day of Sheriff Yutzy.

Yesterday was a good day for the
enforcement officers in Garrett county
but proved to be a bad day for al
legged moonshiners and dealers in lille
it liquor, especially in the Bear Hill
section of Garrett county, which is in
the neighborhood of Bittinger and
which has been visited at various
times in recent weeks by Sheriff Yut-
zy and his deputies but without sue
cess until yesterday when four alleged
shine artists were caught with the
goods" in that immediate vicinity. A
woman, who was in possession of two
cases of liquor was allowed to remain
at her home for various reasons by
the officers, while at the road house
north of Oakland where the road to
the General Construction Corpora
tons camp turns off the main high
way, two others were taken in charge.
All six men were brought to Oakland
and are now in jail.
The arrests were made by Sheriff
Iutzy, Deputy Sheriff Frank Blake,
State Policeman W. D. Casteel and
Prohibition Officer Harry Reeves, of
Cumberland, who came to Oakland
yesterday morning to assist the local
officers. The cases against the ar
rested parties were worked out by
States Attorney Offutt with the as
sistance of the local officers who have
been untiring in recent months to put
an end to the traffic and now results
are being obtained.
The officers brought back with them
from the raids they made at Bear
Hill Jesse Bittinger, George Bittin-
ger, Wilson Mason and Delbert Wilt.
All are alleged to have been engaged
in moonshining. Seven houses were
entered and in them two cases of LID
uor, twelve barrels of mash and one
still were destroyed.
The two arrested at the road house
on the Oakland-Accident road were
R. A. Fisher, proprietor Of the house,

FARM CENSUS WILL Be

In Charge of Agricultural
Tabulation This Year.

The Department of Commerce is
about to take a census of agriculture
covering the crop year 1924 and relat-
ing to conditions on or near January
1, 1925. This is the first Census of
Agriculture to be taken midway be-
tween the decennial censuses; the act
Of Congress authorizing it is based
on the belief that, with rapidly chang
ing conditions in agriculture, there
should be stock-talling as often as
every five years. The work of taking
the census will begin on December /,
and is to be completed on or before
January 81. AS rapidly as possible
after the receipt of returns state
ments will be released for the press,
by the Census Bureau at Washington,
relative to production of the principal
farm crops and the values of farm
properties, including land, buildings,
machinery, and live stock.
The enumeration will require the
services of $4,000 to 10000 enumera-
tors acting under the direction of PIP
supervisors, who have for the most
part been selected from the employees
of the Bureau of the Census and the
Department of Agriculture.
The Bureau of the Census has com
pleted the preliminary organization
of the field work on the Census for
the State of Maryland, and announces
the names and addresses of the sup
ervisors of the two districts into
which the state has been divided for
census purposes, together with the
probable number of enumerators,
number of farms in 1920, and the
names of the counties in each district.
Allegany and Garrett counties are at
tached to the third district of West

FEDERAL OFFICER
GETS DEATH WARRANT
MConshiners Recently Freed
From Prison are Blamed
New Death Ray" Gun.

Federal Enforcement Officer Will
liam R. Harvey was advised last night
from an underground" source that
unless he left certain bootleggers a.
lone now running a still in the hills
that he would be killed. Harvey plan
ned today to raid the still. Death
threats by letter or otherwise are
nothing to the local prohibition en-
forcement officers. Harvey thinks he
knows who sent the message. Re-
Gently foreign-born bootlegger tried
to kill him during a raid by pulling
gun but was disarmed. This man
is now out on bond. Several others
recently liberated from Jail have also
made threats according to Harvey.
In recent days the Federal Govern
ment has supplied the Prohibition
Officers with a new automatic maya
zine gun which when fired sprays
cone of buckshot. 1t is warranted to
kill.
On numerous occasions bootleggers
and moonshiners have fired on the
Federal agents and deputies. In the
future instead of shooting and return
ing their fire with single shot pistol
the new magazine gun will be used.
1t is of the sawed off variety, and
carries a cooler on the barrel, similar
to the army machine gun. 1t is
called the death ray"

county yesterday by defeating the
Accident hooters 81.

the uprights. Then a foul was called
in the penalty area and Joe Burroughs

loose and ran rough-shod over their
opponents. Again did Miller make a
wonderful kick and Smouse scored.
