SUNDAY LIQUOR RAIDS.
Evidence OF Illegal Business Found at
Two Places.

Sunday still continues to be bad
day for illegal liquor sellers in Worces-
ter, and yesterday Sergt. George H.
Hill, with his liquor squad, captured
two more violators of the liquor law.
Miss Ann Flaherty, living at los Me-
chanic street, has been under the eye
OF the police for some time, and yes
terday it was decided to pay her Wis
it. The officers made a thorough
search of her house and found only a
few empty bottles. AS AIMS numer-
Gus callers every Sunday for several
weeks past have convinced the officers
that she did little business, a search
of the house did not suffice. The ash
pile received thorough overhauliEg,
and 125 bottles OF ale were found mes
tied together about a foot from the
surface.
Sergt. Hill and Officers Bulger
Knight and Keyes, who constituted
the SQUAD, next called on John O'Hara
at 3 Howard street, and, without even
consulting the ash pile, 30 bottles of
lager. "a bottles of ale and one quart
of whisky were discovered about the
house. Both parties will probably be
in court before Wednesday.

edited the conference with a recital of
his experience in handling trusts in the
Lone Star state. He had heard it said
in certain quarters that it was the pur-
pose of the orfginators of this confer
encc to give to it a political complex
ion. This statement he refuted in Wig
orous terms. 1t was the conception OF
the originatOrs that this conference
should be entirely informal, simply for
the purpose of discussing remedy for
controlling the trust evil He urged
the enactment of uniform laws for
the states to this end. The conference
then recessed to $50 p. m.
At the evening session Governor Haz-
en- S. Pingree, of Michigan, delivered an
address, which was closely listened to,
and frequently applauded.
In the course of his speech he said:
1.-THE Chicago trust conference was
of great value because it separated the
chaff from the wheat. 1t did much to
clarity the subject. 1t was of educa-
tional value. But its principal beneht,
to my mind, was the revelation it gave
US of the position which the advocates
of the trust, rather the trusts them
selves, would take
THE trust can be abolished by law
Public sentiment VIII compel it. What
form, therefore, shall that law take?
In the absence of a uniform state
law, a federal law is necessary 1t
should be a drastic law. 1 have no
sympathy with the sentiment for reg
uIation. That is the remedy of the
trusts 1t would result in their regu-
lating themselves as they saw fit. Their
allies and newspapers urge it. There
fore, it is open to suspicion
1.-The only way to cure the evil is to
stamp it out effectively. a federal law
will do it It is a disease and the
surgeons knife is the only remedy.
Prevent the monopoly and the trust
will die a natural death. Federal law
if honestly framed will do this. To my
mind the only question really before US
is the machinery of such a law 1t
should make monopoly and excessive
Capitalization of capital impossible
Whether it should do that by combining
a corporation to one kind of business,
or limiting the size of it's investment
or otherwise is one of the problems to
be solved. There should be public ex-
animation to prevent fraud The ex-
pense account should be open to in
spectiOn to discover the bribery fund
Inhuman methods Of destroying COM
petition, like those used by the oil
trust by lowering prices and raising
of business should be made impossible.
The further discussion, thought and
study of the question, 1 am satisfied
will enable congressman, if they are
honest and loyal to the people, to frame
a law to destroy the trust
'sOur first duty. I think. is to direct
all our energies towards making such
a law possible and to accomplish its
enactment
At the close of Governor Pingree's
remarks the committee on resolutions,
which had been in session during the
evening, asked for more time and the
conference adjourned until o'clock
this morning, when the committee will
be ready to report.

Ned Hanjon Says There Is No Chance
to Beat Out the Brooklyns

New York, Sept. 21.-Ned Hanlon, in a
card to the Journal, says: If at any
time during the present National
League baseball doubt existed that the
Brooklyn club would win it by a good
margin I have dispensed with the
thought.
Il cannot see how any team in the
league can beat US now. My only fear
earlier in the race was that something
might happen to some one or two of
my regular fielders, and that their
forced absence from the game would
disOrganize our full strength.
But that period has passed. We are
now safe in the lead, that to overhaul
