What Gov. Powers Said.
He was Misguided on the Prohibition Que


He Misquoted on the Prohibition CUES
An Augusta special to the Bangor Daily
News says: 1.-The agitation which is going
on in this State over the laxity of the en-
forcement of the prohibitory law is caus-
ing a great deal of comment, and there is
much curiosity as to what will be done at
the great mass meeting soon to be held in
Aroostook county. Gov. Powers was re-
Gently quoted as saying in regard to pro-
hibition:
ssDid | know there was third more
drunkenness under prohibition than under
a license system, | would still insist that
Maine can better serve the interests of
temperance by keeping rum under the
ban of the law than having it sold accord
ing to law and made a recognized bust
ness
The governor, in conversation in rela-
ton to this matter with the News CORE
spondent, said he was misunderstood
and Therefore misquoted on this point
The governor said that the talk he had
with correspondent in regard to this
particul point was not reduced to writ
ing and some things in the purported in
terview he did not say
SIN answer to the question:" said the
governor ''is there more drunkenness
under prohibition as it now exists in Maine
than there would be under high license?
| said | did not concede it to be SO, but,
even if there was, temporarily, under
the present laxity of enforcement Of the
law, one third more drunkenness, |
should prefer not to legalize the traffic,
but rather to keep it under ban Of the
law, trusting that in the end it would be
better for the cause Of temperance.
Gov. Powers said that it was his opin-
ion, as it is of many others, that at the
present time the law is too laxly enforced.
When the people of Maine demand him to
act in the matter of the enforcement Of
the law, he will be ready to do his duty
as he understands it, under the law.

The Safest model for Fishing Craft.

Insufficient free board is alleged by a
veteran shipbuilder of Nova Scotia to be
the cause of many losses of fishing vessels.
His advice is as follows: 'Apart from
collisions at sea, the loss of at least seven
eighths of the fishing schooners that never
return to port is due to preventable
causes, for which the owners or under
writers are more or less responsible.
When we take into account that many of
the vessels have very low free boards
above their load water lines, which in
some cases are not over Is or 20 inches,
in the event of meeting heavy weather
what are the chances Of making safe
passage? The free board question is GER
tainly the one to be considered, for on it
depends the whole question Of the stabil-
ity and the seaworthiness Of our fishing
boats" Marine journal.

FARMERS HOLD A JUBILEE.
Singing Mckinley Songs ON the
Streets of NoblesviIIe.

Millers of this city yesterday paid IS cents
for wagon wheat and held their breath.
They declared that unless there was an adj
vance in the price of flour they would quit
buying as soon as present orders are filled.
The price of flour has not kept pace with
the sharp advance in wheat and the mill
ers are confronted with situation where
they must either grind at loss or quit
until the export price of flour reaches a
point where it will leave margin.
Fred Adams yesterday reported a peculiar
scene he had witnessed on the streets of
Nobiesville the day before. The farmers
were rushing in their wheat to take ad-
vantage of the high prices and long string
or waiting wagons stretched along the
street, laden with the precious cereal. The
waiting farmers were holding jubilee and
singing Mckinley campaign songs. They
understood perfectly that the era of pros
perity had returned
The bucket-shops have reaped a harvest,
as they usually do, no matter which way
the market turns. The price has been sail
ing upward at such a dizzy gait that most
of the small spectators got frightened and
sold short around SO cents

NOAH BANEY AND HIS PAL
SHERIFF sHUFELTON GOES TO MICH
IGAN CITY FOR THE TWO.
Terms of the ConfessOr and Van Tas-
sci E~pire-TO Be Held for Hen
bricks County Grand Jury.

Sheriff Shufelton and a deputy went to
Michigan City yesterday and will return
this evening with Noah Baney and Guy
Van Tassel, two of the three men charged
by Baney with the murder of Mrs. Hinshaw
at Belleville The term of Kid Whitney,
the third man involved in Baney's confess
sion, does not expire until October. Under
the new law passed last winter, when a
prisoners term expires he is given a suit
of clothes, little cash and ticket to any
point within the State. Thus, to detain
these men they must be arrested at the
prison door, Though Sheriff Shufelton
gave no information of his errand last
evening, it is understood that he has a war;
rant from Hendricks county for Baney and
Van Tassel, charging them with murder
The two men will be detained either here
or in Danville until the Hendricks county
grand jury, which meets next month"; can
investigate the case. 1t is the intention of
the Hinshaw attorneys and the friends of
the imprisoned minister to push the charge
of murder against these three men without
asking the Governor for a pardon for Hin
saw until they, or one of them, is convict
ed. Their success depends altogether upon
the confession of Baney and the steps they
have taken to zorro borate it. Noah Baney
and Van Tassel were sent TO prison in Feb
ruary, 1895, for stealing a keg of whisky
from a wholesale house in this city, and
Whitney was sent up a year later for burg
larry. When HinShaW was sentenced in the
summer of 1885 Tor the murder of his wife,
the preceding January Baney told two or
three people at the prison that he knew
HlnShaW was innocent. A few months
later he told another prisoner that he knew
all about the crime, and this other prisoner,
George st. Clair, was put in the cell with
him in order that he might get the story.
The two men were given some freedom in
their movements and made their escape to-
gether being recaptured the same day. This
stopped matters for nearly a year when it
was taken up again and a confession was
obtained from Baney, very minute in detail
of the circumstances of the tragedy In Or
der to verify his story the attorneys OBJ
tanned from the Governor five days
parole for Baney. He was taken to Belle
vile last week, and in the presence of a
number of witnesses went over the whole
scene of the murder at about the same time
done at each point and how each incident
occurred. Those who witnessed this exhi-
bition declare that all the reading of the
testimony and coaching imaginable could
not have given him the intimate knowledge
of the premises and their relation to the
incidents of the tragedy that he displayed
that night. He was later brought here and
many of the points of his story of events
preceding and following the murder were
verified, and the whereabouts of himself
and his companions were carefully traced
ly in details from that of Hinshaw on the
stand these differences were not irrecon-
cilable from the different view points of
the two men,

THE MONUMENT POPULAR.
Several Hundred of the v. r. C. U.DeI-
egates Go to the Top.

The Indiana soldiers and sailors monu-
ment proved an attractive point for the
visitors in the city yesterday Thousands of
them admired the shaft and the fountains
and between 300 and 400 of them rode up
the elevator to the top of the shaft, where
they could obtain the most advantageous
view of the city. From the top of the mon
ument is the best place in the city to obtain
a view which will convey to the stranger
a correct idea of the city's magnitude and
an impression of its beauty of design From
the monument the city lies spread out like
a map, and with this in the mind travel
about the streets is Simplifed
The visitors to the monument yesterday
were mostly delegates to the Y. Z. c. u.
convention which is now in session. Capt
Wright, the monuments custodian, said
last night that he never had a more appre-
ciative class of visitors. All were loud in
their compliments of the beauty of the
monument in general, and especially of the
fountains. The captain was kept busy eX-
planning the peculiar color of the water in
the large basins. 1t is the same water that
flows from the upper basin, where it APP
pears colorless. But when it reaches the
large basins it takes on a strange blush
tint. Both the upper and lower basins are
covered with cement of the same kind. The
depth of the water in the larger basins
however, gives it the color.

Mr.. DEWAR'S CITIZENSHIP.
Question Raised 10 the Effect on
Councils Past Action.

Democrats in the Council are reported to
nave raised question as to the right of
Duncan Dewar, of the Eighth ward, to his
seat in that body on the ground that he is
foreign born and has never been natural
lied Some who have heard the report say
that If there is anything in the point made
by Mr.. Dewar's colleagues then it is possi-
bic that every ordinance that has been
passed by the present Council, including the
ordinances for park and station house
bonds, We're illegally passed. 1t is said that
the question is so serious that some official
cognizance should be taken of it before the
Council passes any more ordinances, as il
taey We're passed and Mr.. Dewar has no
right 10 vote, their validity might be at
tackled In the courts. The charter simply
provides that a man must be a voter to
be eligible to hold office as councilman. I'm
less Mr.. Dewar were naturalized 1t would
follow that he is not a voter and would
therefore be ineligible to hold the seat he
occupies.

A Fish Commissioners Discouraged.

Deputy Fish Commissioner John New
house was pretty much discouraged in the
efforts he has made to enforce the fish laws
yesterday when James Hymer was ac-
quilted by Judge McCray, of the Criminal
Court. Hymer is a professional fisherman
during the summer and had a, camp at
Broad Ripple. G. E. Ruschman was in the
habit of going out and fishing with Hymer,
and complaints reached Deputy Newhouse
that they were using a trot-line The law
makes it criminal offense to set such a.
line with the intent to take fish. Newhouse
and two constables watched the camp on
the night of July and saw these two men
at work, they claim, taking fish from a
trot-line Their observation was that
Buschman steered the boat while Hymer
took the fish from the line.
Both We're arrested and taken before Jus
tice Likins, at Broad Ripple. Buschman
both were fined $25. The trial yesterday
was upon the appeal, and Hymer was
freed, it is claimed, upon the testimony of
Buschman that he and Hymer had changed
coats, and he, instead of the latter, had
removed the fish from the line. Newhouse
has seven or eight more cases pending, but
remarked yesterday that he hardly thought
it worth while trying to prosecute them.

There is a boy of nine years of age at
the Eleanor Hospital for Children who is
lame ard the attending physician believes
he would be greatly benefited by the use
of a bicycle or tricycle. The managers of
the hospital ask for the donation of such
a vehicle TO the institution. This boy be-
came i'll at the Orphans Home and was
sent from there to the hospital some time
ago. His recovery has been slow and he is
as anxious to have a wheel as the physi-
clan Is that he should, believing that the
exercise will be instrumental in curing
him.
