is to be appointed to investigate charges that
the Talbot county branch of the Anti-Saloon
League violated the Maryland corrupt prac-
tees act
This action was taken after Delegate Col
Inns had introduced memorial submitted
more than "450 white citizens and taxpayers,
farmers, clergymen, professional and business
men" of the county.
The memorial stated that it has become
a matter of general comment that the polit-

League "are such as properly to make it sub

According to statement from Paris,
the treason trial of former Premier Joseph
Caillaux probably will be considerably
shortened by the decision of the high court
Of justice to eliminate matters referring
to the pre-war period. This also makes it
unnecessary to hold secret session of court
to consider the death warning Cailaux is
said to have sent to King Alphonso of Spain
during the Agadir crisis.
The spectators thus will be cheated of
their opportunity to hear testimony bearing
upon the killing of CASTOR Calmette, edi-
tor of LIE Figaro, by Nine. Cailaux few
months before the war began. M. Herbaux
who prosecuted Nine. Caillaux, will not be
called.
Caillaux, before the resumption of the
trial, expressed qualification over the de-
cision of the court. "It only would have
stirred up tragic memories that I have been
trying to forget he said.
