FOES OF LIQUOR IN SESSION.
League of Montgomery
County Meets in Rockville.

ROCKVILLE, Md. Jan. 26.-The fourth
annual meeting of the Anti-Saloon League
OF Montgomery County was held in the
town hall here today, President Warren
Choate occupying the chair. Although
the roads of the county were so blocked
that some OF the members were kept from
attending, there was a goodly number
present The election of officers result
ed as follows: President. Warren
Choate; vice presidents, one from each
election district; Fillmore Burriss, Will
liam R. Windsor William r. Andrews.
Asa NJ. Stabler, M b. Montgomery. F. P.
Flournoy. Benjamin II. Miller, Ed G.
Ward, George r. Bell, w. A. Maxwell, C.
w Day. and C. s. Biggs; Secretary, Frank
Higgins and Treasurer, John II. Gassa-
way.
The annual report was read by Presi-
dent Choate. In this report the league
puts itself on record as not being poll
teal party but working for the best IN
terests of the community. The report
urges the members to stay in their
parties. SO they can influence their
parties to nominate good men. II states
further its belief that any candidate of
any party who Is in favor of saloons
can be defeated by a majority so over
whelming as to satisfy the most incred-
ulous. In support OF this the league says:
1t now gives notice that 1t Is the hope
of the league that it shall not be COM
PEELED to take any part in the election or
defeat of any candidate at the next cleo
ton in this county. If it can see salts
factory evidence that the hand of the
whisky power is taken off the throat OF
the parties and their candidates at the
next election. and that good men in favor
of keeping the county clear OF the saloon,
are nominated then this league can be
kept out of the contest, but IL men in
favor of the saloon are nominated then
we give fair notice that we will do all
we can to defeat such candidates ire
spective OF party.
The report recites the large decrease
in the number of saloons in the county,
the number being reduced from seventy
seven to twenty seven, of those who pay
the internal revenue tax. 1t also praises
the present officials OF the county. and
expresses confidence in the juries. The
report commits itself to assist the citi-
zens OF Germantown, who recently gave

you find novelties in ladies' even

Lieut.. L. H. Holiinberger, command
ing the Fourth precinct, recently submit
ted d report, relative to the locat on OF
a patrol box for the use of the officers
detailed for duty on the Long Bridge. He
requested that a box about four feet
square. by eight feet in height be erect
ed and placed near the patrol box on the
city end of the bridge.
Major Sylvester in reporting upon the
request of the lieutenant, stated that the
Long Bridge is one of the most exposed
structures in the District of Columbia,
and he thought it would be humane for
such a box to be erected as that described
in order that the man may enter and get
warm when chilled by their patrol across
the bridge and back. He also recon-
mended that the Superintendent of Re-
pairs be instructed to put up the struc-
ture so that ii can be readily taken down
il experience shows that 1t is impracti-
cable to maintain the box.

points out, has been declared invalid by
the Supreme Court of the District of Co
