Mr.. BOWERS CAR
STOLEN.
JOHN T. KING, OF BALTIMORE, The
THIEF, CAPTURED AFTER WILD RUN
TO ESCAPE-CAR BADLY DAMAGED

! John T. King, IS years old, was
arrested in Baltimore, for stealing the
large touring Stearns Knight car OF
Mr.. VIM. H. Bowers, Sunday night
and also on a robbery charge.
Mr.. Bowers lives on Liberty Heights
and PIT his machine in the garage
which is located in the front of his
residence. about 10 o'clock Sunday
night. About O'Clock Monday morn
ing State Policeman Duke, who
boards at Mr.. Bowers home, was call
ed to go to Buckeystown to help
search for young Gartrell, who is
wanted for the killing of Miss Jenkins
When officer Duke went for his
motorcycle, which was also kept in
the garage, he noticed that car was
gone and informed Mr.. Bowers. After
; rtelephoning around Mr.. Bowers was
called I'D from the Police Department
in Baltimore, stating that they had
his car.
King knew what he was doing as
he cut the wires on the magnetic so
that the Policeman Duke could not
follow him.
King confessed that he broke
open the garage and stole the automo-
bile. He said he was in this city and
started to walk home when passing
Mr.. Bowers garage he noticed it was
open. Entering he took the big car,
and after starting it with one of the
master keys found later on his poss-
ession. started for Baltimore.
This is how King slipped and Mr..
Bowers received his car.
AS Patrolman Woolner was pass
ing the Chelsea Pharmacy, 2200 North
Charles street, about $50 Monday
morning he noticed that the door was
wide open, and, stopping his motor
cycle, he saw three men dash through
it. Two of the men ran down Twenty
second street toward Maryland avenue,
while the third jumped into a waiting
automobile, started the machine and
sped down Charles street.
Patrolman Woolner jumped on his
motorcycle and, drawing his revolver
pursued. calling to the man to halt.
The latter paid no attention to the
warning, but at a mad speed rushed
down Charles street. Every t'lse Weol-
ner drew near, King would
crowd the policeman over against the
curb until he had to draw back. Final
ly Woolner fired several shots at
King, one passing through the side
wind shield, barely missing his head.
The chase ended in an alley near
Light and Lee streets, when lack OF
gasoline and a disabled engine stop
ped the bandit.
Mr. Bowers went for his car Monday
with the expectation of bringing it
back under it's own power, but when
he examined the motor he found two
piston rods broken and forced through
the crank case, making hole about 6
inches in diameter. and doing other
damage. The car was towed home. The
damage will amount to several hun
dred dollars.

CONTRACTORS TO MAKE REPAIRS
FOR w. VI. X. II.

All general maintenance work of
the entire system of the Western Mary
land Railway has been placed under
contract to Dickson Construction and
Repair Company of Youngstown, Ohio.
About 5000 employees were affected
by the move.
Mr.. Charles w. Stambaugh, Bond
street. this city, has been made su-
pervisor and superintendent of tracks
by the Construction Company. His
jurisdiction commences at Middleburg
and runs to Port Covington. The worst
feature of the change is that all the
men that come under the maintenance
work were reduced from SO to 25 cents
an hour. loss of ii cents, and
straight time. No pay for overtime.
The SO cents an hour was for hours,
but the 25 cents is for 10 hours. Four
teen crossing watchmen have been
dismissed from service, Mr.. Samuel
Greenholtz being the unfortunate one
in this CITY. Messrs. William Helm and
Monroe Storms will operate the cross
ing gates here, each serving II hours
a day instead of under the old sys-
TEN. A number of workmen in this
city have lost out under the change.
The passes used by the employees,
heretofore have been recalled. Those
using the trains daily are required to
buy monthly tickets.

MAY SEIZE HOMES
UNDER new DRY BILL
DOMICILES OF ALL PERSONS WHERE
WINE is KEPT ARE BRANDED COM
MON NUISANCE.
From the Baltimore News.

Annapolis, March 7.-Despite the
ground covered in the Legislature by
the Anti-Saloon Leagues prohibition
enforcement bill, opinions still vary
widely as to what is meant by certain
provisions of the measure and what
these provisions will really do if the
bill is given final passage
The enforcement bill has passed the
House, where it was the occasion of
heated debate, and would seem to have
an equal chance of passing the Senate
even minus a referendum amend
ment.
Undoubtedly Floor Leader Gambrill
made a strong Dlay-though so far
as the House was concerned an in
effective one-when he stated in his
assault upon the bill that any farm
er's wife who prepared a little home
made wine or any farmer who made
cider would become a criminal, their
residence liable to be shut up for one
year.
In connection with Mr.. GambrilTs
statement, which Anti-Saloon League
leaders deem an unwarranted assump-
tion, it may be worth while to repro
duce Sections Is and 16 of the bill as
it has passed the House and as it will
come before the Senate.
