Tarbox Divorce Case Promises a Sensation. Loch-Chapin SI0,000 Alienation Suit Goes Over. Dover, Me., March 6.—(Special).— County Attorney W. A. Burgess is living up to his promises regarding the strict enforcement of the prohibi tory law and at the present time the liquor dealers are more than anxious as to the outcome of the many liquor indictments returned by the grand jury Monday. The grand jury returned 27 indict ments and over 20 of these are for violation of the liquor law in Piscata quis county. The indictments came very unexpectedly as but few were aware of the quiet investigation being made from the county attorney's office for the past month or more. The first liquor sentence was impos ed today when I Tarry Pooler of Guil ford, indicted for a single sale, pleaded guilty and was immediately fined $50 and costs of prosecution amounting to about $18. He paid at once and re turned home. He, however, stated that lie was satisfied that is was not profitable business in the long run and would keep out of it. Eusrene L. Priest of Sar.trervilte ms arraigned to answer to an indictment charging two single sales. He pleaded not guilty and said he could prove his innocence. His case will be disposed o£ by trial later in the week. Priest as soon as the indictment became known hiked to the back side of Guil f.ird .Mountain. He, however, imbibed too freely himself and yesterday was captured without great dilliculty by Deputy Sheriff J. H. Weymouth of Sungerville. Ho is, at present, in jail awaiting trial. Deputy Sheriff W. G. Foss of Fox croft arrived here this afternoon from ftucksport having in custody W. D. Money of Guilford charged with a sin gle sale. The man skipped to Bucks* port Monday and was captured there yesterday by a Hancock county dep uty, who had been not)tied to be on the lookout. He was committed to jail to await trial. Isaac A. Harris, the Greenville druggist who pleaded guilty to being a common seller, had not been sen tenced up to a late hour this after noon, although he was in court all day. He ligured in another liquor case several months ago and at the time was discharged by Judge K. C. Smith in the municipal court, tlic.ro being in sufficient evidence to convict. Not for many years has the county been so excited over the liquor situa tion as now. The officials evidently mean business for only yesterday two places of business in Foxcroft run by highly respected citizens were given thorough overhaulings. It is intimated that more searches are to be made and in places never jjeforo troubled. People who have wet goods on hand for their own private use are a/trifle worried and in some instances are hiding the stuff in secure places for fear the officers will get hold of it and perhaps make it rather uncomfortable for them. The Shirley adultery case State vs. Albert Church will be tried tomorrow satinnal nature and that a his crowd of spectators will be on hand is evi dent. t he respondent is at liberty un der heavy bonds and has employed an able attorney to conduct his case. Among the criminal matters is a pitiful affair. Fred lSushey, who sev eral months ago was bound over for alleged breaking and entering, was at tile time a big husky woodsman. To day he is very thin in tlesh and at times a raving maniac. Yesterday lie beat his head against the door of his cell until the other prisoners were alarmed and called an officer to quiet him. lie will be sent, as soon as pos sible. to the hospital for the insane at Augusta. A part of the divorce case wherein Fred M. Tarbox, ex-city marshal of Biddeford and later chief of police of Newton, Mass., asks that lie be grant ed a decree of divorce from his wife, whom lie alleges is a habitual drunk ard, was beard last night before Judge Peabody in his private chamber. He baa a big lot of witnesses from around Boston and the case gives promise of being rather a lengthy one, as it is understood Mrs. Tarbox i« to oppose the granting of the divorce and that a Piscataquis attorney has her case in charge. Mr. Tarbox, it will be remem bered, was in the limelight several years ago owing to' the fact that lie arrested Charles I,. Tucker of Auburu dale. Mass., who after a sensational trial was executed for the murder of Mallei Page. He was then chief of po lice of Newton, near Auburndale. He bought a farm in Atkinson in this county a year or more ego and It.ss since resided there. The last civil matter of the term was heard this afternoon and the re mainder of the week will be given up to criminal matters. It is expected (Continued on Page Twelve.)

THAW’S MOTHER ON THE WITNESS STAND. Dramatic Scene As She Testifies To Save Her Son From the Shadow of Electric Chair. BREAKS DOWN UNDER HER GRIEF. Examination Very Brief By Both Counsel—Delmas and Jerome Again Have War of Words. New York, March 6.—Another dra matic chapter was added to the his tory of the trial of Harry K. Thaw for the murder of Stanford White, today, when the gray haired mother of the defendant took the witness stand to contribute what she might toward saving her wayward boy from the death-danger which menaces him. Mrs. Thaw’s story before the jury was brief. When Delphin Delmas had deftly limited her examination to the change she had noted in her son's con dition following his return from Paris in 1903, after Evelyn Nesbit had told him her story, and when District At torney Jerome had with the greatest respect and consideration, conducted a short and ineffectual cross-examina tion, the mother-love welled strong in Mrs. Thaw and she felt she had not clone her all. She was loath to leave the witness chair. “There is a question of heredity," she protested, but both Mr. Delmas and Mr. Jerome told her she might Slop down. “I have asked you, madam, all that is considered necessary,” said Thaw's attorney with the utmost deference. Mrs. Thaw half rose, hesitated and was about to sit down again when the leading counsel for the defence offered her his hand to assist her from the stand. Twice during her recital of the events which had caused her to fear that all was not right with her son, Mrs. Thaw broke down and was un able to proceed. Her face Hushed and she made an effort to speak, but the words would not come. After a few moments justice ritzgeraiu asiyu ie llcitously if .she felt able to proceed ind Mrs. Thaw, evidently much cha grined that her great love had over come her strong will of resistance, nodded in the affirmative. She declin ed a glass of water and made an ef fort once more to proceed but failed. Justice Fitzgerald then interposed a relief for which the elderly woman facing him must have been deeply grateful. He said that as many of the witness’ remarks had been uttered in a very low voice it would be nec essary to have the stenographer read nil her testimony up to that time to the jury. When the reading was end ed, Mrs. Thaw had regained her com posure and was able to proceed to the end of her narrative. She said that when Harry came home in 1903 lie seemed depressed and apparently had lost all inteiest in life. He passed sleepless nights, would of ten leave the table at meals and go into the parlor to play upon the piano, the music growing softer and softer until it finally died away. She told in a motherly way of her solicitude for the boy. The family physician was summoned. “He told me a wicked man—prob ably the wickedest man in all New York—had ruined his life." It was not until some time after he had offered this explanation of the change in him that she learned the story of the young woman who was to become her daughter-in-law. Mrs. Thaw told of Harry breaking down at church in Pittsburg and afterwards explaining that it was all because of the sorrow which prevented the young woman he loved being at his side. Mrs. Thaw told of coming to New York to meet Evelyn Nesbit and of giving her consent to her son’s mar riage—the one condition being that the girl’s past life in New York should be a closed book, never to be referred' in any way. Then came the story of the marriage in Pittsburg in April, 1905, the honey moon trip and then a happy, placid: summer spent at the mother’s country home in the mountains. That was all. Mr. Delmas ended her testimony abruptly. The district attorney was taken by surprise and began to cross-examine Mrs. Thaw in a very low' voice, With' the utmost respect in word and man ner. He asked the conditions sur rounding the increase in her son’s al lowance, but Mr. Delmas objected. He asked what the son's income amounted to. Mrs. Thaw said it was moderate and nothing like the sum the newspa pers have so often reported. Mr. Je rome next treaded what he must have felt the thinnest of ice lest he put him self in the attitude of attempting to harrass the pathetic figure in bluck in the witness chair. He asked the moth er what she knew of her son’s rela tions with Miss Nesbit before she be came his wife. “Nothing,” she replied without hesi tancy. The district attorney seemed com pletely baffled and speedily brought liis cross-examination to a close. Mrs. Thaw’s story was deeply im pressive in its simplicity and brevity. Her anxiety to go on and tell more added immeasurably to the meaning nf ni'Amin/fu tvltnauii Thg half-filled court room listened almost breathlessly to each word she uttered and there was a general sigh of relief when Mr. Jerome announced that ftls brief examination had ended. If Harry Thaw’s fate is thrown Into the hands of the 12 men in the jury box who today heard the mother's story, there seems little doubt that what she said will carry wonderful weight with It. But Mr. Jerome gave the impression that he might use the mother's testimony as a weapon in an other direction in liis fight to have a commission appointed to test the pres ent state of mind of the defendant. *,\VhiIe the elder Mrs. Thaw was on the stand today, the district attorney engaged in a wordy war with Mr. Del mas, during which lie uttered publicly for the first lime the threat of a lun acy commission. Mr. Delmas was in voking the presumption of law that Thaw, declared Insane in 1903, remain ed insane In 1904. This was to enable Mrs. Thaw to state conversations with her son during the latter year. These conversations were admlssable only on the ground that they were the utter ances of a person mentally irrespon sible. Mr. Jerome said there was no reason why the assumption should BOt continue down to the present day and if Mr. Delmas’ point was well tak en, the trial should be suspended and a commission appointed. Mr. Jerome added that he was merely suggesting the alternative of a commission for the sake of argument. Justice Fitzgerald upheld Mr. Delmas* (Continued on Page Three.)

It seems to me that the principles of this order might possibly allow that this question remain on the table un til we can be assured of the recovery of the iSiate liquor commissioner. That is the reason why it lias not been tak en from the table and also the reason why I do not like to take it from the table this morning. I will assure the senator from Ken nebec. Mr. Heselton, and the friends of this measure, that very soon there will be introduced a bill Into this Sen ate touching, and curing—I think, the whole objection on their part to the present liquor agency law. Mr. 1IKSELTON of Kennebec: Mr. President. I have no doubt that the statements made by the senator from Oxford are absolutely correct, because 1 have myself seen the letter to which he lefers. I do not wish at this time lo have any possible misconstruction of my own personal motives in connection with this matter. The order was fully explained by me in the Senate when it was introduc ed. It was introduced for the purpose of remedying an imperfect system-as 1 believed, and not for the purpose of investigating anyone's conduct. The House saw fit to attach to this order, for political reasons or other wise. the amendment which I have reason to believe should be passed at the present time, considering the physi cal condition of the State liquor agent; and I am perfectly content, on the as surance of the senator from Oxford, i that this matter should lie upon the table, and that he should present the I law which ho has suggested remedy mf, me c» ii -i* i i ii«■ i n^ri.ias it now exists.

Subsequently on motion by the same senator the bill was ta bled. On motion by Mr. Parkhurst of Pe nobscot House Document No. 2;*S, "Resolve in favor of a Maine soldiers' monument at the National cemetery at Salisbury. North Carolina." was tak en from the table. On further motion by the same senator amendment “A" that the same be amended by changing I the word “six" in the third line, to the word "seven" was adopted ami as j amended the bill was passed to he "n pressed. On motion of Mr. Simpson of York Senate Amemlmnet A to House Document 119 was withdrawn. On motion by Mr. Heselton of Ken nebec Senate Documents Nos. 121 and 125 were taken from the table. Mr. HESELTON: Mr. President. I have five amendments whirh I propose to introduce at the proper time in con nection with this matter. First T intro duce Senate Amendment It to House Document No. 119 as follows: "Amend Section 1 of House Document 119 by strikinp out the word “select i men” In the first line and 12th line and substitutinp therefor the words “muni I cipal officers"; and also by addinp af ter the word "highway” in the third line the words "and roadway": also by addinp after the word "length" in the fourth line, the words "and construct ed” so that the first paragraph of the said section as amended shall read as follows: Section 1. The municipal officers of the several towns of the different coun ties in the State shall make an inspec tion and list of all highways and road way bridges that are 40 feet or more in length and constructed prior to the first day of June. 1907." Tho purpose of ibis amendment is an p:w :nt to any lawyer. The word ‘high A GREAT SPECIAL SALE FOR THIS WEEK AT F. S. SMITH CO’S., GARDINER, ME.

The reason for putting the words “and constructed” is to draw a line of demarcation where the county commissioners can begin their work, leaving out those bridges which are in process of construction, until they are completed. The second amendment which I offer is the following: Senate Amendment E to House Docu ment No. 119. “Amend House Document No. 119 hy inserting after the 25th line of Section 6 and before the words “the expenses’1 in the 26th line, the word Section 7, anti renumbering the lines in this section from one to 22 inclusive.” An examination of the bill will show the senators that evidently the numer al seven was omitted, because Section 6 is followed by Section 8 and the orig inators of this bill and the authors ol this bill have stated to me that tilt numbering should have been so placed The next amendment which I have tf offer Is the following: Senate Amendment D to House Docu ment No. 119. Amend Section 12 of House Docu ment 119 by striking out the wort “and” in the second line and adding the words "and bridge districts” aftei the word “plantations” in the saim line, so that the section as amended shall read as follows: The wore “town” in this art shall he construct ns including cities, towns, organize.-,, plantations and bridge districts. The next amendment which I have to offer is as follows: “Amend Sec tion 1 by adding after the word bridge in the 20th line the words “all bridges under construction on the first day of July, 1907 shall when completed be the property of the State of Maine, in con sideration of said State maintaining and repairing the same, and shall thereafterwards be known as Stare bridges, as hereinafter provided. All bridges, under construction on the first day of July. 1907, when com pleted, shall be the property of the State of Maine in consideration of said State assuming the ri pair of same and shall thereafter be known as State bridges and this is to take over those bridges which are in process of con struction, after they are fully com pleted. 1 also offer the following amend ment: Amend Section 4 in line 46. by inserting after the word “located,” the words “one-third,” and after the words "certified.” the following words “and the town or towns in which said bridge is located shall also reimburse the county for one-third of the cost so cer tift-.i so that the cost of new bridges constructed by authority of this sec tion shall be borne one-third by the State, one-third by the county, and one-third by the town or towns in which said bridge is located.” The last amendment I will state was criticism that has been advanced in both branches of the Legislature that there would he a wild scramble for bridges; and that the county commis sioners. feeling that the expense was to go to the State, would grant the re quests of the municipalities indis criminately; and it was hoped and sug gested by my friends that something like this would be a check upon any such action. In this bill wo have before us for con sideration a bill which simply designs to place upon the State a public bur den that has beep carried these many years by the municipalities under com pulsion of law. It contemplates the care and maintenance by the State of bridges in public ways that arc over 40 feet in length. BrMges in the highways and streets arc merely a part of the street, way or highway itself. Nature has placed wa ter ways in different cities and towns, and those cities and towns, before this time, have built bridges over those wa ter ways and maintained them as a part of the public way. "When that pub lic way was dedicated for public use, tae bridge as a part of tile street or highway became public property, a public work dedicated to the use of ev ery citizen of our State, yes. dedicated to the use of every person who had any right to enter upon it. or go over it. and it could only lie discontinued after cer tain nrooeedure defined by our statutes. Such highways with their bridges have always hot n tinder the paramount tinlrol of tiie State which ouid by statut.-. subject to constitutional lim itations, determine when and where, on wbat plans, at what cost, ail at whose charge, they should be built, and the uses to which they could bo put. Sp well established is the knowledge that public ways are for the legitimate use of everybody that no citizen would question this proposition, but on the other hand the building and mainte nance of these public ways, of which the bridges are so important a part, have for so long a time been continued by the municipalities that it is almost a be lief that there is no exemption from this municipal burden—the public, forget ting that these burdens are carried by these cities and towns for the public good, regard them as local obligations inseparably attached to and continu ously to be borne by the municipalities as an exclusive duty for the privilege of being a city or town, and whenever any attempt is made to shift the bur den from the unit of the town to the care of the county or State, then those individuals, towns and cities, which are more favored by nature in having a few or none of these bridges to care for. cry out against sharing any portion of the public expense so long assumed by the less favored communities. This con dition is simply the assertion of hu man nature itself. It is simply the ex pression of the collective selfishness of a municipality which is willing that some other municipality shall carry the who'e burden just as long as it is will ing to do so. We are all prone to this feeling and it is no virtue that we are keenly alive to its existence in others when our own localities ha.ve a large unit of this burden to bear. I suppose I should be just as aggressive against assuming this public burden if nature and circumstances had located my c ity so that we had r.o bridges as is the case of my friends who talk against this measure. I might have seen just as many imperfections in this proposed legislation as they, and if I knew any thing about constitutional law, or didn’t know anything about it, I might for the purpose of obstructing its passage im pressively pronounced the measure un constitutional: or if that didn't have any weight, and you had examined the decisions of our court and realized that this was a public measure, and, as such, the property of the State could be taxed to carry it on, if that tax was assessed equally according to a just value of the property taxed, then 1 might cry out in tones of warning that this measure would plunge the State in to a veritable financial whirlpool, whose bottom no plummet could sound, and in whose space all things palpable it: the State would be swallowed. If you would listen, 1 might talk about the bankruptcy of the State, or some o! tiie wealthiest municipalities In the State, but when you came down to the final analysis you would realize that 1 was speaking against a public meas ure because I wanted to save my mu nicipality from sharing a public duty; that I or my city, more favored in nat ural location, wanted to let the less fa vored community carry my share ot my city's share of the public burder and as much more as she would. We are all a part of the body politic in the town, a part of the town; in the ~f i-ui v »huu_, auu a.-s an tn* tergral part of the whole should assist in bearing public burdens, though wi may nftt derive immediate or direct benefits, because other parts of the town or Slat*; contribute to our condi lions of life, even though those benefit; arc remotely connected with their hap piness and comforts. In a town government no one woulc aa;nit the force of an argument thai one of its citizens should be exempt from his share of the municipal taxes because lie was so favorably* locatec that lie couid get water from a natur al spring, and thus did not require th» municipal water works; or that h him was unnecessary; there would bt other and greater advantages which lie did enjoy and for which he was undei obligations to the government in which he did live, and for which his neigh bors and citizens were contributing, al though they might bo ill less need ol them than he was. The very fact that such a man could enjoy in safety hi; property and privileges would be due to the strength and efficiency of the municipal. State and national govern ment— tli* n w hy should he be immune from bearing his share of the burden; that make that government locally 01 nationally an efficient government ir its entirety. In a slate government no one woulc seriously advance an argument that because a municipality -was so situat ed that it had no criminals, or paupers, or insane, it should not assist in car ing for these unfortunates in the state institutions; or because it was so un fortunate as to have no children in its midst that it should do nothing for the general education of the other children of the state; or because it was making such good roads within its own limits it would thus be exempt, from assisting in caring for other highways through out the state in which it was only mci dentally interested. If these arguments were valid then each little community could draw a circle around itself and exclude from its consideration any pub lic burden, and enjoy the full protection of the laws for those natural privileges which it alone had. Such selfishness either in the indi vidual or municipality is not recognized as consistent with public policy. What ever is for the benefit of the people of a state, the Legislature, which repre sents the people, has the power to reg ulate by reasonable laws, not repug nant to the constitution of the state or the United States. I say, without fear of refutation, that there is no objection in the consti tution of our State or nation to the as sumption by the State of the control and maintenance of bridges in the highways of the State, because they are the property of the State, whose care and maintenance lias heretofore been] delegated to the municipalities as a part of the State’s system of ways and streets. Surely the State has a right to care for its own as it desires. I go further anil assort that this pro posed legislation is a reasonable law, and that its regulations are for the benefit of the people of our State at large. It is reasonable because it is equita ble ar.d just, that our State should as sume the care of that part of its pub lie works called bridges—the most ex pensive part to construct and main tain of its public highways—which un der penalty must be erected and main tained safe, not for local travel, but for public travel. It takes from the shoulders of the municipality, in whose limits nature has placed brooks, streams, ponds and rivers, which must be spanned by bridges, the burden of maintaining those bridges safe for your travel and that of your neighbors, vis itors and friends, safe for the public, though possibly not needed by the mu nicipality itself, and places these bur dens upon the State, which represents tlie public, and asks you to contribute to this public benefit. It seems equitable ami just. This distribution of the load relieves^ the municipality and permits it. like yojr locality, to employ some of this money which it lias before used in paying for your shore of this public, expense. In erecting and paying for water plants, sewers and electric lights, and perhaps, m erecting public buildings and school houses. You may have had the privi lege of building and enjoying these lo cal utilities while we were using our funds in caring for your share of the public burden. It seems all the more reasonable and just to some of our municipalities be cause they have borne it. oh. so many years, without any assistance from the State, while other municipalities have had State aid in the construction of bridges in their midst and every time the State has giver this aid she recog nized her duty to assist in caring for these expensive parts of her highways.

Will Hereafter Make All Repairs to Factory. Mayor Knight and R. H. Gardiner recently called upon Pres. Jones of tne Commonwealth Shoe Heather Co., in the interests of the Gardiner Board of Trade, in reference to the company as suming the expense of the outside re pairs of the Gardiner factory. The company had previously assumed the inside repairs. Mr. Jones could not give them a decided answer at that time but a telegram received yester day by Mr. Knight from Mr. Gardiner states that the company has accepted the proposition. This fact will be a great help to the Gardiner Board of Trade, as In the past the item for re pairs has been a large one and was quite a burden to the board. The Commonwealth Co. has relieved the board of considerable expense that it might be put to under the contract and the fact should be greatly appre ciated by the citizens of Gardiner. Drowntail Moth Nests Are Plenty. Wilbur S. Libby brought in a half bushel basket full of brown-tail moth nests to Mr. Reynolds Wednesday. The nests were gathered in the neighbor hood of Libby hill and that vicinity is evidently badly overrun. There were over 25 dozen nests in the lot. The larger part of the nests were gathered from apple trees but several were tak en from oak and maple. Over 75 nests were gathered in one orchard and if the nests had not been promptly at tended to would have badly ravaged that neighborhood in another season. Luring the hunt of last year that part of the city was overlooked and the results are now being seen.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discourages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerful ness soon disappear when the kidneys are out of order or dis eased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncom mon for a child to be liorn afflicted with weak kidneys. If the child urinatestoooften. if the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wet ting, depend upon it, the cause of the diffi culty is kidney trouble, and the first step" should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made miser able with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.

MAINE LEGISLATURE. (Continued from Pago Two.) general legislation. Should we not take that step rather than continue this species of class legislation which forces those municipalities which have bridges to continue in their care and maintenance, and aid those which arc hereafter constructed, thus carrying the whole public burden for their lo cality and sharing for other commun ities? The regulation proposed by the law seems reasonable in fixing a time when the State is to take over these public structures which are then built, and assume their erection, under cer tain regulations, of those hereafter con Btrcted. It does not give the privilege to any community, if such a one ex isted in the State, to now rush ahead and start the construction of a bridge before July 1, next, and then turn it over to the State for completion. It works an apparent hardship upon those communities which have in good faith commenced such work, but to those it simply says, every completed bridge in your community we will take over and those which arc in the process of construction, when completed. We are obliged in order to get the funds, to accomplish this great work to make some limitations and cause some ap parent hardships. But no law was ever enacted -which rested upon all persons or communities alike. There will al ways be some apparent inequalities of benefits, but in this, as in others, the purpose has been to secure the great est good for the greatest number, if this law assumed the future building cf .ill bridges, now under construction, there might be no funds left for the IIIUOC i;ai r, imkj iiianii* iiu:u,r; bridges we take over. In tills respect the reflations of the law pee-n to me to be reasonable. It certainly does not seem repugnant to the constitution of the State or of the United States in making this condition precedent to tie care and maintenance of the bridge.-:. This t il! nas li-fn atta'k- d lieeause It is not spec ific enou'rh in its r. filia tions and details. Tliero can be no question but this measure, if enacted as a law, will accomplish one- thing and that is the assunift on by the State of the control and maintenance of all bri Igcs in this Stale over 10 feet in length. If there is any doubt over this point. then the opponents to the meas ure would not be so strenuous in their objection to the law. And this is the very fiat of the measure its-if. and if it is specific enough to accomplish that object, it certainly will accomplish 111 main object of the law. It Is again attacked because it carri- s with it a friction of :i mill tax to mu have got to spend sometime in a eampaign of education before* you can make them believe it. You have got t i I somebody around t*» Pain th at that they are not capable of local self government and the management of tin ir own affairs, before you take these things out of their hands; you wiil have- to send mv brother II to take them away from you or take iln-ir title and management away from you, you must keep on paying your notes and bonds and besides that you must tax yourselves to build bridges in Portland and to build bridges every where in the State of Maine? Again, Mr. President. I object to the bill on principle because it seems to tne unwise to incur obligations tliat tire to be met within the next year, with out providing for them by appropriu lion. AW are l sudden ilefeets. Section JO provides that the State shall re-in,huts for damages caused hy injurb-s.

The county commis sioners are required to build the bridge They cannot collect of the Slate a cell until the bridge is done. Now where tire the munty commis sioners going to get the money to build iho bridge." They are authorized to borrow money for purposes of the county, but they are not authoi ized by any law to borrow for the purpose of the State, and this is for a purpose of the State. Where are the county com-'' niissioners to get the money to build these bridges? It is true that they can make con ic;; ts undoubtedly with bridge build ing eonii allies and corporations to build (Continued on l’age Five.) BASEBALL. Belli tiie Boston Teams Begin Repiar Practice.

MAINE LEGISLATURE. (Continued from rage Four.) those bridges, and wait until the bridge j.., done and until nil legal formalities are complied with: and take their mon ey when it comes from the State. Hut small contractors living in the Slate cannot do that. Mr. President. I do not say because it is not true of course that hill was dictated by bridge building corpora tions; but, if bridge "building corpora tions has made a bill and introduced it here, it would have been made right •.long these lines. AVhen Tanner be came commissioner of pensions we wer troubled by an embarrassing surpius, he was inclined to be liberal; in the mater of Tensions, and when he took charge of the pension department he made a remark which was widely circulated at the time. He said, in go ing into the pension department, “Now, Col help the surplus.'* If this bill passes, Sir. President, the same fervent prayer may he uttered with reference to any surplus that the State of Maine or its taxpayers may have. Mr. HESELTOX: Mr. President: Very briefly, in reply to some of the suggestions made by the senator from Hancock, who has so eloquently spok en upon this question and raised all of tiie prejudices that might possibly be aroused in the minds of any senator in regard t« the feasibility or practica bility of this measure which simply says that the State of Maine shall pay far its own public works and their miungena lit—not that the State of Maine shall reach into any municipality and take therefrom anything which, in its power as a municipality, it has a right to govern or control—but no man knew the dclic.it touch with which he could excite prejudice in these matters on that question more than my- friend, the "huhtor from Hancock, able attor r. y and lawyer that he is. Nov.-, as to the first objection which in- state.- here that we have not sufli ih-iit information in regard to this groat is simply put in here for the purpose of defeating tin' measure. Ttie Republican party. f whi h my friend is an aide cxpnmnl i:-l a I lievtr iii its princi ples ttn.1 i!octline- has said: We believe m the principle of the State caring for its public utilities. Hav we sufficient information? We have accurate information as to all bridges r> ore than 50 feet in length. We have, substantially accurate informa tion ii: regard to bridges from 50 to 40 feet in length, sufficient for us to con sider. Before this le gislature, then, is rnougit information of the cost for us to assume the responsibility, if it is our duty to assunv that responsibility. The senator asks: IIow much would it cost to carry on the repairs of these hr! ip and in answer names the Ag ue f.uo.fNjO. v. iii' h it cost the munici palities in the rotate of Maine one year V.". i paid f that expenditure? The ir.lie: ipality. What did it pay it for? For a public institution. .Vow. if you. today, put upon the State th" raising of that sum by taxa tion. who pays th tax? The municipality.—its fair anrl equi table part, and th city or town of I Mr li ::l or its part, which today it is not paying. lie says it violates tile rules of local self-government. How? Does it violate the rules of 1 w.il self-government for the State f Maine to murage its own puhiic utilities? Do we say that we will go down into liar Harbor, or into tile e ity of I’.u tlai: 1. and take their schools and manage lie in'. No. It simply ys: We will take the bridges which are public works, belong ing i the State which we have obliged you to cany these many years, and tare for them ourselves, distributing the cost of their rare equally among the municipalities of this State, by taxation. !t is unfair, is his third proposition, t ii ivo tin si: towns, which have huilt their bridges, and. by promisory notes, perhaps, paid part of their obligations, to pew pay those notes anrl to assist in building and earing for the bridges in their loeuliti Why. senators, is it unfair to assume a public burden, and have it carried by the State? Is it unfair to tlic.se towns that in the tut lire, they are relieved from all the expenses of earing lor these bridges? i* (ii H ai iiiih ia\v, ye at this time regarded as prnpt r subjects for general State support. As the bill stands it fails to give expression to that principle of public policy which has been involved. There are ponding certain amendments. The exact effect of those amendments I am unable to understand because I j have not been in touch with the draft- ins of the bill or the preparation of the amendments. It may be that, when they have been adopted, or discussed. that they will give-expression to the principle so that the Senate may then feel that it can be adopted. I oppose the indefinite postponement of the bill pending the adoption of these ami ndments, because it is not possible to now determine the merit of the measure we shall have before us. when they have been disposed of. The yeas and nays were called for and ordered. A vote being taken upon the motion of Senator Deasy of Hancock that the bill be indefinitely postponed. Those voting yea w- re Messrs. Curtis, I)easy, Eaton, Foss, llareelon, Mills, Page, Philoon. Proctor, Putnam, Rice, Sta ples Stearns, T-irtre, Wyman. (15.)

February II! was an extremely un it;, ky day for the Portland boomers and March 13 will prove unluckier still for them. “Drain explosions" and “brain stnims" on the part of District Attor ney Jerome now form the most excit iiik features of the Thaw trial. How fast the world moves. Governor Swettenham has resigned hut witti most people Swettenham is as com pletely forgotten as are Cassie Chad wick. jin jitsu and reformed spelling. 1 Each day the feeling grows that Augusta will take its place back in the Republican column next Monday. That is where it belongs and it only remains for the Republican voters to go to the polls. The ticket is one to command the united support of the party .and the best interests of the citv demand a Republican administra tion of its affairs. This is a Republi can year and Augusta will be in line. Let every individual Republican plan to do liis duty on election day. tlieir municipal elections last Monday the total IH'inncratic vote was !>S79 ami tile total Itepublii all vote was 886.1. si IVmoeratic majority of 14. This counts ttie votes east for the Citizens candi date in Saco as Democratic votes. In 1906 the Democratic vote in these same 11 titles was S&l- and the Republican vote was SuS6, a Democratic majority of .16. That is, the Democratic ma jority of a year ago in these cities was cut down last Monday from 716 to 14. In view of these figures the Democrats are very welcome to all the consolation they can get out of last Monday’s elec tions. There will be still less con solation for them when Augusta's vote is counted next Monday afternoon. The reports of the twenty or thirty million Russian peasants suffering from starvation having been confirmed, and the American Ambassador to Rus sia having cabled to the State Depart ment that the Russian Red Cross is carrying on relief measures and will gladly receive and administer outside contributions, the executive committee of the American Red Cross respectfully requests fhat its branches make known their willingness to receive contribu tions for the relief of the starving mil lions.

In a circular containing pictures of two state houses, both being made of soft stone which can be secured at those points at about one-fourth the expense of dressed granite in Maine and one of which has the interior con struction which is found in most build ings in the extreme South, is included an alleged extract from the Rockland Courier-Gazette which is reproduced in such a manner as to give the impres sion that it was an editorial utterance. If it had been properly credited us an extract from correspondence published in the news columns of that paper and had shown that it expressed not the opinion of the paper but merely the sentiment of the Augusta corespondent (who, we understand, is a young man whose home is in Portland) no fair criticism could have been made upon it. As a matter of fact, it was not so cred ited but was reproduced as though it were an expression of the editorial sentiment of the Courier-Gazette. This is “sharp practice.” Now, the Courier-Gazette has spoken editorially upon this question of capital removal since the correspondence so quoted appeared in its columns, and we submit in all fairness and as a matter of common decency that, in undertak ing to put the Courier-Gazette on rec ord on this question of capital removal it should have been quoted solely from its expression of editorial opinion, or if otherwise quoted from its news col umns the public should have been ad vised of the fact in order that it might have been able to give the quotation the weight to which it was fairly enti tled, and no more. As we have said, the Rockland Courier-Gazette has spoken editorially upon this matter and has spoken to the point and emphatically. In order that tnere may be no further attempt to mislead and deceive the public regard ing its position, we quote the following from the editorial in question: “THE CHIEF ARGUMENT FOR REMOVAL. NAMELY. AUGUSTAS FOR VISITORS. SEEMS LIKELY TO RE FULLY MET BY THE AROUSED BUSINESS MEN OF THAT CITY. WE DO NOT THINK THERE IS THE LEAST PERIL THREATENING HER INTERESTS. WE ARE CONVINCED, SPEAKING FOR THIS EASTERN SECTION OF THE STATE, THAT PUT TO A VOTE OUR PEOPLE WOULD DECLARE AGAINST RE MOVAL IN A PROPORTION OF FIFTY TO ONE. WE DO NOT KNOW HOW THIS WOULD HOLD THROUGHOUT THE STATE. BUT WE FANCY IN SOMETHING OF THE SAME OVERWHELMING RATIO."___ A Sliding Scale of Cost. The agility with which the Portland Capital boomers have been sliding down hill n their estimates of the cost of a new Capitol shows the desperate straits to which the advocates of this uncalled for. unnecessary and extrava gant proposition have been reduced. At the outset the leading and best known architect of that city was of the opinion that a suitable State House could be erected for about $3,000,000. He thought, however, that if the State was to build at all it should build for .10 years to come and that building in this way the construction of a proper State House would call for consider ably more money. The Portland boomers, however, thought that it would not be advisable to put these plain facts before the public at a hear ing. They therefore did not call the architect to testify before the com mittee but the question of price wan put up to the committee by ex-Mayor Randall who thought that a suitable State House could be built for “about two millions.” Now. they profess to believe that they can build a very fine new eapitol for somewhere around a million dollars which is about what their new court house will cost them when it is finally completed. To assist in their scheme of building an unnecessary State House they have their city government vote $500,000 of the city's money with a contemplated increase in the same way to $750,000. not a single penny of which, in the judgement of some of the best lawyers of Maine, could be legally applied to the purpose t for which it was voted. It is a significant fact that in all the controversy over this matter no great lawyer of Maine has attempted to controvert the legal propositions laid down by Mr. Heath at the second hear ing. showing by the decisions of the courts that the municipal government of Portland has no legal power to vote city money for this purpose. AVe do not think for a moment that the people of Maine will ever consider that the capital of their State is a matter of barter or sale or that it should ever be put up at auction. Even if they were disposed to take this sordid view of the matter, they would first of all demand that the purchase price be paid in other than counterfeit money. Tlte fact must never be lost sight of that the scheme of the Portland boom ers Involves not merely the construc tion of a new eapitol in their city, hut also the abandonment of the present one which in the opinion of good judges could not be reproduc'd for a million dollars. This State House is in an excellent state of repair and will take care of the needs of the State for years to come. It has a lot of 3t acres, which is conceded to be one of the most beautiful capitol sites in the whole country. “Money Talks.” “Money talks!” shouts a Portland contemporary as the clinching “argu ment" why the people of Maine should gratify the desire of that city to be come the capital of the State. Earlier in the session the Portland war cry' was “Vittles! vittles! vittles!” but the pledge of adequate hotel accommoda tions and reasonable rates, given by Augusta gentlemen, whose good faith and w hose ability to make good their pledge no Portlander ventures to question, has caused that war cry to cease so that not even its echoes are longer heard. Instead comes the blat and boast of the rich commercial metropolis that it proposes to buy the seat of government as a business in vestment. Money talks and in this case its voice is foul uith insult to the intelligence and the civic honesty of the people of this great ■State. “I want the capital," cries Portland, “and I am going to bribe the State into letting me have it. 1 need it as an attraction for summer visitors and to advance my commercial prestige. I have a big lobby at work for me and have raised a big fund lor that lobby to use. Money talks! Never mind the matter of central location and the convenience of the greater number of the people of the State. Never mind that the center of population is moving eastward. Never mind the lesson of other states. Never mind the traditions involved. Never mind that the hotel argument which started the agitation has beer, fully answered bv Augusta and is now lost sight of. Never mind the protests and remonstrances which nave routed like an avalanche upon the Legislatuie front every section of the State. Never mind the hospitals, the schools, the roads, the feeble minded, the blind and the other worthy causes which would suffer the loss of the paltry Vitu.uOO which I ask of the taxpayers as a starter toward supple menting my munifleient gift. Never mind if the bribe money which I offer is counterfeit—if the people are not to be folded with that, 1 have a pocket full of good money which I am willing and anxious to use in this game. It is a business investment for me, and money talks!” Yes, Portland’s money talks, but it would be much better for Portland's cause if its money were not shouting quite so vociferously at the present time. Maine and the Jamestown Exposition. Now Hampshire will reproduce tile historic old Langdon House on the grounds of the Jamestown exposition, it was here that President George Washington was once entertained by Governor Langdon. How much more attractive would be the reproduction of the home of the Poet Longfellow re presenting the State of Maine. Such a building would be one of the "show places" of the exposition. It would at tract thousand of visitors. It would, in fact, be a mecca for all lovers of the greatest and most popular of our American Poets. The fact that all the other New England States are in iK- represemeu at inis great ex position. lias presented a very cogent reason why Maine should not lag be hind the procession, even if there were not strong business reasons why our State should secure the very valuable advertising that would come from such a unique and interesting representation there as has been suggested. It is a business proposition, and should be considered as such. To th* average citizen of the republic tne old Lungdon house carries little of in terest or suggestion. Probably not one in a hundred have ever even heard of it. It is vastly different, however, with the historic home of Longfellow. Everyone who has had even the rudi ments of an education knows of the great American who was not only uni versally popular with his own country men. but whose works have been trans lated into almost every language, and who enjoys tiie distinction of being the only person, outside the British Empire to be accorded a place of honor in Westminster Abbey. A reproduction of the Maine home of this great man whose life and works. have reflected so much glory upon his State and nation, could scarcely fail to be a credit to our State and to .secure t'or it a publicity that would be of unquestioned business advantage. Unquestionably New Hampshire will improve the opportunity to emphasize the attractiveness of her summer resorts, and Maine should do the same. The fact should not be lost sight of that the resorts fo Colorado are making every effort and spending considerable money in the endeavor to divert the tide of summer travel from New Kngland. At the present time Maine is getting a large summer pa tronage from the South, and no effort should be spared to hold and increase this business which is bringing many thousands of dollars into our State, and which is, as yet. in the very infancy of its development. Now that the Texas legislature has exonerated Senator Bailey, a Missouri j piper wants to know who will exmie i ate me Texas legislature. t Think of It. Think of it. This city asks the State f. contribute but $540,000 toward a building.—Portland Advertiser. Yes, think of it. Only the trifling sum of $540,000! That is, “only" that for a starter. That would dig the basement and then there would be “only” a mil lion or two for the first story. Think of it* How easy it would be for the tax payers of Maine to contribute this little sum toward beautifying Portland and adding to its commercial prestige. Only half a million for a beginning. And h >w pleased Portland would be to get this .State aid. That city frankly ad mits that it wants the capital as a business investment. The people of Maine and the Legislature of Maine were never before insulted by such audacious proposition ns Portland ad vances. The .Stale capital at auction! A $15,000 lobby working at Augusta In behalf of this Portland scheme! And the State asked to contribute but $540, 000—as a starter! Yes, let the people of Maine think of it. Not for many years has there been a resignation from the Senate so no table as that Senator Spooner of Wis consin. Perhaps the last was that of Senator Edmunds of Vermont in 1801. The distinguished Vermont statesman at his retirement had gained a position second to none as a leader ami con miuu tuiiai 11Iiui v_, for very mueh the same reasons which Mr. Spooner gives the public. Mr. Ed munds could have still been in the Senate had lie wished to remain there, for he is yet alive and younger than tlie two Alabama senators, Morgan and Pettus. Many have wished most earnestly that the Vermonter could have remained in public life at least a decade longer. The Portland Express cartoonist ap pears to understand tlie situation.

Oh! the King of the Winds isf clad in mail; A conqueror bold is lie! The bride he wins is a lily paie. And lily pure is she.

Out of the 30 or 40 persons who visited the “haunted” house on Centra! street in Milliuocket Wednesday night of last week and tried to find the cause of the mysterious noises that have been alleged to frighten the tenants of the building for several weeks and caused the removal of at least one family, three at least have been summoned to appear in court in Bangor on Monday in answer to a charge of trespass. This move on the part of the owner of the building came as a big surprise to the investigators who supposed that they were doing him a favor, insomuch as it lias been currently reported that the owner would look with favor upon company if in a personal investigation of the haunted rooms, should he find such u tiling necessary. Such is not the case, however. The owner appears to be very angry because of the at tempt to investigate the mystery, and report has it that he asserts that the investigators will be visited with the most extreme penalty the law provides. He feels fully confident to lay all spooks likely to visit his house, and wants no outside aid. Miss Grace Thayer of South Paris enjoys tlie unique distinction of being the only woman undertaker in Maine. She is the only undertaker in South Paris and many of the surrounding towns call on her for assistance. “I have been in this business seven years," said Miss Thayer, and like it very much. When my father died I carried on the business and have never regretted the course I took. I had been with him a number of times as assistant and had always liked the work. After his death I studied in Boston and New York, and I think I got my best help at a private morgue in Boston. I have never been at all nervous about the nature of my work, and tlie only times when it is at all hard is when I am called to some of my friends.” Miss Thayer is a quiet young woman, whose personality is of tlie kind to inspire confidence in all who seek her help in times of trouble and death. She is well known and a great favorite with the undertakers of the State, who are proud of this South Paris girl, who has ventured to depart from the conventional lines of business prescribed for young women. Failing in their cherished ambitions to celebrate 70 years of married life, the death of George Ripley, Paris, Me., breaks a most unusual history of a Maine couple, who had celebrated their golden and 60th wedding anniversa ries. They were remarkable octogen arians. Mr. Ripley was born Feb. 11, 1817. making him 90 years of age and his wife is 83. He was the youngest of 13 children of Captain Variali Rip ley and his life has been eventful and varied. He has been a prosperous farmer, always living on the place where they now reside. At the age of 15 he learned the blacksmith trade of liis brother and later added a black smith shop to his present home. I-wry spring and fall he averaged to shoe from 30 to 40 yoke of cattle, hammering out every shoe and nail himself and doing the work evenings. Eleven children have been born to this happy union, four of whom are living. Two sons, William and George, enlisted in the Civil War. The former was killed by a bursting shell at i nancellorsville; tin- latter is well known at .North Paris. In his latter years Mr. Ripley made many baskets, and his work is distributed all over the United States: many specimens of his handiwork have gone to California. Massachusetts. .New Jersey. Rhode Island. Connecticut and the Central States. In June, 1X76, Mr. and Mrs. ttiploy celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary, which was attended by most of the older townspeople. About lJa friends assisted in the observance of the golden wedding, and five years ago the Both anniversary was held. VOICES OF THE PRESS. Old Home Week in Boston.

Another thing that should be laid aside is the question of locality. This is a question which concerns the State of Maine and the interests of the Univer sity of Maine as a child of the State, as a ward of the State, and any con clusion that we may reach ought to he reached with the same desire to fur ther the interests of the State and of the university as a child of the State irrespective of the fact whether we come from ’Washington or Aroostook or from York. Again any political con sideration may properly be laid aside. Any conclusion we reach, should be reached in dependently of any consid eration affecting our own personal or political ambitions; and any man who has approached you or written to you and has appealed to you solely on the ground of what he conceives to be your political interest lias done about the ing you iinine abandoned, i want to say a word hc fore Ruing farther upon the question of the time when the abandonment ol the degree should be made. We An the time at the commencement >f this year. In case the degree should b, ! these emus s as at present. Now I have not pre sumed to say just what would be the policy of the institution in regard to any particular course if the A It., de gree was removed. 1 have taken pities to figure this opt merely to establish for my own satisfaction what would be the probable saving under what might be expected to be the polit y of the institution provided the A. It. de gree were omitted. We have not pi sumed to reeommend in any depa;t mont that any study should be definite ly omitted: we have simply reeor recomiiieinled that only tla se murs's be retained whi'h would naturally be given if 1bea«e through the beneficence of pri vate individuals, mast of them outside of the State, without expense to the State, the same courses leading to the same degree which the State is main taining at the university. It is unfair, further, in the matter of competition. It has been said that the other colleges have more students than they can han dle. T don't think that is true. Kithor the courses itt the University of Maine sometime will draw considerably from the B. A. students at the other colleges or they will not. if they ever do draw any very large number of students who would otherwise go to the other col leges. then the competition will become important. If they do not, then the ex pense in my opinion will never justify itself at the University. And there is another respect in which the Univer sity is competing with the other col leges and that is in the matter of the salaries of the professors. I am not aiguing for cutting down the salaries of anybody. If there is any class of peopie except tiie ministers that are under-paid, it is the teachers. 1 do say that in my opinion it is improper for the .State to consider the raising of the salaries f the professors who are now getting $1M(1 at the University for teaching the same things for which professors sit Bates and Colby are get ting $1500 tend $11100. while at the same time the State is obliging one-third of i lie- teachers in the- common schools teach foi $200 a year «>r less. I think there should lie a proper sense of pro portion in this matter. i come now to the advisability of the continuance of the degree from the point of view of the University Itself, and the first question that presents itself is ns to the policy advocated by the president of the University. And here I want to say a personal word in regard to the distinguished president of the University of Maine. I differ with him because I think it is my duty as a citizen of the State, but he and I have differed as gentlemen differ and as college men differ. His treatment of me has been in every respect gentle manly and courteous and I want to say that I appreciate it, and I trust that I may not fail on my part in return. Now, no one has presumed to suggest any other policy in regard to the Uni versity itself than that advocated by tiie president, and the reason to my mind is this, that It is absolutely neces sary for the welfare in the case of the University itself that it should have in all Its enterprises the cordial assent and support of the average sentiment of the citizens of the State. If any ideal which the president may have of its future or if its functions is subscrib ed to and is in accordance with the sentiment of the people of the State, then there can be no reason for anyone to presume to say that the judgment of the president should not be final. S If it appears to us after sincere and ful consideration that the Ideals of 1 th pit sident and of his associates with ji 'gaid to the future and the scope of 1 the work of the University will not re stilly and scope of the Univer sity. if conducted along all the lines w hich are advocated, it is not going to receive. I doubt if it does receive now the cordial assent of the majority of the Slate. I think the policy should not lie allowed to extend beyond the point where it does no-t rcci ive the cordial sym pathy of the people in general. I am going to presume to say that the retention of the A. B. course at tha uni* versity is not for the best interests of the university because too much atten tion lias been paid to them to the exclu sion of ttie other departments. A com parison of the number of courses given in IsftS, the lust year in which the A. B. d gree was istablished. a comparison of 1 the two years, 1S9S and I'M. shows that Un increase in courses in the depart ments which are particularly adapted to the A. B. students has been very much greater than has been the increase In tha departments which particularly concerned j the otiier work of the university where i the very large per cent, of the students are enrolled. It is* interesting then to compare the number of courses given In the departments particularly studied by the A. B. students at the university, anil the other colleges, and also at Harvard University, because I suppose for dis tinctively A. B. work perhaps Harvard ■would be the standard in New England: _ _ c is o c i- C- O l„itiu .23 12 13 t ;ri'i my judgment the university has laid too much stress upon those particular courses. Now.

B. work. Now I am going to venture the as sertion that it is unfair to the univer sity to permit the other three colleges to compete with the university in ask ing aid of the Suite, if we retain the A. li. degree at tile university we have got sometime or other to come to the position where the other collcye J. if they do come and ask for maintenai e or for assistance, will have to receive it. I do not think tiny should b al lowed to do that, at any rate, as long as the policy7 continues to be what it lias been; but if this policy is adopted and that is sanctioned by this Legisla ture, i see no way of preventing the other colleges from coining here some time if they choose. Another reason why the retention of these courses is not for the best interests of the uni versity is in regard to the question of the actual value of the courses them selves. The A. C. courses at present and in the future will not be the equal of those of tile other colleges. From the nature of things where you have C.'.T students in the university and -0 of them in distinctively A. it. courses. where you nave as is me case, mans the i-ourscs taken by A. B. students with an attendance of one or two in the course where you have a small number in a class and where the great number at the university tire pursuing other studies, you cannot have tin same enthusiasm for class work that you can at a college where the whole purpose of the whole institution is along the same line. The average spirit of the university is properly along the line of the applied sciences and the applied arts, and not along the line of the classical studies and the liberal arts, and the quality of instruc tion suffers in the A. Jl. course for that very reason. I cannot sec how .tile discontinuance of the A. I?, degree would impair the standing of the university. As I have said there are five colleges. One of them is the college of the arts and sciences. The discontinuance of the degree would take the arts out of that college and leave it the college of science. It would not change the name. The fact is that almost all of the stu dents who are under-graduates except a very small percentage arc engaged in the pursuit of. technical studies. I cannot see how the abandonment of the 11. A. degree is going to injure ihe standing of the gradual's of the tech nical school. I am going to say that we have got to make a choice in this matter. We cannot give appropriations enough now or in the future to give everything that cun he given at the University of Maine and to give to everybody and all the departments all the equipment that they ought to have. I am on the majority report because I believe that we have got to choose, and that all the money we may reasonably expect to get is needed for the work in agriculture and ia the other depart ments in which almost all the students are engaged. I want to call attention to some of the nods of the depart ment. 1 have been through the reports. This is the increased annual expendi ture that I am figuring here. 1’or the library. $7100; for mechanical engin eering, at least $4000; for electrical en gineering. $.7000; for civil engineering. $4000; chemistry. $1,100; biology. $.1000; agriculture, $4000. Those are figures that represent what may be regarded as in ds for increase 1 annual expendi iun X,,w. which its better, as.suming that we cannot have both, for a stu dent in the colleen of technology or civil cimiucciing or Ivctricnrl engineer ing. or in agrlhdtuic, to have very thing that can reasonably be given to him in the way of equipment in hi own department—that, he should have that or that lie should be able to say after he goes out that the A. it. rtegret was given at liis institution? -\ow the question is. if this is net good business proposition, whether if the expense there tines not justify it s df \ve are under obligations to main tain the A. degree. 1 do 1K,t see that tv art* under any obligation sutli cientiy binding wh-tht r we think it is useful or returns value received for tlm expenditure or not. I submit that it js a proposition that if the degree is ‘■'■or to tie diseontinued it ought t be discontinued now. It lias been given since 1 s9S. that was the first y. nr it was given. Since that time l'7 hnv. lee* iced the degree rtf It.

The Senate Wednesday morning? kill ed !hc l.ionigan ’.ridge bill l.\ voting IS to 1 to indeiinitely postpone the meas ure and the proposed amendments thereto. The vote was taken after an extended debate in which Senator Heseiton ably supported the measure and Senators Deasy and Parkhurst op posed. Senator Deas. y clinched his victory by moving to reconsider the v°te whereby the Senate voted to in definitely postpone the bill and urging that every senator who had voted in favor of indefinite postponement would vote against reconsideration. This was also a yea and nay vote and the divi sion was as before. The Senate passed the Merrill resolve to abrogate and annuli the liflii amendment to the constitution to be en grossed. This places resubmission the nearest to the people that it has ever been since the amendment was attacli to the constitution. The committee- on inland fisheries and game reported favorably on the bill to establish a fish hatchery in the county ef Somerset.

This solution of the perplexing >r more than.$l**. 1 Martin of Hangor introduced a bill lUat w ill l>c of great interest to at torneys of (lie State. It provides that hereafter in all criminal trials in any court or before any justice of the peace 111 till' State of Maine every respondent or party on tri.at shall have the right to deliver the final closing argument. The interesting case of OeForesit Keyes of Oneonta, N. Y.. and of Herbert I*. Kimball of Northboro, Mass., who came into Maine several years ago and bought tax deeds of wild lands, couldn't find the lands and then asked for reimbursement front the State, were again given hear ing before the committee on judiciary Wednesday afternoon. The case of Mr. Keyes was the one discussed. Ex-Attor n-y General G. M. Seiders of Portland and Charles J. Staples of the law firm of Staples, Noonan Staples of Buffalo, N. Y., appeared for Mr. Keyes, and As sistant Attorney General W. C. Phtl hrook of Waterville appeared for the State. Attorney Seiders, in opening the ease, reviewed it at some length and pointed out that as a result of the hearing be fore the 72d Legislature the State was getting better descriptions of tlie wold land holdings, by getting those better descriptions the revenues had been in creased and the people had been edu 1 eated up to real situation. PeForest Keyes, the petitioner in tlio ease, was present and was examined by his attorney in direct and later cross-ex amined bv Mr. Philbrook. Th edireet ex amination tended to show that Mr. Keyes came to Maine and in good faith bought wild lands at a tax sale, and that he i Was not warned that the title's might not be safe. Tin' cross-examination was extremely short, but in the course of It the wit ness admitted that be came to Main-’ expecting to buy tax titled to land and that the owners would later redeem tlieir holdnigs, paying the witness 20 per cent, interest, so that he did not expect to bus land at all. Mr. Philbrook likened this to having stock on a margin, sa>*ing that it closcl\r approached the dealings of r man in a bucket shop. Mr. Philbrook made a short argumen i NAMED BY THE PEOPLE A Story Everyone Should Read True and Full of Human Interest Haii 1' ;i century ago. Rev. Fr. John O'liri.-n of I.mvi-ll. Mass., through overwork and exposure, became seriously run down. A void and stub born cough and lung trouble threaten ed his life. An eminent specialist gave Father John, as he was fondly called a prescription to cure the cold' and remove the lung trouble as well ns to build up and strengthen the body. The clergyman began to improve t once, the cough disappeared and his lungs healed. It collected his diges tion. made new tissue and Father John was soon restored to his former health and strength. Fathi r John recommended the medi cine t i liis parishioners and friends, and because of its mints it became the family remedy in thousands of lionus, and In ante known as “Father joint's Medicine,” having; been so named by the people, anil was adver tised, ail with the approval of Father John. It will cure all throat and lung trou bles. prevent Pneumonia and t’eti suinplion and make flesh anti strength if taken faithfully, it is not a patent medicine ami does not contain alcohol or poisonous drugs. Read guarantee which follows: $25,000.00 Guarantee Tins sum of money,id,000.00, will be given to anij cha ritahle institution if it can he shown that the story of Father John's Medicine is not true in every particular and then submitted to the committee the stirugraphic report of the hearing of 1905 and waived the privilege of calling witnesses. The attorneys for Mr. Keyes objected to this unless they were allow ed to show by evidence that Slat" Treas urer Oramnndel Smith did not warn flv petitioner, according to statements that he had made to Mr. Solders some time after the matter was first taken up. This was to meet that portion of the steno graphic report which rets forth Mr. Smtih's and Mr. WLswcU’s testimony to the effect that they did warn Mr. Keyes. This was permitted and Mr. Senders, in the roli> of witness, stated to the com mittee that Mr. Smith had remarked to him, in answer to questions, that he had not warned Mr. Keyes because he did not consider it his duty. Mr. Staples, attorney for Mr. Keyes, made the closing argument. During his remarks lie paid particular attention to tic argument of Mr. Philbrook, answer ing that in tlm main. However, he did rite authorities from several states in support of his theory that his client ought to he reimbursed. The committee on railroads and cx ptesses had a lively time with the Dill to eoiopeil the sale of transferable two rent mileage on the Washington Coun ty railroad. This matter litis been con tinued several times and when it final ly eatne up for hearing Wednesday the Washington county delegation was on hand ready to boom it. tleorg- M. Hanson of Calais opened the ease for the proponents of the measure, pointing out that the people of Washington county raised $500.1100 and put it into the project, only to have the property sold out from under them to the Maine Central. Ho declared that they now ask that the Maine Cen tra! give them the privilege of riding on their own railroad for two cents per mile. Win n he had finished Attorney Seth M. Carter for the Maine Central, asked him a few questions. The ques tions and answers were both a fill! personal, after the* first few minutes and it wasn’t long before Mr. Hanson had accused the Maine Central of fail ing to keep its books so that any ink ling could be bad of the actual earnings of the Washington County Road. Senator Wyman of Washington,. Representative Dike of Ka si port and Representative Pi aeoek of Rubee each ;ii i »'i i nr Mill. S‘ th M. Carter of Lewiston, attorney of the Maine Central. opposed the hill, claiming that his client should have the right of living the price of mih age on the Washington County ltoad at what they considered it fair rate, as shout by the earnings. He questioned the constitutionality of the bill and read passages from decisions of the supreme judicial court to support his position. Another matter which wits viewed as routine, in that there was little oppo sition anticipated, also developed an in teresting feature. This was the aer incorporating the Portland and Hum ford Falls Railroad giving it the right to build from Poland to Portland. George J>. Risbee of Rumfoi i halls, iri placing the hill before the committee, stated that the proposed road was to be built with the intention of making it a part of a trunk line be tween Portland ami Quebec. Mr. Risbee submitted a now draft of the bill, and at th request of Mr. Car ter w ho was looking after the interests of the Maine Central Railroad, the ac tion of the committee on the matter was defern d one week until In could famiharis.e himself with the provisions of the new hill. The committee on judiciary, in addi tion to Hearing the lleKorest Keyes ease, also heard the proponents and re monstrants of the bill to transfer the purchasing of supplies for tin- jails from the hands of the comity commis sioners to the sh* riffs. Janlge Ge.*rge c. Wing >f Auburn opened the ease for the proponents very briefly and then tntr iltiei d .-In iff 1». K. Hastings of Au burn. Sheriff Hastings' in the course of his remarks presented several letters v r’ten l>v sheriffs of several of the counties, urging that the law be hanged.

A. 11. Xealey of Lewiston, for a num ber of years a member of the county commissioners of Androscoggin coun ty, opposed tiie passage of the bill, on tiie ground that the persont plan had been found to be* tiie most economical.

Representatives Burleigh and Little field had a hand In getting the ap proval of the House Saturday to an appropriation of Jlla.OOO f >r a survey of the White Mountains. 111111 a view to having a forest reserve tin re. for the protection of the watershed that would be of benefit to several New Kngland states.

Speaker t'.inmm was op posing it bitterly but the it -m went through on the Agricultural Appro priation bill, much to the disgust of the Middle Western Republicans who hare no extensive forests and do not care to help New England protect h is. The action in the House means that eventually an appropriation will he made to purchase extensive tracts of land in the White Mountains, which will result in the conservation of waters in the Merrininc. and Connecti cut Rivers and also in some rivers in which Maine is Interested on the Western border. The Southerners are Interested in a like project in the Ap palachian Mountains, covering three or four states. The Maine members have been in strumental in having the pension agencies restored to the Pension ap propriation Bill. Senator Hale saw to It that the item for Augusta, which the House voted out, was put back, and the Maine men. especially ex-Gover nors Powers and Burleigh were work ing on the matter at their end of the Cap’tol. so that when the bill got back there for concurrence they had plenty of strength to have the appropriations for the agencies restored. It will mean a lot to Augusta and to the pensioners of Maine, as under the service pension act the number of pensioners will be considerably increased and the amount of work in getting the cheeks to the old soldiers will be greater than ever. Governor Burleigh has been at the War Department inquiring about the prospects for the further improve ments to the Kennebec River, as authorized on the recent River and Harbor appropriation law.

Whitney’s Musical cocktail, "Piff Paff Pouf” which will be the offering at the Opera House Friday night. The company has the distinction of being well balanced and the various parts allotted to such well known players as Denman Maley, as "Peter PoutHe, the Sandman" of Swamp Root fame. Mr. Maley was one of the original sailors in the "Isle of Spice” when it ran In Boston during the summer of 1804 and during its four months’ run at tin* Majestic Theatre New York City, last season, Mr. Maley was with Low Fields in “It Happened In Nordeland" and from the opinion of press and public, there seems to be one verdict—the best "Peter PoutHe" the piece has ever had. Mi s Henrietta Lee has the part of the dashing “Widow Montague.” She is nice to look upon, sings well and wears gorgeous gowns made in Paris. Miss Lee played the part of the "Widow” in Hc-nry W. Savage’s Prince of Pllsen” for eight months and has been conected with several of the musi cal successes of the past few years, and Mr. Whitney displayed good judg ment in securing her services for such an important part in this musical cock tail—^"Piff Paff Pouf.” Mr. Chas. P. Morrison has the part of “August Melon” the multi-millionaire. Mr. Morrison makes an ideal wealthy old widower, who finds Atlantic City the place for his idle time during the summer months. The rest of the east so well selected: among them may be mentioned Lulu McConnell, Emily Gardner, Olive Woolford, Harry Simon Stanley, John Dyer, Walter Fishter, ('has. Southworth and Lisle Bloodgood. The music in of the catchy sort anil there is a reminiscence of the comedy which the theatregoers of today delight in for in the second act of this piece, there is a “March of the Flags.” not in spangles, but in Flags of all Na tions. it is a glittering pageant, re markably striking in its simplicity. As a production, "Piff Paff Pouf” is re ported to be as elaborate as anything the Stage has seen in the last decade. The first act is laid at Atlantic City with the bathing beach and all its places of amusement and the world re nowned Boardwalk, making in all a most striking stage setting, while the second act takes place on the beautiful Hudson River with the exterior of Mrs. Montague's villa and lawn for material, which affords great opportu nities for a beautiful stage picture. Seats are now selling. Prices She. to $1.50. Shepard’s Pictures, Saturday. A magnificent array of Moving Pictures by tiie Archie L.

(Continued front Page Bight.) an effort was made to attach to an ap propriation bill for the benelit of the university practically this same condi tion that they discard their liberal arts courses, and it was voted down then by a larere majority. I say the State is committed to the policy of maintaining the liberal arts department. 1 want to eall attention to the issue itself which is before this House at the present time. The condition at tached to the report of the majority of the committee on education is as fol lows: “In recognition of the power and du ty of the State to determine, within the limitations of the Act of Congress, approved July 5. 1M>2. what shall be the character of the education at the University of Maine which it will aid with an appropriation, and. especially, to determine whether it will so aid in struction in sclentitie and dnssickal studies other than those related to agriculture and the mechanic arts, this appropriation is made on condition that, after the commencement of 1907. (or after 190S. as may be thought best), the university discontinue the duplica tion of the liberal arts courses of the other Maine colleges, and the confer ring of the Bachelor of Arts degree. But this condition is not intended to e xclude from the curriculum of the uni versity any courses that are now. or may be hereafter, reasonably necessary to the adequate cultivation of its spe cial field of work." "What Is this special field of work 7 They say it is agriculture and tlie mo h.inic arts and that only. 1 have tak en pains somewhat to sec just what that (Tvi rs anil I find on page 98 of tie- catalogue of the university a state ment of the organization of the uni versity. 1 unit in the report of the trustees a statement of the number of students now engag'si in the- several departments. 1 tind that there are five departments including the college o£ arts anil sciences which has 127 stu dents. Now. th-> college of arts and sciences until last year at as called the littoral arts department, and this par ticular condition attached here has ref erence to the liberal arts department, and the n ports that have so far boon presented to the Legislature in the pas* have ha-1 reference to the liberal arts department and not merely to the two letters "B. A.” In the college of agriculture there were f>6 students, ir. the college of technology 3«». in the forestry i ourse 27, in the college of pharmacy -3. and in the college of ln.\v 90. If this condition is to be attach ed as presented here it merely means that those that will be left are those persons included in the college of agriculture and the college of technolo gy. As to the matter expenses, there are five departments, four of which, so far as the work is concerned. have about on° year of their period in rom* mon. so that so far as the liberal arts department is concerned there is about one-fourth of the expense taken care of already. In the liberal arts depart ment the B. A. degree further differs from the B. S. degree which is a part of that same department, merely in this, that the students taking the B. A. I degree at the beginning of the Sophij more year-elect tlieir Latin or Greek, while the students for the IS. S. de gree elect one or another of the sci ences. This is all the difference there is. So if you abolish the B. A. degree you only remove two studies. Latin and Greek. Now that is the whole sa:n and substance of the proposition to re move the K. A. degree. I found that there are 31 professors in all engaged in me liberal arts department, oi whom are engaged in other depart ments, some in two, some in three oth er departments. That means that In taking account of the expense of the coursc. State of Maine is because we haven't a proper system to put this line in operation. We have no eriticsm to make against the University >f Main1, only it seems to us that it does not pay enough attention to the funda mental things that are vital to the interests of the State. Thirty stud ents against 700 are pursuing studies in this line; five or six professors against GO are instructing along this line. What would it indicate if we snouiu dp amo tnrougn tn-a university of Maine to produce a hay crop r. Fellows to be obliged to come here vi-ar after vear and beg the great Delicious Hot Biscuit MADE WITH DAVAI baking UU I POWDER are the most appetizing, health ful and nutritious of foods Much depends upon the Baking Powder State of Maine to support Its Institu tions. Certainly, It must be very hu militating to him. I appeal to you, gentlemen, shall we take a step backward or shall we main tain the position of the State In higher educational matters? Now then, gen tlemen, let us not be swayed by aver se or Jealousy, but take a liberal view of the matter and do Justice to our selves. Justice to the University of Mnino and Justice to the State of Maine. This Is not a political question, but Is higher and deeper and broader than any political question. A matter of vital importance to every farmer and farmer’s son in the State. We can send our boys to Orono at a great deal less cost than we can to Bates, Bowdoin or Colby. And beyond the matter of tx jense a true consideration of the pos sibilities of the University of Maine should quicken the life-blood and stir ti e pulse of every man whose horlaon is broadened by looking out upon the world's mighty activities. (Applause^) Mr. LORD of Parsonsfleld—Mr. Speaker, I am aware that the hour is growing late, and I assure you that I will not detain you very long. It seems to me on the part of some gentlemen there seems to be a bit of intolerance as to the opinion of other members or the Legislature. I don't wish to sit here and be recorded as an enemy to the t'niversity of Maine. I have had an opinion and one which 1 think is shared hy a large majority of my con stituents that so far from curtailing the usefulness of the university the policy which is outlined by the majori ty of this committee will enhance the usefulness of this institution. J here must be a limitation somewhere and the practical limitation seems to he the amount of money that will be given by this Legislature to the university. Now a difference of opinion comes as to •’.here that money can best be ex panded. If the State of Maine is will ing to commit itself to this policy of expansion in every line. I am content; but with the amount of money which it seerns to me they would be willing to give, it might be better expended in strengthening the courses along the special lines. y.V have heard references to that great body of Grangers. We have heard it stated that they are in favor of retaining the IJ. A. degree in the i'ni versity of Maine. I do not think that that -statement would apply to all of the Go,GOO Patrons in the State. There Kn L-A*-no differ on r»f nninion. I am quit* sure that there are many who would not agree with that idea. In New Hampshire in the agricultural college they have over 1100 students, in Massachusetts they have over 300, in Rhode Island they have 100. in the ug lieultural lines; in Maine we have 56. In Heaven's name, ure_ we willing to admit that the agricultural interests of Maine are in any way inferior to those of these other states? Now, if we are going to appropriate this amount of money, it seems to me a fair statement that the gentleman from Island Falls makes that the retention of the B. A. degree is at least expen sive, and that a portion of that money could be better expended along the special linos. That is the only ques tion before us, that is the only differ ence of opinion: and I take the same ground as the gentleman from Island Kails, that if the B. A. degrees could be retained, then the university mud have more money. (Applause.) Mr. Dontgan of Bingham, moved that when the vote is taken it be by the yeas ar.d nays. The motion was agreed to. The SPEAKER—Shall the main question be now put? The motion was agreed to. The SPEAKER—The question is on the adoption of the amendment to the resolution. All those in favor of the amendment, to strike out all after ninth line in the resolve presented by the majority report will say yes as their names are called; those opposed will say no.
