DISCRIMINATION NEEDED
IN SMUGGLING CASES
Secretary Payne's Inyestiga-

Cuti0n-Makes Distinction Be

Postmaster General Payne. while on q
recent pleasure trip to Porto Rico with
Secretary Moody. made an investigation
Of the smuggling cases in which army
and navy officers and prominent men
are involved. When shown dispatch
from San Juan yesterday stating that
the grand jury had voted 10 bring in
nine indictments against those impIi-
Gated. he gave a very interesting state
ment OF his views on the case.
There is smuggling and smuggling. 90
said Mr.. Payne. y consider that PROSE
cution OF these cases would be persecu-
zion OF those involved. There are TWO
kinds of smuggling, and all precedent
shows that these Two classes have al
ways been dealt with by the Treasury
officials as if they were entirely differ

Smuggling for Fun.

he is detected. What is done TO him ,
Is he dragged to court, placed in jail,
indicted, and tried? Certainly not. The
articles which he has failed to declare
are seized Of course, and he is made to
pay double the duty which the articles
call for under the tariff laws
The articles which he endeavored 10
smuggle in were Tor his own use OF TO
serve as presents for mis- friends. His
act in endeavoring TO evade the duty
cannot be commended. and whether or
not it should be considered as worthy
OF severe punishment, the custom has
been merely 10 exact the double penalty
and TO permit the offender to go about
his business.

Smuggling for Trade Cain.


There is another kind Of smuggling
however. which is not regarded so len
ientIy This is case where a person
endeavo-s 10 bring IN articles free CT
duty for the purpose Of trade gain. The
intent here Is clear. The attempt Il
eyade the duty is made in order that tn
articles on which the customs tariff
should have been paid may be sold in
competition with articles which have
been declared.
1t is absurd and ridiculous to place
the two kinds of smuggling IN the same
category. The Porto Rican cases under
consideration belong 10 the first class.
The goods snuggled were wines, liquors.
and cigars. They were brought IN under
the conditions invariably attendant upon
the semi military and quasi-govern-
mental occupancy OF u country. and they
were not brought in for purposes of sale
or for the end Of trade advantage.
Would Establish a Precedent.
The goods smuggIed. as We discov-
cred. were used in the clubs Of san
Juan. and portion Of them were given
as presents by those who brought them
in If those who aided in eyading the
customs DUTY on these goods are in
dicted and prosecuted. then il may be
held to establish a precedent. and each
and every one OF these tourists before
mentioned who endeavor 10 smuggle
little articles into this country for their
own use. or 10 serve as gifts for their
friends. instead OF being compelled to
pay the double duty, should under the
same RUE. be dragged into court in
diCred, ana eTiminaUy prosecuted.
The assertions Of the native Porto
Bicans now in prison for smuggling that
If the army and navy omcers involved
are not rigorously. prosecuted it VIII be
g manifest peryersion of justice is most
illogical These natives belong TO the
second class of smugglers-those who
evade the customs duty for purposes of
trade gain and in san effort to underseH
and reap greater profit than those Of
their competitors who comply with The
customs regulations.
But TO compare the TWO classes. OF
to say that man who smuggles for
profit and man who amuggles for fun
should be treated iden,icaIly alike is
ridiculous and absurd Further prosccu-
tion Of the cases against the army and
navy officers involved in the Porto
Ricau cases would be persecution.

BATES Is CONFIDENT
Of Winning Today's Game from Strong
v. of Maine Team.

Lewiston. Me-. Nov. 6-(SpeciaD More
the Bates Varsity with seven substitutes
left Lewiston, at 80 =. NJ. today, for
Bangor where they will meet the Uni
versity of Maine. Saturday.
1t is hard to account for the confidence
of the team for apparently the practice
has improved but little and the students,
as whole are pcssmistic about the
game, but perhaps the perfect condition
of every man on the Varsity and the fact
that every effort has been eXer,cd by Il
large number of coaches during the past
week to build up the team explains the
OF the players could not be better. Even

form during the brief signal practice this

Baldwin. guards, and Cuttcn. center com :
pete the line. Rounds quarter; Captain
Reed, left half: Kendall. right half, and
Briggs, fullback will make up the back
field.
The most serious question the coaches
ask is about the defence. There is still
room for doubt as to whether ii has been
sufficiently strengthened to meet the on
slaughts of the Maine boys. This must
remain undecided until the teams oppose
each other but it is doubtful if tho Gates
line has been strengthened materially dur
ing the last week. On offensive play, cS
pecially with Kendall in at halfback.
Bates should prove effective.
There will he no special train run from
Lewiston. but 50 students will leave for

THE MISSIONARY MEETING
Proves Very Profitable and ENJOYABLE
old Officers Re. elected,

The annual meeting of the Woman's
Foreign Missionary Society of the Au-
gusta district, which was held at the
Methodist vestry Friday, proved to be
very pleasant and profitable one
There was a very good attendance and
the time was passed very pleasantly
The program was carried out Just as
arranged, something that does not
often happen with such meetings.
The morning session opened at 10
O'Clock and was devoted chiefly to
business. The reports that were given
were interesting and showed that az
cellent work has been done. The adj
dress of welcome was given by Mrs
G. w. Bradlce and the response Nv
Miss Sophia G. L.apham. The old
board Of officers was reelected for tho
ensuing year.
The program for the afternoon wac
carried out as exactly as that of the
forenoon, the principal feature beinp
the address by Mrs. L. w. Moore of
Basin, India. and this proved very in :
teresting. The paper United Study
for 1902 and Review of Rex Christ1s,
for 1903" by Mrs. H. T. Dunnack va.
very much enjoyed.
An hour for luncheon and socia, ch.+
interviewed between the morning ard
afternoon sessions. On the whole tha
meeting was considered very success-
full one and very profitable for those
who were present.

Hose |. and Hook and Ladder ], re-
sponded. Friday afternoon. to a still
alarm for a chimney fire in the house
of Mrs. John Roderick at the Head of
the Falls. 1t was a very orderly little
blaze and doubtless gave the chimney
a good cleaning while it did no serious
damage. 1t caused some anxiety in
that thickly settled section on account
Of the high wind, and the large guam
tity Of sparks that were scattered all
about on the adjoining buildings. Lad
ders were raised and an extinguisher
applied from the roof which was suffi-
cient. This was the first time that Kit
and Nell, the new horses, ever pulled
truck to a fire and they acted very
nicely indeed. They thought it sort of
queer to be asked to race through the
streets in the dark and turn corners
without slackening speed great deal
but apparently rather liked the fun.
They stood quietly after reaching the
fire taking in everything and stor-
ing at away for future use.
