HMsvNe, Va.
BY the Associated Press.

RICHMOND, March "a recon-
mendation that a study be made of
the town ordinances of Hillsville in
order that illegal ordinances may
be repealed" and a conflict with
State laws corrected was contained
In an audit report submitted yester-
day to Gov. Darden by State Audi
tor L. Mccarthy Downs.
Mr.. Downs reported that fines had
been collected by the Carroll County
town in cases involving violations of
numerous town ordinances which
appeared to us to be illegal"
The audit report said ceases were
tried under ordinances purportedly
paralleling sections of the Alcoholic
Beverage Control Act and the Motor
Vehicle Act, and numerous criminal
laws of the State, which we do not
believe the town may parallel.
go These cases should have
been tried as violations of State laws

Held in Higgins Death,
Are Not Serious

Stanford Carrier, 26-year-old prize
fighter, was in Rockville Jail today
after slashing his wrists with a
razor blade yesterday in his cell
following a plea of not guilty in
Silver Spring Police Court to a
charge of obtaining an automobile
registration certificate under a false
name.
Carrier, who lives in the 1900

trict police on $1,000 bond following
his arrest February in connection
with the New Year Day death of
Paul Higgins, SIS, World War vet
eran, in an alley in the 1900 block
Of Kenyon street NV.
The Silver Spring case was heard
by Judge Ralph G. Shure, who said
he would give his verdict Friday.
Pending the decision, Carrier was
committed to the Rockville jail.
Fred Heine, Police Court clerk,
who. with Montgomery County
Policeman John Duvall, accom-
panied Carrier to Rockville, said the
suicide attempt took place after
Carrier had been placed in his cell.
The wounds, which were not serious,
were treated by the Jail physician.
While en- route to Rockville. Mr..
Heine said, Carrier told Policeman
Duvall to let him go so that he could
be shot while trying to escape"
Carrier was arrested by Washing
ton police following a statement by
nurse at a nearby Maryland hos
pital that an orderly had told her
he and Carrier had robbed Mr..
Higgins of 800, then disposed of the
body in the alley.
At the time Mr.. Higgins badly
crushed body was found, it was
thought he had been the victim of a

in the House yesterday by Delegate
John E. Clark, Democrat, of Har-

Eikton, in Cecil County near the

other. States with rigid marriage
license laws could be married with

Maryland now has a 48-hour watt

0rem' S Plan 10 Speed
Bonds for Postwar
Schools Rejected
Commissioners Cling
To Referendum Proviso
As Guide to Issuance

The Prince Georges County (Md.)
Commissioners yesterday denied a
request by Supt. of Schools Nicholas
Orem to reconsider a resolution
approved last week opposing any
further authorization by the State
Legislature for the issuance of bonds
in the county unless provision is
made for a referendum.
Mr.. Orem previously had urged
the board to indorse a bill authoriz-
ing it to issue bonds up to $500 900
for the construction of new schools
after the war.
In letter to the board, Mr.. Orem
declared that referendum on MS
proposal would involve a heavy"
expense unless deferred until a gen.
eral election.
Since the next general election
would be held only two months be-
fore the 1914 meeting of the Legisla-
ture, Mr. Orem explained, the effort
to be prepared to act promptly by
obtaining Government funds to
match the county's bond issue
would be nullified."
Sees Political Involvement.
Mr.. Orem also asserted that Eek
perience has shown that where a
school referendum is held on gen.
eral election day, 1t becomes SER
iously involved in political angles"
He added that if the proposal was
defeated by the rural vote In a
referendum, ''it would have q tend
ency to accentuate the cleavage al
ready seriously developing between
the two parts of the county" Most
of the new schools which are needed,
he pointed out, would be located in
the heavily populated metropolitan
area of the county.
The commissioners also refused to
grant trailer camp license to John
G. Schaff of Forestville after pro-
tests had been received from the
Board of Education and from resi-
dents of the area.
A $2,460 bid by the Iron Fireman
Sales Corp, Washington, for the
conversion from oil to coal of the
furnaces in the Upper Marlboro
Courthouse was approved by the
board.
Conversion Required.
The board has been notified by the
Petroleum Administration for War
that no fuel oil may be purchased to
heat the courthouse after March Is.
The County Service Building at
Hyattsville already has been con-
verified.
The commissioners also approved
request by the State Roads Com
mission for permission to install
signs prohibiting angle parking in
front Of the County Service Building
on Rhode Island avenue.
County Assessor Thomas w. Bax-
ter asked that the board insert an
advertisement in county tax bills
urging motorists to purchase gaso-
line in the county.
He estimated that 10 per cent of
the motorists in the county buy
gasoline in the District, thus causing
the county to lose at least $25, 900,
which could be used to improve
county roads. The commissioners
took the suggestion under advise
ment.

witness the event. Mrs. Berlett was
questioned by Miss Dorothy Sells,
chief of the personnel supply sec

Mrs. Berlett wore natty blue
single breasted jacket designed
along the same general lines as
women's military service uniforms

tomary visored cap. She will soon
receive silver lapel monograms with
the letters CTCO. The company
bought her a shoulder strap pocket
book, but it proved too small and
inconvenient. With masculine GAL
lantry, the company then presented
her the usual satchel carried by all
their conductors, but which the men
have to buy themselves.
The uniform is made with both
skirt and trousers. Mrs. Berlett pre-
fers trousers for bus driving and
skirt for streetcar conducting. The
company expresses no opinion-it
needs women operators, whether in
Stacks or skirts. 'a<7-
