BLUES OF 1723 FAIL ID TAKE
 IN BALTIMORE

Baltimore, Dec. 2.-The attempt yesterday to enforce the Sunday blue laws of 1723. as ordered by the grand jury, did not result in Baltimore re- vert:ng to it's way of living 100 years ago. Druggists. confeCtioners and ci- gar dealers did their usual Sunday business. newsboys sold their papers and bootblacks worked at their stands.
 More than a hundred proprietors and employees were arrested for
 working on Sunday, keeping Justice Johannesen at the Central Police Court busy all day, but he dismissed several men who were brought be- fore him a second time for repeated disregard of the law. Five or six hundred more persons are to be sum moned on charge of selling on Sunday.
 The arrests covered all sorts of all legged offenses Several women were taken to the police station for selling pickles and chewing gum. One man was arrested for han1n1ering g-he had been driving nail at his home. Eff teen drivers of ice cream trucks, rep resentirg every company in the city, were arrested for working on Sun day.
 BaIancing Books: Arrested.
 While they were in police court their-5rucEls stood lined up at the curb in what seemed almost like a parade. Hyman Refman, who makes trousers, and Louis simon, rnanufac- turer of necllwear. were among those arrested-it was charged that they ] were balancing their account books. Both were dismissed.
 Attorneys for the ice cream dealers notified the police early in the day that the drivers go right ahead de 1 livering goods as soon as they were free of the police. and they did. All ! fifteen of those arrested were released on bail and resumed their deIiveries Garages remained closed. Automo- ! piles were on the streets all day ! however, evidently existing on SUD- l plies laid in Saturday. Barbers were ] arrested for working on Sunday. Will 1 liam s. Busick. assistant manager ot i the Casweu and New Howard Hotels ] was arrested for permitting the hote i shop to be open.

SpedkInS III the absence or state 1 Attorney Harry W. Nice, said: i 'The position of this office would ! be, if possible circumstances wouIt . permit if, to prosecute all such viola ] lions to the limit with the hope tha
 the public would be aroused to suffel l no longer and make every effort tt ! amend these laws, but we probab1, will not prosecute any of the case i that come up as a result of violation of these laws. for our docl1ets ar, crowded at the present time and i | there are any great number of tbes ! cases they will be set over for tn i January term.'
