In ARMS AGAINST
MARYLAND OFFICERS
Motor Car Owners IN District Plan
RetaIiatory Measures for
Persecution.

District Automobiles are up in arms
over the latest actions OF Maryland
deputy sheriffs and especially appointed
roadside justices in holding up and fin
ing autoists on the slightest provocation.
Demands are TO be made Of the District
Commissioners that some sort of retalia-
tory measures be adopted that will force
the Maryland authorities to alter their
attitude.
The thing which has added fuel to
the smoldering fire was the action of
the Maryland authorities in holding up
dozens OF District autoists near Chevy
Chase Club and exacting fines because
the rear tags OF their machines were
swinging The deputy sheriff in ques-
ton. after appointing a Washington
youth TO act as special judge, stationed
himself beside the road near the Chevy
Chase Club and halted every passing
automobile. In each case fines were i'm
posed ranging from IS to- SIS.
Henry Father. Harry Wardman, and
more than/a score OF others were held
up in this manner and fined. II is es-
timated that almost 81, 900 was collected.
Concerted action. 1t was stated yester-
day. will be made TO obtain additional
police regulations inside the District that
will make things unpleasant and ex-
pensive for Maryland autoists as they
have made in Maryland for Washing
ton residents.

BEARS UNEXPECTED GIFT.
Market House Animal Given an Addi-
tionaI Lease Of Life.

George, a great big black bear, kept in
one of the fish stalls at Center Market,
got the uniquest Christmas gift in all
Washington yesterday. and he didn't ask
Santa Claus for it, either.
George, who is a very handsome repre-
sentative of his class. has got to be a
great pet around the market, and has
been fed tid-bits and dainties till he
exemplifes the ancient comparison fat
as a bear" OF course, Georges owners
have always had It in mind that he
would be just fat enough at Christmas
well, to spare Georges feelings, it's just
as well not to say what they had in
mind. Suffice 1t to say that a bear steak
can very gracefully supplant a turkey on
a Christmas board.
But yesterday-well. George was Just n
little cutter and Cunninger than ever and
the people that have had 1t in mind to
you know-they Just decided that doing
anything to George other than giving
him an extra bun or two was out of
the question.

Mrs. Charles S. Alden, of Washington,
Receives Unique Christmas Gift
from Husband.

Mrs. Charles S. Alden. of Washington.
has received as a Christmas present from
her husband a pair OF satin slippers, the
heels of which are studded with rhine
stones and diamonds. The slippers are
said to have cost 5000. and thus Mrs.
Alden becomes the rival OF Mrs. Charles
Anthony, Of Muncie, Ind, the author of
the diamond-heeled slippers, whose ap-
pearance in this glittering footwear
caused such a furore at the diplomatic
reception last season.
RI Mrs. Alden will wear the slippers to
the Charity Ball. in which organization
she is prominent member. One notice
able feature of the Alden slippers is that
their owner has exceedingly small feet
and thus the dainty footwear looks as if
It might be used by a child.

Mr.. Hamilton said last night that he
expected TO be able TO announce definite
ly the names of those on his committee
by tomorrow, and until that was done
he would not take any action in regard
to the question of petitioning for the
Pension Office.
General dissatisfaction is expressed that
there is no auditorium in Washington
suitable for large gatherings such as the
inaugural ball. Robert N Harper said
yesterday that Immediately after March
he intended taking the question up be-
lore Congress.
There is now no clear idea OF the
probable order of the inaugural ball. It
has been said that Mrs. Eustis. as wife
of the inaugural chairman, would lead
the ball. This Is not matter of course,
however. and the selection of the leader
of the ball is left to the incoming Presi-
dent. Whether President Wilson will
walk with Mrs. Wilson or Mrs. Eustis
will be determined by him later.
