STEAMER is BEACHED NEAR
TOWN POINT

When the Anthony Groves" of the
Baltimore and Philadelphia Steamboat
Company, sprang leak late Saturday
night while en- route to Baltimore, IN
Elk river, near Town Point, Capt
Milburne Willis piloted the ship up on
a sandbar to "keep its nose out of the
water" preventing more serious
damage.
Approximately so passengers aboard
were transferred to the LILLIAN
Anne" of the Chesapeake and Della
ware Line, which heard its distress
signals, and were landed at a dock in
Baltimore on schedule.
After being stranded on the bar for
four hours, in which time the damaged
seams were repaired, the vessel was
able to clear at flood tide and proceed
to Baltimore.
The Anthony Groves left Philadelphla,
at 4 P. M. Saturday and steamed
through the Chesapeake and Delaware
Canal. The trouble became noticeable
in her forward seams late that evening
in the Elk river.

SHAKEUP DUE In FEDERAL DRY
DEPARTMENT

Report is that another shakeup
affecting the Atlantic Coast States is
pending in the prohibition department.
If the reports are correct, it would
appear that seperate deputy prohibition
administration for each individual State
will be abolished and enforcement along
the entire coast centered in one man,
with several hundred experienced
operators working under him.
George A. Hill, of Bridgeville, is
now deputy administrator for Della
ware being responsible for enforce
ment in Delaware and the Eastern
Shore of Maryland. His office is in
Dover, having been moved from
Wilmington some time ago.
Colonel Samuel o. Wynne, deputy
administrator for Pennsylvania, is
said to be in line for selection as ad-
ministrator of the Atlantic states.
1t has been urged against the new
plan that it gives too mvch territory to
one man, that the diversity of the prob
lens he must face makes impossible
the most effective solution, and that
the increase of responsibilities carries
with it the increase of temptation all
along the line.
The answer to this has been refer
ence to the dismal failures of enforce
ment efforts when made by State
directors. 1t is argued that the break
down of State lines in Federal enforce
ment will enable regional director to
shift his operatives so that bootleggers
and rum-runners will not have the
opportunity for prolonged contracts
and resultant opportunities for corrup-
ton.
