Schooner G. P Hudson
Has Lively Fight

VINEYARD Haven, Mass, Jan. g
Bearing ugly scars Of a terrific ex-
perience in the Christmas blizzard the
schooner George p. Hudson, with coal
from Norfolk for Boston, arrived here

staunchness of her Maine built hull

Yankee skipper. Anxiety for the safe
~ of the Hudson had been felt in Nor
folk. although the steamer Katahdn,
which arrived in Boston Friday, re-
ported having sighted the schooner

lightship badly crippled but refusing
assistance.
The Hudson, commanded by Capt.
Thomas, attempted to ride out the
Christmas gale off the Capes of Vir-
ginia light. Early Sunday morning
the vessels violent plunging snapped

commenced to drag, fortunately off

shifted, giving the vessel a bad list to

Sec. Pling|e Finds More
IntoxiCation in Maine,
Problbitory Law Works Well
Needs Better Enforcement.
democrats will Make a Howl for
Resubmission Plank.

Watervl!e, Ne, Jan. 2.-The Rev.
Henry ~ Pringle of this city, the sec
rotary of the Maine Civic League, has
made an exhaustive examination of the
subject of intoxication in this State,
and finds that the increase is 45 per
cent for the 10 years ending in 1908.
The growth Of population from 1900 to
1903 has been only II per cent.
Official records SHOW the arrests for
jntoxication i'm % cities and towns
were $500 in 1906 and in 1908 the num-
Der was increased to 1921.
In Auburn the number grew from
13S in 1896 to 1872 in 1903. In Augusta
the increase was from APO to 51l; in
Bangor from 1852 to 1872: in Biddeford
from 299 to alb; in PASSPORT from 10
to AZ: in Lewiston from 800 to 1886; In
Ola Town from 62 to 244; in Portland
from 1856 to 3049; in Rockland from
200 to 2S9; in Saco from al to 70; in
Waterville frcm 81 to 1888: in Bruns-
wick from 42 to 10; in Westbrook from
Is 20 Al.
Only five of the % cities and towns
quoted show a decrease in the number
Of arrests for drunkenness. 1t is
claimed that the biggest gain in ar
rests for INVESTIGATION has been during
the time the Sturgis enforcement act
las been on the statute books.
Mr.. Pringe in his conclusions is of
the opinion that, upon the whole,
State WIDE prohibition has been a
good thing for the State, but is of the
belief that it would be much more er-
fective if the law was more Impartial
~ and honestly enforced.
The license element is taking adj
vantage of this report of Secretary
Pringle and claims that it proves that
prohibition does not prohibit. There
is a strong element in the Democratic
party in favor of declaring for license
in the next party platf0fm and it is
Selling upon Mr.. Pringle's report to
advance it's cause which hitherto has
been opposed by the Democrats in the
country towns, who have only been
willing to compromise upon the re-
submission of the entire question to q
vote of the people.
Some prominent Democrats have
been in favor of eliminating the rum
question from the next state platform,
but they will now have to listen to the
element which is determined To make
the liquor question a paramount issue.

New York, Jan. with a supreme
effort to be cheerful, but with emotion
occasionally getting the better of him,
Charles w. Morse left New York today
to serve 10 years in the federal prison
at Atlanta, Ga, for the violation Of the
national banking laws
Before leaving the Tombs, where he
had been confined for the greater part
OF the past year pending the outcome
OF his futile efforts he received his wife
and two sons and then the newspaper
men. He was too affected to say any
thing but he handed out a carefully
prepared statement of comment on his
case. The general understanding was
that his wife was to accompany him
South, but it could not be ascertained
whether she was on the same train
with him.
Morse left Jersey City on the Brm-
ingham Flyer of the Southern Railway
at 1913 A. NJ, in custody of Deputy
United States Marshal John Steeblins
and Henry Linicus. Marshal Eenkel,
who had charge of Morse during the
trial, accompanied his prisoner as far
as Washington The party occupied
a stateroom. Morses statement is bit
ter ard dramatic.

sentence ever pronounced against q
citizen in a civilized country" is his
opening sentence.
Il have hoped" the statement con-
tinucs, with that hope which comes
from q consciousness of my innO-
cence that I will not have to close out
forever the light and liberty of this
world under such an inhuman sentence.
I had felt that the fact that 1 had paid
a fine of 100000 and served a year in
prison would satisfy the cry Of for q
victim and ] have steadily believed
that the courts would be compelled to
give me a new trial

Morse braced himself for a final pfc>
ture by crowd OF newspaper pho.
tosraphers, but he said nothing fur
Their. He hid his face in a newspaper
after he had boarded the car. The
train is due in Atlanta about noon to-
morrow.
Mrs. Morse did not accompany her
husband to Atlanta. Seen at her home
tonight, Mrs. Morse said:
II am going to Atlanta tomorrow,
and I shall probably live there until
my husband is released. l will devote
al my time in getting up a petition to
that end. In the last two weeks l have
received thousands of letters. all the
writers expressing sympathy with my

Get the most out of it. Vacation
means rest for the man and woman

that is necessary to accomplish results.
The suisine and the hotel and it's en-

can spend week there without feeling
