LIQUOR case w. A. Wilkes, has presented
to the supreme court a petition for re-
hearing based on ten counts, the first
being that the case was assigned for con
eideratlon to j Judge Bennett, who died
and the opinion was then prepared by
Judge Fuller who was not a member OF

argued and that the case had not been
considered by the court with reference

showed that brewing was going on and
a large Invoice of beer in barrels, malt

was q place where intoxicating liquors

NEAL, DOW.

Dow how when q young man he o
mp the weapons In the war against the
liquor traffic, and when but 81 won his
first battle. He p~ersevered, knowing
that IL he could but arouse the temper
ance sentiment, that the movement
would grow as the years progressed.
He was called o crank, and was sub
iected to the hardest persecution, but
being Of . stubborn fighting disposition,
he did not lose courage. The prohibi-
tory law which has made tbs State OF
Maine famous, and In which no flaw has
been found by the shrewdest lawyer.
was the result of Dow's efforts. Rev.
DR.. lei. Ell. Wells related how when i'm
England he had gone down into the
crypt under st. Peters and had there
seen all that remained of the great Lord
Nelson and other conquerors Of the con-
tinent. Rev. DR.. Wells said that great
as was the honor due to these men, the
honor won by Neal Dow was even
greater. Dow had won a greater
battle. IL was q battle which
had saved a nation from degrade
ton. 1t was impossible, said
the speaker, to realize the terrible diff.
culties which beset Dow in his first
work. The drinking of Intoxicating
liquors was an established custom, and
was followed by the pastors, who deliv.
cred their best ermon while under the
inspiration of alcohol. Partaking of In
~toxicating liquor was considered the
proper thing. and when Dow came into
warfare with the custom he was called
a fanatic. Such a reform was unheard
of then, but the idomitable will OF Dow,
backed by the conviction OF right, won
battles which have made him as noted
as any OF the great men OF the century.
Exercises of like nature were held at
| several other churches.

A Chicago Methodist Clergyman Attacks
What He Terms King GeOrgeiam.
CHICAGO, March 20. Methodist bish-
p were criticized and the government
of the church roundly scored by Rev.
nj. M. Parkhurst. u Chicago clergyman
of that denomination, at a meeting of
Methodist ministers. The speakers
subject was King Georgeism in the
Methodist Church." and he claimed that
no one not a favorlte OF the
bishops could hope for preferment. DR..
Parkhurst said there was an elect Four
Hundred of the Methodist church
which controlled the movement of the
bishops by the strength of the position
which their dollars gave them. The
preachers who opposed the rule OF the
rich few knew the bishops were power
less to protect them against the attack
of the mobiles. Radical change in the
government of the church was proposed.
The address created q sensation.

Amounts TO he Expended by this Con-
gress Compared with the Last.
WASHINGTON, March 2O.-The total
of appropriations of the present session
of congress will exceed by q few millions
the appropriations of the first session OF
the last congress. No official statement
has been made by Chairman Sayers on
the members of the appropriation com
mittee, but q comparison of the bills
already passed or reported with those
of the first session Of the last congress,
shows that the total Of bills as they
leave the house win be about 1856, 49,
597. The senate usually increases the
bills materially; last year securing in
creases reaching a total of %, 900, 900, 90
that the aggregate for the present SEES
sion is expected to touch 1910, 000, 600.
Eight of the great appropriation bills
have already been reported to the house
and three of them have been passed.
The total of these in their present stage
Is 800, O41, Toy. This Ia about $4,000, 900
more than the same bills carried two
years ago.
OF the bills yet to be brought into the
house no exact estimate Ia obtainable,
owing to the care with which such bills
are guarded. These are the agricul.
tural, Indian, Legislative, navy and river
and harbor. Last congress they carried
e77 ,494, TIT. In this the estimates are
for $62, 800, 900. Should these bills be
passed as estimated the total ~appropria.
lions would be almost identical with
those of 1923.

lege squabble appears to be coming to
the surface. The resignation OF three OF

considerable opportunity for political
wire pulling and between the
governor and President McLouth,
the Watertown Public Opinion charges
that there Is 70 end OF log-rolling. Nc
Louth is anxious to have favorites OF his
W appointed on the board, while Gov
n Sheldon Is said to desire an ap-
pointment which will carry with 1t a
delegation from Brooklngs county to the
next state convention. The faculty de-
sire the appointment OF DIR. Collier, a
very popular man in the city, but when
it comes to carrying the city and county
too, for the governor it is thought he
would be in a hopeless minoritys Then
Public Opinion gives it out cold, that
Watertown has two candidates for q
place on the board, Doane Robinson, the
poet. and III. M. Finnerud. The latter
is a candidate independent OF any fac
ton or college ring, while Mr.. Robinson'E
attitude to wards the McLouth regime

MORE PROTECTION.
A Further Duty to Be Put on Sugar
ON Account OF the Addition OF b
Color Test.
The Abrogation of the Reciprocity
Treaties Also Incorporated In
the Bill.
An Estimate Of the Amounts Appro-
priation Bills of This Congress
VIII Carry.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-The Demo-
cratic members Of the senate committee
On finance have completed their work
ON the tariff bill, and will submit
changes which they have made in the
bill az drafted by the subcom-
mittee, at q meeting Of the full commit
tee to be held during the afternoon.
The principal changes which they
have made in the bill are
in the sugar schedule, and
that has been modified 70 10 to take
into account the color as well as the
polarization of sugar. The change
made will add one-eighth OF . cent per
pound on the color test. so as 10 insure
to the refiner this much protection.
This In in accordance with the original
intention OF the counties, hut g has
been claimed that the bill o. at a6rst re-
ported to the full committee would dis
criminate against the refiners.
Declaration Against R~eoiprueity.
IL il understood that the bin win be
amended 90 al to make positive declare
tions for the abrogation Of the recipro-
cities treaties made under the Mckinley
acts. This win be done simply TO sat
isfy the sugar men and leave no doubt
q to the intention Of the bill in this
respect and not because the Democratic
members OF the committee have any
doubt that the bill O. il now stands
would accomplish this purpose.
No Eliminate Hawaiian Matters.
It 10 also probable that the clauses in
the bill abrogating the Hawaiian treaty
will be struck out. There has been
some contention among the Democratic
members ON this score, and two or three
votes have been taken upon . PROPOSE
tion TO strike 10 out, o majority mt first
opposing this change. The principal
argument which has been made for it
was based upon the ground of ex-
! pediency, and it has been urged that it
1t should be permitted to remain it
would be the means OF introducing rhe
Hawaiian complications into the tariff
bill discussion. All have agreed that
this should be avoided, IL possible, with
out surrendering too much, and the
latest reliable statement Ia that this
argument has won, and that
the amendment win be stricken out.
These, together with the restoration
of the present law regarding the tax on
domestic cigars, will be the principal
changes made. The lead ore duty and
whisky tar, as well as the duty placed
upon coal and iron ore, will remain a.
placed in the bill by the Democratic
members. There win be q few change:
in the fruit schedule, and q
few minor articles which wert
taken from the free list and made
dutiaDle will be restored TO the free List
The bill when it next sees light, viii
also show several changes in the admin
istrative part Of the bill, and thu
amendment inserted by the members 81
the committee providing for the repea
of the entire Mckinley act will be mod
flied, to either specify what portions Of
that act shall remain in force, or to no
peal the parts in conflict with the pend
ing act.

SANG FOR HIS r

The Dksngr0eable Alternative Frederick
Augusens Presented 60 Musician Abel.
John Abel, q celebrated singer and
musician who lived I'm the reign of
Charles II. had y very great notion OF
himself and would not perform unless
be pleased. There IL d funny story told
Of how he was once made TO sing against
his will.
While travelling abroad for pleasure
he came into the town Of Warsaw. News
was brought 10 the palace OF the famous
English singers arrival, and Frederick
Augustus, the king Of Poland. immedi-
ately sent word that he desired Abel to
appear before him.
.'Tell his majesty" replied John curt
", s'that it suits me not"
Back went the court messenger with 9
wry face. He knew his masters temper
too well.
"Teli Master Abel" Numbered the
king, shat I will have him comet And
take you, boy, three stout fellows with
you"
The messenger and the three stout fell
lows between them managed TO carry
ont the royal wish and presently march.
ed triumphantly up TO the palace with
their unwilling captive.
The king was awaiting them in the
great hall, where he had seated himself
IN a balcony that ran all round the sides,
Above him an immense chair hung from
the roof by a rope.
"Now. then, into the chair and mp with
him." cried Frederick Augustus, with Q
chuckle. "We1l soon see il our song
bird won't sing in his cage. Up with
him, my merry men air.
And mp in the air swung Abel, whe
still refused to open his mouth. When hs
gave d glance downward, however, HI
changed his mind. Into the hall beneath
MIN anumDer Of wild bears had beer
turned loose.
"Sing, sirrahr' the king shouted, ''ol
down you 20 to play with my brown ba
bies."
One look at those brown babies,
growing and snarling below in q yer,
unhabylike manner, wassufficient tocon
vince the stubborn John. Sing he did
and he often used to declare In afte
days that he never sang so well in hi
life as when he was hanging there, a hun
bred feet high above the fierce beasts
