THREATENS LIVES
OF BOYS ON ENGINE
Without Fairgrounds Three
Wander Along Railway,
Dreaming of Future.

Out near 4th and Rhode Island ave-
nue. northeast a Star reporter re-
Gently found a group of youngsters
looking up the embankment at the
big engines as they go by. All want
ed to be locomotive engineers. They
felt q thrill as each big engine went
steaming by, putting and blowing
clouds Of smoke. There was VIII and
James and Ted and few others. But
they all were determined to run loco
motives when they grew up, as that
job seemed to thrill them.
There are no Fairgrounds in the vi
cinity. The little ones in their leisure
hours just amble round looking for
something to occupy their active and
alert minds. But they left their van
tage point, sorrowful over the fact
that there was a distance Of years to
keep them from that ambition. They
walked toward their respective homes
on Bryant, Adams and Ascot streets.
Their little minds were turning over
and over that ambition. 1t could not
be driven out, because there is no
Fairgrounds director near there to
guide their activities In wholesome
play.
Commander Dinky Engine.
But as they passed the big lot at
4th and Bryant streets, they spied q
little dinky engine setting on a Sec
ton Of track, left there by some con-
tractor. 1t was nice lot for a
playground. But right in that loco
motive the youngsters saw chance
to realize their youthful ambitions
and forthwith Communicated the en-
CINE. They had seen the locomotive
engineer sitting easily in his seat in
! the cab making the big engine move
by just pulling handle. So they
would do. ---
They gathered all the loose wood
of the lot. Freddie ran home and
sneaked out a few matches. Paper
was obtained, and all was piled into
the firebox of the little engine. They
knew nothing about the power of
steam, and in their youthful igno-
make that engine go. In a few min
futes volumes Of smoke were pouring
out Of the little stack of the engine.

section that would have made any
destroyer captain proud. They pulled
all the handles and rods that they
thought would make it go. but It
wouldn't.
hot enough yet. You got to have 'em
hot, or they won't CO."
More wood was piled in and more
smoke piled out, but still she wouldn't
move. They decided, they hadn't
found the right handle, and between
rubbing smoke out Of their eyes and
coughing it out Of their throats, they
tried.

KEARNS WANTS GO
 WITH CARPENTER
Delnpsey's Manager Anxious to
 Have Some Bout Staged

New York, Jan. 2s-Jack Kearns, manager for Jack Dempsey, said to- day that Promoter Tex Rickard might be asked to stage a return match be- tween the worlds heavyweight box ing champion and Georges Carpenter in Europe next summer.
 T have not approached Rickard," said Kea>es, "but the idea appeals to me as a way out of most unusual situation. Here I am with the best fighter in the world on my hands and I cannot find an opponent to get him in the ring with an opponent who appears to have enough chance to draw a paying crowd. At least that's the situation so far as matchmaking talk is concerned by promoters whose word and money is something tang ible to gamble on.
 "I know there has been a lot of talk in the newspapers about Dempsey meeting Wills Fulton, Brennan and others, but the point is that I have yet to have promoter come forward with a real offer for match with any of these men.
 Dempsey Is Fit.
 AS I have said dozen times Dempsey is ready to meet anyone who looks as though he would prove a real drawing card. The champion is in fine condition and could box a title match with two weeks training if necessary. He likes to box and is ready, and eager to get into the ring if suitable opponent can be found for him.
 q am going to be in New York for 8 week or ten days and hope to have Dempsey matched for at least one bout before I return to the coast. Right now l have no particular man in sight.
 T am going to see Tex Rickard and see if cannot interest him in another match for the champion. He may be able to suggest someone who looks like good drawing card.
 Might Go to Europe.
 1T believe that another bout be- tween Dempsey and Carpenter might go big abroad, but I would want to know that reliable and experienced promoter was going to handle the thousand and one details which make or break such match.
 "I shall certainly not do any busi- ness with foreign promoters until Rickard refuses to match Dempsey either here or abroad"
 Rickard declined to discuss the proposition other than to say that he would listen to any suggestion Kearns might offer.

Meeting House near West River, in
Anne Arundel County" The penalty
| on conviction was ten pounds current
| money of Maryland. one half to go
to the informer and the rest to the
use of the public school of the coun-
ty where such offense shall be COM
mitted." At the end of the act is
this eloquent and significant para
graph: Provided, that this act shall
not be construed to hinder any ordi-
nary keeper from selling liquors in
their respective dwelling house" An
Ordinary keeper" was a tavern
keeper.
There was a long act, 1715, 'prohib
iting the carrying of liquor to any
| Indian fort or town or within three
miles of such fort or town and SELL
/ ing same to any indian or Indians"
! There is a recital of many disorders
caused by drunken Indians. and the
penalty for violation of the statute
was fixed at 5000 pounds of tobacco
Toward the conclusion of the act one
finds that it was not necessary that
Indians should go dry. and that by
going outside OF the three-mile limit
Of their villages they could get
drink or SO. What follows is taken
from the statute: THAT if any person.
by himself or his servant. shall sell
to any Indian within the space of one
day more than one gallon of rum.
brandy. wine or spirit, or more than
five gallons of syder. perry, ounce
drink or strong beer. he shall be fined
5000 pounds of tobacco" One would
think that a Maryland Indian would
have been able to get along on one
gallon Of rum or five gallons of hard
cider or "quince-drink" per day.
Some time ago the Rambler pub
lished a list of kinds of money in
circulation in Maryland and the bull
lion value of this money in tobacco
The names of many forgotten coins
were in the list. In statute OF 17lo
regulating money current in the
province the Rambler comes upon the
following list:
"Sevil (Seville) Pieces of Sold
plate: ditto. new plate: Mexico Pieces
Of 8; Pillar Pieces of s: Peru Pieces
of 8. old plate; Cross Dollars: Duca-
toons of Flanders: Ecus or Silver
Lewis Of France; Crusadores of Portu
gal; Three Glider Pieces of Holland
and Old Rix Dollars OF the Empire"
The Rambler hopes you have not
oversight yourself while reading these
things found in the old statute books
of Maryland. He promises that he has
on hand many more curious laws and
an ample supply Of old houses. burial

Huge Mold for Guns.

MOT SO long ago one of the great
IN steel companies turned out the
largest ingot mold ever seen. 1t Is
octagonal in shape. fifteen feet seven
inches high, with an average inside
diameter of ninety-one and one-halt
inches. The thickness varies from
fifteen to twenty inches. The mold
was used in casting the 900. o0o-pcuno
steel ingots from which our sixteen
inch and eighteen-inch guns are
forged.
The Bessemer iron for the mold
was melted in three large open-hearth
steel furnaces and suspended in three
ladies over the mold at one time. The
molten contents then mingled in
trough or runner. SO that the iron
was thoroughly mixed before it en-
tered the mold. 1t took 100000
pounds of iron to pour the casting.
After the mold was thoroughly cooled
two 1oo-ton cranes lifted it from the
sand pit. ...a.

This law was passed during the ad.
ministrafion of the Royal Gov. John
Hart. during whose term of Office and
two years before the passage of the
act just quoted all Catholics in Mary
land were DISTINGUISHED. You prob
ably caught the phrase "or any In

who were generally described as
Servants" with a capital IS" or sin
dented servants" or 'indentured serv-
ants" were sometimes classed as
slaves.
You. will find in a number Of the
old laws the phrase negroes and
other slaves" The Rambler thinks
that Indian and white slaves were
meant. 1928 there was an act ito
punish blasphemers, swearers, drunk
ards and Sabbath breakers" and Ito
prevent the tumultous meetings and
other Irregularities of negroes and
other slaves" One of the purposes
Of that act was to prevent the meet
ing Of such in great numbers on the
Sabbath and other holy days, and to
keep horses, cattle and hogs of their
own" Here seems to be another bit

and unfortunate classes. 1t seems
strange and hard to us now that leg

we love so well could pass a law for
bidding another man to own a COW
or hog. There is repetition in this

act of the phrase negroes and other
slaves" 1t is also provided that "if
it shall happen at any time that any
negro or other slave shall strike any
white person, such offender shall be
cropt." ''Cropt" meant that the ears
should be cropped" or clipped.
Whether 1t meant that they should
be clipped off or that a part of the
ear should be clipped the Rambler
does not know, but he believes that
the meaning was that the ears should
be cut off.
THERE were efforts in 1925 to re-
strict the liquor trade, that the
Quakers might worship in peace. and
in 17l5 there was a very mild and
gentle effort to discourage liquor
traffic with Indians. The act of 1928
was IAN Act to punish whatsoever
shall presume either to set up booth
or sell or dispense any liquor or other
matter or thing whatever, either by
land or water. within one mile OF

acted, etc. that all female mulattoes
born of white women and all free
negro women of the age of sixteen

Among the statutes of 1711 is one
which is apt to give us the impress
sion that the public which approved
it and the legislators who voted for
it had not at that time become sat-
urated with the doctrine of the equal
ity of men. 1t follows:

latto slave, free negro or mulatto
