ANOTHER WHISKEY
 CACHE IS FOUND
 BY THE OFFICERS

Nineteen cases of whiskcy the quart bottles all being in gunny sacks, were unearthed this forenoon by United States Deputy Marshal Evans and Chief of Police Bob Guest. The cache was found beneath a cabin but the occupant of the cabin is not under any suspicion. The officers know that the cache is another one belonging to John Olson who was arrested recent ly, tried and sentenced to one year in prison.
 Another charge will be placed against Olson besides that for boot logging.

Olson had soaked the stamps off of regulation bottles of whiskey and then placed them on whiskey of his own manufacture.
 Deputy Marshal Evans stated to- day that the second charge would be placed immediately against Olson.

The Poet Laureate Of
Annapolis EaYors Annexation

To anyone who was in the County
Commissioners Office and heard the
statements OF Messrs. James S. Smith,
James II. Fowler and other prominent
citizens. the impression would be
made that home missions are as inn
portant as foreign. The following
stanzas are suited to the old familiar
tune OF From Greenland's Icy Noun
tains, though not the words:
From Anne Arundel County
There comes a cry for aid,
Fifth District on its bounty.
A burden heavy laid;
The taxes are enormous,
Rents high to an extreme
"Gcod Lord, they Will absorb US"
The people hoarsely scream.
The Sunday violations
Have often been discussed
In court and congregation
And how things there are mussed,
But when the brave Chief Irwin
Did such mean things denounce
And try to curb the great sin
He got the grandest bounce.
Just view the great procession,
Well-nigh a mile in length,
Attending the courts session;
For crimes Fifth shows its strength
Therere robberies, rape and murder
Expensive to be tried,
And oft it makes one shudder
The way the laws defied.
The courts are Of long session.
Each juror three per day,
And oft they've made confession,
The Fifth District makes them stay;
Each witness gets a dollar
For each day that they come,
Then they go home and holler-
More money to buy rum.
To keep the Fifth a-going
Costs more than ali receipts,
And it is always sowing
The tares among the wheat;
For idle men are having
Rehearsals of base crimes,
And thus they feel like swearing
To keep up with such times.
One great sin of omission
is men to fail to vote,
Thus issue a commission
Corrupted graft to fout.
Wise soIons, do have pity
On our downtrodden land,
Vote that our grand old city
OF Baltimore expand
And crush out the lawlessness of the
Fifth District of Anne Arundel
County.
