nearby residents.
Metzerott road, connecting the Wash

points, deep mud or sand making the
going difficult. With the exception of a
few residents of that section, it is
stated, the road is used almost exclu-
sively by bootleggers, who on their way
to this city stop on a cleared place on
bottled goods from cartons in order to
conceal them from view.
Hear Shots Fired.
J. D. Berry and Albert Berry his
son, who work on DR.. Metzerott' 8
farm, recall having heard three re-
ports of pistol shots Monday evening.

the others. The younger Berry said
he noticed one car. in which was a
colored woman on the front seat with
the chauffeur. pass the house some
little time before he heard the first
shot. Several other cars passed. the
last being a gray car in which white
men were riding. Both said the gray
car was speeding faster than any they
had ever seen on the road. and behind
him was a Maryland traffic officer on
motor cycle. The latter was forced
to dismount on account of the condi-
ton of the road and the gray automo-
bile soon was out of sight.
1t is certain that the man who did
he shooting was at DR.. Metzerott' s
automobile for the purpose of steal

London Daily Mail Sees Way
to Honor the Rights of
Hollanders
By Associated Press.

London, July 5.-The Allies, ac-
cording to the Daily Mail, have re-
ceived assurances that the Dutch
government in the last resort. will
not refuse to surrender the former
German Emperor for trial.
The newspaper says hat the nee
essary formal objections will doubt
lessly be raised to maintain the
rights of Dutch sovereignty, but as
the demand for his person can be
made in the name of the League of
Nations, national rights will lot be
infringed and there is no doubt the
Dutch government will be quite
ready to get rid of the unwelcome
guest.
1t is not considered likely, the
Mail says, that the matter will come
before the Dutch courts despite GER
tain statements al The Hague.
The chief count in the former
Kaiser's indictment, the Mail under
stands, will be his action in causing
violation of Belgium and Luxem-
bourg. The proceedings will be con-
Quoted in English, but a translation
will De made into several languages
simultaneously.

ARRESTS FEW IN
CITY WITH HARD
LIQUORS BARRED
Chief of Police Thinks Dis
order and Crime Will De-
crease With Prohibition

"The buying of old John Barley
corn will undoubtedly serve to re-
duce the number of arrests in the
city" Chief of Police wetzel said to-
day. Few arrests on drunkenness
charges are expected by the Chief.
He believes arrests on other charges
will be reduced materially.
Chief Wetzel took occasion to make
these remarks and predictions in
speaking of the fact that no arrests,
other than those of two negroes on
~pick-pocket charges, were made yes
terday in sharp contrast to scores
made on the Fourth OF July during
past years. DRINKS taken into GUS
tody have often passed the score
mark. while many other persons. had
been taken into custody on disorder
ly practice, 1t was said at the police
station.
Although the number of intoxicated
persons locked up. had been averag-
ing from o u to five daily, according
to Chief Wetzel, not a single arrest
for drunkenness had been made by
the local police department since the
wartime prohibition measure became
effective on Monday. Disorderly
practice arrests. too. ave fallen off
to a large extent.
Joe" Demma. who operates the
police patrol during the daytime this
month, reports that not a single
wagon call has been received since
Wednesday,. The wagon, has, how
ever, been SEN out several times on
calls at night.
Attaches of the Harrisburg Hospit-
al were others who noticed different
results in consequence of the passing
of John B~arleycorn. Several persons
employed at the Hospital expressed
relief at coming to work and not
finding reports of persons injured in
automobile smashups.
Not a single patient was admitted
to any city hospital as the result of
any accident yesterday, although one
slight automobile wreck was report
ed on South Cameron street. This,
together with the fact that no seri-
Gus burns from fireworks, were re-
ported, is held by Hospital employees
to be largely the result of the pass
ing of many kinds of booze.
