ToReturnto Maine. Unless
Assurances. Are Given
That He viii Not Be Detained
7 On The Sanity Question.
c. +. Dunlap Of Portland Thinks
That a Matter Of Importance,

Portland, Me-, May 3O.-That Rev.
Frank w. Sanford OF the Holy Ghost
and Us community in Durham does not
return to this State because of fear
that steps will be taken to determine
his sanity seems certain.
Last week representative of the
Shiloh leader approached Charles r.
Dunlap of Portland, and asked for as
surances from him that he would in
stitute no such proceedings if Sand
ford should come back to Maine.
Mr. Dunlap's reply was not encour-
aging 1t was in effect that he was
only waiting for Sanford to step foot
in this State to take action to see
whether the Goth Century Elijah
should not be committed to the Insane
hospital at Augusta.
Mr.. Dunlap was given to understand
by the man who came to see him for
Sandford that the latter would never
return to America so long as such
steps were contemplated by anlone.
Mr.. Dunlap said last evening that
he had instructed his counsel, Hiram
KnOwlton, Esq, to petition the select
men of Durham to have Mr. Sanford
examined to ascertain whether or not
he is mentally sound. MY counsel
has had instructions from me for a
long time since to do this whenever
Sanford shall come within the jurs-
dictiOn of the State" he said.
Mr.. Dunlaps experiences in rescuing
his grandson from the Shiloh COM
munity are we'll known. He has been
most determined and persistent foe
to the Sanford institution and be-
lieves that the leaders continued alb
sence from the State will have a very
salutary effect in the breaking up OF
the community. Mr.. Dunlap has help
ed many people who desired to leave
the Hilltop at Durham and has secured
employment for Il large number Of
young men and boys who have taken
their departure from the community

AS soon as the tent for housing the

One of the trips proposed is to cross

the government, was purchased last
summer from Captain Thomas s.

Retired Revenue Engineer To-
day Filed Serious Charges
With Secretary of Treasury
Macveagh.
NEGLECT OF DUTY is
ONE OF ALLEGATIONS
Lieutenant Burns States That
No Help Was Rendered Pas
sengers on the Wrecked
Ship Valencia.

Washington, April 19.-Trouble IL
brewing for the revenue cutter ser.
vice. Lieutenant James A. Burns
formerly an engineer officer in the
service, who resigned some time age
in disgust, as he says, with the meth
DDS Of the service. is preparing char
ges which were filed today with Sec
rotary of the Treasury MacVeagh.
Burns makes serious charges
against the cutter service. He asserts
that when the steamer Valencia was
wrecked off the coast Of Vancouver in
1906. revenue vessels refused or neg.
lected to 60 to the rescue. although
notified in time, perhaps. to have saw.
ed the passengers of the doomed ship
In the Valencia wreck, 113 lives were
lost.
Influenced Legislation.
Burns also charges that in 1902 the
officers of the cutters service raised
a fund of $4,000. by contributions OF
$3.50 apiece, and that the money was
used to influence the passing of bill
before congress, which passed that
year, giving increased pay to the of.
ficers and putting the service practi
cally on a par with the army and
navy. He charges that the comman.
der OF a revenue cutter at the San
Francisco earthquake refused to CO.
operate in the rescue work with naval
vessels because of a snub a naval of.
ficer gave to the cutter captain.
Cutters are Useless.
Burns also charges that revenue cut.
tiers are used to protect the shipping
industry of the American Commercial
company. private corporation and
that the returns received for this pro
lection is wholly Inadequate to recon-
pense the government for the expense
of keeping the cutters on that duty.
He further says that a cutter as now
conducted exists without any valid
reason and that it performs such in.
significant and trifling duties in com.
parison to it's cost that there is no
reason for it's existence: that the
ships pass great part of their time
idly lying at anchor and that their
service in life saving is practically
nothing.
Talk and Money.
Talking about promises" said q pro.
moter, some Of these moneyed men,
with their mouths full Of millions and
their quite empty hands, reminded me
