ciated with the early history of the
Massachusetts Bay colony has been
acquired by the city OF Boston for

Notwithstanding it flew the British

runner. is not approved by the Fed
cral officials at Washington. 1t is
said they fear that were the practise
followed it would stir up a hornets
nest of international complications.
II is said the craft when overtaken
| was sailing at night without lights
and the captain and mate escaped
from her in Il power boat, not stop
ping TO answer questions. Further
more the officials appear to have
doubted whether the craft was really
registered as British. Later it was
found by the records She had been
, sold TO a British subject
A statement from the L. S. Attor-
ncy'S office was:
1T is our position that we have Il
, J light to seize "A vessel outside the
three mile limit il there is evidence
OF u conspiracy to violate our Gus
| toms laws and the Nolstead act.
While the actual sale of liquor out
side the three mile limit is not in
itself Illegal, yet if it can be shown
, that persons from this country so out
there to buy cOntraband, then CON
spiracy has been established"
The Federal ruling does not sustain
this position. but whether it has
been possible to prove conclusively
that the craft was connected with d
conspiracy in which residents of this
country are implicated is not learned.
The ground for apprehension of in
! ternational complications appears to
be tenable. \ way to get at these
rum runners will have to be found,
however. They undoubtedly con-
spire with smusglers.

Chance to Get the Chautauqua

16 Elm street, Augusta. Maine.
August 5. 1921.
To the Editor of the kennebec jour
nal:
Nav take little space to say TO the
citizens of Augusta that AN earnest
effort is being made by the interested
women of our city to get the SWARM
more Chautauqua here next year.
and in order to do so, sixty guaran-
TORS have to be secured in a limited
time?
We have now %, with two people
promised for the 5Sth and 6Oth re-
spcctively, provided the others are
secured.
If there are people in town who
want to see this really good series
of entertainments return next year,
and who are willing to back the un-
dertaking. will they please come for
ward at this time?
The last evening the Swarthmore
Chautauqua was here, two thirds of
the audience rose when asked how
many desired to have the Chautau-
qua return next year, so it would
seem as if there must be more people
who are willing to help this good
work.
Yours very truly,
ROSAMOND CONNOR.
Secretary, Chautauqua Committee.

THE BAD SMELL, sERGDoLL

Some absurdities can't be lodged
nor laughed out of court. Were this
possible the public might long ago
have been relieved of the Bergdoll
affair. Instead it dribbles along.
Statesmen consider ways and means,
congressional committees inTesti-
gate, the returned soldiers resolute,
the cartoonists chortle. all about this
degenerate son of a brewer, whose
money leaves a trail of filth in and
out Of places to which such as he
should not be admitted.
No one cares to express the Opin-
ion that Bergdoll should be permit
ted to longer thumb his nose at our
government, but just how to prevent
it is yet puzzle. The belief that he
should be brought to terms, how
ever, is quite general The opinions
respecting those whom he may have
befouled with his bribery seem to
differ however. This is to be regret
ted. 1t is bad enough for one to
have had dealings with the fellow
and be exposed to suspicion as a
consequence without being able to
have innocence established If limo
cence there was.
At this time the reports OF the
congressional committee Investigate
ing the matter have not been made
public. A news dispatch from Wash
ington quotes Chairman Peters of
that committee as saying: "Assum-
ing that Bergdoll's purpose in OBJ
tanning an order to leave his prison
was to flee the country and not to
dig gold, his path could not have
been made easier for him if he had
laid it out himself"
1t is understood that he concludes
the escape was due in no degree to
official of the Government. Several
reports are expected from the com
mittee but rumor has it that only
Gibboney, Romig and the chauffeur.
Stecher, are connected with the scan
dal although investigation is recon-
mended for Major Bruce Il. Campbell
and criticisms are made of Major
Hunt and sergeants York and O'Hara
