AFTER GLEN ECHO PARK
Phonograph Still Cussing Out Busy
County Officials.
AND THEY MAY SHOOT IT UP
Lively Times Expected Next Sun
day-Even Peanuts and Soda
Are Under the Ban.

The lid will be on tighter than ever at
Glen Echo Park next Sunday. Such is the
edict promulgated by Sheriff Mullican of
Montgomery county. Md. who has de-
clared that hereafter not. cigar, a glass
Of soda or a peanut shall be sold at the
park on the Sabbath.
'Tis thought by the wise that the
sheriffs forbidding attitude assumed is a
direct result of the activities of the
phonograph at the park. which, after
chastising. with automatic verbiage, Dep
uty Sheriffs Embrey and Counselman and
having the offending record pulled out of
its insides. has now started in on Null
ligan himself.
For the past several weeks Sheriff Null
ligan has been disposed to be reasonably
lenicnt i'll the enforcement of the blue
laws of the state At the park. but when
he heard of the Mulican record he de-
cided to slap on the lid and screw it
down.
Hereafter on Sunday he will sit in the
dancing pavilion or some other place over
looking the grounds and the first man
who breaks the old blue laws of Mary
land will be hustled to the county jail at
Rockville.
When the Trouble Started.
The bad feeling between the sheriff
and the Glen Echo authorities got a
good start several weeks ago when Multi
can announced that he was going to clamp
down the lid. Deputies Embrey and
Couuselman went out to the park and
after noting alleged violations of the law
started for Rockville with several EN-
ployeS of the park as prisoners.
There was some disorder when the ar
rests We're made. but later the prisoners
remained quiet until they reached the
District line. Then as the car passed
over the line one of the prisoners said
TO Deputy Embrey. You are out of your
jurisdiction. You may as well beat 1t
back to Rockville, for We are prisoners no
longer"
But ESmbrey and Counselman held on,
and after conference at the seventh
precinct station in this city with Capt.
Schneider they returned to the District
line and later managed to get their pris-
oners to Rockville. where they were re-
leased on collateral to appear later for
trial
+ Since then the bad feeling has grown
Sunday two weeks ago TO see that the
blue laws We're enforced the phonoSraph
was busily broiling his. deputies. Multi
can secured the record and it is to be
used. tits said in a suit for damages to
be instituted later by the deputies At
torney Edward Peter of Rockville having
been retained to look after their interests
Process Of Getting Even"
Then. according to reports. the Glen
Echo people determined to get even with
Mullican. and last evening the offending
phonograph paid it's respects to that off,
cial. A crowd of visitors listened to the
instrument and chortled gleefully
When Mullican heard of this he boiled
over. IF as much as a cigar, glass of
soda a peanut is sold at Glen Echo
Park Sunday" he said. 1.-The fellow who
sells it will have to pay the penalty"
This probably means that Mullican will
be on the grounds early Sunday morning
with a force of deputies. and things may
be lively for while. In the meantime
1t is expected that the sheriff will visit
