| Some Illinois
Candidates Wet

Chicago, Sept. 11-About one third
of the candidates in Illinois for Con-
gress have announced their attitude
toward prohibition. OF these, four
teen declared themselves wet, seven
dry, and five said that prohibition
was not an issue in their districts.
None of the other candidates have

party. OF the drys, two were Re
publicans, two Democrats. one So
cialist, and two Farmer-Labor men.
Three Republicans and two Demo-
Gratis said there was no liquor issue
. in their districts.
| OF the thirty-seven candidates IN

Lobster Fishermen
Upheld in Ruling
by Maine Law Court

The law court in a rescript handed
down Monday in the York county
case Of William A. Mckinney, ct ais,
clares that the last clause OF Section
three OF Chapter 293 Of the public
laws Of 1917 giving the sea and shore
fisheries commission the right to
place q close time on Holsters in GER
tain districts Is unconstitutional, but
that Section three can be divided and
the valid separated from the invalid.
The bill in equity brought by the
plaintiffs was dismissed without
costs.
1.-THE plaintiffs are lobster fisher
men of Kennebunkport and the de-
PENDANTS are Alton B. Farnsworth,
Harry G. Wilbur and E. w. Gould,
constituting the Commission on Sea
and Shore Fisheries Of Maine, and
they will hereafter be called the COM
mission, . says the law court decision.
ION the 18th of July. 1921, the COM
mission gave notice of a hearing upon
the advisability of close time, with
ing certain defined limits, upon lobs-
ter fishing along the coast near Cape
Porpoise, but the limits are immater-
ial to the ISSUE" continues the re-
script.
THE plaintiffs thereupon brought
a bill in equity to restrain the COM
, mission from giving effect to the pro-
posed close time, upon the contention
; that the proposed action of the COM
| mission is based upon a statute
which is unconstitutional and void.
namely Section three Of Chapter 293
of the public laws of 1917 for the
following reasons:
! "First-Because said section would
deprive persons Of their property
without due process of law
"Second-Because by said section
the legislature has attempted to
delegate to said commission powers
that belong to the legislature alone.
"Third-Because by said section the
legislature has attempted to delegate
said commission powers to make rules
and regulations which shall take pre-
cedence over provisions of existing
statutes.
"Under these contentious the real
question in issue is the constitution
atty Of Section three of Chapter 293.
Held /. That the last clause of
Section three is unconstitutional
Held .. That Section three can
be divided and the valid separated
from the invalid.
Held 8. That the valid part Of
Section three does not delegate to
the commission powers that belong to
the legislature.
Held 4. That the valid part of
Section three does not deprive per-
sons Of their property without the
process Of law.
"Bill dismissed without costs"

George E. Lancaster, IS years old, is
one of the few now living who were
| IN the great railroad wreck in the
isthmus of Panama in 1856, when
several hundred persons were killed
or fatally injured. He was in Cali
fornia 10 years, five of which he
spent prospecting for gold. He was
! employed at his trade of ship fasten-
er for a long period, and at present
is carrying on a farm of 100 acres.
He served his town as selectman
two years
Mr.. Lancaster was born in Rich
mond, the son of Eben and Mariah
Preble Lancaster. At the age of II
he left home and took charge of a
large farm. A year later he went to
work in a shipyard at East Bowdoin-
ham village and later at Bath. In
1856 he got the gold fever and on the
10th day of April Of that year he
started for California.
From Bowdo!nham went with him

sailing from New York for the 18TH
III US OIL Panama,
They took train on the Panama
Railroad. which was wrecked, caus-
ed by the rails spreading, and be-

there were 400 persons on the train.

Il was in the last car smashed,

Lancaster. 1--WE were spinning over
the rails at terrific rate of speed,
but no one seemed to pay any atten-

the crash came and we were piled
one on top of the other. How 1 got

"On my arrival at California I
went prospecting for gold. 1 did
pretty well. but did not get rich at it,
as some Of my partners did. It was
regular game of lottery. After this

hauling supplies for the miners, from
which I made a neat pile. I was for
a time clerk in a miners supply

Hope to Break Re-
publican STRONGHOLD

Topeka, Kans., Sept. 11-Demo-
Gratis of Kansas are going into the
fall campaign with hopes more firmly
founded, they say, than at any time
in the past six years. They are put
ting particular stress on the congress
sional campaigns in all the eight
Kansas districts in the anticipation
that the Kansas representatives in
the lower house of congress next year
no longer will be a solid Republican
delegation. There is no election of a
U. S. senator in Kansas this year.
Both senators-Charles Curtis and
Arthur Capper-however. also are
Republicans. The last Democratic
governor in Kansas was George H.
Hodges, 1913-'15.
gressional districts. the Republican
nominees are the incumbents, the one
exception being in the Third where
the veteran congressman, Phil p.
Campbell of Pittsburg was defeated
In the primary election, after serving
nearly twenty years in congress. The
defeat of Campbell by w. H. Sproul
was the outstanding sensation of the
Kansas primary election and came as
special blow to Campbell and his
friends in view of the eminent posi-
ton he occupies in the national
House as chairman of the powerful
rules committee and the further fact
that Campbell has been prominently
mentioned as Republican choice for
the speakership at the next session.
This also adds to the irony Of the de-
feat; Sproul, a Sedan lawyer, was
the opponent Campbell defeated twen
ty years ago this summer in a bit
ter contest for his first nomination,
in the Republican district conven-
ton four years before the present
direct primary law went into effect.
In view of the bitterness engen-
dered in the primary fight, Demo-
Gratis of the Third are counting lot
of Republican nos among their pros
pective supporters in the congress
sional race, they assert. Authentic
reports that the ku Klux Khan in
southeastern Kansas counties was
very largely responsible for Congress
man Campbells defeat, are passed
upon gently by Attorney Sproul.
1T was the votes of the farmers and
laboring men that put me across"
is his version.
Intense interest also centers in the
eighth district Two years ago w. A.
Ayers, then the only Democratic con-
gresham from Kansas, was defeated
by Richard E. Bird, by a narrow
margin. They again are opponents,
each having been nominated without
opposition.
The Second district also promises
a spectacular combat. William H.
Thompson, of Kansas City, Kan, for
mer United States senator from Kan
sas. has stepped again into the polit-
ical harness as Democratic nominee
against Congressman Edward c. Lit
tie For the nomination Thompson
defeated Barton Needham, Of Lane,
state master Of the Kansas Grange,
a strong farmer organization.

ing at City hall with an attendance

duties Of secretary in a most capable
manner. was presented with a gold
pen and pencil by Conductor Hill on
behalf of the orchestra.
Although not all of last years
members were present Sunday night,
Mr.. Hill felt that they would all be
present later in the season and that
there would also be several new
members to help out. The policy of
the orchestra is to be the same as
in other years. namely to give a
public rehearsal about once every
four or five weeks.

Put I'm Extra Long
Period of Drill

With but two practice sessions re-
manning before the game with Middle
bury at South Field Saturday and one
of them certain TO be but light work
cut, Buck O'Neiil continued to follow
out his policy of drilling the Columbia
players in the fundamentals of foot
ball. In view Of the fact that the
Morningside eleven has not yet scrim-
mayed this week, it is probable that a
set-to will be staged to-day. The visi-
tors will come with an enviable record
az compared to Columbia's when 1t is
remembered that excellent showings
were made against Harvard, Dartmouth
and Penn State.
The Blue and White worked out long
after dark yesterday with the lights
flooding the field, despite the fact that
the drill was started q little earlier
than usual. A punting session with
llnemen running down under the kicks
and backs tackling was the first course
on the menu prepared by Head Coach
O'Neill. Both Lou Gehrig and Ben
Roderick took hand in the booting.
Following this long session in the
art Of tackling took place, for the Blue
and White made a miserable showing
IN this department when Cornell was
met. Only Captain Koppisch, Eddie
Fischer and Ben Roderck showed any
knowledge in this department.
II the Blue and White outfit takes
the field as it did last week Brodil will
be over tie ball, although he had not
been practicing at that position before
Tuesday. If Brodil starts over the ball
Ed Meyer will get chance to show his
wares at guard again.
