DRY BILL PASSES.
BALTIMORE CITY AND WET COUNTIES
VOTE SEPARATE LIQUOR CAN BE
MANUFACTURED If STATE GOES
DRY-VOTE ON BILL In NOVEMBER
AND If THE DRYS WIN WILL GO
INTO EFFECT In 1918.

The Prohibition bill, with the Nc
Intosh amendment, passed both
branches of the Legislature in yes
terday's session. The Senate also
amended the bill by providing that
liquor may be manufactured in dry
territory for sale in wet" The
House has made the bill the special
order for tomorrow at noon to con-
slider the amendment.
III, as is expected, the House con-
ours in the amendment, the two
branches will be in agreement
and the bill will 60 to Governor Har-
rington for his signature. He will
sign it.
The bill, with only the Mcintosh
amendment inserted, passed the
House by the staggering vote of so to
4. After that branch had acted upon
it, the Senators on both sides went
into conference and the great ma
jority of them agreed to accept the bill
with that amendment.
A stand was made on the Senate
side, however, for an amendment per-
mitting the manufacture of liquor in
dry territory for sale in wet" This
was largely in the interest Of the dis
tilleries In Baltimore county in the
event the county goes dry"
1t was contended that such an
amendment would have been adopted
in the House, but that in the confus-
ion Tuesday night, after the adoption
of the Mcintosh amendment, the
amendment was overlooked and the
bill was ordered printed for it's third
reading. A number of the "drys" OBJ
jected to such an amendment on the
Senate side, however, and the matter
was fought out on the floor. The
amendment was carried there by a
vote of 16 to II.
Then the Senate suspended the rules
and by vote of 20 to 6 passed the
bill with the Mcintosh amendment
and the amendment to permit the
manufacture of liquor in dry" ter
ritory for sale in wet"
DR.. Hare, the superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon League, who is rather dis
gusted at the outcome of the fight,
said that he desired the amendment
adopted in the House because he
wanted the Governor to be entirely
satisfied with the bill.
The bill, as amended, provides that
Baltimore city, Allegany county,
Washington county, Frederick coun-
ty, Baltimore county, Prince Georges
county, Ellicott City, in Howard coun-
ty; Havre de Grace, in Hartford coun-
ty, and Annapolis, and the wet" pre-
cincts in Anne Arundel county shall
vote separately upon whether the sale
of intoxicating liquors shall be pro-
hibited. Each of the units named
above will determine the question for
itself. The election in each unit will
be held this fall on the day of the
Presidential election.
If the drys win in the election next
November the law will go into effect
in 1918.

GIOVANNI BONANO NOT GUILTY
Tried Before Justice Brown Yesterday
at Court House.

The case of Giovanni Bonano, who
was arrested last week as the guilty
party in the dynamiting Of dwelling
in Union Bridge, March 2, was dis
missed by Justice Brown after
hearing in the Court House yesterday
afternoon.
All concerned in the case were
Italians and a Spaniard, and was
some knotty problem for Justice
Brown and the counsels to make out
what they were saying. An inter-
pretor was used so the court could
understand each question answered.
Only once did the Interpreter balk
and that was when a Spaniard was
put on the stand as a witness.
