GRAFT RAMPANT
GRAND JURORS
ARE TOLD
Cleanup of Anne Arundel
County Forecast by ACCUSE.
tions by Circuit Court Bench

Charging that crime is rampant
over Anne Arundel county, with
police authorities giving protec-
ton and accepting graft, Circuit
Court Judge Robert Moss prom
ised the grand jury in Circuit
Court at Annapolis today that
evidence against police for pos
sible indictments would be pre-
sented.
Judge Moss complained that
criminals are dominating Anne
Arundel county and its affairs;
that gamblers, bootleggers, and
proprietorS Of questionable resorts
are flourishing without oppoSi-
ton, and that he is pronouncing
war on what he called an intoler-
able situation.
Police Indifferent
He reminded, in his charge to
the grand jury, that the county
is paying $13,SOO annually for
salaries Of county policemen in
addition TO the Annapolis officers
ana there are police on the county
force with 20 years. service who
have never made an arrest.
Many police officials are &C
cepting graft money for protection
Of organized crime, he declared.
He deplored the action OF the
last legislature in banning snoop-
ing or informing to police oy
underworld characters.
Observing that in recent years
few negroes had been arrested for
gambling, the judge declared tnat
two colored men are maintaining
a protected gambling establish.
ment near Annapolis, unmolested
by authorities.
Tips Spoil Raids
Judge Moss commended the Of
flee Of Sheriff r. Glenn Proutt IN
a general way, but said the sheriff
was hampered in his work by the
fact that the raids he plans ana
arrests he proposes are nearly al
ways baked by a tip-of. Judge
Moss indicated that someone who
knew the sheriff's plans very well
would send word ahead to the sus-
pected person or establishment. so
that visits Of the sheriff were
fruitlesS.
He further suggested that police
rnaSisfrateS over the State who
hear cases Of drunken drivers
should endeavOr to learn from
those arrested the source Of their
liquor. This phase at present Is
neglected, said Judge Moss.
In the jail now awaiting trial
are two suspected Of murder, two
charged with rape, IL with lar
ceny, two with robbery, one with
assault and one with desertion.

FIXES
SCHOOL SITE

The matter Of a new high
school site for Takoma Park, Md,
apparently has been satisfactorily
settled after several months of
controversy.
Lacy Shaw, president Of the
board of commissioners Of Mont
gomery county, has informed J.
Bond Smith, corporation counsel
of Takoma Park, that he will be
glad to support the purchase by
the county, as soon as FUNDS are
available, Of an appropriate school
site adjacent to the present ele'
mentary school and municipal cen
te-.
The additional site is to extend
north along the west side Of Ma
pie Avenue, adjoining the park to
be acquired in the Maple venue
valley.
Mr.. Shaw said the purchase OF
this tract is now justified for
one or more Of the following pur
poses: For the expansion Of ele
mentary school facilities at this
central location; for the location
of any additional high school
other than such continued high
school use as may be made Of the
present Takoma Silver Sprin
High School and Of the high
school which will be built on the
Montgomery Avenue site in Sil
yer Spring.
He further stated there are nc
present funds available for pur
chase of the new site, hut that
the 1882 school and road bond
issues may provide such funds
during the summer Of 1882.
Whatever your wants may be, ther'
is always a possibility that they cal
be satisfied through the many services

 MT. Terhune calls attention to Alaska5 require ment that every nonresident be accompanied a hunt by registered Alaskan guide. In addition to many independent guides there guide associa tions at Juneau, Anchorage Kodiak and Fairbanks, and most prospective visitors make advance arrange ments with one of these for their expeditions.
 The game hunter finds in Alaska the large brown and grizzly bears moose, caribou, white Dals sheep, small deer, and mountain goats The true sportsman, MT. Terhune says is willing to follow the code of sportsmanship, which assures for the future "a little game for many men," for he real izes that the supply is not unlimited. The Alaska Game Commission is prepared however, to inforce the letter of the law, MT. Terhune says, and to restrict shooting rights further if the need should arise

Yorktown, 17S1-1931.
(NeW York TimeS.)

(New York Times)
 Professor Goodwin of Williamsburg President of the Yorktown Sesquicenennia Association, expresses the hope that at the celebration next October the Thirteeen Original States will participate through their Governors and members of their Legislatures It is also desired that all the other States will be represented, but mo flag of any of the Thir- teen Original States should be absent" from the procession which will pass before the President of the United States and the represe natives of the French Government. There should be question of the response especially in view of the approach of the bicentennial of the birth of George Wash ngton
 The association is the cooperating and coor- dinating agency" of the National Commission of which Senator Swanson is Chairman, and of the State of Virginia Commission. It is authorized to arrange the details of the celebration which 1t hopes to make worthy. It desires, incidentally, that the l celebration may lead to the creation of perma- nent Colonial National Monument However the present is the States shall make provision for representation at the ceremonies the 18th of October The Federal Government has already ap- propriated $20O,00O.
 It was originally hoped that other nations would wish to join in the celebration France, without whom there would have been no victory at York | town; Germany in memory of Steuben, who rendered indispensable service; Poland prompt ad by the memory of the participation of Count Pulaski and even England, rejoicing with America in vic- tory by Engish-Amercans fighting victoriously | for the vndication and perpetuaton of the rights guaranteed to the English people under Magma Charta. But the amount appropriated for this particular purpose does not permit such extensive hospitality. The official invitation to foreign Gov ernments is therefore restricted to France though special individuals will be invited, as well as mem bers of the Diplomatic Corps.
 It is to be regretted that official representa- tves for England not to be present to cele- brate with what of her most loyal and famous sons" called "Englands greatest victory because without it there would doubtless have been 1 no British Colonial Empre"

GOOD MAYONNAISE DEPENDS UPON THE
 WAY OIL IS ADDED
Likewise, Flavor Development in Coffee Depends Upon
 Roasting Process

Housewives sometimes can add oil to mayonnaise ingredients in large amounts and not see the mixture separate. But in most cases there is disappointment. "A little at time" is the best way.
 Occasionally big patches of coffee can be roasted to perfection, but this result cannot always be depended upon. Because of this, Hills Bros., after years of study, originated and patented Controlled Roasting-a continuous process that roasts only a few pounds at time.
 A constant stream of the blended green coffees is introduced into a series of roasters in accurately measured lots-about three pounds. As it passes through in a steady, automatically controlled flow, the heat, which never varies, roasts every berry to uniform perfection. [ No other coffee tastes like Hills Bros. Coffee because none Is roasted the same way. It always comes to you fresh, because Hills Bros. pack their coffee in vacuum cans. By this process, air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is taken out If the can and kept out. Coffee does not stay fresh in or dinary cans, even if air-tight, be- cause there is air inside the can. Grocers everywhere sell Hills Bros. Coffee. Ask for it by name and look for the Arab-the trade-mark-on the can.

BEARING FALSE WITNESS.

The South Dakota Legislature prefaced reso- lution endorsing President Hoover for his loyalty to Prohibition with the following:
 Whereas there is an organized, insist
 ent and perncious effort on the part of the
 liquor interests of the United States to
 discredit, break down, and destroy the
 Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution
 through insidious paid propaganda by men
 in high official positions and by newspapers
 and magazines owned or controlled by
 liquor interests, etc.
 That is a deliberate misstatement Of facts All who know the facts know that the newspapers which are opposed to Prohibition neither owned nor controlled by liquor interests" They know that newspaper and magazine editorials and articles urging that the country return to sanity are not being paid for by liquor interests" or any other interests except those which publish the newspapers and magazines The Dakota Legislature is guilty of sander
 There has been thousand-fold more falsehood deception and bad faith in proProhibtion literature than in that which opposes the un-American and foolish attempt to prevent the repeal or modified tion of Prohibition

BIG GAME IS DRAWING CARD.

In the nneties gold the loadstone that lured the people of the United States to Alaska, but today big game is the attraction according to a recent Agricultural Department bulletin. H. w. Terhune executive officer of the Alaska Game Com mission says that sportsmen in the States answer Aaskas call of the wild annually and in increasing numbers.
 While in Washington recently to confer with of- ficals of the Biological Survey United States De- partment of Agriculture policies for preserving game in Alaska, MT Terhune said that bear, moose, caribou mountain sheep, and deer are playing an important part in bringing the peoples of Alaska and the States into closer relation.
 More than 100 sportsmen from the States come to Alaska every year to hunt, and among them are always newcomers Mr. Terhuns said They enjoy few days of hunting, and most of them are satisfied with reasonable bags of game Some become sufficiently interested in Alaskas de- velopment to invest money there
 Alaska is not cheap hunting ground. Nor is it available to the man from the States who has but few days free from his work. The long trip by boat to the Territory and the journey inland from the coast to comparatively inaccessible hunting grounds require time and expense. The average hunting expedition calls for absence from the States of five to seven weeks and expenditure o $2,000 per man.
 Hunting is feasible only about 60 days each
