District line and do any cunning in
Maryland, and. it is stated. warning
sign should be posted a short distance
below the railroad bridge to prevent
Washington sportsmen from going to
territory where Maryland consta bles

Provision against trespassing on pri-
vate property along the river shore is
contained in section of the law which
provides:
That any person who shall know
ingly trespass on the lands of another
for the purpose of shooting or hunting
thereon, after due notice by the owner
or occupant of lands. shall be liable to
such owner Or occupant in exemplary
damages to an amount not exceeding

erecting and maintaining signboards,

ises, and at least two such signs for
every fifty acres; and any person who
shall maliciously tear down or in any
signboards shall be liable to a penalty
of not less than s. for each and every
signboard so torn down. defaced or
injured. and in defaul TO be impris-
oned for a period not exceeding thirty

Years ago most of the shooting was
done from skiffs. but in recent years
hundreds of gunners wade about the
edges of the marshes or traverse the
shore and content themselves with
shooting a few stray birds

The opening day of the season will
mean the presence of large numbers of
gunners on the several marshes, and
the police fear some of them will be
shot by careless or excited gunners
Maj. Pullman will have an extra
number of policemen on hand in the
vicinity of the marshes Wednesday
morning to see to getting quick first
aid action should any of the gunners
be wounded by stray shot Although
there will not be flood tide early
that morning the river probably will
be high enough for skiffs to penetrate
the marshes.

Sinking of F4.
Efforts to Raise Boat.

Secretary Daniels announced that the
boat would be raised at any cost in order
to determine the cause of the accident,
and diving apparatus and divers were sent
out, leaving San Francisco April 6 on the
cruiser, Maryland. One of the divers.
Frank Crilly, went down 22S feet and
found one of the compartments of the
F-4 filled with water Another, William
1-oughman, descended 22O feet the next
day. and was seriously injured by water
pressure. These men put lines on the
F-4 by which the boat was dragged
slowly up the shelving bottom but in
the process the stern was wrecked and
broken. and work was halted to await
the arrival Of pontoons. Six of these,
capable of lifting sixty tons each, were
sent from Mare Island navy yard early
in August OH the Maryland
At the time of the accident reports
gained circulation that the FL was
not in good shape when she went be-

NOT GUILTY.
The Editor Weekly Messenger,

The Editor Weekly Messenger,
Dear Sir:
You are in error whom you stats
that the Recall Committee 20 a
whole has the cold feet:-I admi,
that some members OF the CON-
mittse backed out, but it 10 the
voters OF the First Ward who have
the cool feet for while admitting
that the two members OF the Po-
lice Jury from the First Ward are
failures and should be recalled
they are afraid to sign for their
recall.
BE that as it may I will not at
tempt to defend the committee,
but merely wish to state that as
member of said Committee / have
nothing to reproach myself OF nor
am l tho kind that gets cold feet.
Consequently 1 refuse to BE-
blamed if some members of tho
committee failed to d. their duty
in the matter; either because they
wsre cowed down by political
pressure or any other influence
unknown to me.
Whom / called on one member
of tho committee and asked him
why he did not circulate his petit
ton he replied that the politicians
had him cornsred.
In conclusion I wish to state
that the voters OF the first ward
although not willing to sign the
recall petition for some reason or
other are not at oil timid in ex.
pressing their utter disgust of the
Police Jurors OF tho First Ward
and may have . little surprise in
store for the political sponsors of
tho two Nom bers of tho Police
Jury.
Very truly yours,

New York, Oct. 29.-At least 100000
ounces of quinine are in stock in the
United States, of which approximately
not less than 10000 ounces are in the
hands of dealers in this city, it has
been learned from trade sources. This
is almost a years ordinary supply.
Nevertheless, quinine is selling at
$3.50 an ounce, against 25 cents an
ounce eighteen months ago.
The rise is laid to a speculative
movement which, it is said, is one oil
| the boldest in the drug business dur
| ing a quarter of century.
The quinine gamblers have made
| 100000 here and $1,500,000 abroad
and predicted yesterday that quinine
will go to $5 an ounce before the wal
is ended.

We have told the people of Hatties-

years that Vinol is the greatest rem
edy for chronic coughs and colds that
we ever sold. Mr.. Dunning says
81 took a heavy cold which settled
into chronic cough. 1t seemed as

night, so l could not sleep. I was all
rundown and so weak could hardly
keep about. / tried different cough
medicines but seemed to get worse

fore it was half gone was better and
its continued use cured my cough,
built me up and am feeling fine."-

Vinol is not a palliative like cough
syrups, but it is a constitutional rem
edy for coughs, colds and bronchitis
which removes the cause and stops
the cough, and the recovery Of Mr.

MISSISSIPPI ROUTE
THE LOGICAL ONE
Continued from Page Two.)

The problems of building and main
tanning a good road over this section
of the proposed Alabama route are
just the same as the problems of build
ing and maintaining railroad over
the same section, minus the operating
income of the railroad. But, suppos-
ing the road he built, there is no GER
tainty that it will stay there for any
length of time, because the next trop-
ical storm will doubtless put it out Of
use. Right now, there is doubt wheth-
er the good road along the coast that
was demolished by the recent tropical
storm will be rebuilt. The old shell
road at Mobile, once the pride of her
citizens, has nevr been rebuilt since
the storm of 1906. The constant peril
of a coast highway becoming impas-
sable without notice, on account of a
storm. cannot be too strongly empha-
sized.
1.-THE government surveyors, when
laying out the old Jackson military
road, laid it as nearly as possible a
direct route from Nashville to New
orleans, shorter than the Central Ala
bama route by 220 miles. This fact
means that the road can be more
ouickly constructed, more easily main
tanned. and will entail less travelling
expense and open greater attraction
for the countrywide tourist
"The old Jackson military road, Sc
lected by Jackson himself, is a direc
route, passes through nearly leve
country. crosses no streams hard Il
bridge, and runs through a countr!
where there is an abundance of road
building material A highway alon'
this route can easily be maintained II
passable condition at all times. for !

ing almost as much out of American
consumers as ere the quinine gam
blers. They have boosted Norwegian
oil from $40 thirty-gallon barrel. to
$S5, and Newfoundland oil from SIT
to S65 a barrel. This has been work.
ed, it is said, on false stories of sus-
pended shipments. whereas there has
been and is practically no hindrance
to United States dealers getting prac-
tically all the oil they require.
So far, notwithstanding the advance
in quinine and cod liver oil prices,
there has been no advance, in gen.
eral, in drug store prices. Many drug
gists' stocks are practically exhaust
ed Some wholesalers refuse to quote
quinine, saying they have none te
sell.
