HARRISON HUME
DenOunceS Maine Pr0hibitOry
Law in Unmeasured Terms.
Says 1T Has Been, Is and Will Con-
tinue to Be a Farce"
Accuses Officials Of Laxi!y and Implores Maine
TO Take New Stand.

Boston, April AT the dinner Of the
Pine Tree State Club at the Brunswick,
tonight. Harrison Hume, the principal
speaker denounced bitterly the prohi-
bitory act in Maine and assailed the
State officials. condemning Governors,
county officials and judges for their
laxity in enforcing the prohibtory
statute.
The prohibitory law" he said, has
been, is and will continue to be farce.
and in this respect the laws of Maine,
which the non-enforcement OF the pro
hibitory statute has brought about, has
caused Maine Of the present to depart
from the high standard of an other
generation, guided by such men as
Fessenden, Washburn. Fuller, Reed.
Blaine and others of like genius. 1t is
time for Maine to throw away this
mask of hypocrisy"
After a severe arraignment of the
State officials for their laxity he said
that this nOn-enfOrcemcnt was causing
all laws in Maine to be disiespected
from one end of the State to the
other
LAS a result there is growing lawless-
ness" continued Mr.. Hume. "a, shown
by the murder trials which are dis
grazing every county in the State.
prohibition never was and could not
be a success. and it is time for Maine
to stand before the union for honesty
and manhood"
In conclusion the speaker paid = high
tribute to the State as an inspiration
of boyhood days.

Actual changes take place in the lit

changes are brought about by changes
in our habits. For instance. the coffee

corpuscles show apparent fibres, an un
natural condition, which makes trouble
with the heart in cases of coffee pois-

here, Minister Storer has been hard at
work negotiating a whole fabric of

wiped out by the Spanish war. His
first work was the preparation of an
extradition treaty and this is now prac-
ticaliy complete.
Great difficulty was found in arriy-
ing at common bases of negotiations

ship. The old treaty was OF such an
Gent date as to be unserviceablc as a
foundation. The scars left by the war
We're so fresh that Mr.. Storer found it
a difficult and delicate task to secure
substantial concessions. but it is be-
lieved that he has succeeded and that

Maine is said to produce the finest
Christmas trees. The odor of the bal
sam in the forests of that state and
the superior lasting qualities of the
foliage make the trees comparatively
very valuable. In that part of the
country the raising of these trees
is an important industry, forests Of
them being $ubjected to a. partial
cultivation. Enough clearing is done
to allow each tree to grow fully and
Fymmetrically, and in five years they

Brown TO he Insurance
COaspirnt0Fs.

Chicago, June ii.-Dp. August n.
Unger and +. Wayland Brown were
yesterday found guilty of conspiracy
to commit the insurance frauds which
eliminated in the death of Marie Def
enbach last fall. Punishment by inn
prisonment in the penitentiary for an
indeterminate term of from one to five
years is the penalty.

had its inception April 5, 1900, when DR..
Cnger, under the assumed name Of Dr.
Scott. in company of Marie Deicnpacn'
called on one of the officials OF the lnde-
pendent Order of Foresters. Marie sought
to secure 5000 insurance, and after some
weeks of waiting her name was finally en-
tered on the rolls of the organization. This
was the beginning of a series OF dealings
with insurance companies and organi1a-
tions which finally resulted in an aggre-
gate Of 2,OC0 in insurance being secured
on the life of the girl. This money was dis
tributeG as follows: Independent Order
of Foresters, 5000; New York Life lnsur-
ance company. 5000; Knights and Ladies
of Honor. $1,000. If they had been success
full in all their efforts she would have car
ried total Of So 600 in insurance. Brown
and Smiley came into prominence through
an arrangement making Smiley, as her at
famed husband. the beneficiary In the for
esters' policy. The girl died on the night of
August Is. For an hour before her death
she suffered intense agony. She called re-
peatedly for DR.. Ungef. The day following
the body was e1nbalmed at a neighboring
undertaking establishment. Brown and
Smiley called at the house and made all
preparations for the funeral and the dis
position Of her personal effects. Tuesday
she was cremated at Graceland In accord
ance with the provisions Of a will found in
her bedroom and dated August g. Smiley

to get the money called for in the other
two policies. Smiley attempted to probate
the will and the publicity brough. about an
expose, arrests and finally conviction.1

lower the rate to one cent. The PEN
