MR.. PLAISTED TAKES OATH
Within Two Hours Maine Senate
Votes to Repeal Sturgis Law.

Augusta Me, Jan. 5.-Frederick w.
Plaistcd. of this city, took the oath OF office
in the Hall Of Representatives to-day, and
is now the Governor of the State Of Maine,
the first Democrat 10 hold the Office in
thirty years or since the completion Of the
term of his father, the late General Harris
NJ Plalsted.
Governor Plaisted had not been i'm Office
two hours before the Senate passed to be
sngrosed under suspension OF the rules, a
bill repeating the Sturgis law. The sturgis
law IS a measure placed on the statute
books several years ago and was designed
by the Republicans to enforce the pro-
hibitory law. Under the SturGis measure
special liquor officers went into the terri
tory Of county sheriffs and prosecuted
liquor sellers. Many Republicans hold that
the defeat of their party i'm Maine last Sep
tsmber was largely due TO the unpopularity
Cf this Law.
In his inaugural address Governor Plais-
ted urged the adoption OF business methods
i'm the administration OF the affairs Of the
state, the abolition of unnecessary Offices
and the consolidation Of departments
wherever good judgment warrants it,
The Governor. after reviewing the broad
question OF constitutional prohibition, said
The time has arrived when plain words
should be spoken. For more than half a
century we have had upon our statute
books and for o quarter OF 4 century in
the constitution Of our state prohibition OF
the manufacture and sale of intoxicating
LIQUORS and looking back over these years
no fair minded man can refrain from feel
ings OF disgust. Not only has the purpose
failed of accomplishment. but hypocrisy
corruption and disrespect for law have beer
begotten.
We are dealing with a problem Ak old as
the human race and confined to no country
We must he actuated solely by an honest
desire TO promote the welfare of the state
and set our stamp of diSapproval upon al
alliances between those who would viola T.
any law and those charged with its eXecu-
ton. In doing this we shall take no back
ward step in the cause of temperance, but
rather advance true temperance.

micr or Newfoundland, who was eutcr-
tanned at the Chamber Of Commerce to.
day. said that he anticipated no trouble

oG reasonable diplomacy my country will
participate Newfoundland has three or
four items 10 Offer the United States the

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-With re-
gard to aviation and the use of air

rotary Meyer viii say in his annual
report
I'm the experimental work for the de-
velopment of aviation in the navy the
department has endeavored TO ell
courage the production of aeroplanes,
and especially those fitted for use from
s%hipboard.
with the purchase of three flying
machines several officers have qualified
as aviators, and valuable practical ex-
p~erience by the first naval aviators has
been gained during the many miles of
flight in these machines over both land
and water.
The primary object which has domi-
mated the work so far is the eventual
use of the l%aeroplane from ships of the
navy as an aid in scouting, in recon
Nuisance of an enemy's mine fields OF
other defense and in communication
between strips or between ships and
advanced bases or between the fleet
and a cooperating force or shore"

to Be a Suicide.

NEW YO- K, Nov. 27.-Mrs. Alice

of Trinity Church, Dublin, drank car
bolic acid from a bottle as she sat in
the restaurant of the Golf House, Van
.Cortlandt Park, yesterday l. raing.
Che died in an ambulance on the way
to Fordham Hospital.
The direct cause of Miss Tristram's
suicide, if 1t be such, was the fact that
with the remnants of her voice and all,
she had failed even in an effort to
obtain employment in moving picture
theatres. She had received a try out
on the roof of the New York Theatre
and practically had been Kissed from
the stage by an audience that thought
Wagner music inferior to ragtime.

HAMMOND TELLS
OF JAMESON RAID.
Denies Revolution Was Being
FOmented by His Party.

BOSTON. Nov. 27.-At the monthly
dinner of the Clover Club John
Hays Hammond, for the first time
told the true story of the events
in South Africa leading up to the jane
son raid, the arrest Of himself and
sixty-four other memSers of the re-
fo-zl committee in Johannesburg, his
sentence to death, which was fore
stalled by a telegram from Richard
Olney. the then secretary of state in
Cleveland's cabinet. of the commuta-
ton of the death sentence to life i'm
prisonment and of the subsequent ag1-
tation and pardon of the prisoners.
loom Paul Kruger said Ham
mond, was an extraordinary man. He
was courageous, but he was cunning
and marrow and far from being a
patriot Of the George Washington type.
when Kruger learned that the re-
form committee had 10000 stands of
arms and thirty canno he began to
negotiate"
Kruger played false with the reform
committee after the Jameson raid,
broke all of his promises and after he
had secured the arms in johannesburg
through Sir Hercules Robinson. he ar
rested the entire committee.
Then not wanting a public trial ne
gave the arrested men to understand
that if they pleaded guilty they would
be let off with a fine. After pleading
guilty they We're sentenced to be hanged
inside of "a hours and the gibbets
We're ready for them when Secretary
Olney's dispatch arrived in the night,
along with many other dispatches.
