HARD COAL OUTLOOK
EXTREMELY SERIOUS
Householders Can Expect But so
Per Cent Of Quota BY
Midwinter
RECEIPTS FALLING OFF

Realizing that the coal situation. es-
pecially as regards domestic consumers
of anthracite, is extremely serious,
every effort is being made to increase
the production of both domestic and
steam coal. Even with greatly increas.
ed production and expedited handling,
Marylanders can hardly expect to get
more than so perc ent. of their quota
before the middle of winter.
Receipts have fallen steadily the
past few months, owing to the move
ment for coal to New England and
Great Lakes ports, which will be froz-
en- up early in the winter, the July
figures showing only 50,514 tons of an
thracite received there last month.
This is loss of more than 5000 tons
over the previous month. The August
shipments are coming in faster
Mine records reported by the Ma
tional Fuel Administration show an
improvement in production, 1.640, ,044
gross tons being produced in the an
thracite regions for the week ending
August 10, as against 1.5S9,454 gross
tons produced during the same period
last year OF the weeks production
this year. 1,0SS,969 tons were domestic
coal and 51,075 tons steam coal.

SCHOOL BOND ACT
is THOUGHT NO GOOD
Bill Providing For improvements
To School Houses In Anne
Arundel Imperfect
MAY KILL BOND ISSUE

Twenty-Five thousand dollars worth
of Anne Arundel County school bonds,
authorized by the last General Assemb-
ly, in two bills and depended upon TO
finance the seriously needed enlarge
ment of the public educational facili-
ties of the county. may never be sold
because of the defective manner in
which the bills were drawn. One of
the measures, fathered by Senator
Frank NJ. Duvall, was started on its
apparently Intellectual career in the
Senate, while the other was put in the
House of Delegates by Delegate Rogers
of the Eighth District.
The defect in the bill has come to
light with the plans which had been
started for advertising the bonds for
sale. 1t was then discovered that
while the title THE Board of School
Commissioners" was abandoned over
two years ago and the title County
Board of Education" substituted, the
bill authorizes the sale of the bonds
does not provide they shall be issued
by the County Board of Education" ;"
but by the school Commissioners"
As there is now no board of school
commissioners legally recognized un-
der that title, serious question as to
the ability of the Board of Education
to float its two bond issues has arisen,

PROPOSED TAX WOULD
CLOSE ALL SALOONS
Prices Of Drinks To Double,
Which Would Practically
Mean A Dry Nation
SOFT DRINKS JUMP, TOO

/ With the reassembling of Congress
4 yesterday the drys plan to insist upon
early consideration of the food bill,
carrying with it the prohibition of the
sale Of liquor for the duration of the
war. II is possible this may be side
/ tracked to consider the new draft bill,
/ the passage of which the administra-
tion is urging, but whether prohibi-
tion is made mandatory or not, there
is little doubt of 1t coming TO pass. if
the revenue bill, as proposed. lis en-
acted into law.
A tax of IS on a gallon of whisky and
the doubling of the tax on beer would
put three-fOurths of the saloons out of
business. fop Notwithstanding the great
/ increase in wages, the average work
ingman will not feel inclined to pay
as much as so cents for a drink of
whisky or as much as Is cents for a
glass of beer. AS a matter of fact, only
those who can afford TO lay in a sup
ply of liquor before the additional tax
is imposed may continue to enjoy their
tipple without running the risk of GO
ing into bankruptcy.
There is no way for dealers to es-
cape from the tax. Even though with
drawn from bond before the act be-
comes effective, the government will
follow the spirits to the buyer and
levy a floor tax equal to the amount
imposed. The only possessor who can
escape this is the consumer who has
laid in a supply for personal use and
salted it away.
One of the leading restaurateurs in
Baltimore city made the statement on
Saturday that he was ready to quit if
a prohibitive tax was imposed.
The dispensers of soft drinks are
continually jumping their prices and
are getting them while the weather is
warm. Some of the leading drug stores
have cut out all five-cent drinks and
are now charging 10 cents for plain
soda, vichy and other waters, which at
this rate yield anywhere from 600 to
700 per cent. The less pretentious es-
tablishments are still content to sell
at a nickel a glass

ANNEXATION APPEAL
FINALLY ABANDONED
County Commissioners Today
Accepted The Opinion Of
Counsellor Melvin
RESCIND FIRST ORDER

The Anne Arundel County Commits
sioners will not carry an appeal to the
United States Courts in their effort to
override the unanimous opinion of the
Court of Appeals of Maryland, which
sustained the Annexation Act. They
so determined at their weekly meeting
today.
Two weeks ago the board passed
resolution instructing President
James A. Walton to take the neces-
sary steps" to carry the questions in
volved to the Federal Courts for ad-
Indication. Then last week, Mr..
Ridgely p Melvin, counsellor, to
the Board, filed with the mem
bers an opinion in which he concurred
with the opinion given by T. Scott
Offutt to the Baltimore Commissioners
to the effect that as commissioners
there was not any ground on which
an appeal to the Federal Tribunals
could be taken The local commission
ers today accepted and adopted this
opinion of Mr.. Melvin's and rescinded
their former order directing an ap-

SCHOOL TANGLE is
IN ANNEXATION ACT
How win The Children just Outside
Area Taken Into City Get Their
Education Now

Another annexation tangle, which
will need some adjusting, was called
to the attention of the Anne Arundel
County Commissioners today. This
involved the question of future edu-
cation of the children living not i'm
mediately in but just outside of the
annexed area of the Fifth District of
the county. These children have been
attending the grammar and high
schools at Brooklyn and Curtis Bay.
Other children of the neighborhood
have been going into Baltimore daily
across the old Light street bridge get
ting their education there in the city
schools. In every case of this sort,
however. the children's parents We're
compelled to pay the City School au-
thorities for their children's educa-
ton. Now the question has been
raised whether or not the city will
apply the same rule. If it does large
numbers of children, whose parents
are too poor to pay will have TO give
up, for some time, their education, be-
cause there are no advanced Anne
Arundel county schools nearby which
they can attend.

FIRST MILESTONE
IS NOW PASSED
IN THE PRIMARY
Only Democratic Contest Is In
Fifth District Between Du-
vail And Riggles
REPUBLICAN CONTESTS
ARE CENTERED IN CITY
Price Has Hard Fight On His
Hands In The Eastern
Shore District

The first milestone i'm the routine of
the Congressional primary election
fight was passed last night with the
closing of the lists for candidtes for
nominations as standard bearers Of the
two major parties. One of the view
contests in the state. which will force
the expense of holding an election, is
in the Southern Maryland District
democracy. where Frank NJ. Duvall of
St. Margaret's. this county, is being
opposed by John II. Riggles, of Prince
Georges.
Having the organization forces back
of him, while his opponent is appar-
emily only making a play for the labor
wing of the party, Senator Duvall is
giving himself but little concern. and
il is very generally conceded that he
will walk away with the nomination.
However, the republicans are claiming
that in view of the steadfast support
Congressman Mudd, has given Presi-
dent Wilson. and the Democratic War
Administration there will be a differ
ent tale to tell in the general election
in November Senator Duvall is per
fectly confident. apparently of his
ability to put the Fifth back into the
democratic column. and If necessary
offset the danger of the loss of demo
cratic member of the lower House
from Maryland This loss, if IL actual
ly occurs, is looked TO be most likely
in the First or Eastern Shore District.
The outlook. from a Republican
standpoint. is much more promising
in the First district than in any other
in the state, yet up to this time only
one candidate has ventured to declare
himself. The opposition to Mr.. Price
is very bitter and if any ginger is put
into a campaign back of a strong can
didate, the Republicans win come very
near gaining the congressman from
there, in the opinion of many far
sighted politicians of the state.
With the withdrawal of Mr. Loden
from the field, both Messrs. Coady and
Linthicum will have a clear field in
the city. Indeed there is no indica-
tion of opposition in any of the dis
tricts except in the fifth, where Rig
giles and Senator Duvall are contest
ing AS little or no interest is taken
in this fight, IL being taken for grant
ed that Congressman Mudd will be re-
turned, the Democrats will simply
mark time until the general election.
Singularly enough the fighting is
centered this year in the two Demo
cratic strongholds in Baltimore city
and this is confined to Republicans.
The lists in the Third district, where
two candidates have announced them
selves. are closed. none other having
been mentioned in connection with the
nomination, but there is still a prob
ability Of one or possibly two trying
their luck in the Fourth district.
Just why there should be a multi
plicity of candidates in'the city and a
shortage elsewhere. the leaders are at
a loss to explain. No one has as yet
come to the front in the Second dis
trict and if no candidate appears to-
day the State Central Committee will
have TO find one, later on.
