FORMER SENTENCE EFFECTIVE.
Merchant Said to Have Violated Con-
ditions of Suspended Sentence.

Charleston, Oct. 12.-Judge Rice
late this afternoon handed down a
decision on the return of T. w. Map
pus ruling that the defendant had
violated the conditions of his sus-
pended sentence, and so must serve
six months on the chain gang. The
defendant gave notice of appeal, and
furnished bond in the sum of 81 900.
A sensation was sprung in court to-
day, when the Mappus case came be-
fore Judge Rice in a return on an
order to show cause why the defend-
ant, T. w. Mappus, merchant at
Four Mile, should not serve sus-
pended sentence of six months on the
chain gang for violating the prohibi-
tion law. He was sentenced last
June, by Judge Memminger, fine of
$500 being paid, and six months left
to become effective if he violated the
liquor law again. Rutledge Rivers,

the legality of the fall term Of court
as we'll as the June term, on the
grounds that appointments of Judge
Memminger and of Judge Rice by the
chief justice to serve here were in
complete under the new law, and he
also challenged the constitutionality
of the act creating Charleston county
as the Ninth circuit, on the ground
that it deprived defendant in this
circuit of the right of change of
venue, since he could not go to an
other county in the same circuit for
trial, as was specified by the consti-
tuition, since there was only one coun-
ty in this circuit. Judge Rice over
ruled his objections entered under his
plea. Judge Rice refused a jury
hearing in the Mappus case, declar-
ing that he felt it his duty to decide
the issues.

Wilson's Neutrality.

Under much provocation and temp
tation our government has thus far,
with great difficulty, maintained the
neutral attitude of the United States.
That was it's highest duty, and it was
inevitable that in it's performance 1t
would not satisfy either party to the
war or those who sympathized strong
ly with either side. 1t was inevitable
that more or less of a mistake would
be made on account of human limita-
tions in foresight and judgment, but
there is doubt whether, with others
in command, the result would have
been better achieved. But there coulo
be no others in command and posi-
ton has been maintained that may
give the United States far more in
fluence with both sides when it comes
to establishing and maintaining the
peace of the world hereafter than ii
if had favored one side in the war
struggle and incurred the undying
enmity of the other. Better to dis
please both in many details than to
Join one against the other, if we are
to take an effective part in securing
a. league to enforce peace hereafter.
Much will depend upon first seeing
a peace established in which the
seeds of war will not be implanted

DANGEROUS STORM.
Tropical Disturbance Continues to
Move NOrthWard.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE wealth
er bureau tonight reported the trori-
cal storm still moving northward
across the Gulf of Mexico but its
exact location and probable point of
striking the coast could not be de-
termined. Storm warnings were con-
tinued from Carrabelle, Fla, to the
mouth of the Mississippi river, but it
was said no further advices would be
issued tonight.
A wireless message this afternoon
from the battleship Nebraska, about
125 miles north of Yucatan, said a
south wind was blowing ninety miles
an hour.
Low pressure and moderate winds
were recorded along the Gulf coast
with rain between Pensacola and New
Orleans.
At Burwood, La, nine inches OF
rain fell during the day. Heavier
winds were forecasted for later to-
night.
Late tonight the weather bureau
announced that no hurricane warn
ing would be issued tonight, but said
the storm apparently still was of a
very dangerous character, though
small in diameter. Its centre could
not be definitely located.

GALLON=M0NTH LAW 0. K.
DECLARED TO BE CONSTITUTION
AL By COURT.
High Tribunal in En- Banc Session
Also Upholds Constitutionality of
Webb-KenyOn Act.

Columbia, Oct. 14.-The gallon-a-
month law was held constitutional in
a decision rendered by the supreme
court en- banc here tonight. The de-
cision, which was written by Asso-
ciate Justice Hydrick, upheld the
constitutionality of the Webb-Ken-
yon act passed by congress. The ma
jority decision was concurred in by
four members of the supreme court,
and eight of the circuit judges. A
dissenting opinion was filed in this
case by Associate Justice Watts,
which was concurred in by three cir
cult judges.
The case arose from Richland
county, entitled Bremen against the
Southern Express company and in
volved the refusal of the express COM
pany to deliver to the plaintiff more
than one gallon of whiskey ordered
for personal use month. In his Pc
tition the plaintiff attacked the con-
stitutionality of the Webb-Kenyon
law, and the gallon-a-month act, both
of which, however, are. declared to
be constitutional.
Majority's Opinion.
The majority opinion sets forth
that the legislature has the power to
limit the amount of whiskey which a
citizen may order for his personal use
and says such action is not in con-
travention of the immunities and
privileges guaranteed to citizens by
the constitution of the United States,
It also holds that congress has the
power to withdraw interstate protec-
ton from liquor shipments into
States which have laws against the
sale or use of whiskey.

What He Thought.

A new railroad through Louisiana
strikes some of the towns about a
mile from the business centre, so it
is necessary to run a bus line. A
salesman stopping in one of the
towns asked the old darkey bus
driver about it.
"Say, Uncle, why have they got the
depot way down here?"
After moments hesitation the old
darkey replied: "Ah dunno, boss,

Work on the Properties
 Now Under Way

The construction of a road from Don Luis to the proposed shaft site on 'ARIZONA-BISBEE COP PER" property is now well under way, and should soon be com pleted.
 A double-compartment shaft will be sunk near the center of the company's property, and will be located immediately south of the "Bisbee-West" fault, and south west of the old 'Bisbee-West" shaft. A drift will be run from the deep workings of the shaft under Red Mountain, and that area of the Companys property explored.
 In addition, the company's ground will be exploited at various other points by drilling.

An Appeal to the
Sportsmen Of the State

Dear Sirs:
For the past twelve months l, as
president of the Dorchester County
Game and Fish Protective Associa-
ton, have worked untiringly with
the officials of the Bureau of Biologi-
cal Survey, of Washington, D. c., re-
Questing them to extend the season
on wild fowl shooting in Maryland to
Marsh LIST, and pointing out to them
my reasons for same. Until recently
l have had very little encouragement
that my request would be granted,
but at this writing am glad to re-
port the prospects for change of
season to March LIST, on wild fowl,
are very bright. II the sportsmen of
our State now will back up my eff
forts and write at once, urging the
department to give us this extension,
l feel sure we will get our request.
l appeal to every sportsman in
Maryland to address letter, asking
for extension Of our wild fowl season
to March 1st, to Mr.. H. w. Henshaw,
Chief, Biological Survey, Washing
ton, D. c., as I have received notice
from him stating that they expect to
take this matter up in the near fu-
ture. and that my recommendations
in this connection will receive care

KERR IS AGGRESSIVE
Republican Candidate in First Dis
trict Il Good Campaianer.

Josiah Leeds Kerr, of Dorchester
county, is waging an aggressive cam
paign for the Republican nomination
for Congress in the First district, and
is basing his claims for support upon
his record and his ability to line up
the party solidly behind his candl-
dacy in the fall campaign, should he
be nominated. There can be no doubt
that Mr.. Kerr has a host of friends
on the Eastern Shore who are work
ing enthusiastically in his behalf, ALI
of whom believe he would prove a
winner should he receive the nomi-
nation. When Mr.. Kerr was elected
to Congress in 1900 he made a most
remarkable run against the late
Judge Brown, of Queen Anne county,
polling the full strength of his party
in all of the counties and receiving
hundreds of Democratic votes. Dur
ing his brief term he was known as a
hard worker, and undoubtedly ac-
complished substantial results for
his district
His friends claim that he is very
popular with the masses; is fine
campaigner, and has no fractional
alliances which would weaken him
in the general election. Having been
a travelling salesman for many years,
he believes that laws should be en-
acted giving the thousands of travel
ing men of the country the right to
cast vote at presidential election
wherever they may be on election
day. He is a firm believer in the
principles of the Republican party,
and not long ago came out strongly
for a protective tariff, an adequate
Army and Navy and liberal appro-
priations for the improvement of our
waterways. Mr.. Kerr is at present
representing a wellknown school
| textbook publishing house. He is also
one of the directors of the Maryland
Penitentiary, and takes a great in
terest in the school which was estab-
lished in that institution about two
years ago for the education of illit-
| crate prisoners.-Today's Baltimore
