PUBLIC LIBRARY
OF LEWISTON is
ENTERED MONDAY
Burglars Obtain S29.01 in Mon
ey from Drawer-Leave
Finger Prints

Lewiston, Me, July IA burglary at
the Lewiston public library in the night
Monday resulted in the loss of s29.01 in
money, bag of fruit and general
mix-up of letters and papers.
The library was closed at Q o'clock
Monday evening. When the janitor, John
Larocque, who has held this position for
about two months, entered the library
at 6.l5 Tuesday morning the first thing
he noticed was the pile of letters and
cards strewn over the delivery desk.
Going behind the desk ne found that
the money drawer had been tempered
with, the metal handle having been fore
ed almost off in the endeavor of the in
truder to pull open the drawer. There
were several places gouged out near the
lock, indicating that screwdriver, a
chisel or something of the sort had been
used as a pry.
In the private Office of the librarian the
center drawer of the desk was forced
open in similar way and this unlocked
the other drawers of the desk. In one
of these was kept the "strong-box'' and
this was very much battered and bent in
the work of opening
From the change drawer in the de-
livery desk, S3.07 was taken and from
the strong box 1884, making a to-
tai of s29.01. The bank book was kept
in the tin box and on this as on sew
eral letters and papers, finger prints
were plain, giving good opportunity
for use of the Bertillon test.
Portland Public library had a SIM
liar experience Sunday night, when the
building was entered, the cash drawer
forced open, and one dollar taken, this
being the sum left in the library.

While the two breaks may have no
connection. it is possible that some
one is making a business of raiding
libraries, though il seems a rather
dangerous risk for the small amounts
which they are apt to secure. The fact
that only a little money is usually
kept on hand is also believed by the
authorities and others to indicate the
work of amateurs rather than pro-
fessionals.

LABOR AS USELESS
Union Men to Vote Against the
Enterprise Unless the Coal
Strike Is Settled Soon

Denver, Jan. 30.-Denounced as n
useless enterprise" the Denver
Trades assembly speaking for union
labor in Denver, has sounded a word
of warning to all union men to vote
against the Moffat tunnel bond issue
making good the threat that il the
coal operators did not agree to rec
Ggnize the United Mine Workers,
that labor would be against the prop
osition when the time to vote came
The action of the Trades Assembly,
therefore, is the fulfillment of the
threat made several months ago, so
far as labor unionists in Denver are
concerned. On Feb. II Denver will
vote on the Moffat tunnel PROPOSE
tion which provides for bond issue
OF 100000.
In the meeting Sunday IL was op-
emily admitted that opposition to the
tunnel was due mainly because OF
the refusal of the tunnel commission
to guarantee the employment of Colo
rado unionists and the further fact
that the Routt county operators were
not treating fairly the striking
miners.
The vote OF the council was five to
one against endorsing the tunnel
proposition.

ASKS
FOR TARIFF ON
BANANA IMPORTS
lrOpic Fruit Cutting Down De-
mdnd for Apples, Says the
Local Fruit Man.

Manager Howard G. Fletcher of
the Grand Junction Fruit Growers
Association is preparing to ask con-
gress In its next tariff bill to levy a
duty or bananas. He is now taking
the matter up with Charles j. Brand.
of the office OF markets. as well as
with several congressman
The tremendous growth of the
banana industry in the United States
is the largest single factor in the re-
duction of prices for apples" de-
clareG Mr.. Fletcher yesterday in dis
cussing the matter. "The banana
concesslonaires in Central America
are making millions out of their in
dustry because they are put to a min
imum cost of production and distri-
button. The apple grower with ex-
pensiye land, water and marketing
cannot successfully compete with
him
The banana grower owns acres
upon acres of tropical land which
cost him little or nothing, but the
favor of the little republic in which
he operates. He has no water
charge, his labor is nominal and he
has no packing cost He merely
cuts the punches off the trees. drops
them into carrier and ships them.
He owns his own boat and can car
ry couple of trainloads at a time to
the nearest American port, where he
disposes of the fruit without duty. At
the seaboard he often sells the ba-
nanas retail at 10 cents a dozen and
the retailer makes big profit.
Against combination of that sort,
what can the expense-loaded apple
grower do2 He must have some sort
of protection and | am going to ask
the government to give it to him."
Mr.. Fletcher hopes to unite all the
deciduous and citrus fruit interests
in the United States in the movement
and finally secure a tariff of at least
25 cents bunch on all bananas
shipped into the United States.
Mr., Fletcher is frank, however. in
stating that the chances of raising the
duty during the present administra-
ton is not altogether hopeful.

house committee on interstate and
foreign commerce on the trade COM
mission bill.
A bill defining the restraints of
trade was taken. Representative
Stanely, who introduced the bill max
ing restraint of trade, whether "rea-
sonable or unreasonable" a violation
of law, made an argument for clear
ing up the twilight zone" He con-
tended that prior to the Standard Oil
and Tobacco cases the supreme court
had held that it was outside its prov
ince to determine whether the re-
straint was reasonable or unreason-
able" and declared that in some of
the cases the reasonable or unrea-
sonable" feature of the decisions
were merely incidental.

CANON CITY HAS
FIGHT TO OPEN
CRIPPLE ROAD
Railroad Commission Hearing
Suit 10 Compel Action by
the Florence Railroad.
Sentinel Special Service.

Denver. Jan. 30.-The state rail-
road commission is again hearing the
case of Canon City against the Flor
ence ana Cripple Creek Railroad Co.
wherein the plaintiffs seek to force
the railroad to reopen its line be-
tween Canon City and Cripple Creek
the roadbed for n distance OF four or
five miles having been washed out by
floods in 1912. The railroad has
stubbornly fought the case on the
grounds that the line never paid for
operating and to again reopen il
would only mean great financial loss.
During the past year the case has
been heard at various times with no
final results. The present hearing
probably will end the litigation. 1t
is expected that the taking of evil
dence will close today or tomorrow
and that the commission will then
take 1t under advisement.
On Dec last the railroad compa-
ny amended its certificate of incor-
poration and changed its southern
terminus from Florence to Wilbur. a
small station in Fremont county. Be
cause of this change the attorneys for
the railroad company made a mo-
tion to dismiss. The commission. in
view of the fact that no time had
been given the plaintiff to reply,
overruled the motion and proceeded
to go into the merits OF the case.
A former chief engineer of the
road, r. d. Stewart, testified that he
had made an estimate OF the probable
cost of rebuilding the washed-out sec
ton. and that 1t would be approx
mately 100000. Other estimates
made and given the commission at
its first days hearing, indicated that
the rebuilding of the line would not
exceed $4,000.

SHORTAGE OF PORK
in THE VALLEY NOW

There is a shortage of pork in the
valley at present, and ranchers who
2 few weeks ago were declaring that
they had already grown more than
enough to supply the local demand
can now find a good market in
Grand Junction.
LEGAL grocers attribute the short
age to the fact that the hogs are not
in marketable shape, and also to the
poor roads which prevent the ranch
ers from bringing in their produce.
For many weeks very little pork
has been shipped into the valley, but
a car is expected from Denver in a
few days to supply the shortage,
which is beginning to be felt. al
though local grocers have enough
pork on hand to meet the supply for
q short time.
