Bell Hops and Taxi
Driver Arrested for
BOOtlegging at Bangor

Bangor, Jan. 6.-The first blow at
what local Prohibition Director Jack
believes to be bootlegging ring OPP
Grating among the big hotels of Maine
through the medium of bell hops was
made by the federal enforcement de-
partment today when Roy f. Johnson,
aged 20, Frank G. Lee, IS. bell boys
employed at the Bangor House. and
William +. Baldwin. a public car driv-
or who carries passengers to the hotel
were arraigned before u. s. Commits
sioner Reid. the two former charged
with illegal sale of intoxicating Ii
quor and the latter with illegal trans
portation of liquor. Johnson was COM
mitted to Jail in default of $500 bail
but Lee and Baldwin furnished sure
ties and were released. All three were
held under probable cause for the Feb
ruary term of the district court.
1t is alleged that Johnson and Lee
each sold quart of liQuor to federal
prohibition agents at the Bangor House
and that Lee arranged for the delivery
of a case of liquor to another party
at, the Union station, this being seized
as it was being transported by Baldwin.
The profit to Lee on this latter tran
saction would have been $2o. Director
Jack said that many complaints had
been made to him that hotels were
handling large qualities of liquor and
the arrests made were the result of
his Investigations. He believes, how
ever. that the hotel proprietors have
had no knowledge of this traffic. which
he believes is carried on by bell hops
and public car drivers cooperating.
The arrests in these cases were
made by Deputy L. S. Marshal Harrl-
man of Portland

pact on the size Of war craft has
changed the conditions of COMPETE

in the judgment of naval experts
competition will continue.
In the new era, it will be battle

officers believe. The vision of trained
experts as they look ahead to naval
battles of the future, and the skill and

be matched to produce for their own

House Measure
Makes Taking a
Drink q Crime

Washington, Jan. Ga bill de-
signed to help break up bootlegging
by making the buyer of outlaw
liquor equally guilty with the seller,
was introduced today by Represen-
tative Upshaw, Democrat, Georgia,
who recently charged in the House
that public officials do not all prac-
tice what they preach in regard to
prohibition.
The measure further provides that
any person accepting drink free
would be in the same category as q
person buying or selling it.
Il am simply trying to hold up the
hands of the President" said Repre-
sentative UpShaw in a statement.
He recently declared and truth
fully declared before Congress, that
the violation of our prohibition laws
'savors of q nation wide scandel.' He
wisely called Il conference of Gov
errors to take counsel looking to Il
better enforcement of this law. The
bootlcgSer who produces this ma
tional scandal would not ply his
criminal trade without the moral
crime of his patron.
My bill simply makes a moral
crime a legal crime by putting both
buyer ana Seilef III jail together. Inc
bootlegger. who fills his hellish purse
by the insidious Gamnation of your
children and mine is the daily de-
stroyer of good government and the
constituencies enemy of God and
man. Certainly. then. the man who
sneakingly builds the bootleggers
business ought to suffer. with his
partner in crime.
Il am merely applying that fine old
American doctrine of equal rights to
all and special privileges to none"
An immunity bath for any person
testifying as to the purchase Of liquor
by another would be given under the
ITpWOrth bill

hoping may be signed at Lausanne.
When that treaty is presented to
the Turks at some not far distant
day, the hospitable folk of this COM

disastrous effects on Europe of q

OF the premiers' conference in Paris.
and it is clear this realization is
causing everybody to pause and con-

solemn tonight. Ismet Pasha, the

making an effort to extinguish the
flames. according to Levy county
authorities. All of the negroes were
hiding in the woods, where they went
late Thursday night after the clash.
The burning of the houses was
carried out deliberately and, al
though the crowd was present all the
time, no one could be found who
would say he saw the houses fired.

shot to death by the whites who
rained bullets on the structure until
their ammunition was exhausted. "A
Negro woman was killed as she~was
leaving her burning dwelling, another
Negro was slain about 20 miles from

Negro victims when he is said to
have refused to tell his white captors

fires today mark the end of the
racial disturbances, which was pre-
cipitated when the white men went
to the Negro house in search of Jesse
Hunter, wanted for alleged implicai-
ton in an attack on a young white
woman at Sumner, Monday. Hunter
has not been captured.
