5000 AND, 12o DAYS
Dealt Out to Nathan Goldberg ia
RumseIIing At Brunswick.

Brunswick. Me-, March 31-(Spe-
ciaD.-Two hundred dollars in fines
and 120 days in Jail, together with the
costs of court and nuisance case
hanging over him on which probable
cause had been found, was the stiff
dose given Nathan Goldberg by Judge
Frank E. Roberts in the Brunswick
municipal court this morning. Gold
berg has been thorn in the flesh OF
the officers for some time and many
complaints have been made about him.
Twice he has been before the court
and fined, the last time the judge tell
ing him that the next time he came
up a Jail sentence would be given.
Since then Chief of Police Lincoln H.
Colby has been on the watch and to-
day he nabbed his man. Four single
sale charges were preferred, Chief
Colby having as witnesses Frank
Eaton, H. A. Ward, Mrs. Fl. A. Ward
and Flavn Teatreault, all of whom
were willing to testify that they had
purchased liquor of Goldberg. On each
of these counts he was fined $50 and
costs and given a Jail sentence of 80
days. He appealed and furnished
bonds in $1,000 for his appearance at
the May term Of court. He was then
tried on a nuisance charge. Probable
cause was found and he was bound
over in $500 bonds to the May term.

The corporation business for the
month of March, from figures secured
at the office of the secretary of State.
shows that up to Tuesday noon the
number of corporations organized In
Maine under the general law. and
which had filed their certificates of
organization at the office of the secrc-
tary Of State, was "A, and the amount
received therefrOm in fees was $569O
Compared with the business of the
corresponding month in 1907 the
amount received in fees during the
past month is small.
The receipts in March, 1907. were
$19.695. and the falling off in the
receipts of the month just closed. by
comparison with the above figures, IS
sl4,O05. And so it. has been since the
year began. The receipts in fees from
the corporation business for January.
1908, were $4,000, while for the same
month year ago they were $37,525.
And it was the same in February. for
while in February, 1907. the receipts
for the month amounted to $l4.3S5,
those for last February only figured up
$63S5, less than half as much.
The reason given for the decrease in
the amount received in fees is the in
crease in the franchise tax. This does
not affect the smaller corporations,
which are coming along in about the
usual numbers, but the amount of the
fee paid in by these corporations is
small. The loss of revenue to the
State comes on account of the failure
of the larger corporations to organize
in Maine, the corporations whose
capitalization ran into the millions,
and the organization Of which was ac-
companied by the payment of a large
fee. The increase in the franchise tax
has to a large extent stopped the or
ganization of these corporations, the
promoters of which now take them to
State where the fee is not so large.
In other words. they won't pay the fee
that is required under the new law.
This falling off is shown by the fact
that only six corporations of a capital
stock of $1.00O,O00 or over were or
ganized in the State during the past
month, decrease which has been in
evidence since the law became opera
tive. They were as follows:
South Western Oil Co., $1,O00,O00
New York and Ontario Power
Co.. 1900, 900
Automatic Hotel Service, 100000

money Tor war;
BELGRADE, Oct. 12.-The Servian
national assembly today voted for an
extraordinary military appropriation of
three millions of dollars to meet i'm
mediate demands of mObiliZing an
army for protecting the frontier. 1t
also adopted the following resolution:
after hearing the governments ex-
planation, parliament expects to exert
a most vigorous activity to protect the
threatened interests of the nation"
Despite active preparations for war.
there is a feeling among the people to-
day due to the realization that Servia
is unprepared to successfully fight
Austria
One explanation of the quietness is
that the people are convinced that the
government is preparing for war,
and they are satisfied with the devel-
opments of events. Servia today de-
mands thel secession of Sandjak from
Austria and a money compensation for
THE annexation by Austria of Bosnia
and Herzegovina.
