Court Records Show Sworn State
ments Of Officers, That They Be-
lieve Liquor is Sold in Every
Neiehborhood and Locality
in Biddeford.
Name Under Oath Thirty Eight Places
Exclusive Of Druggists Which
Have Sold Liquors Since
County Attorney Hobbs

Have Sold Liquors Since
County Attorney Hobbs
Has Been In Office.
From pulpit and press and by the
city council the statement has been
made repeatedly that Biddeford is
honeycombed with places at which
liquor is sold.
These assertions have met with
denial from certain officials and the
organs Of the rumselling interests, the
Journal and La Justice, ever ready 20
respond 10 the pull of the string by
the political bosses and make any
kind of statement that is required
to perpetuate and defend the system
that was inaugurated with the police
commission and which has since been
in operation without serious inter
ruption.
Statements and denials do not
count Facts do. What are facts2
The Records files have been hastily
gone over since County Attorney
Hobbs assumed his Office January l.
l1gO7 The items which are here given
in proof OF the assertion that Bidde-
ford has been honeycom with rum
shops an this time are not mere state
ments of a newspaper. They consti-
l
officers have been compelled 10 visit
i'm that time. The court records will
substantiate all these items and more
too. IN every instance here given the
officers who made the raids took out
warrants and to obtain these warrants
they had to make oath that they
| believed that liquor was kept for
illegal purposes at these different
places. In most instances they found
liquor. In the list here given repeated
raids at the same places have not been
recorded The idea was 10 hnd out
how many different places there were
/ in Biddeford at which the officers
themselves were ready to make oath
liquor was sold in violation of the
law.
Has Biddeford been honeycomhed
with rumshops I'm the eight months
County Attorney Hobbs has been i'm

We wish to say most emphatieally
that in the news from prohibition
States we have given the exact state
ments Of their own papers.
The copy furnished the Wilmington
newspapers will prove this. and so
far as we are concerned any inter
ested parties may see such copy if
the paper concerned will take the
trouble 20 exhibit it.
We have not, and sll shall not man
gle the facts.
It is folly for the opposition to use
letter from. the political secretary
OF a political governor to Offset tho
facts OF daily occurrence which we
ARE publishing.
We cannot use one-fourth Of ths
material we receive, it is too voluni-
nous.
II is true that these papers are in
some instances against prohibition
and want resubmission, but they are
of both political parties.
4 If prohibition is such a beneficenf
policy Of government, have not the
people of Maine sufficient U1teiieene'
to appreciate it, and why are th'
churches and anti-license leaders
afraid to give them a chance to vot'
upon it?
Why not let the citizens Of Main'
express their opinion of prohibition
at the polls?
Because sli4h conditions as are por
uayed in the article followingr have
drought the citizens to such stat'
n of repusion and condemnation tina
lthey would spew the miserable law int

Although the family declares that
there is no change in the condition

HID IN A CEILING TIMBER
Young Farmer Finds $4,000 in Gold
Where His Father Had Con-
cealed the Same.

Hagerstown, Ind, Aug. IS. = Jacob
Moore, a young farmer, living one
mile from town, found $1,000 in gold
in the cabinet shop formerly used by
his father, Benjamin Moore, who died
some months ago. 1t was believed by
the family that money was hidden or
disposed of by their father without
their knowledge. and that he had died
without imparting his secret to any
one.
He was an expert worker in wood
and when young Jacob Moore was
looking about the old shop. he saw
q carefully mOrtised joint in the ceiling
timber where there was no occasion
for it. An investigation revealed a
perfectly-fitting block Of wood dove
tailed into the ceiling frame, and so
adjusted that it could be removed with
care and replaced intact. When the
piece of wood was removed the young
man discovered a pile of closely
wrapped coins. Upon examination he
found that there was $4,000 in $50 gold
pieces, ali carefully counted and ar
ranged in $1,000 cylinders.

SEQUEAL OF A SHOOTING
Wife of One of the Men Involved Sues
Her Husband for Divorce-Twelve
Co-RespOndents.

Belleville. Ill.,, Aug. ia sensation
al shooting ARRAY in a Chicago hotel
is recalled by the filing here of a di-
vcrce suit against Damon Padfield by
his wife, Mrs. Eunice Padfield. Mrs.
Ella Durphey, who was the cause Of
the shooting of Dadfield in the Grand
Pacific hotel by her husband was
named as one Of twelve women with
whom Padtield is asserted to have
been on too friendly terms.
The shooting occurred on Feb. u.
1905, when DR.. Durphey broke into Il
room in the hotel and found Padfield
and his wife slipping champagne. He
opened fire on Padfield, wOunding him
three times. None of the wounds
proved serious. Both men and the wo-
man were arrested, but the case was
later dropped because of the absence
of the principals. Padfeld is engaged
i'll a patent medicine and promoting
business and is wealthy The other
eleven women named by MTs. Padfield
reside in st. Clair county.

Associated Press Says the Operators

Of the telegraphers employed by the
Associated Press. These requests We're:
"Day work, six days, eight hours daily.
$50 per week, and overtime and extra
at the rate of 60 cents per hour. Night
work, six nights, eight hours, $50 per

rate Of 70 cents per hour. The yaca-
tons to remain as at present. A pro.
portionate increase for chiefs and sub
chief operators" The telegraphers re-
ouested a reply by 7:30 p. m. yester-
day. is dated New York, Aug. IL, 1907,
and says:
IT received this morning communi-
cation from a large number of the op-
orators i'll the service Of the Associated
Press asking for changed scale Of
wages and hours, and requesting a re-
ply by 7:30 o'clock this evening. The
changes involved are so radical in their
nature as to add over 100000 a year
and probably more, to the expense OF
this organization. The Associated Press
IS mutual in its character, makes nc
prots, and has no surplus fund out OF
which such a sum could be paid. Any
such increase must Of necessity be
| levied back upon the newspapers as g
part Of their weekly assessments.
"As general manager 1 have no pow
| err to make such an increase, either in
salaries or assessments, without au
thority from the board Of directors
and it is obviously impossible to cal
this board together within the tim,

PLANS TO CURB
AUTO SPEEDING
Extraordinary Efforts Taken by Mill
waukee Police as Result of
Many Accidents.

Milwaukee, Aug. 10.-Extraordinary
effort is to be made by the police to
put a stop to the speeding Of automo-
biles on downtown streets and coun-
try roads. Twenty-three accidents,
four of them resulting in death, is the
record which NIilwaukeeans have
helped to pile up during the spring
and summer months.
When asked for an explanation Of
the long list of accidents the police Sc : :
1t IL careless driving. They claim
people are in such hurry to ''get
there" that they risk their own lives.
Undersheriff Kissinger has laid plans
to send deputy sheriffs out on the
most frequenred highways to hold
stop watches on drivers and to arrest
every one of them who persists in
tearing along at q breakneck speed.
