Washington Co. Sheriff
Strikes a Rum Saag.
Scheme to Defeat The Webb Law
In Eastern Part Of State.
Liquors Consigned TO Parties Across
Border and Struggled In.

The Webb law is Il disturbing factor
in The life of Sheriff Woodman of
Washington county, and he has been
at the State capital cunning for advice
ami information. AS result of Mr..
Woodmans difficulties in enforcing the
law, Your Uncle Samuel may be in
Vited to take a hand in surrounding
the obstacles.
The chief trouble met by the WASH
ington county sheriff is the new
~cheme devised by the booze makers
and sellers, to defeat the law. Maine
parties order the goods from Massa-
cnusetts delivered across the border
in New Brunswick. From there they
take it across in motor boats and
snuggle 1t ashore in some secluded
spot.
The sheriff does not dare to seize the
stuff (Which he is satisfied is eventu-
ally coming back to Maine) when il is
at PASSPORT or Calais, for fear of get
ting his toes pinched in international
traffic.
The matter seems to become a mat
tel OF smuggling, pure and simple, but
the sheriff thinks much of the wet
goods never reaches the line but is
landed and hidden from the boats in
which it leaves the Maine cities.
Acting With federal officers, Maine
officers might make matters highly in
teresting for the booze outlaws of the
eastern part of the State.
Sheriff Woodman said he should not
fear an investigation but he should
| dislike it and he felt that there was ne
cause for it and was wholly unlikely

therefore, Governor Burleigh immedi-
ately returned to Baltimore where he
had previously engaged the services

a specialist in this class of cases Sen
ator Burleigh was admitted to the
Johns Hopkins hospital, where he hss
ever since been undergoing treatment
preliminary to the final operation.
On March IA, as a part of the pre-
paratory treatment, a minor opera
ton was performed. Some i'll effects
erward, occasioning considerable anxi-
ETY. to the Senator's friends and rel
atives, but this condition disappeared
in a few days, and no danger is ap-
pretended. The Senator's trouble IS
not organic in its nature. and no ma
lignant conditions have developed.
The exact date of the final opera

pending upon the length of prepare

The reports for the last week have
been encouraging, and Senator Bur
