Legislature Is Likely
Substantial Reduction OF State
Income Tax Seems Probable

Governor O'Conor has announced
that state departments had saved
$1,072,509 in the fiscal year just end
ed, and sources close to him said they
believed a special legislative session
to cut the income tax was now Gin the
books"
Two weeks ago treasury officials
had estimated the savings, in rever-
sions from unexpended departmental
balances, would total $925,000.
The new figure was announced after
a check of the books at the close of the
fiscal year, October 1, by Joseph O'C.
McCusker, chief deputy State Comp
troller. The soaring State surplus al
ready has led to forty per cent cut
in the real estate tax for the next two
years.
While Governor O'Conor has limited
such special session may be called,
he has not made definite announce
ment.
Commenting on the savings he said
he was Every much gratifed at the re-
suits and | feel sure that all State de-
partments have shown a splendid
spirit Of cooperation in further reduc-
ing the taxes of the people of Mary

On Construction Job
Accident in the West

William Henry Glotfelty, of Spirit

gymnasium at grade school there.
They were engaged in excavating at
the foot of the wall which formed the
outside of a huge coal bin toward the
rear of the school building. Pressure
of coal on the inside of the bin forced
the wall to buckle out, crushing the
workmen. Other men in the crew
fled to safety. Glotfelty was almost
buried under the heavy mass of con-
crete, his head and shoulders remain
inlg above the debris. He became I'M
conscious and was dead when eXtri-
Gated

1883, and was aged IS years. He is
survived by his widow, Mrs. Ida Glot-
felty, a daughter Wanda, 10, and a

Hitchins Is Named to
State Tax Commission

Owen E. Hitchins, Cumberland, was
appointed to the State Tax Commits
sion by Governor O'Conor Hitchins, a
Republican, succeeds DR.. Thomas w.
Koon, Cumberland, who resigned to
take position with the State Indus
trial Accident Commission.
Hitchins is president of lumber
concern and member of the Upper
Potomac commission engaged in
building the huge Savage River dam.

appoint Western Maryland Repub-
lican to the vacancy, as the other two
members of the commission, William
L. Henderson and J. DeWeese Carter,
are both Democrats.
O'Conor said he appointed Hitch
ms because the persons with whom
he took counsel favored him because
of his experience and success in bust
ness activities. He is a native of
Frostburg, 55 years old, graduate of
Columbia university in mining en-
cheering.

JENNINGS WOMAN
SHOT IN RIGHT
LEG BY HUSBAND
Mrs. Virginia Swauger in Frost
burg Observation-Disclosures
Are Searching for Albert
Swauger

Mrs. Virginia Swauger, 26, of near
Jennings, has been patient at
Miners hospital, Frostburg, since
early Monday morning suffering
from gunshot wounds in her right leg
which she said were the result of a
discharge from shot gun fired by
her husband, Albert Swauger, 80, a
former WPA worker.
The shooting, she said, took place
about midnight Sunday in their home,
the Bowser house, and was witnessed
by her mother, Mrs. Myrtle Cottrill
and sister, Mrs. Grace Powell, of
Rivesville, w. Va, near Fairmont;
and two Garrett county youths,
Everett Wilburn and Thomas Hoover.
The only other occupants of the
house, she said, were her two sons,
one aged 3 years and the other an
infant of two months.
Swauger Still On The Loose
Swauger has not as yet been To-
Gated but Corporal Thomas Currie Of
the State Police and Sheriff ]. w.
Owens are making a thorough search
of the neighborhood 1t is thought
that he is hiding in the nearby woods.
Corporal Currie said members of his
family believed he would appear soon
and give himself up to authorities.
Mrs. Swauger told police that her
mother and sister had been visiting
her for the past week and that her
husband had been drinking cider ex-
cessively from three barrels he had
stored in the cellar.
He had been in an "ugly mood" for
several days, she said, and acted in a
threatening manner Sunday Fearing
violence, she said, Wilburn and
Hoover were urged to come to the
home to try to persuade Swauger to
stop drinking.
Police were told that Swauger set
stick of dynamite off outside the
house near midnight and came in and
told his wife that he tried to commit
suicide. He then said that he was
going to put stick of dynamite
under the house and blow them all up,
police were told. Everybody left the
house and when Mrs. Swauger, after
speaking to her husband, who, she
reported, had a gun in his hand, was
re-entering the house, received the
discharge from the gun.
She was taken to Grantsville by
Edward Platter and after receiving
first aid treatment from a physician
there, was taken to Miners hospital.
Neil C. Fraley, States Attorney,
said that when apprehended he would
be charged with assault with intent
to kill, and would be held for action
of the Grand Jury.

The fact that Judge Sloan is Re-

Most Ideal Fall Season
Probably Now At An End

A rainstorm today and the pre-
dicted approach of colder weather,
will probably ring down the curtain
on what has been termed most ideal
fall season on the mountain top.
Yet to appear is a real killing
frost, although what it would kill
now, after all crops have been har-
vested, is question, but thus far the
temperature has gone no lower than
27 degrees, which occurred one day
this week The highest reading of the
week was 49,
Hardy flowers are still blooming
and some gardens are still producing
vegetables.
Colder weather for the weekend
has been predicted for the entire east
coast.
