Anti-Saloon League to Investigate
Alleged Illegal Liquor Selling.

Special Correspondence OF The Star
ROCKVILLE. Md. January 1s. 1903.
Members of the Montgomery County
Anti-Saloon League are understood to be
considerably exercised over a report that
for some time past certain merchants of
the county have been offering whisky as
premiums to their customers as means
of increasing trade and that an agent Of
a Washington whisky house has been
making regular visits to the county solic-
iting orders for liquors one trip and de-
livering the goods the next. These al
legged practices We're brought to the at
tention of the league at it's recent quar-
terly meeting at this place, and Mr. Frank
Higgins. attorney for the league. was d.
rected to proceed at once to collect evil
dence and have arrests made so as to
test in the courts whether or not such
transactions are violations of the local
option law of the county.
According to the law enforcement COM
mittee Of the league there are not more
than half dozen "speakeasies" in opera
ton in the county. The league has en-
deavored to have the county commission
ers place funds at the disposal of the
leagues attorney to be used by him in
employing detectives to gather evidence
against the proprietcrs of these stablish-
ments but it is understood the commits
siofers are averSe to doing this but are
willing to make an appropriation for the
use of the states attorney in such cases
if that official so desires
The farmers of Montgomery county ap-
pear to be more interested in the efforts
of Delegate George T. Waters to secure
the enactment of a dog law than in any
other legislation that has been proposed
for the county. Delegate Waters made
his fight in the democratic primaries last
summer on platform in which he came
n,1f Cfrn
when. the votes were counted it was found
he had won out with a good many votes
to spare. His success, it is conceded, was
due to his advocacy of a dog law.
Mr.. Waters has already taken steps to
fulfill his promise. Wednesday he intro
duced in the house of delegates a bill en-
titled "A bill for the preservation of
sheep in providing for taxing dogs and
furnishing revenue for macada MIXING pub
lie roads in Montgomery county, The
measure provides for an annual tax of
81 on each male dog and 50 for each fe-
male two months old or above Out of
this fund owners of sheep killed by dogs
are to be paid damages. and If there is
an unexpended balance 1t is to be used
for road improvements.
The farmers of the county annually suf-
fer losses in sheep of the value of many
dollars because of the depredations Of
dogs. and they are understood to be heart
and soul with Mr.. Waters in his efforts
to rid the county of many of the worth
less ours that are allowed to run at large
bition of the session to see his bill en-
acted into law. and that his hopes will be
realized there is understood to be no
doubt.
Mr. Waters is eighty-two years of age.
and is said to be the oldest member of
the present legislature.
