AFTER sMUGGLERs.
Officers Chasing Canadians Who Have
Been Bringing Over Liquor.

Dead Piver, Me-, April 19-United
States revenue officers are reported to be
driving two Canadian smugglers in this
direction through the woods from the
Holeh section. 1t was said Saturday the
pursued men took the bush below Holeb
station on the Canadian Pacific Railway
and that the officers were only one hour
behind them
Capt. Freeman Rowe of Mattawamkeag
an old sanu-Sler chaser who knows every
trail leading out of the State flom the
Dead and Moose river sections, arrived
here late Saturday afternoon and start
ed with two township constables in the
direction Of the Cameron trail the sup
posed objective of the smugSers.
1t is likely the smusglers will attempt
to get back into Canada by either the
Cameron or the Turtle trails. At this
season OF the year these trails are the
most convenient Pursued and pursuers
passed Friday night in some of the camps
of the wagon road which crosses the di-
vide between the two rivers. and it is
probable the Smuggers will turn due west
as soon as they strike the Dead River
water cant.

Man Who Insults National
Cuardsman at Chelsea
Promptly Arrested and Given a
6-mOnihS Jail Sentence.
Guardsman InsuIted Was on Duty
In Chelsea Fire District.

Boston, April 19.-Judge Albert H.
Bosom strongly demonstrated mis- feel
ings yesterday at the session OF the
Chelsea police court when he sentenced
young man to six months in the
house Of correction for insulting a
member of the state militia.
The defendant was Herman T. Cakes
Of Nentonvile, ana he was complained
of by Lieut. Cam. who alleged that
Cakes used insulting language to "a
member of the militia While the latter
was in the performance of his duty.
Young Oakes was in an automobile
with another man and two women. 1t
is alleged that he was going fast, ard
was ordered to slow up, refused and
then used insulting language To the
miitiaman. Cakes denied the charge,
and said his insulting act was directed
at a paSSerby.
Col SWeetser, in charge Of the mil
tia, conducted the case for the gov
eminent, and stated that the militia
forces had been treated very nicely by
Chelsea people, but outsiders had
caused them trouble and that it had
come to his notice that militiamen had
been called many harsh names. He said
that Cakes on his own admission had
been in the militia himself, and should
know better how to conduct himself.
Judge Bosson sentenced him TO the
full penalty of the law, six months in
the house Of correction, and in finding
him guilty said that Cakes should have
submitted checrfully to the regulations
Of those in authority. Instead Of obey
ing officers Judge Rosson said Cakes
used insulting language. His offense,
the judge said, showed that he did not
intend to keep peace and order.
Cakes appealed from the sentence
and was ordered held in $500 for the su-
perior court.

RUSSIA SURPRISED

Now Act on Macedonia.

ST. Petersburg, April 19.-The Italian
naval demonstration against Turkey,
which was announced here late last
night came as a complete surprise to
the Russian government officials and
to the members of the diplomatic corps,
for it had not been preceded by any
intimatiOn of the existence of a dis
pute between Turkey and Italy.
The various diplomatic in the Rus
sian foreign office officials heard the
news with a great show Of interest the
consensus of opinion being that this
action by Italy is of great significance,
occurring, as it does just when the Sui
tan's best friend, Emperor William of
Germany. is visiting in the Mediter-
ranean.
The opinion is expressed here that
1talyS bold example in dealing with
Turkey will lead to more vigorous in
