their official opinions to them
selves, but their inquiry has
proceeded far enough to give
them some straight views on
the existing situation.
For one thing, it is evident to
them that they cannot cure a
lack of business confidence by
passing a law. The old hypo-
dermic needle seems to have lost
its potency. If the unemploy-
ment situation il to be solved
somebody must come forward
with a more tangible suggestion
than has been made so far.
The suggestions made by Bill
Green and General Wood are
good enough, but not new or en-
tirely feasible. No one seems
to be able to diagnose the sure
cause or prescribe the sure cure
in a satisfactory way.
Committeeman have not given
up hope. They are going to
call on the chemical, textile,
railroad, steel, coal, agriculture
and other industries, in hopes
that after all the evidence is in,
someone will be smart enough to
figure it out.
THE Southern compromise on
Il the wage-hours bill is to be
offered in the House today by
Representative Dies. 1t will pro-
vide a Accent minimum and a
4O-hour maximum, with a sharp
differential. Under the differ
entail the lowest wage possible
would be 25 cents and the high
est number of hours would be
A.
The differential would be
made operative by State agen-
cies without Federal admins
tration. Northern Democrats
will not commit themselves u11-
til they study it, but it has
strong backing which will cause
it to be given serious considera-
tion.

W.O. DOsh Recently Bought
PercherOn Mare In Illinois

Perchercns are "going Hollywood"
this year--lights- camera-movies-
radio-action. The West Coast thought
so much of the attention value of the
National Percheron show that it has
offered a purse of $4,000 to have the
National Percheron show staged at
the Los Angeles County Fair at POM
ona, California, just about 80 miles
from Hollywood.
Among the Percheron breeders who
will benefit by the great potential
market in the West which it is hoped
this show will open up is w. o. Dosh
of Gaithersburg, who recently pur-
chased the coming seven year old
black Percheron mare, Nellie Bell

Parents Warned To Get
Diphtheria InOculatiOns

The continued occurrence of diph-
liberia cases in small numbers in
Montgomery County is cited by DIR.
v. L. Ellicott, County Health Off
Ger, as warning to parents to pro-
tect their babies with toxoid inocula-
tions. While the greatest incidence
has been in the central part of the
county, sporadic cases have also
occurred elsewhere. A recent infec-
ton in a one year old child was
fatal.
Records show that only about one
third Of the county's children of
pre-school age have received pre-
ventive treatment. Parents frequently
make the error of postponing inocu-
lations until the child goes to school.
This allows the child to pass through
the most dangerous period without
protection. Children are quite apt
to be exposed long before they start
school. Older children and adults
frequently bring the infection to the
home either as healthy carriers of
the germs or as mild unrecognized
cases.

Clay Plummer Says
Fusion Ticket Will
Likely Be Named
Republican Campaign Committee
To Meet Tonight; Leaders
Silent

Sentiment among anti-organization
Democrats is overwhelmingly in favor
Of joining with Republicans to put a
fusion ticket in the field this fall, Clay
Plummer, fusion member of the Board
of County Commissioners declared
this week.
While declining to forecast what
action the Republican Campaign Com
mittee, headed by Robert L. McKeev-
er, would do at it's meeting Thursday
night, Mr.. Plummer said the anti or
ganization Democrats would undoubt-
edly offer to cooperate in another
fusion campaign.
Mr.. McKeever announced after a
fOur-hour session of his committee
last week that no decision had been
reached as to joining with the anti
organization Democrats, but that an
other meeting would be held Thurs
day, by which time the latter group
would have time to poll it's precinct
leaders and formulate definite pro-
gram.
This poll is now being conducted
and, according to Mr.. Plummer, is
favorable to entering on a fusion
campaign. The division of sentiment
in the Republican ranks was not an
nounced but was reported to be Is in
favor of fusion ticket against IL in
favor of straight Republican ticket.
Among the fusion ticket proponents
is Frank H. Karn, president of the
County Board.
The name of Joseph A Cantrel, fus-
ion representative from Montgomery
County in the Legislature, has been
mentioned as chairman of the anti-or-
ganization Democrats Campaign
Committee in the event fusion ticket
is consummated. This committee
would serve jointly with Mr.. McKeev-
er's committee in conducting the cam

Additional Voting Places
To Be Made In County
For The Next Election

Because of the biggest increase in
the registered vote in che lower part
of Montgomery County in recent
years and which is being further
added to at the daily sessions of the
Permanent Board of Registry for the
county, additional polling places will
have to be created in Bethesda and
Wheaton districts before September
IL, when the Democrats and Republi-
cans will hold their primary elections,
the Board of Supervisors of Elections
has about decided.
Creation at the last regular session
of the General Assembly Of two new
election precincts in the Silver Spring
area has relieved the situation in
Wheaton district to some extent, but
it is estimated that this years regis
tration will boost the total enrolment
of voters to such an extent that sever
al new voting places will have to be
provided in that section.
1t is at Bethesda and Chevy Chase
where additional polling places are
most needed, it is understood. For the
past several weeks the Election Board
has been giving the matter attention,
and while nothing has definitely been
decided upon, it is thought that some
thing like 10 additional places to vote,
six in Bethesda and four in Wheaton
district, will be found necessary.

Grand Jury Finds
Indictments Against
3 On The Payroll
Fusion Employees Named In
Charges; Slot Machines
Criticised

&c
Three Montgomery County employ
ees were indicted yesterday by the
Grand Jury. These men, appointed by
the Fusion party, are at liberty under
$1,000 bonds.
P. Ray Souder, former supervisor
OF county aid was named in Sc indict-
ments charging forgery of Relief
checks for approximately $500.
Harry M. Williams, clerk of the
Police Court, and James B. King.
his assistant, were indicted Jointly
on charges of embezzling $1,O76.40
from January Is, 1885, to October q.
1887. King was suspended several
months ago and at about that time
States Attorney James H. Pugh
charged that records of dog licenses
issued in the county had been
altered to show licenses issued for
male dogs in instances where female
dogs had been licensed. The fee for
females is 81; for males, 81.
The routine report of the Grand
Jury follows:
We, The Grand Jury submit the fol-
lowing report:
!. The Grand Jury thoroughly ex-
amined LOT cases, after diligently ex-
aiming 112 witnesses presented %
indictments.
2. Accompanied by the. Sheriff and
the Custodian of the County Jail, the
Grand Jury visited the different pris-
on blocks, and found the entire insti-
tuition in a sanitary and satisfactory
condition, with the exception of the
condition of certain blocks, which the
sheriff is very anxious to have re-
paired or replaced. We recommend
that this be taken care of at once.
3. Upon inspection of the Jail, we
find that there are Is white males, 81
cololed males and one colored female,
making total of 81 incarcerated.
4. The Grand Jury inspected the
Court House, the County Buildings in
Bethesda and Silver Spring, and the
County Farm at Rockville, and found
conditions good and generally satis-
factory.
The minor repairs necessary to the
County buildings the Grand Jury was
assured would be taken care of.
At the Aims House we found that
there are II inmates consisting of 2
white females, IA white males, and
five colored males.
The inspection of the Aims House
disclosed en- adequate supply Of food,
and the farm and live stock in excel
lent condition.
5. The Chief of Police read his re-
port which was heard and considered.
The Grand Jury recommends that a
more thorough investigation be made
of the slot machine situation and
gambling devices with particular at
tention paid to the slot machines adj
jacent to schools in the county.
6. From the evidence presented to
this Grand Jury there apparently ex-
lists a careless handling of approvals
Of recommendations for relief from
the Office Of the Supervisor of County
Aid, through the Office of the County
Commissioners, the Treasurer's Office.
We refer particularly to the list as
submitted, and recommend the use Of
individual vouchers in each case with
adj rect approval by the County Com
missioners of each and every member.
z. The Members of the Grand Jury
appreciate the manner in which the
cases were presented, and are very
grateful for the courteous assistance
and efficiency shown by the States At
torney.
