 CROSS-EXAMINED

 The majority of tne defendants are expected to take the stand in their own defense. But defense counsel are keeping their plans for calling of witnesses to themselves. Attorney Crawford admitted he had called 8 dozen witnesses only after a large number of former city hall employees had been observed in the courtroom.
 The trial last week went through one of its most trying eraS. Prac- tically all the testimony was of a technical nature. and hundreds of spectators who were attracted by the expected color of the first day of the defense last Tuesday, failed to return for the second day.
 Three witnesses were called in behalf Of Alderman last week, in- cluding a bank clerk, @ welfare bookkeeper and himself.
 Attorney Crawford conceded that other defense counsel will have the right to cross-examine his client, If his testimony warrants 1t. He pointed out that Charles William son, who testified for the state had been cross-examined by defense counsel, and stated that there was no difference created by the fact Williamson was 8 state witness, while Alderman is 8 defense witt ness.
 Those who predicted that the trial would be over by early Sep tember or late August, considered retraction today, in view of the time being taken for the defense of 8 single defendant.
 Illness, such as that of City As- sessor John H. Crary, which caused an early adjournment yesterday, could figure prominently in added delay of the trial.

That failure was now compounded, he pointed out, by a similar unbudgeted appropria- tion of $225 900 ,000 added to the bill signed last night but without pro- vision of tax revenue to pay for 1t.

TWO COUNTIES

fWicomico And Montgomery

Conference Of 1888
BALTIMORE AWARDED
SPECIAL HONORS ALSO

Two Maryland Counties-Wicomico
and Montgomery-won special honors
in the annual Rural Health Conserva-
ton Contest conducted in 1888 under
the joint direction of the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States
and the American Public Health AS
sociation, according to announcements
received by DIR. R. Fl. Riley, Dlrec-
tor of the State Department of Health
from the Health Conservation Com
wittee. Wicomico won first place and
Montgomery received an award OF
merit among the competing counties
in the Eastern division of the coun-
try.
For contest purposes, the country IS
divided into six geographical divisions
Northwestern, Eastern, Southeastern,
North Central, South Central, and
Western. The states are divided into
approximately 5000 counties. Less
than a fourth of these have full-timed
health service. Only those counties
that meet certain requirements with
respect to organization and to full
time health activities are eligible to
take part in the contest. The awards
are based on permanent attainments
in public health and particularly on
the effectiveness with which county
is meeting its health problems.
Similar contests are held for cities
and each city or county taking part is
appraised by a committee of exper-
fenced health authorities representing
all parts of the country. The SER
vices on which rural communities are
graded, include the provisions made
to insure safe water supplies; ade-
quate and sanitary sewage disposal
systems; to reduce infant and mater
nal deaths; to combat tuberculosis
and syphilis; to protect its citizens
against other communicable diseases;
to protect and promote the health of
children; the school health program;
nursing service for prenatal, infant
and preschool groups; the sanitary
supervision of milk and other food
supplies; participation by physicians
and dentists in. the general health pro-
gram and the general health education
program carried on in the county.
Forty counties won special honors
in the contest. There were three
other "firsts" besides Wicomico-
Cattaraugus County, New York, in
the Northeastern Division; Charles
ton County, South Carolina in the
Southeastern; and Los Angeles Coun-
ty, California in the Western Divi-
sion. All the rest received awards
of merit. The counties in the East
ern Division to which that award was
made included in addition to Mont
gomery County, Maryland, six coun-
ties in Kentucky, and one, each in
Virginia, Tennessee and North Caro-
lima.
Baltimore City was again awarded
special honors in the Health Conser-
walton Contest for Cities, for having
maintained its high standard of health
administration, after having won first
place among the larger population
groups in several consecutive con-
tests.
