Christian Scientists
Oppose Venereal Act

Christian Scientists, represented by
Melvin Il. Sawtclle. an Augusta attor-
ncy opposed the act making more
drastic the public laws relating to mar
riagc of persons infected with venereal
diseases, DIR. George H. CoombS of the
State department of health favored the
bill in a brief address.
Mr.. Sawtelle. who read his remarks.
declared that the bill violated the
principle Of personal liberty and fore
saw danger of every person being
thumb printed, classified and marked
mind" he said THE remedy is in edu-
cation and not in compulsion. If edu-
cation will not do it. compulsion GER
tainly will not"
The act. he declared. would affect ev-
cry person who wished to marry, and
vested in single class. physicians. a
tremendous power and most solemn re-
sponsibility. I'm all sincerity" he add
cd, Il protest against such such dele
cation of. power and responsibility to
any man or group of men,"
He feared that persons desiring to
marry would go to a cheaper class of
doctors and get certificates needed I'M
der the law. and said that no class
should be exposed to SO great a temp
fation to commit a colossal fraud.
Another act considered by the COM
mittee made void marriage of persons
afflicted with venereal diseases solem-
nizcd out of the State. upon their rn-
turn to Maine. This was favored by
DR.. Coombs and there was no oppose
ton.

Governors bill. and I hesitate to get
up to say anything" said DR.. Ken
dali. THE present law defines the
duties of the public health council.
and although it has no executive au-
thority. it acts in an advisory capa-
city. Man, cases come up in which
advice is needed and the members of
the committee very often advise
wisely. when it would be difficult
for one man to reach a decision.
"Ths bill gives one man a good
deal of power and | should dislike
to be without the council so long as
| continued in office as commission
or The act does away with the pub
lie health council entirely and puts
everything up to the commissioner
OF health.
while l hesitate in opposing this
bill, | wish that YOU would look into
it and see just what it means
Answering questions by members
Of the committee, the commissioner
said that the public health council
cost the state less than $1,000 annu-
ally. and he suggested that If a re-
duction of expense was desired, the
meetings might be held quarterly in
stead of monthly.

ored it. Massachusetts had a law
on this subject as did most of the
states except New Hampshire and
Vermont. and Maine. In his opin-
ion. to per cent of the mattresses
sold in Maine were made by local
concerns. He said that the hair
used in the manufacture of these
goods came from South America
Inc danger in<using second hand

The act providing that if ono or
more persons sell Intoxicating liquor
to one or others. he shall he deemed
guilty of a conspiracy and scntcnc-
ed to serve three months in Jail and
pay a fine of $1,000, was championed
by Mr.. Owen.
Mr.. Owen also spoke in favor of
the act making penalty of a inc

900 and in addition so days in Jail

ize ! the man who buys but the man
who sells liquor" said Mr.. Owen.
National prohibition is intended to
stop the use of liquor because of the
damaging effect it has upon the
community at large. A man who is
100 per cent American as buyer
should not enter into conspiracy
with the seller to break the law"
G Rep. Cummings Of Portland said
that he thought that the temperance
people could accomplish more by
presenting bills in reason to the leg
islature.
Mr.. Owen said that perhaps some
of the bills introduced might be con-
sidcred freak legislation.
The last bill to be considered was
one that changed the penalty for
manufacturing liquor from SEN
tence of two months in Jail and a
fine of 81 600 to two months in Jail
and fine of not less than $1,000 nor
more than $1,000 and in default of
payment not less than 60 days nor
more than six months. This bill
was also endorsed by Mr.. Owens.
This is the old law when liquor
was not supposed to he manufac-
tured in Maine" said Mr.. Owen. "In
later years the man who was caught
ope, ating a still would be sentenced
to two months in Jail and to pay a
fine of $1,000. He would serve the
two months and after that time
would become a poor debtor. The
proposed law would be more salts

to pay fine of $1,000 or perhaps

DRY AGENTS GET BEER
Raid Nets 1874 Bottles and Ten Gallons
Of Stuff.

All-day maneuvers by Prohibition
Agent r. G. Pfeffer and two of his
aides" resulted in the confiscation
and subsequent destruction of 3S4 bot
ties of beer and ten gallons Of the same
fluid that was about to be bottled.
As the result of the raid on the Lee
Hall street residence, complaints charg-
ing violation of the national prohibi-
ton laws have been filed against two
men and two women. only one OF
whom, Harry o. Donney. has been ar
raigned. His bond was fixed at $500.
All day. in the hot, broiling sun. the
prohibition agent and his aides"
watched the residence. There was no
one at home during the morning and
the early part of the afternoon. Leav-
ing his aides" 10 watch the residence,
Agent Pfeffer returned to his home and
instructed his men TO notify him if the
occupants returned.
While taking bath the agent was
informed that the field was ready for
action. Fresh from his bath the agent
hurried to the house. A Buick auto
mobile. occupied by man and woman.
drove up to the house and both en-
tered.
By clambering up on a grape arbor
the prohibition agent was enabled to
peep through a window. A slit in the
curtain, he reports, made it possible
Tor him TO see the couple at table.
They were drinking beer. he alleges.
The agent entered the house and dis
covered 3S4 bottles Of beer and ten
gallon crock ready 20 be bottled.
