WILL DEMAND JURY
FOR EMPLOYEES. Of
GLEN ECHO PARK
Manager of Resort Opposes
Enforcement of Blue
- Laws.

When the four employees of Glen Echo
fark arrested for alleged violation of
'he maryland Sunday blue laws come
up Tor trial before Police Judge Arthur
mace, IN Rockville, Thursday afternoon,
IL d. schloss. manager Of the Glen
Echo Park. will demand, through his
counsel. a Jury trial
Mr. Schloss confidently expects that
the four employees will be acquitted by
jury. but, falling this result, he will
appeal to Governor Goldsborough.
why should there be an ATTEMPT to
enforce these old blue laws against Glen
Echo and not against other amusement
institutions in Maryland?" said Mr.
schioss today. Outside of Baltimore
amusement parks run on Sunday with
out let or hindrance, and II appears to
De rank discrimination against U.S. do
not oelieve that jury will convict the
10ur 1r employees who are to be tried.
Their sense Of fairness will prevent
that, even II these employees are tech
nically guilty.
Although an. appeal to Governor
Soldsborough is promised by Mr.
Schloss If the cases are lost he will not
endeavor to keep Glen Echo Park open
save for the band concerts on Sundays
hereafter, IL, as said above, convictions
are are secured by the Maryland authori-
Sheriff Howard kept his promise to
sWoop down on Glen Echo, and on ar
rlVal there arrested Cissel Husband,
operator Of the carrousel; Leroy Hill,
operator of the miniature railway. and
Two ticket sellers Miss Viola Collins,
and Miss Orrie weaver Smith. Miss
Smith Is daughter of the Glen Echo
town councilman.
Sheriff Howard insisted on these four
persons going to Rockville with him and
before Judge Mace bond was given
for their appearance. A week ago the
arrested employees were allowed to put
up collateral at the park. The Mont
gomery county authorities are dead In
earnest In their effort to enforce the
Sunday laws to the letter and will at
tempt to have the highest fines possible
assessed, If convictions result.
The Washington times., 1912-08-12

a moment to an official OF one of the
steamship lines:
We don't mind a fellow holding his
girls hand just a bit. or he may even
put his arms lightly around her, but
we must now prohibit the rest, espe-
cially the soui-kissings.
Some couples do not seem to care
who Is watching. / have seen as many
feet Of each other, ali of them caress-
Ing to beat the band and needless OF
the presence Of others
Insist On Decorum.
I'VE must maintain certain standards
OF -decorum. and II the free for-all love-
making continues 1t would be a ques-
tion Of time until our patronage would
dwiRdle. and only the spooning couples
would take the trips down the river"
For many. years the two steamers
mentioned have made nightly trips
down the Potomac. There has always
been more or less "spooning" aboard.
Somehow the moon shone dreamily,
the waters soothingly caressed the keel
Of the Cupid-ship. the air was balmy
and of the sort that prompts a young
mans fancy to turn to thoughts Of
love. the decks were a wee bit dark
and inviting. the girl was charming and
her waist just fitted a fellows arm. 1t
was a time for soft nothings and they
were whispered.
And no guard looked on and there was
nobody to care.
One night perhaps. a crusty bachelor
and an unforgiving spinster strollcd
about the hurricane deck. They were
sour on the world and sour on each
other. There were "smacks" to the
left Of them. Occasionally they heard
a subducd sigh OF content as some
swain said, "huddle up a little closer
baby mine"
the NOON continued to smile indulgentiy
and the waters purred INCREASINGLY and
caused many a fellow and his girl to
say things that might have been i'm
possible under less romantic surround
tngs.
Perhaps the bachelor and the spinster
stalked down the steps to the decks
below-where they should have been all
along: And. perhaps, they registered a
panies. That is about the only hypo-
thesis upon which couple In love can
account for the "cruel" ruling OF the
anti-spooning officials.
Patrol With Searchlights.
All that, however, is beside the issue.
The rules are made. and watchmen now
patrol the decks commanding innocent
couples to break away" The reyer-
brant sound of a wholesome kiss sends
the watchman ,scurrying to that part
Of the deck from which 1t emanates.
Stop that" he Is ordered to yell, and
II you don't stop he'll have to throw the
flash light on you.
But we're engaged" maybe a couple
will say.
Hire a launch or a pair of life pre-
servers and tie that spooning outside. I"
the cruel patrolmen will respond. II is
good bet the watchman doesn't want
to be contrary in many instances, but
then the rules of the sea are hard and
the disobedience Of orders is a terrible
thing.
Avaunt. Cupid, your days are done, and
hasten the end of the summer when
the temptation shall have been re-
moved.
For the benefit of couples who used to
spoon, 1t should be said that Captain
Slye. of the st. Johns, has named as
watchma1 for that spoonless ship one
J. Jenkins. Captain Turney. of the
Charles Manchester. has designated one
T. Gray to patrol the dimly-lit decks to
prevent osculation, hugging. and other
manifestations Of undying love.

DEFYING
PITTSBURG POLICE
In Spite of Arrests They Say They
Will Hold Open-Air
Meetings.

PITTSBURGH. Pa, Aug 12-Undis-
mayed at having spent a night in a po-
lice station cell. two Socialists today
continued to assert that they will hold
open-air meetings In the Homewood
district. at places where the police in
sist such meetings shall not be held
The feud between the police and So
cialists has been on for two weeks.
An interesting chapter was added when
forty-eight persons, arrested at the
meetings Saturday night, were arraign-
ed before Magistrate Natal. Several
were fined IS. but the majority were
discharged. The police claim that resi-
dents Of the vicinity Of Kelly street and
Homewood avenue complained because
Of the disturbances incident to the open
air meetings. and asked to have them
stopped.
The Socialists demand the right Of
free speech.

CAFE REPUBLIQUE
PLACED IN HANDS
Of TWO RECEIVERS
Walter A. Johnston and Fred
H. Geyer Named by
Court.

Justice Barnard, In the District Su-
preme Court. today appointed Walter A.
Johnston and Fred II. Geyer receivers
for the Cafe Republique, pending the
adjudication OF involuntary bankruptcy
proceedings instituted by three credit
ors.
The receivers are authorized to con-
duct the cafe until further order OF the
court. so-there will be no suspension
OF business at present. Bond was fixed
at $4,000.
The American Ice Company, George A.
Morgan and whitman Osgood were the
creditors who fled the bankruptcy suit
The ice company has a claim of 81. .3o1. 81
for ice furnished; Mr.. Morgan a claim
Of s232. 75 for butter and eggs, and Mr.
Osgood a claim of s7OO for Advertising
In the petition for receivers It is stated
that the Columbia Cafe Company, which
Is named as the defendant. assented to
the action. II Is also set forth that the
stock and merchandise is easily worth
E.5O0, and the furniture and fixtures
IS, 900. The claim was made that the an
pointment Of receiver was necessary
to prevent a depreciation OF the prop
erty.
Attorney Alexander Woh appeared as
counsel Tor the three creditors, and
urged the prompt appointment of re-
ceivers.
The bankruptcy proceedings followed
two lawsuits In which attachments
before Judgment were issued, and
deputy marshal took charge of 5000
worth OF property pending the outcome
of the action. However, the latest liti-
CATION supersedes the action in the law
suits.
Plaintiffs in the law suits were the
Frazee-Potomac Laundry Company.
with claim of $774.26, and Cha rles
Jacobsen. trading as the Arlington
Bottling Company. with a claim OF
$20i15. They were represented by At
torney Leon Tobriner.
1t is charged by the three creditors in
the bankruptcy action that the Column
bia Cafe Company committed acts Of
bankruptcy August s. last, by paying ].
Robert Somerville $3.50. and the Wash
ington Market Company s45. with intent
to prefer creditors. 1t was also pointed
out that the United States Marshars
office had served attachments, and was
In possession Of part Of the property
of the Cafe Republiaue, which is To-
Gated at the southeast corner of Fiji
teenth and r streets northwest.

Austrian's Generosity
Brings Big Reward

WASHINGTON, Pa, Aug 12-When
Anton kardos, an AustriSn insurance
agent, sent all his savings Of years to an
auth In Austria Hungary, who had reared
him since the death Of his parents in in
fancy, to tide over financial difficulties
four years ago. he acted without hope
OF reward. He received his recompense
today when a letter from a village In
Austria informed him that the aunt
Mrs. Susanna kardos, had recently died
and left him her entire estate, esti-
mated to be worth a quarter Of a mil
lion dollars
Kardos' good fortune comes at a peri

CRUEL CAPTAINS
FORBID SPOONING
River Boats Bar Cozy Corner Cudding Upper Decks
BABY Dolr' Also Under Ban, But Couples
Can Hold Hands,

See, how they kiss and court!'-
Shakespeare.
But Shakespeare lived in the good
old days. The romantic bard was
never passenger by night on a TO
tomac river steamer when an anti
spooning ukase cast its dampening
spell over almost every couple aboard
He was never blinded by the fla sh
light of the fly cop. with stern COM
mand to break away"
He died without dreaming that
some day kissing would be under the
ban on the historic Potomac and that
In this twentieth century Of progress
gallant young men and wistful maid
ems would sigh for lack Of the fam
iliar caress.
1t is a sad story brought today to
the young folks who have been wont
to spend the summer evenings upon an
upepr deQk-where the lights were few
and far between, and where ones
neighbor neither looked to the right nor
the left
Cupid Walks Plank.
Cupid has been forced to walk the
plank; love has been left ashore, and
stern steamship officials have decreed
that there shall be no unseemly spoon
ing on the good ships Charles Macales-
ter and St. Johns!
Where Cupid once promenaded the
decks, husky watchmen now patrol.
They possess electric searchlghts and
gruff voices. Rules is rules, and 1t
makes no difference how loving a
couple may be, nor how much they
must sit apart. almost like strangers,
and content themselves occasionally
with the pressure of hand.
These are the sad and melancholy
nights; now Is the summer OF love
discontent; gone are the opportunities
for one to seek forgetfuiness with no
one save the man In the moon to
mind.
All Things Are Wrong.
Even the moon looks down with pity
upon the decks of a Potomac steamer
these nights. The limpid waters have
become churlish and are subjected to
reprimand for kissing the sides Of the
ship. Things have gone wrong and ma
ture and humanity grow peevish.
Cupid and the scuttling Of his ship.
Couched in gentle language, so as to
soften the effect of the blow, the new
rules now in effect on the steamers st.
Johns and Charles Manchester prohibit:
Kissing-of the ordinary catch-as-can
kind as well as the soul variety, which
lengthens into an endurance test.
Embracing-whether such embrace
consists of a slight squeeze or a grap-
pie of the to-have-and-to-hol sort
Phrases-such as baby doll" "dearie,"
and "honey boy"
In general-spooning of all kinds as
heretofore INDUCED in by trusting maid
ems and attentive young men.
Hand Holding Allowed.
If one would a-boating go on the Po-
tomac and If one would seek the Sc
uuestered spots of the upper deck. 1t is
permitted that the following manifes-
tations of mutual affection may be
staged without offending the patrol or
the public:
Holding hands in a manner as un-
ostentatious as possible.
The resting of an arm on the back Of
the deck chair occupied by the object
of ones affection.
Let the man and maiden who are
lovesick get all the comfort possible
out of the above rules and then listen
