ANNAPOLIS, April 13.-Gov. Harry
w. Nice cannot veto the section of the
relief taxation bill legalizing book
making without invalidating the entire
measure.
That was the opinion Attorney
General Herbert r. OConor gave the
Governor last night as Nice pondered
the advisability of calling the Legis-
lature into special session to enact q
new relief program
State Controller William S. Gordv.
1r., has estimated the taxes provided
in the present measure will fall some
100000 short of producing the s5.00O.-
600 year the Legislature estimated
the levies would yield.
Must Sign or Veto.
Gov. Nice, who said Saturday he
would sign the measure with the
greatest reluctance" because of the
section legalizing and licensing the
making OF betting books on horse races,
asked O'Conor whether he could veto
that section and leave the rest of the
bill intact.
O'Conor ruled that he could not. He
said the Governor could veto the bill
as a whole or sign it as a whole, but
that is all
The Assembly adjourned last Tues
day after completing its regular 90
| day biennial session. A composite re-
lief measure, including a section legal
izing and taxing bookmakers, was
jammed through in the closing hours.
Mayor Howard w. Jackson of Bal
timore yesterday urged the Governor
to call special session to work out
an entirely new relief plan. The Gov
ernor, however, refused to indicate
what course he will take.
Still Gathering Data.
Il have about made up my mind
what I ought to do" Gov. Nice said,
but I am not now in position to
announce it. I am still gathering data
as to the revenue aspects of the pro-
gram"
Controller Gordy's survey indicated
an average yield of S4,510,000 as COM
pared with the IS $4,000 estimated by
the Observation-Disclosures the four
major Maryland race tracks hold 20
additional days of racing as the bill
provides. The additional days would
turn approximately s25O,o00 into the
State Treasury.
The tracks have indicated they do
not favor the added period of racing
and, if they disapproved the plan, the
S250,000 would be deducted from the
annual income for relief.
Late yesterday Gov. Nice issued
statement in which he said he was
studying the relief bill "along the lines
Of its probable returns, whether the
revenue will be sufficient, and whether
it will be a wise economic move to
make legalized gambling basis for
providing relief funds"

T URAY, Va, April 13.-The fam
lily Of Reuben Buracker, 49,
year-old mountaineer, settled
- in its new State Public Welfare
home today, wouldn't change for
anything"
Buracker's is the -irst-and thus
far the only one-of 375 families to
be evicted from the Shenandoah Ma
tional Park and established in domi-
cile outside the park area.
He was forced to surrender a two
room house and a patch" of land he
farmed, but despite this, he told a
reporter this morning he has no
complaint with the Government.
1t seems that the Federal Emer-
gency Relief Association paid Bu-
racker 5000 for his property on the
mountain.
He was moved into a new four
room bungalow near here, bungalow
surrounded by four-acre farm, which
had been plowed and made ready for
cultivation.
Given Two Shoats.
The home was furnished with used,
but serviceable, equipment.
He was given a job
He was given seed for his land,
chickens and two shoats.
Burackers new home and land, his
furniture, his seed, his chickens and
his shoats cost him exactly nothing
paid for by the Government.

His answer was to fire bullet into

Lehman thought the shot had gone

When the Federal Government took

Seventy-five others, unable for va

under the latter classification.

Reuben was busy Smelling corn for

the windows, while he told Of his

Buracker said that neither his

OWNER OF AUTO
is RULED LIABLE
Court Decides Person to Whom
Car Is Lent Is His
Agent.

Don't lend your automobile to a
friend unless you are willing to take
responsibility for any accident in
which he is involved.
This is the warning to be drawn
from a decision by the United States
Court of Appeals late yesterday ma
terially changing the hitherto exist
ing view taken by local courts in
damage suits.
The court held that the new auto
mobile financial responsibility law,
which became effective August 8,
1885, makes the person to whom
the owner has lent the automobile
the agent of the owner ard the re-
suit of this is to make the owner
liable for an injury negligently
inflicted by person using the auto
mobile with his consent"
Before passage of the act it was
the settled law in the District that
the owner was not liable for dam
ages caused by another in the use of
the car, provided it was not being
used in the owners business. Thus
a person who lent his car to friend
for a pleasure trip could not, under
the old law, be held accountable for
an accident occurring while the ma
chine was in the friends possession.
The courts ruling was made in a
suit by Everett B. Forester for in
juries to his wife caused by an acct
dent involving a machine belonging
to B. D. Jerman & Co., which had
been lent to third person. The
District Court directed a verdict for
the defendant, but this was reversed
by the appellate tribunal, whose opin-
ion was written by Associate Justice
D. Lawrence Groner. Attorneys I.
Irwin Bolotin, Samuel B. Brown and
Ida T. Fox represented the victorious
plaintiff.
Attorneys for the Jerman concern
contended that the automobile finan-
cial responsibility law was not in
tended by Congress to enlarge the
existing common law liability Of one
who intrusts his car to another, but
rather to create a financial RESPONSE
bility applicable to drunken driving,
hit-and-run driving or failure to sat-
isfy judgment for damages.
The court, however, declined to ac-
cept this view.

gency room, the fellow who had shot
me was there having his leg fixed.
I was so mad-well, I just couldn't
help cussing the devil out Of him."
Despite the seriousness of his
wounds, Lehman was out of the hos
pital in three or four weeks, and back
on duty in a few more.
ut didn't hurt me-not perma-
nently, anyway" he declared. I'm
still in about as good shape as ever"
The officers assailant died of blood
poisoning about month after the
shooting, which occurred at Ninth and
D streets.
Lehman, who was born in Wash
ington on December 10, 1869, began
work at Is as a field trumpeter in
the Marine Corps. He joined the
force August 81, 1892, after holding
down q job as a street car conductor
and trying to sell insurance"
Puzzled by Notation.
His record is studded with COM
mendations-so many of them, in
fact, that he can't remember most
OF them. One notation on his record
puzzles him particularly: October 4,
1906-Given 81 for services"
II don't know what that means"
he said. II don't remember anybody
ever giving me dollar for anything"
One commentator that Lehman
probably never will forget was for
rescuing two men and q woman from
the Academy Of Music fire Of Febru-
airy 20, 1907.
THE building was so full of smoke
that they couldn't find their way
out" he explained. II got 'em out
by cropping my way along the stair
way rail, and then the woman de-
cided to run back in to save canary.
And I had to get her out all over
again-with the Bird"

Fashions Editor OF
THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL


Minneapolis, Oct 28-An interesting
report coming to my desk this morn
ing states that fashions in screen hero
ines change as much as do fashions in
clothes This year call definitely for the
vivacious type. She is feminine, yes,
but not languid. According to this re-
port the glamour girl has faded from
the picture and the real American girl
with her form divine" stands trium-
plant. But let me quote a bit.
"Claudette Colbert, who was once
Cleopatra, now gayly cavorts about on
skis and skates and takes several tum-
bles with extreme good nature Myrna
10y loses the oriental slant of her eyes
and advertises her freckles Merle O.
boron changes from a seductive siren
to healthy English girl. Even the
Slumbering magic that is Marlene shows
signs of awareneSs of the new spirit"
only Greta Carlo seems immune,
and maintains popularity at a pace
that is never faster than stroll. She
Is the last +. as she is the greatest
of the mystery women and her surviv-
al in this breezy age is a tribute to her
greatness"
But there can be only one Carlo
and these days the screen star who has
a bit OF the tomboy behind her is for
tunate. Anna Lee, for example, has
been England's big contribution to
glamourdom. She was rated as number
one in the ranks abroad. She has wavy
silken hair, flashing smile, bright blue
eyes and matchleSs figure. But she
has always been in rebellion against
her beauty, and now she can almost
justifiably feel that fashion has swung
around to her conception of how high
spirited healthy young woman ought tt
behave and look"
"She fought against the glamour
girls title bestowed upon her by ths
studio and press, refused to play draw
ing room roles and argued for high adj
venture and romance. At last she got
her way and in her latest production

Mountain Lake-"Let's not talk about
it," said five-year-old Marian Jungas,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. L. NJ JungaS,
to her younger brother Immediately
after twenty-foot fall in which she
sustained no injuries. She was very
self-conScious, however, about Spilling
water on her new dress from a pail
which stood near by. Marian was visit
ing her grandparents at their upstairs
apartment. While playing on the sec
ond story porch there she lost her
balance and fell to the ground, a dis
lance of twenty feet. 1t so happened
that she got mixed up with a pail of
water and the fact that she got her
new dress wet bothered her more than
the fall. Her only remark was to her
brother, advising that they do not speak
about the occurrence.

Personally, I've never seen
these parking meters, but if
one is to judge from all the
publicity given 'em, a guy has
gotta be very careful about the
type selected Maybe, we ought
to send out return postcards to
all the business men in Hagers-
town, with the following ques-
tions imprinted thereon:

Do you think they will be
mistaken for slot machines, and
if so, what do you think our
chances are of getting permit
from the State authorities to
operate 'em on a fifty-fifty
basis?
And that, my friends, would
probably fill up the postcard.
There's been more talk about
these parking meters than the
War in China, the Stock Mar
ket and the World Series COM
bined, so it must be terribly
important. In fact, the meters
have taken the play away from
the junk yards, the frequently
changed traffic regulations on
Summit avenue and the appar-
emily forgotten plan of months
ago to kill stray dogs via the
sas chamber instead of putting
'em away with bullets.
The parking meter plan has
even caused officials in our
neighboring town of Frederick
to be infected with the filters.
The proposition popped up in
their meeting and according to
the Frederick newspapers, the
Mayor refused to vote on the
question. He probably felt the

SHOOTING COMPLAINT

Complaint was made at Police
Headquarters and also to Judge
George Hicks, of the Juvenile
Court, regarding the possible
careless use of cat rifles. A
resident of the northern section
Of the city in the neighborhood
of Irwin avenue, reported that
three BIB rifles shot and one .22
short came through window in
her home and narrowly escaped
hitting her baby.
