que no-license. The advantage. how
ever, lay with the no-license forces in
point OF population in the towns af
fected and in the showing of the vote
in some towns where no changes were
made.
The result in Montague was the
biggest surprise inasmuch as it was
only the second time in the history of
the town that the drys won. The vote
was 4l5 no and 454 yes. Orange went
dry by just ~ votes-561 to 514. This
action upheld the tradition in the
town that it never goes license two
years in succession. Greenfield went
license as usual, the vote being 1907
to Oh.
Williamsburg going wet was a
surprise, as the town has been drv
for 20 years. The vote was 1872 to l63
Athol went wet by only 16 votes. The
result has been close for the last
three years. 1t was $50 to go for no
license last year.
There were no wet votes at all in
Rowe the vote being 10 to 0 in favor
of no-llcense. Colrain stayed dry by

GENERALIZATION
FITS PARCEL. POST
It Applies There as Well as to the
Customs House, Court of APP
peals Decides.

PHILADELPHIA, March Judge
Burlington in the United States court
OF appeals here yesterday held that
the act Of congress relating to the
forfeiture of undervalued goods en-
terlng the United States applies to the
parcel post as well as to the custom
house. The articles involved in the
suit decided today were packages of
dental instruments sent bv parcel
post from Germany to Philadelphia.
Samuel Rubins, an importer of dem
tai instruments, received through the
Philadelphia postoffice eighteen pack
ages of such instruments, sent by Ed
win Hagar of Dusseldorf, Germany.
The government contended that the
instruments were undervalued through
false invoices mailed with the pack
ages, and that Hagar had sent other
statements direct to Rubins in which
the real value of the shipment was
given. Under the customs law. the
government declared this an offanse
punishable for forfeiture of the shin.
ment. Rubins contended that the law
was only applicable to importations
through the custom house.
Judge Burlington s decision pointed
out that the course the goods followed.
whether through the custom house or
by parcel post, to the importer in no
way affected the exporter in the coun-
try of origin or the forfeiture under
the law to which the exporters con
duct had already subjected the at
tempted importation. Loss of duties

to the government, he said. was the
same whether the fraudulent attempt
was effected through either channel.
The postal convention made with
Germany IN 1899, Judge Burlington
continued, contained nothing which in
any way limited the power of either
the United states or Germany to en-
act its own tariff legislation. On the
contrary, the treaty provided that
parcel post packages should be sub
iected to the customs duties and regD-
lations of the two countries.

that the musical play Katinka, has
been booked at the opera house for an

eretta is by Hauerbach and Friml. au-
thors of High Jinks and The FREELY.
Creatore and his band will make
their initial visit to Brattleboro next
month, giving an afternoon and an
evening concert. Many Brattleboro
people have heard this brilliant organ

ented conductor, whose methods are pc
culiar and picturesque. This ought to
be one of the season 5 musical treats.

Rolling Stones, which was scheduled
to appear in the Auditorium at about
this time, has cancelled it's date for the

indicated by the following from a
Boston paper: Rolling Stones has
made such an impression on the Boston
playgoers, where it has appeared sew

that its run has been extended. 1t
will play an indefinite time at the new
