Lest it should be thought that the lead
ing bottlers are little tardy about getting
at the matter, it may be explained that
at least one of the bottlers could not
have attended meeting earlier than last
week, as he had to complete a thirty
days sentence imposed at the March term
of court for violation of the prohibitory
law-not, however, for the sale of Uno,
but stronger liquor.
Oxford Democrat. [volume] (Paris, Me.) 1833-1933, 1909-04-27

With the bottlers paying the bills, it
will probably not be difficult to secure
the signatures of ten thousand men who
are sufficiently DESTROYS of purchasing
Uno to put their names to petition for
referendum.

There is in Massachusetts, almost as
much ignorance of Maine as exists in the
Office Of the New York Sun. One Mas

and the Springfield Republican refers to

yet unnecessary waste in forest fires" as
debated" apparently without knowl-
edge of the fact that Maine has for
number of years had system of pro-
lection from fires which has saved
large amount of forest.

Green wood.

There was dearth in the land last
year which diminished the hay crop Is
per cent in some places, as perhaps a
few persons still remember; then a
dearth of sap this spring, reducing the
amount of syrup about the same, and
the last of all, up to date, dearth of
smelts; one man having been out three
evenings, the first not smelt, and the
other two little more than enough for a
square meal. What next?

"Begin at the bottom and work up"
is the advice given, and generally it is
correct; but there are exceptions to that
rule in common with all others. For
examples, in sweeping down stairs it
makes better work to commence at the
top and proceed downward; also in
pitching off hay, and especially in dig

given, but these are sufficient to illus
trate the point in question.
And now they are talking about writ

SAN FRANCISCO, June H.
Floating in the waters of the bay
near the rocks off Fort Point, the
body of woman, apparently
shout 35 years of age, was dis
covered early today by w. F. Gam.
fert, rancher. Gamfert notified
the life-saving station and the
body was rescued from the waters
and taken to the city morgue.
/ The police believe the body
which was badly decomposed, had
been beneath the water at least q
month. II was dressed in what
probably was neat tailored suit
OF green. The underskirt and
stockings were of black silk.
The only clew which may lead
to Identification is q gold watch,
which was pinned to the wadst
upon the cover of which is en-
xraved the initials "T. G. g."
Upon a finger was q wedding ring
inside of which was the inscrip-
tien stE. to G., 1893"
The case is q barring one to the
police. The decomposed state OF
the body precludes the possibility
|of Identification at the morgue
and the detectives who have been
detailed upon the case have little
upon which 70 base their opera
tions..

SEATTLE, June 11.-Washing-
ton lumbermen are highly pleased
today by news from the East
which Is taken to indicate the re-
vival of buying In the lumber IN
dustry. The news reached the
city in the form Of specifications
for. lumber orders aggregating
more than 100000 feet, which
is expected to bring into the
Northwest a quarter of a million
dollars.
The specifications came from
car manufacturers in Chicago, st.
Louis and Milwaukee and call for
car building material, including
car siding, sills, framing and lin
ing and the best quality is want
ed. The Milwaukee & Chicago
specifications state that the ma
terials are for use in the manu-
facture of 1900 refrigerator cars
for the Northern Pacific railroad.
Another inquiry is from the
American Car & Foundry COM
pany of ST. Louis for bill of lum-
ber aggregating 100000 feet of
the best materials.
These are the first large lumber
orders that have been received In
Washington for nearly year and
lumbermen believe that the busi-
ness now in sight here heralds the
return of old time activity in the
industry.

The third industry is to be an

This machine has revolution

A ROC|OlJS
CRIME IN
N. 7.
Head of Murdered rlan
Found Under Brooklyn
b ridge-Body Cut
to Pieces

NEW YORK, June 11.-Discoy-
cry today OF the head Of Samuel
bersin, the Russian painter whose
dismembered body was found in
an oilcloth package In Catherine
street last night, leads the police
to believe that some motive other
than robbery was behind the afro
cious crime.
The head was found under
Brooklyn bridge, a considerable
distance from where the body was
left in the care of a small boy
who was given a dime to watch
the package"
Bersfn Is known. to have had
considerable money and jeweIry
on his person yesterday, a short
time before his disappearance.
The fact that the signature OF the
Black Hand was written on the
bundle in which the limbs and
torso were found does not con-
vince the police that the crime is
chargable to that organization
and they are loath to believe that
robbers would have undertaken
such an elaborate scheme for max
ing away with victims body.
Bersin Is said by selatives to
have been involved recently in
some sort OF quarrel over the
affertions of young woman and
the deteities are now trying to run
down a clue throhgn the possi-
bilfty of a jealous rival being i'm
Iplicated in the case.

MEAT INSPECTORS

Startling Charges of Filthy Conditions

charges that meat inspectors

filthy conditions prevail there,

ing to an announcement made
today.
The charges were made by
j. #. Harms. an inspector,
who resigned after working
i'm the yards for 18 months.
In q letter to Secretary Will
son, Harms declared that the
disregard for government reg
ulati0ns was of a decidedly
sensational nature. He said
that government meat i'm
spection at st. Louis is q
farce"
Probe Ordered.
Two inspectors have been
directed to go to the st. Louis
yards at once and make q
thorough investigation of com
ditiOns there.
That he has seen from 100
to 1900 pounds of lard
spilled on the filthy floors,
and that this same lard has
afterwards been collected
from the sewer and placed on
the market, fs one of the
startling statements made by
Harms.
''The inspection of the ma
tiOnal stock yards" he says,
ais costing the people approx
imateIy 100000 a year, and
it is not actually worth 81 to
them.
"The lard which has passed
through the spume and filth
of sewers has afterwards gone
to markets in the United
States inspected and passed"

ALGIERS, June 1.-THE crew
of the German steamer Ava has
arrived here on the tseamer East
gate. having been picked UP on
Pantellarie island yesterday, fol-
lowing their escape from the Ava,
which was blown to pieces by a
dynamite explosion.
Fire broke out at night on the
German steamer. which was bound
from Hamburg fer vladivostok.
and, as dynamite formed the
greater part OF the cargo, the crew
made haste to launch the life
boats and pull away from the ves-
sci before the fire had time to
reach the hold.
They were none too soon, for
within 15 minutes after the ships
had been abandoned q terrific ex-
plosion took place, which liter
ally tore the steamer to pieces and
left the water covered with wreck

The foregoing is the law OF the
state of Washington.
It went into effect yesterday
after three months notice had
been given to the people of the
state of its passage by the last
Legislature, and yet 1t is being ig-
nored by practically every saloon
in the city of Tacoma today.
Furthermore the saloonlteepers
say they have no intention Of
obeying 1t.
And the mayor says he has no
intention of enforcing II unless
the prosecuting attorney wishes.
"The saloonkeepers say the qaw
is no good and there Is question
about 1t but II the prosecuting at
torney desires It enforced we will
lend him all the officers necessary
but 1t is q state law and II II
not up to the police department
to enforce state laws unless d.
rected to do 30 by the prosecu-
tor" said Mayor Linck today.
Nearly all the. saloons on Pa
cific avenue have barriers in front
that effectually exclude all view
of the interior from the outside.
Most of them have cidar stands or
barber shops In front OF them. To
conform to the law would require
many of them to tear out these
partitions and put in plate glass
fronts.
They do not intend to do It.
And the mayor takes his usual
position that 1t is not up TO him.
"The police department. is to
enforce city ordinances and SIM
ply act In case of violence or mobs
and to maintain general order" IL
the statement of the mayors posi-
tion reiterated on all questions Of
law enforcement.
He says the police Departments
is not to enforce general statutes
except on complaint.
The people generally have an
idea that the police department. u
paid to maintain all law and pre-
vent all lawlessness, but the may
or says not. He declares outside
of maintaining the geenral peace
and looking after mobe and ~
saults and city ordinances the en-
forcement of law is up to the
prosecutor.
In the meantime the law 10 be-
ing violated by all the saloon
keepers in the city.
Same Attitude ON Cigarettes z
"I take the same position on
the anti-sigarette law. said the
mayor. I'VE will furnish the
prosecutor all the officers he de-
sires If he wishes to enforce Tho
law, but we have made no move

matter"

The law of Washington
says it is a crime TO have

have them, but
Mayor Linck says 1t is UP

Prosecutor McMurray says
1t is up to the mayor or
somebody else to file COM

The law is plain enough
and the new code makes 1t
a crime for a public official
to neglect to enforce the law.
But the mayor says that
means McMurray and Nc
Murray says 1t means some

Anyway the prosecutor
says it's a new thing, and
while he says he will prose-

evident that he does not in
