NOT "DRY"
ON EASTERN SHORE
But They And Druggists Only Ones
Who May Buy Liquor.

Baltimore, Nd, May 15.-During a
hearing yesterday before the Public
Service Commission, it developed that,
unless he be a druggist, the only way
a resident of the dry" Eastern Shore
can obtain liquor is to become a
church officer.
The hearing was held on the protest
against the increased rate on lquo,
put into effect by the Colchester
Steamboat Company. Capt. Eliason,
President of the company, admitted
that he was doing everything he
could to discourage the shipment Of
liquor by his line.
Under the new law, liquor can be
shipped only to druggists, for medici-
nal purposes, and to churches, for sac
ramental purposes.
In his argument, Attorney Chapman
for the Colchester Company said:
IF a gallon of liquor or six dozen
bottles of beer were shipped to a
church and a man called for it and
said he was deacon of the church, how
was the agent at the wharf to know
whether the caller was telling the
TRUTH"

FRANK TRIAL TO BE
HELD WEDNESDAY
Try To Set Aside Verdict Because De-
fendant Was Not in Court.

Atlanta, Ca, May 15.-The motion
to set aside the verdict of guilty
against Leo M. Frank on the ground
that he was not in the court room
when it was rendered, has been post
poned from Saturday morning to next
Wednesday afternoon at o'clock.
Attorneys for Frank, because of in
terruptions during Shrine week, asked
the solicitor general and Judge Hill
Wednesday morning if they would
agree to a continuance. Both agreed.
The contempt proceedings against
William j. Burns and his chief aide in
the Frank investigation, Dan S. Lehon,
are still set for hearing Friday
morning, but it is likely this case will
also be postponed.
Burns is still in New York at the
bedside of his wife, who is seriously
i'll, and he will not return for the hear
ing, according to Mr.. Lehon, unless
the court insists on his appearance in
person.
The contempt proceedings were ini-
tiated by Judge Hill, and Solicitor
General Dorsey is not expected to take
an active part In the hearing unless
directed to do so by the court.

BUY A BATHING SUIT
OR PAY MAYORS FINE
No More Nude Plungers Tolerated,
Say Commissioners.

Those who desire to enjoy the re-
freshing experience of a plunge in
Bouie river Gordon's creek or New

cover of night or invest some of their
coin in a bathing suit. Failure to do
this may subject them to fines by
Mayor Batson, ranging in amounts
from 81 to $25.
An ordinance forbidding nude bath
ing in the day time in any open waters

Oklahoma City. OKLA, May Is
Minor changes in the ritual of the
church were agreed to, committee re-
ports were read and consideration Of
a proposal to refuse young men addict
ed to the use of tobacco admission to
the ministry was begun by the general
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, in session here. Rev.
Charles S. MacFarland, secretary Of
the Federal Council of the Churches
of Christ in America, made report to
the conference of what had been ac-
complished by the council during the
last four years and fraternal delegates
delivered messages from the Canadian
Methodist Church.
Action will probably be taken this
afternoon on the memorial requiring
the applicants for orders to agree to
refrain entirely from the use Of tobac-
CO. 1t is also expected that the COM
mittee considering the Vanderbilt Uni
versity situation will report this after
noon.
The tobacco habit memorial seeks
to amend the rule regarding the use
of tobacco by preachers. The rule
now requires the bishop in admitting
young men to orders to admonish
them against the use Of tobacco, but
the new proposal is to refuse them
admission unless they promise to re-
frain entirely from the use Of the
weed. This question will come up at
today's session as the pending order Of
business. ''
Calls Attention to Mexico.
A telegram was read to the confer.
ence by Bishop Wilson calling atten-
ton to the delicate situation between
the United States and Mexico. The
message stated that the peace com.
mission which will meet next Monday
at Niagara Falls, Canada, to begin
their negotiations looking to settle
ment OF the Mexican crisis requested
the bishops to call upon all Christian
people to unite in prayer that war be-
tween the two countries may be
ayerted.

Laurel, Miss. May ia delegation
OF leading citizens of Jones county,
residing near the Walters vat, across
Leaf river, which was dynamited this
week, came to Laurel and placed in
the hands Of the officers of the law
information sufficient for the convic-
tion OF the man who dynamited this
vat. ''t -.
1t is said the man who dynamited
the vat dees not own a single cow
himself, bit has charge of one animal
which belongs to a relative who lived
with him. This man dipped this COW
one time. and failing the second time,
his place was quarantined by the Of
ficers. The next night the vat was
blown up about II o'clock! It is
claimed he went alone to the vat and
threw the dynamite in It. -
An overwhelming majority of the
people who own cattle favor dipping,
the delegation says, and are enthusi.
astic over the improvement in their
cattle which has resulted. The prin.
cipal opposition to dipping is now by
men who protest that the authorities
are to blame for failure to impose
penalties upon the few men who have
been defying the law, some of whom
were permitted to run infested cattle
on the ranges, without being made to
pay the penalty of the broken law.
Authorities Too Lenient.
They say that the authorities have
been too lenient In dealing with men
who have been defying the law.
From Soso also came a message that
evidence for the conviction of a dyna.
inter had been secured, and that steps
were being taken for the prosecution
Of this man.
The country peonle are becoming
aroused over the open Haunting Of the
law and many of them have taken the
matter Of catching the men who have

hands.
The strength of the dipping law is

ing. The people are showing that they
favor it by an overwhelming majority
and it is now being made plain that
the opposition is from men who own
few cattle.
That the dynamiters-at least some
OF them-will be sent to the penitenti
ary to pay the penalty for their deeds,
very few doubt
