BRENNAN'S STORE
SOLD TO HICKEY

Brennan's store, the last Of
,L'Anse's oldest mercantile establish
ments, was sold last Saturday to the
Hickey Mercantile company, the
transfer dating from the first of No
vember. The sale of this property,
which includes the lot, store build
ing and contents, had been rumored
for the past few weeks, but no defin-
ite information could be obtained
from the parties interested.
John A. Hickey, who will manage
the store, is no stranger to L'Anse,
being resident of Pequaming the
past twenty-one years, coming there
first as principal Of schools. After
two years he accepted a position with
Charles Hebard & Sonssas scaler. In
1907 he was appointed manager of
the store, succeeding Fri E. Tracy,
who resigned to go into business for
himself at Houghton. Mr.. Hickey is
at present the president of the board
of education.
The Hebad general store was one
of the largest and best stocked in the
county, caring for the needs of the
six hundred people Of Pequaming,
the jobbers and company camps.
Mr.. Hickey's training as buyer and
overseeing the details in this store
has fitted him thoroughly for the
new position.
The late Patrick Brennan, who
founded this business, came to L'Anse
in 1871 from Fewsville, near ASSN
ins, where he conducted a general
store, locating there in the late six
ties. He was associated with Edward
Penberthy until 1880, when Mr.. PEN
berthy retired, Mr.. Brennan conduct
ing the business until his death, when
it was changed to the P. Brennan
Company, his children taking over
the business. This store has always
carried large and staple line and
had one Of the best mercantile rat
ings in this section.

Harding Delays
Dry Conference
of Cove ernOrs

WASHINGTON, June l2.-Presi-
dent Harding will be unable to hold
his projected conference of COVER
nors on prohibition enforcement
until after his return from Alaska,
it was officially announced at the
white house today.
Two reasons We're given for the
pcstponement of the conference
first, the fact that many of the gov
ernors were tied up by the sessions
of their state legislatures, and see.
ond, the president s inability to tell
the governors how far the federal
government would go in enforce
ment.
1t was explained bv an admins
tration spokeman that the presi-
dent was embarrassed because of the
lack of ruling from the depart
ment of Justice on his ability TO use
the army and navy if need be, to
bring about 100 per cent enforce
ment. When this ruling will be
available, the white house spokes
man did not know.

MAY MODIFY
DRY LAW FOR
: FOREIGN SHIPS
by United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, June 12.-Presi,
dent Harding will suggest that con
grcss change the Volstead law to
end difficulties growing out of the
supreme court s decision that for
eign ships must not bring even sea
stores of liquor into American
waters, it was indicated today by
an administration spokesman at the
white house.
AT present Mr.. Harding feels the
government has no choice in the
matter but must rigidly enforce the
supreme court s ruling. He believes,
however, that congress had no in.
tention of making the law so drastic
as the supreme court held it to be.
The administration statement to-
day constitutes an answer to the
protests from eight maritime nations
against the new liquor regulations
No exceptions. amendments or
abatements will be made, it was
clearly indicated and all ships en-
tering American waters must re-
main dry under the regulations un.
til congress changes the law.
