Liquor Dealers
TryaNew Scheme
But Sheriff Is on

Sheriff Colby Getchell made Saturday
afternoon at the Maine Central freight
shed the most novel seizure in the way of
package of liquor that has yet been
recorded, at least so far as Augusta is
concerned, since the Webb law went into
effect. Packages of liquor in boxes have
many times fallen into the hands of the
sheriff and his deputies, and also trunks
which have been stopped in transit have
been found to contain kegs of the con-
traband, but the latest device which has
been hit upon with the hope of getting
it and it's contents of headache juice by
the officers is the bulky and innocent
looking molasses hogshead.
II was one of these hogsheads that ar
rived at the freight shed Saturday aft
ernoon. Molasses sugsheads are never
really clean like a barrel of flour. for
instance, for there is apt to be some lit
tie crack between the slaves from which
the molasses oozes and collects samples
of everything over which the hogshead
may be rolled or come in contact with.
And it is said that the hogshead in aues-
ton was no exception, there being divers
places on its surface from which the
juice of the cane was trickling.
But the sheriff had his suspicious re-
garding that particular hogshead, even
though it was consigned to Edison
Locke, one of Augustus best known
marketmen. and lost no time in having
it conveyed to the confines of Kennebec
Jail, where upon an investigation being
made it was found to contain in addition
to its legitimate contents a keg or bar
rel. The latter is supposed to contain
liquor. but as the operation of getting
the molasses from the hogshead in order
to get at the receptacle contained therein
together with it's contents had not been
completed last evening. the nature of the
contents of the inner receptacle could
not at that time be stated.
Upon being notified by the sheriff of the
seizure. Mr.. Locke was naturally much
annoyed and has given the Journal the
following statement for publication:
I'm reference to the seizure of a hogs
head at the Maine Central station, pur-
porting to be molasses and addressed to
me, and seized Saturday by Sheriff Getch-
ell, 1 wish to say that l know nothing
whatever about it. and the address on
the hogshead was absolutely a mistake.
I will investigate the matter to the full
est extent of the law in an endeavor to
ascertain who the parties were making
use of my name.

That the apanteles, one of the par
asites that are being introduced into
Maine to destroy the brown-tai moth.
has made it's appearance in Augusta
would seem to be indicated by the
discovery, by Frederick Gross, for
ester. who is engaged in destroying
the winter nests of the insect on the
west side of the river in Augusta, of
some of the flies. Mr.. Goss was work
Ing Saturday morning on the trees on
the premises of Associate Justice Les
lie c. Cornish on Green street, and
upcn opening one of the nests found
two of the flies in it. Just how many
of the nests in the city contain these
flies cannot be stated but the fact
that some of them do Is an encour-
aging indication. AS there is a colony
of the apanteles at Readield it is be-
lieved more than probable that such
to Augusta came from that colony.
Of the flies as have found their way

ing. n School street, and running along
City Hall avenue police station, was
practically destroyed by fire last night.
Five alarms We're necessitated to
bring sufficient apparatus to cope with
the blaze. From City hall and sur
rounding buildings firemen were mass
ed in an effort to halt the progress of
the flames, which, up to midnight,
threatened the entire section.
Only the most desperate efforts of
the firemen kept the flames within the
aret Of the building.
At times the flames, driven south
ward by the sharp wind, threatened
tie building lying in their path be-
tween City hall avenue and Washing
ton street. The Post, threatened, was
forced to move it's engraving depart
ment chemicals across to the Boston
Globe, where shelter was offered.
The fire started shortly after IL
o'clock. 1t originated in Room IA in
the Niles building annex, occupied by
tho Uniformed Rank, Knights of

van, who notified Janitor Griffin, who
occupies suite on the second floor
with his wife and niece. The police at

QUESTION SEX
Hygiene IN THE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Chicago March 22.-Considerable va
rianco of views of educators on the
advisability of teaching sex facts in
public schools was shown Saturday
in debate on that subject which clos
the annual meeting of the North Cen
trail Association of Colleges and Sec
ondary Schools.
st all depends on the personality of
the teacher said C. Z. Chadsey su-
perintendent Of schools in Detroit. I'VE
fail in our duty If we do not educate
pupils TO know the difference between
right and wrong. The course has fall
ed because of injudicious publicity.
Had it been developed gradually the
result might have been different, In
Detroit we are now giving lectures
to parents, which seems sane. There
are so many elements to be consider
ed that teacher capable of proper
ly presenting this subject to a pupil
would be a rarity"
''The schools should not take on a
responsibility they cannot meet, de-
clared w. J. S. Bryan, superintendent
of the ST. Louis schools. There are
other places for children to learn these
things than in school
Teaching of sex facts was urged by
President A. w Harris of Northwest
ern University, while President
Blanchard of Wheaton College advis-
ed the use of the Scriptures in ex-
planning the subject
in more than 200 lectures before
girls here said Mrs. Ella Flagg
Young, superintendent of Chicago
schools, there was not word said
that could lead to base thoughts, but
on the other hand everything was
said that could lead the pupils to high
er ideals. The subject should be nam
ed personal purity instead Of the
misleading title sex hygienes."

Clark in Doubt as
To Dept Policy

Washington, March 22.-Representa-

Saturday to call up his resolution re-
quiring the state department to trans
nit to the House a report on the re-
cent Monroe Doctrine speech of Am
bassador w. IL. Page in London. He
contended that the resolution was
privileged.
After considerable argument Speaker
Clark ruled that as the resolution call
ed for opinions and conclusions from
the department, it was not privileged.
Il don't know. said the Speaker,
whether the state department knows
what it's policy is or not. or whether it
knows what its policy will be tomor-
row or next year or so years from
now. Certainly a statement on this
point could be no more than an opin-
ion,
