THE SUN, BALTIMORE. WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 19, 1923. proposal, it is believed, would eliminate Democratic Convention To Name Four Candidates Contributions For Milk And Ice Fund. PLANS FALL DRIVE FOR CHARITY FUND HAYNES TO GET DATA ON HILL'S WINE TEST MAIN NEW HEAD OF G. 0.

P. GROUP MONTGOMERY HIDING IN CANADA, ISREPORT "Blind Pool" Head SaicLTo Be Guarded By Private Detectives. muni mm- this situation. Drive Planned. The projected campaign would be less of a drive than an inquiry into chances for renewed subscriptions, it is stated.

The usual organization of teams with personal solicitation, according to the committee's suggestion, would not be employed unless funds obtained by circularized request did not bring in the required amount. Great difficulty in obtaining the desired sum is not anticipated, it is said, since Baltimore, as a whole, now shows a larger disposition to give for charity than at any time since the war drives. The report of Louis S. Zimmerman, treasurer of the Alliance, at the meet ing yesterday, confirmed this belief. One hundred voluntary contributions, totaling nearly $3,000, have been received by the Alliance since the opening of the Japanese relief campaign, Mr.

Zimmerman said, from persons who were not on the association's subscription lists. He believes interest in charities increased by this latest Red Cross work. Milk And lee Fond Cited. Mr. Zimmerman added that the marked success of the Milk and Ice Fund during the past several years was excellent proof of the people's willingness to give.

Basis for confidence in the new plan also was found in the fact that the Alliance since its 1923 drive has been able to meet all demands, all obligations. In this he finds proof of the people's interest. It is not ex- pected that 1924 demands will exceed the present year's unless some unusual crisis arises. This general generosity of the people is attributed in great part to the prosperity now prevalent throughout the country. IE Alliance Committee Suggests Campaign As Remedy For Spring Curtailment.

DIRECTORATE TO CONFER Executive Group Expects Little Difficulty In Obtaining Acceptance Of Scheme. Fall campaigning for funds is to be suggested as a remedy for the, usual curtailment, because of money shortage, during the spring of the Baltimore Alliance's charitable activities, it was decided at a meeting of the executive committee, held yesterday at association headquarters, 31 South Calvert street. W. Frank Roberts, president of the alliance, is asked to call a meeting of the board of directors October 2, so that the executive committee may present its plan for approval. Little difficulty is expected in obtaining its acceptance.

Postponement of the drive for money until spring is declared the direct cause of abridged work between January 1, when the fiscal year begins, and time as solicited funds come in. The Alliance, unable to count upon any definite before that time, isn't willing to risk expenditures which it may not be able to back. The committee's 11 Clarence. Mrs. Li.

nation is not what Mr. Hill and the newspaper headlines make it. There is not any real fundamental discrimination. See my letter." "Do you approve of discrimination between the farmer and the city man in making cider? Why was it put into the law?" were the next questions asked Commissioner Haynes. "I am not going to get into any newspaper controversy with Mr.

Hill," he said. "That apparently is what he wants. am not going to satisfy him. My letter speaks for itself. Read" that and you have all I will say on the subject." SUES SOFT DRINK CONCERN Man Seeks S2.000 From Baltimore Coca-Cola Company.

Alleged foreign matter was found in a bottle containing a soft drink bought at a store at 12 and 14 South Patterson Park avenue according to the declaration in a suit for $2,000 damages brought yesterday in the Court of Common Pleas by Henry Lanasa against the Baltimore Coca-Cola Company through Baum and Sykes, attorneys. It was alleged that Lanasa bought the beverage July 6 last and became ill after drinking it. Today We Ritchie, fiordy. Robinton And VVounis To Be Nominated Tomorrow, Four candidates are to be nominated by the Democratic State Convention tomorrow. They are Albert C.

Ritchie, for Governor; S. Gordy, for Comptroller; Thomas II. Robinson, for Attorney-General, and James A. Young, for Clerk of the Court of Appeals. There having been no primary contest for any of the four nominations, no balloting will be necessary, it is said.

According to the present plan, Governor Ritchie will be nominated by Emory L. Coblentz, State Director of Welfare Mr. Robinson by Milton A. Heckord. Adjutant-General, and Mr.

Young by William P. Walsh, former judge. It is expected that Mr. Gordy's nominating speech will be made by an Eastern Shoreman, but his name has not been announced. Emerson C.

Harrington, former Governor, is scheduled to act as chairman of the convention, which, besides nominating the candidates for the four State offices, is to adopt a platform and to elect a chairman of the State Central Committee. J. Enos Ray, the present chairman, is slated for the place. To Erect Repair Shop For Fire Department Structure Will Be Built On OIU City Lot On Key Highway. Erection of a modern repair shop for the Fire Department on the old city lot, Key Highway, near the foot of Webster street, will follow a recommendation yesterday from R.

Walter Graham, City Comptroller. The present shop under the night school rooms of the Maryland Institute, Baltimore street and Market Place, will be abandoned rind the space leased for business purposes. Mr. Graham said the removal of the shops from their present location will be an advantage to the Maryland Institute because of the use of gasoline and other materials likely to cause explosions. In the new location the Fire Board will have facilities for docking the fire-boats for painting and general repairs, thus saving money now paid to shipyards.

Provision for the new shop will be made by the Fire Board in its budget for 1924. The department will be in a position to enlarge the scope of its shop work and may build engines as well as hook and ladder trucks and other apparatus. ADDRESSES WOMEN VOTERS City Service Secretary Tells Of Merit System. W. L.

K. Barrett, secretary of the City Service Commission, addressed the opening fall meeting of Baltimore Chapter, League of Women Voters, yesterday afternoon at 9 East Pleasant street. He spoke on the "City Merit System." Examination of applicants, salaries and the proposed pension were included in his discussion. A business session followed the address. Reports of committees were made and a revision of the league's constitution was discussed.

U. S. PATHOLOGIST NEEDED Vacancy Exists At Hospital In Wa.slting'ton, Report States. The Federal Government needs a pathologist. The salary is $2,500 a year, with promise of advancement to a salary of according to announcement yesterday by the Federal Civil Service Commission.

A vacancy exists at St. Elizabeth's Hospital, Washington. Applications for the position-must be made before November 3. Representative Says He 'Will Keep Drys Informed Of Progress. WARNED BY COMMISSIONER Demands To Know When Regulatory Power Will Step In.

Roy A. Haynes, Federal Prohibition Commissioner, will be kept acquainted with each step of Representative John Philip Hill's wine-making experiments, the Maryland Representative in Congress from the Third district announced yesterday. He is determined, he said, that prohibition agents will have no legal excuse for overlooking what is going on in his basement laboratory. Today, said Mr. Hill, he will receive from a chemist analysis of four different processes of wine-making.

The result of these tests will be forwarded to Washington. About each 10 days thereafter other analyses will be made, he said, and these likewise will be sent to Commissioner Haynes. Activities May Bring Action. Mr. Hill believes that at some stage of the experiment the dry enforcement department of the Government will be compelled to take official notice of his activities.

What will happen then will be another chapter in the proceedings, he said. Mr. Hill has received a letter from James F. Jones, assistant Prohibition Commissioner, in which Mr. Jones stated that the Volstead act did not define the alcoholic content of home-made wines and fruit juices.

Yesterday Mr. Hill received a letter from Commissioner Haynes. This letter, Mr. Hill said, explained that the ramers of the Volstead act had purposely refrained from attempting to interfere with farmers in the manufacture of fruit juices because it was "an old, well-recognized and generally harmless privilege of the citizens of the United States." Mr. Haynes said that comparatively few violations had resulted from this privilege.

Almse Would Be Stopped. "Nevertheless," continues the letter, "should there be a disposition on the part of farmers and manufacturers to abuse the privilege thus granted, this unit will avail itself of the department regulatory power to arrest such ten dencies. "That," said Mr. Hill, "is just th point I want settled. How far can a farmer or manufacturer go before the regulatory power of the department steps in.

Perhaps Mr. Haynes will answer even that query before I am through. Who knows?" Haynes Will Stand Pat On His Letter To Hill From The Sun Bureau. Washington, Sept. 18.

Roy A. Haynes, Prohibition Commissioner, refused tonight to add or detract a word from his letter to Representative John Philip Hill regarding the making of cider and fruit juices, as made public in Baltimore this afternoon by Mr. Hill. Commissioner Haynes was asked to elaborate upon the so-called "discrimination" in the Volstead law in favor of the farmer or rural' maker of cider as against the, city dweller who follows similar methods of cider-making and fermentation. "Not a word to say in addition to my letter," said the Commissi -ner.

"Why is there a discrimination?" he was asked. "If you'll read my letter carefully." he said, "you will find that the discrimi- FAMILY IN QUEBEC HOTEL Bail Of 965,000 To Be Forfeited Unless He Appears For Trial Monday. New York. Sept. 18 (Special).

Austin H. Montgomery, wanted for trial here en a charge of using the mails to defraud investors of more than $1,000,000 in an alleged "blind pool," has been located in Quebec, Canada, it was learned today. Federal authorities in New-York have informed the Canadian immigration officials, of the against Montgomery in the hope Uio he may be deported as an undesirable by the Canadian Government. Montgomery's wife and three caildren are at the Chateau Frontenac, Quebec's leading hotel, but Montgomery hmself, although registered at the same hotel, is hiding in the vicinity, closely guarded by a body guard of private detectives for the double purpose of avoiding being served with court papers and -also as protection from possible attempts to kidnap him. Under $65,000 Boil.

Montgomery is under bail of on the Federal indictment here, based on his operations in the Fidelity and Community Finance Corporations. He also is wanted in Baltimore. When his case was called in the Federal District Court Monday neither Montgomery nor his father, also inflicted, appeared for trial. The case was postponed until Monday, when his bail is to be forfeited if he does not appear. It has been learned that Montgomery crossed the border into Canada on August 10.

The Canadian authorities did not object, because at that" time his status was not known to them. Peter J. McCoy, assistant United States attorney in charge of the case for the Government, said today that the United States treaty with Canada prevents extradition of Montgomery as a fugitive from justice, but that Federal authorities hope Canadian officials wTill institute deportation proceedings and enable Montgomery's return for trial. Papers in the case were forwarded to Quebec Monday night, Mr. McCoy said.

Father Arrested. Detectives and Canadian officials are searching for Montgomery, according to information from Quebec. The elder Montgomery already has been arrested by the Canadian immigration authorities and now is being held at the immigration sheds awaiting a ruling on a habeas corpus petition. An indication that Montgomery will fight his' removal to the United States is seen in the fact that Aloyn Taschereau and Paul Taschereau have been retained as lawyers to represent him. The latter is a son of the former Premier Taschereau.

Montgomery is reputed to have with him in Canada bonds of an estimated value of between $2,000,000 and according to reports received here. Identified As Hold-Up Man. Identified as the man who held up and robbed George W. Parrott, night clerk at the Plaza Hotel, Friday night, Howard Lanahan, 20 years old, who said he lives at 9 West Preston street, yesterday was held without bail for grand jury action by Magistrate John H. Stanford, in Central Police Court.
