DENY ALLEGED "WET" BILL.
Democrats Say No Attempt is to be
Made 10 Remove DRY" Law
From Third District.

Anne Arundel county Democrats
allied with the faction that won in
the recent primaries are decryine
any discussion of the proposal ia
make wet" the territory around
Stony and Rock ere ks.
Some of the leaders are saying
that there is no scheme to get bill
through the Legislature repeating the
prohibition law, so far as il affects
tat section. Nevertheless, the scheme
is being talked of ir the country,
saws the Baltimore News, and leaders
of the progressives, who were de-
feated in the primaries, declare that
all the "wets, including the many
spsakeasy keepers, sided with the
victorious faction, known as the
Wells-Revell forces.
1t is asserted that it was the hope
of getting such legislation through
that lined up these people solidly
with the Wells-Revell faction. But,
il such program is plainly an
nouneed in Anne Arundel, it will
have the effect of driving many vo-
tiers away from the Democratic ticket
in the general election, as the people
in the dry sections are, as rule, in
favor of the continuance of the dry
law.
Last year there was a general
raiding of speakeasies on Rock and
Stony creeks, and since that time
business has been dull.

CHILD KILLED BY ACCIDENTAL
DISCHARGE OF A REVOLVER.

AS the result of an accidental dis
charge of a revolver in the hands of
Joe Claxton, colored, Nellie Davis,
aged about three years, was instant
ly killed Saturday night about $3.50
o'clock.
The child was the daughter of Ida
Davis, who lives on Cypress street.
The mother and two children were at
the home of Malinda Songo, On Pleas
ant street between Eleventh and
Twelfth Claxton had taken the bull
lets from a revolver and was handl-
ing the weapon when it was discharg-
ed the bullet entering the right shoul-
der of the child who was standing
against his knee, passing through the
heart and lungs and through the body.
Death resulted instantly.
Claxton, who is a highly respected
negro, is an employe of the firm of
January & Connell, and is regarded as
an honest and hard-working negro.
He is frantic with grief over the acci-
dent, as he was devoted to the child.
Coroner Rudolph Davis was nOtifi-
ed and together with Patrolman JAS.
Moreland he went to the home of the
Songo woman where they conducted

ments of the inmates of the, house it
