PINCHED IN TOWN
Moses Wells And Tom kimmel Nab
bed By PatrOlman John Holiday
This Morning

Through the vigilance of Patrolman
John Holiday, of the city police force,
two gentlemen of color, each bearing
a bottle of 'red eye" fell afoul of the
anti-drinking, anti-transportation of
booze order of Secretary Of the Navy
Daniels this morning. Probably be-
cause of the known growing activities
fthe authorities on night trains Sat-
urdays, and through the anti-sale aft
er six o'clock in Baltimore law, the
two colored men changed the usual
schedule and arrived in Annapolis over
the W., B. and A Electric Line on the
car arriving at S.35 this morning. How
ever, their keenness came to naught,
as they we're nabbed by Patrolman
Holiday as soon as they reached town.
They are Tom Kimmel, and Moses
Wells. Both will be taken to Balti-
more and turned over to the United
States authorities.
