Judge Urner Will
Hear Motion On
Recount Saturday
Diamond And Chinn Would
Amend Election Petition
At Frederick

A motion for permission to amend
the election recount petition of form
er County Commissioner John B.
Diamond and Raleigh S. Chinn will
be heard by Judge Hammond Urner,
chief justice of the Sixth Maryland
circuit, at Frederick, Saturday.
Diamond and Chinn, Democratic
organization candidates for the Coun-
ty Board, have charged that they
were defeated by their Fusion party
opponents, Charles E. King and Frank
H. Karn, because of irregularities
permitted during the November 6,
1884 balloting.
The motion was filed at Frederick
by, Joseph C. Cissel, counsel for
Diamond and Chinn. Judge Urner
and Associated Justice Arthur ID.
Willard, who sustained demurrers to
virtually every count of the original
petition in hearing here some time
ago, has announced that the would
entertain such move.
Miss Vivian Simpson and Edward
Peter, counsel for King and Karn,
said that they will oppose the motion,
however, on the grounds that more
than a month has elapsed since the
hearing on the demurrers and that
the two Fusion commissioners have
participated in many administrative
acts since that time.
No time limit 'or amending the
petitions was set by the court, how
ever.

Welfare Board Finds
Relief Aid Needed

The severe weather and increased
unemployment swelled the number Of
applicants for relief from the Welfare
Board Of Montgomery County to 800
for the month Of January.
Some of the unemployed were found
ineligible for help because of suf1c-
lent income and resources. The heavy
snow storm interferred with regular
work relief jobs but several men were
put to work as an emergency measure
at clearing the roads.
During the month Of January .
total Of 955 families were known TO
the Welfare Board. OF these families
802 received relief and Of this num-
Der 460 received work relief and 342
direct relief only.
People in the communities have
helped the staff of the Welfare Board
materially this month by reporting
available private jobs promptly, and
by notifying the Welfare Board when

Farm Moratorium
Act Held Valid
In Higher Court
Circuit Court of Appeals Al
Cincinnati Declares Frazier
Lemke Bill Constitutional

Legislation described by advocates
as affecting $8,OOO,OOO,OOO in farm
mortgages received the first sanction
of high court Monday.
The Sixth District United States
Circuit Court of Appeals at Gin
cinnati upheld constitutionality of the
Frazier-Lemke farm moratorium
amendment.
The act had been declared uncon-
stitutional by Judge w. Calvin
Chestnut in the District Court at
Baltimore.
The measure amends the national
bankruptcy laws. 1t permits the
court to restrain foreclosures, and
grant farm owners year extensions
in which to exercise option to pur-
chase, while continuing to occupy the
lands as tenants under rentals fixed
by the court.
Previously acted on only in dis
trict courts, the measure today re-
ceived the approval of a high court
second only to the Supreme Court of
the United States.
William Radford, Sr., Howell (Ky.)
farmer, and the Joint Stock Land
Bank of Louisville, KY, were the
principals in the action.
Radford was adjudged a bank
rupt while still ewing the bank
$7,594.64 on mortgages totaling
$4,000. A lower court granted him
the relief he asked under the Frazier
Lemke act and the bank appealed.
With Edwin A. Krautho of Wash
ington, contending the fate of
$4,000, 100000 in farm mortgages
was at issue, Representative William
Lemke appeared personally before
the court at Cincinnati in defense of
the legislation he helped frame.
While counsel for the Louisville bank
contended the act permitted seizure
of property without due process,
Lemke argued it would prevent
"peonage and serfdOm" among farm
ers, and that it only extended to
farmers aid already given other pro-
Quoting groups.

Counties Divide On Reassessmenf
Plan For Real Property In State
Western Shore Commissioners Unable To Unite In Pro
posed Move-Eastern Shore Antagonistic- Western
Maryland To Support Legislation To Return
Secondary Roads System To Counties

With the disagreement of Western
Shore county commissioners on the
plan for general reassessment of real
property in Maryland, it is extremely
doubtful whether impressive strength
can be mustered for such a move
ment at this session of the Mary
land Legislature. Three Western
Shore counties and eight Eastern
Shore counties are against the plan
for reassessment.
Seven of the 10 counties repre-
sented at the organization meeting
of the Western Maryland County
Commissioners Association at Fred
erick Monday voted for reassessment,
but the remaining three, coupled
with the eight Eastern Shore coun-
ties opposing such step, gave oppo-
nents majority of IL to 8 among
the counties that have taken a def
mite stand on the question.
Prince Georges, st. Mary's,
Charles and Hartford were not repre-
sented at the session, but it is not
thought likely that the State Legis-
lature would approve of reassessment
at this time even if all four join
with the reassessment advocates, for
sentiment would be virtually divided
with IL counties supporting the plan
and IL opposing it.
The association voted unanimously

A number of other matters, includ-

presented, but no action was taken.
The Frederick, Washington, ALE

Boards, which voted to support re-
assessment Legislation at a prelim-
mary meeting last week, were Joined

bers of the Baltimore, Anne Arun-

clared they were opposed to the plan
at this time.
Commissioner Paul Coughlan OF
Montgomery county told the 1850
citation that his board feels that re-
assessment is greatly needed to elm
mate inequalities. He predicted that
the assessible basis of Montgomery
county would be materially increased
if the plan goes through.

his love for Western Maryland and
his adopted land was only surpassed
by his affection for the old France
