WOULD
THEFTS ON RAIL
INFEDERALCOURT

Much interest is being felt locally
in the bill that is pending in the ma
tional congress, and which seems to
have excellent prospects Of final
enactment, TO take all charge of steal
ing freight express or baggage from
trains in transit from the state to the
federal courts. The measure has al
ready passed the national House Of
Representatives and is pending in the
Senate. with a favorable report from
the Senate judiciary committee.
Under the present system. all prose-
cutions Of thefts of freight or other
articles from trains in transit must
be made in the state courts. as are
ordinary charges of larceny. 1t is
often very difficult to prove just ex-
actly where along the line of rail-
road. the seals of a given freight
train we're broken II the county
cannot be definitely located in which
the offense was committed, and legal
proof submitted to a jury. it neces-
sary follows that the man charged
with the offense must be acquitted.
With the prosecution taking place
in the federal court, it is figured that
it will be much easier to locate the
breaking of the seals and the enter
ing of the particular freight car in
question within the confines Of a CIV
en- state. or federal judicial district
and acquittals upon the purely tech
nical grounds will be much more in
frequent
The penalties provided in the pro-
posed federal law are both fines and
imprisonment. running as high as
fines Of $1,000 or prison terms as long
as ten years

R. & O's LATEST ORDER.
Employees Forbidden to Sign Liquor
IiCnnsn Petitions.

FmpIoyes Forbidden TO Sign Liquor
License Petitions.
BALTIMORE. Md. Feb. 19.-An-
was made yesterday by
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company that hereafter employees Will
be forbidden to sign applications for
liouor licenses. Following. as this
does. the order issued some time ago
that no employe of the company
would be permitted TO go into sa-
loon under penalty of dismissal from
the service. the attitude of the cor
poration has caused considerable
comment
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the company some time ago
nv Mount Airy Lodge Of Good Tenn
plars in Frederick county. Within
few days an official OF the Baltimore
and Ohio arrived at Mount Airy for
the purpose of making an investiga-
ton and he also conferred with the
members OF the order.
This official stated that within 10
days an order would be promulgated
by the Baltimore and Ohio prohibit
ing the employees Of the road from
singing liquor license applications.
He said that the Baltimore and ohio
Railroad was opposed TO the liquor
business in any shape or form, and
that some years ago 1t had sent out
an order that employees Of the road
freauenting saloons IL caught would
be discharged This order he said,
was being enforced. The next order
to be passed, he said. would prohibit
the signing of applications for IL
censes. The order reads that the fact
that the name of any railroad man to
liquor license application will be
taken as prima facie evidence that
he frequents saloons and that he will
be dismissed.

II was very nice one, but she, being
able to afford better, asked to see
others.
John, ready as ever fetched an
other out OF the same box, and,
spreading this out on the counter.
stated the price to be Ave dollars.
Still she was not satisfied, So fetch
ing another one, also out of the same
box, he asked her how she would like
that at ten dollars.
