POSE AS FEDERAL MEN;
FLIMFLAM OLD PEOPLE
Two Young Men Proposing To
Assist In Procuring Pensions
Obtain Money Falsely
WORK AMONG THE NEEDY

Taking advantage of the publicity
given Maryland's old-age pension law,
minor racketeers have been flimf1am-
ming old and extremely needy persons
in this county out of small sums OF
money.
Samuel Teets and Aaron Sines, of
the Swallow Falls community, re-
ported to relief workers that they
had each given $1.00 to two young
men who had posed as government
agents and allegedly had promised
to obtain old-age pensions for them.
John Bowman, Harrington, re-
ported he had given two young men
$500 on a similar promise.
The men who are being sought
tried but failed to obtain fee from
Mrs. Amos Friend, also of the Swal-
low Falls community. Mrs. Friend,
so she stated, told them she already
had sent in her application to the
proper agency, the welfare board of
the county.
Police Notified
The "racket" was discovered by
Miss Vera Ream, a relief aide, when
she called on the victimized people.
She reported the occurrence to Miss
Ethel Miller, executive secretary OF
the County Welfare Board, who mott
fled Sheriff Clarence Spear, giving
him all the information she had con-
corning the matter.
How many other persons have been
mulched by the two men will not be
known until welfare workers have
had an opportunity to communicate
with all old persons in the section. 1t
is known, however, that the pair
worked the scheme in the vicinity of
the power house at Sines.
Magazine Sui .riptiOns Being Sold
A check-u' y c. E. MacMurray, at
the Sines r~ er house of the Youghio-
gheny Hydro-Electric Company, de-
scribed two young men who were So
Letting subscriptions for magazines
in that community, but it is not GER
tain, nor did Mr.. MacMurray say they
were the same persons. The pair were
travelling in an old model LaSalle
car, bearing a Pennsylvania license
and upon leaving the power house
they made inquiry as to the best
road leading to Somerfield, Pa.

SENATORS DIFFER ON WAY
OF RAISINGSTATE REVENUE
Governor Nice Will Call Special
Session Of Legislature First
Of Next February
SOLONS BACK FROM TRIP

After a two-day conference
while cruising and fishing in the
Chesapeake Bay, Governor Nice,
members Of the Maryland State
Senate and other State officials
have returend to their homes.
Chief developments of the
trip were:
That Governor Nice will probably
call the Legislature into special ses-
sion next February, rather than in
March. The special session is needed
because the one per cent gross sales
tax, Maryland's only means Of pro-
viding funds for relief and old-age
pensions, expires next March 81.
That the Governor asked the Sena-
tors to limit introduction of bills at
the special session to measures deal
ing with relief, old-age pensions, vot-
ing machines and permanent regis
tration so as to avoid clogging the
files with local measures.
That Senator Milton L. Veasey
-Worcester), announced he would
sponsor legislation which would re-
quire all local subdivisions of the
State-county and city-to carry their
share of the relief load.
That Senator Robert B. Kimble
-Allegany), announced he would
favor State income tax Of Is per cent
Of the federal rate. Such tax, Kimble
estimated, would produce $6,000,000
annually if levied on money actually
earned in Maryland.
Advances Special Session
Governor Nice said it was practi-
cally definite that he would call the
special session early next year, either
in the last week in January or the
first week in February.
The prospect of hard battle over
relief and old-age pension revenue
raising methods appeared on the hori
zom because of the varying opinions
as to the proper methods of taxa
ton.
The prospect Of fight over relief
taxation doomed when it was found
that some senators were in favor of
continuing the present one per cent
gross receipts and automobile titling
taxes, while others were opposed. A
state income tax and luxury sales tax
also had their hackers, and it appeared
likely that a bill would be presented
+ providing for tax on beer.

CAMPUS RIOTS AT
 CHICAGO FRIDAY

Chicago, April 1S-(U.PD-Two campus riots and threat of state investigation of "red" activ- ities at the University of Chicago embroiled the schools officers to- day.

Sanditz- 7raurig May
 Haue Diuidend Soon
Depositors May Receive It Late in the Summer port of Waterbury National Bank, as Receiver,
 Was Made Yesterday

Possibility of 0 dividend to de- positors of the closed Sanditz & Traurig Bank some time in the late summer, probably in Septein- Der, loomed to-day when the regu- ceiver, the Waterbury National Bank, was filed an superior court. The report shows the receiver now has cash on hand of $11,654.12 and needs but about $3,00O more in order to make 1v per cent dividend to depositors.
 May Realize Cash
 It is expected that the receiver by following along the lines it has for the past few months will be able to realize the cash needed for the dividend payment.
 The report of the same receiver for the Kazemekas & Co. bank is not as bright as far as dividend payments to depositors is con- cerned. The report shows cash on hand of $10,119.41 but about $30,000 is needed for ten per cent dividend. It is possible, how ever, that the receiver might make some effort. to bring the cash up near the point where a dividend could be considered.
 Receipts For March
 The report shows receipts in the Sanditz case amounted to $S33.70 for the month of March. These were realized from the following payments: Industrial loans, $1G, bills discounted, $15; mortgage

 He claims his vision is perma- nently impaired and that his face is disfgured.
 Morin was discovered early the next morning seated on the curb of the sidewalk near the scene of the alleged beating, m dazed condition, by policeman who had the man sent to St Mary's hospi' tai. Coroner John T. Monzani was called into the case at first when the injured mans life was in danger.
