Doctor Spencer said two or three
employees Of the institution were under
suspicion Of having brought drugs into
the institution. Most Of the dope, how

by visitors. Former prisoners who had
been cured often brought the drugs In,

FIRE AT GALLOWAYS
DESTROYS OYSTER HOUSE

The oyster packing house of Joseph
f. Smith, of Galloways. in the First
district, Anne Arundel county, was
completely destroyed by fire last
night. The loss is estimated at $4,000,
only partly covered by insurance.
Mr.. Smith. who has been in the oys-
ter packing business for over thirty
years. has his home about 700 yards
from the oyster house, and was there
when he was notified by a small
colored boy. who came running up at
about s O'clock telling Mr.. Smith his
oyster house was on fire.
Every effort was made to save the
plant, but the attmept was futile. The
origin of the fire is mystery, aseMr.
Smith said in Annapolis today and
stated there had been no fire at the
plant for over two weeks. 1t is
thought to have been the act of an in
cendiary, unless some one had been
smoking in the vicinity and a spark
from pipe or cigar caused the fire.
Mr.. Smith is one of the largest oys-
ter packers in the county, and his
trade was largely with Washington
dealers.
