Oddities of Prohibition.
A little more than a year ago the
Rev. Mr. Pearson was elected
of Portland, Me., upon a platform call¬
ing for the strict enforcement of the
prohibition law. Recently the reverend
sheriff made a report upon his first
year’s work. Oddly enough he takes
especial pleasure in pointing to the
sum of the fines collected—some $30,
000 —rather than to the suppression, or
repression, of the traffic. Indeed, he
does not claim that the sale of spirit
uous liquors has been entirely stopped;
only that the law is more generally
obeyed now than heretofore, owing to
the vigilance of himself and his five
deputies. Portland is a city some¬
what smaller than Savannah, the last
census giving it a few more than 50,
()00 population, practically all white.
An amusing and at the same time
interesting feature of Sheriff Pearson’s
report deals wiih the devices employed
to evade the prohibition law. He finds
that “Yankee ingenuity,” as he calls
it, has been remarkably busy with de
r m. ::s f°r concealing whisky
and ether liquors. In a drug store fie
found a soda fountain with a wonder¬
ful faucet which, turned to the right,
would give out only a harmless “soft”
drink, but turned to the left its flow
was rye whisky. A man had con¬
structed a coil of pipes to fit around
his body, and the coil contained his
stock-in-trade of whisky. A woman
had a cradle so r ranged that she could
rock her baby in it, but if a customer
for a drink happened along she could
produce any one of a dozen kinds of
beverages from under the little in

nocent’s resfitag place. The sheriff
found also seve al mattresses whose
chief filling was whisky and beer. A
carpenter’s tool chest was found to be
three- ourtbs false, the false part com¬
prising a whisky reservior. Another
device was a tank constructed “so as
to be worn with a long coat.” Hollow
canes, umbrella handles and the like
were numerous and ingeniously de¬
vised. China “nest eggs” tilled with
whisky were sold, and beer dispensed
from milk cans was a common thing.
These were a few of the subterfuges
resorted to for the purpose of evading
the law. In addition there were also
the usual cellar and second-story blind
tigers that are to be found probably
wherever prohibition laws are on the
statute books. Sheriff Pearson said
he had no doubt he would be able to
“control” the cellar and up-stairs traf¬
fic. but feared the “pocket peddlers”
would be veryjhard to eliminate.—Ex.
