OFFICERS DILlGENT IN
WAR AGAINST RUM

Inc merry war against the arrival OF
hquor in this city went on apace Satur-
day. City Marshal Robinson and Deputy
Sheriff Dignam sharing about equally in
the labor of love. The city marshal was
on deck at the Maine Central office of the
American Express Co in the morning and
succeeded in gathering to the rum room
in City hall four quarts of whiskey and
,one quart of wine from one box, four
bottles of gin from another and three
quarts of alcohol. two quarts of brandy
ana one quart of cordial in another. This
was all properly libeled before the court
Deputy Sheriff Dignam turned his atten-
ton to the office of the Atlantic Express
co. and two boxes fell under his observa-
tion and are now reposing in the rum
room. The first contained two ballons OF
brandy and the second two and one-half
gallons of whiskey. This also was prop
erly iibeled before Judge Matthew. In
practically every one of the cases the
liquor was addressed to someone who
could not be found in the city and q num-
Der OF street addresses were used that DID

WANTS PORTLAND BALL

Hiram Abrams. one of the big NOV

Portland man, is much interested in
seeing Portland retain its baseball
team.

franchise as any other man in Port
land" Mr.. Abrams has written Former
Manager Clarity of Boston, who ask
ed him if he would be willing to help
out the proposition.
This gives the movement a good
start and it now remains for others in
Portland who are DESTROYS of keeping
the team in this city to join hands
with Mr.. Abrams and buy the fran
chse.
A letter was received from Manager
Duffy yesterday in which he said that
he had been given two weeks by the
league to find a purchaser for the club
Hugh wrote that he had been urged
by members of the league to keep the
club himself and transfer it to some
of the Eastern cities, but that he
should not do that.

Socialist and
Socialist Labor
Parties Split

New York, Jan. Headers of the
Socialist party and the Socialist La
Dor party, failed tonight for the third
time to restore unity between the two
parties. The conference was adjourn
ed with threat by Arthur Reimer,
delegate of the Socialist Labor party,
of bitter fight against the Socialist
party. He was not supported by his
fellow delegates, however.
A deadlock arose over the question
of industrial unionism and how it
should be treated by the United party.
The Socialist Labor delegates were
strongly in favor of having the United
party support industrial unionism, but
they desired condemnation of craft
unionism. The Socialist delegates while
not opposed to industrial craft union
ism, contended that the Socialist par
ty ought not to interfere with labor
unions, CHASING the two as separate
political and economic organizations.

SIX PORTLAND
CHILDREN POISONED

Portland, Me, Jan. "A hurried
call was sent early this morning for
doctors to attend the six children of
John Mulkern, % Boyd street, who
were suffering from severe poisoning,
believed to lie due to eating stuffed
doughnuts bought at a local bakery.
When Mr.. Mull,ern returned to his
home last night he found his oldest
daughter, Irene, prone and uncon-
scious upon the floor. Ethel, aged I,
was in another room and she too, was
unconscious In the adjoining rooms
were the other four children and all
were suffering from severe pains in
the stomach and head and were seiz-
ed with acute vomiting spells.
They We're unable to give any ac-
count of their illness and for time
Mr. Mulkern was bewildered with the
sudden illness with which his family
had been afflicted.
According to a statement made to a
reporter Ii doctors were reached but
all stated that they were unable to
respond. Finally one physician was Sc
cured and he made excellent time in
reaching the stricken ones. Later a
second doctor came and gave assist
ance to the first.
The doughnutS were secured during
the forenoon hours and were eaten at
the noon day meal. After supper, about
Z. all complained of headaches and
nausea, and later all became severely
i'll, which became intensified until sew
eral became unconscious.
1t was thought possible that the illness
might have been due to other foods, bur
the doughnuts were the only food OF
which all who were sick had eaten.
At late hour this morning all had Sc
we're headaches and had a high fever and
an unusually high pulse.
The physician in attendance said that
it would be several hours before their i'll
ness would prove serious enough to cause
apprehension.
The stricken ones are Irene, II: Made
line, II; Clarence, II; Edmund, 10; Walter
s; Ethel, I.

STATION AGENT AT

Pennington. Me. Jan. Merrill
Thomas, station agent for the Maine
Central Railroad at Oquossoc and
agent for the American Express Co
there also, was held in the municipal
court here Saturday for the February
grand jury on two complaints brought
by Deputy Sheriff Alexis E. Blodgett
of Oquossoc. One charged Thomas
with assault on Blodgett, and the sec
ond with obstructing and hindering an
officer.
The complaints grew out of the
seizure of a box containing one gallon
of alcohol consigned to Harold Cakes
of Rangeley. Blodgett refused to re
ceipt for the box and mix-up fol-
lowed when Thomas attempted to get
the way bill attached to it. 1t was the
first liquor seizure in the county this
year.

immigration Bill
Accepted Without
Japanese Exclusion

ed would entirely satisfy both govern
ments.
The bill probably will be reported
early next week and prompt action is
expected in both Houses. Confident
that President Wilson will veto it on
account of the literacy test provision,
sponsors of that section are making
every effort to pledge enough votes to
the final draft to pass ii over veto.
Representative Burnett, chairman of
the House immigration committee,
believes this can be accomplished.
The House bill would exclude all per-
sons who could not become natural
lied citizens, except those protected
by treaties or agreements. The Senate
measure would designate by geograph-
ical lines what persons might not en-
ter the country, and the lines would
not affect japanese but would exclude
certain Hindus, Malays and others.
If by any chance the gentlemen's
agreement We're abrogated, there would
be nothing to bar Japanese under the
Senate plan, but under similar circum-
stances they would automatically be
barred under the House measure.
