James TreaCY ana Bride of Oakland
on Sinking Vessel.

In a dense fog which lowered over
New York Friday afternoon the

Company, inward bound from Colon,
was rammed by the steamer Iowan of
the American Hawaiian Company out

of the stricken vessel. The dredge
Atlantic, the liners Greenland, Delphic
and Alamo, and couple of small fish
ing boats also went to the assistance of
the Netapan. When the captain of the
Netapan saw his vessel sinking he
beached her on the north side of Am
brose channel, where the vessel is rest
ing on the bottom, but almost entirely
submerged. The passengers and crew
were all taken off by the small vessels
which went to the liners assistance.
The wreck occurred about 3 D. M,
sharp. Among the passengers on board
the steamer were Mr.. and Mrs. James
?. Treacy on their way home from
Panama. Five minutes after the steam
er was struck the front was almost
under water. The Captain ordered the
boat "beached. The life boats were
lowered, and among the first passen-
gers to get into one of the boats was
Mrs. James P. Treacy. She was fol-
lowed by her husband, who slipped
down the rope on the side of the steam
er and got into the boat. For about an
hour and quarter they were in
the boat before they were rescued
by one of the boats which had re-
spOnded to the call and taken to

Grain Dealers 20 Fight War Tax.

A nationwide fight on war tax of
one cent on every 500 grain transaction
was started at the 18th annual conven-
ton of the grain dealers, a National
Association, when the report of the
Legislative committee was presented and
adopted. A telegram was sent to
President Wilson, which set forth the
attitude OF the grain dealers. 1t was
pointed out that the proposed tax of one
cent would subject the same grain to
repeated taxation and THAT under the
plan there was no limit to the amount
of taxation. The Government might
tax single shipment The tax, it was
asserted, might paralyze the grain
market.

Yesterday afternoon Messrs. A. D..
Navlor G Co. completed the installation
of two clusters of natural gas lamps at
the foot of the steps leading from Third
street up to the front entrance of the
court house and last night the additional
illumination afforded by the lamps was
noticeable to those who had occasion to
pass that way.
Each cluster contains four lamps,
surmounted by fifth one. all doubly
equipped. The Commissioners in provid-
ing these lamps are to be commended
from several viewpoints, chief among
which is the fact that the court house
grounds are made more attractive in
appearance.

Father COnnells Temperance Sermon

To the Editor of The Republican:
On last Sunday morning at high mass
at st. Peters church Rev. Father Con-
mel took for his text the words of st.
Paul to the Ephesans: "Be We not
drunk with wine, wherein is luxury, :"
&c, and preached the strongest, most
practical and most convincing sermon
on temperance to which we have ever
had the pleasure of listening. He pic
tured in clear and chaste English the
sinfulness of drunkenness and the sure
fate of drunkards and wildly portrayed
the effect of drink upon the drunkard
himself, spiritually, as we'll as upon his
family his friends and the community
in general.
Father Connell spoke with special
stress upon the spiritual phase of the
question and upheld his contention in
favor OF total abstinence by strong
scriptural proof and religious argument.
He urged upon his hearers the need of
personal restraint and self denial and
thrilled them greatly by the power of
his glowing eloquence. He held his
audience spell bound and was intently
listened to by very large and appre-
ciative congregation who hung upon
his every word and evidently felt deep
" the force of the truth which he so
beautifully eXpounded.

This reads as follows:


Sec. 81. And be it enacted. That
any person who shall sell directly or IN
directly at any place in Garrett county,
or give away directly or indirectly at
any place of business in said county,
any spirituous, fermented or malt
liquors, without first having obtained a
license as required by this act upon in
dictment and conviction thereof for the
first offense forfeit and pay fine of
not less than one hundred dollars or
more than five hundred dollars and cost
of prosecution, and failing to pay such
fine shall be sentenced to be confined in
the Maryland House of Correction, etc. {"
Hard cider is purely and simply a
fremented liquor and whether or not it
is directly mentioned in the last section
quoted has nothing to do with the case.
Being fremented liquor, its sale at
any place in Garrett county will be pro-
hibited, should the county go wet, I'M
less the person wishing to sell the same
shall first have taken out the regular
lluuor license and as under Sections ID
and 10 no one can take out license ex-
cept IN an incorporated town and under
very stringent conditions even then, it
would be impossible for any farmer in
the country to sell hard cider. The
same thing governs with regard to the
giving away directly or indirectly of spir-
ltuous, fermented or alcoholic liquors,
of which hard cider is clearly one kind.
1t cannot be given away directly or in
directly at any place of business in Gar
rettCounty. Now the place of business of
the farm er is his home or his farm and
should the county go wet he cannot
give hard cider or anything of it's kind
away without first having secured a
license and this under the terms of the
law is impossible
There is nothing new in these provis-
ions of the law. The old law under
which Garrett Countians have been
living for these sevaral years specifi-
ically states that ''it shall not be law
full for any person or persons, house,
corporation, Company or association, to
sell spirituous or fremented liquors or
alcoholic bitters, directly or indirectly
at any place within the limits of said
county" For anyone except legally
licensed person to dispose of hard cider
or any other kind of fermented liquors
to be used as beverage has been abso-
lutely against the present existing law.
Nothing new has been added here by
the new law and it merely specifies a
number of the fermented or alcoholic
drinks while the old law was content
with CHASING them all together.
Taking the three provisions together
what do we find? In none of them is
there anything said about making cider
or keeping it on the premises for the
usual purpose. 1t has always been I'M
lawful to sell it as a beverage except in
a legally licensed saloon whether the
sale may be made directly or indirectly.
If the county goes wet this fall the

CIDER AND LOCAL OPTION.
Will the Adoption of Local Option de-
prive the Farmer of His Cider?

The opponents of local option have
been making use IN certain sections of
the county of story that in case local
option is adopted this fall it will here
after be against the law for any one to
keep cider on his premises. They have
been telling a wonderful story about
how the vinegar business in the county
will decline and how farmers will be
prosecuted for keeping upon their prem
Uses soft or hard cider for the custo-
mary and usual purposes. That such a
report is the rankest kind of fabrl-
cation is easily seen when once the new
law is read and studied and COMPARE
son made with the terms of the law,
under which Garrett county has been
living for these several years. A study
of this shows that the friends of the
liquor business have not been slow in
trying to make dupes of the farmers of
the county and that they have tried to
put over plain case of deception and
fraud. With them it has been any
thing and everything to keep the tenn
perance cause from being successful
Let US see how the matter really stands
and what the law says.
Section of the Local Option bill pro-
vides as follows:
"And be it enacted, That no person,
house, company, manufacturer, associ-
alton or body corporate, shall deposit,
keep or have in his or It's possession,
any spirituous or fermented liquors, or
alcoholic bitters, or intoxicating drinks
of any kind, or hard cider, tonic beer,
lager beer, schnapps, or gin, or any
article used or sold as beverage, in
the composition or compromising of
which whiskey, brandy. high wines or
alcohol or any spirituous or fermented
liquors shall be an ingredient, with in
tent to barter or sell or give away the
same in violation of the provisions of
the preceding sections (which refer to
the adoption of the measure) or with
intent that the same shall be battered
or sold or given away in violation there
of within the limits OF said county,"
A study of this provision of the law
shows clearly that there is no prohibit
ton against keeping cider on the prem
ises for the customary uses. The
only prohibition laid down is that no one
shall keep hard cider for the purpose of
selling, bartering or giving it away and
it is merely classed the same as any
other termented or intoxicating drink.
To contend that from this there is
room for statement such as has been
made around over the county is to in
suit the intelligence of the people of the
county. The clause given above is the
one that will control in case local option
is voted upon favorably and is adopted.
In case the county should go wet an
other provision will control that is
equally stringent if not more stringent.
