The announce-' ment of the new highways was made in connection with the submission of the list to the Federal government. | The increased mileage, which total 911.5 miles, brings the length of the state system to 5,039.5 miles.

Judge Soper, in charging the Jury, told them that their verdict must be considered as passing: upon the question of whether the beverage manti- ! factored by HiH was intoxicating. IHe said the issue of intoxication must be decided on the question of whether or not 'a practical amount” consumed by any man would produce drunkenness. 1 Hill, who has long been opposetL to the prohibition laws, shouted with glee when the verdict was returned. | “Well, boys, you can make all the wine you want now,” he said. “1 always did have faith in the common sense of these Maryland Juries.” The courtroom was Jammed when the verdict was read and there wqre cries of approval, despite warning of the judge. A dramatic story, as to what transpired in tlie jury room as the 12 men argued over justification and manufacture of home brew was told when Jurymen left the box after returning their verdict. It developed that the deadlock over the case was finally broken when eleven of the jurors favoring acquittal appealed to the holdout on the ground that Christ, as recorded in the Bible, recognized the utility of wine. Last midnight 10 of the jurors had been convinced that a verdict of not •guilty should be returned, at 1:30 a. ill. of the two Robert Stevens the foreman. was swung over. Then the eleven concentrated on Sebastin J. Linz, a grocer. "I am a prohibitionist and opposed to wine, cider, beer and everything I else, no matter how much alcohol it contains. ' Linz told his fellow jurors. | Don’t you read the Scriptures ’’ one of his opponents asked. “Don’t you know that Christ blessed wine? Do you think yourself superior to Christ ?” The argument went on for hours and hours and ft was not until breakfast time that Linz delented from hiposition and decided to agree on a not guilty- verdict with his fellows.
