Prohibition Legislation Is
Adopted BY Vote of
32l to II.
PREVENTS LIQUOR SHIPMENTS
Into Any Of Twenty-Five Arid
States-Ban Placed On
Newspaper Ads.

Washington, d. C.-Prohibition
legislation of the most drastic ma
ture was approved by Congress
when the House by vote of 321 to
~ accepted the Senate rider to the
Post-office Administration Bill, max
ing it a crime to send intoxicating
liquor into States where its manu-
facture and sale is prohibited.
Coupled with this provision,
which will have the effect of making
twenty-five States bone dry was
provision that newspapers, circulars
cards carrying liquor advertisements
cannot be carried through the Unit
ed States mails into States where
publication of such advertisements
are forbidden. Eleven States now
have such laws.
The most curious lineup of wet
and dry forces that Congress has
seen since the birth of prohibition
movement, developed on the final
roll call on the so-called Reed
amendment. Many dry" members
opposed the drastic measure on the
ground that it would nullify State
laws which do not restrict personal
use' and that it would prove harm
full to the cause. Many wet" men,
bers voted for it because they be-
lieved in giving the alleged dry
States a taste of prohibition that
prohibits.
FanaticaI Action.
All arguments advanced against
such drastic legislation by either
near drys" or "wets" were swept
aside in the almost fanatical deter
mination of the House to carry pro-
hibition legislation to it's greatest
heights. DRY" members tried to
show how the legislation would hurt
the cause of prohibition; but bone
dry, members refused to listen;
"wets" sought to demonstrate the
harmful effects, in a financial way,
of such sumptuary legislation and
other "wets" followed the principle:
of they want prohibition let's give
them the real thing"
OF the Kentucky members of the
House only two voted against the
legislation. They were Representa-
tives Swager Sherley, of Louisville,
and A. B. Rouse, of Burlington.
Those voting for the Reed amend
ment were: Alben w. Barkley, of
Paducah; David H. Kincheloe. of
Madisonville; Robert Y. Thomas,
Jr., of Central City; Harvey Helm,
of Stanford: j. Campbell Cantrill, of
Georgetown; William j. Fields, of
Olive Hill; John w. Langley. of
Pikeville. and Caleb Powers. of Bar
bourville.
Representative Ben Johnson was
called from the House by the death
of Joel T. Pile. his former secretary,
and did not reach the Capitol again
until after the vote had been taken.
He declined later to state how he
would have voted.

OUR PURPOSES.

The purposes of the United States
in this war are known to the whole
world, to every people to whom the
truth has been permitted to come.
We seek no material advantage of
any kind. We believe that the in
tolerable wrongs done in this war
by the furious and brutal power of
the Imperial German Government
ought to be repaired but not at the
expense of the sovereignty of any
people-rather vindication of the
sovereignty both of those that are
weak and those that are strong.
= Peace must be based upon JUS
tice and fairness and the common
rights of mankind From President
Wilson's Reply to the Pope.

spotlessly groomed, generous per-
son" he said recently to the Editor
and Publisher. "The time has passed
when he may be pictured as most
unmagnanimous type, one who in
a taxicab gazes with one eye at the
meter and with the other at his
watch. It is unjust that he usually
has been presented in stories as
charlatan, but these stories are
written only by authors who are
Jews themselves. / am positive that
if !, Christian, were to ever pat
tern my stories after the style of,
for example, Montague Glass, l
should bring upon my head storm
of protestation from the Jewish race.
Yet they are willing not only to toll
crate these gross eNaggeratlons
from authors of their own religion,
but even regard them as being anus
ing"
This statement should be read not
only by the many newspaper inita
tors of Montague Glass, but by Jews
who desire a fair, unbiased opinion
from an outside source regarding
the so-called liberal attitude toward
the efforts of one entire group of
magazine short story writer's, that
is affected in some Jewish circles.
1t should be read by entertain
ment committees Of Jewish organ
izations and by the entertainers
themselves.
And, lastly, it should be read by
Jews who derive living by defam-
ing and hooking the religion of
their fathers, through the medium
of the burlesque or vaudeville stage.

ATTENTION AUTO OWNERS

There is a young Mexican living on Shannon Hill who is obliged to go a mile or more to school every day on crutches. The young man is de ternined to get an education to make up for his physical disability. Every morning and every night he goes over the long and steep route from the high school to his home on Shannon Hill His progress is so slow that it takes him over two hours to cover the distance. He is most deserving boy and steps should be ta- ken to see that he has some easier method of getting to school. Here is an opportunity for some kind hearted people with. automobiles to do a real act of charity for a de serving case. It is proposed that about ( people take weekly turns in transporting the boy to and from school. This would bring each per sons duty about six weeks apart so that it would not be heavy burden.
 If you have a car and with it a leavening of the greatest virtue you will notify Mrs. w. B. Foote, presi- dent of the Woman's Club, of your readiness to place your car at the disposal of this charity.

DUNCAN VISITED BY S5O00 DOLLAR.
 FIRE

Special to the Copper Era)-What might have been a very disastrous fire, perhaps destroying most of the town, occurred on last Sunday after noon, originating in the restaurant conducted by Sherman Stewart, in his building across the tracks from the postoffice The fire was discov- cred at about 3:30 o'clock and be- fore many minutes had elapsed the entire interior of the restaurant was ablaze, preventing the volunteer fire fighters from saving any of the contents of the building.
 i Due to the untiring and ceaseless efforts of scores of men, the flames were confined to the building in which the fire had originated, and frame building adjoining. but not until the frame building owned by Mrs. Mary E. Harrison was literally torn down piece by piece. Again and again the flames caused the men
 to cease their efforts, but finally they managed to wreck the building, there | by preventing the flames from spread | ing to the warehouse of B. F. Bill ingsley Had the flames reached the
 Billingsley warehouse they would have wiped out all the buildings on
 that side of the tracks, including
 the lumber yard, Goodspeed's black smith shop and residence.
 The Greenlee County Motor com pany, occupying the building to the
 right of the restaurant had miracu[
 ous escape from destruction, the
 roof having caught afire about a
 dozen times. This is also true of
 the meat market of Tom Windham
 and the Duncan hotel. There was
 a high wind blowing at the time of ! the fire. but the big trees seemed to break the wind. The trees were
 ahlaze at various times but forum ately did not cause the buildings
 nearby to fall prey to the flames.
 All the effects in the various build ] ings in that portion of the town
 were carried to places of safety for i it appeared for time that the en- i tire section was doomed to destruc- | tion.
 ! Mr. Stewards loss was about s2.000 with no insurance. He was ! fortunate in saving the material he had in storage in the frame building adjoining his restaurant, the fire i fighters giving their attention first i to saving the contents of that build 1 ing.
 ] MT Stewart is at loss to account i for. the origin of the fire. He had ! been at his place of business until
 about 800 o'clock and had gone to l his home, where he was about half an
 hour when called by messenger
 who carried the news of his place being afire. When he had left the
 restaurant there was but little fire l in the range. but as this was the only ! fire in the place. the confia grafton
 must have started in some way from this source.
 l The building occupied by MT. l Stewart was one of the oldest in the town, being erected about B years ago. It was used as blacksmith shon in the early sos and later as
 a saloon and pool hall. The place
 was an old land mark of the town
 and it's presence will be missed by
 old timers
 ! The loss occasioned by the fire will total about s5,000, with no in-
 surance. due to the fact that insu- rance companies would not issue any i protection for any of the property
 in that vicinity. because of the great
 chances of fire in the frame buildings.

COLORED MOTHERS LEAGUE
TO MEET
Steps To Be Taken To Establish Day
Nursery For Colored Children

The regular monthly meeting of the
Mothers League will be held at AS
bury Methodist Episcopal Church,
West street. tonight at s O'Clock. An
urgent appeal is made to all women
of Annapolis and vicinity to come out
in large numbers.
Among the important things to be
considered are: Special work for De
fence Council, a Red Cross branch,
knitting classes and the launching of
a campaign for day nursery, plans
for which have been under considera-
ton by the League for several months,
but were subordinated by the imme-
date needs Of the drafted men.
The day nursery is a much needed
institution in Annapolis In as much
the committee has found cases where
older children are growing up in
ignorance because they must remain
at home to care for younger ones while
parents are out earning a livelihood,
and many instances where mothers
are handicapped because of little ones
who cannot be left alone; this, in
turn, proves a stumbling block in the
way of securing reliable help for
those whose financial status enables
them to employ help. 1t is readily
seen, therefore, that day nursery
would be wonderful benefit. not
alone to the colored people, but to the
community, and in that light we trust
all citizens will aid in the under
taking

SEEKS TO COLLECT
FEES OF HIS OFFICE
Land Commissioner shepherd Sues
To Recover On Claim
BE AIRING ON PENDING CASES
Decision by Local Circuit Court Will
Affect Suits Entered Against
Secretary of State.

Seeking mandamus proceedings 70
compel the Comptroller, Hugh A.
AcMullen, to pay him back fees on
money turned over to him amounting
to SLASH, Commissioner Of the
Land Office James S. shepherd has
iled in the Circuit Court here a suit
that will definitely decide whether his
office is entitled to a fee of one-fourth
the amounts collected in addition to
his salary. The termination of this
suit will automatically decide wheth-
err the Secretary OF State must return
fees collected since having been in
stalled in office.
Following a recent ruling by Attor-
ney General Albert c. Richie, on the
request of the Board OF Public Works,
that a Secretary of State is not en-
titled to fees in addition to his sal
airy, Mr.. Richie was asked to give
an opinion as to whether the Com
missioner of the Land Office is en-
titled TO receive a similar commits
sion. As a result of his ruling pro-
viding that the Commissioner is not
entitled to receive a fee, the Comp
troller refused to pay Mr. Shepherd
the amount which he claimed he was
entitled to according to law
A salary of 81 500 year for the
Commissioner of the Land Office is
fixed by the Maryland Constitution.
In addition, an Act of the Legislature
provides that all fees collected by
the Commissioner shall be turned
over to the Treasurer and then pro-
vides that the Treasurer on warrant
of the Comptroller will pay back to
the Commissioner of the Land ONCE
one-fourth of the fees collected.
The right OF the Legislature to in
crease the salary of the Commissioner
so provided in The Constitution is
question, and the Attorney General
has ruled that it is Illegal for the
Legislature to do so.
As a result of this decision the At
torney General was recently instruct
ed to file sQit for recovery of fees
collected by Secretary of State
Thomas w. Simmons, and two for
mer Secretaries. N. Winslow Williams
and Robert p. Graham. The suits
