DRY AGENTS OPEN
DRIVE IN MARYLAND
Baltimore Forces and Capital
Police Aid in Effort to
Clear Four Counties.

Groups of Federal agents and Wash
ington policemen, three times larger
than normal strength, worked in South
ern Maryland today to dry up an
extensive area.
Four parties bore the brunt of a
vigorous attack on the supply of
Christmas intoXicants, with the Fed
eral men hopeful of offering 100 per
cent effective report to Col. Amos w.
w. Woodcock, prohibition director.
Col. Woodcock, who was United
States district attorney at Baltimore for
eight years and who travels frequently
to his old home at Salisbury, Md, fol-
lowed the drive closely, having arranged
to keep in daily touch with the effort.
Twenty Federal agents brought -.
from Baltimore augmented William r.
Blanford's staff of officers. the whole
detachment moving into four counties
Charles, Prince Georges, Calvert and
st. Mays Their orders are to stay on
the job until Southern Maryland Is
cleaned up"
Thirty Patrol Border.
While the Federal men launched
their drive yesterday and today, 80
Washington policemen under Inspector
Bean and Sergt. George M. Little of the
vice squad, patrolled the Maryland lines
of the District of Columbia border.
Their assignment was to arrest the
LIQUOR runners the Federal men expected
to chase cut of Southern Maryland as
they travel every inch of road"
The Washington policemen are travel
ing in crews of two men, one a prohi-
bitlon officer, and are working around
the clock in eight-hour shifts. Federal
agents, with the Baltimore detachment,
under Robert D. Ford acting assistant
administrator, are being directed by
Blanfcrd. who is acting administrator
of the fourth administrative district
with headquarters here.
Coll Woodcock. who is known to re-
gard Southern Maryland as one of the
sore spots in enforcement activity, was
said to have ordered as large force
as is necessary to produce results. The
argument that the staff of enforcement
officers has never been adequate to stop
the flow of liquor from Southern Mary
land into the National Capital has been
swept aside by Col. Woodcock's order
that as many men as can be spared
from other sections be brought in for
the drive.
Source of Discomfort.
The area under attack has more miles
of uncharted wagon tracks leading to
inaccessible liquor supplies than almost
any area of similar dimensions in the
country.
The temperament of the lawless ele-
ment, the topography of the territory
and other factors have long made it a
source of extreme discomfort to the Pro-
hibition Bureau. Familiar with the STU
alton by virture of his contacts and ex-
perience as a prosecuting officer, Col
Woodcock is said to be especially con-
cerned that the Federal men throw all
their resources into the territory.
No limit has been set on the duration
of the drive. Federal agents have been
quartered in four Maryland towns and
will work out of those towns until the
area is covered. Two crews of three men
each have been assigned to Leonard
town, one crew to La Plata, one crew
to Waldorf, two crews 70 Marlboro and
two crews VIII work out Of Washington.

GR|SWOLD'S
LONG CAREER ENDS
Head of Episcopal Church in
Chicago Is Dead From
General Breakdown.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 29-Death
came to the Right Rev. Sheldon Mum
son Griswold, 69-year-old Bishop of the
Chicago Diocese of the Episcopal
Church, in an Evanston hospital last
night after long and courageous fight
against lingering illness.
A general breakdown and heart dis
ease, which necessitated his removal TO
the hospital seven weeks ago, were the
cause Of death.
Wife at Bedside.
The bishops invalid wife, for whom
he made a valiant fight to retain life,
and the Rev. George Craig Stewart, who
as bishop coadjutor automatically sue
ceeds to the bishopric, were with the
aged churchman as he passed away, as
we're DR.. Dwight P. Clark, his physician
and Mrs Robert Lansing of New York
sister of Mrs. Griswold. The last rites
of the church were administered by
Bishop Stewart.
Death came quietly. For days the
bishop had been in state of coma
with life sustained during his last week
by the injection of fluid nourishment.
He did not regain consciousness before
he died.
Bishop Griswolds death ended a long
service for the church, although he was
head of the Chicago diocese for less
than year, during much of which time
he was prevented by Illness from active
direction of diocesan affairs. He was
chosen last February as successor to the
late Most Rev. Charles Palmerston An
derson. who. at the time of his death,
last January. was the presiding bishop
of the Protestant Episcopal Church of
the United States.
Election May Be Called.
One of Bishop Griswolds last ex.
pressed wishes was that he be buried in
Chicago Detailed arrangements for his
funeral we're to be announced today.
Immediately after his death Bishop
Stewart issued statement, praising
Bishop Griswold's rich devotional life,
adding that church people everywhere
would mourn his loss. Whether Bishop
Stewart will call for election of a suf-
fragan or coadjutor bishop to assist him
was left entirely to his own wishes.

humors. Called Songs from the
JuSt-So Stories" immortalized bv
the pen of Mr.. Kipling, and set to
delightful music by Mr.. or Mrs.
or Miss German, these shorter num-
berS seemed among the more out
standing bits of the morning. Mrs.
Coville sang them with a clear and
effortless voice, some Of her previous
efforts having been marred by a
slurring, see-saw juggling from one
note to another-noticeabl mostly
in the Bach "Kom SUSSEX Tod" In
the Kipling songs, however, she mus
tered the very considerable talent
that she Is capable of, and sang
them not only prettily but spon-
taneously and in the true manner
of true artist.
Miss Gutelius began the program
with rendering of the Schumann
"Kreisleriana." Starting off with
moderate speed and maximum tech
nical persuasion. she passed blithely
through the "vivacisisimo" and the
"andantino" movements, her play
ing becoming a trifle blurred only
toward the end Of the last page or
so. In this, an exacting passage for
the most stalwart, artist, Miss
Gutelius seemed somewhat overcome
by the difficulties that beset her.

rendering of the Brahms "Capric-

forgotten and only the excellencies

3HOLD-UPS PROBED;
SUSPECT ARRESTED
Armed Robbers Get $143
From Two Filling Stations
and Grocery Store.

One suspect was under arrest today
as the result of an investigation
launched by headquarters detectives
into the trio of hold-ups in which
armed robbers collected $143 from two
gasoline filling stations and a grocery
store early last night.
The man is being held at the fifth
precinct station pending further in
-, vest!gation of his story by Detective
F; Sergts. Van Doran Hughes, Chester
! Stepp, j. j. Tolson and John w. Wise,
who made the arrest.
The suspect has denied any connec-
ton with the robberies, but has been
/ identified, police say, by Galen B.
Kagey as one of two white men who
drove into his filling station, at Fiji
tenth and D streets southeast, and
robbed him of $40 at the point of a
pistol.
Robbers Lock Up Victim.
They escaped in an automobile after
| locking Kagey in an ante room of the
Office. Arthur Johnston of 422 Fiji
tenth street southeast released Kagey
when he drove into the station for
gasoline and heard the managers cries
Tor help.
The Lord Baltimore gasoline station,
at 2715 Pennsylvania avenue. was held
up by three white men and robbed of
sos at IL O'Clock, half an hour after

|DRYS WEIGH PLAN
| FOR VOTE ON RUM
Leaders Consider Backing
U. S. Observation-Disclosures
Objects to Proposal.
BY the Associated Press

! By the Associated Press.
Leaders Of the countrys prohibition
forces are discussing the desirability of
lending support to a national referen-
dunn on prohibition.
A tentative plan, on which decision
has not been made as yet would have
the prohibition forces stand behind a
constitutional amendment, formulated
by the vets, calling for repeal or modi-
fication of the eighteenth amendment,
This support would extend until Con-
gress had looked over the proposal, and
would be contingent upon definite as
surance that separate constitutional
conventions elected by each State would
pass upon it, and that the decision of
these groups would be accepted as final,
Tor time at least, by the prohibition
opponents.
Dry Leaders at Odds,
The dry leaders are far from being
in harmony on the plan. F. Scott Nc
Bride, Anti-Saloon League superintend-
ent, termed it "a betrayal of prohibi-
ton by the dry leaders"
DR.. Clarence True Wilson, secretary
OF the Methodist Board of Temperance.
Prohibition and Public Morals said he
was ready to sit down with the vets
at any time and formulate a question
to be placed before the American peo-
pie. asking them to say yes or no as to
whether the liquor trafic should be-
resumed
He doubted wet leaders would agree
to the proposal.
Conferences on the subject are to
continue here and In New York. The
discussion probably will be renewed
during the second week of December.
First BrOached In Hotel Room.
The plan first was preached before
small group of drys in a hotel room
mere. Present were Patrick H. Callahan
OF Louisville, KY, secretary of the Asso-
cation of Catholics Favoring Prohibi-
ton; Representative Fort, Republican.
New Jersey; Oliver Stewart of Indian
apolls, head of the Flying Squadron of
America, and DR.. Arthur j. Barton of
Wilmington, N. c.. head of the Tenn
perance Committee of the Southern
Baptist Convention. Mcbride and Will
son were out Of the city, but were rep-
resented at the conference by asso-
ciates.
McBride's position on the suggestion
was that there was nothing to be gain
ed by the dryS that no one could bind
the vets to let up their attacks on pro-
hlbition; that 1t would be a waste of
money, and would put prohibition sup
porters on the defensive.
