0fliquor Seized bySturgis
Deputies in Lewiston.
Entire Force Of State Swoop
Down in One Grand Haul.
Six Arrests Follows Seizures--.BIue Bells
Club Loses $500 in Liquors.

Lewiston, Me-, Dec. 10.-All the En-
forcement Commission deputies in the
State, II in number, gathered in Lew
iston, Saturday, and early in the even
ing swooped down on the clubs, max
ing six arrests and a haul of liquors,
which is only rivaled by their raid
early last summer. 1t is estimated
that over 1000 gallons of liquors, most
~ beer to be sure. but including some
five brands of hard stuff was seized.
The deputies started at $50 o'clock
and jiggers We're hauling the seized
liquors and empties until after mid
night.
Nearly 20 loads We're taken away.
The clubs raided were Commide Ma
tionale, Blue Bells, Germania, Pros
pect, Pine Tree, Lutheran Social
Club
The men arrested as outcome of the
raids were: Prosper Speroo, james
Mathews. John Mccarthy, Adam Ill
lner, Michael Oulette, all of Lewiston
and Oscar B. Bracket of Auburn.
All these received bail shortly after
being taken to the Lewiston lookup.
The Blue Bells Club had the largest
haul, where liquors valued to the
amount of $500 We're taken.
News of the raid quickly spread and
the last three clubs visited We're closed
when the officials arrived and they
found it necessary to force entrance.
The officers when seen, early this
morning. were very reticent. saying
that as they had such Il big crowd to
buck against that it would be poor
policy to make any statement before
the trial. Some criticism was cX-
pressed because other clubs including
the Eagles and the Elks We're not raid
cd.
One of the deputies said that
they got around to all places that
they could in the time.
From all appearances the clubs have
been doing Il flourishinS business for
Il long time and for the most part have
not been bothered by the officers. 1t
will be remembered that during the
first of Rev. G. s. Cummings admin
stration, the little minister" one of
the clubs was raidcd and but little
came out of the action.

The first important measure which
will receive the attention of the Senate
will be the Panama Canal emergency
appropriation bill, and it's considerati ton
will begin, this week. Some senators
predict that it will become law before
the close of the week, but others have
expressed the opinion that tina, action
will be deferred until the week follow
ing. There will be no effort to prevent
the passage of the bill in some shape,
but there will be some opposition to the
proposed restoration of the $5,5OO,O0O
subtracted by the House from the
amount to be appropriated. Regard
less of the sum the bill will be utilized
as Il basis for the general discussion of
the canal question as to whether the
canal shall be constructed on the sea
level
the general expectation is that there
will be comparatively little additional
legislation before the Christmas holt
DAYS
Senator Gallingcr will call up the mer-
chant marine bill at the first oppor-
tunity and is hopeful that action will
not be long deferred. No one counts
upon even getting a report from the
committee on the railroad rate bill I'M
til some time after the holidays The
three measures mentioned are consid-
cred the most important that will be-
come before the Senate during the ses-
sion.
The consideration by the Senate Of
the joint statehood bill and the bill for
the reduction of duty on Philippine i'm
pOrtations into the United States will
necessarily be postponed until after the
holidays. No one now expects any ef-
fort to modify the tariff unless in the
direction of Senator Lodges bill pro-
viding for a maximum and minimum
rate.
Much Of the time during the present
week will be devoted TO the re-organ-
ization of the committees and there is
hope that the announcement of changes
can be made before Thursday
Senator Mitchells death will be an
nounced by Senator Fulton. tomorrow.
but it is not probable that the an
nouncemcnt will cause an adjourn

the Thirty eighth company of Philip
pine scouts, surprised the main camp

WOULD COMPETE ~
Commission at Winnik
Transportation impro\
STATES

WINNIPEG, Man., June
royal commission on transpo y
sat in the board of trade today fo1
purpose of receiving evidence pertah
ing to the Improvement of transporta-
ton facilities in Canada, with a vie,,
to placing Canadian products in a po-
sitiOn to compete through Canadian
channels with the producers and ex-
porters of the United States Two
members of the commission were pres
ent, Robert Redford, chairman, and J.
H. Ashdown.
Evidence was received from the
board of trade and presented by E. L..
brewery, pointing out the desirability
of using the natural transportation fa-
cilities offered by the Red, Assina-
boine and Saskatchewan rivers, Lake
Winnipeg, and, above ALL the Hudson
bay route, by which the products of
the west can be more economically con
veyed to the markets of the world
This point was also dwelt upon by
the grain exchange, represented by
John Lowe, who pointed out the i'm
mense Importance of such a waterway.
Mr.. Redford considered the route inn
practicable. Before much was done he
thought information should be obtain
ed setting forth the proposals of Mac
Kenzie and Mann to operate a rail-
road to the bay, if they had any to
make.

FOXY Mr.. JOHN BREWSTER
ALLEGED TO HAVE DECIDED
AWAY PROPERTY so WIFE
COULD NOT GET 1T.
Has Also Absented Himself So That
Summons in Divorce Suit Could
Not Be Served.

Turning valuable property over to
his attorneys in order that his wife
could not get hold of it and then alb
senting himself SO that a summons to
appear in a divorce suit filed against
him could not be served, is the unique
way John Fewster, prominent Waits
burg farmer, is going about it to de-
prive his wife Of her property rights
and protection Of the law.
This is the gist of complaint that
w. H. Upton, attorney for Mrs. Fews-
ter has made to the superior court.
Miller & Fouts of Dayton are attor-
neys for Fewster and Attorney Upton
alleges that becoming cogniZant OF the
fact that Mrs. F'ewster was going to
bring an action for divorce, Fewster
anticipated her move by deciding over
to Mr.. Miller certain valuable farm
lands in Walla Walla county. The
deed was filed April 16, 1905, but Mrs.
Fewster's name does not appear on
the instrument which Attorney Upton
declares invalidates and renders void
the alleged transaction. Although
Mrs Fewster commenced an action for
divorce several months ago Mr.. Few
ster it is alleged has concealed hlmself
so effectively that the sheriff has been
unable as yet to get service on MIN.
Fewster created considerable comment
a few months ago by advertising his
wife in the Waitsburg Times.
