Blue Law Cases
Boy With Pies for Shipbuilders Ar

Judge.

Baltimore, Dec. Sunday blue
laws" written on the Maryland
statute books almost two centuries
ago, suffered a jolt today when the
police magistrates postponed until
February the hearing Of fifty-six
cases of alleged violations OF these
old laws.
Two hundred arrests and sum-
monses for more than 400 other
alleged violators marked the first
days rigid enforcement by the po-
lice of the archaic statutes. Police
stations were crowded with persons
arrested and witnesses against
them.
Justice Schroeder said he wanted
to wait until some definite ruling
had been made on the laws before
he disposed of the cases. BY Feb
ruary 1. he said. the present grand
jury will be out and the succeed
ing grand jury will have taken ac-
tion to indicate its attitude toward
continuing the prosecution of Of
tenders.
BY that time. too. the ~
court. or possibly the court of sp-
peals. will have passed on a case
to test the law.

On Treaty Wrapped
In Complete Mystery"
House Takes Up Number
Of Minor Bills.

= Congress met yesterday after a
brief recess to begin its regular
long session. but little business was
transacted pending receipt Of the
Presidents message. which will be
read in both Houses today.
The Senate was in session for
only twenty pinutes and the only
business transacted was adoption OF
the usual resolution fixing IL
O'Clock as the time of meeting and
providing for committees to notify
the President and the House that
the Senate was in session. No bills
or resolutions were introduced.
Railroad Bill Up Today.
Railroad legislation probably will

where the Cummins bill is the un-
finished business.
The House was in session several
hours and many minor bills were
introduced and numerous reports
from executive departments were
received
In contrast to the stormy days
that marHed the end of the extra
session ten days ago, the first day
Of the regular session was calm.
There was a decided tendency to
mark time on the treaty in the SEN
ate Mary Senators are out of the
city and lits.e prryress zts expected
until most OF these return. Several
mild reseryationists are absent and
as this group hold the balance of
ipower in the treaty fight, both
sides are waiting on them
wait Pre.Ident's Message.
Interest last night centered in
President Wilson's annual message.
Secretary Tumu!ty informed the spe-
cial delegation from the Capitol that
IL would be sent up at noon today.
President Wilson's future course on
the treaty is wrapped in complete
mystery. Some believed he would
withdraw it from the Senate and re-
submit it with a message urging
prompt action. while others be-
lieved he would take no action and
let the Senate work out its own So
luton without interference from the
White House.
Glass to Take Oath Today.
Considerable comment was heard
around the Capitol over the unsuc-
cessfuI efforts of Senator Hitchcock
TO see either the President or his
secretary Saturday. One report in
general circulation was that Senator
Hitchcock is not in favor at the
White House. and that plans are be-
ing laid to make Senator Underwood.
Alabama, Senate minority leader to
NIL the place OF the late Senator Mar
tin. Virginia. Senator Hitchcock had
little to say regarding the treaty
yesterday and the impression was
gained that Senator Hitchcock will
take little active part in the treaty
fight until after the Democratic
caucus next Saturday.
Carter Glass, Secretary of the
Treasury. and recently appointed
Senator from Virginia to fill Sena-
tor Martins seat, is expected to take
his oath today. His credentials ar
rived at the Capitol late yesterday
afternoon.
