The case went to the jury this morn

There was nothing in the symptoms

Asked concerning the use of his own
name in connection with the presiden-

'No man has a right to say he never
will consider public Office, not accept
public office. No man can predict his
own acts and feelings so strongly as
that. But this / will say, that would
never for a moment think of running
against Calvin Coolidge for president,

TO PUSH LIENS
AGAINST BURKE
Government Takes Action
i'm Tax Liens Against
w. M. Burke.
is STAGGERING AMOUNT

Indication that the federal govern
ment are pending the enormous tax
lien assessed against Walter M. Burke,
former Kenosha attorney, now serving
term in the federal prison at Leaven-
worth upon conviction of having had
mart in the operations of gigantic
liquor ring, was given this morning
when it became known that warrants
in distraint had been issued against any
property which the government be-
Iieved belonged to the defendant
Banks in Kenosha have been served
with these warrants in distraint at
taching any funds which Burke might
have left in these institutions.
1t is also rumored that warrants
have been levied against certain real
estate which Burke is believed to own
and which may be sold in efforts to
collect the amounts named in the war
rants.
A Staggering Amount.
Attorney Walter NJ Burke was con-
victed in the federal court on charges
of having had part in the conspiracy
to violate the liquor laws in the OPP
erations of the large whiskey ring, be-
lieved to have flooded southern Wis
consin with liquor. He is now serv-
ing a fve-year sentence at the fed
eral penitentiary on the charge.
Following his conviction federal Of
ficials assessed enormous income tax
liens against him, which with penal
ties for alleged failure to report his
true income will total more than
S750,00o 1t was alleged that he made
this vast sum during the time that the
whiskey ring was in operation. The
assessment made against the former
Kenosha attorney was many times
larger than that made against any of
the other defendants in the eases.
The presence Of Henry Barnes, depu-
ty United States revenue collector for
this district, in Kenosha for the past
week lent color to the reports that the
government was now making an in
vestigation into the property owned by
Burke with an idea of Selling it for
the tax.
Mr.. Barnes when questioned regard
ing the affair refused to make any
statement whatsoever, stating merely
that he was in Kenosha on the BUSH
ness Of his Office.

Russia Needs and
Should Make Tractors

Moscow. April Shy MaiD-E'aced
on the one hand with a nationwide
need for auto trucks and tractors. and
on the other with a struggling home
industry in the manufacture of these
machines. the government departments
directing the foreign trade policy of
Soviet Russia have not yet made up
their minds whether they should stand
Tor free trade or a protective tariff.
Russia has little money to spend for
trucks and tractors abroad. but some
DAY hopes to be able to supply every
community with at least one farm
tractor Before the State Plan COM
mission it was declared recently that
during the next 10 years, the nation
would need 100000 20 horsepower trac-
tors. but only $4,000 could be pur-
chased abroad. The remainder will
have to be secured elsewhere. Russian
factories are now turning out a few
tractors and these are said to be of
excellent capacity. Those favoring pro-
lection of this infant industry want
high tariff on tractors from abroad.
Several hundred tractors have been
brought to Russia by various agricul-
tural eolonists and some foreign relief
organizations. but they are sufficient
only to replace an infnitesimal percent
age of the horses and other draft ami
mails who died by the hundreds of
thousands during the recent famine.

City Council Takes
Up Urgent Business

A petition was presented to the city
council Monday evening by the resi-
dents of South Gardiner asking that
street lights be placed at the junction
of the Capen and River roads and on
the River road at the foot of Atkins
hill. The latter was tabled pending
the drawing of the appropriation bill.
Honorable o. B. Clason, trustee Of
the public library appeared before the
council and stated that the trustees
might find it necessary to close the
library during the month of May as
the new librarian would not be avail
able before June first. Both Mayor
Lamb and Alderman Morse were
strongly opposed to such an action
and DR.. Clason said that il possible
the trustees would find somebody to
act during May. A delegation from
Harrison avenue was present and
asked that something be done to i'm
prove the conditions of the street in
their locality by the repair OF cul-
verts. Alderman Russ will investi-
gate conditions.

Bangor Easements
Flooded; Power
Stations Shut Down

Bangor, Me-, April 3O.-Tonight the
Penobscot river at Bangor reached the
highest point in 3Osyears, the depth
on the crest of the water works dam
being 10 feet. which is within three
inches of the record height.
Tonight the Easements of stores and
warehouses along the Kenduskeag
stream We're again flooded. the water
running two or three feet higher than
on the forenoon tide, but as most con-
tents had been removed there was lit
tie damage.
The Milford and veazie power sta
lions of the Bangor Railway & Electric
Co. are shut down owing to backwater.
and two Of the three generators in the
company's Ellsworth plant are shut
down. leaving this city and neighbor-
ing places served by the company de-
pendent upon one generator at Ellis
worth. which can supply sufficient cur
rent for lights and for reduced car
service in Bangor This condition is
likely to continue FOR two or three
days.
Gals Of the Bangor Railway &
Electric Co. say there is no danger
whatever Of their big storage dam
above Ellsworth being carried away.
and that reports of 1t being threatened
are without foundation.
Bangor's water pumping plant is be-
ing run, by steam power tonight, the
water wheels being flooded out, and all
use of water for power purposes is
forbidden.
The steamer leaving Boston this eve
ming will come no further than Bel
fast. as the river wharves are under

to places Of safety early Monday morn
ing. Since the bridge on the ceuseway
was roped off Sunday night 1t has been
lifted by the flood and it is believed
that it was prevented from being car
ried out through the fact that 1t rests
against the bridge Of the electric rail-
way, which is Of iron. A large guam
tity of peeled pulp wood came down
the river Monday forenoon. High water
has caused the shut down OF the Com
monwealth shoe factory. All goods
stored in the basement have been re-
moved to place of safety. Monday
morning Supt. Wagner said that there
was about a foot of water on the floor
Of the heeling and sole leather rooms.
The fire room is all under water. The
ice house of the Eastern Steamboat
Co, located on its wharf. succumbed
to the action of the food Monday noon
and one side was torn out. This left
the 2o5 tons of ice which had been stor-
cd there for summer consumption free
to take it's journey seward, somewhat
behind Natures schedule. Mr.. and
Mrs. w. T. Gardiner furnished the real
thrill Of the day. They started in
canoe from a point above the bridge
and headed down river. They had a
considerable audience on the station
platform who watched their progress
until a turn in the river hid them from
sight. When questioned as to the trip.
Mr.. Gardiner said that it was highly
enjoyable and that the going on the
river was good. The distance from the
bridge to Oakland wharf where they
landed is just an even mile and was
made in eight minutes.

Great INFLUX WATER CAUSES
MUCH DAMAGE --ST0REH0uSE ;
At CRAY'S CLEANED OF ICE

Joppa was flooded. Boats piled back
and forth in the street. Some Is
houses had the water at their doors
and filling their cellars. Some of the.
inmates moved temporarily to higher
ground. The Warehouse home left
its mornings entirely and one other
house seems to be trying to follow its
example.
Monday was certainly the SMALL
boys day in Hallowell, as it was also
that of the automobile visitor to the
flooded district. Even the attrac-
lions of circus could not bring out
such crowd as fingered along the
lower streets. Small boys with and
without rubber boots. were every
where. Some fell in from time to
time. but wet and cheerful, proceeded
to make the most of the opportunity.
A steady stream of automobiles
came down to the flooded district To
reach it they had to pass the smaller
flooded section near Central hill. One
small. low hung car went wholly out
Of sight in water and spray. but
emerged on the other side in safety.
Car after car sent the water in wide
circles upon the pedestrians, who
seemed to mind it not at all. From
the spirit of the people, one would
have thought the whole thing a joy
Gus and unexpected holiday. Every
one who could get boat on the street
did so. One odd contrast was pre-
sented when a boat, large car and A
small boy on horse back met in the
centre Of the wettest spot.

At about 4 o'clock Monday after
noon the kennebec at Hallowell
reached the greatest heighth Of the
present freshet. Later in the after
noon it had begun to go down. A con-
siderable amount of damage has been
done locally. The old steamboat
building at the highest point Of water
was covered to the ewes. This is
used by S. p. Humphrey for storing
material connected with his trade of
painter. In this building are kept
also two automobiles, that of Mr..
Barnes, the grocer and that of Walter
Lynn. Both are under water. The
ferry house is floating, but tied Sc
curely. The Waterhouse residence is
on its side and straining away at the
ropes that hold it to the shore.
Mr.. Hayes garage followed the re-
mains of Mr.. Whitehouse's shed down
the river some time during the night.
Perhaps the most serious loss is that
of Harvard Gray, whose ice house
split and let its contents, some 600
tons of ice, out to join the miscellan-
eous wreckage floating down the
river.
All the cellars on both sides of Wa
ter street were flooded, but the mer-
chants had ample warning and had
removed most of their goods. In Mrs.
Brann's store the water rose several
feet on the street floor There was
also considerable water in the Bridges
shoe store.
