NICE TO ENTERTAIN
STATE SENATORS
Tax Study by Lawmakers to
Be Discussed on Bay
Cruise.
BY the Associated Press.


BALTIMORE. August 17-Most of
Maryland's Senators will set out from
Annapolis tomorrow NOR ling for a
two-day cruise on Chesapeake Bay
with Gov. Harry w. Nice
All the Senators who were In the
State have accepted, it was said, and
about 80 persons are expected to make
up the party. No particular political
or legislative discussion is expected,
except that the legislators may con-
slider a proposal made today by Sen
ator Raymond E. Kennedy of Balti-
more City.
Kennedy's idea Is that members Of
the General Assembly should study
the taxation problem and be prepared
to compare various plans when they
gather for the short special session
next Spring The sales tax expires
then and it must be extended or
some new tax imposed if contributions
to relief are to be kept up.
While the presence Of Senators
from both parties will keep the meet
ing from assuming any purely polit-
ical aspect. 1t may still be useful to
Gov. Nice, observers said. The trip
comes just a week and a day after
the Republican Senators gathered in
Ocean City and criticized some of his
actions.
Association with the Democrats, 1t
is felt, may increase the partisan feel
ing, and consequently the party 10y
atty. of the slightly rebellious Repub-
licans. 1t will also give them a
chance to talk at length to the. Gov
ernor, allowing the diSaffected to re-
heve their feelings by expressing
them.

JUDGE CORNELL GIVES RULING IN
 PECULIAR CASE
Claimants Couldn't Prove Case So He Advised a
 Compromise

"The rule of law which places upon the claimants the burden of proving something that cannot, in the nature of the case, be proved, becomes ironical under such con- ditions," says Judge John A. Cor nell in an opinion handed down in the compensation appeal case of Mrs. Anna Vitkauskas of Nor. ton street against the American Brass Company.
 Judge Cornell Is referring to the unusual circumstances in the case The womans husband, Joseph, a caster, died October 19, 1888, from disease called "agranulocytosis" I, which Is known to lay persons as an almost complete lack of white blood corpuscles in the body.
 Since it was up to the claimant to prove that her husbands death was due to this disease and that 1t was contracted while In the course of his employment, 1t was Q great burden because, according to Judge Cornell, medical knowledge of this disease is meagre.
 The appeal to the superior court came from the finding of Con- Leo J. Noonan of the first Congressional District, who heard the case. He dismissed the claim on the grounds 1t was not proven that the mans death was due to his occupation. It was from this finding that the appeal to Judge Cornell in superior court was taken.
 Judge Cornell, however, makes the suggestion, without judicial force, that the respondents should make some sort of compromise with the claimant on her claim.
 In that regard he says, "the court submits the suggestion, en-

JAPANESE NAVAL
 OFFICER FREED

Washington, Jan. - CUP) - Officials today said they had found no basis for charges against Yoshito Matsuda, Japanese naval officer who was detained in St. Petersburg, Fla, when he photo- graphed the harbor and U. s. war ships.
 Immigration Commissioner D. w. MacCormick explained that Matsuda had spent the night as the guest" of immigration officials in St. Petersburg, while authorities checked his case.
 Unless the Japanese embassy enters a protest, it appeared likely the incident would be closed.
 Secretary Claude A. Swanson said the navy was Investigating the affair but had received no ofii- cial reports.
 The secretary said the U. s. Navy department would object to such photographing as laid to Matsuda. It was doubtful, how ever, that, any actio nwould be taken on the basis of the pictures taken by Matsuda.
