The fight on the Local Option Bill which is backed by the Autisalooa League, although in the distance, is growing hotter and hotter every day. When the storm breaks there will be Borne loud crashes and sharp clashes.

Superintendent Anderson, of the league, is on the job at Annapolis every day and is in close touch with every development There were three incidents yesterday connected with the fight for and against the local option bill. The first was a warning by Speaker Trippe directed directly against J. Bibb Mills, counsel to the league and indirectly against Superintendent Anderson, warning them as well as all other legislative agents to keep off the floor of the House. The second was a sharp letter from Chairman Xewman. of ihe Temperance Committee, to Superintendent Anderson in reply to the latter's criticism of delay in giving hearings on the Local Option bill.

The third was the "call which regular Democrats have received from their constituents for their votes on Thursday last to order the Baltimore city ballot-boxes, which were wanted in connection the proposed election contests from that'city. Mr. Trippe's Warning-. In his warning to legislative agents which was a thrust at Mr. Anderson Speaker Trippe said: This chamber belongs to the people of Maryland, and they and their representatives shall have free access to it.

The Speaker is charged with the orderly and decent conduct of the business of this House and does not intend to permit the legislative attorney of any association to play politics and lobby upon the floor of the House during sessions- One individual offended last Thursday in this respect, and he is warnec not to repeat it. If he does, the Chair will protect the House. A word to tho wise is sufficient. Anderson Talks. Later in the day Mr.

Anderson gave out the following statement: "I am glad the Speaker specified the day of the alleged offense. Mr Mills, the league attorney, informs me that he did not go among the members or do anything that could by any fair construction be considered lobbying while the House was in session. Personally, I was not in Annapolis at all on that date, and am always extremely careful while the House is in session not to move from the sofas in the rear except for the purpose of leaving the House, and I hare never been upon the floor with out permission to do so in accordance with the rules- Regret More to Unseat Delegates. Members of the House from the counties in which there is a strong sentiment in favor of the local option- bill, regret that a move was ever made to unseat four of the five Republicans from Baltimore, When the order to produce the ballot boxes was gong an grandsons, George H. Zim- introduced on Thursday last many Democrats from those local option counties voted in favor of the order.

They regarded it "as a party measure and voted accordingly. Their constituents were led to believe that behind the contests was an effort to unseat four of the five Republicans because they were committed to the local option bill, the plan being further represented as one to substitute four Democrats who would vote against the bill. Letters and telegrams ponred in on these Democrats. and when the preliminary move was renewed to unseat the Republicans, there were a dozen regular Democrats ready to shift their positions. They had beard in no uncertain tones from their constituents.

Mathlas aad Wilkinson Clash. A lively discussion was precipitated in the Senate following the introduction of an order by Senator Wilkinson asking the appointment of a clerk and a stenographer to be recommended by the Republican Senators. Senator Mathias opposed the order after explaining that he knew that Senator Wilkinson had endeavored to have a meeting of the minority Senators, but had been unable to do COLLEGE PLAYERS BEGIN THEIR SOUTHERN TOUR Basketball Quint to Teams in Neighboring States.

and C. H. Diller. of Detour, about 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, and asked that the girl be given attention. Bohn told the physicians that he and the girl, who had driven from L'nion Bridge, had both attempted to commit suicide by taking laudanum.

From stores at I'niou Bridge, Middleburg and Key-Mar, he said, they had secured, in all. five bottles of the drug. The girl, he stated, had drunk the contents of one of the bottles, and he had himself drunk the contents of three bottles. The fifth bottle, not emptied, he had with him when he arrived at the doctors' office. Four empty bottles, ranging in capacity from half an ounce to 1 1-2 ounces were subsequently found along the road.

All had contained laudanum. Miss Aring was taken into the doctors' office, and treated with antidotes, but the efforts to revive her were unsuccessful and she died at tf.35 o'clock Tuesday evening. The Carroll county authorities were notified, and yesterday morning State's Attorney Weant and Deputy Sheriff Shearer went to Detour and made an investigation, as a result of which Boha was arrested on a charge of manslaughter and taken to Westminster. An autopsy was performed upon the body of Miss Aring this morning, and she was buried at noon today. One of the Drs.

Diller said this afternoon that Bohn, in reply to questions regarding the taking of the laudanum, made a number of conflicting statements. Bohn was several years ago married to a Miss Rentzell, of Key-Mar. She left him some time ago, though they have not been divorced, and it is not known where she it at present.

Many persons have not been ab'c to read the new charter iu its complete form. The say, however, that they are still in of the copy and will maki as complete a study of it as possible before tomorrow night, when the public meeting will be held in the Cit Opera House to discuss it Of several hundred persons who were approached either directly or indirectly by representatives of The Post, only a few were found who sail that they would be unable to attend the public meeting, and these seemed greatly to regret that business or other engagements made their attend auce an impossibility. From this i is thought that a very large percentage of the voters and taxpayers 01 the city will be in attendance at meeting ready and willing to express their opinion of the charter. Several representatives of The Post called upon a number of the business men.

voters or taxpayers, chosen at random, this morning and requested their opinions on two questions concerning the new charter. They were asked, "Are you in favor of the new charier as you understand it," and "Do you think it should be subjected to a vote of the citizens of From some -reports that had been heard in certain places it was thought that considerable opposition would be met to the new charter, but such was not found to be the case, and a large majority declared themselves in favor of it. Likewise nearly person who was approached stated that he was emphatically in favor of a public vote on the question, or some similar expression which would show beyond dispute whether the new charter was the wish of the people. Some said that in view of the delay and expense of an election, they, thought that a vote taken at the public meeting, which would show a percentage either in favor or against the new charter, could be taken. A number of persons expressed their approval of the nieshod in which the new charter was issued to local subscribers of The Post yesterday.

They said that The Post should be congratulated on the supplement, which could not help but move the appreciation of those -who received it- Tile following opinions were given today for publication: Mr. Glenn O. approve of the new charter, because it provides that the mayor and commissioners shall gi practically their sole time to the city's affairs. I also favor good salaries." Mr. T.

Irving think -the new charter is very good, and just what the city needs." Mr. W. H. B. am heartily in of the commission form of government, and I think we need a change in the charter.

I approve of the salaries provided by the new charter." Mr. Charles F. think the town needs a change in its form of government I think the charter prepared by the committee is good, but I think they ought to go slow in having the people adopt Mr. George L. think that the city needs a new charter, and I think the provisions in this one are excellent.

I also favor good salaries for the servants of the city." Mr. Lewis R. am heartily in favor of the new charter, and I think it ought to be adopted. I believe that most of the unfavorable criticisms come from those who-a re not familiar with the provisions of the charter." Mr. Harry have not formed an opinion as to whether or not I would vote for the new charter, for I have not studied it at any great length.

I think that it is strictly up to the people concerning the Arthur Matter. Mr. Anhur Nicholas Ualler died night at home. 213 East Third street, of disease, in his C2rd year. He is survived by the following ihildreu: Lucy Haller.
