Old Orchard, Me, Aug. 11.-That the
outlook in Maine Is good and temper
ance people could not ask for more
laws was the sentiment expressed to-
day at the fifth annual conference Of
the temperance societies of Maine by
Hiram Knowlton, a Portland temper
ance worker. He did believe that what
Is wanted is more enforcement of those
laws. The general sentiment of the
speakers. however, seemed to be that
the liquor laws are better enforce
than in the past. The situation III
Maine was discussed by number Of
speakers.
Mrs. l.. M. NJ Stevens of Portland,
president of the Worlds Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, declared
that the legislation of last winter in
Maine had strengthened instead of
weakened the prohibitory law. She
said that Gov. Bert M. F'ernald was
honest and had lived up to his promise
to the temperance people regarding
the enforcement of the liquor laws.
Miss Elizabeth p. Gordon of Boston,
acting president of the Massachusetts,

HYMNS SPECTACULAR FIRE

capes-Engine Badly Damaged.

Lynn, Mass. Aug. ia huge heap
| of smouldering ruins was all that re-
manned today of Lynn's largest and
Oldest morocco manufacturing plant,
as a result Of fire early today which
destroyed the factory of A. B. Hoff-
| man & Sons. Inc. in the West Lynn
district of the city. The fire was one
OF the most threatening the fire de-
partment Of this city has ever had to
| fight. and it was only the complete abb
| sence of wind that prevented a confia-
grafton. as the factory was very close
ly surrounded by tenement houses. =,
The loss was estimated today by
Carl Hoffman, the present head Of the
company, to be about $950,OOO. which,
he said. was well covered by insurance,
While this amount appears on the
race of it to be inordinately large, as
the building was an old wooden struc-
ture, it is accounted for by the fact
that large quantity of valuable stock
and machinery was totally destroyed.
The fire came during the firms bust
est season and the factory contained
more Of the expensive leather than at
any other time during the year. The
plant employed between IFS and 200
persons, all of whom were thrown out
of employment.
The plant consisted of two four
story wooden buildings connected in
the center by a slender structure which
made the buildings form the letter H.
A passing milkman discovered the fire
in the central structure. where it orig
mated in the boiler room. and sent
in the alarm. BY the time the appara-
tus arrived on the scene, however, it
mad extended to both ellis, and a third
alarm was rung in, calling out all the
apparatus in the city. .-lst Il
The building was in the center Of a
closely populated tenement house dis
| trict and as 1t was soon seen that it,
| tie could be done to save the Hoffman
factory. the tiremen devoted most of
their energies to quenching the many
incipient fires which were springing up
constantly on the roofs of the nearby
houses. In this the department did ex-
| cellent work, considering the fact that
| they had to contend with nearly a
dozen fires on the roofs of tenemen,
houses at a time, and the total loss on
all the incipient fires will not exceed
$1,000 ~ y 4,s:s.s
The flames illumined the sky for
miles around. and many people were
attracted to the blaze. while about a
score Of families from the nearby tene-
ment houses were sent shivering into
the street in their nightclottes by fires
on the roofs of their homes. and many
OF them moved their entire. belongings
out on the streets
In responding to the alarm, Engine
was ditched in an excavation for q

and horses were thrown none was
severely injured. The vehicle. how.
ever, could not be removed and the
men were forced to carry the ladders

strangled Anna Schumacher to death
at the border of Holy Sepulchre ceme-

o'clock this morning, Deputy Sheriffs
Birmingham, John .Stott and James E.
Smith. left the court house for the
town of Greece to look for a man in a
blue suit and a straw hat, who has
been living in the woods back of the

terry -.
The Schumacher family has declared
steadily it's suspicion Of a man SO
clothed, who followed them in the GEM
etery on Sunday afternoon and told
them that the missing girl would be
found in Section H, or not at all. Such
man was kicked from a freight train
on the Buffalo. Rochester & Pittsburg
Line. just back of the cemetery early
this morning. He doubled back into
the woods whence he had come and the
brakeman sent word to the county Of
ficers. Search of the woods showed
that the man has been living there for

and evidently seeking retirement
This new phase of the case is said to
coincide perfectly with other informa-
ton held close secret by the district
attorney and the sheriff as to a certain
man whose movements for sometime
past are unaccounted for
The searchers came across a suit of
clothes and a revolver hidden in the
woods, believed to be the property Of
the suspect. ..
The man was driven out of the woods
at 8 O'clock He made for the Manitou
swamp of the Lake Shore. He has two
hours start of the posse.
At $50 o'clock the leaders of the posse
admitted that they had lost the trail
and that the suspect probably was safe
from immediate capture.
At 4 o'clock a second posse headed
by Deputy Sheriff Hawley started for
the Manitou swamps to continue the
search.
The name of the suspect was found
in his clothes but the sheriff will not
give it out. The man is described as S
