit system.
In addition, provisions were made
for the appointment of two new SER
geants in Montgomery, while the
Bureau of Criminal Identification and
Investigation was made a permanent
unit, with Detective Theodore Vol.
ten, its head, also going under the
merit system with the rank of SER
geant.
Growing sentiment favoring the
placement of all county departments
under the merit system, thus remov-
ing them from the category of "politi-
cal foot balls" used for patronage
purposes, resulted in the Montgomery
Health Department being consigned
to the new system. The bill also pro-
vides for the creation of a new posi-
ton of chief sanitary inspector.
The commissioners suffered fur
ther loss of patronage under a bill
empowering the county treasurer to
appoint his two assistant treasurers
six clerks, counsel and private STEM
ographer.
A bill also was enacted to transfer

PALACE OFFERS TEST
FOR MARYLAND A. C.

EACING its final barrier before
clashing for the District semi
pro championship Sunday against the
Washington Pros, the Maryland A. C.
will stack up against strengthened
Palace A. c. eleven tonight at Griffith
Stadium at 8:15 o'clock.
The only team to score against the
Marylanders this season, dropping
1876 verdict about month ago, the
Palace pigskinners have been aug
mented by the addition of Snail De
Labre. probably the foremost sandlot
performer ever developed in the Dis
trict. De Labre, who lwill start at
fullback, will be fianked by Mike and
Johnny Scanlon and Bumps Hudson.
Willis Benner and Dick Nelson,
former University of Maryland stars;
Frank Cumberland, Western Maryland,
and Gene Augusterfer, Catholic Uni
versity, will comprise the Maryland
A. c. starting backfield. Norwood
Sothoron. all-Southern quarterback at
Maryland, doubtless will see plenty OF
action.
Sweeping to victories over the
Marions, Palace, Norfolk Clancys,
Richmond Arrows, Fredericksburg Cor
sairs and Frankfort Pros elevens. the
Marylanders have rolled up l24 points
to the opposition's 6. The Richmond
Arrows were fought to scoreless tie
in their first game of the season.

G.. w. Out for Record.

GEORGE WASHINGTON and Cath

days to prepare for their next en-
gagements. Thanksgiving day, the Co.

tral Stadium and the Cards with
North Carolina State at Griffith Stad-
ium, both of which are intriguing
affairs.
c. w., which has been setting the
pace in one way or another in District
foot ball for the last five years, is ex-
pected to break its own record for a
seasons attendance, needing only 1000
at the North Dakota game to beat last
years mark of 101 900. All seats will
be sold for S110 each, including tax,
but only those purchased on or before
Tuesday, November 26, will be re-
served.
North Dakota already is in the
East 1t will play Western Maryland
Saturday in Baltimore and Head
Coach PiXlee of the Colonials and a
number of his players will attend the
game.
Tuffy Lemans is particularly eager
for the meeting with the Nodaks,
champions of the North Central Con-
ference. 1t will be remembered that
North Dakota beat the Colonials last
year by blocking one of Lemans' punts.
Besides getting even for that Leemans
hopes to wind up his college career
with a great performance. Many a
gridiron addict will be on deck just to
see Tuffy tie knot to one of the most
brilliant careers in the history of

far as we can check back, foot ball
players have at least held up the aver

Maj. Gen. Malin Craig, chief

I still recall rainy day in France
when a ranking general was named

son, the program ran into a 10-minute

the irate general asked Without
batting an eye. Gen. Craig answered,
THE fault is entirely mine. sir, for

out all rebuttal and argument. Every
thing moved smoothly from that
point on.
