| SENATE PISSED BUCK
TO THE LOWER HOUSE
Postponed Consideration of Un
amended Local Option Bill.
NOW LIES ON SENATE FILES.
Till Tomorrow Night at 8 O’clock---
The “Dry*” at Variance.
Following the action of the House
last night in substituting a fair local
option bill for Anti-Saloon League
State-wide prohibitory measure, the
Senate almost immediately after meet
ing this afternoon once more “passed
■
poned the consideration of the un
asure, as ,i now'llies on
the Senate files, until tomorrow nigh*
at 8 o'clock.
The bill was called up as the spec ial
order by Senator Warfield,and Son ato i
Johnson at once moved its postpone
ment until tomonow night. This was
oposed by Senator Warfield, and th<
“drys” but on the* roll-call the motion
was adopted by a vote of 13 to 7.
This will give the House an oppor
tuuity to considi r additional amend
ments and to send its bill over to th<
Senate for consideration. This after
noon many of the “wets" showed con
siderable desire for the passage of th--
bill in its present form, while the Anti
Salon forces openly sav it is immate
rial to them whether the measure t<
passed at all if the Mclntosh amend
men put on last night is to stand.
In taking this position, the drys'
stand absolutely at variance with tliei •
attitude of four voars ago. when they
i pushed the Anderson local option bill.
Though i>r. Hare, superintendent of
the League, has given orders to fh<
dry Senators to fight the battle out h
the Senate for the original so-called
State-wide bill without amendment
his colleagues have practically throw
up their hands and quit the fight.
In other words, with the death knelt
of their claimed State-wide featur--
gone., they now prefer that the eiUlr
bill he killed so they will have another
opportunity two years from now to
i make another State-wide prohibition
fight.
Officers’* Hop.
The Superintendent anJ ifficers of
the Naval Acmiemy will hold one of
their series of hope on Friday evening
March 10.
Falling on Friday night this officer's
hop is not one of those to which the
midshipmen are not invited.

Senator Frank M Duvall lias in
troduced a bill appropriating SI,BOO for
making certain changes in the Armory
necessary for the accommodation of
► the new organization, and purchasing
certain equipment. It is proposed to
arrange a proper room and a locker in
room in the basement, it is hoped that
, enough will he left to furnish the com
pany room well and purchase a gym

The company is the only one of the
kind .n Maryland, ami one of the'few
attached to National Gvard regiments
throughout the Fnited States. Great
care has been exercised in the selec

tarts with every prospect of
developing into a notable organization.
One platoon is composed of St. John’,
boys, a number of whom, however,
live in Annapolis, and they are the
iniarv enthusiasts of tire institution.
The members of the other platoon
have also shown great interest, and
► have indicated unusual aptitude in
learning the drill. Altogether, the
company is one in which Annapolitan:
may well have great pride.
During organization, the company
encountered some of the unreasonable
oppositions to the Guard, which is met
in a great many places. On the other
: hand, it has received a great deal of
encouragement and help. Mayor Jas
f F. Strange has shown an active and
[ practical interest in it, and two of his
brothers have become members Mr.

interest in the company,

Let Every Annapo’itan Become a Cru

‘’Emerson C. Harrington is
Affixed to Bill.”
(Communicated.*
Annapolis. Mi.. March 7. T 6.
Editor Evening Capital:
The immediate construction of th**
rotate Hoad connecting Annapolis with
Washington city, byway of Bladens
hurg, is so leatrable that 1 should like
to call the attention of your reader *
lo the impending bill before the pres
•*".t Assembly, which authorizes a loan
for its construction,and to the benefit >
which the Slate Capial will leriv*
from (he improved rot-d-bod hetweei
the National and State Capital.
The desirability of a suitable road
bed between Annapolis and Washing
ton has long been recognized. I a
17!’:'., this road was laid out by au
thority of the General Assembly of
Maryland, which body, at that early
date, recognized the need ot such a
road. It has ever since been an ever
pressing need, and the State Roads
Commission in 11*08, which was au
Ihorized to map out necessary needed
roads, recognizing this fact, planned
this road, but its construction he
never been undettaken. It is a par
ticularly lueded road, for every State
should make its State Capital accessi
ble to its citizens.
Maryland has built good stretches
or roads in remote districts, but the
people living to the west of Annapolis
have no suitable road to reach th
Slate Capital. That these citizens of
Anne Arundel and Prince George coun
ties lesir'* this road, was clearlv
shown recently on two occasions, one.
on the loti, of February, when over
two hundred people and again on the
20th, when over three hundred, at a
prelimianry hearing of the bill in the
inclement weather of mid-winter,
journeyed to Annapolis to show their
desires in this matter. This road
which ihe bill proposes to name the
“National Defense Highway,,’ will be
in the future, an important, road ves
sel Many important and growing
villages, such as Bowie, Laurel and
Odenton, v. 11 be able to tap this r a>'
by building snort branch spurs and
such places, white now remote from
Annapolis, will he put in its environ
ment, wheret they rightly belong.
Annapolis v. ill be so much benefit
ted bv this road, that its citizens can
not afford to have the construction of
the National Defense Highway” de
layed longer. Many persons in Wash
ington (members of the Diplomatic
Corps and wealthy residents., just mi *
people who would patronize our hot**l
and garages, and thus put money in
circulation* have never been here.
They tell you they would like to “rut
down” but the use of their motor cars
under present conditions, is out of the
question and they object seriously to
traveling in a crowded electric car. a
change of cars, and to wait in a
shed for another car. So they do not
come even once, when they would
ptobably be frequent visitors if the
National Defense Highway" was con
structed. Even our schools and col
leges (Naval Academy and St. John’s)
would be ben fitted tor learned au
tliorities in various branches or th*
government work, would journey here
to lecture lefore the students, if the>
could reach here riding in their owi
motor cars over 3 smooth road-bed.
Annapolis was formerly called the
‘Athens of America.” Of course v 'ti
the growth in wealth and size of other
cities which have brought them cul
lured advantages. we hnve no longer
paten* right to this title,,,, but there
is another which may be acquired when
this roadway is completed, probah'v
just euphonious, and that is “Mecca
of the East ” The lure of Washington
, may not be sutfieientfl the lure of An -
i napolis may not be sufficient, hut th
. combined lure of Washington plus
Annapolis, will act as a loadstone
i bringing thousands of patriotic Ame.-
| icans to our city every year. But the
roadbed between the two cities must
be good for this to come about. Two
ears from now (if our Legislature
accede promptly to the demands of
the kcur) 1 should like to read in Tie
newest geographies and atlasses. b-*
following:
"Annapolis, the Capital of Mary
land : an attractive city, situated en
| the banks of the Severn river, near
j the Chesapeake Bay, close to the Cap
ital of # the nation, with which it i
! connected by means of a great bou
levard. called the National Defens->
i Highway.’ ’’
Let every Annapolitan become a
I crusader in this cause and not rest
satisfied until he sees that the nam. of
"Emerson <\ Harrington” has been
affixed to the bill.” CIVI3.

THE WAGES 0E SIN ;
IS ETERNAL DEATH
Ihe Evangelist Faulconcr Preaches
Strong Gospel Sermon to
Large Congregation
COMPARES SIN TO FIRE
That Burns bv Hardening---Sin When
it is Finished Brings Forth Death
—Not Physical But Eternal
Death.
Excoriating siu as the one thing that
| stands between man and God, the wa
ges of which is death, the Rev. Henry
| M. Faulconer preached again last
night at the First M. E. Church.
His sermon was earnest, forceful
and persuasive, an exposition of Ribl*
truths, whose doctrines are devoid
of the language of the streets, and it
| carried weight with every utterance
1 It was a clean, wholesome sermon,
founded on the Gospel, without frill
or furbelows, and Mr. Faulconer did
not play to the galleries in last nighi s
discourse.
He took for his theme "Sin” and
| two texts, one the sixth chapter of
Romans. 33rd verse, first clause of tln
verse, "Now the wages of Sin is
Death.” His second text was the 23rd
verse of Jude, “And others save with
fear,pulling them out of the fire ” The
evangelist likened sin unto fire. He
defined sin as “Any want of Conform
ity I NTO, or Transgression OF tlit-
Law of Goo.” Sin is doing something
to offend God, not doing that which
is right Whenever you fail to do
something tnat God con mands. that is
sin. Sin has done nothing for the
world so far for good.
The question is not how did .-in
eonio into ihe world, but how to get
rid of it. If the ration has typhoid
fever, he does not want to know how
he go it, but how to get well, and rid
himself of the disease. What we want
to do is to get rid of sin. put it out of
our lives. The commission of Jesus
Christ was to put sin out of the world.
The Apostle John sins we have
Fellowship with Him. Fellowship
means partnership. Men who are
partners are in business together, and
failure on ihe part of one Is failure
on the pait of both. If we are it;
partnership (fellowship) with God.,
we should be about our Father's bus
iness. He was manifest to destroy the
works of the levil, and we should be
about the same business.
Sin robbed the sons c f mnsliip and
made them enemies of God. Fire is a
terrible thing, but not so terrible as
sin. with all ts ravages The evan
gelist looked at sin under the nature
of fire and endeavor- d to present thii
phase of it One of the greatest in
lets to the human heart, he h
through the human eye From the eye
which covets ami lusts when it sees,
sin drops into the human heart, and
"sin, when it is conceived, brings forth
death.”
There is no harm in little things,
but tliev are only the beginning, but it
does not stop there. The only way to
deal with sin is to cut its head off.
Sin is the old monster that has
wrecked homes, filled jails and alms
houses. filled the cemeteries and has
loaded hell. The thing you do not see
the evil in, is responsible for all this.
Fire hardens, so does sin. There is
just one kind of sin. and people keep
on committing it.
People are saved through divine
grace. If the seed of wickendness is
in us, there is not one thing w-e
would hesitate to do except for divine
grace. It is only God that keeps us
from doing the things of the devil.
The evangelist illustrated how easy it
is to commit sins more and more hein
ous in the sight of God. by telling of
the hoy who first stoic a nickel, and
his conscience condemned him. He
was afraid to spend it Then ho s:oI
a dime, nexi a quarter, then a half
dollar and a bill, each time with less
compunction of conscience. It is so
easy to sin and sin is such a harden
ing things in our lives, but sin, when
it is conceived, brings forth death
You are living in the height of sin, the
evangelist said, and whatever it is
that keeps Jesus Christ out of our life
brings forth death. Sin caused the
body and soul to separate tc part
company to say good-bye to each
, other. Sin makes you hate th;
church; hate God; hate your mother’,
prayers. Sin, when it is finished,
brings forth death.pby sical and spirit
ual death, but not eternal death. The
fin that you are playing with is like
a deadly, poisonous snake, and it will
bite and sting you a? the last, for the
wages of sin is death, but the gift of
God is eternal life. There are sins of
omission and commission, big and lit
tle sins, but Christ is a remedy for
them all. When you forsake your
sins there is forgiveness, nothing else
j will save you.
* There will be preaching every night I
r this week by Evangelist Faulconer.**
i '•ept on Saturday night. The song
service it at 7.30 o’clock. On next
Sunday afterncon there will be a serv
ice for young people at 3 o’clock. The

LITTLE CHANCE FOR {
ANNEXATION BILL THIS SESSION, I
Fight Annexation Bi!l---Committce to
Report Bills Without Recom
mendation .
Uni > ss the Baltimore city So tutors ‘
reconcile their differences :tn<i unite
on a bill, there is little hope for an
nexation at this session of the I,egis
lature. it is thought.
t hey would have trouble enough to j
induce the count} Senators to fulfill
the promise made prior to the election
and which was incorporated in the
platform, if they were united. Divid
ed as they are, they afford the county
representatives an opportunity to side
step the question.
This was apparent yesterday after
noon when the Senate Committee on j
Judiciary Proceedings met to con
sider the two bills that favored by the
Baltimore city administration and the
measure introduced bv Senator Ogden.
Senator Prick and Senator Norris ex
plained the provisions of the city bill,
and Senator Ogden dwelt on the meas
ure he fathered.
Questions were asked by the other
members of the committee to determ
ine the merits of either, and in tin end
thev com ludet! to report both unfavor
ably. Thoroughly crocsod and very
angrv, the Senators wire not slow to
voice their disapproval ol such sum
mary action, whereupon there was a
that one of the hills be abandoned, As
Senator Ogden is alone in the advo
cacy of his measure, the other three j
Senators favoring the city bill.lt would 1
appear to l> • good politics on his part !
to line up with his colleagues and sink i
his individual opinion.
Unless he recedes, there is little
chance of an annexation bill being
