SATURDAY OFF DAY
FOR BOOTLEGGERS
Not One Arrest Made and
Police Anticipate Lessened
Activities Hereafter.

Decrease in activity of boot1eggers
was forecast last night by police de-
partment and court officials following
the imposition OF maximum penalties
last week upon q number Of convicted
Illicit liquor venders by Police Court
judges.
Out Of nine bootleggers who were
convicted last week Eve were given
the maximum penalty OF two years
Imprisonment The remainder were
sentenced to Jail for terms ranging
from six to eighteen months.
No Arrest Made.
Saturday night, usually the busiest
in the week for the liquor squads"
Of the various police stations be-
cause Of the discrimination of the
liquor peddlers to meet week end de-
mands, was dull last night Up to
late hour not one person had been
arrested for selling liquor. The po-
lice, however, did not give up their
vigilance.
Although there was a calm in the
liquor traffic yesterday, liquor vendors
made trips to Baltimore. Several score
bootleggers. each carrying valises,
were seen to board a Washington. Bal
timore and Annapolis electric line
train at 5:45 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, evidently bound for the Monu-
mental city. Police officers intimated
that they were probably storing their
supplies until the court became more
lenient with the convicted bootleggers.
Witnesses Prove Difficult.
Although the police are active in
making arrests of bootleggers they
are still somewhat handicapped be-
cause Of lack Of agents They are
also hindered in making cases against
the whisky pedd1ers because of inabil-
ity to get witnesses to testify in Po-
lice Court.
The police are usually able to find
many willing witnesses when making
arrests, When attempt is made to
summons them to court they cannot
be located. Several bootleggers al
ready have evaded the long arm of
the law because witnesses who were
to appear against them could not be
found after several months search.
Cases against them were nolle
pressed
However, the police department is
making every effort to locate wit

Valuation Now. a Contention.


The only question still in acute dis-
agreement among the factions OF con-
servationists and between them and the
owners Of capital who are expected to
develop the water power for Industrial
purposes Is the valuation OF the prop
erty at the end Of hfty-year license
term. The government proposes to use
the Interstate Commerce Commissions
method OF valuation, and some Of the
extreme conservationsts are opposed to
this.
Water power enterprises. It IL said, are
not as glitttTingly attractive to capitalists
as they were q number Of years ago, when
grants Of valuable water power sites
could be obtained In perpetuity and the
management could charge what it
pleased for the service. The grants are
now restricted and the public service
commission has como into existence to
control rates. Moreover. the margin Of
cost between water and steam power
has been growing less. partly through
improvements in steam engineering and
partly through more diffused use Of
electric power from single plant.
