SELL BONDS
IN NEW YORK
BANKERS DIsAPPROVE TRYING
TO SELL ALL HERE-CARTER
MAY BE SENT

The consensus Of opinion at the con-
ference of bankers with the governor
and other officials yesterday afternoon
on the sale of Territorial bonds was
that the New York market should be
tried. At the meeting were Governor
Dole, Treasurer Kepoikai. Secretary
Carter, Superintendent of Public Works
Cooper, and Auditor Fisher for the
Government; Samuel NJ. Damon. senior
partner of the banking house of Bishop
& Co.. William G. Irwin. partner and
r. l. Spalding. manager, of the bank of
Claus Spreckels & Co.; and G. NJ. Cooke,
president of the Bank OF Hawaii Ltd.
The local financial men were of the
opinion that the better plan was to sell
the bonds i'm New York, as the banks
here want securities of which they can
dispose if necessary. S. NJ. Damon
thought that Secretary Carter should
go to Washington and New York at
once and complete such preliminary ar
rangements as it is possible to complete
before the president approves the loan
issue. so that there need be no unnec-
essary delay in selling the issue of
bonds. Irwin and Cooke. for thei1
banks. agreed to put up the money
needed for printing bonds and other az
penses, for which the Legislature failed
TO provide. taking chances on being re-
imbursed by the next legislature.
The meeting brought out the opinion
that the Organic Act should be amend
ed to allow a longer loan than is per-
missible now. Under the law as il
stands the bonds must be payable in
not less than five and not more than if
teen years after the date Of issue, and
It is the opinion of the financial men
that a longer issue would sell better.

Il was jor then and my battalion was
stationed at the fort there, so was in a posi-

"Mr. Smith was one OF the best known
men in the city. He was very popular with
the better element and cordially detested
by the roughs and saloon hangers-on. That
was because of the activity he displayed in
the endeavor to compel the enforcement
of the Sunday laws.
Nebraska at that time had license law
which, if enforced. would practically COM
pei the shutting up Of saloons on Sundays
and in fact in any forbidden hours. No back
or side doors were permitted and there were
no rear rooms. The entire front had to
b. open and clear. with no obstruction OF
any sort to the view. so that any person
walking along the street could see at any
any time every one who was in the saloon
and all that was going on. No screens or
opaque glass were allowed.
-Of course, the only violation OF that
sort OF law that was possible was the open
and fragrant abuse that must have been
winked at or connived in by the police
The situation in Omaha was pretty bad
There were a good many saloons, and most
OF them had screens or blinds or some similar
obstruction to a clear view which enabled
them to run without observation or inter
ruption during the prohibited hours.
The city officials were either IN a cor
rupt deal witt the saloon men. or else were
too weak to make fight against them
and so the matter went. Finally there was
public outcry against the fragrant viola
ton of the law.
"A society was organized to compel the
city authorities to see that it was enforced
The best people Of the city were members
of the organization, and Watson B. Smith
| was its president or secretary.
He was member of one of the churches
and a firm believer in the liquor law. He

tions that grow out of liquor selling thar
any law Of which he had ever heard. He was
a man Of tremendous energy and push
and from habit OF life as well as from con
viction OF the right eousness Of what he wa.
doing he was extremely active in the new
society.
"Tne result OF this activity was. of course

saloon man in the CITY. All sorts Of threats
were made against him and his family

| BANGOR, Me-, May 30.-An old lumber
man sat quietly by while some men from
up river were telling of the great forest
| fires last week. and then he spoke up to say
| that there might have been bigger fires 4,
| but that the fastest and foollshest fire
| in the history of the world was that set
, BY order Of the State of Maine, way back
| in 1925. Jim Chase acting as torch bearer TO
the Commonwealth.
In those days, said the old lumberman,
the State owned all the timber, and by
many people stealing timber was con-
sidered no sin at all. much less crime
The big pumpkin pine belonged to the
whole people, and why should not part of
the people have their part? That was
the argument of the timber pirates, and TO
them it seemed to be conclusive.
In order 10 conduct operations in the
woods there must be laid in stocks of hay
! and grain for the horses or oxen, and the
pirates used TO go up to a brook at the
headwaters OF Sebois Stream, where there
| il a great meadow, and there have fine
time all summer raising and harvesting
crops Of grain and hay. The crops were
stacked and covered TO await the winter
| and the coming Of the oxen and horses,
! when all hands pitched in and helped them
selves to what they wanted, or could haul
out. of the best timber that ever stood in
| Maine
| Finally. the State aut uthorities heard Of this
picnic of the pirates among the pumpkin
| pine, and Jim Chase, man who knew every
| foot OF the timber country, was sent up
| to put a stop to it, by burning the crops
| that had been stacked up in the summer OF
1929. Jim said it was an easy job, and
| started.
He got to the brook, which had been named
| Hay Brook. name which survives to this
day. along in August, and it was the dryest
| August that man or beast had ever seen on
! the Penobscot headwaters. Everything
was like tinder, and 50, when jim Chase
touched a match to the first haystack he
came to, and puff OF wind came out of
the west, the flames spread with lightning
like rapidity
| In five minutes every stack Of grain and
| hay in the forty-acre field was abaze
| while the firebrands Were sailing off into
| the timber and starting fires there. jim
! had begun TO eat his lunch when the fire
| started among the stacks. and he grinned
| to himself as he thought how. with one
scratch of a match. he had made it i'm
| possible for the pirates to steal any logs
| that winter.
just IA he made up his mind that there
wouldn't be wisp Of hay left, nor enough
