SHORTAGE OF $4,000
Charged Against Es-TaS Collector E. 7. Miles
OF Hudson. Mass.

Hudson. Mass. San 30.-A profound
sensation was occasioned here. late
tonight. when it became known that
Edward r. Miles. for several years tax
collector of the town of Hudson. and
man who had heretofore been held
in high esteem by all the citizens. had
teen arrested upon warrant charging
him with being "A defaulter in the sum
OF $4,000 Being unable TO secure bail
he was locked up in the police station.
He will be arraigned i'm the district
court. tomorrow.
Mr.. Miles was first elected collector
in 1896. and for three years his bonds
were furnished by security company.
In 1899 the company was unwilling lon
ger to carry the risk and it was taken
by - of the leading men of the town
who had every confidence in his hon
esty at that time.
In 1890 Mr. Miles was again re-elect-
ed. but this time he was unable to OBJ
tain securities and he resigned the of
fee, beng succeeded by Daniel j. Nc
Carthy. At the close of 1900 the amount
of uncollected taxes was nearly Sll.00
but since that time he has turned into
the treasury some SluoV. his bOndSlnen
have been considering the situation for
some time. and the outcome is that
the meeting was held. tonight. Mr..
Miles was present and after the matter
had been thoroughly discussed a war
rant was sworn out for his arrest. and
he was taken into custody.
F. u. Apsley. one Of the bondsmen,
would say nothing except that the de
falcation covered a period of several
years, and that most of the loss would
fall upon the security company which
furnished his bonds during those years.
He further said that Mr.. Miles arrest
was one of the most unpleasant duties
he had ever been called upon TO en-
gage in.
Mr. Miles was seen at the police sta
ton after his arrest and when asked
as to the cause of his downfall. said
that business troubles were at the
bottom of it: that he had not been
able to pay the expenses of his shoe
business and had used the towns mon
ey for that purpose. The amount TAX
en-, he thought, was about the same as
stated in the warrant.
Mr.. Miles. who had lived in Hudson
nearly all his life. is about 80 years of
age and has wife and one daughter

TYPICAL AMERICAN BATTIESHIP.

Seven of the most formidable warships
designed by any nation are immediately

have been let under contract by the navy
department in the last month. The other
two are provided for by the current naval
appropriation bill. to cost altogether

about SJG.tt0,OOO
The battery reckoned upon for the new
warships consists of four Finch. four
S-inch and IL 6-inch guns, which sur
passes anything hitherto proposed for a
single ship in any navy. The SIS and l. $
are superimpoSed and there are eight o $

with the Grand Trunk Railway ca
for the establishment of a weekly line
Of steamships from Portland. Ne "a

navigation.
Portland will thus be the Grand
Trunk port all the year, and the CON-
pany's Western traffic which has here.
tofore been shipped from Montreal, win
in future be shipped from Portland.
This means that the Grand Trunk
with new elevator and dock at Port

The Grand Trunk managers state
that they have been compelled to make
this arrangement to provide for their
traffic which is expanding month by

The terminal facilities in Montreal
are altogether inadequate to meet this
expansion, and the only alternative
was to get a line of steamers to han

The delay in the construction of ele.

Mrs. Sheriff came to Anthony, late
yesterday, and worked all night pro-
curing hatchets and other implements
of destruction and it was o'clock this
morning before she had perfected ar
rangements for the raid. The women
began their attacks shortly after day
break, taking the saloon keepers and
the town officials by surprise.

down the principal street of the town.
They carried d miscellaneous collection
of axes, hatchets. etc. Several OF the
women were accompanied by their hus-
bands, who however, took little part
in the proceedings.
A saloon in the rear of a drug store
was the first point of attack. Entrance
was effected through back door. The
place contained costly bar fixtures and
quite a stock of liquors. The fixtures
and cash register We're demolished but
the bulk of the liquor was stored out
of sight and escaped destruction.
Half a block further on the second
scene of the crusade was enacted. The
door was locked. but entrance was
quickly made with an axe. While part
of the women gave their attention to
the door, the others reduced the plate
glass; front and mirrors to fragments
The proprietor entered when the
smashing process was at its height.
He attempted to stop the work but
came into collision with the husband

with a beer bottle quickly subdued
him.
Two more joints We're visited in
quick succession. Their furniture was
wrecked and the stock of liquor was
emptied into the cutters.
After the work of demolition was
completed. the crusaders held a prayer
meeting on the sidewalk.
