Coburn Football Star
Injured in Practice
Especial to Kennebec Journal

Especial 10 heHHeDeC JouiHdD
Waterville, Oct. 6-The Coburn
football team was given a setback
during the practice session yesterday
afternoon when Tom Khoury, star
halfback pulled two ligaments in his
ankle which will mean that he will be
unable to be on the field for the next
few days. 1t is thought however that
he will be in the lineup against Kicker
on Seaverns field next Saturday
morning.
The workout yesterday was light.
Much time was devoted to practicing
signals and at the close of the session
there was a snappy scrimmage. Sub
situations were many and the whole
crew saw some action. The squad
now numbers about % and call has
been issued for more candidates. The
lineup against Kicker Saturday will
be practically the same as that which

Planned in Cooperation With AnSaloon League to Insure
Permanent Enforcement in Wet Strongholds
DERAL ACTION TO BE FOLLOWED BY ORGANIZATION TO
SECURE COOPERATION ALL LOCAL OFFICIALS
ctive Action by County and Municipal Authorities Under Illinois
hibiton Act Ultimate o Dry


prohibition agents Under the personal
leadership Of Field Chief Charles w.
Vursel, raided 80 places in Kankakee
and vicinity against which evidence OF
violations had been previously secured.
This was the biggest and most success
fnl raid that has yet been made by the
federal forces in Illinois. Practically all
OF the field men in the state took part.
The raid was so carefully planned and
SO well executed that no advance infor-
nation reached any of the persons
against whom warrants had been sworn
out. All of the agents entered the places
assigned to them at exactly the same
time, Has in the morning. Warrants
were read to the proprietors, premises
were searched samples OF liquor were
taken tor evidence and persons in charge
placed under arrest and taken TO the po-
lice station. Then the news spread rap
idly.
Great Excitement Prevailed
The scene at the police station is thus
described in the Kankakee Daily Repub-
ican: Kankakee hasn't had quite as
exciting time for several weeks. Short
ly after noon the government men began
bringing their prisoners to the police sta
ton With many of them came their
bonds for them. By l o'clock the crowd
in and around the city hall was SO inn
nensc that pedestrians had TO almost
fight their way along Merchant street.
At 2 o'clock, not only Merchant street,
but the alley near the station as we'll,
was filled with people some curious, 9th
ers anxious, and some there on business.
At the police station Field Chief Vur-
sell took charge of making arrangements
for the appearance of prisoners before
u. S. Commissioner Jenkins at Danvlle.
Some were taken there at once and 9TH
ers were able to provide satisfactory as
surances that they would be present on
the following Monday.
Trial Set for March 10 Term
At Danvile most of those who went
before the commissioner were bound
over to the grand jury scheduled to meet
on March e. Trial will be in the federal
court at Danville during the term COM
mencing March To- 1t is anticipated that
great many of the alleged violators
taken in the Kankakee raids will plead
guilty because of the conclusive nature
of the evidence against them. In addi-
ton to intoxicants found in the various
places raided there will be the testimony
of the agents who had purchased lawless
liquor in these places during the prelim-

Will Fight Against Conviction

VIII right Against conviction
However it is expected that desperate
efforts will be made in behalf of num-
ber of those arrested in an effort to Sc
cure their dismissal without punishment.
Among those arrested at Kankakee was
Bruno ]. Mathews, a supervisor in Kan
kakee county and long prominent in To-
cal politics.
IT is said that nearly all the prisoners
taken are old timers in the business and
have been violating the laws for years.
Newspaper files in Kankakee show that
Mathews had been arrested for violating
liquor laws as early as January 10, 1908,
over q years ago.
In spite OF efforts that viii doubtless
be made to secure minimum fines and
avoid Jail sentences, it is likely tnat
more severe puniShments will be dealt
out in the federal court at Danyille 1t
is predicted the federal judge will not
only give violators Jail sentences but
also to paddock their places of business.
Public Demands Real Punishment
Strong sentiment exists among the
citizens of Kankakee for maximum pun
ishmcnt because of the long endured and
arrogant violations of most of those fac
ing federal charges. Local citizens are
particularly interested in the application
of the paddock feature permanently clos
ing each lawiess liquor joint for one
year.
The Kankakee raids were in harmony
with the Anti-Saloon Leagues program
of cooperation with citizens and officials
for law enforcement. Herbert H. Hood,
superintendent of the eastern district of
Illinois, had been in conference with rep
resentative citizens for many weeks and
was thoroughly familiar with local con-
tablished policy the Anti-Saloon League
recommends federal action only when for
some reason or other t..cre is continued
failure by local officials to remedy law
less conditions.
Public Will Be Informed
Following federal action it is the
Leagues plan to hold local public mass
meetings at which time survey of local
officials is presented and recommenda-
tons are publicly given. with view to-
ward developing effective cooperation
among local officials to insure permanent
prohibition enforcement.

kakee public mass meeting as the next
step in the solution OF the enforcement

A number OF weeks previous to the

in Kane county. Many places charged

Look here young man, Next time

1t Is said that a hair cut was a
laborious job with Wash" because
he always took out a quantity of
pictures taken when he was in
the barber shop at the State Cap
itol in Boston to show his Gus
toners.
The theory that the eclipse was
responsible for "Wash's' indiscre-
ton is based on the fact that when
last seen, a few minutes before
his alteration with Gay, he was
on the Senate floor looking at the
eclipse with his smoked glass and
