setts was formed IN his fathers kitchen
and how he went to war when less than
10 years old to fight the battles of the Re-
publican party.
"But one day when I went to vote in
ward three in Portland, - he said, ST put
my ballot on thu ballot of the most nOtO-
rlOus rum seller in Portland and the next
most notorious rumselIer put his ballot
on mine. And l stopped right there and
said what under High Heaven are you
doing?' The next time L voted J wrote
Neal DoW's name on a piece of paper as
my candidate for Mayor. When the bal
lot clerk counted it, he said 'tHers's
Pear son S ballot and it's scattering. -
Perhaps I felt bad I got up on a settee
and said that that ballot would be scat
tered until it was victorious and I Ii we'd

Mr. Pearson talked to the men in the
audience as does the soubrette in the
variety show ''Why don't you applaud,
you fellows there, - he said. "Oh, I've
got you on the grid iron and I'll roast
you good, We roasted en- eleven weeks
In Cumberland county. The day before
election I drove fifty miles and talked
seven hours and perhaps didn't roast
them good.

hear them saying now, 'That's Sam Pear
son, he's crazy over this rum business, ,
Now when l go down the street they say
'There goes the sheriff ELECT. The greatest
politician in the State and one of the
dirtiest politicians In Maine wrote me
saying Dear brother-Nothing succeeds
like success, and wrote him to get onto
the band wagon and have little of it,;
but he'll have to take back seat and
hang his legs over the tailboard. -
Mr.. Pearson after telling OF the predic-
tions of calamity to befall the city of
Portland if the law be enforced, said:
''There are 400 saloons in Portland to-
night. No, there are nine less because
nine of the biggest of the rumselIer5 saw
my shadow going down the street a week
ago and got frightened. Three of them
three we never could touch before, have
sold their fixtures and I don't know but
they've gone over to New Hampshire to
meet their friends Emery told about -
Mr.. Pearson predicted that enforcement
would better conditions in Portland by
diverting the money now paid the liquor
sellers to legitimate trade. Then he told
another story to illustrate the way some
people he meets look on his programme.
II wen5 to prominent man in Port
land - he said, and asked him If he was
a Prohibitionist. He said I'm as good
a Prohibitionist as you be.

said, and then he said he had mortgage
on that hotel and IL it was seized he
would lose and SO he wouldn't give a
cent. That kind of man has backbone
of tape and string and his head Is like
cocoanut. Whsn you shake it you can
hear the brains slosh around inside.''
Much Of Mr.. Pearson's speech was a
repetition of what he has said before. He
held the attention of his audience but
the applause was not particularly loud or
frequent.

MANY INVOLVED.
The Chicago Insurance Frauds In
creasing in Magnitude.

Chicago, October 1O.-Laura Carroll Is
named as another victim of the insurance
conspiracy syndicate. said to be headed
by Or. August W. Unger. The physician
used her, it is said, as a subject on whom
to take out policies in a game similar to
that which was attempted with Marie
Defenbach,
The Carroll woman disappeared four or
five months ago. During her residence
here she was an intimate friend of Miss
Defen bach and is alleged to have been a
patient and sweetheart OF DIR. Unger's s..
Miss Carroll was about % years of age.
She was an orphan and had a guardian,
DR.. Gustave Schmidt, living in MilWau-
kee.
During the six or eight months that f.
WayIand Brown was managing the
Mooney and Boland office here, an unus-
ual number OF stenogra piers were en-
plOyed. The subsequent disappearance OF
many OF them is now deemed a matter
worth looking into as likely to show
effort to defraud on a much larger scale
than has yet been brought to light.
The SUBJECTS on which the syndicate
secured insurance with fraudulent intent
are all believed to be women, while the
active members of the organization are
men. There are indications that the Or
ganizatiOn has much wider scope than
was first thought. 1t is asserted by de-
tectives that at least two score of people
are criminalIy connected with it.

Does Not Commit Government
To All Suggestions of France.

Washington, October 10.-The reply OF
the United States government to the lat
est note from France offering suggestions
as to the settlement of the troubles in
China, was completed late today and de-
livered to M. Thiebaut, charge 'affaires
of the French embassy. By him it was
forwarded Immediately to his govern
ment. mo official statement OF the con-
tents OF the answer was obtainable. Fol-
lowing It's infiexible rule the State De-
partment declined to make public the text
of the communication or to make any
statement of the nature OF it's contents
until opportunity had been afforded for
it's reception by the French foreign office.
1t is believed, however, to take IA
vorable view Of the suggestions submit
ted by the French government, in a gen
eraI way, although 1t does not commit
this government to all of them.

BLOW KILLED MCCORMICK.

Boston, October 1o.-Jeremiah O'Brien,
a roofer, was arraigned before Judge
Burke in the Municipal criminal court

O'Brien and companion named Edward
@. Mccormick quarrelled over a game of
pool about nine 0 clock last night, as re-
suit of which O'Brien struck Mccormick

blow, according to Sergeant HazIett
knocked Mccormick over. The latter 8
head struck the floor, resulting in frac-
ture of the skull. Mccormick died about
midnight. O'Brien was held without
bail for a hearing October 10. Both men
lived on Tyler street. O'Brien is about
fifty years of age.

President Mitchell Says Other Wrongs

Scranton, Pa, October 1O.-Thousands
of striking mine workers marched in re-
view throughout the crowded streets OF
this city today and showed their loyalty
to the cause for which they have been
battling for several weeks. 1t was the
greatest labor demon stration that has ev-
er taken place in the Lackawanna valley.

thousand persons were gathered around

Ohio introduced the national president of

Mitchell in his speech told the miners
that the proposition OF the operators to
advance wages ten per cent was not
enough, the spontaneity OF the cheering
was surprising and almost startling.

24.-Cattle-Receipts. 100; shipments small. There
were very few fresh arrivals OF cattle this
morning, but good many stale cattle were IN
the pens, and the supply was larger than usual
at this time in the week. There was very lit
tie inquiry for any kind. and comparatively few
transactions were reported. but the sales made
were not generally considered any different from
yesterday. The receipts this week show de-
crease of loo compared with last week and an
increase of over 500 compared with the same
week a year ago. Thus far this year the re-
cefpts are nearly 1000 larger than the same per-
iod last year This has been a very unusual
week in the cattle trade; the receipts notwith-
standing the dull markets last week and the
prospect OF a continuance Of the same, have
been comparatively liberal, and there was tie
usual scarcity Of choice stock. Local packing
houses were complaining of the shortage Of
cars for transporting dressed beef. and conse-
ouently they were forced TO limit their buying
and with very few shipping orders the bidding
from the opening until tho close of the week
was uncommonly backward Most OF the time
IL seemed to be hardly question OF price, but
II was Just impossible to move the supply
There was a gradual reduction in prices. and at
the close of the week many cattle, especially In
the steer line were selling zoe under last week $

will be any material Improvement in the mar
