‘DRY’ SOLON'
FAVORS BEER
Maine Senator Says Light
Wines And Malt Bev
erages Okeh
PRESQUE Isle. Me., June 28.—
—Maine, which 75 years ago adopt
ed a prohibitory liquor law, today
learned that its junior United
Spates senator, elected on a dry
platform, was an advocate of modi
fication.
Senator Arthur R. Gould, repub
lican. in a support of a testimon
ial letter in which he told a grape
Juice company he had secured
“some very good results from the
concern’s unfermented product, as
serted It was his “right to have,
make and drink” light wines and
beer.
“Everybody who knows me,” he
added, “knows the sentiments re
lating to prohibition as expressed
in that letter are my sentiments.”
He said that the licensing of light
wines and beer would be a great
imnrovement over the present pro
hibition law “which seems Impos
sible to enforce.”
The senator's statement drew im
mediate announcements from anti
saloon leaders that the state's dry
fores could be aligned against his
re-election a year hence.
The letter was made public In a
St. Louis civil action after counsel
for the grape juice company said
it would be introduced to aerate
claims that the concern's product
was unsatlsfactorv.

CROWD HEARS
FIGHT STORY
Herald Blow By Blow Report
Meets With Fans
Approval
Upholding that old gag about all
the world loving a winner, a crowd
estimated at some 500 souls shouted
approval in front of The Herald
building last night as Max Schmel
ing plastered Paulino Uzcudun into |
the well known pulp in the month’s
premier fistic encounter and the
best heavyweight go since the
Sharkev-Stribling setto in Florida.
It was distinctly an Uzcudun
crowd as the opening gong sent the
two fighters out over the 15-round
route. The audience was quiet
when Maxie won the opening
rounds by outsmarting his heavier
opponent, but rousing cheers greet
ed announcements that Paulino ao
parently was wearing down his less
experienced rival toward the middle
of the fight.
And then it happened! The young
German rocked the Basque to the
shoe laces with a resounding pop
to the Jaw and from then on he
battered him about at will until a
merciful bell at the end of the fif
teenth round ended the uneven
struggle.
The customers didn’t like it at
first, but moans pave way event
ually to cheers, as the pang changed
over to ride with the winner.
When G. W. Dennett, who kindly
consented to announce the results,
told them the judges' decision, it
was okeii with everybody. Judging
from the huzzahs loosed in unison.
