Portland Sheriffs
Seize Whiskey

Portland, Me-, April 15.-Twenty- nine
five-gallon kegs of whislxey, which it
is believed We're brought from Boston
or Portsmouth in a motor boat yes
terday and landed in Back Bay at high
tide during the night, were this morn
ing seized by the liquor deputies in a
small stable at the rear of SIS Wash
ington avenue. A horse was the only
living thing about the stable when
the deputies visited, so no arrests were
made, as no one could be connected
with the possession of the liquor, and
equines, while subject TO arrest fer
unlawful transportation, may not be
arrested for unlawful possession.
This is the largest lot of whisky
that has been seized for some time.
Officers of the sheriff's department
were looking for the stuff in that Sec
ton of the city nearly all night.
Two other raids and seizures were
made on Washington avenue this
forenoon. At the drug store at 80
Washington avenue the deputies cap
tured a shelf bottle containing three
quarts of liquor and two two-gallon
jugs of whisky. In the dwelling house
at a Washington avenue they seized
two glass jars and two jugs, the jars
each containing gallon of whisky
one of the jugs one gallon of the same
liquor and the other two quarts.

of the most important results of the
meeting was that the ladies, in all about
20, agreed to maintain at their own ex-
pense two additional patients at the
Fairfield sanatorium, and they will be
admitted for treatment very soon. a
second good motion was the resolve to
beautify the grounds surrounding the
sanatorium by setting out flowers and
plants. In this undertaking the auxil-
larry will be glad to receive contributions
of flowers and plants from those who
have gardens
Last summers garden party was such
a success and so well patronized that it
was voted to hold another this coming
June at the f. Z. Boothby estate, which
was offered by Mrs. F. L. Boothby, who
was present and who offered many help
full suggestions. There have been ar
rangements made for the installation of
new water pumping system at the SAN
atorium. and the good ladies have like
wise taken upon themselves the task of
helping to raise money TO cover por-
ton of the expense, which will be about
$500. Mrs. Frank Sedgley. Heath street,
is chairman of the committee to whom
plants and flowers may be sent.

To Begin Work
On State Highway

Portland, Me-, April 15.--Work on
the continuation of the construction of
the State highway between Portland
and Portsmouth is to begin immedi-
ately. The States equipment to be
used on this road was moved to the
scene this week and it is expected that
the question of contracts may be con-
sidered at the meeting of the Maine
State Highway Commission at Augusta
tomorrow.
Present plans are to build a btu
minous macadam road from the end
of the macadam road at York Beach,
built last season, to the beginning of
the cement highway at Cape Neddick.
When this work is completed, Maine
will have splendid highway or oiled
gravel from the New Hampshire line
at Kittery to Wells. In addition it is
expected that the road between Bidde-
ford and the end of the cement around
the Kennebunkport woods will be fixed
up and made passable for the summer
traffic, the work to be completed in
the fall Present indications are that
this stretch of road will be construct
ed of gravel.
While no permanent work will be
done on the road between Portland and
Saco, it is expected that it will be
smoothed up somewhat to handle this
summers traffic. With this temporary
and permanent work completed early
in the season, it will mean good road
clear from Portsmouth to Portland
during the height of the tourist travel
in July and August.

$50 o'clock yesterday morning for its
first practice. Manager Mcmahon and
% candidates were on hand, together
with Secretary Tim Leonard, M. j..
McDonough, DR.. r. N. Randall and
several other well known baseball bugs.
After q preliminary warming up a five
inning scoreless game was played be-
! tween teams appointed by Manager
McMahon.
When the squad lined up at 9.45
o'clock yesterday forenoon the veter-
ans were Baum, p; Phoenix, 2b; and
Brfgnolia, IF and p.
The recruits We're O'Leary, Leonard
Driscoll. Johnson, Yelle, O'Connel,
Hammond Cannon, Charon, McKen-
zie, McDonough, Pratt, Stetson.
Written, Messenger, Stewart Nor
ton and Lane.
Brignolia and Jake Cannon were de-
tailed to bat fungoes and the squad
was distributed over the field, Manager
Mcmahon went from one side of the
field to the other, giving suggestions
as to the easiest and best way of
handling the ball and in short time
the bunch of players, mostly strangers
to each other, had become club.
The pitchers, Baum, Leonard, Dris-
coll, Mckenzie and Lane, with Catch
er O'Leary worked at one side of the
field. After time the bali tossing gave
place to bunting and each pitcher took
turn at the bat.
After an hour spent in warming up
Manager Mcmahon placed OLeary be-
hind the bat for one team and sent
Leonard into the box. The rest of the
lineup at the start was as follows:
Johnson ID. Phoenix Oh, Yelle SIS,
OConnell 3h. Driscoll If, Hammond CT,
and Brignolia IF.
Catcher Jake Cannon headed the
other team and went TO bat first.
Leonard's first ball was swatted 10 the
pig and Cannon went to first. Lane
was successful and two men got as
far as third before the inning closed.
Going home was not allowed getting to
third on earned passage being equiva-
lent to a run.
When O'Leary's team went to the
bat the opposing array line up as fol-
lows: Cannon c. Lane p, Charon 1b,
Norton 2b, McDonough SIS, Messenger
3b, Stewart If. Pratt CT, and Written
IF. After batting once around changes
were made so that all Of the pitchers
had turn in the box.
The swatting ability of the Lewis
ton team was displayed by the num-
Der of times the ball went over the
fence and down TO Penleys Pig. The
pitchers didn't work hard to be sure,
but the ball had to be hit all the hard
er to go the distance. There were
some curves used because one man
struck out.
From the bleachHs Messenger at
third and Charon at first looked pref
ty good and all the fielders showed
class in getting after the ball although
the orders were TO take it easy. The
players are a clean looking bunch of
men, nearly all OF them big enough to
lift the sphere over the fence.
There was good bunch of fans, lit
tie and big, on hand and it is a sure
thing that when the Lewiston team
appears on Three-A Park at 1880
o'clock this morning a still larger
number will be present

OLD FASHIONED
.
DANCING PARTY
AT ELkS HALL

If the grandmothers of half century
ago had been able to for one moment
glance through the crowded door that led
into Elks' hall Wednesday evening they
would not have felt out of place as they
would today with the hobble skirts. the
biscuit waists, the peplumed waists and
the tango craze to hold their interest
On the contrary they would have felt en-
tirely at ease at home. The spirit of
the times of long years ago was surely
manifest in the old-fashioned dancing
party that was what it claimed to be.
The costumes too. varied and too nu-
merous to mention, were quite in har-
mony and in accordance with periods
that ranged from the time Of the land
ing of the Pilgrims until after the Civil
War. The old Colonial dresses so sweet
and quaint in their fulness; the garbs
Of the COS with ruffies and lace. and the
subsequent ones. conforming more to the
style that the younger generation recalls
having seen in childhood, We're all duly
represented.
There were no horse trots, turkey trots,
tangos or glides on the dance order. In
stead there We're just the dances the old
folks used to dance. The order with each
dance dedicated was as follows
Waltz Colby Rows
Virginia Reel, Married Ladies
Waltz and Two-step, A. O. III
Lanciers Quadrile, H. & w
Sehottische, K of c.
Cotillion, Franchise
Intermission 20 minutes
Ice Cream
Waltz, Past Memories
HulPs Victory, 4ne Young Ladies
Waltz, The Four Hundred
Lady of the Lake, Our Visiting Friends
Quadrille, The Committee
The committee that had worked so hard
for the success of the affair given for
the benefit of the Sacred Heart parish
was well rewarded with liberal patron
age The little hall would have been none
too large for the crowd had 1t been twice
the dimensions. There was just stand
ing room. Many came out of curiosity,
while others came for the pleasure of
dancing to the tunes of Pulien's Orches-
ira. The committee. SO diligent and
jealous, consisted of Mrs Dennis Swee-
ney. Miss Mary Sweeney and Mrs. James
Murray. Thomas Delaney and Peter
Welch acted as floor managers and were
assisted by Dennis Sweeney, William

Portland Wants
Slaughter House
For Maine Cattle

Portland, Me-, April 15.-In the hope of
having Maine raised cattle shipped to
Portland for slaughter instead of being
sent to Somerville and Bridgton, Mass,
fort will be made to induce Maine cattle,
hog and sheep raisers to send their ami
mails to this city. 1t is pointed out that
from 80 to 40 cars of livestock are shipped
from Maine to Bridgton and Somerville
every week when Portland has the bes.
facilities in the country to handle the
business.
Men interested in Develop Maine Move
ment say that the Maine farmer is as
sured of having market for his live stock
in Portland and the extra expense of
shipping the cattle, hogs and sheep to
Massachusetts, will be saved
The big stock yards in East Deering
are owned by the Grand Trunk and it is
understood that they can be secured at
nominal cost. For the past two yaers
the yards have been practically idle as
the plant was built for the export trade
and not head of cattle has been sent
out of Portland to foreign shores for
two years. 1t is pointed out that about
$50 carcasses of cattle are shipped into
Maine every week from Chicago and Ar
gentine and millions Of pounds of pork
products are sent into the State from
various parts of the country. A great
part of the products received have orig
inally been Sent from Maine to the
slaughter houses and packing firms in
Massachusetts and other states.

Lewiston. Me, April 15.-Lewiston is
to have a team in the roller polo
league for 1e14-15. The plans for the
circuit are. of course, only tentative
at this time, but the fans can be as
sured that there will be a league, as
Manager Buckley of the Lewiston
team has secured the rights for the
use of City hall as a polo rink for
the coming season. Lewiston will play
Pawtucket in the last game Of the sea-
son tomorrow evening.
Manager Buckley met the members

and after explaining the situation was
granted the right to use the hall for
polo during the coming season.

at City hall Thursday in the final
game of the season, and with fond
recollections of the speed displayed by
the visitors a couple of weeks ago,
the fans are looking forward to some
more classy work.
The Pawtucket team will again in
clude S. and N. Pierce, Oldham, Cam
eron and Blount, while Lewiston will
have Harkins, Carrigan. Fahey,
