Marine Private Pays Heavily
For Resisting Police Officer

Charged with disorderly conduct
and later resisting police officer in
the performance of his duties, Henry
Mall, private in the United States
Marine Corps, stationed at the Naval
Academy, was arrested between mid
night and l o'clock Sunday morning
by Patrolman William Curry, of the
City Police Department.
Mall was given a hearing Sunday
morning before Police Justice Charles
o. Dulin, as a result of which he was
assessed a combination fine, which
with costs amounted to a total of SIS,
This he subsequently paid and was
released. Mall, who is a powerfully
built man. it is stated, started the
trouble ball a-rolling in Main street
lunch room and afterwards continued
to act disorderly and boisterous in
the street He was aceosted by the
patrolman, and he resented the inter
ference of the officer. which forced
the latter to use his stick in order to
subdue the prisoner. A bluejacket,
it is said, also butt in the party,
struck Officer Curry blow behind
the ear, ran off and has not as yet
been apprehended.

Complain Of UncIeanIiness Of
State Legislative Chambers

One of the common complaints
about the State House is the unclean-
ly condition of both legislative cham
hers, especially in the House. Two
years ago, in the attempt to do away
with the expensive method of having
the chambers and corridors cleaned
by horde of political henchmen and
hangers-on, the law was changed so
that the cleaning might be done under
the direction of the superintendent Of
Public Buildings. 1t has certainly
been very badly done so far. Dele
gate Benson, having complained sew
eral times, announced on Thursday
night that he stood ready to support
any legislation which the majority
might propose looking toward the
House assuming control of the mat
ter of placing it in the hands of some
one who would attend to it, He de-
clared that the Delegates were living
in filth, and that it was dangerous to
their health

BRANDON MURDER CASE
TO COME UP WEDNESDAY,
In Baltimore Co. Court John Snow
den. CoIOred, To Answer To Helm
Gus Crime Committed Ia City
Last August.

Officials OF Anne Arundel County
have completed arrangements for the
trial of John Snowden, colored, ac-
cused of the murder Of Mrs Lottie
May Brandon, wife OF Valentine n.
Brandon, formerly employed as
clerk at the Naval Experiment Station
here. which will begin Wednesday be-
fore the Circuit Court for Baltimore
County, at Towson. A change Of
venue was granted by the Anne Arun-
del County Circuit Court
1t is likely the trial will extend two
or more days owing 10 the large num-
Der of witnesses to be examined. 1t
is said that the attorneys for the
prosecution and defense each viii cali
score or more. Snowden will be
taken from the county jail here early
on the morning of the day of his
trial
The accused negro has protested his
innocence, but the county officials feel
that the chain OF circumstantial evil
dence which has been woven about
him is sufficiently strong to secure a
conviction. A few days ago Snowden,
who is subject to the military draft,
filed out his QUESTIONABLE with the
aid of an attorney.
The murder was committed some
time on August last 1t was discoy-
cred by the husband of the dead wo-
man upon his return from work that
afternoon. The body Of Mrs Brandon,
partially clothed, was found in a big
splotch of blood on the bed in her
room. She had been struck on the
forehead with some instrument. Physi-
clans who examined the body said that
the young woman had been dead for
several hours. Baltimore City detec-
tives who investigated the case. as
well as police officials Of the city and
county, learned that Snowden was
seen coming out of the alleyway of
the Brandon home between II and II
o'clock on the morning of the murder.

led the United States and the
Allied Nations to urge upon the
sugar industry the adoption by
voluntary agreement Of the
original Hoover plan, under the
authority Of the Food Control
Act. passed August 10. 1917.
The cane-sugar refiners and the
beet-Sugar producers unanimously
agreed to the Hoover plan as
patriotic act in the interest of the
American people and as an aid to
the Allies.
This is the significance of the
appointment by the United States
Food administration Of the Inter-
national Sugar Com mittee to
which the Allies send representa-
tiveS for England, France, Italy
aud Canada, and TO which the
United States contributes three

Upon the success of the opera.

Committee under the directions Of

1t is an assurance that sugar.

creased In wholesale price.
Sugar will become stabilized In

tion and to cover the cost Of re.

The marketing of Domino Cane

Evening capital and Maryland gazette. (Annapolis, Md.) 1910-1922, 1918-01-21

This plan was favorably re-
ceived by the sugar refining in-
dustry, which had been on war
basis almost from the beginning
of the European War.
The war had brought the Allies
into the Cuban market, resulting
in severe domestic and interna-
tional competition with no in
creased supplies. Naturally
prices Of refined sugar, both to
the American public and to the
Allies, rose under this forced draft.
Domestic sugar refinerS. since
the outbreak Of the European War
not only have SafeSuarded the
United States supply but have
maintained the lowest sugar prices
in the world.
This brilliant record is due
largely TO the fact that sugar re-
filming is IN the hands Of large
business units, with an excess of
refining capacity sufficient to sup
ply all domestic needs. and SO far
all demands Of foreign countries.
In the sprins Of 1917 there was
q serious attempt at the disor-
sanitation Of the sugar refining
industry. following a long series
Of attempts at destruction OF sugar
ships.
Accompanying these incidents
were widely circulated sensa-
tional reports predicting a sugar
famine and sugar shortage, caus-
ing widespread apprehension.
Atthat time. evenwith the aSSur-
ance of ample supplies on hand,
retail sugar prices rose In some
sections 20 90 and Is cents a pound.
The efforts OF the american
SUGAR Refining Company 70 allay
public alarm, To check boarding,
to accept price less than that
which it could easily have Sc
cured. and to distribute its prod
uct fairly and evenly among the
trade. were of real public service.
While there were great supplies
of sugar In far-away Java which
ordinarily would have gone to
Europe, yet the necessity for saw
ing ships became SO great that
Europe turned to Cuba for even
larger supplies than previously.
1t takes cargo ship 80 days to
make round trip between Eng
land and Java. while a round trip
between England and Cuba can
be made In SO days.
Under these circumstances
and seemingly to avoid paying
proposed United States war taxes
on refined sugar the European
Allies purchased in Cuba the
sugar which ordinarily would
have come to the United States
in the fall months.
These conditions. and especial
