FOUR AMENDMENTS UP.
Voters To Pass On Rule Plan In
November.

Voters To Pass On Rule Plan In
November.
Four important proposals to amend
the State Constitution, submitted by
the last Legislature, will be voted on
at the general election in November.
Ihey provide authority for home rule
for the city and counties; the refer
endum; authority to classify property
for taxation purposes, and authority
to provide suspension of sentence, In
determinate sentence or parole in
criminal cases.
The Home Rule amendment does
not institute home rule, either for the
city or the counties. 1t only gives the
people and the Legislature authority
to institute it. If the amendment is
adopted the Mayor and City Council
of Baltimore city or not less than
may petition the Supervisors of Elec-
tions to hold an election for charter
board. In any of the counties not less
than 20 per cent. of the registered
voters of the county, but not more
than 10000 in any case, may petition
the local Supervisors of Elections for
that purpose. In Baltimore city the
charter board shall be composed o;
IL men and in a county of FIVE men.
Nominations for membership in a
board shall be made by petition to the
Supervisors from not less than per
cent of the registered voters of the
city or county.

STATE
TOO MUCH TOBACCO HEEE.
Inspector wilkinson Considers =
Shipment Embargo.

Inspector wilkinson Considers A
Shipment Embargo.
The food of shipments of Maryland
tobacco to the State tobacco ware
houses in Baltimore has been so great
that Inspector Wilkinson has seriously
considered the placing of an embargo
on shipments for the present. After
talking over the situation with a num-
ber of men interested, he decided to
hold off any orders looking to an en-
barge for the present and do the best
he can with the tobacco as it comes in.
The weather all summer has been
ideal for the packing of tobacco, in
that there has been so much rain and
the moisture in the atmosphere has
been abundant. Tobacco cannot be
handled in dry weather. as it will
crumble to pieces, and the only time
the growers can handle it and pack
it in hogsheads after it has been cured
is when the weather is soft" as they
call it. There has been 80 much
soft" weather recently that nearly all
the tobacco in the State has been
packed and the growers have been pill !
ing it into the warehouses here at
rate that has not been equaled for
years.
The result has been that the ware
.louses, both those of the State and of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, have
had all their available space taken up.
There is some space left in the Balti-
more and Ohio warehouse, but that
space, it is said, is being reserved for
the Ohio tobacco which that road ham
dies, and for which it has been accus-
toned to provide warehouse facilities.
The congestion of tobacco in the
warehouses is said to be due to the
lack of shipping facilities to the other
side of the ocean. Practically all the
tobacco grown in Maryland and much
Of that grown in Ohio is purchased by
the French Government. The buyers,
it is said, have bought literally, but
have been unable to take the tobacco
away because of the difficulty of get
ting ships to take it abroad.
