Officers.
In a letter addressed to the Police Marshal of Baltimore City, in which he claimed that thieving was going on unchecked by the City police, George Long, president of the George Long Contracting Company, of Canton, paid the Baltimore County police high tribute.
Mr. Long complained to the City authorities that damage amounting to $1,000 and the stealing of tools from his operations has been going on for some time and that the city police seem unable to stop it. He seated before annexation, within 10 hours after a complaint, the county police invariably remedied conditions.
Seven days has been given the city police authorities to remedy conditions; at the end of that time Mr. Long will place men, armed with shotguns, to protect his property.

BILL PUSSES
Enactment To Establish Budget
System Made Possible By
Senator Simmons.
(From the Washington Correspondei^l] of The Jeffersonian.)
President Wilson's recommendation for a budget system is aboqt to be put into effect. A bill providing for its j establishinen^ has_ JJiHS^uj^Vh houses j and is being considered by' conferees. 1
Republican^ will try to take credit; for it, but Dmocrats urged its passage, and Senator McCormick, who had charge of the measure, admitted that Senator Simmons, Democrat, made possible the pending legislation.
"Every member of the committee," said Senator Simmons on the floor of sponsibility that had been placed upotj sponsibility that had been plactd upon him in the framing of the measure and that the country at large, without regard to party, had declared itself in favor of some effective legislation of this character.
"I think the bill is admirably worked out to accomplish the general purpose which the country has with reference to the establishment of a budget system. I do not think there ought to be any party division on the measure. Both parties are thoroughly committed to the principles of the bill. The people of this country will appreciate speedy action upon it."
Senator Simn^ons wrote amendment^ that made the measure workable. His earmarks are upon it, but it is a piece of important legislation on which there was no division* along party lines.
Congress has passed the water power, bill. This legislation was put on its way to enactment by a special committee named by the Democratic Congress at the suggestion of President Wilson. The Republicans wrangled and split over proposed water power measures. An insurgent issue against the "Old Guard," more than a decade ago, was the question of developing the great water power of the country without turning it over to special interests. No real progress was made until the Democrats) took up the matter, and, under the direction of President Wilson, prepared the bill that was recently passed.
This is one of the constructive measures put through in its final form (Continued on page 3—col. 1)
PROPOSED GHARTERi iAPPEARS TO BE
MEETING WITH LITTLE PUBLIC FAVOR
Rumor Has It That A Great Many Members Of Taxpayers' League
Who Fathered Scheme Are Disappointed—Creates
A "One-Man" Government.
The propostd new charter for Baltimore county, the full text of which was published as an advertisement in The Jeffersonian of last week, appears to be meeting with little public favor.
The charter has been pretty generally' discussed around the county seat during the past week and the consensus of opinion seems to be against it. Although the Taxpayers' League led the fight for a charter last fall, and succeeded in electing as members! of the Charter Board the candidates proposed by it, a great many of the members of the League are now plainly dis^ appointed over the charter, as submitted, and do not hesitate to say so. The proposed charter will be the chief topic of discussion at the next meeting of the League and it is considered very doubtful whether the League, as a body, will recommend its- adoption.
Among the objections urged against the proposed charter are that it will create more offices and increase ?salaries and thus enlarge, rather than reduce the administrative expanses of the county. A great many people are opposed" to the idea of a county manager. They do not care to try the experiment of a "one man" government, no matter with what success It has been tried elsewhere. They prefer to reserve to themselves the right to

NEW JUDGE NAMED
Walter W. Preston Of Bel Air
Appointed To Succeed
Allan McLane.
In some circles of Baltimore County the, appointment of Walter W. Preston, of Bel Air, by Gov. Ritchie as Associate Judge of the Third Judicial Circuit, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Judge Allan McLane, came as a surprise, while in others it seems to create little discussion. (
In announcing the appointment, Governor Ritchie stated that Mr. Preston was one of the leading,members of the Harford Bar, had been State's Attorney on two occasions and that he had the endorsement of the members of the Harfofrd Bar without regard to party.
Mr. Preston's appointment gives the Harford Bar equal representation with Baltimore county; the latter however, having the Chief Judgeship. As there is a 'great deal more work in Baltimore county, it was hoped by members here that the appointment would come to this county.

470 CASES SEIZED
Internal Revenue Prohibition
Officers Make Haul At
Catonsville.
The home of A. T. Carroza, at Catonsville, was attacked again for its contents of liquor, but this time it was not by a band of whiskey thieves, but by Internal Revenue and Prohibition Enforcment Officers, who sought entrance armed with a search warrant, and consequently seized 470. cases of "amber fluid."
It is stated that the liquor confiscated belongs to the Triaca Company. who has been mixed up with Internal Revenue Officers for some weeks on the liquor question.
manage, through a board of their own sfelection. and not through an individual to be chosen by the council.
Others are opposed to the adoption of the proposed charter because they do not see how it can "bring about a better administration of the public affairs of the county. While many favor the idea of Raving a local law-making body, so as to secure a measure of home rule, they are not disposed to displant the commission form of gov-government by council, and the appointees of the council. It has been suggested that If the County Commissioners! were given authority to pass purely local laws or ordinances, after proper public notice and hearing, they could do just as well if not better than a council, such as would be created if the new charter is adopted. Even if a council is created at an inevitable yearly expense of approximately $3,000, the county will still be called upon to send its repersent-ativea to the General Assembly, and thus be obliged to help maintain two law-making bodies instead of one, aa at preslent.
The more conservative and clear-thinking citizens of the county, irrespective of their political affiliations, appear to be disposed to "let well enough alone." Like one of Shakespeare's famous characters, they are disposed to say: "Let us bear the ills we have, than fly to ills we know not of." They take the view that the commission form of government which Baltimore county has had, ever since the adoption of the State constitution, is about the simplest and most efficient form of government that it is possible to devise. The number of Commissioner^ under a recent act of the legislature has been reduced from five to three. That a commission of three men, elcted by the people, and responsible alone to the people, may be expected to administer the affairs of the county, just about as well as is humanlv possible; seems to be the opinion still of a vast majority of the taxpayers, and unless there is a denied change in sentiment before the general election the proposed charter is pxpected to have rough sledding.
Cnroner's Jury Holds Maryland And Pennsylvania Railroad Responsible For Recent Wreck.
— Many p.< ,ded their way to
VvooTmrOOk on Sunday to- gov "a glimpse of the wreck which occurred on the Md. & Pa. R. R. at that point late last Saturday afternoon. The jumbled mass of twisted steel and splintered wood tied up all traffic on the road for hours.
The coroner's jury summoned by Justice John T. Hopkins at Towson on Saturday night to investigate, the death of two people killed in the wreck held the ,railroad company responsible, in that it failed to have "a proper signaling systemJi
A head-on collision occurred when a northbound passenger train and a southbound freight on the single tratck road crashed, resulting in the death of J. Wm. Blaney, of Delta, Pa., the engineer of the passenger train, and Luther Peyton, of Baltimore City, fireman on the freight. Three others were hurt: Walter Mulligan, of Delta, Pa., fireman of the ' passenger train, was terribly scalded about the face and his body bruised. Mrs. Samuel E. Kopp. of Belair, was cut about the face, while Mrs. Wm. P. Reilly, of Loch Raven, this county, suffered from shock and bruises.
Peyton's body was removed from the wreck only after his leg had been amputated by Dr. J. M. T. Finney, who happened to be near the scene, and being -without surgical instruments he used an ordinary carpenter's saw and a pocket knife.
The Towson and Roland Park fire companies were dispatched to the scene of the wreck ajnd the members of both began to extricate passengers and cattle. A box car containing cattle was almost opened. and a wrecking crew was compelled to work several hours before they . were released, about 10 being dead. Two bag-srage cars loaded with milk were in the rear of the locomotive of the pas^ senger train, and crushed milk cans and milk were scattered all about the scene.
FRANK A. ZOUCK DROPPED
John N. Mackall Named Chairman of State Roads Commission.
Frank A. Zouck, if Reisterstown, this county, was dropped as the Chairman of th'e State Roads Commission and in his stead Governor Ritchie named John N. Mackall. Mr. Zouck made no active fight for reappointment, stating that he was satisfied to give way to Mr. Mackall, whose work he praised highly.
