ANTtSAlOON LEAGUE
HAS CAUSE FOR JOY.
''Dry" Victory In Garrett, Carroll
And Cecil Considered Sweeping.

Joy reigned at the headquarters OF
the Anti-Saloon League in Baltimore
yesterday over the sweeping victory
at Tuesdays election in Carroll, Gar
rett and Cecil counties, all of which
voted dry by big majorities.
The greatest fight was in Carroll,
large part of which is now wet.
The county went dry by majority
of 1915, the vets carrying only one
district Manchester-and that by
100. There are Al saloons in Car
roll county, principally in the towns
and villages, and as the result of the
vote taken Tuesday. they will all be
closed May l.
Next in interest was the fight in
Garrett county, where there are 10
saloons. Nine of these are at Oak
land and the other one at Accident.
all the other parts of the county hay
ing been dry for some years. The
number of liquor places in Oakland
has been increased recently, owing
to West Virginia going dry. But
while only the two sections of the
county will be affected by Tuesdays
RESULT the voters of the whole county
passed on the question. The result
was a dry majority of 1S70,so sweep
ing that it does not appear likely
that the liquor question will ever
again be brought up in that county.
Cecil county voted on the saloon
question this year for the fourth
time under law which requires the
submission of the question every
four years. The first time, in 1902,
the dry majority was 50, in 1905 it
was 2O4, in 1910 it was S54, and on
Tuesday 1t went up to 1902. The in
creased dry vote proved gratifying to
the anti-saloon people as indicating
that the county is gradually being
weaned away from alcoholic bever-
ages.

LARGE AUDIENCE
 HEARS QUARTET
ZOellners Play at Open Meeting of Music Study Charlottesville
 Work Is Smooth

The Music Study club presented the Zoellner quartet in an artists cencert as an 'open meeting' attraction at Cable hall last night. There was large at tendance.
 The quarter was composed of Antion- ette Zoellner, violin; Amandus Zoellner, violin; Joseph zoellner, Sr. violin, and Joseph Zoellner, Jr., violoncello. The programme, while thoroughly artistic, was of the lighter sort. or at any rate. it was the opposite of severe. It follows: Quartet, Op F (Mendelssohn) Adagio non troppo, Allegro non tardente, Can zonetta, Andante Expressive, Motto AL legro vivace.
 Violin Solos-Romance, Op p (Wieni- awskD Liebesfreud (Kreisler), Amandus Zoellner
 Serenade, Op 92 Cfor two violins and piano. (Sindng), Allegro non troppo, Adagio. Deciso ma non troppo Allegro, Antionette, Amandus and Joseph Zoell- her, jr., piano)
 Genius Loci Crhern), One Movement from Quartet, Op 27 (Greig), Un poco Andante, Allegro Motto ed agitato.
 MT. Zoellner for a violin encore played Beethoven's beautiful minuet, and the quartet for an encore played the pathetic andente from Tschaikowsky' popular Opus Il. The ensemble work of the quar- tet was smooth, but there was often a lack of color. One of the finest numbers of the evening was the violin solo Wieniawski's Romance. Especially inter- esting was the Sinding serenade in three movements for two violins and piano heard here for the first time. It was fresh, full of grace, and often original in treatment and was greatly enjoyed.
