SAM LOEB MUST
SERVE SENTENCE
First Convicted VioIator of
Liquor Law Loses His Iona
Legal Battle.

Samuel Loeb, of Atlanta. the original
violator Of the state prohibition law" fined
$1,000, with an alternative of twelve
months on the road gang. after fighting
his case unnecessarily all the way to
the supreme court of the United States,
has been turned down finally in his last
attempt to evade sentence, by the prison
commissions refusal to recommend Glenn
ency to the governor
Loeb's legal battle to avoid both the
fine and the gang sentence has been ex-
pensive. lie was the first man con-
victed under the law enacted in 1907,
and he has been fighting since.
He went before the prison commission
is last resort, and told it he was I'M
able to pay fine of 81, 600 and that he
could not. therefore, avail himself of the
alternative TO a gang sentence-and it
certainly did hurt his feelings nightly
TO think of going to the road gang and
wearing stripes.
Therefore, wouldn't the commission cut
down that fine to something Iike-well
say, Sab? Loeb thought he could rake
and scrape together that much
No, the commission would not reduce
that tine-not even to 1899 80. 1t was the
fun $1,000 from Loeb, or the gang
Loeb feels that he has been pretty bad
ly rough housed" by the commission, but
there is no. escape. He must pay up, OF

Colonel Lashes His Opponents
In Singing Speech at Chicag 0

most striking campaign speech thus
far was delivered here, tonight. lie
dashed his opponents and charged
some of them with using fraud and
tricllery to defeat him.
Col. Roosevelt said it was lighting
speech It WAS delivered before d
throng which packed the auditorium
and cheered him enthusiastically. The
primaries in New York, yesterday,
furnished the text for his speech and
he cited a number of instances in
which he said his opponents resorted
to wrong practices to defeat him. He
expressed belief that in the great ma :
jority of districts of the country the
people We're with him and that the OPP
position was trying to defeat him by
methods which he characterized as
Infamous"
Part of Col. Roosevelts speech was
devoted to Pig Rs" He opposed
Our present policy of chaos and
gave his own ideas of the methods
which should be pursued to insure
strict regulation of large corporations.
Chicago gave the former President
a lively welcome. Crowds cheered him
AT he station when he arrived, and
whenever he appeared during the nine
hours of his stay here.

AMI Judge Hand sustained him in this
and other points along the same line.
Mr. Nicon asked Mr.. Parsons what he
meant by saying in his letter to II. o

to do was ITO nurse 1t along
Il had told Mr.. KisseL" the witness
replied, that Segal had obtained a mil
lion and a quarter of the sugar com
pany's money, and I said that he had nc
right TO use that money in a way tina
was harmful to the company. Although
this was before the Standard Oil anG
Tobacco cases, it seemed to me mos;
reasonable that the sugar company'S
own money should not be received by Sc

The witness referred to correspondence

Gov. Dix Can't Order
Another Primary.

Albany, y. Y, March 27.-Gov Dix
has no power to order another pri-
mary election in New York City, as
the question is one with which the
Legislature and the courts must deal.
This is the substance of an opinion
given to Gov. Dix, tonight, by Attor-
uey General Carmody.
William Barnes, ,Ir., chairman of the
Republican State committee, in n
statement, tonight, contends that
there is no legal standing to the sug-
gestion that another primary be held.
The opinion of the attorney gener-
al was given the Governor after the
latter had received telegram from
Charles il. Duell of New York. chair
man of the Roosevelt committee, pro-
testing against the conditions that
existed at the primaries. yesterday,
and suggesting that another primary
be held ITO abate the public sense
Of outrage and to solve an intelerable
situation
After a talk with Mr. Carmody, Sem
ator Stillwell introduced a bill, today,
to give the courts the power to order
Q new primary. Objections by Ma
pority Leader Wagner and Minority
Leader Bracket to the advancement
of the measure practically precludes
any action being taken on the bill at
this session of the Legislature.
Mr.. Barnes gave out the following
statement:
The failure of the printer to pro-
vide the official ballots for the pri-
mary on Tuesday in the city of New
York at the hour of the opening of
the polls was most unfortunate, he
cause the defeated candidates now are
endeavoring publicly TO becloud the
title of their successful opponents.
Section 81 of the election law, how
ever, governs distinctly the failure of I
printer to produce ballots by providing
for the use of unofficial ballots so that
ample opportunity was afforded the va
rious candidates to supply the difficulty
of the printer. This provision of the law
absolutely establishes the election of
those who received a plurality of the
votes that were cast and there is ~
power in the Legislature or in the
courts of the state TO take away from
the candidate so elected the rights which
they secured at the primary.
Suggestion that another primary b
held, therefore, cannot possibly. have
any meaning, because it can have no le-
gal standing.
1T is not surprising that those who
advocate lawlessness and disregard Of
constitutional rights in other matters
should be unwilling to submit to the
law in this case, where the accident n
the delay in furnishing the ballots I'M
questionahly resulted in less pre-
nounced expression of the popular will Of
the enrolled Republicans against them
Returns indicate that nearly zoe. a00
Republicans in the state of New YORK.

though in most districts no opposition
candidates were nominated"

ADDRESS BY LEGISLATURE.
CONTINUED From Page -

tend the session for the remainder OF
the week Such an investigation would
not delay, or otherwise interfere witt
the formal ceremony of electing Oba
diah Gardner as United States sena-
tor. as the vote. Tuesday, in the House
and Senate, and the declaration OF
election, Wednesday, in joint eonVen-
ton, occur at noon on each day.
The Constitution and statute laws
of the State of Maine do not permit
the removal of an unfaithful sheriff
or Judge by the Governor and Council
except on address by the Legislature
This procedure has been resorted to
but a very few times in the history
of the State.
The method of procedure in such a
case Is provided for by Section OF
Article of the Constitution, as fol-
lows: Every person holding any
civil office under this State may be
removed by Impeachment for misde-
meanor in office: and every person
holding any office, may be removed by
the Governor, with the advice OF the
Council, on the address of both
branches of the Legislature. But be-
fore such address shall pass either
house, the causes of removal shall be
stated and entered on the Journal OF
the House in which it originated, and
a copy thereof served on the person
in Office that he may be admitted to
n hearing in his defence"
The most recent case where an at
tempt was made to impeach an officer
by address of the Legislature, occurred
in 1907, being the case of Judge Hen
ry J. Chapman of the Bangor NUM-
cipal court, who was acquitted of the
charges against him.
A resolution for an address was SUBJ
mitted in the House at the request of
Rev II. y. Pringle of Waterville of
the Christian Civic League. The reso-
luton was submitted by Marcellus J.
Dow. then representing the town of
Brooks, and afterwards Republican
candidate for senator from Waldo
county.
Both branches of the Legislature
passed the resolution calling for an in
vestigation, joint select committee
was appointed to conduct the affair
and the Legislature met in joint con-
vention to hear the evidence. Both
the State and the accused We're rep
resented by counsel. The Civic League
engaged Judge Benjamin +. Cleaves of
Riddeford and George A. Emery OF
Saco to prepare the case. The attor-
ney general of the State, whose duty
it would naturally have been to prose-
cute the case, stepped aside and al
lowed the Civic League attorneys To
prosecute the case.
Sheriff Emery has already engaged
as counsel in his case Leroy Haley oil
Biddeford. 1t is likely that Attorney
General Pattangall will take active
charge of the prosecution.

CANADIAN LEGAL TALENT
Make Objection to Amount of Water
Used from Michigan.

Washington, March ga notabl
BODY of Canadian legal talent, with {.
fair sprinkling of large business inter
ests, harbor commissions, Boards of
Trade, and mercantile marine organ
iZations, passed two hours before Sec.
rotary Stimson, today, in vigorous
protests against the application of the
sanitary district of Chicago for per
mission to more than double tn.
amount of water now being withdraw
from Lake Michigan through the Chi
cago drainage canal.
Secretary Stimson was flanked by
General Bixby, chief of engineers, and
Maj. Jacwin of the same corps, who
have already gone on record as dep
recating any increase in the flow of
water through the canal and with
whom he at times consulted on tech
| meal points developed in the hearing.
The Canadians arguments covered
a wide range, but the basic one was
| an assertion supported by figures, from
reports OF the joint waterways com
| mission, and that of the special
American Engineers Board, headed by
Gen. Rixby, last summer, to show
| that the drainage canal had already
seriously damaged lake navigtion and
| tht II was reasonably certain that to
allow the application for the increa sed
| flow Of water through the canal would
greatly increase the damage TO the
lake and St Lawrence river points
| +. s. Spencer, harbor commissioner
| OF Toronto, said that at periods OF
| low water it was even now impossible
| for vessels drawing IA feet to get into
that harhor, although il had beer
dredged te the rock. David Seath
secretary OF the Montreal Harbor
| Commission. described the vast COM
1 mercial Importance Of the harboi
which would be injuriously affected by
| the increase of water flow through the
drainaga canal.
Andrew A. Allan president of III,
Allan Steamship Co, pointed out th,
experience OF six cruises Of two OF his
vessels, last year, when, owing to low
water, they sacrificed S340 tons of car,
go capacity.

and declared that Montreal harbo
