LOCAL ANGLERS
BACK FROM MOX|E
WITH TROUT LIMIT

Harry H. Lee, Augustus we'll
known horseman, but who also is a
disciple of Isaac Walton, reports that
the fishing at Lake Moxie is better
than last year with many excellent
catches being reported. Mr.. Lee and
Frank Stevens, manager of the Au-
gusta Dye house have just returned
from four-day trip to Troutdale
and brought back all the law allows
so speckled beauties which ranged
from 1-2 pounds down. Although
it rained part of their stay, they had
lots Of sport and met many anglers
from other partssof the State, Phila-
delphia, New York and other places.
Many guests are being cared for at
Troutdale Cabin. A party Of Water
vile people were occupying a camp
at Black Narrows. Reports Of poor
fishing at MoXie are certainly untrue,
in the opinion of Messrs. Lee and
Stevens.

Bates Coach Keeps
Question Entering
Nationals Dark

Especial to Kennebec Journal)
Lewiston, May 22-With the New
Englands over, Coach Jenkins track
sters have for the most part finished
their seasons work and track prac-
tice has been concluded for the rest
OF the year. 1t is probable that
Bates will be represented at the Ma
tionals in Philadelphia by several of
her best men. but Coach Jenkins is
keeping the truth dark.
Last year at the Harvard Intercol-
legiates Ray Buker wore the Garnet
and was barely nosed out at the tape
by Higgins Of Columbia. This year
it is probable that the coach will send
Frank Mckinley "a, Garnet captain
and winner in the Maine, and New
England meets over the two mile
course; Ben Sargent '25, who an
neXed the mile at Orono and barely
failed to repeat on Saturday at Cam
bridge; and Clarence Archibald '25,
the premier quarter miller Of the COL
lege and man ybelieve of the State.
A poor decision robbed him Of vic
tory at Orono but he proved his
worth by winning his trial heat at
the New Englands and placing fourth
though boxed by the other confess
tants. 1t is possible that other men
may be sent but these three are the
outstanding stars for the Garnet this
year and merit the honor.

Seven Western
States Are To
Favor Dries

San Francisco, May 81 CA. P.)-
Seven western states, during recent
sessions of their legislatures, passed
measures affecting the enforcement
of prohibition. They are Nevada,
Wyoming. New Mexico, Colorado,
Washington, Oregon and Montana.
Four others, California. Idaho, Utah
| and Arizona, did not adopt legisla-
ton to this end. The record Is as
follows:
California-Three bills directly re-
lating to prohibition were intro
duced in the 1923 session Of the
legislature of California, and all
three died in committee. One was a
repeal of the little Volstead," or
Wright act, which makes the Vol
stead act and any future amendments
thereto the law of California;; an
other was bill requiring phar-
macists and others legally dealing
Ill liquors to sell them at 1ea
sonable profit: the third intended to
limit the right of search and seizure.
Nevada-The repeal of two laws
considered so drastic that they could
not be enforced. and the adoption of
the Volstead act as the prohibition
enforcement law for the state. was
the way the prohibition problem was
handled by the Nevada legislature.
One OF the measures repealed was
the bone dry" act prohibiting the
manufacture. sale, or importation of
any Intoxicating liquor, which was
an initiative act adopted by the peo-
pie in 1919.
Wyoming-Two laws passed nv
the 1928 Wyoming legislature deal.
ing mainly with prohibition took ef-
feet April I. One provides that con.
tinued and open violations of any law
IN any county will constitute prima
facle evidence of malfeasance in Of
flee on the part Of county attorneys
sheriffs or other peace officers and
makes them subject to removal hv
the governor without trial or hear.
Ing. The other requires these Officers
to make monthly reports to the Sta to
law enforcement commissioner con
corning all violations and complaints
and the disposition made of each.
