PORTLAND EXCITED.
City Stirred Up over Raid Of Agency
by Sheriff Pennell.

Portland, Me.-EXoetement prevails
here over the seizure OF the stock OF
the liquor agency by Sheriff William
M. Pennell, and it is the one great
subject of conversation. The stock
consisted of about 600 gallons of hard
liquors, and some of the lighter kinds
1t is estimated that 1t may be worth
$4,000. 1t Is the property of the city
of Portland, and agent Douglas was
elected by the city government. 1t re-
mains to be seen what the two
branches of the city government will
do, They may allow the agency to re-
main closed or they may attempt 20
open it again.
In July, 1904, the sales at the agency
amounted to $780, and in 1905 to S5,-
0S4. The sales in January were 1874.
In senne oNses the books show that a
large quantity of liquor was sold to
the same person. One man bought in
July six gallons,
Sheriff Pennell contends that 1t
could not have been needed for medi-
cinal purposes, and must have been
used for tippllng. During the last six
months the sales have amounted to
$21,612.
Such a move as this on the part of
Sheriff Pennell has been expected for
some time.
Sheriff Pennell, when he met Chas,
e. Douglass, the liquor agent, said to
him:
"I have decided to seize the liquor
in the agency, and should advise you
to close your DOORS"
Mr.. Douglass was taken by surprise
and said:
Sheriff Pennell, do you think you
are doing right?"
81 most certainly do" said the sher-
iff.
81 can only say" said Sheriff Pen
nell, that | seized the liquors here
as | should in any liquor saloon. 1t is
a search and seizure made because Of
alleged violation of the prohibitory
law"
Agent Douglass was not arrested,
but will go before Judge Hill. His case
will be continued because Col. w. c.
Eaton, the county attorney, is out of
the city.
The seizure of the liquor agency was
made, it is understood, as the result
of long investigation by Sheriff Pen
nell. 1t leaves Portland without sin
gle known place where liquor can be
had for any purpose.

Hebrew Bakers Riot.

New York.-Frequent outbreaks OF
rioting, calling for drastic action by
the police, marked the course of the
strike of the Hebrew bakers on the
East Side Aug. 8.
In an attack on bakery in Allen
street so rioters broke into the place,
completely wrecked it and upset bar
rels of flour and dough in the street
Two policemen who were on guard
in the shop were overpowered and
roughly handled, and the reserves had
to be called out before the rioters
could be dispersed.
A committee of 100 sent from strike
headquarters to a bakery in Orchard
street, to induce nonunion workmen
to quit, attacked the shop, hearing OF
which, hundreds of strikers rushed
from their meeting to the scene Of
conflict. One policeman who attempt
ed to defend the non-union men was
mobbed and severely beaten, but held
his ground until rescued,
The patrol wagon, bringing a squad
of reserves, was furiously assailed by
the mob, who stopped the horses, and
even dragged some of the men from
their seats. The rest quickly alighted
and charged the mob through a rain
of bottles and bricks that poured from
roofs and windows.
After 10 minutes hard fighting the
mob was dispersed, and two men, both
severely injured, were arrested. The
shop in which the fighting began was
wrecked.
At many points on the East Side
wagons carrying bread were attacked
and the drivers beaten. Many women
participated in these attacks. Accord
ing to the stri@rs the loaves destroy
ed were supplied from shops in Phil
adelphia and nearby cities.

According to the generally accepted
doctrine, the dog days begin on July
8 and end on August II, but there
have been disputes as to every pos
sible point about them. 1t was uni
versally agreed that they were con-
nected with the Dog Star, but which
one? The real Dog Star, Sirius-or
Procyon, the Little Dog? Then there
were disagreements as to the parti-
