ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 9.-Failure
Of the General Assembly to pro-
vide 100000 for relief needs

Gov. Harry w. Nice was pre-
dicted today by j. Allan Coad
Cd. st. Marys, and Kent Roberts
Mullikin CD, Prince Georges
Senator Coad is majority floor
leader in the Senate and Multi.
kin in the House of Delegates.
They pointed out that while
suggesting the need for speed in
appropriating the money, which
is to be matched with Federal
funds, the governor had failed
to suggest any form of taxation
to raise it.
Mr.. Nice said that failure to
provide the necessary money
would cause Federal authorities
to cut off their grants to the
State. for the time being, at least.
Both Senator Coad and Dele
gate Mullikin expressed the be-
lief that a few days Of grace
could be obtained from the Fed.

ferred to the annual report Of
the Maryland State Roads Com.
mission for the information they
want. the Prince Georges county
commissioners today again asked
the road commission for specific
data on the county's 1885 gas
tax allotment.
The commissioners yesterday
received a letter from the roads
commission referring the board
to certain pages in the annual
report issued last October, in
answer to their first inquiry.
The commissioners decided, how.
ever, that they want more up
to-date data.
Eight direct questions are asked
IN letter sent to the commits
sion, with a request also for an
accounting of $4,000 which the
incorporated town claims it never
received from the 1888 allotment
when the State commission took
over the county road mainte-
nance.
The county commissioners also
ask Qualification of what consti-
tutes the fiscal year of the roads
body, since the county operated
from June to June, while the COM
mission is said to figure from Oc.
tober to October. The difference
between June and october rep
resents a part of the annual sum
given towns equal to $4,000.
The commissioners were told by
the Municipal Association in a
letter written yesterday that the
sum should be given them, if it
had to be taken from the 1885
allotment to the county, which
will include small surplus from

NEW YORK.-A lone outlaw
of Exterior Street. who demanded

Malta, Jerry and Louise Valenta.
Mary Zak, Stephen Faliak and
Beatrice Borovicka.
Suddenly. Railey appeared out
of the Sh a dowS, approached
Faliak and with his hand in his
pocket, as though he had a gun,
said:
"Give me your money or =
girl"
Faliak gave him $18. Valenta
came through with $11, and
Malta handed over $3.50.
Then Faliak ran him down
with his car. A Scuffle ensued,
during which stranger got
away with the money.

Not Executive

Mr.. Reich has testified the
$4,000 ransom money had been

see the kidnaper in the cemetery.

to be in the Bronx that night.
A.-Colonel Lindbergh, Colonel
Breckenridge, DR.. Condor and
myself.
Odd you follow Colonel
Lindbergh and DR.. Condor when
they left to pay the ransom.
Al did not.
Odd the New York police de-
partment know a payment was to
be made that night? A.-No.
Laughter swept across the court
room when Reich explained his
comparatively minor role in the
other ransom payment night by
saying:

Gfves in this. I was only the dot
on the l."

Mr.. Wilentz wanted to know
where, during those years DR..
Condor had lived and the Lind

tire life in the greater city of

Mr.. Wilentz then introduced
still another note-blackened, like
the others, by the acids that had
been used in efforts Of chemists
to trace its source.
Doctor Condor identified this
note which was dated April !,
1882.
It said, in part:
"Have the money ready Sat

It gave emphatic warnings
against any traps and said to
have the money in a box. 1t also

he put in the paper Saturday,
April 2.

ready that day?
A.-Yes. Colonel Lindbergh
and Colonel Breckenridge were
