MARYLAND BILL
BEING WORKED OUT

CHESTERTOwN, Nd. Feb. 1s.-
Another temperance meeting was
held here yesterday, about 100 per-
sons being present. The object was
to rescind the action taken on the
prohibition bill last week.
The Rev. Cyrus p. Keen, of the
Anti-Saloon League, was present, and
brought with him a new shipping bill,
which has been termed "the Limited
Shipping bill"
A committee on resolutions, con-
sisting of II. E. Perkins, ]. c.. Loud,
]. r. beaverton, Tilghman Shafer,
and the Rev. T. N. Given, presented
the Limited Shipping bill. This pro-
voked considerable discussion. The
Rev. Louis e. Barrett, pastor of the
Chestertown NJ. E. Church. and Col.
William j. Vannort took a stand for
prohibition and against what they
termed the surrender to the liquor
element.
Thomas S. Bordley, William C.
Smyth and the Rev. A. H. Covey took
the ground that half loaf was bet
ter than no loaf. and the committees
report was carried by a divided vote.
Petitions indorsing the new bill
will be circulated. The proposed bill
allows a gallon of liquor or four
dozen bottles Of beer to be shipped
to an individual on the second We'd
nesday in each month, and requires
steamboat and express companies to
keep records of all shipments, said
records TO be returned to the sheriff.
It is understood that this is a com
promise bill which will be presented
for the entire Eeastern Shore. An
effort will be made to have the tenn
perance supporters present a united
front at Annapolis.
One objection urged to the bill was
that by receiving a monthly supply OF
liquor on Wednesday some men
would be incapitated for work for
the remainder of the week, while now
they get a limited quantity on Satur-
day and have recovered by Monday
