Herbert j. Brown,
Portland, Maine.
I most earnestly urge upon you that
your organization make every possible
effort to the end that pledges for the
purchase Of War Savings Stamps be
fulfilled before the close OF the year
The governments monetary require
ments were never greater nor more
pressing than they arc today.
Expenditures for November were
greater than in any similar period
These expenditures, growing out of the
war. must be met by borrowing from
the people and their magnificent re-
Spouse heretofore to the government 8
requirements makes me confident that
they will not fail to continue their sup
port to the end that all payments re-
sulting from war necessities will be
promptly met
Much remains to be done. Our brave
troops must be maintained and paid un-
til their work is fully accomplished and
they are returned to their homes.
This is not a time for us to relax our
efforts, and the treasury department is
making plans for larger and even more
important work during the coming year.
Please make every effort to bring this
statement before the people in your dis
trict and to urge upon them the con-
tinued holding nf their War Savings
Certificates, the fuiflirnent Of their
pledges and additional purchases as
their means permit.
Signed: " G. McADOC.

On the Friday before Thanksgiving
the members of the Eromthean and Lit

large audience. One of the members of
the. cast in the little piayIet, unknow.,
to himself, was coming down with infu-

program without any visible symptoms
but that night he was stricken with the
disease. Two other students were also
taken. The patients were. immediat eIv
segregated, the school quarantine was

school was dismissed and the students
after submitting sevcraIly to a careful
examination were allowed to dispense to

and in the same manner as though

duced therein in original packages or
otherwise.
Then followed the decision Of the
Maine law court, declaring that Burns
at the time Of the seizure was en-
gagged in legitimate business.
Burns. who had moved to Boston,
sued Sheriff McFadden, in the United
States district court at Portland, for
injuries caused by the seizure. The
case was tried before the late Judge
Nathan Webb, and Sheriff McFadden
claimed that he was protected in his
seizure by his warrant The late
Patrick a. Collins Of Boston, the late
William Henry Clifford Of Portland
and the late Herbert NJ. Heath of Au-
gusta, counsel for Burns, commended
that the warrant of the sheriff. Nc

were intended for illegal sale in this
state. but as the law court of Maine
had decided in favor of Burns, Nc
Faddcn exceeded his authority in TAX
ing the liquors. The decision at this
time was against Burns and the mat
ter was appealed to the supreme court
of the United States. but was never
pressed.

In 1887, Michael Burns, a veteran

liquor business in this city as the

the rum hunters were on the war
