Allan Farquhar Passes
His Sind Milestone

Allan Farquhar, dean of the Sandy
Spring residents who was born and
raised in that delightful Quaker
neiighborhood, Saturday celebrated
his 82nd. birthday.
Mr.. Farquhar, the son of the late
William H. Farquhar, still holds
down his post as secretary treasurer
of the Mutual Fire Insurance Com
pany of Sandy Spring. In fact, Mr..
Farquhar usually walks the three
quarters of mile from his home to
his office, if the weather is not too in
clement. Physically and mentally, Mr..
Farquhar is remarkable.
For 46 years Mr.. Farquhar has
been an employee of the Insurance
Company. He has been married twice.
His first wife was Miss Charlotte
Peasants, of Richmond, Va. His Sec
ond wife, was Miss Alice Councilman,
of Pikesville.
Mr.. Farquhar has a son, Douglas
Farquhar and two daughters Mrs.
Ronald Van A. Mills, and Mrs. R.
Bentley Thomas.
Mr.. Farquhar has always been an
independent as far as politics goes.
He has been wont to look ahead and
vote for whom he regarded as the
best man. The people of Sandy Spring
and Montgomery County as whole
express their best sentiments upon
this, the occasion of Mr.. Farquhar's
82nd birthday. No farmers meeting in
Sandy Spring has been reported faith
fully without due account of Mr..
Farquhar's expositions. He has always
been civic and community minded.

Cities, Towns And Counties Exempt
From Automobile License Payments
States Attorney OConor Rules That Publicly Owned
Vehicles Can Display Own License Tags If Approved
By Commissioner Rudy-Co Considerable Saving
May Be Affected

II might add, that while the law
|exempts publicly owned vehicles
from the provisions of registration,
the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles
lis given no authority to issue a GER
tifcate of title except upon payment
of the amount provided by law. Fur
thermore, he is given no authority,
by the law, to waive the provisions
of the Acts of 1886, in respect to the
collection of tax of an amount equal
to 10 of the fair market value of the
machine in question. Lacking such
right, the Commissioner has no al
Tentative but to require the payment
by any one whether a private citizen
or the representative of State De-
partment or County, City, town OF
village,) of the fees for the issuance
of title and the taxes to be collected
in conjunction with the issuance of
the title.
Accordingly, if a title is applied
for and issued, the Commissioner. by
law, is directed to collect the fees and
taxes, above referred to, and you are
therefore advised that while it is un-
necessary for the State or govern
mental units, to procure a title for
cars which do not have to be regis
tered under the exemption clause, that
If they desire title to be issued, they
must pay for it, as well as to pay the
E136 tax levied by the last General
Assembly"

Miss Lavinia Engle Speaker
At Democratic Meet

The administration of the social
security program was discussed by
Miss Lavinia Engle, director of the
Maryland League of Women Voters
and former member of the Maryland
House Of Delegates at a meeting last
night of the Young Mems Demo
cratic Club of Silver Spring. The
Young Women's Democratic Club of
the community attended as guests.
The Forthcoming election in 1896,
Miss Engle declared, will be waged
on the different theories Of govern
ment rather than mere party poll
tics.
Pointing out that security Of one
kind or another has always been
the leading factor in the develop
ment of American Government, she
urged the group to exert their in
huence to see that this theory will
be carried on.
"This movement will necessarily be
slow" Miss Engle said in concluding
her talk, ''but as a social and eco
ncmic philosophy It carried out the
theory Of Government as we know
1t in America-that is, free Gppor-
t1njtv. and secdlrtty for aItRplal.

Eddie Killeen Is
Buried; His Slayer
Held At Rockville
Mrs. Maddox Claims Self De-
Tense; Killeen Long Evaded
Police Net


Edward Vincent Killeen, gambler.
was buried Tuesday in the family plot
at Mount Olivet Cemetery, Washing
ton. He died Saturday, according to
police at the hands of Mrs. Lillian
Maddox, with whom he was living.
The police apparently never could
"get Eddie" but a woman proved his
undoing in a modest shack on the
Conduit Road. Eddie evaded the police
on every major charge brought
against him, but he succumbed to the
fragile trigger finger Of his "moll'' II
we are to believe police reports Of the
shooting.
Mrs. Maddox, who, as clip Cal
lahan, knew Eddie Killeen when
she was Georgetown girl in pig
tails, was beginning to regain her
composure as she waited in the Rock
vile Jail.
States Attorney James H. Pugh,
of Montgomery County, who win
prosecute the woman, said that she
was extremely drunk when she sur
rendered after the shooting Saturday
in Killeen's Second home' on Con-
duit road.
Her nerves were so shattered Sum
day that she had to be given a few
medicinal drinks Of whiskey.
Mrs. Maddock's story Of the kill
ing is being checked, but not in the
belief that, in killing Killeen. she
was the paid agent for rival gam
blers.
The weakness in this theory, it
was pointed out, lay in two cir
cumstances. Why, it was asked,
would she do the killing as she did
do it, knowing that she might hang
or go to prison for life? Why, it was
asked further, did she not say it was
an accident, if, as some believe, she
was an agent for others?
After summoning police, Mrs. Mad
dock said:
Il killed him because he beat me
and it served him right"
States Attorney Pugh contends.
however, that her primary motive was
Killeen's threat to leave her and sail
to Miami on his 45-foot cabin cruiser.
He quoted her as saying that she shot
him because she loved him.
Stedman Prescott, who once held
Pugh's job. and who now is Mrs. Mad
docks attorney, said that a physician
had found Mrs. Maddock's body cover
ed with bruises and lacerations-eyi-
dence, he said, of Killeen's brutality.
Pugh, however, emphasized that
the physicians examination, made
Sunday, showed the bruises to have
been anywhere from "three to seven
days old" This would Indicate. in
Pugh's eyes, that Killeen was not
beating the woman just before she
shot him.

IA saving to cities, towns and coun-
ties of Maryland may be effected in
the matter of procurement of automo-
bile licenses for the coming year, as
the result of ruling this week by
Attorney General Herbert R. O'Conor.
In letter to the State Department
of Health, Mr.. O'Conor ruled that
publicly-owned vehicles are exempted
from registration by the Commission
er of Motor Vehicles and are requir-
er to pay for neither license plates,
certificate of title nor the new auto
mobile title tax. These vehicles must
display license plates but not those
regularly issued by the Commissioner.
They can be made up by the city or
county and used year after year. The
form of these plates must be approx
ed by the Commissioner.
It is said that this ruling, if taken
advantage of by cities and counties,
will effect a considerable saving in
these annual charges.
Mr.. O'Conor's opinion reads in part
as follows:
From the inquiries made of this
Department by State agencies and
representatives of the Counties and
City of Baltimore, it is apparent that
while they contend that they should
not be liable for the amount of taxes,
required to be paid by the recent law,
that they have been compelled to pay
the taxes in question because they
have applied for and received title and
registration in connection with each
automobile acquired.
"The fact is that under Section 174
of Article Sc, enacted by the General
Assembly of 1916, and repealed and
re-enacted in 1918, all motor vehicles
are expressly exempted from this pro-
vision requiring registration fees,
when the vehicles in question are
owned and used by the State, or by
any County, City, town or village. 1t is
further provided in the law relating to
the titling of motor vehicles, that the
issuance of title shall be in connec-
ton with these motor vehicles for
which registration has been applied.
It follows, therefore, that if the State,
County, City town or village avail
themselves of the exemption afforded
by Section TIA above referred to, that
not requiring registration, they do not
require a certificate of title. If no
certificate Of title is applied for and
received, it would follow that the 10
tax, provided for by the Acts Of 1885,
would not be payable.
at is to be noted, however, that the
same provision, which exempts pub
licity owned vehicles from the pro-
visions affecting registration, stipu-
lates that all such vehicles shall dis
play identification markers approbed
by the Commissioner of Motor Vehicle
It therefore is necessary, before any
such exempted automobile can be OPP
Grated on public thoroughfares, that
Identification markers, approved, but
not necessarily issued by, the Com
missioner, shall be displayed. By
whom these markers are provided, is
matter of detail, but the important
circumstance remains that none is
disable unless and until approved, by
the Commissioner.

COUNTY COMMISSIONER LANS-
DALE, in accusing Fusion officials of
practicing nepotism, has only echoed
sentiments held by large number of
taxpayers. But the situation existed
in this county long before Fusion
ticket was ever conceived. Nepotism is
to be regretted. AS a purely theore-
teal problem it should be deplored
under any Democratic form of gov
eminent. But is ever present in not
only local politics but also in State
and National affairs. 1t was but a
short while ago when members of
Congress were bitterly assailed for
hiring their relatives in their offices
on Capitol Hill. It is surely not con-
fined to any party, clique or commun-
ity. The problem of nepotism comes
under the head of sociology. 1t is an
ingrown human trait and probably
dates back to the first clans and the
adoption of tribal customs. The Kings
of England practiced it with much
aplomb. That is why we have family
e,ships and dukedoms in Europe to-
Jay. In this country political spoils
and heritages have been from gener-
alton to generation. We read of i'm
portant political figures in the past
whose sons and grandsons are holding
power today which descended to them
through the strength and patronage
of their ancestors.

IE RECIPROCAL TRADE

AGREEMENT between the United

single step toward the reduction of

anywhere since the onset of the de-
PRESTON" the New York Times de-
clared in its leading editorial the day
after the terms of the treaty were an
nounced, and added: at is not only a
fine achievement in itself but a hope
full augury of wider restoration of
international trade and sanity. Special
interests will attack it. But they will
say nothing about the great gains to
us all as consumers"
"The agreement with Canada" re-
marked the Baltimore Sun, frequent

s'must be set down as victory, not
only for those who have been advocat-
ing return to lower tariffs as a
means of pulling international trade
out of it's present slump and of thus
promoting domestic recovery, but for
those who, through good times and
bad, have always stood for a freer
trade as way of keeping the world
economy in equilibrium. Moreover, the
success of these negotiations shows
that the new method of tariff bar
gaining is more effective than the old
method of dealing with tariff rates
through legislative action. 1t will
ultimately prove boon to the coun-
try as a whole, for it will undoubted-
ly lead to a lowering of prices and TO

NEPOTISM, A MUCH DISCUSSED
term of late, is derived from a Latin
name meaning nephew" It all start
ed like this: Several Popes, subse-
quent to Innocent VIII, carried on the
practice of granting high honors,
lucrative positions and self-sustaining
pensions to their family relations,
usually their fayorite nephews. The
Italian 1nepote," also meaning
nephew, is the word from which our
familiar term is directly coined. 1t

days and now it has come to be
recognized as just one of those things
which crop up under spoils system.

SEVEN PILLARS OF WIS
DON'T. E. LAWRENCE. Out OF
the choas and confusion of human
ity's greatest single experience, the
mechanical world war, there arose
one vivid individual leader whose
story, recorded in book, achieves
the atmosphere of the classics. The
leader was T. E. Law
renee of Arabia'-and his book,
Seven Pillars of Wisdom.
In its pages Is the odyssey OF
one mans soul, a record of high
endeavor, the adventure and the
philosophy Of soldier. Here is
the story of the encounter of this
youthful philosopher with the Ara
bia of the South, when the heat
'came out like drawn sword and
struck us speechless." And the port
city by which he and his compan-
ions entered to stir the desert to
revolt was as a dead city that
needed no noise-suppression." This
was the start Of his adventure. Un-
til his death, he was in constant
motion. He had ridden thousands
of miles each month upon camels
] with added hours in airplanes, and
had rushed across the desert In
