ATE ALL THE ADDRESSES
What Caused a Mixup In Ship
ment of Amber Fluid.

There was all kinds of mixups at
the Tulchester boat landing yesterday
over the disposition of several ship
ments of beer. 1t all had to do with
the depraved appetites of a horse and
couple of mules. Although Mr..
James CrandalI is not in the liquor
business, he was of the opinion that
the beer belonged TO him because he
vas, or thought he was, in possession
of the addresses which made it i'm.
possibferfor him to yield mp the amber
fluid to any one else.
Charles Weiss, Edward Weiss and
Charles Urandall thought they were
entitled to the beer, and it took some
clever figuring to settle the RESPONSE
bility. 1t happened this way: The
three liquor dealers had ordered q
consignment of beer for their respec-
tive places of business and it was
placed aboard the boat III Baltimore.
Two mules and horse consigned TO
Mr.. James Crandall were placed on
the same boat. They were in close
proximity TO the beer and liking the
taste of the paste With which the al
dresses were affixed, deliberately ate
and swallowed them. That was why
when the beer reached Annapolis IL
contained no address.
Some little time was lost in finding
out just what had become OF the ad-
dresses and Mr.. Crandall was OF the
opinion that as his horses could solve
the riddle he should be given the
beer. The owners finally settled the
matter by distributing the beer them
selves.

DIR. TUCK is TO RESIGN.
To Step Out as Chairman OF
Central Committee.

Already are the Republican stall
warts lining up for the fray which is
sure TO develop with the resignation Of
DIR. w. q. Tuck, which is slated to
take place within the next few days.
DIR. Tuck has the choice between
two positions, one whose chief emolu-
ment is honor and prestige and the
other a small matter of 81, 600 per
year. That ne will declare in favor
of the money end of the proposition
there is no doubt.
Under the ruling of the state and
postoftice department any person hold
ing a government position cannot en-
gage actively in politics to the extent
of being a member of any committee.
DR.. Tuck is chairman of the Repub-
ilcan State Central Committee for
Anne Arundel county, which position
is certainly very prominent one in
the Republican politics of the county,
and which comes under the tobacco
class. 1t is learned from reliable
sources that the resignation, if not al
ready sent in, will be forwarded to
the state central committee within
the next few days. 1t is said that al
ready at least half dozen men are in
hopes of landing the plum, which is
considered of great value to one who
would step high in matters political.
The resignation of DIR. Tuck, il is
said, will not take him out of the
running by any manner of means, as
he has certain interests and powers
which could not be lightly assumed by
another. OF course his position as
postmaster will preclude the possibil-
ity of him presiding at primaries or
conventions, but he will retain consid-
erable of that power which has made
him SO muchsfelt in giving out those
plums which fall to the Republican
voter of the county.

Wash Water In Demand

Never was the need of water IN the
houses ON the premises OF Chestnut
street so apparent as yesterday during
the fire. The city passed an ordinance
sometime ago TO have all public by
drants removed from the streets and
To compel owners of property to put
water on their premises. This de
prived some of the people from the
use of u public hydrant on Chestnut
street, and yesterday the laundresses
were forced to get water from the by
drant OH the premises of Mr.. John b.
Flood coal and wood yard, while the
Chestnut street fire-was in progress and
the little supply on that street was III
use. Women who were doing their
Mondays wash congregated with
buckets and tubs at the hydrant on
Compromise street, where water was
plentiful and filled their vessels with
coveted wash water.

THE NEW COUNTY ROAD LAW
DISCUSSED AT THEMEETING
OF TAXPAYERS.
A Letter From c N. Johnson,State
Road Engineer, Read at
The Meeting.

Owing to the lateness at which the
meeting convened the attendance at
the meeting of the Taxpayers Asso.
citation of Anne Arundel couanty this
morning was not as well attended as
il gave promise earlier in the day.
Many of those who came 10 town pur-
posely TO attend the meeting became
restless at the delay and left for their
homes.
of great interest was the reading OF
the proposed roads law for this county,
which IL is desired to enact as social
legislation for the county. The law
covers the field very fully and touches
most thoroughly on the matter of hav-
ing a roads engineer for the county 10
make all surveys, specifications and
proposals for road improvements, both
permanent and urgent. Ii is the sense
of the proposed law that the road en-.
gigneerEfor the county be given every
opportunity for carrying on the work
of making roads aud that he be given
sufficient salary TO warrant him in
giving all of his time to the work
A letter from q. n. Johnson, state
road engineer, was read in which he
stated that he thought the proposed
law a good one, that it would result
in saving the county many dollars and
would ensure good roads 60 the taxpay-
ers. He stated that the position ought
to be given TO man who had attend.
ed an engineering school for at least
four years and had had considerable
practical experience.
The speaker of the day was Mr..
Logan Waller Page. member of the
national highway and road bureau of
the Agricultural Department. He
strongly urged the necessity of better
roads in the state and stated that in
his opinion any suggestions made by
Mr. Johnson We're good ones. Mr..
Page, who is slow but careful
speaker, expressed himself as firmly
of the belief that ii roads engineer
was appointed at a good salary aud
that he was not interfered with he
could do wonderful work for the
good of the county, both as to the re-
suits as shown in the roads themselves
aud the saving to taxpayers.
