said the best roads were those in
Waldo county. From Kittery to with
in three miles of Portland the roads
were poor, and this side Of Portland
were decidedly worse. In this section
Mr.. Knowlton thought everybody must
travel by train or trolley. In Waldo

better shape than in other sections.

SUGAR CONCERN N
CUSTOMS FRAUD
AT TRIAL OF CHEESE
IMPORTERS SHOWS FALSE
WEIGHTS AIDED OTHERS -
GOVERNMENT TO PROSECUTE.

New York, Oct. 22.-Eight years
of systematic and exceedingly profit
able cheating of the United States
government was described today by
George E. Birge, customs weigher
witness in the trial of Antonio and
Philip Musica, cheese importers.
After telling how he had under
weighed large importation of cheese
for the Musicas and received 1874
as his share, Birge said he had SINH
lar dealings with hundreds of other
firms of importers. He declared also
that there was a regular system OF
cheating in which a number of GUS
toms employees were involved. Birge
is one Of three weighers who have
confessed and is testifying for the
government.
An echo of the governments suit
An echo of the governments suits
against the American Sugar Refining
company was brought out by Birge's
testimony. He said that prior to his
operations for the Musicas and others
he had been almost exclusively en-
ployed in underweighing and cheat
ing on behalf Of the sugar people.
Birge testified that he had been
defrauding the government by under
weights since he entered the service
in 1901. He said he divided some
of the money he received for this
with other officials.

Chicago, Oct. 22.-The land re-

in the west, and many in the south,
will be exploited this fall In the
greatest exhibition ever held in a sim

cation exposition, which is being
promoted under the executive and
financial responsibility of the Chica-
go Tribune, will be held in the Coli
scum, from November 20 to Decem-

1t Is the first exposition ever held
solely to promote the colonization to
the new land in this country, now
made available to home seekers, be-
cause of the recent reclamation of
vast expanses of swamp and arid
tracts.
Robert P. Cross, secretary of the
exposition, has just returned from
the west, where cooperation has
been given in connection with the
support already assured from the
southern states.

Mr.. Cross. ''is keener today than at

enough to change your mind to-

ness of our ladies. Permit me to
observe, in return, that not a few
of our most distinguished beau
ties were good enough to make in
quiries as to your identity"
He left the American standing
at the head of the steps, gazing
after his retreating figure with a
look of admiration in his eyes.
Truxton Jared forth into the
streets that night with a greater
zest in life than he had ever
known before. Something whis-
pered insistently to his fancy that
dreariness was a thing of the
past; he did not have to whistle
to keep up his spirits. They were
soaring of their own accord.
He did not know. however, that
a person from the secret service
was watching his every movement.
Nor, on the other hand, is it at
all likely that the secret service
operative was aware that he was
not the only shadower of the
blithe young stranger.
A man with a limp cigarette
between his lips was never far
from the side of the Americana
man who had stopped to pass the
time of day with William Spantz,
and who, from that hour was not
to let the young man out of his
sight until another relieved him
of the task.
