OLD HASTINGS BILL.

Liquor has made It's appearance ut
last in the titles of the bills before
the 18th Maine Legislature. The old
Hastings bill, providing for straight
jail sentences for violation of the pro-
hi5itory law-but SO disguised by
phrasing that it was not generally rec
ognized until the bill had been print
ed and its trail followed through the
Revised statutes-was discovered, on
Monday
But one liquor matter, outside Ct the
so-called Hastings bill has reached
here thus far, and that was a meas
ere introduced by Representative
Sturgis OF Auburn which would per
NIT druggists to sell certain malt Ii
quors
The bill, which makes jeil sentences
obligatory in liquor cases, was pre-
scented in the Legislature Of 1909 b.
Hon. Herbert II. Hastings Of Bethel
4 member of the Senate from Oxfora
county. The bill passed both houses
but was vetoed by Governor Fernaid
IN attempt was made to pass the bill
over the Governors veto. one of the
leading adherents Of the bill beins
senator Carl r. Mi!liken Of Aroostoo!x.
the present President of the Senate.
but the necessary two thirds vote
could not be mustered.
The act was introduced at this ses-
sion by Representative Bragdon of
Sullivan. VINO is said to have tenn
2eranee proclivities Of a strong kind.
The title of the bill is simply AN Act
n amendment of Section l. Chapter
1876 of the Revised Statutes. relating
o sentences in criminal cases."
The bill reads as follows:
Be it enacted by the People of the
state of Maine, as follows:
Section l. Section of Chapter 1916
9f the Revised Statutes is hereby
4mended by striking cut all that part
of said section beginning with the
word when in the fifth line of said
section and ending with the word
BOTH in the seventh line of said Sec
lon so that said section, as amended
shall read as follows:
Section l. No person shall be MN
lshed for an offence until convicted
ehereof IN court having Jurisdiction
OF the person and ease. When no
punishment is provided by statute a
person convicted of an offence shall
De punished for less than a year or
hned not exceeding $500. In all cases
Where a fine is imposed he may he
| sentenced to pay the costs of prose-
cutlon; ana for violation of Sections
A. -, "a, 40 and "a of Chapter 20 ne
shaH be sentenced to pay such costs y
Inc sections of Chapter % refer
red TO in the bill are the various meth
ods OF bringing cases against alleged
liquor dealers.
ne feature which gives this bill its
teeth IS the sentence which it takae
OUT OF the present Statute and which
IS as follows; when it is provided
ne shall be punished by Imprisonment
| ana fine, or by fine and in addition
thereto Imprisonment, he may be SER
fenced to either or both"
This sentence is the Joker of the
Maine prohibitory liquor law which
mas given judges discretion in giving
| sentences in liquor cases, and without
H. JAZZ sentences will be obligatory.
The Introduction of this bill at This
session will make the liquor question
| nearly as prominent as if a resuh-
mission resolve had been started again
ana It's course will be watched with .
| great deal Of interest.

Albany, Feb. 24.-Harry X. Thaw
will be asked to tell Gov Suffers
committee of inquiry what he knows
concerning the most recent attempts
to secure his release from Matteawan
State Hospital for the Criminal Insane,
where he has been confined for five
years for the killing of Stanford White.
This announcement BY the committee
today, followed a bitter attack by VIM.
+. Clark, former secretary Of the COM
mittee, upon what he termed The
so-called prison ring

been relieved from duty as secretary
pending investigation of charges that
he had used Coy. Suffers name with
out the executives authority in an at
tempt to bring about the release of
Thaw, was permitted TO take the
stand Immediately he launched into
an attack upon the prison authorities,
including Col. Joseph f. Scott. super
intendent Of state prisons, and DR.
John w. Russell. superintendent of the
institution at Matteawan.
DIR. James Y May. chairman of the
State Hospital Commission. was also
connected with Clarks insinuations.
Clark declared, that in the early part
of January. information came to him
that the "So-called prison ring" which
was made up of superintendent Scott
and his immediate underlings, were
engaged in a conspiracy to involve the
governor OF the state so they might
be retained in their profitable business
in brokerage pardOns which they had
conducted under Gov. Dix. He declin-
ed to divulge from whom he had re
ceiVed his information, but requested
that Thaw himself be questioned.

UNITED STATES VIeILANT.

Washington. Feb. 24-Military or
ders flew thick and fast, today, in re-
demption of President Taft's promise
to have an army of 10000 men as
sembled at Galveston, the most con-
venient port To Mexico, all equipped
for foreign service and ready to exc
cute any order that his successor
might choose 10 issue upon the basis
of the conditions that will exist, after
March 4.
These orders on the whole wert
supplementary to those which began
10 flow from the war department, to-
wards the end Of last week, and were
calculated to insure the assemblage Of
the second division of the re- organized
army at or in the neighborhood of
Galveston.
The completion of the orders to
move the entire second division is in
tended as further warning to Mexico
that there will be departure from the
established policy of preparedness,
during the remaining week of Presi-
dent Taft's administration.
All plans for the possible sending
of troops into the Republic to the
south will continue the same minute
ness of detail, which would charac-
terize official orders had the present
acute condition arisen in Mexico at
any time earlier in the strife which
has rent that republic since the first
uprising against Porfirio Diaz more
than two years ago. This course is
justified ON the ground that any cessa :
ton in the closing days or even hours
of the Taft administration might be
seized hold of by Mexican malcon-
tents as an opportunity for strike
at Americans which could not be ade-
quately overcome. should officials re-
lax their vigilance.
The state department has given
little thought to the question of po-
litical recognition of the new govern
ment in Mexico, inclining to await
further developments in the situation
and willing to regard it largely by the
recommendations of Ambassador Will
son, whose course so far, under ex
tremely difficult and delicate circum
stances, has met with the UNQUALIFIED
approval of department.
