TW0-WAY RADIO
CUTSF|RE LOSSES
Maryland Forestry Depart
ment Able to Rush Men
to Scene of Blaze.
BY the Associated Press.

6y tQG 6cSOCthtCo GACoo.
BALTIMORE, May 14.-Use Of a
two-way radio system as an aid to
fire-fighting has enabled the State
Forestry Department to cut losses IN
the central area b.tween Baltimore,
Washington and Annapolis.
Walter j. Quick, assistant forester,
said today the radio had aided forest
ers in locating blazes and rushing men
to the scene. In most instances, he
said, 1t was possible to extinguish the
fire before 1t spread to any extent.
Four towers of that section are
equipped with radio and can report
to headquarters Immediately. Scout
cars also are equipped with two-way
transmission sets and can report on
developments.
Dry Spring Is Hazard.
Quick said the unusually dry Spring
this year had added greatly to the
fire hazard. Normally the sprouting
of green foliage reduces the hazard
to a minimum, but dry underground
this year has prolonged the danger
season, he continued.
The fire season now is at its peak
in Garrett County, Quick declared.
Foliage is not yet fully developed in
that section.
The situation in other parts of
Maryland is not SO serious. he ex-
planned. One heavy rain will end the
danger all over the State by the end
Of May, Quick said.
Frederick and Cecil Counties have
been heaviest losers from forest fires
this Spring, the forester explained.
The largest Frederick blaze burned
685 acres on the Catoctin Range,
where the Federal Government Is
establishing forest preserve. Quick
said the fire was incendiary, coming
from a series of six blazes set on tor
of the mountain.
Several persons were questioned in
that connection but there have beer
no arrests, according to Quick. Per.

By United Press
COLUMBUS, O., May 1.-The
Methodist Episcopal Church today
accepted by a viva voce vote the plan
of union with the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, South, and the Meth
odist Protestant Church. The vote
was 470 to 80.
The plan of union, which has been
proposed by joint commission ON
interdenominational relations and
church union of the three churches,
was submitted for vote after more
than three hours debate on the floor
of the thirty second general confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
Church here.
Under the plan, the three princi-
pal Methodist bodies of the world
would be united with a total men,
bership of about 100000. The new
church would be known simply as
the Methodist Church.
Before the plan become effective,
it must be adopted by three fourths
of the smaller conferences of the
M. E. Church, and by the governing
bodies of the other two churches. 1t
was believed final action would not
be taken for two or three years.
STUBBORN opposition to the merger
was voiced by minority group,
which included several Negro dele
gates.

MARYLAND POLL TODAY
Col. Breckenridge Opposes
President Roosevelt in
Eastern List.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, May 4.-Gov.
ALI M. Landon's drive toward the
Republican presidential nomina-
ton carries him tomorrow to vital
primaries in California and South
Dakota. Reverses in those states
would hurt Landon even though
they might not stop him.
Maryland commands immediate
interest of Democratic politicians
with today's presidential primary.
Col. Henry G. Breckenridge of New
York is entered against President
Roosevelt. Maryland's delegation
to the Republican national conven-
ton probably will be pledged to the
"favorite son" candidacy of Gov.
Harry Nice.
With votes to deliver on the con-
vention floor, Nice migh5 be able
to make deal for the vice presi-
Dental nomination.
Mr.. Roosevelt's success in the
Maryland primary is discounted in
advance. He swamped Breckenridge
last week in Pennsylvania. But Re-
publican voters in South Dakota and
California may brighten or tarnish
the political prospects of outstand-
ing G. o. P. leaders.
In South Dakota an uninstructed
delegation favorable to Landon is
opposed to a slate pledged formally
to Borah.
If Borah is to remain in the race
he must make a showing against
I'andon. Their last significant meet
ing was in the April ID Nebraska
primary, where Borah formally was
a candidate. Approximately one in
five Nebraska Republican voters took
the trouble to scratch Borah and
write in the name of the Governor
of Kansas as their presidential
choice. The write-in vote was
boost for Landon, who might have
out-polled Borah if he had per-
mitted his name to be placed before
the electorate there. In Massachu-
sets last week a write-in movement
gave Landon 10-to-1 margin over
Mr.. Hoover, who was the Bay State
second choice.
Hoover Must Show Strength
Mr.. Hoover must demonstrate his
hold on California Tuesday if he
is to be close enough to party coun-
ellis in Cleveland to make himself
heard when the time comes to pick
a man and platform. Landon Prob
ably could survive reverses in South
Dakota and California. But if
delegates sympathetic to him are
named in both states, his position
as favorite in the G.. o. P. sweep
stakes will be enforced with TN
mistakable emphasis
CALIFORNIA; Democrats have
choice among three states of dele
gates pledged variously to President
Roosevelt, Upton Sinclair of the
End Poverty in California" League,
and Rep. John S. McGroarty, Dem
ocratic sponsor of the Townsend
old-age pension plan. Any of the
three delegations would be counted
for Roosevelt at the Philadelphia
convention.

ATTACK ON TAX, BILL
AR0USES HARRISON
Senator Charges Attempt to
Delay Measure.

ny CnUed Prfss
WASHINGTON, May 4.-Bank-
ers and business men charged today
that the 1903 200, 900 tax bill would
affect seriously the nations credit
system and drew a sharp returt
from Chairman Pat Harrison that
propaganda campaign is under way
to delay this legislation"
Interrupting the testimony of rep
resentatiyes of the United States
Chamber of Commerce, who con-
tended the measure would put
premium" on bankruptcies in the
United States, Harrison denounced
what he contended was campaign
to delay action on the measure.
Senator Tom Connally 3D., Tex
argued with Henry B. Fernald of the
Chamber of Commerce as to wheth-
er the bill would increase the num-
Der of bankruptcies. saying that the
costs OF receivership and the in
jury to prestige would keep conpa-
MES from seeking relief under the
exemptions granted in the bill.
Ellsworth C. Alvord, also repre-
senting the chamber, urged that the
bill be strapped and that no new
taxes be imposed until the New
Deal prepared a sound fiscal pro-
gram.
