MEN ARRESTED HAULING
BIG LIQUOR LOAD HELD
Cation Brothers And William
Knepp, Finzel, Caught with 300
Gallons, Must Face U. S. Court
JOHNSON PLEADS GUILTY

Harvey Cation, Earl Cation and Will
liam Knepp, all of Finzel, Garrett
county, arrested in the recent raid by
Federal prohibition agents staged pri-
marily down in Allegany county, but
eventually reaching out into the east
ern section of this county, with the
largest seizure of the raid, were given
a hearing last Saturday morning be-
fore United States Commissioner
Thomas j. Anderson at Cumberland
and held in $1,000 bond each on the
charges of conspiracy to possess and
transport liquor.
The men, who were arrested as their
truck, loaded with 300 gallons of
whiskey, was parked on side road
leading from Finzel to. the National
Highway, awaiting the prohibition
agents who had previously posed as
big time rum runners and ordered"
the whiskey to be delivered to that
spot.
William A. Gunter, attorney for the
three men, contended that Harvey Ca
ton and William Knepp were merely
passengers on the truck and had no
connection with the liquor, styling
them as "hitch-hikers."
The men testified that they had ac-
cepted a ride to a nearby wood-saw-
ing camp and had no connection with
the load of liquor. The original bonds
posted for continuance of the hear
ing, were extended to cover their ap-
pearance at the United States Dis
trict Court.
Bryan Johnson, arrested in connec-
ton with the other major seizures of
the raid, when 21O gallons of illicit
spirits was found and confscated at
the johnson farm, had previously en-
tered a plea of guilt.

WILD FLOWERS OF THE ALLECHANIES," BY JOSEPH
Z. HARMED, Is RESULT OF MANY YEARS RESEARCH

Allegheny region are included in the
pages, and is the first publication to
present fully illustrated key to the
families of flowers represented. The
author, recognizing the Importance
and advantage of a knowledge of dis
tinguishing characters of the differ
ent families of plants, found it pos
sible to arrange the illustrated key
which shows SO families of the plant
world of the Alleghanies. The draw
ings are made by Mr.. F. Schuyler
Methews, Cambridge, Mass, a noted
artist.
Mr.. Harmed has been collecting ma
terial for more than 35 years, and all
his field experience and botanical
study are shown in his description of
plants which are more from personal
observation than from text books. The
publication was prepared especially
as supplement text, for popular use,
and for the student of nature.
There are eight colored plates from
paintings by Miss Mary Eaton and
Mr.. Mathews, with over 400 other il
Illustrations from line drawings of in
dividual species, leaf forms, floral
characters and types of inflorescence,
made especially by Mr.. Mathews.

Oakland City Water Is
Absolutely Pure

Oakland city water is absolutely
pure, according to monthly tests
which are being made by the State
health department, and there is no
foundation to a story appearing re-
Gently in Baltimore paper that
Western Maryland cities lacked in
iodine content in water.
Last months tests of Oakland city
water showed proper percentage of
this necessary element, and further
more showed that the water was 100
percent pure. Health authorities as
sert that lack of iodine content in
water is the cause of goitre. Mr..
Shaffer of the State department of
Health was in Oakland on Tuesday
getting samples of water from the
new wells of the city water system.

ial commission appointed by the Presi-
dent to make new study Of the Ala
bama power property with the idea
of disposing Of it is expected to make
public its findings this week. The re-
port, no matter how automatically
phrased, is packed with political dyna-
mite. The explosions may be echoed
in the 1882 Presidential campaign The
issue of government operation of util-

has pronounced views on this subject.
Senator Norris of Nebraska, Sena-

able to arrive at settlement of this
issue which has been hanging fire for
