Lane Orders Study
OF Harness Racine
To Fix State Policy
By the Asseeioted Press


ANNAPOLIS, Md, May 19.-Gov.
Lane gave the green light today to
the State Racing commission for
collecting data needed to formulate
a policy on possible licensing of har-
ness racing tracks.
But, the governor pointed out in
telegram to Commission Chair
man George p. Mahoney, policy
must be established before the COM
mission could consider applications
for permits.
"I should like to be advised as to
that policy for the reason that this
administration must accept ultimate
responsibility for the manner in
which it is conducted" Mr.. Lane
added.
It was the third Of series of
kilograms between the Governor
and Mr.. Mahoney, the outgoing
chairman. Saturday, Gov. Lane or
dered the commission to suspend
arrangements for harness racing
until it heard further from him.
A hearing had been scheduled by
the commission Thursday on appli-
cation for permits. Mr.. Mahoney
cancelled the hearing on receipt Of
the Governors telegram.
However. he wired Gov. Lane that
the applicants had pleaded emer-
gency, and added that failure to
noN the hearings soon might pre-
vent harness racing in Maryland
this year.
In reply, the Governor said he
did not wish the commission to "de-
lay" inquiry into harness racing so
long as 1t is confined to the gather
/ ing of essential data" for policy for
mutation.
A meeting today Of the commits
sioners viii decide whether the
hearing viii come of Thursday, Mr..
IMahoney said.

Union Station Provides Dramas
In Adventures, Misodventures

Charlie here for a visit-these, and
those who welcome them, are the
happy ones.
Among departing travellers, the
children have the fun. The trip is
an adventure, and the station is
wonderful place. They see no rea-
son to "stay right here" Some
times, they become lost, and a mes
sage on the public address system
brings reunion.
Success Is Usual.
In most cases, everything works
out as planned. The departing train
is waiting on the track assigned. All
the children and luggage are gotten
aboard. The loved ones arrive, just
as they said they would.
For example. there was the recent
case of the Marshalls and the Pryors.
Mrs. Benson Marshall Of Falls
Church, Va, took her two children,
Paul, 4, and Nancy, 9, to the station
to meet their grandparents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Howard Pryor of Newell, w. Va.
After checking the train arrival
board, they found the proper gate.
Mrs. Marshall's eyes peered into the
throng of arriving passengers. Soon
they found the familiar faces Of Mr..
and Mrs. Pryor.
Anxiety Confirmed.
Mr.. Pryor picked up his grandson
for q kiss. Mrs. Pryor gave her
granddaughter vigorous hug. Every
one agreed every one else looked well
as the group moved toward the
street.
But nearby an anxious passenger
found she had reason for anxiety.
Unable to find any connection be-
tween the notations on her ticket
and legends on the signs over the
gates, she sought assistance from a
Navy shore patrolman. He examined
the ticket and found her train had
left a few minutes earlier.
AS she left the sailor, the pas
senger wore an "I-knew-something-
like -this-was-going- to-happen" ex-
preston.

Recount Claims
Heard by Group
First Step Is Token
To Settle Maryland
Election Contest

The first step In = Statewide
recount Of ballots in Maryland's
1916 senatorial election is being
taken today by Senate Rules subs
committee headed by Chairman
Jenner, Republican, Of Indiana.
Senator O'Conor, the Democratic
candidate, came out 2,232 votes
ahead in, the November count, but
D. John Markey, his Republican
opponent, challenged the results and
filed formal contest with the Sem
ate. Former Gov. O'Conor was
sworn in as Senator, pending Rules
Committee investigation.
Up to now the subcommittee,
formerly headed by Senator Hicken-
looper, Republican, Of Iowa, has
been rechecking the paper ballots
In five sample counties, and the
voting machine tabulations in Balti.
more and Montgomery County. Tho
purpose was to determine whether
there was sufi1cient ground to justify
a complete recount.
Mr.. Markey Is reported to have
picked up 426 votes In the recheck
OF the voting machines. In the i've
paper-ballot counties there are
$500 ballots in dispute, challenged
by one side or the other.
Senate Democrats contended these
6,600 ballots should be screened and
passed on before anything further
is done. The entire Rules Com.
mittee decided last week, however,
to 60 forward with a recount In
the remaining II paper-ballot
counties, while the $500 disputed
votes in the first group Of counties
are being studied.
Counsel for MIR. Markey will be
given an opportunity at today's
closed subcommittee meeting to
outline their clairas. Lawyers for
Senator O'Conor also will be present.
It has been estimated the State
wide recount will not be completed
until August, by which time Con-
gress probably will have adjourned
for the year. This means the con-
test will not be settled until the
next session.
Serving on the subcommittee with
Chairman Jenner are Senators
Bricker, Republican, OF Ohio, and
Myers, Democrat, of Pennsylvania.

Joy and pathos stroll together
through the house of hello and
goodby.
With it's daily thousands of arrivals
and departures, the Union Station
concourse is at once a happy and
lonely place.
Bonds of blood and friendship are
strong here. Here, too, can be seen
traces of mans age-old instinct to
seek company in the face Of the
unknown.
The unknown in a railroad sta
ton? Z
A vague fear something might go
wrong seems to tighten the little
family group arrayed about the
train gates. A look of mild anxiety
is the badge of the occasional
traveller.
Time, Place Important.
Perhaps the many strange sounds
which bounce about the huge vault
ed room are responsible.
There Is an intense awareness OF
the Importance of time and place.
Be at the right gate before the
train arrives.
Be at the right gate before the
train leaves.
Hundreds Of people are concen-
trating on one or the other of these
objectives. Thus preoccupied, they
bump into one another.
Must stay together. Mustn't get
separated. Must watch the luggage.
These are people waiting to leave
Must watch the gate. Hope they
made the train. Wonder if it'll be
on time? So easy to miss them in
this crowd.
Some Without Greetings.
These are the greeters.
The constant traveller of the bust
ness world moves mechanically
through the myriad minor dramas.
Rarely does any one see him of OF
greet him. A train ride is just a
long streetcar ride.
Where, then, Is the joy?
It's found in the bright smile OF
recognition, the enthusiastic hug,
the resounding kiss.
