Fish and Game Department

The prosecution of two men for the
setting of trap within rs feet Of a.
muskrat house was reported Thurs
day to the Department of the Fish
and Game Commission, Howard Nit
chell and Sylvester Francis being ar
ralgned on that charge in the Old
Town municipal court, found guilty
and fined $40 each and costs jointly of
1913. In default Of payment the men
were committed to Bangor jail. A
handsome though peculiarly marked
bass was added Thursday to the COL
lection in the State Museum. It was
presented by Capt. c. A. Chase of Au-
gusta. who took 1t from the Kenne-
bee river on that day during his fish,
ing operations and was placed in the
big tank with the Weber pond pick
erel and some other black bass. The
coloring runs somewhat to the leopard
style, enough so to be noticeable. It
was estimated by Curator James that
the fish weighs nearly if not four
pounds. 1t was not particularly lively
when put in the tank. but is expected
to regain its form in few days.
The out-of-town visitors at the
museum Thursday included Mrs. A.
NJ. Drew Of Somerville. Mass; E B.
bennett Of Bangor; and H. H. Wise
Of Boston.

Taking Interest in Muster

The adjutant generals department
has received at various times letters
from number Of employers Of labor
in various parts of the State who have
signif1ed their willingness to grant
leave of absence and in some instances
pay for time given by their men to
attendance upon the State militia en-
campment and maneuvers.
The latest employer to write Adju-
tant General Presson upon the subject
Is Elliott Rogers. president of the
Mcusam Manufacturing Co. of Ken
nebunk and also Of the National Fibre
Board Co. and Leatheroid Manufac-
turing Co., of the same town. Mr.. Rog-

in his employ actual members of the

encampment and that he will make
up the difference between the paw
which they will receive and their
regular pay.

Classical Institute of Houiton. bearing
an inquiry as to whether it would be
possible for the students at that in

to serve the entire three years, the
term Of enlistment. Many Of the stu
dents are anxious to serve the State
and the nation in that way, but are
obliged. through circumstances, to
leave the institute in the summer time
for their homes or other places.
The department regrets to be oblig-
ed to inform these young men that un-
der the law, which is explicit and
strict. that such an arrangement
would be impossible. the law saying
that any who enlists in the National

Archer, a former resident Of Sabattus
and a graduate Of the High School OF
that place Mr.. Mace was former

really the story Of Mr.. Archer's life
and his struggles against the educa-

he left the Sabatttus High school he
went to the Boston Law school and
so proficient was he in his work that
he was soon giving instruction to le'

founded the Suffolk Law School, begin

trials and tribulations in obtaining a

Progress Of Prohibition.


Numerous inquiries are being re-
ceived at the Office Of the secretary Of
State regarding the enactment of the
several Prohibition laws by the State
of Maine and the progress of these
measures as the years have gone on
since the movement began. One Of
the recent inquiries was as to who
drafted the first bill Of the Prohibition
movement passed by the Legislature.
Nothing could be found in the papers
on file in the secretary Of States Of
fee which gave this information, al
though the original bill was there. The
law referred to was passed by the
Legislature Of 1916 and was followed
in 1851 by what is known as the Neal
Dow law.
The Kennebec Journal, being ap-
pealed to for information on the point
found the following paragraph in
The Pocket Cyclopedia Of Temper
ance,' published by the Temperance
Society of the Methodist church, To-
peka, Kan, a publication that is recog-
nized as authority on temperance SUBJ
jects and which is revised up to the
year 1916:
appleton, James TO General
James Appleton is usually attributed
credit for the enactment Of the famous
Maine law in 1876. and the improved
