Arrest Waterville
Man on Liquor Charge

William '. Nash and Oscar Hag"
lund. deputy sheriffs of Kennebec

tie opposition when they raided the
house of Jospeh Bourgoin at II Lock-
wood street yesterday afternoon in
search of liquor More than a gallon
of alcohol was seized and Bourgoin
will be arraigned in municipal court
on a charge of illegal possession.
Immediately after his arrest he was
brought before Judge Charles Atch-
ley and furnished bonds of $500 for
his appearance at a later date.
The officers visited Bourgoin's
house at 3.45 o'clock. When Mr.. Nash
got to the kitchen with Mr.. Haglund
a little behind him. Bourgoin met
him and made an effort to hold him
back. The officers were able to see
Bourgoin's wife run through the back
door with a leather bag in her hand
and Nash got to the door just in time
to see her throw it from the back
porch which overlooks the Kennebec
river. The bag was recovered and it
was found to contain a gallon can
filled with alcohol. A search of the
house revealed bottle containing a
small amount of alcohol and a large

association with the other aldermen
to be such success"
Mrs. Pratt herself said today she
has enjoyed it all; the hours of
study in the political research bur-
eau, the regular Tuesday meetings,
the informal sitting around and
Ginning with the boys"
Il think there is every opportunity
for women who will go into politics
in a practical way" Mrs. Pratt re-
piled to question.
Il do not believe in women going
into anything as women
Il don't think there is any future
for womeh's party.
I'VE have got to face the fact that
this countr~ is party governed. In
tead of crying out that all politics is
rotten, we should realize that the
better politicians we make of our
selves, the better government we
shall have"
AS an energetic campaigner, Mrs.
Pratt canvassed every part of her
district, spending whole evenings in
the tenement kitchens of the Ghetto,
among negro families and those OF
every nation.
Those polygot sections voted in the
first alderwoman far ahead of her
ticket. Mrs. Pratt, who wears real
pearls and two-carat diamonds as
other women wear overshoes, polled
an abnormally large socialist vote.
The assembly has followed suit.

New YOrk's First
Alderwoman Makes
Good with Tammany

New ork, April 7-(AP)-Mrs
John T. Pratt, New York's first al
derwoman," has been three months
riding the Tammany Tiger She
doesn't yet in the least resemble the
we'll known:
e young lady from Niger,
who went for a ride on a Tiger.
They came back from the ride
With the lady inside
And a smile on the face of the
Tiger
Although she and two male Repub-
licans are the only representatives OF
that party in an overwhelming Dem
ocratic party, Mrs. Pratt by no means
has been swallowed.
The smile indicates the Tiger has
accepted with pleasure the first wom-
an rider in his aldermanic ring.
She's a regular fellow said Char
les McManus, the majority whip. al
whose crack the 81 regular Democrats
fall into line.
"And she's got brains. She attends
to business.
You can say from all of US; She's
perfect lady"
She's no obstructionist' added
Frank Cunningham. chairman of fin
ances, dean of the assembly after II
years in Tammany. "She hasn't been
bit of trouble"
Although her logical fate was that
of being swallowed up, lesislatively
speaking, Mrs. Pratt has stood out
on many counts. The first day in Of
flee she introduced an emergency
measure for a S165,000 appropriation
for the appointment of an adequate
number of tenement inspectors, a
measure backed by the Tammany
tenement commissioner.
She later proposed two local laws:
One, to provide for the rewriting of
New York's redundant charter; the
other to amend 1t in regard to parks
management. All three measures are
now in committee. Mrs. Pratt is a
member of the local laws committee
Mrs. Pratt has many times placed
question, such as her embarra ssing
What is an emergency" or re-
quest for a long roll call, or an eX-
PLANTATION of her minority vote.
Mrs. Pratt who was gray hair
quick moving. dark eyes and a win
ming smile, is the wife Of John
Teele Pratt. one of the wealthiest
men in New Yor. and the mother OF
five children, now all grown up, OF
nearly so. Her home in East Isl
street has seen distinguished poll
ticians of both parties She counts
among her personal friends Herbert
Hoover, John w Davis and Franklin
D Roosevelt. She has been delegate
to national conventions and national
elector.
Her running for alderman was
stepping down from top to the bot
TOM" said Judge Frank A. Coleman
Republican leader of her district, the
15th-the silk stocking district"
"She had nothing to gain from this
lowly office, with no dignity and lit
tie power.
Everyone recognized what Mrs
Pratt's going into the municipal as
sembly would mean in the awaken
ing of the civic conscience.
