SAYS 'TAINT so
P. ! Begin Says Lewiston Sun Story
About Him Incorrect

1t is really too bad to spoil a good
story but the following which was
printed in Tuesday mornings Lewiston
Sun, when shown TO P. ]. Begin. the
Augusta druggist at whose expense the
story was told. brought from that gen.
tleman a prompt denial, although the
details when read by him made him
smile. When asked about the matter
yesterday afternoon by a Journal re-
porter, Mr.. Begin said that the whole
story was news to him. that he had
carried on no transactions of the kind
referred to in the article published in
the Sun, not even in the purchase of
Lake AUBURN water, and that in his
opinion someone must be trying to
have some fun at his expense. The
Suns story III part was as follows:
Lake Auburn water is a commodity
Of value-if handled by a skillful sales
man. Ordinarily it is as free as tickets
to the seventh game of the present
world series, and is limited only by the
rules and regulations of the Lewiston
Water Board and the meters thereof.
F. J.. Begin of Augusta bought some
a week ago Saturday and the circum-
stances remove the sale from the or
binary class and place it in the extra
ordinary column, along with Kultur
and Kauff.
AS aforesaid. the sale took place
Oct. 6, but the story develops from oc-
currences which antedate that day by
several months. 4 Lewiston man.
whose last name is Dufresne and
whose first name cannot be published
because ii isn't known, was the party
of he first part in the sale. His mo-
tive was revenge. He got il.
"On Oct. 6 Dufrcsne. Jr., hired an
auto from Alphee Dumont. Mr.. Du-
mont didn't know what for, at least
not until afterward. Dufresne took
seven five gallon kegs and filled them
with water. He drove to Augusta and
presented himself at the Begin drug
store. Dufresne said he had some
good stuff which he would sell at
$3.50 A key.
1T is claimed that Dufrosne didn't
say the kegs contained water. Neither
did he say they contained anything
else. Lewiston and Auburn housewives
will agree that good stuff" was the
proper term. OF course Dufresne
couldn't prevent anyone from drawing
such differences as he liked. Dufresne
said II was good stuff" made his
Price and got it.
He pocketed his cash and returned
to Lewiston. Mr.. Begin didn't even stop
tc make an inspection of his purchase.
He took a Cursory glance at the bill of
goods. made a mental inventory of
their exterior number and volume, and
that was all for a time.
1T wasn't long before he called I'D
Mr.. Dumont, whose car he had recog-
nized. Dumont didn't know anything
about il. He had rented his car; other
than that he knew nothing.
1T is reported that Mr.. Begin has
formed an opinion of the entire trans
action which includes a description of
Mr.. Dumont not entirely compliment
airy; that he spoke rather freely about
the matter: and also that he can do
nothing about it except protest.

Why Forced Loans Were Attempted

To German influences also have been
attributed in some quarters the vigorous
steps taken by the de facto finance min
lister to force loans from the Banco
Nacional and the Bank of London and
Mexico, owned by French and British
capital.
REPORTS of German machine guns and
German gunners in the Carranza army
also have been persistent, although the
relative importance of that to the pro-
posed alliance is not fully established.
The Department of Justice agents in
their Investigations of plots to violate
| American neutrality by setting on foot
armed expeditions in Mexico more than
once have uncovered what appeared to
be trails of the German secret service
