LETTER FROM OKLAHOMA.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: send a
few lines to let you and the readers of The
Journal know how things are going in Okla
homa City, Two years ago the Democrats
carried the State and elected C. N Haskell
governor. He is one Of the smart men who
stand for the right because it is right, but he
has been before the courts ever since he has
been governor for land frauds, and the case is
still on. And now our city government is get
ting shaking up. The sheriff has been found
guilty by jury of taking brides from the boot
leggers, and so have the deputy sheriffs, some
of the aldermen and district attorney. How
is that for the party that has been crying out
fraud and graft? They are like Washington
and Ed Clements tell lie, but will if
there is a dollar to be made.
The Morris packing plant is employing 1000
men. They have ordered one thousand cars of
lumber and ten million boxes. How is that for
a starter?
The best of luck to all my friends and to The
journal, ED. F. CLEMENTS.

SHERIFFS WIN.
Court Dismisses Suit of Boston LIQUOR
Dealers,

PORTLAND, Me-, December Is. Before
Judge W. l.. Putnam in the United States
circuit court, attorneys representing II.
w. Huguley & Co. of Boston. and other
liquor dealers on one side, and the 16
high sheritfs of Maine on the other. ar
gued all the forenoon on a demurrer filed
by counsel for the defendant sheriffs to
bill brought last May by the wholesale
llquor dealers, the purpose of which was
to enjoin the sheriffs from Selling LIQUORS
IN transit, and to collect damages for
liquors already seized in transit and which
the compliments claimed were under the
protection of the pure food law, and seiz-
able only by the United States officers
qualified for that duty
After hearing the arguments of the
counsel, Judge Putnam issued a decree
sustaining the demurrer which set out in
substance that all the liquor dealers can
not consistently appear on this one COM
plant against the 16 sheriffs, in other
words that there is a multiplicity of in
terests, and also that nothing in the bill
dlscloses any damages Gf any were suf-
fered) which were irreparable or for
which there IS not complete remedy
at law.
In his decree Judge Putnam dismissed
Vic Dili VI lIle WIN COSIS TO
the defendants, but the respondents have
leave to amend generally on or before
December 20, 1909, paying costs to that
date and serving the attorney general by
mailing same to him at his address at
Waterville, Me.
The defendants to plead, answer or de-
muir on or before December oath.
If the defendants demur the case is to
be heard on December 81, 1909, at 2
o'clock in the afternoon.
There was distinguished array of
counsel present. Attorney General War
rem c. Philbrook and Judge Bendict F.
Maher of Augusta appeared for the sher-
ifs and George W. Anderson and James
P. Richardson of Boston and Judge Rob-
ert I. Hough of Washington for the liquor
dealers.
1t is believed that this mornings decree
will mean that the liquor dealers will
amend their action so that bills will be
brought against individual sheriffs by in
dividuals or by those who are directly
interested in the acts of certain sheriffs,
and attorneys for the compliments will
undoubtedly amend by December Goth,
as allowed by the decree.
In the original bill six liquor dealers
appear as compliments. They are H. w.
Huguley Co., Charles S. Cove Co., John
F. Callahan & Co, Shortell & Timmons,
Peter c. Crowley & Co, and the Terminal
Wine Co., all of Boston.

Searsport's Maritime Record.


In former years Searsport was an i'm
portant shipbuilding center, and we learn
from J. H. Sullivan, the local historian,
that fifteen ships have been built in
Searsport, as follows: B. Aymar, John
Bunyan, Charter Oak, Martin Luther,
Mary Goodell Matilda, B. F. Carver, S.
F. Jersey, Oneida, John C. Potter, VIM.
McGilvery, Premier, R. R. Thomas, Clar-
jssa B. Carver and VIM. H. Conner; and
in addition to the above, many vessels
of other rigs. The first of these the B.
Aymar, was the smallest, SIG tons, built
in 1910 by John Carver; and the last, the
VIM. H. Conner, was the largest, 1896
tons, and was built in 1897 by M. Packard.
Searsport has long been famous as the
home of deepwater shipmasters. The
irst ship commanded by Searsport
captain was the Henry Leeds, command
ed by Capt. jeremiah Sweetser, Sr., then
Of Prospect, now Searsport. A list of
the Searsport shipmasters who were
either born in Searsport or resided here
while in command was compiled in 1906
and contains the names of 149. In 1885
one-tenth of the American full-rigged
ships afioat were in command of Sears
port captains, and at that time there
we're 38 ships, SO briggs, banks and schoon-
ars under the command of Searsport
masters. The smallest ship of the feet
was the Vistula, 400 tons, Capt. Phineas
Pendleton I'd, and the largest, May Flint,
S2SS tons, Capt. E. D. P Nickels. Capt
lanes P. Butman commanded at differ
emit times nine ships, and Capt. Phineas
pendleton, Sd, and Capt. John McGilvery,
Zach commanded eight at different times.

TOWN TOPICS. OBITUARY.
MISS MARCIA TAYLOR.


 Once again, comes to US the knelI of death, the going 'of soul to the realm of the unRhown z of which" we hear much but know nothing. Miss Marcia Taylor, a former iresident of Botsford, Newtown but later of Mon roe.A died at the home of Mrs Gertrude Me Ewen of White Hills, whose kind hearted and .hospitable home gave her open welcome in the few last days of her life. She was 65 years of age. Miss Taylor had been a great sufferer for many years, being the victim of a runaway accident on Bagburn Hill nearly 40 years ago where she barely escaped with her life and from which she never recovered but has led lin gering life of i'll health the whole peri cd ofItime to her death. She was a lady of intelliger ce, well educated. and of stro ig character, teacher of schools many years, good neighbor, kind hearted with host of friends, wherever known, that kind of friends, that meant frendship of the true kind with all the elements of heart and char acter that bespeak trre woman. She possessed elements of character and usefulness second to none, which, but for her long continued illness, would have placed her in the front ranks of interest, yet, even as it was, she was widely known and mourned by large circle of friends. She was a daughter of Alonzo and Louisa Peck Taylor of Botsford, sister of Hon Edward Tay- Tor of Sandy Hook and Mrs Birdsey Nc Ewen, formerly of Monroe at present of Newtown. She was buried from the home of Mrs Gertrude McEwen' on Tuesday, December 29, Rev H. l. Thay- CT of East Village officiating. The fun eral arrangements were in charge of Prindle & Morris of Newtown. The pallbearers were w. s. Clarke, Myron s. Clarke, D. c. Wells and John Tom linson. The burial was at Botsford. Thus ended a long life of suffering. LID. c. w.
