ture and the Whiskey Influence
in Maryland,

(The following communication was
written and forwarded to the Baltimore
Sun by prominent business man of
Oakland while the Prohibition Amend
ment was being considered by the
Maryland Legislature. but it failed to

these columns Editor Republican,
Editor of The Sun:
1t is apparent to all that the liquor
interests of this State dominate the
press of Baltimore City, but the ques-
ton arises have said interests of the
State of Maryland by the throat? This
question is suggested by the report
published in the Sun of the proceedings
in the Maryland Legislature in regard
to submitting to the people of the State
as whole, the question whether or
not Intoxicating liquors shall be manu-
featured and sold within its borders.

BIG Oay VI campaign
1t was the big day" of the cam
paign in all respects, so far as results
were concerned, and Sunday made
acknowledgment of the fact when, in
concluding the evening service at the
tabernacle, he gave thanks to God for
this memorable day in the history Of
Baltimore"
He preached on "Chickens Come
Home to Roost,' sermon baSed on
text from the one hundred and fourth
Psalm, Let the sinner be consumed
out of the earth and let the wicked be
no more" Its keynote was an ampli-
fication of the Decalogue provision:
For the sins of the father shall be
visited upon the children unto the
third and fourth generation"
1t was the sermon he had delivered
In the afternoon, but his congregation
was made up of other men than those
who had packed the building for the
service that started at 1.15 O'Clock, 40
minutes ahead of schedule.
There was nothing sensational at
either meeting in the trail-hitting. Men

FOR CLEAN RESTAURANTS.

The move of the City Health De- pertinent for a systematic inspection of the kitchens of hotels, restaurants and eating houses will be cordially ap- plauded by the patrons of such pIaces,> and, if conscientiousiy pursued, will do much for the preservation Of the publics right to decentIy handled and decent1y cooked food. It is notorious that ptomaine troubles have followed more than one public dinner, most of us suspect that some foods offered at table d'hote or 9, la carte places are not what they ought to be, and every housewife knows that her own dif1- cu1tteS must beset the restaurant kitchen in emphasized form
 Medical inspection of employees clean utensils, clean garbage cans, plenty of running hot water and soap. fresh dish towels. washable garments for workers, satisfactory refrigerators, doors, and clean walls and ceilings ought to be universal. They are not universal The cases where all these demands are met may even be regard ed rare exceptions.
 The Health Department proposes to offer to the eating house proprietOrs big cards marked Good "Fair,'' or t'Bad,''l for voluntary exhibition It is questionable whether the depart ment would have the power to make the exhibition compulsory.

CENTER SHOT.

It occurred in one of the gambling dens of the Far West, such as are only to be found in films and fiction. As the group of COW punchers lost or won huge fortunes on the turn of a pack of greasy cards, a newcomer burst excited1y into the place.
 Heard about Dickson getting shot?' he gasped to his astonished audience.
 The COW punchers gathered round him to hear the news.
 ''No,'' they cried, 'fWhen ?'F
 Bout half an hour ago." came the reply. ''I was there and saw it alI.''
 Where did he get shot?'' was the next question flung at him, while hands frightened ominously on re- volver butts.
 Down at the store,'' chuckIed the jester calmly. ''He bought a couple of pounds of it.''-Exchange.

KINGS IN OLD CLOTHES
(Exchange)

There is a clothes dealer in London who for years has made it his speci- alty to purchase showy costumes and discarded military and official uri- forms for disposal in the orient and Africa.
 It is said that even the retiring Lord Mayors of London have become, almost by official tradition, this deal CTS customers, and that the cooked hat, gold-laced coat and knee brooches that have formed an inspiring feature of the famous pageants are, as like as not, the next year to delight the eyes of darkest Africa upon the proud person of some native.
 Some amusing comments have been made by this dealer with reference to the eagerness with which the native in the interior of Africa takes over this discarded finery. He states that at the bazaarS where his goods are purchased he has seen blacks sol emnly walking around with waistcoats buttoned behind instead of before and even men wearing women's costumes Big fellows have been seen in clothes so small that one could not imagine how they got into them nor how they could get out unless the stitching gave way.
 It is related that the Prince de Jofnville, when off the Gaboon coast, once received on his ship an official visit from two chiefs, father and son, who must have been customers of the London dealer mentioned Each own ed for ceremonial purposes a military uniform
 That of the father was an English generals while that of the son was a hussar's. Its intricate cut, numerous buttons, straps and buckles, together with the painfully small size of the uniform, proved too much for him. He sent the Prince despairing mes sage imp1oring help, and @ relief par ty of delighted midshipmen was sent to dress him and bring him aboard.
 They obeyed orders, but with the mischievousness of youth. They so frightened every fastening of the na tive's already overnight attire that the poor fellow was nearly bursting with combined pride and suffocation when he arrived. Every one agreed that wounted fineery by any method less drastic than cutting him out.
 It appears that no manner of wear ing complete costume ever equals in effect some of the savages' com binations of unrelated items. One venerable African chieftain received his European guests with an anti quated evening shoulder cape of pink lowered satin and spangles, worn about his waist as an apron, while his white wool was martially crowned with a military helmet.
 Still another conducted important negotiations with an exploring party clad simply and impressively in a woman's large Gainsborough hat, a pair of cavalry boots and necklace of the glistening tin ornaments used to decorate Christmas trees.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN, IF

If, as the perfected German naval critics assert, the sea power of Great Britain is shattered we must look for the immediate opening of German ports, the restoration of German com merce the effective blockadfng of the British coast and an end to the ship ment of men and supplies to the front in France and Flanders, and also to the theaters of war farther over seas. Unless Germany can accomplish these ends, the sea dominance of Great Bri- tain remains what it was before the battle. If she can accomplish these ends the war must end in her favor, because without sea control the AL lies cannot long endure.

COMPLETE JURY
 FOR RAE TANzER DESPITE PROTEST
Attorney Benjamin Slad e Makes Strong Plea for
 Further Delay.

New York, June 9.-Another wig orous effort to have the trial of Rae Tanzer adjourned was made by Miss Tanzer's attorneys before Judge Vol verton in the United States District Court yesterday. Attorney Benja- min Shade, who appeared as associate counsel for Miss Tanzer. who is charged with perjury, insisted that there were three valid reasons why the case should go over until Monday morning in spite of the fact that the iimpane1ling of the jury began yester- day afternoon.
 Judge woIverton was inclined at first to make short shrift of the mo- ton, but the insistence of counsel for the defense won for them a secret hearing in the Judges chambers.
 At this hearing Attorney Slade laid before the Court certain facts which, he held, disqualified Harold SpieIberg, Miss Tanzer's attorney of record, from acting in the case.
 Attorney Slade, in asking for the private conference. said that he would also give the name of an important witness who disappeared just before the other trials were called and du- nIicated this act just before the pres ent case was called. Moreover Slade insisted that the case had not been prepared because Attorney of Record Spielberg had thought that it would never be brought to trial
 Attorney Spielberg resented Shades insinuations and consented to explain all his activities in the case in the Judges chambers
 Ex-Lieut.-Gov. Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler, Miss Tanzer's chief counsel, explained to the Court that Benjamin Shade of the law firm of Shade & Slade, who handled Miss Tanzer's breach of promise suit against James w., Os- borne had consented to assist him in the perjury charge gratuitously. At torney Chan1er himself said yesterday that he was interested in the case on- Iy because he wanted to see Miss Tan ger get a square deal.
 The conference in the judges cham bers lasted an hour and forty-f1ve the selecting of the jury was contin- as to whether the defence's request for an adjournment had been granted. There was a rumor current that the witness whose presence Attorney 'Slade demanded at the secret conference was Oliver Osborne, who assumed full blame for the misdeeds ascribed to James w. Osborne and then disap- peared.
 At o'clock twelve taIesmen were selected who were satisfactory to both sides, but the ceremony of swearing them in was postponed until the be- ginning of the afternoon session.
 The jurors selected were Frederick Kelly, 1O2 West Twenty-ninth street; Abram H. Tompino, retired, Linden street, Yonkers; William J. Hurley,

KEEPING THERMOMETERS
 AT HOME


 Emissaries from the large indus trial centers, which means just now where orders for war supplies are greatest, are securing Vermont, try ing to lure skilled mechanics to other states. We advise the Vermonters to stick to their jobs. Ten to one their employers are paying them all they can afford. Their homes and home ties are here. The cost of living is much less. Tenements in Bridgeport Waterbury, Providence. Springfield Newark and such places are almost impossible to get and the rent double that of ordinary times. After the war is over and what Frank Howe calls, a gamblers prosperity collapses, thou sands of these mechanics will be out of a job. Then the man from Yer mont will wish he had not listened to the voice of the siren with offers of big pay. Turn a deaf ear to him now -Vergennes Enterprise.

Imitation Fur.

A process patented in France con-
sists in an Improvement in the manu-
facture of stuffs or objects which imi-
tate fur, plush, or velvet, or for use
as carpets and the like. The process
starts with an animals fur, or an as
semblage of animal or vegetable fibers,
and these are immobilized by freezing
them in a block of ice.
The ice is then sawed into slabs,
and a slab is made to undergo sur
face melting so as to partially free
the hair or fibers on one side; then
suitable glue or cement is applied up
on this surface. A sheet Of flexible
material acting as the basis of tho
new makeup is then laid on, so that
the hairs adhere to it, and afterWard
the whole is freed from the ice py
melting. leaving the hairs attached to
the support.
Rubber serves as good basis for
the glue or cement, and the support Is
also coated with the same, and this
rubber can then be vuleanized so as
to give good adhesion and su2Dleness

Riches in East African Lakes.

The immense deposits Of soda ct
German and British East Africa rank
with the most important known, and
form great lakes that are mentioned
as among the latest discovered world
wonders Victor Cambon, a French
angineer, notes that Lake Magadi,
with an area of about rs square miles,
is apparently a single mass OF solid
sesquicarbonate of soda, almost chem
ically pure. An English engineer has
found that it is fed by many streams
of water heavily charged with carbo-
nate of soda, indicating that the main
source of the soda is not yet revealed,
and has shown that this deposit is
more than nine feet deep, and may
have a depth two or even ten times as
great. This lake is east of Lake Vic
toria and about $50 miles from the
Indian ocean. Across the line, in Ger
man East Africa are even larger soda
lakes, and Lake Natron, one OF the
number, has an area greater than that
of Lake Geneva.
