REGRETS DEATH OF
TWO GOOD BILLS.
Senator Duvall Calls Attention
To Failure Of Ferry Mea5-
ure To Get Through.

Senator Frank NJ. Duvall this morn
ing called attention to two important
bills of more than usual interest to
Annapolis and Anne Arundel County
which were allowed to die i'm the
House during the concluding hours OF
the General Assembly These were
the compulsory labor bill for Anne
Arundel County and the measure pro-
viding for the construction of a State
ferry boat service between Annapolis
and Claiborne
The latter is probably the more inn
portant to Annapolis because Of the
business it would bring through the
town. The measure was offered in
the Senate by Senator Harrison Of
Worcester County, but was very ener-
getically worked for by Senator Du-
vail The two succeeded in forcing
the bill through the upper branch moi
withstanding some strong opposition.
The compulsory labor bill for the
county also met with some opposition
but was gotten through the Senate
after some difficulty.
Senator Duvall this morning ex-
pressed considerable regret over the
death of both these measures

PLAYED ON HIM?
Shipment OF Liquor Shipped To
Naval Officer Who Left Town
Last August
BROKEN BOTTLE CLUE.
Shipment Came From New York
And Is Now I'm The Custody
Of The Police OF
Annapolis.
Annapolis

Some one is playing a joke on a
naval officer or shipment of liquid
refreshments of the type which Secre-
tary of the Navy Daniels has recent
ly put the kibosh on has been a
mighty long time in transit and was
shipped before the aforesaid naval
officer left Annapolis way back in
August, 1917.
incidentally the shipment of liquor
was taken into custody" by Patrol
man John Holiday of the local police
force yesterday and is now locked
up in the city police station Patrol
man Holiday was acting for L. s.
Deputy Marshal \. J. Stinchcomb in
making the pinch.
In view of the fact that the officer
to whom the shipment of contrabrand
booze was consigned is not and has
not been in Annapolis for such a long
time, officials are inclined to discount
any charge of fragrant violations of
the regulations of the Navy Depart
ment
Having, ever since the Daniels bone
dry order went into effect in Annapo-
lis, kept a sharp lookout for viola
tions, the police had their suspicious
aroused over two cases which arrived
at the West street station of the
Washington. Baltimore and Annapo-
lis Electric Railway Company. When
his sense of smell yesterday told him
plainly that there was something in
those boxes which contained alcohol,
investigation.
Opening the boxes he found that the
odor which had confirmed his sus-
piciOns came from a bottle of liquor
which had evidently been broken in
transit. With the damaged bottle
were others of quantity and quality
sufficient to comfortably stock up
cellerette and provide the "makings"
for many a lively Cocktail party"
Shipping tags nailed to the tops
and bottoms of the boxes bore the
name of lieutenant- commander and
the address, annapolis, Md" They
also bear tags indicating that they
had come through as regular baggage
and not as freight, as the sending
point was given as the Pennsylvania
Station in New York City and desti-
nation Annapolis, Md, via the Anna
polls. Washington and Baltimore

The larger box of the two, about 20
inches square and on its top in heavy
black letters was the inscription,
Fragile, handle with extreme care"
The smaller box contained similar
injunctions, with the additional nota-
tion that it contained delicate instru-
ments'
Satisfied that at least someone had
violated the law, Patrolman Holiday
had the goods moved to the police sta
ton. In the meantime he reported the
matter to Deputy United States Mar
