BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.


Foreign diplomats stationed in
Washington may have to content
themselves with rations of liquor.
Highly suggestive information has
recently come into the possession of
the United States government show
ing that there is frst-class precedent
for restricting the quantity Of alco-
holic drink which foreign representa-
tives may bring into the country duty
free. The precedent has been estab-
lished by the British government and
affects the diplomatic corps stationed
in London. This writer has had ac-
cess to documentary evidence which
deals with the British regulations.
Would Prevent Leak.
Certain federal authorities are Of
the opinion that the British restric-
tive scheme offers an effective meth
cd of limiting diplomatic liquor in
Washington to demonstrated personal
needs. and even of restricting its I'M
portation to higher officials of en-
bassies and legations. They believe
that If the British system we're in
troduced in Washington ''boor,eggiag
diplomacy would be effectually cur
tailed, II not entirely knocked out.
The British foreign Office rule gov
erning wines and spirits designed for
consumption of diplomats officials is
as follows:
"As regards articles brought by a
foreign diplomatic representative and
his staff on first arrival in this coun-
LAS often as an ambassador, min

majesty's TREASURY are apprised of
such an appointment by a commu-
nication from the foreign office. Di-
rections are thereupon given to the
commissioners of customs to observe
the usual respect in the examination
of the baggage and effects of the new
representative and of his suite, and
such articles as are for his private
use, and which personages of his
rank may be supposed to require for
domestic purposes, are passed duty

MARLBORO. Md, January 2s.-Ten
Washingtonians and two alleged pro-
prietors OF the Maryland Inn were
arrested last night, after Sheriff Ar
thur Sweeney and Deputy Sheriff Ed
ward E. Pumphrey staged a two-man
raid on the inn, on the Marlboro pike
about mile from the District line,
and closed up the premises on charges
OF operating a gambling house.
The raid was conducted in orderly
fashion. Sheriff Sweeney and Dep
uty Pumphrey drove up to the door,
raped and were admitted as prospec-
tive guests. They announced that
the house was "pinched." One of the
men in charge replied: VERY well
go as far as you like"
This took place at about 1880
o'clock last night. One hundred and
fifty guests were assembled. Accord
ing to the officers, craps appeared
to be the prime and virtually ex-
elusive entertainment afforded, al
though, 1t was understood, cards were
found in the house.
Many Patrons Escape Arrest.
During the next hour Deputy
Sheriff Pumphrey occupied his time
in trying to locate q truck to trans
port the prisoners to Marlboro. His
quest met with little success Finally,
however, he did locate one truck at
the home of Charles Radke near the
District line, and the twelve men
were brought to Marlboro, where they
remained all last night.
Had 1t not been for the fact that
he was unable to find sufficient trans
portation. the entire $50 patrons
would have been brought to Marl-
boro. it was stated at the sherifr's
office today.
The alleged proprietors of the
house, held on charges Of operating
gaming table for profit, are Elmer
humphrey and John J. O'Neill. Pun
phrey resides in Prince Georges
county near Marlboro and is a broth
er of the deputy sheriff who made
the arrest. O'Neill is understood to
be Washingtonian, formerly resid-
ing in Chevy Chase. Both are under
$500 bond to appear before Justice
II. w. Gore In Marlboro next Friday
at 10 o'clock. The Washingtonians

FIERY, ITCHY SKIN QUICKLY SOOTHED
 WITH SULPHUR

Mentho- Sulphur, pleasant cream, will soothe and heal skin that is ir rftated or broken out with eczema; that is covered with ugly rash or pimples. or is rough or dry. Moth ing subdues fiery skin eruptions so quickly, says a noted skin specialist.
 The moment this sulphur prepara tion is applied the itching stops and after two or three applications, the eczema is gone and the skin is de- lightfully clear and smooth. Sulphur is so precious as a skin remedy be- cause it destroys the parasites that cause the burning, itching or disfig urement. Mentho-S Sulphur always heals eczema right up.
 A small jar of Rowles Mentho-Sul- phur may be had at any good drug store.-Ady.
