Lid Goes Down Tight
On Giddy New Orleans;
Cabarets Sans Wine
(By Associated Press.1

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 16.-Cabarets
and dance halls in the restricted dis
trict as we'll as in the so-called tango
belt outside of the district were closed
here last night following the issuing of
orders by police officials for rigid en-
forceemnt of the Gay-Shuttuck law.
The law prohibits serving of liquor
to women in places other than licensed
restaurants; forbids women entering
cabarets or dance halls unescorted and
forbids entertainers at cabarets min

A former custom of serving sandwich
es with drinks to evade the law was
upset by n recent ruling in the state
supreme court which held that a sand
witch did not constitute meal and that
in order to operate and serve drinks
a cabaret or dance hall must have a
licensed restaurant attached
The police informed cabaret and
dance hall proprietors they could keep
open provided the provisions of the
Gay-Shuttuck law were observed. To-
night the police said all of the places,
numbering about twenty, were closed.
At a mass meeting held tonight under
the auspices of the Citizens League of
Louisiana, vice conditions in the city
were discussed and a committee of
twenty-five appointed to investigate
further and report at meeting to be
held at a future date. About 500 at

A HELPFUL BOOZE.

Dear Readers of the Semi-Weekly:
Another year has passed and brought
many changes; to some of much sad
ness. Some Of us feel that during 1915
our hearts have been crushed and our
spirits almost broken. My poor heart
goes out in sympathy to those who
have given up loved ones and especially
to those who have lost children. And
while we may feel that all is well with
our loved ones who have passed away.
yet we long for them with us, and the
separation seems more than we can
bear. Through our troubles our hearts
are turned to higher things and our
thoughts are more and more about our

Cnerokees. The charter that George IL
gave to Oglethorpe in trust for the
poor" admitted Jews. but not Papists.
The Moravians founded Ebenezer. near
Savannah. In a few years the colony
raised $4,000 worth of raw silk and
indigo. One hundred and twenty imi-
grants came at first. In 1886 500 9TH
ers arrived along with John and Charles
Wesley and other Moravians who were
enthused with reports from Ebenezer.
The Wesleys remained only two years
Spain became troublesome and Ogle-
pare for the struggle with that coun-
try. In 1872 George Whitfield visited
Georgia He went back to get funds
for the Savannah orphans. Ogle-
thorpe raised a regiment in England
and when he reached Savannah he had
a joyful greeting.
Oglethorpe heads a company of 1900
soldiers and invades Florida but was
unsuccessful. In 1912 Spanish troops
from Cuba invaded Georgia but failed.
General Oglethorpe sailed for England
in 174S, and never returned. In 17S3
the Georgia trustees surrendered their

What is the status of the proposed
annex areas in so far as Congress
sional and State legislative affiliations
are concerned?
The Bill does not disturb the Con-
gressional status of any part OF the
annex territory. All of that portion
of Baltimore county which is now a
portion of the Second Congressional
District will remain in that District.
All of that portion of Anne Arundel
county which is portion of the Fifth
Congressional District will remain in
that District.
In so. far as the General Assembly
of Maryland is concerned, the annex
ed areas will merge into the city leg
islative districts to which they are
contiguous.
The new ward,to be known as the
Twentv-sixth Ward will be attached
to the First Legislative District OF

Why the Business Man Rather
Than The Politician Is The
Real Champion of City Extension

One of the very urgent reasons for
seeking city extension is to give Bal
timore city the right to crush the i'm
moral and unsanitary spots which are
menacing the city's welfare along the
line of her outlying boundaries. I'm
der county jurisdiction they are
shame and disgrace There is moth
ing in the city comparable to some of
the rottenness which is fiourishing in
the surrounding belt under county jur-
isdiction. 1t is a veritable poison to
Baltimore city life. 1t should be elm
mated. The atmosphere should be
clarified. All these hell-holes should
be closed. And they will be closed
under the strong hands of the vari-
Gus lines of effective machinery which
have made Baltimore relatively one
of the healthiest and one of the most
moral municipalities in the country.
Leading City on Record For Economy
Baltimore isn't in the clutches" of
a bunch of bad politicians. For the
past ten years Baltimore, according
to the statistics of the United States
authorities, has been the leading city
in this country in the record for
economy in the operation of her NUM-
cipal government. There has been no
blood-sucking by the politicians.
Baltimore's form of government for
titles her against sufferings of that
kind That is why dollar in Bal
timore usually approximates a dol
lars worth of results. That is why,
hygienically, Baltimore city is rela-
lively better than the surrounding
belt That is why, in proportion, Bal
timore has fewer rotten places into
which rotten politicians" can thrust
their itching palms.
Oh, yes, D ltimore city has some
bad politicians. And so has Balt1-
more county. And so has Anne Ar
undel county. The Baltimore city
stripe is no worse than those in the
above mentioned two counties. No
body claims that they are any better.
Will Necessarily Produce Better
Results.
But, Baltimore city governmental
machinery is so constituted that 1t
will necessarily produce better results,

despite any politicians, than the ma
county can do. The Baltimore City
Health Department is bigger, better,
more effectively organized and more
productive of fine sanitary conditions.
The police department is better hand
led, better disciplined, more expert in
its operations and is more successful
in the suppression of illegality and i'm
morality The street paving depart
ment is better prepared and more ex-
perienced in the work of extending
highways and maintaining them
properly The street lighting depart
ment has the art of highway illumin-
alton worked down to point of ex-
ceptional excellence. The water de-
partment is better able to provide an
abundant supply than any private
company in the counties. The sewer
department in Baltimore stands sec
ond to none in the world. In brief,
Baltimore city can develop this belt
in accordance with modern city plan
ming.
Not the Same Chance for Graft.
Nor is there the same chance for
graft in the operations of the munich
pal government The city charter
throws open all contracts, be they for
constructive work or for purchase of
supplies, to public, competitive bid
ding Nobody gets any contract by
pull And protection" for immoral
projects or illegal enterprises is diff
ficult undertaking in Baltimore city.
The public interests in the city are
thus better guarded. The bad poll
tician is held in check.
There may be 'baa politicians in
Baltimore city, but they are so hedg-
ed about by law that they can't get
in their nefarious work quite as sue
cessfully as can the "bad politician
in the two counties That being true,
it can very readily be understood why
the bad city politicians are not half
so anxious to secure annexation as
the bad county politicians are an
xious to defeat it.
A very marked distinction should
be made between politicians who are
"public-spirited" and politicians who
are bad"

Neither Baltimore Nor Anne Arundel
Counties Will Lose Any Representatives

Fourth Legislative District of Balti-
more city.
The transfer of Baltimore county
and Anne Arundel county territories
to the several Baltimore city legisla-
tive districts will not, ipso facto, in
crease Baltimore citys representation
in the General Assembly; neither will
it diminish the representation of eth
er of the counties. Baltimore city's
four districts will continue to send
six delegates each, totaling "a; and
one senator each; making the city's
representation in the General AS
sembly %, the same as it is now.
Baltimore county will retain her
. six delegates and one senator, and
Anne Arundel will retain her four
delegates and one senator;-so that
their legislative influence will in no.
wise be reduced as the result of this
Bill.
Nor will Baltimore city's represen-
tation be to the slightest degree in
creased.
Baltimore's desire to grow is but a
reflection of the ambition of every
town and city in Maryland.

RAISING SNAKES FOR CIRCUS
Most of the Reptiles Used by Snowman
Are Obtained From Texas Farm
Where They Are Bred.

Most of the snakes used by show
men, writes Carl L. Thompson in the
Wide World Magazine, are procured
from a large "snake farm" at San
Antonio, Tex, where all kinds Of
reptiles are bred for commercial pur-
poses. This farm, at the time | was
in business, consisted of eight acres
for snakes alone, besides the land
required for raising rabbits, chick
ems, frogs and other "snake feed"
That snake ranching is quite thirty
ing industry may be judged from
the fact that this place employs so
men and IL women.
The snakes most used are rattlers,
Mexican bull snakes and whip
snakes (nonpoisonous), and are sold
by the pound, ranging from 60 cents
to 81, rattlers being the most expen-
sive. In extracting the fangs at
the farm before shipment an en-
ployee holds the rattler's head be-
tween his thumb and forefnger, with
the tail under his arm, and prizes the
snakes mouth open with pair Of
wooden pliers, the fangs being then
clipped off with a small pair Of
manicure scissors.
