SUES FOR SO 100000
Heirs of Joseph Banagan Seek Re
dress From U. S. Rubber Co.

Providence, r. L, May 1-Suits for So
100000 were begun today by the heirs OF
the late Joseph Banagan against the
United States Rubber Company. This. is
a continuation of the old rubber litigation
which has already lasted several years
for salary due and for various other
claims against one party or the other.
The present large suit is brought by the
Banagans as old stockholders in the
Woonsocket Rubber company. 1t IS
claimed that the original contract be-
tween the Woonsocket and the United
States Rubber companies guaranteed
that the old stockholders would receive
as much from the trust for each dollar
Of net assets turned over. as was paid for
any other that they bought in The Ban
agan claim is that the trust bought in
one bankrupt concern which they paid
something for nothing and on the same
basis there is considerable more due the
stockholders of the Woonsocket company
than has been paid.

the speaker, are considered by the So
ciaHsts as the formal opening of their
campaign for this year. For the first
time in the history of the Territory

DOUBLE RECEIPTS.
County Treasurer Philips Inaugurates
New system.

County Treasurer Philips has inaugu-
rated a new idea in issuing receipts for
taxes.
payments to be receipted at different
times. When the first payment of
taxes is made the property is enumer-
ated and the receipt for the first half
is issued A space is left on the paper
for the receipting of the second pay
ment. Tax payers should take their re-
ceipt with them to the treasurer's office
when they pay the second half of taxes
This does away with the issuing of a
second receipt and requires much less
time as the property has to be listed
but once.

MUST STOP BUSINESS.
War To the Knife Declared Against
Togus Rum Sellers.

The deputy sheriffs mean war to the
knife with the ToSus rum sellers and
are now actively engaged in putting a
stop TO the sale of liquor in that sec
ton. There has always been an at
tempt TO restrain these people from do
ing business but they are among the
hardest 10 control that can be found in
the whole State. IN 4 great many
eases there seems TO be- no extreme to
which the dealers will not 90 that they
may carry on their work.
When the warfare is carried on most
actively the men then go TO work at
pocket selling and then when the war
cloud lifts they resort u som.. Of their
old time methods. In fact, they are 50
active in their work that the officers
who have had the most experience
with men ~ that stamp say il is prac-
UcallN Impossible to prevent them
from carrying on the business.
But in spite OF this difficulty the
deputy shcriffs have given notice that
the same stringent laws that are be
ing enforced in Gardiner. Hallowell,
and Augusta are 20 be- enforced in that
place. In the past il has been the Gus
OF violation the law q fine. Now there
VIII be- Il change in that line for the
dealers have been notified that if they
arc caught they will b. given a Jail
sentence in addition TO the fine.
Several different parties have al
ready been caught. Trial Justice
Stevens before whom the men are.
brought. has imposed Jail sentences.
The Augusta police have not Of cnurS..
amy Jurisdiction over the doinGs OF the
people in Chelsea. but while the
deputy sherifts are active on the Chel-
sea men, the local police are wasing
war against thoS" who are doing bust
ness On this sid. Of the Chelsea line.
1t is stated that the pocket sellers are
among the hardest men against whom
the officers have 10 contend. Their
method Of operation is to start out
With several quarts in small packages
on their person. When Il person who
il is thought may want a bottle is seen
sign is made and the person drops
a sum Of money on the ground at a
spot where a cross is made. The pocket
seller then goes along and drops a
bottle after picking up the quarter.
one of the old liners in the business
says that he has never been caught in
carrying on business in this way. for,
he says. no sal" is effected since the
law does not prohibit him from Civ
ing away bottle or losing one while
there is nothing in the statutes to pre-
vent his picking UP money that he
finds in the road.
