INTERVIEWED MAYOR BEAL.
Bangor Chief Executive's Plain Talk to
w. @. T. U.

Bangor, January 1S.-On Monday at
ternoon Mayor Beal was waited on by
a committee from the W. G. I. u, and
asked to enforce the prohi bitory law In
Bangor.
The delegation was headed by Mrs. L.
M. N, Stevens of Portland, and she had
with her four women Of the Bangor
union.
Mrs. Stevens was,as matter Of course,
the spokeswoman of the delegation.
She went at the mayor fatty, with a
demand that he enforce the prohibitory
law in Bangor at once.
Mrs. Stevens" said the mayor, 81
would do SO did I know that the MAORI
ty Of the citizens here desired such a
move.'
"What proof of the public sentiment
would you desire?" asked Mrs. Stevens.
81 should call the opinion Of the ma
iority of the voters,'' said the mayor,
IA fair test of the public opinion of the
city"
f Mrs. Stevens had a book in which were
printed extracts of the Maine laws. She
started to read some of these to the may
or, but he asked to be excused.
"The laws. said the mayor, ''are for
all of us. 1t is our privilege to use
them. They cannot be invoked excepting
according to set rules, but they are there
for our benefit. If we think they are be-
ing broken we can go to the court and
enter complaint and l assure you that
the officers of the law here will see to it
that the case is prosecuted. The law is
for every citizen of the state. The may
or is not under any primary obligation
TO enforce the liquor law. The sheriff
is not under any obligation, either. The
sheriff or the police authorities are es-
tablished in Office to set the laws in mo-
ton on the complaint of citizens. If
the laws are being violated anybody can
complain.
S"But,'' said Mrs. Stevens, "there is q
5acit understanding between the police
authorities and the saloon keepers regard.
ing the conduct of the business.
ST admit it, !" replied the mayor, seeing
a point worth selling. "There is an
understanding and the result of 1t is this.
Every man in the liquor business in
Bangor knows what is required of him
as we'll as if it were written in the law.
He knows that he must shut up his
place at 10 O'Clock, that he must not sell
liquor to boys and that he must SO con-
duct his establishment that there shall
be no disorder in it,.
.What proof of public sentiment will

before she arose to go.
II shall need" said the mayor, 'ex-
actly the proof you would need. shall
want the same proofs that would be nee
essary to convince any reasonable per-
son.
Mrs. Stevens assented to the propriety
Of the point.
The ladies left the mayor after long
interview. They were pleased with the
courtesy Of their reception.
ssWe are real glad we came to see you,
anyway" said Mrs Stevens, as the dele

J. GINS Campbell.

worldly goods and sign this player who is
acknowledged to be the brightest star in
the polo armament. But when Campbell
was in Rockland, the managers OF that
team wanted the price of kings ransom
for this player, and Manager Burnham
could not afford to pay the sum demanded
for Campbell's release. 1t was due to this
players efforts that Rockland was able to
land the championship last season, and he
is in far better condition this year than
he has ever been before.
But for once Dame Fortune played into
the hands of Manager Burnham. New
Bedford in the National league, was a
tail ender and in very poor shedding. The
attendance in that city was poor and the
New Bedford team was not proving o
great magnet in any of it's games in other
cities. Something had to be done and that
quickly New Bedford could not afford
to buy Campbell, but other teams in the
national league could and SO the muniti-
cent sum of $500 was paid Rookland for
Campbells release and he went to New
Bedford. This was the first move. But
Dame Fortune continued to spin her
threads and New Bedford went to pieces
as a club and withdrew from the league.
Campbell was assigned to Salem but that
team has some of the best rushers in the
business, and even CampbelI's services
were not needed TO strengthen the organ
ization Manager Burnham got his work
in at this point and before New Bedford
had been out of the National league day
he had signed Campbell.
With j. Gus Campbell as Portland's
first rush the home team will be able to
handle the best of them. He will be here
on Thursday night in time to help Port
land do up Dick Furbush's Indians from
Lewiston, and pull the home team up one
more rung on the ladder. Portland has
always been a warm admirer of this fine
player, and now that Manager Burnhan
has succeeded in getting him the town
will probably go polo crazy.
Manager Burnham is entitled to the
su port of all lovers of the sport from
this time out. He is after that champion
ship and with his present team he ought
to land it. He has lived through the
winter of his discomfort and now should
bask for awhile in the sunshine of
crowded houses.
A disquieting rumor comes from Lewis
ton, however. 1t is reported that the
Lewiston management has signed two
national league players to come to Maine
and help Lewiston trim the Portland
tam. One of these men is John Smith,
New Bedford S goal tender, and perhaps
the finest man in the business today. The
other man is Menard of the Providence
team. Menard is considered to be the
cieverest second rusher in the country.
With these two men Lewiston hopes to
land in first place. and if thes players
come to Portland next Thursday night
the game will be the hottest thing ever
seen here.
But Portland has Campbell to lay back
on any way, and with him and the other
fine players now with Portland the sports
feel confident that they can do up Lewis
ton anyway.
