few days for the purpose of waiting

day and Capt. Frank O'Neill. who
admitted he was from the Old Bav

a good time.
Lincoln is a dry town, but the
captain had found convivial friends

Somebody objected to the loud man
ner in which the captain was talk

postulated with him kindly. was
very emphatically told to go to
some warm climate. Then the po
lice were called.
However, before the minions OF
the law arrived, the captain had fin
ished his luncheon and had gone
to the sidewalk in front of the ho-
tel in search of fresh air and d.
version. but was accompanied by his
conversation which, was at times
more forcible than elegant.
Two big minions of the law ar
rived and proceeded to invite the
captain to take a walk. Just at this

new STATUTES
Recommendations Made in
Answer to Letter From Gov.
ernor-eIect McKeIvie to
Farmers Organizations.

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 29-(Special,)
In answer to Governor elect Nc
kelvie's request to the farm organ
nations OF the state, the executive
committee OF the National Nonpar-
tisan league OF Nebraska has SUBJ
mitted proposed legislative pro-
gram in which they recommend a
number OF things.
They say that not even in time
OF war has the government been
able to check the ''inordinate greed
and bare-faced fraud OF the spec
ulators in the necessities of life, and
give, as a remedy, the state owner
ship of one or more -four mills,
creameries, beet sugar factories.
terminal elevators, stock yards,
packing houses and cold storage
plants. They also recommend some
form of rural credit banks. run by
the government, and operated at
cost. ,.
Taxation Wrong.
They say that under the present
system OF taxation the cost OF the
government falls on those least able
to pay, whereas this cost should be
raised largely from taxes on excess
profits and incomes, inheritances
and unearned COMMUNICATED
values. They also say that the
amount of land which any one PEI
son or association or corporation
may own should be limited, depend
ing on the kind of land and tie
value of it,
They say that all possible leais-
lative encouragement should be
given to the cooperation of farm
ers for various purposes and that
all associations of this kind should
be exempt from the state occupa-
ton tax.
Free Employment Bureaus.
They want the state to cooperate
with the federal government to
maintain free employment bureaus.
and say that in order to regulate
the amount Of surplus labor the
abolition OF the contract system OF
public work is necessary.
They suggest that, since the loss
of crops by hail is not only loss
to the owner but to the entire COM
munity, state hail insurance should
be maintained by tax of few
cents per acre on all land
Federal ownership of telephone
and telegraph lines. state hog
cholera syrum plant, and the plac-
ing OF the administration of the
safe and county affairs on an eff
cheney basis by wedding out all un-
necessary boards and commissions
by the pacing of all employees under
civil service is also recommended.

SENATOR HARRISON
SAYS FRUIT IS SAFE.
Gentleman From Worcester. "
Who Is Some Fruit Grower
Himself, Is Optimistic.

Senator Orlando Harrison, one of
The most extensive fruitgrowers and
nurserymen in Maryland, after an in
speCtion of the apple and peach trees
in Western Maryland, reports the
outlook as to a full crop as promising
in that as well as in other sections.
Senator Harrison says:
In spite of the excessive cold
weather. the prospects for heavy
apple crop in Maryland and the East
crn States is promising. On the East
ern Shore the zero weather has not
injured the apple buds. The pros
poets were never quite so good for
full crop of early apples, as well as
winter apples. Peaches are promis-
ing. especially the white varieties.
The apple crop looks god in Western
MARYLAND and West Virginia Some
of the older peach orchards of the
yellow fruit will be light. from the
lack of vitality on account of age and
extreme cold weather. Some report
only about so per cent. of the buds
now alive. Even if % per cent of
that amount is held. the fruit will be
Of better grade and save in thinning.
The white fruit shows up very much
better and prospects are favorable.

ANNEXATIONISTS
ARE GIVEN JOLT.
Baltimore And Anne Arundel
Counties Intend Testing
Prohibitions Good Faith.
WOULD DRY UP CITY.
Where Bennett And { aer Dry
Senators Will Lana On
Proposition Is Worrying
Citv


After laying plans for a consistent
appeal to the Governor for the eXer-
else of his executive veto, and today
plannig something of a surprise in an
other line, the anti-AnneXationists in
the Senate led by Senators Duvall Of
Anne Arundel. and Allen, of Balti-
more county, have the city people
worried Notwithstanding the social
ed strong position the Annexation fro
ces are in.
Although no confirmation for publi-
cation could be obtained before the
Senate went into session it was per
sistently reported about the State
House that one of the Senators op-
posed to the city's bill would offer an
amendment to the annexation meas
ure under the provisions of which Bal
timore city would be made dry. Ap-
parently the anti-AnneXatiOnists are
counting upon this move to defeat the
bill to gain votes of the dry Senators
who are in the majority.
1t is obvious that such an amend
ment offered in the Senate will place
tight place. Bennett, of Wicomico,
Harrison, of Worcester, Crothers, of
Cecil, are three of the democrats who
are now voting with the city who may
find it very difficult to square their
constitutional dryness with a vote
against the amendment 1t can be very
consistently argued by the anti-anneX-
...t-
probably the single and only one that
might be supported and concurred in
by the House.
However, whatever may be the out
come along this particular line it now
seems certain that the final fight will
be had on the city's grab scheme be-
fore final adjournment for this legis-
latiYe day is taken. There was as
soon as the Senate convened today an
argument as to whether under the
head of unfinished business the Annex
alton bill would be Immediately taken
up. However, the determination was
finally reached to go into the regular
routine including the production of
bills and that the annexation bill
WOuld come up later.
Along the line of the effort to have
Governor Harrington veto the bill if
strong enough pressure is brought to
bear upon him it is felt that it will
take considerable influence to induce
the Governor to go so far as this in
his friendliness for and understand
ing of the injustice being done Balti-
omre and Anne Arundel counties by
the Greater Baltimore City Extension
Bill.
The form of petition to the Cover
nor sent out in blank calls attention
to the fact that the two counties most
vitality affected by the annexation plan
offered in good faith fair annexation
measure which was rejected by the
Senate.

a snag 1t has strenuous opposition
from some of the interests in the sec

affects. and there are Icing heard
whispers about the county and in the
corridors of the State House that
somebody" has made up a pool to
fight its passage.
The bill is now in the Senate
Temperance Committee. and il is an
derstood that Senator Norris. chair
man of this committee viii, with the
usual senatorial courtesy. defer to
Senator Duvall. of Anne Arundel, in
reporting the measure as it only af-
fects the latter's county.
There has already come to Annap-
oils a delegation of the best type of
citizenship from Brooklyn and Cur
tbs Bay strongly urging the passage
of the measure. This delegation was
headed by Mr. John H. Gies, and its
members brough along unusually
strong petitions from the section urg-
ing the prompt report of the bill and
its passage.
However. the opposition is still to
have its innings, and a hearing will
be held before Senator Duvall on
Tuesday afternoon OF next week at 3
O'Clock. The opponents of the bill are
understood to have retained former
Senator A. T. Brady to represent them
at this hearing. In the delegation
coming to oppose the measure will be

rather dangerous to a measure to
which there is opposition, particular
ly when the session is getting so close
TO it's end. When it is taken into
consideration that by the time Tues
day arrives fourteen days will have
elapsed, there will be seen the need
of action one way or another.
