A CHANGE in THE POLICY
WILL NOT ASK NATIONAL LEGISLA-
TION AGAINST sCALPERS.
An Interesting Compilation Of Statis-
tics-Present Method of Signal
ing Reducing Fatalities.

The general passenger agent of one of
the trunk lines is quoted as saying that
the ticket scalpers will be driven out of
business without any special legislation.
He says: ut Is true the scalpers are still
able to give us annoyance, but not TO any
such extent as they did formerly, chiefly
because the roads upon which they depend
ed for their deals and supplies no longer
take care of them. Their number and their
work has been minimized to such a degree
that those still in the business find it very
hard work to get along unless they took
warning in time and had sufficient means
to make other Investments. This several
have done and may be expected to disap-
pear from the field altogether when their
new interests yield them an income suf-
hcient to enable them TO withdraw. This
reduction in their number and of their
resources, and the consequent decrease
in the troublesome effects of their bust
ness, will materially lessen the need OF
special legislation, so that / think there
will not be so much need of further effort
to secure the passage of a national law
prohibiting ticket scalping. The railroads
nave learned the wisdom of using the
power that is within themselves to kill
ticket scalping without legislation. and
they are ~indisposed TO continue the big
expense they were under in maintaining
a fund and bureau at Washington in sup
port of the bill pending in Congress"

Mr.. Blakeney as a Reformer
From the Towson pemocrat.

In the campaign of 1895 Mr.. Albert A.
Blakeney. the Cotton Trust Candidate for
Congress from this district, was candidate
for County Commissioner. He was swept
into Office by the Republican tidal wave Of
that year. During that campaign Mr..
Blakeney carried in his inside pocket a
pamphlet entitled 'sthe voters catechism'
which was distributed throughout the coun-
ty as campaign document. In it was a
severe arraignment of the Democratic party
for debt of about s75, 900 which was
occasioned by terrible flood several years
before, when the county lost number of
bridges, the Democratic Board of Commits
sioners believing it to be their duty to create
this debt and rebuild the bridges rather
than subject the taxpayers to the incon
yeaience of doing without them until the
next annual levy.
Mr.. Blakeney at every Republican mass
meeting in the county severely criticised
and condemned the Democratic Board for
this debt, and at every meeting wound up
his speech by saying as peroration
'sThe Republican ship of State that will
start for Annapolis after the election, with
Governor Lowndes on board, will unload
part of her crew at Towson. | will be
among them and l will show the people
what becomes of their money
1t is unfortunately fact for Baltimore
county that part of thescrcw did stop at
Towson and that Mr.. Blakeney was one of
them. He was elected chairman Of the
County Commissioners Board, and domi-
mated it, which was composed of two Re-
publicans and one hold-over Democrat
One of the first things done by the Re-
publican Board was to select an expert ac-
countant to go over the books of the county
and report the exact debt. This was done,
aud after lengthy examination at consid-
cradle cost to the county, the report showed
debt of $92, 567.67.
Mr.. BIakeney then had full swing to
show how as Reformer he could get rid
of this debt and run the county during his
term on the economical lines promised in
his speech. Without going into particu-
lars, an examination Of facts and figures in
the Commissioners Office shows his term to
have been charactized by the most reck-
less, useless and extrayagant expenditure of
the taxpayers money and when the cleo
tons of 1899 came along the taxpayers
were astonished and shocked at the start

Sault Ste Marie General Dearborn noted
an ebb and flow of one and one half feet
of water in two and half hours.
Lake Erie has been known to rise from
seven to twenty feet in few hours. A
few years ago at Cleveland the lake sud
denly rose five feet In 1886 Lake Michi-
gan rushed up to height of seven feet
above the ordinary level of Milwaukee.
In that same year the water fell six feet
in Chicago harbor and somewhat less in
the lake within few minutes High
masted schooners careened to one side and
the big poles knocked together confusedlY.
1t looked as if the Chicago river would he
drained dry in half an hour. and the es !
perience has never been forgotten among
the Chicago seamen. In 1913, it is said,
the same thing occurred.
In addition to these sudden and inexpli-
cable changes in the lake level there is .
tolerably well defined periodical movement
of the surface extending over number Of
years. Sometimes it is claimed that this
movement required seven years, sometimes
ten years Ossian Guthrie and Others de-
clare that the movement is not periodic,
but that it usually extends over from two
to ten years. Then there is an annual
rise of the lake from January TO June,
caused by the ordinary spring rainfall
which runs the level of the lake up about
one foot higher in June than in January.
For thirty years conseeutively the spring
rise was found to be fourteen and one half
inches. A series of heavy spring rain
falls will raise the level of the lake three
or four feet above datum for number Of
years, and series of droughts will reduce
it correspondingly,
Beginning with 1847, 0ssian Guthrie
has kept record Of the fluctuations ofthe
level of Lake Michigan In 1877, as has
been stated, Lake Michigan went very low
From l847 TO 1859, with occasional
lapses, it crept up nearly three feet above
datum From 1859 to 1868 it fell, then
it swung back two and one half feet above
datum in 1876, ran down in 1879, going
up abruptly in the spring of 1880 From
1880 to 1886 the lake. level rose three
feet. 1886 to 1892 it fell about four feet.
In the spring Of 1898 it rose fifteen in
ches in few days time. Since 1893
the lake has been going down, and during
most Of the last fall and this spring it has
beenbelow the ] 847 mark Today, owing
to the usual rise from rainfalls, the lake is
bioher than II was before the onening az
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1900-10-27

January, February and March the lake
level was just about what it was in De-
cember of 1899, although each days re-
cord shows variation of several inches.
On January IL there was variation in
the lake level of one foot From Febru-
AIRY L l to February IL in 1894 the lake
level at the foot OF Randolph street rose a
little over two feet
These daily fluctuations of from six inch
es to two feet are accounted for, engi-
neers believe, by winds and by barometric
pressure. A strong east wind will easily
raise the surface of the lake here two feet
Again, if the atmospheric pressure all over
the surface of Lake Huron is suddenly re-
duced, the water will rush through the
straits from Lake Michigan, and Huron
will rise, lnysteriously, perhaps, on per-
fectly ealia day.
Engineers at the Office of the Drainage
Board estimate that if no rainfall were to
reach Lake Michigan, and the maximum
flow Of 300, 900 cubic feet of water were
drawn off through the drainage canal, it
would take little over eight years to
reduce the level Of Lake Michigan one
foot As a matter Of fact, the annual rain
fall always produces waste overflow past
Niagara which greatly exceeds that drawn
off by the drainage canal. If the water
were not taken through the canal it would
go over Niagara during spring freshets.
In general engineers agree that the physics
of Lake Michigan and of all the great
lakes has never been studied accurately,
and that the mysterious movements Of the
immense inland seas offer comparatively
unworked field for useful and scientific re.
