SOME MAINE DEGENERATEs.
The Result of Generation of inter-
marriage In Two Families.

ulHFEluEG IN tWO
From the Boston Daily Advertiser.
Speaking of degenerate families, one
Maine town, Brighton. in Somerset coun-
ty, has been forced TO take a step back
ward, abandoned its town charter and
go back to the plantation form of gov
eminent on account of it's paupers. Two
families there married and intermarried
until they evolved such Characteristics as
made them in reality "a tribe" There
was a score of them and more, and there
are as many to-day. They live In a lone
ly part of the town, and resent all intru-
sion with great fury. Some time ago
the writer visited the place with an officer,
and though this officer knew them well
and they feared him, we were obliged
at last to retreat precipitatey in order
to avoid an attack. AS the most Of them
are cretins of a lamentable type, the law
could give victims OF their assault little
satisfaction He who goes among them
does so at his own peril.
The support of these paupers became
so onerous that Brighton's purse could
not stand the drain.
Residents were abandoning their farms
and moving away because they were tax
ed so much to support these persons who

Some time ago several OF the men COM

RAIDED POOL ROOMS
&C NIMITTEE OF FIFTEEN GETS IN
MORE WORK.
POLICE WERE RATHER COOL
CHARGED WITH GIVING THE TIP
AT ONE PLACE.

Small Number of Persons Arrested
Would Indicate That the Tip Had
Been Pretty Generally Given.
Seven Places Baidcd by the Com
mittee, Assisted by Their own De-
tectlves and Policemen From the
Regular Force of the Precinct.
New York, April 1.-THE committee of
fifteen raided seven alleged poolrooms this
afternoon. The raids were made on war
rants issued by Justice Jerome and upon
evidence obtained by the staff of detec-
tives working for the committee under
the direction of Superintendent John Nc
Cullagh. The raids in each case were
personally conducted by individual mem
bers of the committee assisted by their
own detectives and policemen of the reg
ular force from the precinct in which the
raid was made. In only one place did the
raiders fail to make any arrests, and C,
C. Brewster, of the committee, openly
says the inmates of the place received a
tip from the police that the place was
about to be raided.
A feature of the raiding was the effort
by at least two of the police officials to
prove that the places raided were not poor
rooms, but orderly and well conducted
clubs. The places raided, together with
the number of prisoners taken in each
place, were as follows:
1.-THE" Aliens place. on Sixth avenue,
Allen the alleged superintendent and two
others arrested.
A room on Canal street. four prisoners
A room on Mercer street, one prisoner.
The Bon Ton Club on West Twenty
third street, four prisoners.
A place on East Eighth Street, five
prisoners.
A place on East Fourteenth street, three
prisoners.
A room at Eighth avenue and Four
teenth street, no prisoners and no evil
dence obtained.
Bad Conduct of the Police.
1t was in connection with the latter
place that Mr.. Brewster accused the po-
lice of warning the poolroom proprietor.
He said the police moved so slowly that
he urged them to hurry, but met with a
rebuff. When Mr.. Brewster reached the
place ahead of the police his own agents
told him some one had come to the place
d lew minutes aIter he went INTO the Sta-
ton, and had given tip to forty or fifty
men within and they had all left. They
were still coming out when he got there.
When the policemen arrived the place
was empty Six books of racing charts,
a rubber speaking tube and some racing
slips were seized. Mr.. Brewster later
entered a protest concerning the action
of the policemen to Capt. Moynihan, who
is in command of the precinct, but who
was not present at the station when Mr.
Brewster presented his warrants,

government wishes the dispute to go.
We insisted that the dispute be submitted
for adjudication without prejudice and
carried our point.

not reserve the right to intervene If JUS
tlce is not DONE but we want the matter
passed upon by the courts. There was
some feeling at the hight of the incident,
but il has subsidized, and our relations at
the present time are quite satisfactory.
canrot say how long it will take to reach
a decision in the asphalt cases: presume
the law has its delays in Venezuela as
elsewhere.
THE Barcelona incident, in which our
consular agent was twice arrested by
local officials in an attempt to extort
money from him, has been practically
closed, and in manner quite satisfactory
to US. Our government directs me to
demand an apology and the fullest repa-
ration. Just before leaving l was given
assurance that the fullest amends would
be made. I believe that the assurance
given me will be carried out.
