This bill is along the line of the bill
which has been formulated for Freder-
ick City. Senator Moore says that "A
town should be governed according to
the principles applied to the government
of other corporations where no one is
permitted to vote who has not pecuni-
AIRY interest. The government of town,
says Mr.. Moore, involves no political
questions. Ii is simply a business prop
osition and should be determined upon
business principles. The idea that pub.
lie improvements should be prevented
or dictated i'll towns by on-taxpaying
negroes who have no kind of interest in
them is regarded as hurtful, and this
bill is intended to prevent this.

1t is understood that the proposed road
is to run from Baltimore down the West
ern Shore and touch the Chesapeake Bay
at some point south of Annapolis where
ferry will connect with the Eastern
Shore. The road will then run to the
Virginia line. and by Virginia charter
make connection with Norfolk
Senator Moore says such a road will
give much quicker time from the East
ern Shore to Baltimore. and will shorten
the time between the Maryland metrop.
oils and Norfolk by four hours.

ALL CANNED GOODS
ON THE ADVANCE
Large Quantity Destroyed by
the Baltimore Fire Cause
of High Prices.

As "A result of the hig fire. there has
been decided advance in the price of
canned goods. not only in Baltimore.
bnt all over the country. Baltimore is
the largest canned goods center III the
world and that market makes the price
for the country.
Many thousands of cases of canned
goods were lost. which loss. coming at
this season, Is keenly felt There have
been numerous estimates of the amount
of canned goods lost i'll the fire. hut Mr.
Thomas J. Meehan, of the canned goods
brokerage firm of Thomas J. Meehan &
Co., says that conservative estimate of
the loss is in the neighbOrhood of 2O0,-
900 cases. OF this Dumber it is estima-
ted that $50. 900 cases of tomatoes were
lost. and this line has advanced more
sharply than any other. Just before
the fire standard three-pound- can toma-
toes were quoted wholesale AT 10 to ~
cents dozen. while the present price is
20 cents dozen.
The loss of 200 cases of other lines
of canned goods has also been felt and
has resulted in an advance of } to 10
per cent. on all lines.
Speaking of the situation Mr.. Nee
han said:
There has been an excellent demand
for all lines of canned goods owing part
ly to the high prices of fresh vegetables
The price of corn is now higher than it
has been for years This line of canned
goods Is now selling at from 81 90 10
81. - dozen, as to grade. Corn has
been relatively high all season. however.
owing to shortage i'll the pack this
year. Peas are now quoted at SO cents
"A dozen for standard early June. The
price of peas has not been affected "a
much as tomatoes or corn, owing To the
approach of the season for the new crop.
There have also been advances in the
prices of other canned vegetables and
fruits. Even at the high price of can
ned goods. they are still lower than
their substitutes in fresh vegetables.
For some lines, of course. such a. corn
and peas, there are no substitutes at this
season"

BOSS RAS|N SHORN OF
HIS POLITICAL POWER
Ignored by Governor of Mary
land in All Appointments.
Potent Factors.

Freeman Rasin. boss of the Baltl
thirty years. has been shorn of most of
his power through the appointments of
Governor Warfield. There does not
seem to be any doubt that Senator Cor
man and Ex-Governor Smith favored
and advised Governor Warfeld's plans
of distributing the ''plums of patronage"
in so far as Baltimore city is concerned
In depriving the Rasin management
of control of the Police Department and
the Liquor License Board the Governor
spikes the guns of the organization in
Baltimore city, for without these val.
liable adjuncts the political machine is
seriously handicapped. The Police De.
partment is alwaysa a potent factor when
an election draws near, while the saloon
element. influenced by the Liquor Ii
cense Board, can always be depended
upon to render material assistance. Add
to these the police justices. who can.
when so disposed, use an influence
second only to Rasin himself, and the
loss TO the Rasin clique is fatal.
Barring the few crumbs that fell from
the table of the Court clerks, Rasin's
people have received nothing from
either the municipal or State admin
strations. The Mayor did give out
little. but the Governor declined to show
any favor. Rasin, when he refers to
his treatment. uses language other than
complimentary. To friends he says he
is not personally interested, brit fears
the effect at the next election.
The plan of the Democratic leaders is
to reorganize the party in Baltimore and
select new and younger heads. The
friends of Ex-Governor Smith in the
Legislature are still so resentful that
they say they are for anything Rasin
does not want. They intend to uphold
Governor Warfield in everything he
does. They regard the turning down
of Rasin as fitting retribution for the
part he played in the Senatorial fight
Politics is playing great part in the
proposed oyster legislation. Bitter op-
position has developed to the Haman
bill for the protection and improvement
of the oyster interests. The oystermen
on the Eastern Shore would swap off al
most anything to beat the planting bill.
1t was due TO such tactics that it was
beaten before. and the same methods
will be tried again. The Republicans
are prepared for any dicker to prevent
the enactment of political legislation,
while certain counties pot particularly
interested in oyster culture would will
ingly trade their votes to secure the
adoption or defeat of bills affecting their
constituents. 1t is because of this fear
that the oyster bill is being held back
until party legislation has been enacted
