he heard her stumbling up the stairs,

Lid Put On, Clamped,

Tod, 7 in Baltimore

BALTIMORE, Md, July 3O.-Down
along the water front and at the many
river resorts where on Sunday the
Maryland blue laws are fractured and
smashed, there is noticeably today a
decided improvement in conditions, due
to a tremendous drive being made
against open infringements by law and
order societies.
Strangers might say, after seeing the
open selling of liquor at these resorts,
and hearing the music and open-air
vaudeville, and watching the many
amusements in full blast, that the lid
was off for keeps" but, as a matter Of
fact, the lid Is down pretty tight.
Gambling has been almost entirely
stopped, yet only three weeks ago, just
before the Baltimore News began a
vigorous crusade against these resorts,
every known gambling device was IN
evidence, and thousands of dollars were
openly wagered and openly lost-for no
bettor ever won. The games were
crooked from start to 1lnish, and were
under the direct protection of crooked
politicians. AS the first step In the cru
sade the gambling and slot machines
were singled out, and the word went
down the line last night to "cut them
out" AS a result there is TO gambling

GUARD MARKSMEN
CONGRATULATED ON
SUCCESS OF SHOOT
Congress Heights Rifle
Range to Remain Open
Ten Days.

After the three days annual shooting
matches held at Congress Heights, ID.
C., under the auspices of the District
National Guard last week, participants
are receiving congratulations on the ex-
cellent scores
Weather conditions were almost per-
feet. and Improvement over last years
scores Is due to this fact in some
measure. So great nave been the num-
Der Of recent enlistments it has been
decided at headquarters to keep the
range open until August 9, to give the
recruits chance TO learn the use of
their weapons before the annual en-
campment.
The Mosher match, which is usually
the feature of the shoot. was won this
year by the Marine Corps Although
1t was marked by excellent shooting,
there were two entries less this year.
The prize was a silver cup and a medal
for each member Of the winning team.
The second prize of $40 was won by the
National Guard, which scored within
seventeen points OF the Marines. The
Engineers Corps came third.
In the Evening STAR match, the last
free for all held, the first prize, a gold
medal, was won by Sergeant A. G.
Schmidt, Company K, First Infantry,
Win d SSOEc VI 5f-
The shoot was marked by earnest and
conscientious work. and was Of great
benefit to both participants and spec
tators. Targets used in several Of the
matches are made to represent life-sized
men in various shooting positions, and
points are counted according to the
number of vital hits made. A by
-stander, after having spent some time
at the range while the shooting was In
progress, might wonder how great
chance an opposing force would have
facing these shots. for some Of the con-
testants scored ten vital hits out OF ten
shots, making the highest possible
scora.
Major King, executive officer, and
Lieutenant Colonel Reichelderfer, chief
range officer, are pleased with the re-
suits, and believe the shooting would
not have been better had there been
more entrants. Wednesday, the second
day of the shoot, was the regular VS.
itors' day, and several prominent men,
bers of the War Department were en-
tertained at luncheon given by Major
King
Great pleasure is felt by the officers
of the militia over the unusually large
number of recruits and II has been de-
cided to render eligible to the encamp-
ment, which commences August 13, all
recruits enlisted up till the first Of the
coming month. Heretofore those en-
listing less than q month before were
barred fro mthe encampmenI Of that
year unless enrolled by special permit.
1t is expected this move will swell the
ranks materially.

and tonight. Until they had reached
Washington and given the maps a
study, they were unable to tell in
which direction they would start, but
early this morning stated that they
intended to place under arrest the
proprietors of a number of taverns
just over the District line in Mary
land. which have been complained of
by citizens.
The officers say that it has been
the practice to sell hquor all day
Sunday in these places. the owners
paying no attention to the laws. They
assert that liquors a/e sold all night
long in many of these houses. The
officers propose to hit such taverns
and road houses with the broadside
of the Sunday closing law. and carry
the crusade on from Sunday to Sun
day without let up or until a popular
appeal has the effect of wiping out
the enforcement of the blue laws by
the removal from the statute books.
Reports from College Park, Hyatts-
vile, and Laurel are to the effect that
none of those cities has clapped on
the lid by reason of the Sunday clos
ing crusade. Ice cream parlors and
cold drink stands, together with cigar
and drug stores, are being operated
the same as in past Sundays.
They know nothing of the reported
plans OF the authorities to swoop
down upon them and arrest them for
violations of the Sunday closing laws.
