And more than that, he was not

Undauntedly had fought.

Prince Georges Citizens Attack Vice
SUBURB!!
THROES OF
CRUSADE
Citizens Meet to Denounce
Lawlessness and Wage
War on Conditions.
The opening gun of what prom
ises to be a bitter campaign to
free Prince George's county,
Maryland, of vice conditions,
gambling and bootlegging was
fired last night when 150 repre
sentative citizens of the county
met in the municipal building at
Hyattsville and formed an organ
ization to combat lawlessness.
Declare War on Vice.
With the open declaration of war
against all forms of lawlessness in
the county, the gage was thrown
down to high county officials who,
it is charged, have winked at the
prevalence of gambling, petting par
ties and bootlegging.
The charge was made by one mem
ber of the new organization that cer
tain county officials not only are per
mitting the sale of illicit whiskey,
but are actually bootlegging liquor
themselves.
The meeting last night was called
to order by Mayor J. Frank Rush's
of Hyattsville. Mayor Rushe was
elected chairman; Judge H. J. Mof
fatt, secretary, and Mrs. K. J. Mor
ris, treasurer.
The Rev. J. E. Smith, pastor of
the Christian Church at Landover
and knoWn throughout this section
|of the country as "the fighting
Scotch parson," was Introduced to
the meeting as a candidate at the
Republican primaries for sheriff.
If the "respectable element” of
Prince George’s county choose "the
I fighting parson" as their chief law
I enforcement officer, they will have
' elected a man who Is absolutely
fearless, his friends say.
Past Record.
| In seven weeks, It is said, during
I which he conducted a rapid-fire
! evangelistic service, he cleaned up
1 vice conditions In Martinsburg, W.
"I want to see that the law Is en
forced ih this county,” said Mr.
Smith. "I want to get after not
only the bootleggers, but the pet
ting parties."
The alleged lawlessness that pre
*n, the county, dnd the laxity
of officials, was the subject of the
Informal discussion.
Councilman Ben Brouner, of
j Hyattsville, who has jnade an ex
j haustlve Investigation into condi
: tions In the county, startled the
audience when he denounced the
State's attorney, J. Wilson Ryon,
as being unfit to hold his job.
“I was a member of the recent
grand Jury at Marlboro,” said Coun
cilman Brouner, “and I am ashamed
to Bay It was a grand fake. Influ
ence wgp brought to bear by the
highest county officials to stifle evl
dence that should have been brought
forward.
"We have officers who are sworn
to uphold the law and they are try
ing to break the law as much as any
bootlegger.
"We have men appointed as con
stables and deputy sheriffs and the
like who are bootleggers in every
sense of the word. The sheriff
deputy sheriff, several constables
and the State’s attorney are unfit
to hold-office."
The Rev. T. B. Anderson, of
Laurel, declared the town in which
he lives and has his pastorate is
the. "most depraved town I have
I ever been In.”
He cited Instances of young men
(being ruined by the "pernicious In
fluence of the racetrack and the
bootleggers who ply their nefarious
! trade under our very noses.’’
A solution of the alleged lawless
! condition was advanced by Charles
W. Clagett, Hyattsville town coun
sel. He urged the appointment of
county police, who would patrol the
• roads on motorcycles,
i G. W. S. Musgrave, of Laurel,
advocated the discarding of party
politics in the November election,
and urged the members of the asso
ciation to vote for men of their
choice.
i "Don’t let the scalawag, gambler
and tout run your politics for you,”
he said.
i Other addresses were made by
the Rev. J. H. Strong, pastor of
the Hyattsville Baptist Church; W.
A. Brooks, Prof. Patterson, and the
Rev. Dr. Cannon, of the Hyattsville
Methodist Church South.
Mayor Rushe appointed the fol
lowing committee to draft a plan
, of action;
j 1 G. W. S. Musgrave, Mrs. H. J.
Patterson, W. A. Brooks. J. Fred
.Keefauver and J. H. Blandford.
I It was decided to meet every
Monday night in the town M at
Hyattsville until election.

"What was the matter with
him?"
“He danced too much."
“He should have recovered from
that before the next afternoon."
“Yes, sir. But he danced with
another man’s girl. So I had to
take the car out. At Florida

was a big truck in front of me
and I couldn’t see when we got
to the car stop.”

about 2 Inches to spare as it was.’
"I had to stop suddenly be

it was an ambulance at first,
it was going so fast, and I put
on my brakes and held out my
hand at the same time. I have
two witnesses who saw me give

“That hand saved you a fine.

“This man was operating a

"A feller over in Baltimore told

Pungent Odor of Loaded
Sweets Arouses Suspicions
of Liquor Sleuths.
Fifty pounds of rum-filled bon*
bons, each containing a thimble
ful of imported rye, Scotch or
cordial, were dumped into the pi#
at the Georgetown customs house
yesterday afternoon.
The liquorful chocolate drops
proved "spirituous" fuel, and when
they were fired residents about
Thirty-first and M streets north
west mistook the bursting of.the
bonbons for a premature celebra
tion of the Fourth of July.
Owned by Merchant.
The "charted’' candy was the
property of C. M. Guggenhetmer, a
wealthy merchant of Lynchburg.
Va., and is the first ca*e_ of the
kind to come within the jurisdiction
of the Georgetown customs house.
Were it not for the tact that
some of the ‘loaded" sweets over
flowed in transit and emitted "that
unmistaable odor" the precious con
signment would probably have
reached Its destination.
Aocerdlng to law, notice of the
seized consignment was posted at
the customs office in Georgetown
and Guggenheimer notified in order
that he might file a protest th
the Secretary of the Treasury.
Instead, Guggenheimer requested
that the candy be destroyed.
Contents,of Boxes.
The contents of the packages is
made up of pound boxes, each box
containing two layers of ordinary
looking, oblong-shaped chocolate
drops, twelve drops to the layer.
Close examination shows the candy
to be lined, apparently, with a com
position sugar-crystal, similar to
that forming the old-fashioned Easter
egg—the kind you looked trough at
one end and saw a tiny snow scene
at the other. This lining is water
and liquor proof. Each separate
piece of candy contains about one
thimbleful of rye, or Scotch, or cor
dial. Actual experiment proved that
each pound of candy, if "drawn off,”
yields exactly one man-size drink.
BRING SUIT FOR ALLEGED
FAILURE TO MOVE CHURCH
P. Dudley was named defendant
In a suit filed today In the District
Supreme Court by A. D. Holder,
trustee of Ward Memorial African
Methodist Episcopal Church, for
$5,000 damages for breach of con
tract.
Plaintiff, represented by Attor
neys J. W. Glennan and M. C.
O'Brien, alleges that he made a con
tract with defendant to remove the
frame church and parsonage from
one site to another and that the con
tract, which was made April 19,
1922, was to be completed in sixty
eight working days. The building
was located at 100 Manning street
northeast, and Its new location was
to be at 42 Brooks street northeast.
Holder complains that fourteen
months have elapsed, and that the
buildings have not been placed as
agreed upon. Plaintiff tells the
court that the condition of the build
ing is endangered by the Jacks and
supports of the church having been
removed. He sayß he has also been
deprived of the use of the church
and has lost the revenue usually de
rived therefrom.

THIS MU ILL
ST SHORTEST
FOR THE
ourth of July and First Closing
Saturday Make Week Short
est of Year.
This Is the shortest week for
Washington merchants and busi
ness houses in twelve months, it
was announced today by the Mer
chants and Manufacturers Associa
tion.
There will be but four business
days this week, through the con
junction of the Fourth of July,
Wednesday, and the first Saturday
closing for this season.
The first Saturday closing day
usually comes in the week fol
lowing of July and the
last Saturday closing is planned
for the week prior to Labor Day,
so that no week will be shorter
than five business days.
Owing to the extreme heat early
this summer and to the abnormally
brisk business conditions which
have held through the spring
months, it was announced, the mer
chants decided to observe the first
Saturday after July 1 as the first
full day closing, despite the fact
that it falls in the same week
as the Fourth.
Owing to the unusual condition
this week many employes are ask
ing that they be pennitted leave
Thursday and Friday of this week
so that they may take advantage
of the double holiday for a brief
trip out of town before taking up
the summer campaign. It is indi
cated that these requests will he
granted wher*ve- possible without
injury to business.
While a slight slackening of
business has become apparent dur
ing the past week, busliwss condi
tions in Washing Son are still InboVe
normal for the fsoason, it was
stated, and local merchants antici
pate a good summer business*
BUREAU TO
CLASSIFY
WORKERS
*
Present Allocation Is Tempor
ary, Only Being; Done for
Budget Purposes.
The reclassification situation
affecting Federal employes was
clarified today by officials of the
Personnel Classification Board.
There will be no oral hearings
on the problem of allocation be
fore December at the earliest,
Frederick L. Bailey, the new
chairman of the commission, an
nounced.
Present Work Temporary.
The present allocaUon of District
employee is being made for budget
purposes only. The permanent
classification, which is regarded by
the personnel board as a continuing
and perfecting process, probably
will not be undertaken until next
winter.
The personnel estimates will not go
into the Budget Bureau on August
1, hilt oft Oaptefiiber 16, ft was an
nounced. The personned classifica
tion board expects to be able to ap
prove all of the tentative depart
mental allocations in advance of
that time.
Classification of the field service,
however, will not be completed be
fore November, and estimates for
the field personnel will hot go to
the Budget Bureau until that time.
Charles A. Harbaugh today was
chosen as secretary of the person
nel classification board. He has
been acting as one of the executive
assistants in the Budget Bureau
temporarily assigned to the board.
Asked to Delay Hearings.
All of the employes’ union prob
ably will be requested in the next
few days to defer requests for oral
hearings until after December.
It is emphasized that the board
will have all it can accomplish in
the meantime in making the alloca
tions on the basis of data already
assembled. Briefs from the va
rious employes represented will*be
considered in the meantime.
Employes of the steamboat in
spection service recently tpade an
urgent request for a hearing on the
problems of reclassification in the
service, and will be Informed in
the near future that no hearings
will be held until December or Jan
uary.
Chairman Bailey, in discussing re
classification today, emphasized Bis
belief that a tribunal similar to
the personnel board would have to
function continuously from this
time forward to handle all the de
tailed problems of classification. He
said that genuine classification was
the work of years, particularly as
new positions are being created all
the time. He expressed confidence
that all Federal workers would be
satisfied with the board’s work
when the full program and policy
are unfolded.
