GOVERNOR GUSTS
ACCUSED SHERIFF
Official in Bangor Loses Office as Re-
suit of Failure to Enforce the
Prohibitory Law.

AUGUSTA, Me-, June l3.-Gov. Mill.
ken and the executive council Yesterday
voted to remove Sheriff Herbert White
OF Penobscot county for failure to en-
force the liquor laws.
Sheriff Whites removal followed one
|of the most sensational liquor cases the
state has ever had. The governor and
his council sat at a court of Justice and
heard the charges against White. At the
opening of the trial Attorney General
Guy II. Sturgis declared that $4,000
quarts of liquor have been brought into
Bangor within three months. He said
this was exclusive of other liquor that
came by steamboat and express. He
charged that for more than year Sheriff
White and his deputies did not make a
raid
Gov. Milliken appointed Arthur L.
Ihayer of Bangor to succeed Sheriff
White, and the nomination of Mr. Thay-
er will be in the line of confirmation at a
session of the governor and council next
Wednesday, He is a lawyer, about 81
years of age, former Progressive. and
has the reputation of being strongly in
favor of the enforcement of the prohibi.
tory liquor law.
The action against Sheriff White was
taken under authority of a constitutional
amendment passed by the legislature Of
| 1917 and adopted at special election
last September.

Administrator Plans Bank
Account Of Grains and

EXPECTS INCREASE / i

lens, Which Was Source of Trouble,
Strengthened Out.

| WASHINGTON, June 13.-The food
administration will soon announce plans
for continuing food conservation meas
ures the coming year. As one official
expressed it, the nation "has got to
start bank account on grains and
food for rainy day The food ad-
ministration hopes to have substan-
tial reserve for America and her allies
from this year s surplus crops.
notwithstanding the fact that $780,
100000 bushels of wheat, second only
to the billion bushel crop of 1915. were
in sight on June l. the limitations on
the use of wheat -four will be kept in
force, with little if any change. This,
it was stated at the food headquarters
to-day means another year of .Victorv
bread. The department. of agriculture.
by authority of the food survey act. is
bending efforts toward great increase
In wheat and other food supplies next
year. Not until the yield iustifies the
action will there be let-up in conser-
walton measures
"Thcre will be no food to waste for
some time to come is the view of
the food administration, as expressed
by one of its officials ''We NAV never
reach the point of sacrifice that has
been reached abroad, but we must con-
serve and save.
With billion bushels of wheat. it
is believed reserve of 2O0,o0O,G00 to
3O0000,000 bushels can be laid bv.
The country would then be in position
to 90 ahead the following year without
being noticeably affected, even should
the yield fall to half of this year 3
bumper crop. g.g
The food authorities take the view
| that reserves of wheat and other sup
plies will be of greatest worth in stimu-
| lating the allies. A small reserve of
meat supplies, recently made by exports

the flour reserves to take care of any
emergency that may arise are Heavy

When the workmen s committee held

M1NoTro DROPS HIS FIGHT.
Swift's Interned Son-in-Law Dismisses
Habeas Corpus Petition.

CHICAGO, June l3.-Count James
Minotto, son-in-law of Louis F. Swift,
millionaire packer, now confined at Fort
Ogiethorpe, Ga, yesterday abandoned
his legal battle to escape internment as
an, alien enemy for the duration of the
war. Following this step came the news
that French officer in Paris, member
of the ancient Minotto family, had
publicly disputed the count claim to
his title and denied that he was mem
Der of the original family of that name.
When the Minotto case was called in
the United States court of appeals, At
torneys Henry Veeder and Ellwood
Goodman presented, motion on behalf
of the count that the petition for a
Judges Baker, Evans, and Alschuler,
composing the court, granted the plea
and the petition was dismissed
Great surprise was caused by the sud
den change of policy. Henry Veeder,
chief counsel for Minotto, said:
9 Minotto is interned upon the sole
ground that he was born in Germany.
This fact, of course, is admitted. The
court held that he was subject to in
ternment upon that ground in spite Of
the fact that he was an Italian citizen
Since the court has held it to be the
law that a citizen of friendly allied
country may be interned simply because
he happens to have been born in Ger
many, we must abide by the law.
Asked whether he intended to appeal
to President Wilson for elemency, Mr..
Veeder replied that nothing further was
to be said now. 1t is generally believed,
however, that the Swift and Minotto
families will appeal to the President.

London Times Comments on
What America Has Doile,,
in One Year of War ii,
DESCRIBES GREAT
WORK IN FRANCE
Port Schemes 50 We'll Worked out
That They Are Capable Of Almost
Unlimited Expansion-May Become
Main Reserve Centers.


LONDON, June 13.-What the Amer
lean forces have accomplished in France
during the first II months of their par
ticipation in the war is described in
an authorized despatch from special
correspondent Of the Times. The Amer
leans, the writer says, are rapidly CON-
pleting the longest and greatest scheme
of communication ever used in warfare.
"After fortnight of solid travel, !"
he continues, 81 am convinced that
what the Americans have accomplished
will rank in history as one of the great
est achievements of the war
For instance, out of the waste lands
have been constructed splendid line
of modern docks where ships are daily
dlscharging men, war material, cars and
machinery. A huge new warehouse sys-
tenn at this point is nearing completion
IN addition to motor parks, cold stor-
age plants and railway yards with
tracks aggregating 200 miles in length.
In the car assembling shop steel cars
are being put together at the rate of a
complete train per day.
"Work is proceeding rapidly on a
new 2o,000-bed hospital, the largest vet
constructed. There are also an immense
artillery camp and remount camp
where ] saw several thousand horses.
These port schemes are being so
well worked ont that they are capable
of almost unlimited expansion. which
will be most important in pooling the
allied effort. for the American base
ports may easily become the main re-
serve centers for distributing supplies
TO railroads everywhere on the front.
The conditions were the same along the
hundreds of miles of American COM
munications | Visited
In an accompanying editorial the
Times says.
The German knows his doom is
drawing near. He us well aware of
what the intervention of America mean,
for him. When American preparations
IN France are complete, the superiority
of numbers, the enemySs only advantage
in the field, will be gone, and the world
Will be in sight of real peace.

WHY
Sun Does Not Always Rise
at Same Point

The sun does not climb straight up
in the sky, bur obliquely. What is
more, his rising point is not the same
on two succeeding days. AS spring
merges into summer the rising point
shifts to the north. After June 81,
he shifts south, so that on each day
he begins his climbing a little more
to the south. By December % he has
reached his southern limit and turns
back again.
Since there is a defined region on
the eastern horizon along which the
suns rising point shifts in regular or
der and beyond which it never strays,
the daily paths of the sun through the
sky in the year form an unshifting, I'M
changing band of even width-the
same band from year to year.
AS you go north the suns path
slopes more and more. The band re-
mains the same; it merely swerves up
or down in the sky. Hence in the arctic
regions the sun during spring and sum-
mer months appears above the horizon,
AID stays there, travelling around in a
circle, and becomes the midnight
sun. Popular Science Monthly.

RED MEN AND RED CROSS
Why Indians Broke Their Traditions
in Giving Weird Ceremonial Dance
in City Of Southwest.

That war and rumors of~war should
reach sven our most retired Indian
tribes is natural enough, but the fact
that the mission and the meaning of
the American Red Cross have pene-
trated to them is unexpected. Not
only the letter of the word, but also
the spirit of it has been grasped and
accepted. Wentworth G. Field, in
"The Red Mans Red Cross" in the
Red Cross Magazine, says:
There appeared in Santa Fe some
of the few surviving Cochiti chiefs,
bringing with them their war bonnets,
dancing moccasins, their paints, their
ceremonial blankets and, strangest of
all, their katcinas, the grotesque,
highly painted doll IMAGES that play a
most important mystic part in cere-
monial dances. They said: we have
come to dance for you here in your
palace of the governors. We do not
want money for it. We. want you to
make much money and give it to the
Red Cross!'
''Next night, with the moonlight
flooding the courtyard, they gave their
weird. beautiful Cochiti ceremonial
dance. Out Of love for the Red Cross
they had broken their traditions and
travelled weary miles to add their mite
to the cause"

How Fear Betrays.

It was the custom in some parts of
India at one time to compel persons
suspected of crimes to chew dry rice
in the presence of the officers of the
law. The influence of fear on the sali-
vary glands was such it was believed
that If the suspects were actually guilty
there would be no secretion of saliva
in the mouth and it would be impos-
sible for them to chew. A conscious
ness of innocence, however, it was
held, permitted proper flow Of fluid
for softening the rice.
An illustration of how fear acts
through the Imagination was brought
out IN the case of farmer who, after
he had detected depredations in his
corn bin, summoned his men and made
them mix up a quantity of feathers in
a sieve, assuring them that the feath-
ers would stick to the head of the
thief. One of the men betrayed him
self after a short time by repeatedly
raising his hand to his head.

How cigarettes Fooled AustrIans.

Lieut.. Roberto de Violini of the Sixth
Alpine corps, one of Italy's famous
fighting forces, has recently come to
the United States ON special mission
for his government.
The lieutenant is forceful and elo-
quent speaker and thoroughly familiar
with the fighting front. He speaks per-
feet English and tells many amusing
as well as thrilling incidents of the
war in the Alps.
A strategy that was resorted to in
the capture of an Austrian post was
thus described by Lieutenant Violini,
according to the Italian american
News bureau:
'The men Lit cigarettes and stuck
them on the barbed wire in front of
the Austrian trenches. Then they
dropped down and made their way to
the flank of the Austrian division.
They found almost no one there, and
practically everybody was in the front
firing at the cigarettes. We took 300
prisoners and machine guns and other
war material whose use we did not
even know, so inferior were we in the
matter of equipment"

whx Rarberry Should Be kIIIed.

Death to the barberry plant, which
for many years has held favor in city
and country as a decorative shrub, is
sounded by an editorial in the Ameri-
can Lumberman, which says:
eThe specific and unforgiyable crime
of the barberry is that it is the agency
through which is perpetuated the black
st. m rust in wheat, fungous disease
that attacks the wheat kernels. The
damage to the wheat crop of the Unit
ed States in 1916 due to rust is esti-
mated at 2O0,000.00O bushels. There is
imminent danger of another outbreak
Of rust this year that would wipe out
more wheat than the entire country
could save in year of the most strin-
gent HooveTizing.
..'Fhe only way to prevent this ca
lamity is to dig mp and burn every bar
berry bush. except the so-called Jap
,nese variety, which alone has been de-
Slared innocuous.
