Landing the Bangor RumseIIers.

Edmund Tardiff, alleged liquor
dealer. was arrested by Sheriff O'Con-
nell Monday at Bangor and gave the
biggest bail demanded for some time
in Penobscot county-$2500. There
were five counts against Tardiff,
who has been sought industriously
but was not here while court was
sitting. One charges him with Illegal
ly running a hand car on the Bangor
e. Aroostook railroad-this being, the
authorities allege, when he trans
ferred big shipment from Glenburn
station to the farm of one Louis De-
Lair, where it was afterward seized.
Details of the episode are familiar to
readers of the Bangor News, Tardiff is
also charged with breaking into the
handcar house, and there are three liq-
uor nuisance indictments against him.
He was taken to the sheriffs office,
where, before Bail Commissioners
Chas. Reed and Daniel w. Mason, he
gave bonds of $500 in each case. Frank
Largay, Charles Milan, Richard ID.
Grove and Hugh f. Thompson, alleged
liquor dealers, were also arrested
Monday on capiases, each giving $500
bail for appearance next September.
A search of the Eastern Steamship
wharves yielded 60 quarts, and of the
Maine Central sheds 4S quarts-all
hard liquors.

Dolan Again Road
COm'r of Brunswick

Brunswick, Me-, March 17.-Bruns-
wick selectmen Tuesday appointed
Thomas E. Dolan road commissioner
for three years.
He was first elected to this office
in 1910 and has been reelected an
nually until this year, when by a
change in the law the selection of
road commissioner was left to the Sc
leetmen.
During his entire term Mr.. Dolan
has been a firm advocate of perma-
nent road construction and has work.
ed in perfect sympathy with the State
highway department.
At the recent election. the appoint
ment of road commissioner was one
of the principal arguments used in
favor of the reelection of the exist
ing Democratic board of selectmen.
With their reelection Mr.. Dolan's re-
appointment became certainty. The
only question was the length OF time
for which he might be appointed.

bill for regulation Of fishing in in
ternational waters between the Unit
ed States and Canada. On the table
in his office Mr.. Peters has a big
chart of Passamaquoddy bay, which
he obtained from the Coast and &C.
odetic Survey. He wants to know
the definition of territorial waters
of Passamaquoddy bay, as used in
the Flood bill. To this end he has
been poiing questions at Representa-
tive Flood of Virginia, whose name
the bill carries, Mr., Flood being
chairman of the foreign affairs COM
mittee which reported the fisheries
bill to the House.
When Mr.. Peters demanded to
know of him what was meant by the
territorial waters of Passamaquod-
dy bay, Mr.. Flood admitted that he
did not know and suggested that MIR,
Peters consult DIR. Hugh NJ. Smith,
United States commissioner of fish
cries. Mr.. Peters went to DR.. Smith,
who looked wise for few minutes
and suggested that the congressman
run over to the Coast and Geodetic
Survey and inquire of the government
geographer, DIR. Tittman. Well, the
same thing occurred there, except
that DIR. Tittman could not refer Mr..
Peters to anybody else but drew down
chart, suggesting first that all
north of Deer Island was territorial
waters and then that probably the
territorial waters would extend
AS Mr.. Peters was disposed to poke
some of these questions to Chairman
Flood on the floor of the House, the
latter slowed up a little in his plans
TO present the bill there again for
consideration under a special rule.
Chairman Flood knew he could not
answer the questions and he knew al
so that Mr.. Peters had written to
the state Department for information
about the definition of territorial wa
tiers and had a letter from the de-
partment,s which conveyed mighty
little information. In the meantime
Mr. Peters obtained small eonces-
sion from Chairman Flood, to wit;
That the regulations for fishing in
those international waters should not
go into force till March /, 1915. This
will be some satisfaction to the fish
ermen along the northeast coast of
Maine who4 have been concerned lest
they be deprived of rights now en-
joyed. 85z
