sinners" At Stony Run,
This County
MEN FLEE AMID SHOTS

Anne Arundel moonshiners were
converted TO the gospel of good roads
yesterday when a mud hole on a de-
tour from the Washington Boulevard
caused the seizure of the biggest
moonshining outfit that the prohibi-
tion agents have yet run across in
Maryland. The seizure was made in
the swamp near Stony Run, upper
county, and consisted OF the follow
ing items:
Three hundred and fifty gallons
of corn whisky.
One 2OO-horsepower boiler in
operation.
One 1,000-gallon still in opera
tion.
7 Five thousand gallons of mash.
Four hundred pounds of corn
meal
Eighteen hundred pounds of
sugar.
One truck
One touring car.
The shades, both of them, of Sher-
lock Holmes first became active when
a party of dry agents, touring the
Washington Boulevard, observed a
Ford truck, heavily laden, stuck in
the mud.
The dry agents hoped to the task
of releasing the truck and one OF
them lifted the tarpaulin which COW
cred the load to ascertain exactly
what 1t was that made it so heavy
He saw hundred pound bags of sugar
The driver of the truck, after
thanking his benefactors, proceeded
merr'ly on his way, giving no thought
to what was riding in his wake. The
dry agents trailed.
At the tract OF land known as the
Brown Estate. which is largely
swamp, near Stony Run, the truck
turned into the swamp and disappear
ed. The dry agents followed with
high hopes of capturing the whole
gang at work. Dogs, however, gave
them away and when they dashed into
the savannah in which the distillery
had been set up, they were met by a
volley of shots.
The agents returned the shots and
the moonshiners disappeared into the
swamp, where they became lost to
everyone but themselves. 1t is be-
lieved that they circled back through
the underground and caught train
for Baltimore.

the past year or two has a ladies'
auxiliary of any lodge had a good
hold among the lodges of this city.

strong organization here, composed of
relatives of Masons. The Rebekah is
a similar order. but in addition to the
membership being limited to relatives

NAVY GRID TEAM GETS
TWO STRONG RECRUITS

Naval Academy football gained its
first important recruits from the new
fourth class in Royce Flippen, of
Somerset. KY, and Ward. of Marietta,
Ohio. Flippen is more prominent
than Ward. He was the regular CEN
ter of Center College football team
last year, and it is thought that he
will be just the man to fill the gap
left vacant by Captain Larson, who
recently graduated. Flippen does not
weigh over It's pounds, but looks very
strong and active, and his work with
the Praying Colonels" makes him a
valuable man for the midshipmen.
At Marietta College last year Ward
occupied line position.

Political opinion is being regis

Mr.. Gompers said. This opinion
is expressing itself as rapidly as
opportunity offers. The old guard,
as it is called, has just been beaten
in Nebraska. Congressman Albert
W. Jefferis, who was defeated for
the nomination for United States
senator in that state, was possess
ed OF good legislative record, but
he went into the campaign arm-in-
arm with the policies of the presi.
dent, which are being so sadly dis
played in the great industrial crisis
The people, including the workers
of Nebraska, voted down these poI'
ic;es. Ordinarily, Mr.. Jefferi:

TREES DIE AT
STARVED ROCK
Ottawa Citizens Complain Tha,
Park Is Neglected-Demand
That Trails Be Kept Up

Ottawa, ILL.,, July 20.-Beautiful
trees in the state park at Starved
Rock are either dying or topping
over from their roots being exposed
by heavy rains. according to COM
plant of citizens of Ottawa who
have recently visited the park.
One after another the trees are
dying, it is said, and those who
have called attention to the condi-
tion state that unless something is
done in few years the only foliage
left will be the underbrush and .
few trees that are rooted in crew
ices which cannot be reached. Pic
lures of Starved Rock taken %
years ago compared with those Of
the present show that the summit
of the rock is being devastated, it is
said. -
The trails in the park, too, are
breaking down, the compliments
say. s.-~
Were the original trails taken
care off,, says the Ottawa Free
Trader Journal" and the slipping
and washing stopped, as could
very easily be done by burying a
few old tree trunks on the own
side or the judicious use of Vttle
concrete, there would be little
temptation to start new trails and
consequently new slides. The care
of these trails or paths would only
be really necessary in the immedi-
ate vicinity of the rock, where the
crowds Of climbers are most num-
erous. With several miles to Eek
plore" up and down the river inside
the park grounds, the damage from
this source in other parts of the
park would be insignificant, but
even there a little thoughtful worl
would help much to preserve the
beauties of the park for future gen
erations."
