MORTIMER M ELKAN vs. STATE OF MARYLAND.
    
      Decided March 18th, 1914.
    
    Appeal from the Criminal Court of Baltimore City.
    The facts are stated in the opinion of the Court.
    The cause was argued before Boyd, C. J., Briscoe, Burke, Thomas, Pattison, Urner, Stockbridge and Constable, JJ.
    
      Joseph S. Goldsmith, for the appellant.
    
      Edgar Allan Poe, the Attorney-General, for the appellee.
   Constable, J.,

delivered the opinion of the Court.

The appellant in this case was indicted, tried and convicted of a violation of the provisions of Chapter 94 of the Acts of Assembly of 1910. By this appeal the appellant raises the question of the constitutionality of the Act.

The facts and points raised are identical with those presented in Sweeten v. State, ante, page 634, argued on the same day. An opinion has been filed in that case, setting out the reasons for affirming the judgment, and we deem it unnecessary to do other in this case than refer to the opinion therein filed for the reasons why we affirm the judgment in this case.

Judgment affirmed, with costs t& the appellee.

Stockbridge, J., dissented.
