BANKER HARRIS SEEKS
 . TO CAST OFF HIS WIFE
New York Financial Man Asks Oi- Norcc, Claiming That He Was
 Victim of Fraud.

New York. Feb. 26.-The trial of the suit filed by Beverly Lee Harris, prominent banker, for annulment ot his marriage to Eleanor Elaine Har- ris. was opened today in supreme court. MT. Harris claims that he was drawn into his marriage with the young woman through fraud. Both formerly lived in Memphis Tenn.
 Tn his complaint, Mir. Harris sets forth that when he married the young woman he thought her to be a mem- ber of the family that founded the famous Lee line of steamboats that piled between landings on the Mississ- ippi river and that she was related to many reputable southern people. in cluding Eli Rayner a wealthy Mem phis resident. He complained that he found these representations were un- true and that she was a child born out of wedlock.
 In preliminary proceedings, Mrs. Harris insisted that her husband knew all about her origin and life be- fore he married her. She asserted that she had always been good woman and q loyal wife.
 Selection of the jury was begun immediately after the trial opened.

England Interested.

London, Feb. 26.--Much interest and curiosity is being manifested by British government and steamship company officials over the seizure by the American government treasury authorities Of 1s6 cases of liquor on board the White Star liner Adriatic. Ii is recognized that the confiscation is entirely legal and legitimate, in view of+the fact that the liquor treaty be- tween the two countries has not yet been ratified, and the British govern ment consequently has no intention of protesting 10 Washington. as it would have done had the seizure been made outside the threc-mile limit.
 At the same time British shipping officials are puzzled to know what spe- cial set of circumstances prompted the American authorities to make a seizure in this specific case, in view of the known fact that the British transatlantic liners have been allowed for some time 10 bring in alcoholic stores under seal pending action on the treaty.
 Is no secret here that most Of tho British transatlantic steamers have been able to serve their patrons on eastward voyages recently with their favorite beverags from the regular wine card, and British steamship offi- cials on this side arc naturally anx- ious 10 sec whether the American treasury will continue it's seizure pending the ratification of tho treaty by tho American congress and tho British parliament.

Disclose Liauor.

New York, Feb. e6-Customs of ticials today revealed that liquor had been seized aboard the White Stal liner Adriatic last Friday night ''To begin with" said Special Agent Estabrook of the treasury department who supervised the seizure, we did not take off 1S6 cases, as reported ir 1 London, but S5 cases.
 ''The S5 cases were the number the Adriatic had in stock in excess of the amount allotted her under the per nit granted by the public health branch of the immigration depart ment.
 As cuStomary-and not according 10 the new Emile treaty. which is not yet signed-the government doc tors issued the Adriatic a permit io carry as much liquor On its eastward Toyage as was deemed necessary for medicinal purposes for her crew and passengers.
 "Adriatic officers protested our re- moval of the liquor they had on hand in excess of the permitted allotment. So We asked the public health doctors again to make certain We were acting lip to regulations. They verified the permit. There still were S5 cases in excess of the stipulated amount, so there was no surplus"
 Local officials of the White Star line professed total ignorance of the fact that any liquor had been re- moved from the Adriatic prior to her latest sailing, last Saturday morning.

THEATER ROWDYISN
 MUST FALLING
Judge Says Public Is Entitled to See Shows Without Disturbance

The row at the Capitol theater Sun day night was aired in police court this morning before Judge Benjamin W. filling. Louis Squillacote of 16 Maple street having meted out to him s s2O fine for breach Of the peace. and 8 suspended sentence of I6 days on an additional charge of resistance, and Michael Jerzeski a sentence of l5 days for assault on Squillacote and SIC fine for obstructing the sidewalk.
 Judge filling, in imposing the sen tcnces, said that it was his intention to put a stop to rowdyism in the theaters and public hall if he has to send every one brought before him to jail. He said that there arc many young men in the city who do not know the difference between right and wrong and they need to be taught q lesson. He said that the public has 8 right to go to a theater and enjoy an evenings performance without being disturbed by a crowd of rowdies who seem to go there for no other pur- pose other than to make a disturb ance.
 According to the story told the court of the occurrences Sunday night Squillacote and about seven others en- tered the theater and took seats fin one of the boxes. One of the party de- cided that he would go out for a smoke and asked SQuillacote to hold his seat for him. While he was out .Ierzeki entered the box and asked Squillacote if the seat was taken and was told that it was. He walked away and after q few minutes came back and asked again if the seat was taken. He was told again that it was. An argument started between Squilla- cote and Jerzeski over the seat and Patrolmai Cayer. who was on duty at the theater. rushed down and told Squilacote that he would have to get out.
 Suuilacote started to argue with the policeman about his right 10 eject him from the theater, and during this argument, Jcrzeki is alleged to have struck Squillacote on the arm. Pa trolman Cayer tried 10 take Squillacote out but he resisted, at the same time using abusive language that attracted the attention of the entire audience. Patrolman Michael Cosgrove went to the scene and the two finally succeed cd in putting handcuffs on him,
 While Squillacote was standing be- tween the two pairolmen with hand cuffs on him Jerzeski is alleged to have given hm a punch nj the eye. A num- bcr of witnesses testified to that and Jerzeslti admitted that he had pushed Squillacotc. This was the assault of which Jerzeski was found guilty al- though he was not arrested on the charge until Squillacotc had entered & complaint against him. He was found guilty Of the assault, although Patrolman Cayer told the court that he did not sec Jerzeski touch Squilla- cote,
 Jerzeski was arrested in front Of the police station by Patrolman Gus tave Hellberg after he refused to move.

ter and the further act ha you have
seen fit to send a copy of your vote
to the chief executive, | should regard
it as unworthy of my attention. All
l care to say Is that the premises
upon which this vote was based are
for the most part unsound.
a. majority of the stock of the
Lincoln County Trust Company, at
the time of it's failure. was owned by
individuals interested in the business
of selling securities and located in
Massachusetts. No other bank in this
state then was or Is row under the
control of these individuals. or any
of them. or any interests allied with
them. / know of no dozen banking
institutions or of any single banking
institution which was wrecked by
the failure of that company or whose
standing has been in any way i'm
paired by such failure. Whether the
officers of that company have been
indicted for conducting bucket shop
in Massachusetts I DO not know. IL
such is the fact neither the Lincoln
County Trust Company, nor any
other Maine bank, has been in any
way affected.
"The action of the department in
closing the Lincoln County Trust
Company was not due 20 any suspi-
cion of criminality or illegality on the
part of any of it's officers. It's direc-
tors were. with one exception. resi-
dents of Wiscasset and vicinity, and
men of character and standing. The
receivers appointed by the court are
thoroughly competent and reliable,
and If there has been my wrong do
ing or mismanagemen.. ! am certain
that they will see to II that the de-
posiors are fully protected.
IT trust that you will take the pains
to see that the contents Of this let
ter are communicated to the citizens
OF. your community who were respon-
hible for this action. and tell them
that IL they have any information
tending to sustain the serious charges
they have made they would at once
communicate 1t to this department.
IT trust you will give this commun-
ication the same degree of publicity
which was accorded the action of the
voters of Westport."
