Maine Variety Have Many
Dodges to Fool the Federal
Agents.
FOUNTAIN SYRINGES USED
"WaIking Speakeas.es" Are the Hard
est to Catch-Liquor Is Cached
in Odd Places by Itinerant
Vendors.

Buffalo, n. Y.-John M. Evans, who
says he has had years of experience
In enforcing the prohibitory laws in
the state of Maine, stopped off in
Buffalo, says the Courier Of that
city, for a few hours and related some
interesting methods of conducting the
liquor business under strict enforce
ment.
Mr.. Evans told of many ways of
handling "wet" goods used by "booI-
leggers," but not one of the hundreds
with whom he has come in contact
ever used a bootleg as a depository
for his stock in trade.
"While the name still sticks to in
dividuals who defy the liquor law out
side of regular saloons and kitchen
barrooms, the bootleg full of booze
ceased to be when the high boots with
loose tops went out Of style.
Was Easy to Get Booze.
up to the time of the passage of
the Webb law by the federal govern
ment a few years ago." Mr.. Evans
said providing for the labelling of
all wet goods handled by express
companies and other common carriers,
it was comparatively easy matter
to get plentiful supply of liquor from
Boston wholesalers, and even after
that most of the bootleggers managed
to smuggle in by water or automobile,
and there were some who concocted
| a mixture out of alcohol, water, burnt
sugar and a dash of tabaScO, which
they passed off on many an unsuspect-
ing victim.
1.-THE hardest bird we ever had to
contend with was putting out booze
for years. We knew he was doing It,
but we could not get the goods on him,
and it was a long time before we got
him, even after we were wise to his
system. This was his system:
"At night he would load his over
| coat up with pints, half-pints and oc-
| casionally quart. These he would
plant, one in pile of clapboards in a
| and still another under a doorstep or
| in a rubbish barrel in an alley. The
next day his customers would come
to him, pay him for their purchase,
| and he would direct them to the near
est plant.
1--WE began to be suspicious of him
| after woman reported seeing a man
remove a bottle from the muzzle of
one of the two historic cannon that
guard the Soldiers monument. Final.
| ly we trailed him at night, watched
him sow his crop, harvested it and
then placed him under arrest.
Strangers "Not Wanted"
| 1--WE were unable to get a conviction
against him, although the fellow was
not working and had no visible means
of support. 1t was not until we caught
him mapping with couple of stool
| pigeons that we finally convicted him
In order for the system to work out
| we'll the bootlegger must be well &C.

ADRIATIC NOTE
Goes TO WILSON
Peace Council Denies That Orig
inaI Terms Have Been Modi-
fled or Softened.
RESENTED BY ITALIANS
Feel That Their Claims To Considera.
tion and Their Sacrifices Have
Never Been Fully Appreciated
BY Allies.

London.-The American embassy
has forwarded to Washington the SUI
preme Council reply to President Will
sons Adriatic note.
The council announced in its daily
semi-official communication that it
does not propose to make public the
correspondence so that the question
of whether the notes will be given out
rests with President Wilson.
Since the main facts are public prop
erty, namely that the President strong
ly objects to solution of the Italian
Jugo-Slav problem by application of
the treaty of London thereto, and OBJ
jects so strongly as to contemplate
Americas withdrawal from the Ver-
sailles compact as possibility, and
that the council objects to re-opening
of the question, the undecided point is
whether the arguments exchanged
shall be published while the contro-
versy is hot on the anvil. The state
ment from Washington confirming
first reports that the President had in
timated rejection of his policy might
be followed by diplomatic reprisals
furnished another surprise to poll
ticians and the public who, outside of
small but important circle. which
meets twice daily in Downing street.
Advisers in the confidence of this
group experienced the greater sur
prise because it came close on the
heels of other Washington messages,
off r;h -
emphatic denial that the Presidents
note conveyed any notification of any
more serious consequences than Amer
lean retirement from it's part in polio
ing the Adriatic.
French Reports Denied.
The council issued an emphatic de-
NAL of French newspaper reports that
it was persuaded to modify and soften
the first draft of the note to President
Wilson.
The feeling at Italian headquarters
over the presidents action is strong.
Unofficially it is spoken of as an attack
upon Italy and his memorandum is de-
scribed as an ultimatum. Italians also
feel Italy's claims to consideration for
her part of the war and her sacrifices
have never been quite appreciated by
her allies.
The feeling in the Jugo-Slav camp is
equally strong, but has the element of
elation that the Slavs have a strong
champion. They feel they are at a
disadvantage because Minister Trum-
bitch is outside the councils of the
powers and like the Italians have their
own grievance in that they consider
that the fact they were in the war
from the start and that their country
was virtually ruined is not to be given
the weight it deserves.

Clever Tricks

quainted with his customers and have
their confidence in large degree.
Another popular method of dis
pensing the hard stuff was through
couple of fountain syringes, suspend
ed from the shoulders one in front and
one on the back. They would fill
flask or serve by tie drink as desired
"When things begin to get too hot
for the pocket peddlers," Mr.. Evans
continued, 'they solicit business and
fill each order one at time by taking
the customers money, going to the
hide and returning with the goods. l
doubt if there is sufficient trust in
ones fellow man for this system to
work out successfully in a city the
size of Buffalo.
I'VE have picked up men with
considerable stock of booze on their
persons while to all appearances it
did not seem possible that the indi-
vidual could have more than a flask
or so.
''In the days before the orm-fitting
clothes, when long coats and peg-top
trousers were in style, many a suit
was tailored with huge pockets in the
trousers, and sometimes inside the
coat under the arms.
"The blind tiger, so popular in the
South, was never used much in Maine.
Its only recommendation is that it Of
fers more or less safety in selling to
strangers. You put your money
through a small opening in a wall and
out through the opening comes q
drink.
Beer Was Too Bulky.
"The methods used by saloon keep
ers to keep out of the clutches of the
law were almost as numerous as those
of bootlegging. The first step of the
saloon keeper when the lid was
clamped down was to eliminate beer
and ale all together, as it was too
bulky to handle in the event of a raid.
In those days near-beer was a much
despised and little known article in
Maine. But when the district at
torney hailed all saloon keepers who
possessed a United States license be-
fore the grand jury and fattened the
county's treasury by about $500 Il
head, they began to take more kindly
to near-beer, as it proved an alibi for
the federal tax.
SIN dry spells some saloons would
sell only by the bottle to those they
knew very well, while others would
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1920-02-20

sell only by the drink, going on the
basis that liquor in a mans system
could not be produced as evidence.
In the latter places the saloon keeper
usually kept pitcher full of booze
under the bar handy to the sink. Sew
eral convictions were obtained in
such cases, however. The combina-
ton of finding a whisky glass, the
odor of liquor and the presence of a
drunk or two in the bar room being
sufficient to convince the judge.
1.-THE wiser ones would have two
pitchers, one on each side Of the sink,
one full of ammonia and one full Of
whisky. One sweep of the arm would
dump them both into the sink The
odor of the ammonia would prevent
the odOr of whisky to be noticeable
and the contents of the sink could be
analysed only as spirits of ammonia.
"All the saloons in the state were
filled with ingenious hides most Of
which defed detection. When a hide
was discovered it was generally the
result of some disgruntled employee
giving the thing away. They range
in capacity from hides large enough
to hold half-pint close to the bar
itself to false cellar walls behind
which ten barrels might be concealed.
Most of the saloons had large and
small hides the smaller ones being
filled up daily from the big one by
the boss himself.
"Some of the hides consist of tanks
set inside Of hewed-out Orders in the
floor above. These were connected
with a small pipe which generally
ended in little office right off the
bar. You would order pint, the bar
tender would return to the office,
close q door, remove calendar from
the wall, behind which was little
disguised gascock, from this he would
remove cap and draw off the re-
quired amount. Other stores of booze
were kept in the tanks of flush closets,
which could be flushed from behind
the bar in case the searchers got too
close and the evidence would go down
the sewer.
"Some had their main hides on
adjoining property that would not be
covered by the search warrant, to
which access was had by means OF
secret doors and subterranean pas
sages."
Beer Sold Openly.
what about 2.75 per cent beerT
was asked.
Ever since 2.75 per cent beer was
brewed," he replied, sit has been on
sale openly in Maine. Fruit store:
and small stands of all kinds paid $50
| for a federal license and put in a
stock of bottled beer, while the sa-
| looms sold the bottled and draught
goods both. If the saloons have a
right to sell it, because it is nOn-in-
toxicating and if it is non-intoXicar-
ing I can't see the necessity of carry
| ing an excessive tax. l can't see
what is there to prevent soda foun-
| tains or anyone selling 2.75 beer af-
| ter paying the federal tax of $50.
Prohibition in Maine for many
years was a joke except for occasional
spasms of enforcement just before an
election when the party in power
figured that they needed votes or the
county treasury needed money. 1t is
an interesting game to chase the
evaders and / anticipate it will be
even more so in the event of nation
| wide prohibition"

Engineer Refused

Pinehurst, N. C.-The defer

the Agawam Hunt club, hooked
her drive to the railroad tracks
near the club house just as
train was coming along.
The engineer, leaning out of
the cab window, saw the ball
come to rest between the rails,
saw it perch itself upon an ideal
but precarious tee in the form
of a tiny pile of cinders, grasped
the situation and the airbrake
control at the same time and
brought the train to a sudden
stop. .....
The passengers may have been
slightly shaken up in the proc

not disturbed. The train waited
until a good recovery shot had
been played and then resumed
its journey northward to less
cOnsiderate climes.
