HIDES LIQUOR

Prince Georges county police

CleverIy camOufIaged beneath
the vegetable sacks, the liquor
could not be found until officers
unlOaded the truck.
Working on a tip, believed to
have come from a rival liquor or
ganization, the police lay in wait

BladenSburg jail in default Of
bond, and will be arraigned in

TWO POSITIONS
!. ARE REPORTED
STILL OPEN
Crowley Expected to Be Chief;
Sergeancy Jobs Are Offered
to Hepburn and to Machen

RurnorS of sharp competition
between the sheriff's office at
Upper Marlboro and the new
county police force. now nearly
complete and awaiting the call
TO duty on June /, we're current
in the Prince Georges county
seat today when all indications
pointed to an entire Democratic
force.
Just who Is to fill the two
places which no applicants have
been recommended as yet is a
matter of conjecture. The county
commissioners, at their regular
Tuesday meeting. went into
executive session, supposedly to
debate the two positions, but at
the close of the day no infOrma-
ton was Forthcoming.
One of the most surprising up
sets in the appointment of the
new force was the sergeantcy Of
fered Arthur Hepburn. former
chief deputy sheriff. who, it was
understood, was to be given COM
mand of the new conStabulary.
At recent meeting of the Com.
miSSioners it was decided that
jeremiah Crowley, of the Kent
district, stood the greatest chance
to lead the force.
A second Sergeantcy, provided
under the terms of the police bill
Of 1881, has been offered to Her
bert Machen, who served in the
same capacity on the former
force.
Although no information has
been given out. no mention of a
reappointment for Frank Prince
has been made. Prince has
long record in Prince Georges
police activities. Victor Nichols,
another member of the old force,
likewise has not been mentioned
Tor one Of the two vacancies.
Six Are Recommended
Those recommended for posi-.
GicnS so far are: Claude Reese,
who served on the former force;
Ralph Brown, a constable; Oscar
Beall, Of Marlboro; william Gray,
of the Spalding district: William
=. Clifton, of Silver Hill, and
William C. Quade, of Brandywine.

NAUGHTY PARIS BOOKS
BLAMED ON FOREIGNERS
List Indicates Forbid EN- Volumes
Are Carried for Benefit of
Visiting Buyers.

PARIS Especially. - Every traveller
knows that there are in Paris shops
which specialize in the sale of forbid
den books. Frenchmen always insist
that this specially is for the benefit of
foreign visitors, and this contention
seems to be supported by a list of vol
umeS banned by the courts which has
been prepared by Maurice Garcon. a
leading Partisan lawyer. This list
shows that out of a total of some $50
volumes one-tifth are in English.
1t is noteworthy that many such
books in French are printed in Eng
land. while most of those in English are
printed in France. Works printed in
San Francisco and New York figure in
the list which mentions also Venice,
Amsterdam, Montreal, Quebec, Brussels,
Smyrna, Cologne, Lucerne, Lisbon,
Hamburg, Constantinople, Sofia, Vladi-
vostok and Glasgow.
M. Garcon has compiled his list for
legal purposes. Under French law the
publishers or sellers of indecent books
are tried in the AssiZe Court before a
jury. Once a conviction has been re-
corded any copies still offered for sale
lead to Police Court proceedings, which
Is much more rapid and less cum
brous Jurisdiction. thus facilitating the
work of the police.
But the records of the ASsize Courts
are not communicated to the police au-
thorities, SO that it is difficult for them
to know what books have been con-
demned. To remedy this, M. Garcon
enlisted the assistance of court clerks
for the preparation of his list.

FOUR CHILDREN FOUND
ADRIFT IN SMALL BOAT
Fishermen Rescue Party 80 Miles
From Shore Without Oars,
Water or Food.

SOFIA (SpeciaD In the little har-
Dor of SoZopol, on the Black Sea, fish
ermen observed at sea about 30 miles
from shore a small boat without oars.
They set out for it and were much sur
prised to find therein four children be-
tween 10 and Is, hungry and thirsty,
the youngest lying in a swoon. The
children thanked the fishermen, but
the latter could not understand, for the
children spoke Rumanian.
In the harbor an interpreter was
found and the children told their story.
They were playing three days before in
the Rumanian harbor of Constantza
when they observed a boat. They de-
cided to take advantage of the absence
of the owner to make a little trip
through the harbor Because there
were no oars they rowed with their
hands.
The boat was caught by current,
and when the boys realized the danger
they We're already far from shore. The
boat drifted south at distance of 40
miles from the coast. During the voy-
age they sighted no steamship. Two
days and two nights they were at the
mercy of the waves, and it was only on
the morning Of the third day that the
current bore them to Sozopol.

NEW YORK N.AN.A)-The Coney

Some years ago. Coney had a rainy

teSs to elect the King and Queen Of

a free-for-all.
Things went nicely until some young
bloods at a university club in New York
decided that an old college playmate,
already Staid End conservative resi-
dent Of Spuyten Duyvil, should be King
of Coney Island.
Sending out all conscr!ptable club
employees to Times Square. they bought
every available copy OF the newspaper
that contained the popularity coupon
and an avalanche of votes came into the
Office next day. putting the clubs can
didate into second place.

STOURTON GIRL
STILL ENGAGED

Miss Gytha Stourto-, great
granddaughter of the fourteenth
Duke of Norfolk. is back in
washington and still engaged to
Fiorvanti derAgnese, forn'e" but
ler at the British embassy
But just when the wedding
will take place Miss Stourton de-
clineS to say. She is still engaged,
she says, but that is all she cares
to say about the situation that
came as a great surprise to Wash
ington society and diplomatic
circles last fall.
Miss Stourton, a cousin of Sir
Esme Howard, former British am
bassador, was secretary to Lady
Howard and saw much of the
del 'Agnese while arranging social
affairs at the embassy.
When the engagement was an
nounced, Miss StOurtOn went to
London, where her family de,
clared themselves as opposed to
her romance.
The former butler is a member
of an ancient and now impover-
ished italian family, and took the
position as an economic necessity.
He is no longer connected with
the embassy, but is still in Wash
ington, seeking employment, it is
said,
