MAINE SENATOR ID
 STAND BY LETTER
Admits He's "Xd' md De.
 lor6 Prohibition LaX

Presque Isle, Me-, June 2S (AP)- Maine, which 75 years ago adopted . prohibitory liquor law, today learned that its junior United States senator, elected on . dry platform, was an advocate of modification.
 Senator Arthur R. Gould, repub- ican, in support of . testimonial letter in which he told . St. Louis grape jules company he had secured @sonae very good results" from the eoncern's unfermented product, as- serted last night that it was his fright to have, make and drink" light wines and beer.
 Evsryess kaews Sentiments
 Everybody who knows me-" he declared, "knows that the sentiments relating to prohibition as expressed in that letter are my sentiments. " He said that the licensing of light wines and beer would be great im- provement over the present prohibit tion law which seems impossible to enforce"
 The senator's statement drew im- mediate announcements from anti saloon leaders that the states dry forces would be aligned against his reelection . year hence.
 The letter was made public yes- terday in a St. Louis civil action after counsel for the grape juice company said it would be introduced to refute claims that the concerns product was unsatisfactory.
 Questioned at his home here, Sen ator Gould was vehement in defense of his right to 'have, make and drink" wine and beer. Residents of his own section of northern Maine made wine from elderberries and grapes, he said. God Almighty put those flowers and vines on the earth and he intended them to be used"

 Hylan, in expressing appreciation for the nomination, charged the city administration with graft and cor ruption and declared the moral con- ditions in the city constituted dis grace.

Doran at Washington would not comment on the letter, he declared that manufacture of wine from grape juice violated the prohibition law in his opinion and was subject to the penalty imposed for any other illegal manufacture of intoxicants. Assistant Secretary bowman of the treasury, in charge of prohibition enforcement, explained that it never has been the policy of the bureau to enter private homes for the purpose of determining whether fruit juices were fermenting unless it was estab- ished that the beverages were to be placed on sale.
 In the testimonial, dated May II, 1927, Senator Gould wrote:
 "As you know, I come from g pro hibition state and I am supposed to be prohibitionist, but l am about as loyal to the prohibition element as some of these southern democrats are to the democratic party While l am from a prohibition state and find it is not policy to be too outspoken as to my statements, don't mind telling you and the world that l be- lieve license for light wines and beer would be great improvement over the present prohibition law"
 Voted Against Jones Bill
 Senator Gould, who was elected in 1926 to fill the unexpired term of the late Bert M. Fernald, voted against the recently enacted Jones law, which imposes stiff penalties for liquor law violations, because he "had always stood that way" He has not announced his candidacy for reelection.
 Rev. Frederick w. Smith of Waterville, executive secretary of the Maine Christian Civic League, stated last night that the organiza- tion would oppose Senator Gould's reelection. The league represents the Anti-Saloon League of America, which has no branch in Maine.
 Mrs. Althea G. Quinbyl state pres ident of the w. C. T. U., said that Senator Gould was not the candi- date of the w. c. T. U. Certainly the organization will be even more frank and outspoken against his re- election"

The Star Spangled Banner.

TN the early morning the British slipped past
the fort up the river, unmindful that Fort
Covington was yet to be passed. In this posi-
ton the two forts and the American barges in
the river poured CALLING FIRE upon the British
feet, raking it fore and aft. Fort McHenry re-
ceived great final burst Of British lombard
ment as the feet tried to retreat back down
the river. Shrieks and groans Of the dying and
wounded could be heard from the fort, and then
the firing suddenly ceased Key and his COM
panions did not know whether this meant VIC
tory or defeat.
Another several hours Of maddening anxietyI
With the first approach Of the dawn, Mr.. Key
turned his weary and bloodshot eyes toward the
fort. Misty darkness and fog hung over the
harbor, enveloping the fort. At last q bright
streak of sunlight shot across the sky. There
hung the flag! 1t had caught "the CLEAN Of
the mornings first BEAM" And so he made
some notes on the back Of g letter he carried.
Shortly after sunrise word was received from
the British admiral that the attack had failed
and that Mr.. Key and his party were at liberty
to go at their pleasure. They proceeded to
Baltimore and on the evening Of the same day
he wrote out the first complete draft Of the song
few days later Judge Nicholson, who
thought the poem excellent, sent it to the ONCE
OF the Baltimore American and Commercial
Daily Advertiser, where the words were set In
type and later copies were struck OF IN handful
form and distributed on the street. It imme-
diately caught popular favor and was set to
music by Ferdinand Durang, who used an adap-
tation of an old tune, "Anacreon In Heaven"
and it was sung in the Holiday Street Theater
by popular actress on the same day.

She petted him, she babied him, and had per-

"Pet-boy" The young man flushed whenever
she applied it to him, even after months In

at heart he was shy, serious, ambitious fellow,

It was when Paula was 10 that there wedged
into her life an emotion that was new, terrify-
ing and ecstatic. A secret emotion, which she
would not admit at first even to herself and yet
as it became more and more apparent it was
wonderful to lie on the cot she invariably occu-
pied at the foot Of her mothers great bed and
let these strange ecstaSies sweep over her In

Furthermore, Gen. Ross had boosted that he

Key undoubtedly witnessed the landing Of

one-han miles off the breastworks, from which
position it could throw shells into the fort with

On Tuesday morning, September Is, Admiral
