Enumeration for the work.
Mr.. Karricl: will remove the big
chimney on the lot by telling it toward

SERIOUS TROUBLE FEARED
Rumors in Circulation Have Lead Those
Identified With Reform Movement to
Arm emselves-Committee Salts
fed With Courts Position.

1t is feared that trouble is brewing as
result of the campaign inaugurated
against the alleged vicious resorts in
the vicinity of Chesapeake Junction.
Threats have been openly made against
those most active in the fight on the
resorts. Many have armed them
selves and are prepared for whatever
trouble may overtake them.
On the one hand the proprietors of
some of the resorts, their friends and
active partisans have undertaken to in
timidate those who are responsible for
the effort to break up business that
las proven most lucrative. These threats
do not appear to have had the desired
effect, aud it now remains for the agi-
tators to put them into execution.
Some to Close Up.
A number of the resort proprietors
recently convicted of violations of the
Sunday liquor law and gambling laws
have signifed their intention of aban-
doning these features, but others have
declared their intention of fighting it
cut.
county delegation that called on Judge
Merrick at Upper Marlboro Tuesday in
reference to bettering conditions at
Chesapeake Junction said yesterday
that the attitude of the Judge was en-
tirely satisfactory to the committee, and
that the visit was by no means in vain
His attitude toward alleged law break
ing at that place was all that could be
desired by the most ardent reformer,
l.. r1E@ II
his hearers as to his sympathy with
their efforts.
He promised to give careful attention
to the question OF revoking licenses of
convicted resort-keepers at the Junction
under the recently enacted statute, and
TO lend his influence, as far as prac-
ticable, toward the appointment of
special officers at that place, although
the selection is in the hands of the
sheriff, who has that prerogative.
Mr.. Rollins in Favor.
1t is understood that the Judge is
favorably inclined toward the appoint
ment of Mr.. William T. S. Rollins, a
citizen of Kent county, and who is en-
ployed in the Postoffice Department It
IS stated that this selection would give
general satisfaction to the law and Or
Ger element.
The acceptance of the position would
involve a serious sacrifice of time and
labor on the part of Mr.. Rollins. for
which he would get no adequate return
except the satisfaction of establishing
good order at Chesapeake Junction, and
abating nuisance which is considered
reproach TO the whole State.
The question of his legal right TO
servc in such capacity while holding
Federal position is now being considered,
and if the decision is favorable it is be-
lseved that the troubles at Chesapeake
Junction will soon be over.
