f'cers who had search warrant. In
tho latter case Mr.. Garrett declared
the search warrant was defective and
eaid the Attorney Generals Depart
,nent go admitted. Mr.. Garrett stated
the warrant in this case was issued
against John Doe" and he held that
II was defective because II dld nor
properly locate or describe the prem
tees and he arsued that tho police act
ed improperly because they did not
arrest all the persons thereon. I've
presented copies of the testimony IN
both case. which were heard by Judge

BY ONLY FOUR VOTES
Chestertown Turns Down I'm.
provement Project at an
Exciting Election.

Special Dispatch to Every Evening
Chestertown, Md, May 16.--After
one OF the most spirited contests In
the history of the town the taxpayers,
at special election held yesterday,
decided against bonding the town for
$4,000 for Improvement Of streets and
highways by scant margin OF four
votes. The total poll was 425 votes,
the largest in the history OF Ches-
tertown, 214 being cast against the
bond issue and 20 In favor. One bal
lot was defective.
The election assumed the propor-
tons of real fight early in the day
and from the time the polls were
opened until 6 o'clock workers for
both sides used automobiles and every
other trducement to bring the tax
payers to the polls.
The decision against the bond issue
means there viii be no improvement
to the streets Of the town for two
years at least. except that which car
be made through the regular revenue
ACQUIRING from the present tax rate
of 70 cents on the 800. The annua,
revenue from iNlS source amounts tt
about $4,000. but little more than 49,.
| 600 being available for street improve
ment
! Many of. the conservative citizen.
! Of the town voted against the issu,
because they believed the present hare
times do not. justify such a large out
lay of money and because the i'm
preston had got abroad that the tow
is heavily in debt, which is far from
correct.
The present bonded Indebtedness o
the town amounts to about $4,000, bu
$4,000 of this sum represents the is
sue for the purchase of the waite

tural bloc. charging that "the most
jealous advocates" OF this system de-
sired It because they believed that by

"In effect" he said. they admit that
they are seeking rates 80 high rs to
be unpopular; that they are endeavor-'
ing not to represent the win OF the
people. but to fool the people"
Senator Cappcr predicted that the
real propaganda" for American valu-
alton was coming, despite the action
of the Senate finance committee in
abandoning it for the foreign valua-
tion. and that n would he launched by
those who desire excessively high
protective duties on manufactured ar
ticles." He added the ma nufa cturers
were not content with tariff rates that
would equalize their position in com
petition with foreign producers. but

bloc. that American valuation, If in
lcorporated i'm the present bill, woult
have the same economic and politica
effect as did the concealed protection
in the compensatory duties of SEIZED
uie X OF the Payne -Aldrich act. Presi
dent Taft was compelled TO state tha
schedule X of that tariff act was in
defensible.
"The opponents OF the bill we're abI
to attack II more successfully merel,
because the protection IL containei
was concealed. In the Same wa
American valuation, if Incorporated &
fhe present BILL would weaken the pc
sition Of the Republican party. ]

cessive amount of protection, whic
would be difficult to defend"
Senator Capper said American valu
alton might be properly resorted 10 i
order to meet unusual competitiv
$ situations as proposed in tho preser
