NICE RECOMMENDS STATE
POLICE REORGANIZATION
GOvernOrWOuld Give MunshOwer
Greater POwers-NOt Much Ac-
tivity In Legislature
ONLY A FEW NEW BILLS

The Senate State police investiga-
ton committee began review of the
evidence last night after hearing Gov
ernor Harry w. Nice brand as "abso-
lutely and utterly unfounded" all
charges made in testimony Gas they
apply to me-"
The governor, after greeting the
committee members, read a statement
in which he recommended that the
new superintendent, Major Elmer F.
Munshower, Frederick, be given au-
thority comparable to that now vested
in the police commissioner for Balti-
more, and an increase in the personnel
sufficient to properly patrol the high
ways of Maryland. If this were done
Governor Nice said Munshower would
bring the Maryland state constabulary
to the highest degree of efficiency it
had ever known.
Actual legislative sessions have
been short this week. Twenty sena-
tors introduced a bill which would re-
quire that all gubernatorial appoint
ments be confirmed by the Senate.
Under the present law, enacted dur
ing Governor Ritchie's regime, many
of the choicest jobs of the state govern
ment are filled by the governor with
out consent of the Senate.
A new bill was introduced in the
Senate yesterday by Friend regarding
duties of Garrett county treasurer.
What these duties are is not known.
"A Senate bill was passed yesterday
providing for a tax of $50 on dance
halls in Garrett county, with proceeds
going to volunteer fire departments
of the county.
The two fiscal committees met yes
terday to compare slashes they had
made in the budget. Eight jobs were
eliminated. Approximately $4,000
was cut off the executive department
in each of the two years. The COM
mittees plan to take up the diversion
of the roads funds at a later session
and hope was expressed that the
budget bill could be reported in both
Houses early next week.

BILL LIMITING TERMS
OF GOVERNORS PASSES
Measure Approved By Maryland
Senate 10 to 10; Sent To House
For Final Action

The Senate passed last Friday-by
an 18 to 10 vote-and sent to the
House a bill prohibiting governor
from serving successive terms in
Office. It is a constitutional amend
ment and will be submitted in 1888 if
the House passes it.
"The Senate, especially the Repub-
lican members, did bit of kidding
during debate over the measure. The
kidding was at the expense of Senate
President Landslide G. Sasscer and
Attorney Herbert R. O'Conor, who are
recognized candidates for the Demo
cratic gubernatorial nomination in
1888. Both were in the chamber at
the time.
Said Senator Robert B. Kimble (R,
Allegany): "It seems that a Republican
can hold that Office for one term only
anyway so Pm in favor of splitting it
among my Democratic friends"
Said Senator Wilmer w. Davis r.
Caroline): "The chamber is full Of pros
pective governors. I like them all and
want to see all of them get a crack at
the governorship."
Senator Raymond E. Kennedy ID
5th Baltimore) opposed the measure
and sought to have it recommitted to
judiciary committee. He said he felt
limiting the term of governors would
in measure, prevent long-term, con-
structive program by any one COVER
nor.
Kennedy's motion lost II to II anC
the bill was passed.
The Senate passed and sent to the
House a total of nine bills. Most OF
them were local in nature.
The Senate adjourned to meet agar
at 7:30 p. m. Monday.

new BOARD OF ELECTION
SUPERVISORS IS CHOSEN
Joel Beachy, Grantsville; Ben
Knepp, Red House; John w. HOl-
man, Friendsville, Named

A new Board of Election Supervis-
ors for Garrett county was appointed
during the week by Governor Harry
w. Nice, subject to confirmation by
the Senate.
/ Joel A. Beachy, Grantsville, was the
only member to retain his position.
Clifford Friend, Senator, disregarded
the recommendations of the Republi-
can State Central committee except in
the case of Mr.. Beachy and named Ben
Knepp, Red House, as the other Re-
publican member. Mr.. Knepp was
unaware of his appointment, and al
though expressing surprise, stated he
would be glad to serve the people to
the best of his ability.
The Democratic member of the
Board will be John w. Holman, of
Friendsville.
The Republican committee recon-
mended Mr.. Beachy, E. Townshend, E.
G. Naylor, W. W. Savage and Henry
Myers. The Democratic committee
recommended J. Frank Browning,
George Little, Fred Miller, Frank
Spoerlein, and Mr.. Holman.
Mr.. Townshend and Mr.. Little have
served for two years.
1t is the general custom, when a
Senator cannot support any of those
recommended, to ask the County Com
mittee for a new list. This Friend
did not do, but made his own selection
without the knowledge of the county
organization.
