| Saturday, March 15, 1924—Page 8 THE JEFFERSONIAN, TOWSON, MARYLAND COOLIDGE ORDERS PROBE OF NEW SCANDAL. AFTER DEMOCRATIC RESOLUTION. Latest Mess Said To Involve Two Members Of Congress, And Is In Line With General Trend Of Al-legeed Corruption Under G. O. P. In Capitol. (Continued from Page 1) prosecution of these cases, and it should be stated that he showed better speed than he did in ordering prosecution in the Teapot Dome oil scandal, which was not done until Senator Walsh of Montana had introduced a resolution calling upon the President to appoint independent counsel, and it was certain that the resolution would pass. The President's delay in the Teapot Dome prosecution is comparable to his delay in the Boston police strike case in which at first he could find no reason to act, and then after the strike was broken and law and order restored by the Democratic mayor of Boston, the President called out a militia, issued a law and order statement and got credit for what the Democratic mayor had done. The "Coolidge Myth," so far as the Boston police strike is concerned, has been pretty well exposed, and the "Coolidge Myth" in so far as it relates to the prompt grasp and courageous handle-ing of a crisis since he became President is now analagous to a "fade-out" on the screen. BILL FILED HERE FIRST TELEGRAPH MESSAGE FLASHED OVER WIRES THROUGH THIS COUNTY Two Years After "Iron Horse" Made Its Victorious Run From Baltimore To Ellicott City, Artist "Stumbled" Over Idea Which Means Much To Modern Business. Trustee For G. E. Ryan Dockets Case Against Spring Grove Asylum. (Continued from Page 1) jury in the Criminal Court of Baltimore city on January 28 last, on the charge of having murdered his wife, the verdict of the jury being: "Not guilty by reason of insanity—insane then and insane now"; that Ryan was thereupon committed to Spring Grove State Hospital; that on Feb. 6th Ryan was brought before Judge Henry Duffy, of the Baltimore City Court on a writ of habeas corpus, and notwithstanding the testimony of Drs. Arthur P. Herring, J. Percy Wade and Edward N. Brush that he had completely recovered his reason, he was ren anded back to the hospital. The petition further states that Ryan is a disabled veteran of the World War, having been wounded by shrapnel, and that he is in need of treatment at a properly equipped hospital or clinic rather than an insane asylum. Judges Offutt and Preston signed an order upon the petition requiring the defendants to show cause on or before March 25 why the relief prayed should not be granted. (Continued from Page 1) iastic when he explained its workings and the click- click of the machine recording the message in dots and dashes seemed marvelous to- them. After numerous delays the invention was patented in the United States and France; Congress was asked for an appropriation of $30,000 to erect a telegraph line upon which to try out the Morse idea. In 1842 Morse was broke, crushed from the want of funds, and in a letter to a friend said: "I fear all will fail because I am too poor to risk the trifling expense which my journey to and residence in Washington will cost me. Nothing but the consciousness that I have an invention which is to mark an era in human civilization, and which is to contribute to the happiness of millions would have sustained me through so many and such lengthened trials of patience in perfecting it. Congress appropriated the money, but there were people who thought it might just as well have been thrown into the sea. The line was built from Baltimore to Washington, and necessarily a goodly portion of it was in Baltimore county. A year after the first pole was erected the first message flashed over the wires: "What hath God wrought?" At the time a big convention was being held in Baltimore, and Morse decided to show what service the telegraph could render. A man named Wright had been nominated for Vice-President and word was telegraphed him in Washington and his answer "No" came back. In 1845 the trial line was opened for business, twelve years after the young artist came back from Europe. The first price established was a cent for four letters. Morse would have gladly sold his patent rights to the Government, but his offer was rejected; later when the Government would have been glad to buy, the business had gained such proportions that the sale price was prohibitive. CRIMINAL DOCKET READY [ "OPEN" MEETING CALLED The criminal docket for the March term of Court has been prepared by State's Attorney H. C. Jenifer, and contains thirty-five cases, two of which are for murder. Trial of the docket will begin on March 24th, concluding on April 3rd. ----------o---------- MUST PUNISH GUILTY, SAYS McADOO. TEDDY'S SON SENT THE "DEVIL DOGS" TO OIL LANDS (Special to The Jeffersonian) William G. McAdoo, candidate for the Democratic Presidential nomination, returned to his home in Los Angeles, California, after testifying in the oil lease investigation at Washington, breathing a demand that the "guilty must be brought to punishment." He said: "The shocking revealations at Washington of betrayal of public interest must give profound concern to every lover of our institutions and to every patriotic American regardless of party. "These transactions must be probed to the bottom and the guilty brought to punishment. This is not a question of party politics. It involves the life of the nation. "The duty of the Government is no less to punish those who are guilty than to protect those who are innocent. No attempt to divert attention from the guilty should be permitted." In a brief speech from the train platform at Pasadena, McAdoo made this statement: "I have this to say and I say it with real meaning. I would rather have my Californa friends, or live in California than be President of the United States." Cockeysville Imp. Asso. Will Discuss Advisability Of Closing Beaver Dam Crossing-. An "open" meeting of the Cockeysville Improvement Association to discuss the advisability of closing entirely the Beaver Dam Crossing of the Pennsylvania Railroad will be held Tuesday evening in Firemen's Hall, Marble Hill. This is a very serious question, as is involves re-routing of one of our county roads and the diversion of additional traffic to the York Road crossing. At the same time the proponents of the movement claim that the danger to life and property at the crossing justifies a change. The sentiment of those using this crossing as well as the public at large is eagerly sought. Mr. Samuel A. Green, Roads Engineer of Baltimore County, has been invited to attend as has also a representative of the Pennsylvania railroad Co. STATE DEMOCRATIC WOMEN TO MEET.
