in Tent of Camp ct

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va, Aug.
24.-Prompt work on the part OF
the bucket brigade of the District
guardsmen saved the camp from
possible destruction yesterday when
fire of undetermined origin was
discovered in a squad tent In the
center of Company e.
Upon sounding the alarm the
bucket brigade, under the direction
of Sergeant David Moline rushed
venting the flames from spreading
to adjacent tents, but not until
$3.50 damage had been done to
Government property. Al number
Of personal losses were sustained
by the eight men occupying the
tent.
The dress parade yesterday after
noon drew large throng of visi-
tors from Norfolk, Ocean View and
other nearby places to- the camp.
Following the parade the. regi-
mental band gave a concert pro-
gram.
That there is little danger Of
successful bootlegging in the camp
was demonstrated last night when
Major George j. Allen. command
ing the medical detachment, ap-
pretended a man who was solicit
ing the sale Of Whiskey among
the troops When taken into Gus
tody, the bootlegger ADMITTED that
he had been approached by moon
sinners who wanted him to dispose
OF their liquor in the camp. How
ever, he denied making any sales,
and in view of the fact that he did
not have any liquor on MIN, he
was released and ordered out Of
the camp, with instructions not to
return at any time.

ROCKVILLE. Nd, Aug. 24.-That
conditions in Montgomery county,

George w. Crabbe, State superin-

who delivered the principal address,
gave similar testimony, declaring
that not only is Montgomery county
showing steady progress but that
many other sections Of the State
are doing better, and that even in
Baltimore city conditions are i'm
proving.
The meeting was conducted by
the presidents the Reverend Clar.
ence Corkran, of Washington

known as the go getter'' of the
Senate, Moses is famed for his sue
cesses in the face of great odds
His services are always sought
when the opposition is strongest,
and he brings to the battle a bril-
liant wit and great ability as a de-
batter. Few men seek to cross yer.
bal swords with him, yet the gen
tleness of his flashing humor has
made friends of even his political
opponents.
Brilliant Speaker
The Senator Is a favorite in the
Capitals dinner set because Of his
ability as a conversationalist. He
loves the life, too, and no social
event in the Capital Is quite com-
plete without his presence.
His independence of action
amounts to a hobby. Although
chairman of the Senatorial cam
paign committee be doesn't hesitate
a second to oppose his party lead
erS II a measure displeaSes him.
Yet it is to his management OF the
recent campaign that Republican
Senators accredit their majority in
the present Congress. In the last
Congress he fought the postal-pay
veto of President Coolidge with as
much vigor as did the most bellig-
erent Democrat. And the postal en-
ployes finally got their salary in
creases-thanks to Moses.
Hits Dawes
He dares the greatest heights.
When Vice President Dawes began
pro tenn Of the Senate to assail
attack on the Senate's rules 1t was
Moses who stepped out as president
pro tenn. of the Senate to assa.l
the Vice Presidents viewpoint,
Without mentioning Dawes, but in
language which defied misinterpre-
tatjon. Moses said:
at is to be observed that, with
few exceptions, the demand for a
change in the rules Of the Senate
arises from those whose contact
with the Senate is either brief or
nonexistent. Many man has come
into the Senate with a determine
ticn to tame it, and almost without
exception these men have them
selves been tanned by the Senate
and have come to realize the true
value of the Senate rules"
Another hobby Of the Senator's is
to make himself the butt OF anec-
dotes. His best anecdote is about
his early life as a school teacher.
On the closing day of one term he

asked the children what reading
lesson they desired, and one
youngster calld out Page 106."
When the Senator found the page
he also found q poem, entitled
THE Burial Of Moses"
Favorite AnecdOte
His favorite anecdote, however,
is about two French Canadians
who were in New Hampshire when
the battleship Maine was sunk in
Havana harbor. One Of the
Canucks was erudite-he could
solve newspaper headlines. The
other could neither read nor write.
The Canucks found a newspaper
recounting the sinking Of the
Maine.

quired the non-reader.
"It says, Maine sunk" replied
the educated one.
my Godn shouted the non
reader, my brother lives in Port
land and now he's gone to hell!'
Taught School
The Senator loves children. He
never forgets his own school days,
when he had to work his way
through college. first as a book
agent, then as a seashore hotel
waiter, and, finally, by teaching
school on the side. Recently sew

PENAL TIES URGED
EIdridge Says Drivers Are
Not Observing Right-of-
Way at Crossings.

Heavier penalties for motorists found
to be responsible for collision at inter
sections were advocated today by Traf-
fic Director Eldridge in an effort to
bring about closer observance of the
right-of-way rule.
The traffic director said that in at
tending Traffic Court almost every
night in the past few months he has
noted that about half the time of the
court is taken up with collision cases.
The number, he said, has led him to
the conclusion that too many drivers
are not mindful of the right -of-way
regulation, which, briefly. is as fol-
lows:
The. vehicle on the right has the
right of way, except when making a
turn. Vehicles going straight at an
intersection have the right of way over
vehicles making turn.
IF every motorist will keep this
rule constantly in mind and observe it
I am confident there will be fewer col
lisions," said Mr.. Eldridge. Motor
lists also should remember that street
cars and pedestrians have the right of
way at intersections.
The number of collision cases indi-
Gates that motorists could exercise
more caution in approaching intersec-
tions and adhere strictly to the right.

Mr.. Eldridge said he would endeavor
to have the court place heavier pen
atty on motorists found at fault in col
lisions at intersections. He added he
regarded the right-of-way rule as one
of the fundamental principles of driv-
ing.

GIANT STILL SEIZED
AS DRY WAR BEGINS
Plant With 750-Gallon-a-Da
Capacity, Hidden in Wood,
Is Destroyed.

Washington prohibition agents cele
brated the debut of the new Budnit2
administration here by swooping down
on a halfacr distillery near Conway
Md, some distance north OF Annapolis
and seizing what is believed to be the
largest illicit plant ever discovered in
this vicinity.
1t was operated by a 75-horsepower
boiler, and contained 1900 -galloT
still, 10000 gallons of mash. and tons
of sugar and rye meal. Prohibition
Agents T. E. Hartman and r. F. Cor
nett led the raiding party. A stroke
of LII luck for the operators of the
still. which proved to be good fortune
for the raiders. figured In the discov
cry Of the plant.
A small automobile was seized as II
made it's way into Washington early
today. 1t contained so gallons of greer
rye whisky Although the operator
escaped, Cornett recognized the car
as one he had seen during the last
week at the entrance to the woody
road on the Crane highway neal
Conway. The agents Immediately went
to that spot. In the soft dirt road they
picked UP the trail left by the cal
as it had left the still.
Car Breaks Through Bridge.
Back Ave miles into the woods they
went over a road with tortuous turns
and the first accident to befall then
was when one of their high-poweret
cars broke through a bridge. Its pas
sengers narrowly escaped injury.
The agents left the car hanging or
the brink of a ravine, got into another
one and followed the road back to the
middle of a dense wooded strip. There
in hollow was the plant. 1t covered
almost half an acre. A stream o
water supplied the facilities for max
ing steam. Two stills stood like minia
ture water towers just back from the
boiler, which was a sort Of station
airy steam engine ordinarily used il
building operations.
Surrounding the engine and the
stills were 2S 5oo-gallon tubs, steam
ing with mash, as well as 16 1000
gallon tubs. These contained so, ,00(
gallons of mash in a state of fermen
tation, About $50 gallons of the fin
ished product were in tubs ready fol
bottling in the half-gallon fruit jars
used to transport the liquor to 1oca
bootleggers.
Believed Big Source.
Hartman estimated that of Wash
ington's daily 5000 gallons of illicit
liquor this still has been furnishing
at least 25 per cent.
When the agents rushed the still
they found 1t deserted, although the
fire was still burning under the boiler
and the liquor was dripping into the
tubs. Approximately three tons OF
coke was piled beside the boiler.
The agents spent almost four hours
demolishing the plant and the little
stream bordering on the still was
made almost a Spring freshet wher
the mash was dumped into it.
