WILL BE NO CRIMINAL TRIALS. Tompkins of Bowerbank Given 2 Years at Thomaston—Hard- ing Divorce Case Postponed. Dover. Me., Marach 7.—(Spec ial).— The greater part of today in the su preme court was taken up in passing sentences on those indicted for various crimes. Eugene L. Priest of Sanger ville, indicted for two single sales, was the first to receive sentence. Priest was the man who was captured in hack of Guilford mountain Tuesday by Dep uty Sheriff Weymouth after quite a chase. John S. Williams, attorney for Priest, addressed the court in behalf of the prisoner and urged that as light a sentence as possible be imposed. County Attorney Burgess of Sanger ville in behalf of the State, made a few remarks telling of the previous record of the prisoner, which he described as being bad. On a conviction several years ago he received a sentence of a fine which his children paid by com ing into court with their savings banks, which they emptied and paid the fine for their father. The county attorney urged that a jail sentence be imposed. Judge Peabody made it 30 days in jail. William B. Mooney, a Guilford tailor, who was indicted as a common seller and who was arrested at Bucksport on a capias several days ago. was ar raigned and enlered a plea of nolo con tendere. Col. J. B. Peaks was his coun sel and told the court of his past good record and urged leniency in imposing sentence. County Attorney Burgess briefly stated the State's side of the case and said that Mooney had been soiling to his friends and not on a very extensive scale. The court ordered Mooney to pay a tine of $100 and costs taxed at and to stand committed until fim and costs were paid. Ho was remanded to jail, but will, in all prob ability, pay the fine as soon as the necessary funds can be raised. Albert Church of Shirley, indicted for adultery, was brought to the dork and catered a plea of nolo contendere. His counsel, Henry Hudson, made a brief statement and the prosecuting officer had nothing ti> say. Church was lined which was immediately paid. It was expected that this case would be tried. but the prisoner decided that in stead of demanding trial he would throw himself on the mercy- of the court. The case against Nelson Langlois for a single sale was continued on motion of County Attorney Burgess. 1 .ate Wednesday Isaac A. Harris, who plead ed guilty to being a common seller, was fined S100 and costs which was paid. The case against Leroy Perkins of Cambridge, indicted for larceny, was continued. It was stated Thursday that there would be no criminal trials and the court will adjourn either late Thurs day night or sometime Friday. Several other criminal matters remained to be heard late Thursday afternoon. Henry Hudson of Guilford, counsel for Mrs. Harding of Monsnn. who de sires a decree c.f divorce from her hus band, Dr. Harding, late of Monson. Guilford and Bangor, but now of Seat tle. Wash., moved Thursday "that the libel lie heard at this present term of court. Mrs. Harding in filing her libel, alleges gross and confirmed habits of intoxication as the reason why a bill should be granted her. Hon. Frank K. Guernsey, counsel for Dr. Harding, was unable to be present and C. \V. Brown appeared for him. Judge Brown urged that the case be continued to an other term, inasmuch as the doctor wishes to file an answer. There was considerable discussion over the mat ter and the court finally decided to con tinue the case and to order the defend ant to i>ay the libelant a certain sum ot money in ttic meantime to help de fray the costs of the case. The most important criminal matter of the afternoon session was the pass ing of sentence on Willis Tompkins of Bowerbank for breaking, entering and larceny. Judge Peabody ordered that he In puished by confinement for two years in the State prison at Thom is ton. ALL VOTE^YES” For Prof. Henderson’s Col lege of Courtship.

March T.—Colleges f court ship for the rc-form of American love making' are needed to tit the lovelorn population of the nation of matrimony, according to Professor diaries K. Hen derson. the University of Chicago soci ologist. In an article mi “courtship” in the current Biblical World, issued from the University Press yesterday. the professor urges export instructions for those who are smitten with the “illu sion*!” of love. Hasty marriages, divorce and mar riages of convenience are classed as results of the “barbarism" into which courtship and marriage have fallen. He gives as examples of the decline in true love "where the wife is bought for tlie parent like a cow or where sho is compelled to marry to secure a for tune front a rich fool.” Fashionable society exhibits grave standards and alimony is accepted as a substitute for rational marriage he declares.

NO EXCESSIVE DAMAGES Can Be Recovered In Cases from Loss of the Larchmont. Providence. It. I., March 7.—It came to light here today that till persons having damage suits against the Joy Line Co. for the loss of life on the steamer Larchmont 'can recover-only a share of the steamer if she be found, in proportion to their claims. They can rot recover damages from the com pany. A prominent attorney of this city has several suits tiled against the Joy Line Co. in connection with the recent Larchmcnt disaster and today the I'nited States statutes were consulted. Ly the act of lv.t tin- owners of the vessel are enabled to limit their lia bilities to the vessel itself. As soon as the damage suits are filed a trustee can he appointed and if the steamer can be found he can take charge of it. As soon as this trustee is appointed notices will immediately be served and all suits anywhere in the country will be stopped at once. Then if the vessel is located tlm claims involved in the suits can be settled only in proportion to the amount obtaine'd for the sunken steamer. Senator Spooner had the following to* sky Thursday about a report from Minneapolis that he is to enter the ser vice of James J. Hill, of the Great Northern llailway at a salary of $7t 000 a year. "Mr. Hill offered me the place of general counsel of his roads in ISM. I have not met Mr. Hill sine?. then, nor have I had any communica tions from him. The story that I will 1 be in his employ is a faorication pure jand simple. I did not announce my retirement from the Senate to become the lawyer of any single corporation.” King Frederick Augustus of Saxony arrived Thursday at Lisbon and will be received in state by King Charles of Portugal.

ANOTHER SCANDAL IN MASS. LEGISLATURE. Rep. Lamoureaux Is Charged With Corruptly Requesting and Ac cepting a Gratuity. t Asserts Innocence—Early Trial Is Asked to Secure The Pres ence of Important Witnesses.: Boston, March 7.—St. John Lamour eanx of North Adams, representative from the second Berkshire district, was arrested today, on an indictment re turned by the Suffolk county grand jury, charging him with corruptly re questing and accepting a gratuity. The Indictment, which was a bulky docu ment, consists of four counts and al leges that Lamoureaux received ilSO from William H. McMasters of this city, on a promise to inliuence two members of a legislative committee against a certain bill now pending in the Legislature. Lamoureaux. who at the opening of the session of the House this afternoon, asked the members to suspend judg ment, went directly to the court house and was arraigned before Judge Brown in the superior court, where Tie pleaded not guilty to the charge. Assistant District Attorney Dwyer was immediately asked for a speedy trial of the ease, claiming that there was danger of a legislative investiga tion which would render immune from appearing in court a number of wit nesses who it was desired to hear at the trial. Judge Brown refused the re quest, although District Attorney Mo ran, in a husky voice, stated that Lainoureaux's counsel was also irixious for a quick disposition of the ease. Judge Brown said lie saw the reason to disturb tlie regular trial list next week, but was willing to have tile dis Irict attorney and Lainoureaux's ioun sel agree on a date. Lamoureaux was tin n admitted to $2000 bail, furnished bv frlsmds, and was then taken to po lice’ head quarters, where be went through ihe formality of being booked. Tile grand jury lias been sitting oil the case for two days, taking up the charges almost immediately after their appearance yesterday in local paper. Five witnesses were heard and this morning jpic district attorney had an interview with lice members of the committee on judiciary. Lamoureaux was born in North Ad ams about I in years ago, and is a lawyer. This is his second tc rm in the Legisla ture. where he lias twice be e n clerk of the committee on railroads. The so-called immunity in connec tion with members of the Legislature referred lo by the district attorney de veloped last year, when members of the Legislature.were prevented from testifying in the superior court, by re a son of a constitutional provision which exempts members from appearing ’y> fore a lower court when they have al ready appeared on a similar ease lear there was being held at the same time a special investigation by the eommitteee on rules which ini muned all the members froni testifying in the court proceedings. The legisla tive investigation resulted in the ex pulsion of a member of the charge of attempting to bribe another member. Representative S. J. Lamoureaux of North Adams rose in (he IMasSacliusnils House this afternoon and, speaking to a question of personal privilege, declared that he was guilty of no wrong n-nd had committed no crime, the representative referring to the charge made by the ed itor of a weekly newspaper that he had accepted money in connection with the shoe machinery legislation. Mr. Lam oureaux asked the House to suspend Judgment pending an Investigation. Hi assured the members that he ■would ex pose the perpetrators of the "most wick ed ar.d iniquitous plot to defame and de grade" both him and the Legislature It self. The- charge against Representative Lamourcaux was made by WHliam H. McMasters, the editor of Commonwealth, and had relation to an Incident which Is said to have taken place 1n McMasters’ ofhee, .when money is alleged to have been transferred in connection with the pending shoe machinery bill. The bill in question makes it illegal for compa nies to impose as a condition of the loos ing of machinery that the lessees shall lease of no other company. In his statement to the House, Mr. Lantoureaux also Bald: “Until proof worthy of the considera tion of the honest serious-minded is shown against me I ask you in the namo of decent humanity to do me simple jus tice not to allow false and wicked reports to influence vour minds against me. I fear no man, no false friend, no for juror and no tribunal where honest men a t. T pledge you my faith to vindicate the honor of this House and the respect in which I am held by those who know mo and which I hold myself." Among those who called upon District Attorney Moran today were Rep.-H. p. Drysdale of North Adams. Senator James H.jVahey of Watertown, Rep. J. J. Hig gins of Somerville. Rep. Charles J. Wler of Lowell and Rep. Hobson of Palmer. UNIVERSITY OF MAINE. Ths Ice Carnival Close*—Will Be Made Annual Feature. Orono.

On motion by Mr. Staples of Knox, House Document No. 2110 "Hill to amend Revised Statutes, relating t«> lime casks" was taken from the table. On further motion l>y the same sena tor the bill was passed to be engrossed. On motion by Mr. Mills of IlancocK, Senate Document No. 162 "Majority leport. ought to pass, in new draft." minority report, ought not to pass, on bill relating to Knion Water Power Company" was taken from the table. Mr. MILLS of Hancock—Mr. Presi dent I trust that the motion of the senator from Oxford that the minority be accepted will not prevail. Mr. HASTINGS of Oxford—Mr. President, the question before the Sen ate. the Legislature, and the people of Maine Is whether or not the t'niou Water Power Company of Lewiston shall be allowed, by legislative act. to draw down the water of tile Rangeley lakes below the low water level, whether or not this Legislature shall extend to this powerful corporation a tight never before granted In the his tory of the State. This was the pro position submitted in the bill that was presented to the Legislature in the early part of this session: this was the proposition that was placed before and submitted to the committee which re ported the bill now under consideration in a now draft, which contains several limitations and provisos which are valueless and of no tonsequence. fail ing completely to touch or affect the viciousness and enormity of the meas ure. It is the same old bill tho‘ be comingly decked and attired. In order to get at this let us see what the original bill was. let us see what this company tried to get, for it is to be presumed that they could not get a favorable report on it as it then was drawn. (Reading the bill! That, gentlemen, was the bill, as simple and honest a bill as words could formulate, before it encountered difficulties and troubles on its way. Now let us see what the bill is before us as it has finally come from the committee, after having been given long and faithful consideration. The first change which catches the eye is this "when necessary to main tain a flow of water in the Androscog gin river through Errol dam In the state of New Hampshire, of not more than 1400 cubic feet of water per second." Now. gentlemen of the Senate, does that add anything to the bill? Who can know outside of the Union Water Power Company whether or gates at Errol fourteen hundred cubic feet of water? Who could find out how much was going through if he should make the attempt? What cottage own er, what hotel-keeper, what steamboat proprietor, what one of the citizens of Maine could ever go there from December 1st to the first of April and find out how many cubic feet of water was being used per second? Every senator in this Chamber knows that the company would draw what it needed during those months, and no one, even if he knew they were ex ceeding the limit, could help himself.. An utterly worthless and useless limi tation in the bill. The following proviso locating the elevation of the sills of the deep gates simply makes clear and plain what they said they meant in the tlrst draft. But next comes a great and sur prising concession in this provision relating to the construction of a dam across Rapid River below the Pond in-the-River for the purpose of facil itating the driving of logs and thereby saving water. On the face of it. this seems like an honest plan on the part of the company to save up and store an enormous amount of water. But, gentlemen, anyone familiar with the driving of small streams knows that dams like the one suggested are com paratively small and inexpensive af fairs and are built in large number in all parts of the State to aid log driv ers in dry seasons. Tile only wonder is that it has not been done before. Some water night be saved and prob ably would, but it would be merely a drop in the bucket, a bucketful in tbe sea compared with the whole product of this Rangeley water basin. And the claim of the company that water would be saved by the dam sufficient to make up the extra amount which could be drawn off under this Dill is absurd, a matter of guess work and conjecture. But. gentlemen, if the company puts this forward as an hon est proposition, why not say to them ‘Build your dam. save the water, and see if you cannot tide over the low water period a year or two and pos sibly you may find that you will not need to dredge the outlets of the lakes. Possibly you may not require the great concession from the State. Section 2 has been added. In this section provision has been made for holding the company liable for any legal damages sustained by any per son, etc. Note the wording “legal damages” and “legally recoverable.” The damage must be legal; the dam age must be legally recoverble. Now, gentlemen. I am not going in to the technical part of this matter. I am not going to array legal au thorities or cite precedents but I am going to say that in my judgment there is not an attorney within the sound of my voice who thinks or be lieves that any damage whatever could be legally assessed against this company when it had been given the right by the State to use and draw off the water of the State thereby leaving the land of the State exposed to the air. an unsightly, foul-smelling border around the lake in front of the hotels and cottages. Does any one think this section makes the bill more acceptable to those who are im mediately interested? But admitting for the sake of this argument that tlie damages would not be "damages without injury” and not too remote, who could afford to test this out in the courts with this- powerful corpo ration, and of what avail would it be after one disastrous season at the lakes. I submit, gentlemen, it is a fair statement to make that the bill be fore us differs not in the essential features from the bill as first drawn. It simmers down to one and the same proposition, the drawing down of .Mooselucmagu ntic and Richardson I.akes some six or more feet below the present low water level without let or hindrance from December 1st to April 1st; the opening of the door of the last asset of the people, an asset growing and increasing in value year by year anil destined to be in the fu ture the most wonderful lake and in land resort on the face of the earth, to a private corporation, animated only by a desire for more dividends, a cor poration without soul asking this mighty concession fwnv this Legisla ture. that they may ha\d* a little more water for a week or two, a few weeks, now- and then a year. In our whole State there is nothing dearer to the hearts of the people than these lakes, given to us in abundance by the Al mighty to be held inviolate through the ages. Our beautiful livers now contaminated and poisoned were deal to tlie jieopie, our boundless and mag nificent forests now beyond our reach, were our pride, but it lias remained for the corporations to touch the ten derest chord of our heart-strings by this proposition of levying upon our lakes. Oh. but they say. “we will do no harm, we will not mar the scenic beauty: wo will not destroy the fish in the lakes.” But. gentlemen, that is conjecture only, and this is but the first step. In this bill they are merely getting a foot-hold. What lias been otir experience this winter? Is it not true that three-fourths of our time has been spent on these corpo ration matters? Is it not true that they get what they ran the first time and then in two years, or when con ditions are more favorable, they come back for more? Once given tlie key that unlocks the Rangeleys and the other corporations will come trooping In for the same treatment. After the beautiful Rangeleys, then will come the great Moosehead. Indeed in this contest not the Un ion Water Power Company alone is interested-. The International Paper Company with its representatives, the Berlin Mills Company, too. a corpora tion in another State, but located on the Androscoggin, are standing about in more than an interested manner and feel a bond of sympathy with tlie struggling power company and at tend upon us with hungry and greedy eyes, each apparently vieing with the other in their enthusiasm and deter mination to get the bill through. But, gentlemen, does this company deserve more at the hands of the State and that too free of cost? For now thirty years or more this com pany. made up as it is of representa tives of five or six great manufactur ing companies, in the city of Lewis ton, has at the trifling expense of keeping up their dams received and enjoyed the magnificent power of these Rangeley Lake waters free of cost from the State. The whole pro duct of this great watershed has been caught up. harnessed and distributed, contributing to their profits and divi dends to an extent beyond computa tion, this whole lake region, an area ninety square miles, with the dams as now located, has rushed down the valley of the Androscoggin and made the city of Lewiston, con tributing and perpetuating and making fixed and permanent her prosperity. On the water, as now stored. in wet seasons and dry soasor.s oilier great manufacturing cen ters have grown up even beyond the dream of their most sanguine promoters. Iteriin Falls, Rumfdrd Falls. Livermore Falls are thriving and prosperous. But Mr. White, the treasurer of tha X'nion Water Power Company, in a com munication to the Lewiston Journal of Monday last, said that "they needed a supply for a few weeks in the winter months, not every year perhaps, but ev ery few years." and that their need was "no trifling handicap to the milts." and in that article he tells of the “various expedients that were studied by their engineers, 1 1>ut which were "dismissed .is not practical or reasonable"—couldn't be done or cost too much. But. gi nil- men. did h- say that t\iey had e> lia -ted t.h.-ir i.oragx- powers in that Rungeiy !akin be.autv of surround ings the far famous Trossacks and the Lakes of Killamey. These business corporations, these sum mer interests, each have their special light. The one should not be allowed to encroach upon or jeopardize the other. Now. whether the granting of this bill would destroy the scenic beauty of our lakes, and I do not doubt that it -would: whether the granting of the |>ni wcill cause the destruction of the fish in the lakes, and the authorities; on fish culture say tha tit would, whether the granting of this l^ii will damage and injure and possibly wipe out ail imlivdiual interests about these lakes, j ri,, .not propose to discuss. No one knows: no one can know. The lakes may fill up. if drawn down: they may not. One thing, how ever. is certain, is sure. If -we do not grant this hill, if we do pot open this door, then tv*- may be sure, then we nny know that all interests are safe. We must take no chances. If the manufacturing industries aro suffering. let the Fnion Water Power Company develop and exhaust the stor age resources of the Magallowav river, even though it costs a hundred or two hundred thousand dollars, let them con struct the dam at the Pcnd-in-the-Rivcr and thus save and conserve the waters of the Richardson lakes to what extent they can, and they will have no cause to complain of short water for years to come. To my county and the county of Frank line, in which these lakes nra situated, this is the most moraer.lmu and far reaching proposition that has come be fore the Legislature in the history of the State. To the whole State it is a proposition that overshadows and ob scure- all others presented at this Leg islature. It i® a step (which, if taken, mav cost us our property: it is a step which wo can never retrace This is a contest on on® sid eof which arc the private interests with th. ir force of trained and skilled lobbyists, on the other side th® plain people, strong in the justice of ih®ir cans®. We are here sitting in judgment under our oitiis. representing no one interest, no corporations; but the people nf the State. Let us. gentlemen, bring to hear upon th® solution of this ouestion each his own best "ousel' nee and all will bo well and will be content. Mr. MILLS of Hancock: Mr. Pres ident and Gentlemen. In the discus sion of this question I wish to be gov erned by those interests which are for the welfare of the people of the State. As the senator from Oxford has Just said, the only desire I have in the matter is that it may be decided in the interests of the majority of the people who are concerned. I wish to state briefly—and briefly only—the reasons which influenced the majority of the committee in mak in this report and in recommending this legislation; and before doing that it seems to me fitting to say that the senator's allusions to the lobby and to the corporate interests which have been, and are, represented here, and especially his statement made a week ago when this question was tabled, is rather out of place. Inasmuch as the men who are op posing this bill were opposing it vig orously before the friends of the measure undertook the work or ever took any steps towards its passage, and inasmuch as the friends of the senator from Oxford have done every thing in their power and have left no stone unturned, it seems to me it comes in rather poor taste for him to make the suggestion which he has regarding the influence of the lobby. As a matter of fact, Mr. President, I believe that every citizen of the State has a right to come to this cap ital and, by conversation with the j members, undertake to secure the passage of legislation which he de j sires. I believe that is the privilege which every citizen should by right enjoy. I believe it is proper, and further than that I am quite certain that it is bene ficial for the purpose of giving to members information generaly from different parts of the State. I want to say also along that same j line that, when the senator from Ox ford spoke of our passing this bill in i the interests of certain large corpora tions that that argument did not realty appeal to me so much as it would have appealed to me had I not known that some of the richest cor porations in the State are today op posing the bill. Some of the corporations whose water flows every day in the year and every hour in the day and which sell their water all over this country, come here opposing a corporation which de sires the use of this water in the lakes four months in the year. What would they say if we should say to them; You must shut off your business at a certain period of the year—you must restrict it on account of other interests which are to be served This corporation, Mr. President, by an act passed in 1885. acquired the right to flow Mooselucmeguntick Lake and lower Richardson Lakes. Under that charter they erected a dam twenty-one feet high. They stor ed water and do now store water fif teen feet above the natural level of the lakes. They have a right to use this water at any time of the year and at all times of the year. They have a right to draw this water down and they have that right legally and equit ably at any time of the season. Xow they come here, .Mr. President, and ask us to grant them the use of six feet more of the waters during four months of the winter, j Th'ey ask the privilege of lowering j the waters of Mooseluemeguntic and I also Richardson lake, during these four months in order to keep the mills in constant operation along the banks of tlie Androscoggin River. We claim, Mr. President, that it is a reasonable and fair request. The opposition say that this will prove to be of great injury to the lakes. They say that the lakes will not refill. That is tlie main opposition—the main ar gument of the opposition,—that the lakes will not refill. Xow, it seems to me that it cannot be questioned that the lakes will refill to the natural low water level. It is an absurd proposi tion to say that they will not refill to that point, and that is as far as this company is bound to keep them filled. They have erected a dam at an enor mous expense. They have purchased flowagc rights ail around that lake. They have a right to use tnis water which is stored there and they are only bound, by law and equity, to keep it up to the natural low water level. That is all that can be asked of them. Above that the water rises and falls for the space of—to be exact, four teen feet, possibly it may rise fifteen. It is in actual practice fourteen. This water rises and falls on the shore of the lake to that amount. But we claim, Mr. President, that according to tlie facts of history, and according to all reasoning, that the lakes will not only refill to the natural low water level, but they will refill to the top of the dam. They have always done this in the past, practi cally; and there is no reason, consid ering the hundreds of square miles of area that drain into these lakes, that they will not do it in the future. There is no argument to convince us that the course of Xature is going to he changed—that the rain-fall is going to be materially less. Every possible reason argues to the con trary. As a matter of fact, these lakes since 1KS7 have not only refilled but they have begun to waste every year since that time. In 1887 they were filled to the extent of twenty feet on the ninth day of May. and they began to waste on that date. In 1S88 they refilled from May 14th to April 19th. and so on to 1895. May 1.5 and water Mas wasted in each and every one of those years. Xow, provided that, by any pos sible contingency, these lakes should j not refill to the top of the dam, we j put this provision into the bill, name j !y. that, before exercising the rights i which will be granted by this bill the There ie only one “Bromo Quinine" That la Laxative Bromo QuinlnOa Similarly nmel r»neJies ecxetlnes deceive. Ibis tirst ted ontinal Coll Tahiti i» WHITE riCKibE ctv.1i bUei (Bd rsd lettering, End tcaii t-ie Signature cl company must build a dam below what is called Pond-In-River. On ac count of the physical surroundings at what is called Pond In the River a great deal of water naturally goes to waste. We provide that the com pany, at an expense of $5000 which the senator from Oxford says is prac tically no expense or does not amount to very much—we provide that they must build this dam and save twice as much water as they ask to use. In other words, they rkU to draw from the lakes now, during the winter months, two and one-half billion feet of water; and we say that they must, by this dam save five billion feet of water—there are six billion feet going to waste, according to the figures of the record now kept. It requires one billion feet, according to the records which we mUst go by—and it is tile only authority we have to go by— one billion feet only is required fri lit.wing the logs. Building the dam will niak*1 a saving of five lylPion cubic feet of water, and they only ask the privilege of using two and a half billion during the four months of the winter. In other words they have come to this Legislature and are seeking to borrow water mhI they guarantee to return it. It is a guaranty, if you can make a guaranty by Utters and figures and provisions in a bill. If the lake would not refill, wiiat would lie the sense or reason of drawing the water out and what would be the use of that extra water during the summer and if the water did not come up to the top of the dam? Why? It is so much money wasted. It is $30,000 if I remember the figures correctly, which were given as an estimate of the cost for dredging this outlet. Thirty thousand dollars could be thrown away; and is this cor poration, which the senator from Ox ford represents as being so greedj- and so selfish, inclined to throw away $30,000 for a purpose which will not benefit them in the least? I will do so if the lakes do not refill to the top of the dam. That is a dear proposi tion; and it is not open to argument, and that is the whole thing in a tiut shell. The corporation and those who have its affairs in charge claim that they can keep their mills running dur ing the winter with the privilege; and they guarantee to return in the spring and summer more than the amount wlileh they use extra, as provided for by the bill. The senator speaks of the "vicious ness" and the *enormity" of this bill, but he does not point out the facts and conditions which make the bill vicious or enormous. It is nice to use those big words and they sound fine when they go out over the State and are read by the people out on the farms; and I want to say right here that I will ad mit that the people in Oxford and Franklin, to the best of my judgment —the majority of them—are opposed to this measure. I believe it is because these big words would have been used in regard to the effect of drawing down these lakes. I believe more than that, it is because misrepresentations have been made through those misleading communications which have been is sued and paid for in different papers. I believe, if the thing were stated fairly to the people of Oxford county, and not only stated fairly but so that they eouid understand it thoroughly and could know what the effect wold be an how it would affect the working poaple in Lewiston, in Rumford Fails and in other places, I believe they would vote for the bill. Further than that. Mr. President. I believe that the men that are said to be opposed to the bill if they came down here next July, provided the bill were in operation, would not know that the lakes had ever been drained. The trouble is that th? probable results are not correctly stated to the people ard they are not correctly and properly un derstood. It comes down to this prop osition: it is simply an issue between the manufacturing interests of the State and tlie summer industry. Rota of which are important. I believe there is room enough for both on the Rangeiey iakes and the other lakes— both can expand and get all that wa ter that is required and needed, but if w are to discriminate in any respect, or in the slightest degree. I believe we should legislate in favor of that indus try which keeps the people—the oper atives busy al! the year round. If tin re is to be any favoritism shown—if the word is properly used—let it be shown towards that business which keeps 13,OoO people busy from January 1 to December 31. provided the water power is sufficient strong, l.et it be in favor of tiiat industry which pays over three hundred thousand dollars weekly to operatives along the banks of the Androscoggin river. But I believe that nobody's interests will lie injured: and, if there is any question or any doubt, give the opei.: tives the benefit of it. True: It may effect favorably the nwm rs or the stockholders of this corporation ns wed its the operatives, hilt the operatives are those who are principally effected because, as I say, more than three hundred thousand dollars is kept front their pockets every week that the mills are not in operation. In Rumford Falls today one-half of the mills are running oil one-half of the machinery, and that has been so for four weeks continuously: and it is so because there is not water power enough to keep the mills running, and that is a fact. The senator mentioned the fact that you could not control these corpora tions—that if you were to give them certain rights—give them a foot, they would take ten. No. Mr. President. I cannot see any reasonable argument in that. If the corporations do not act in accordance to tlie provisions of this bill, it is an easy matter to secure an injunction. Judge t?avage of Auburn would grant an injunction inside of 34 hors and I cannot see any reasonable argument in the assertion that they w 11 go beyond the provisions of the bill. The. principal thing is not as to its le gability, possibly, although that is an important argument: and I will touch upon it in a moment, but the principal thing is: What is for the best inter ests of the majority of the people Last week when this matter came up for discussion. 3000 operatives. with their dinner pails, were walking out of the mills at Lew iston at 10 o'clock in the morning, and why? Because the water power was not sufficient to keep the mills in operation. Forty-eight thousand dollars a week in Lewiston is lost every week that they are not in operation. The senator declines to cite any precedents to sjppvt h.s argument because, though lie does not state it, the re are none to be cited. He states further that this .s a thing which has never been done In the past, or word* to that effect, which to my tnind U a misunderstanding on the part of the senator from Oxford; for, If you will look Into the Private and Special I.aw* of ]*tl and Chapter 00 of those laws, you wilt find a paragraph which reads like this: *‘VV. O. Alden, Knowlton Itros.. M-guntieook Woolen Co.. Cam den Woolen Mills. A. L.. Alden. the Knox Woolen Co., etc. of Camden. Knox county, this State, are hereby au thorized to deepen the t hanncl of Ca naan pond to the depth of four feet and to use the waters of said pond and all its tributaries thereto to that extent, or the purpose of running mills on said stream." That Is Just exactly whattthis company is asking for. fn the tow n of flluehill, county of Han cock. a right was granted to certain parties to drain Noyes pond three feet during June. July, August and September ar.d to keep the waters at llieir natural heights during the remain ing eight months of the year; and it pro vided that the company should l»e liable for damages. If any—Just exactly what thi$ bill provides and exactly the same principle which Is incorporated In this measure. Chapter 3S* in the Acts of 1%3 author izes parties to change the outlet of Kid der pond, providxi. however, that the wai'-r in said Kidder |e>nd shall not bo drawn down lower than the actual level in time of drouth. I behove the prin ciple is established. I be'Pve that the State has absolute control of these great ponds. I think that cannot be questioned and I think it will not be undertaken to be questioned but that the State lias full control and full power over these great ponds to grant their use for whatever public purpose it sees fit. And we submit that this is a public purpose inasmuch as In jr.,000 operatives Is effected thereby ar.d directly effected thereby, and their families arc depend ent upon the work which these operatives have. We cannot anticipate anything. We do not know what they will ask for next. The senator from Oxford says that thi3 is only a step and that wo do not know what Is coming next, but we are passing unon this bill and not upon a hi" that may com.' up two years Iron- .v. I have no doubt that the Legislature of that date will be eble to take care of their own matters. He speaks to some extent of the Ma g.illtway stream and advises the com panies to go up there rind build a dam. and I wish the senator from Oxford would go into detail little about it and tell this company how they can go up there and securo the property up there when it is not for sale and will not I;a sold and when r.o uric-e can lie obtained upon it. That Is the tact. Mr. President and gentjemen. Possibly some extra water might be se cured at the M:: galloway. It is barely possible that enough might be secured up there at an enormous outlay of mon ey to carry out the purposes of this bill. H is possible but not probable. But it is true that the owners of property up there ’will not sill the land or put a price on their property. Ho speaks of this State being used as a piac of rest and recrea tion and for the purpose of attaining good health and vigor. Must we follow that principle? Must we allow the sum mer people to come here and to monop olize these great natural powers, :ill's water powers which furnish industry and occupation for our people? Must we say to the operatives on the Androscoggin: "You must lie idle in the winter for fear that the summer people shall net hav' enough beautiful scenery and enough water to look upon when they come here in the summer—you make some tittle* sacrifice down on the Androscoggin river —you must rest a little while in.the- win ter so that the summer people may havo rest and recreation and become vigorous and healthful that they may go back to their winter lie nvs ar.d the ir palaces and enjoy for the winter a’.l the luxuries that wealth can give, at the close of the sea son. These, Mr. President, arc facts, ts wrong. I shall be glad to lie corrected: nearly as I understand them. If I mi but 1 understand that it would effect the people along the river in this way. They are the people tint the senator from Ox ford speaks of as the plain people and they are the people that the s. nat »r from Knox gets up here and calls the rimnun people and you will see him standing (Continued on Page Four.)

Long Lost Son May Be Found. .Melrose, Mass., March 7.—Through a l“Her received today, the police be lieve the mystery of the whereabouts of Arthur K. Adams, who disappeared 1" years ago when he was but eight years of age, lias been cleared up and that they are about to be the means of reuniting Adams and his mother long separated. Terrified by a threat that the police would take him in charge if he continued his childish pranks Arthur Adams ran away from his home here in 1SS4. leaving iiis mother, who was a widow, inconsolable. Every effort was made by the police of many cities to find tlie boy and return him to his grief-stricken parent, but no trace of him was found and eventually the case war fill'd in the list of unsolved mys tei ies and forgotten. Today, Roundsman Drown, a veteran patrolman of the Melrose force, was surprised at receiving a letter from Concord, X. H„ signed by Arthur K. Adams, and inquiring as to the address of his mother. According to the letter, young Adams, who is now 21 years old. is in the employ of C\ X. Morgan in Concord, and is anxious to get into communication with his mother. Inquiry by the police among the old er residents elicited the information that Mrs. Adams left Melrose some years ago and was married again to a man named Fillcmore and is now living in Magnolia. Ala. A dispatch has been sent notifying her of the letter received from Concord and an uncle of tho boy. Rev. L. W. Adams of Beverly. Mass., whose name was also mentioned in tho letter, has been communicated with. Certain statements in the letter lead the police to believe that there can be. i:o doubt about its authenticity or that it was written in good faith. It is un derstood that Rev. Mr. Adams has written t the young man in Concord and it is expected by tomorow word will be received from the mother. During all the years since young Adams disappeared his mother has nev er ceased her search for him, and it is said that about a year ago she thought she l'.ad discovered the object of her quest in a youth who went to her in Boston representing himself as her son. She took him back to the South with her. but later learned his claim was false and that he was not her sen.

MAINE LEGISLATURE. (Continued from Pape Two.) upon h1i feet denouncing the terms of this bill and claiming that it is a cor poration measure. I want to remind him that the common people over whom ho •o often sheds tears in the Senate are the ones who are to be injured if this bill does not pass. I ask him to bear that In mind. One thing Is surt^so the sen ator from Oxford says—tf we do not grant this bill, all interests are saved. Suppose wo never do grant any rights oil the lower Richardson lakes or the outlets thereof, all Interests would still be safe. Suppose the State never made an ad vance legislation but walked on in the aame old ruts, following the samo old principles laid down hundreds of years ago—suppose we never dared to venture anything, all Interests would still be safe according to ne arguments made by the senator from Oxford. But would there be any progress? Just one word more In the matter, the mills on the banks of the Androscoggin river are not operated under very favor able conditions. They are a long way Yom the cotton. It has to be shipped acre at great expense, they do not se Aire labor so cheaply as it is secured in the South; and, tf we can do anything by furnishing power for these mills, or by the granting of rights whereby they can furnish power for these mills and thus assist the laboring people down there, I believe it is the duty and the privilege of this Legislature to grant those rights. Mr. President, I have nothing further especially bo say. I might call the at tention of the Senate to the fact that many opinions have been handed down showing that this is a legal right which the State has; but that question, so far, has not been raised; and I will not dis cuss it at this time, as I think it Is prob ably admitted. It ought to be admitted and if it Ih not admitted, I believe, in fairness, it will be. 1 trust the motion will not prevail. Mr. STAPLES of Knox: Mr. Pres ident and gentlemen of the Senate, I regret very much what I feel to be my lack of ability to meet this im portant question in the manner in which it should be met. i am glad the senator from Hancock has anticipated what I might say. He was right in his anticipation in saying that I should take the side of the common people; and if he has become education so that he will not forget it, 1 will say that I shall describe the common people so that there can be no doubt where the senator from Knox will stand on this question. i nis is tne most important measure that lias coni' before this Legislature or any Legislature in the State of Maine for a great number of years. I approach it this morning with the kindest of feelings towards the manu facturing establishments upon that river. I come here with no feelings to befriend anybody upon either side. I must speak according to th- dictates of my own conscience before tin- com mittee of which 1 had the nonor to he a member. I come here this morning fully believing in the right of a corpo ration to be protected. At the same time I come here with the firm belief that the great beauties of Maine should also he protected. These beau tiful lakes should not be obliterated. They should be kept in their prim-val for the benefit of the citizens of the State. Never will I. as long as 1 am in this body, advocate that these lakes should be destroyed as they would be, if this bill is passed by this body. Maine, the grandest State of this Union—the State that brings to our shores every summer thousands of people to breathe the elixir of life and to sport upon our beautiful lakes. If you destroy them the grand scenic beauty of Maine is gone. Let me reply now, for a few min utes, to what the senator said. I ad mit that the Androscoggin valley is a prosperous valley. Those manufac turers over there have as an end the promotion of the welfare of the peo ple; and I wou’d not harm them. Have they been harmed for the last twenty five years in the city of Lewiston on the Androscoggin river? Let me state what the evidence was before the committee. If you go buck twenty-six years from 1906 the Union Water Power Company lias never drawn down the water excepting one year, in 1903—In tile other twenty-six years they have had above their sill from one to ten and one-half feet. Any one would suppose that the mills of Lewiston would he annihilat ed. They have had for the last twenty years a right to drain that lake to a certain extent every year; and for the last twenty years the property of Lewiston and of the Androscoggin valley hits prospered as has no other pectloti of the State. The Union Wa ter Power Company has prospered by having the control of that lake to a certain extent as they can have it in the future. Do you tell me that the operatives In Lewiston have been in jured In the last thirty years? It is in testimony, before the committee, Mr. President, that for the last ten years no mill in Lewiston has shut down excepting for about two hours in 1904 —yes, within the last twenty years and within the last twenty-six years they have drawn down the water in that beautiful lake and have had a right to draw It. One year when there was a drouth all over the State of Maine, there was a foot of water over the sill; but. take it from 1906 back for twenty-six years this Union Wa ter Company, this private corpora tion of Lewiston has had front one to nine feet by the testimony before the committee, more than they have used for twenty-six years. Is it not reasonable to suppose that they will have the same amount of water In the future? Let nto say to you that they must not forget that in that bill there is something a little more than six feet of water to be drawn down in this beautiful lake; and If you will look at the testimony In this case given by the engineer of ♦he TTnlon Water Company you will see that the head of that beautiful lake Is five feet higher than it Is down at the da in and that you would take eleven feet oft of that beautiful lake and there is no one on the other side who will dare to deny it. Tou do not dare to deny It. Your bill is infamous in this that it attempts to deceive the people of this State by saying: You want to draw down six feet when In fact by the testimony of the engineer you are to draw it down eleven feet from the whole service of that lake. If you do that, do you think it will not do any damage to that beautiful lake? Let us look at it. Five times within the last twelve years, as the evidence in this case shows—and I do not mean, Mr. President, to misquote the evidence—I am content with the facts in this case—I say: Take the last twelve years reckoning back from 1906, that that lake has not filled up to its level for five springs. And do you undertake to tell me, where it has not filled up for five springs within the last twelve years, that if you draw it down six feet more you would expect it ever to fill up at that time? I have another proposition to make from a legal standpoint and it is a proposition which should settle this question. I do not believe that tiiis Legislature, whatever they have done in the past or may do in the future have a right to take the property giv en to us for public uses and turn it over to a private corporation which this Union Water Company is. They care very much about the operatives of that city. They have done well for them I have not any doubt: but you must not forget, Mr. President, that this same Union Water Company came here for a charter and got it at one time and asked for further aid from the State and that corporation takes this water from these beautiful lakes and brings it down to Lewiston —and what do they do with it? They do nut use it all for purposes of their own build, but they sell it to the ex tent of 11(1,000, as the evidence shows, to other corporations which am mnt they put into their own pockets. Not only that, but there is a man here from New York today, a capitalist, of great wealth, in the interests of this Union Water Power Company, they comes from ali the St lies of this Union and undertake t destroy these beautiful lakes which or gran deur and glory of the Su SV 11 we allow it to be done. We will have you believe that the Union Water Power Company and the Androscoggin val ley would be wronged by it. Under the right they have now and under the rights which they will have in the future, if this bill dn^-s not pass the prosperity of Liver:n >ro Kails, of Rumford Falls and those other places which have prospered will prosper and I am glad of it. Is it possible that anyone n be de ceived in this great question? It is i fact that these waters v given to tne State of Maine which ilea:- guar dian: and 1 make the legal proposition, Mr. President, that the Slate of Maine or this Legislature lias no right to open that question and I d sir non that question to submit as a rt of my arsurm*:»t a lc-’.v rilfttiuiis. the Colonial Ordinance of mi and 1C 17 these lakes came to the state of Mass achusetts and when Maine was separ ated from Mssachusetts by those ordi nances they bet a no tiie property of the State of Maine and the courts of this State have defined the purpose for which they were given to the State; and I propose always to be governed by the courts of this State and the law of the land. Under the Colonial Ordi nance of 16-11 and 1647 the State owned tin- great ponds as public property, held in trust for public uses. Now they tell n>, that to give it to this private cor poration for private greed is for “pub lic uses, oh no. It does not mean that. That is too narrow a definition oi "Public Uses.’*" In saying that it sliall be used for public uses, does it mean that the Union Water c,,. shall destroy tlie scenic beauty of the State? I’o.-h it mean that It shall give it to lids private corporation at Lewiston for the sake of private gain? Do you believe that? i not irifMn maay to say one word "r 10 do one thing to cripple there Brand industries, because they have prospered in the past tind we give them the same right to prosper in the futu e: I'tit. if they want to enlarge their in dustries and to do more business, there are other ways they can do it without destroying the lakes I11 Maine: and that u;is in the rase against Pall iliver, 107 Mass., which goes on to slate other eases which I will not stop to re.nl. ‘"I he public term use means a use which concerns an entire commun ity ns distinguished from a particular individual, firm, or private corpora tion." I'hese lakes are public property an.l Iho people of iMaino arc the guardians of that property. It is not necessary, however that every person in the com munity should lie directly benefited by its use. It is. however, absolutely es sential that every person should have a liffht in common with all other per sons to use the same upon the terms of equality. The Union Water Power e protected in the inter ests of Maine. Millions of dollars have been spent to beautify and adorn those lakes which are yet in their in fancy of development. Reside that we all know that in the last 20 years the State has spent a large sum of money (Continued on Page Five.) BASEBALL. Hanlon Says Brooklyn Club Is Not In Trouble. Denies Being Sold In Default Of $52,003 Judgment. Griffith’s Highlanders Are Enjc-ying “Three Old Cat.” Now York. March 7—Ned Hanlon is out with a denial of the story that in case the Brooklyn club is sold out in clef; tit of the $.".2,000 judgment obtained against the club by Hanlon. F. A. Abell and the Von der Horst estate, the Na tional League franchise will bo taken to Baltimore. Holden says the minority stockhold ers me re ly want to see the books of the club. Hanlon, who is in Baltimore, s;ti 1 yesterday: ‘•The suits against the Brooklyn club have been brought with no such pur pose of transferring the National League franchise from Brooklyn to Baltimore. Mr. Abell and mysell, unit ing with the interests of the late Von der Horst, are simply pleading for our rights, of winch we believe, we have beer, defrauded for several years by Mr. Ebhetts and those with him in con trol of the Brooklyn club. “We arc notv minority stockholders in the Brooklyn club, it is true, but we repre sent 49 per cent, and yet we have for two vears or more been kept in complete ignorance of the business af fairs of the club. When we were all in harmony, daily statements of the bus iness of the club were issued to all four principals. “Since -Mr. Ebbctts got control, neith er Mr. Abell, the Von der Horst estate nor I have ever had a figure to show what the club is doing. We have had no trial balances, though wc have asked r. peitedly for information, and w have never b-en represented in the: of fices of the club. In fact, if any an nual meetings of stockholders have have been held, as is required by law, we have been kept in ignorance of them, with one exception.” “THREE OLD CAT” Being Used By Griffith’s Highlanders In Practice. Atlanta. Ga.. March 7.—As a novelty in spring training. Manager Griffith of tin; Highlanders Wednesday introduced the old boyhood "three old cat.” and the players had hits of fun. In this game there are three batters, and when one is put out the others change positions until they gradually work th ir way to the bat. Contrary to bis usual methods, Griffith lias kept liis pitchers from working out their arms at till until they have had a few days’ work in the various positions which is possible in the game of "scrub.” So far not one of the pitchers lias warmed up with a regular catcher. Mo riarty proved the champion hitter at scrub, and it took them more than a half hour to gi t him out. He made si ven successive hits, and Griffith, who was playing left field, had to ye-ll for mercy. The Highlanders are great favorites here and full 200 people were out to see them practice, both morning and afternoon. PARENT JOINS BOSTON. Leaves Sanford Thursday for Boston and Will Go South.

I MAINE LEGISLATURE. (Continued from J’age Four.) for the propagation of fish. The scien tists tell us that It will draw down the water of these lakes and they do not fill up in the spring that you destroy the spawn. The best authority which I can get from the United States ash commlsloners says that if you do that you destroy the spawn of the trout and annihilate the fish in those beautiful lakes and that is un element which makes these lakes valuable. I am proud of these grand old lakes today as X s.-e them pictured out on that map (referring to the map hung in the Senate chamber). It would be a sorry day for Maine when a private c >r poration under the figment of drawing down that lake six feet—when as I say they do not need it, destroyed those if the water was shut off today, they would use coal. They can get coal here in Maine I am told as cheaply deliver ed in Lewiston as at Newport News or a great many other places which I might mention. They would not be destroyed. I hope they will not be de stroyed. I would not do a thing to in jure the industries upon the Andro scoggin river; but I do say, let us pro tect for the people of the State these grand lakes which are the pride of everybody. Shall we do it? We must cease giving away the francises of the State. A inan who has been here for five or six sessions of this Legislature well knows that there is hardly a stream in the S'tato of Maine upon which corporations have not got their grasp. Let us call a halt upon the greed of (he corporation of the State and protect these lakes and do not for get that, by the testimony before the committee they have not been injured within tlie last 20 years. Let them dam Rapid liver if they please, spend ing their money there but let the lakes alone because it is an absolute fact that the Union Water Company knows that they can save the water that runs away in the spring by darning Rapid river but they don’t want to do that because they would have to take the $40,000 which they get for selling water power and put $40,000 more with it to dam that river, but they would rather come to the Legislature of this State and by their powerful lobby which has been here for four or five weeks ac complishing in this way. I do not doubt Mr. President, that if they would take the money that lobby has used here this winter they could build half the dam on Rapid river. (Applause) What is the occasion of their coming in here? It is not only the Union Wat er Power Company Put the Great In ternational Paper Company and the Berlin Mill Company whose stock is holden outside of the State of Maine that comes in here and undertakes to destroy that portion of Maine which lies in that region. There is another principle involved in here that is worthy of consideration and that is the purity of these lakes and you will all agree with me about that. As the seme duty is governed by the high water that covers up the mud and rooks, so is the purity of the water, in the opinion of the best scion tits of the country, dependent on keep ing that water at a hight level and in drawing it down you destroy its puri ty and it comes polluted. Will any body gainsay that? If they do let them refer to the best scientists of this country upon that question and they will find that I am correct. Mil uu'se reasons, standing hero as I I do, I must confess that I am sue- prised that any senator in this body. in view of all the facts that cam*- be fore that committee will stand here and plead for the International Paper Company or the I'nion Water Com- pany which want to take the water from these lakes not only for the use of these mills but to sell to other cor porations and to pocket «very year $40,000 for such sales. I ti II you the people of Maine never w ill allow an t titering wedge to be made to the 4oo lakes of this State. We h ive given away too much, we have allowed corporations to creep Into almost every avenue of public service of tile State of Maine It is now time to call a halt. We shall not destroy the mills u|sm the Androscoggin river. I say again j that my Impulse* am for the greater, number and not for private corpora- I tions. I thank hcavt informa tion I mid g- i MS.. t dam Rapid river an I 'hey eould have saved $75,000 of that Ill-mi y. if they had gone to v.ork instead of coming down here. 1 I have no interest in this question except as a citizen of the state. I be li- v in the industries and I have never wilfully tried to injure the ineorpera tion of the State of Maine, tint have always endeavnrr-d to do what ray conscience has told me was right. As I go down the declivity of life T trust I Mill have no tormenting doubts and misapprehensions ns to whether or not I have done my duty in this ease. Let us say to the Union Water Company go and build your dam—but you ask too much of us when you seek to take these great lakes which have come down to us from our forefathers. As to m liirh we pledge the pe-ople that wo. would be their faithful guardians. Let us not betray our trust but keep them for public uses and for the benefit of everybody and let us say to the Union Water Company: We admire your in dustry and will aid you all we can. but you must not destroy these lakes in or der to increase or perpetuate your in dustry. I may not live to see it. but I ex pect that within 10 of 13 years you will find more property, more industries, more wealth around the Rangeley lakes than you will find In any similar amount of territory of the State of Maine and I would not be surprised to find more wealth around those beauti ful lakes than in the city of Lewiston today. ,r Mr. PHIUOOX of Androscoggin: Mr. President, it 1s Important and essen tial in all causes that there should be gentlemen to represent the interests of the rnrtirs. special pleaders. It is also as important that there should be a jury to determine the truth and pro bity of the testimony as given to ren der. as in their best judgment they may be able to do. the righteous and honest verdict. I make no claim to play the part of a pleader. The Almighty gave nie no power or talents in that direction to distinguish me in that line of work; but. as a Juror, selected to determine on a verdict I have a right, and as a matter of personal privilege to I de sire to state briefly some of the rea sons to dispose some of my verdict in the way of my vote would indicate. I am thankful that like the senator from Knox I have no special interest in cor porations in Maine or in combinations of men that will warp my judgment from the right so far as my poor at tempt can determine that right. I have in the past few weeks I have read with great interest and consider able labor and time, through the mis fortune of slightly Impaired sight, what has been called “The Lawson Add” as it appeared in the papers. I had listened to the arguments of dif ferent parties before the committee and to the testimony with great interest. I will come to the point at once and will say that I believe the one-twentieth part of the claim of the parties who are opposing this bill was founded on claim of the parties who are opposing ttiis bill was founded on substantial business judgment, I am sure I should vote No on the adoption of the ma jority report, if 1 believed the Union Water Company’s tabulations were lies or that the individual members of that great corixmition were liars or were falsely and maliciously mis leading the members of this Senate, 1 would of course vote against this proposition. 1 do believe that each cubic yard of water released from the lake and sent singing on its way to the sea to turn the wheels of the var ious and many industries on the An droscoggin river is worth more to the State of Maine and to the people of Maine than oceans confined within the limits of that lake which may invite a forty dollar man with a hundred dol lar rod striving to kill a twenty-five cent fish. (Applause.) 1 believe in the greatest good to the greatest number and I would inquire of the senator what has produced this great prosperity, this development of the State of Maine, if it is not the wa ter power. Often wo hear it said that our future depends on the railroads. It does, in a measure. But should we have railroads without the water powers? Never, the water power is tile whole system of our industries. I have no fears that my conscience will be bothered at any time and in any place in the future, as 1 answer before my Goil, that 1 vote for this measure and to support this majority report in the interests of the people, I will confess in violation of a senti ment that pervades my town, that has been developed and cultivated by these briilian articles of the scenic beauty of our lakes and forests. If I believe that the Uangeley lakes and the lakes in question would not fill and have not tilled to the extreme limit under the conditions under which this water will be taken in the winter months, by these heavy beds of snow and the spring rains and that every cubic yard of water would not be turned to dollars and cen.s for the benefit of our State, for the benefit of our laboring people, for the enlarge ment of our cities and tile velop ment of our populations and for the comforts of their families, I am sure I would vote against it. ror tnese reasons I am nrmiy con vinced, as a juror in this case and not as a i>lead»*r, that it is my duty that I support this majority report. Mr. RICK of Franklin: Mr. Presi (.lent, I will not detain you but a mo ment. As a resident of Franklin county and voicing the sentiment of every man, woman and child, in that county, I wish at this time to protest for ttu in in regard to this bill. That section that is situated on what is a very fine part of the State of Maine. It lias tlie grandest beauty of any part of Mainei; and we as citizens of Franklin county, enjoy its scenery and admire every foot of land and every drop of water in those lakes. As far as the Union Water Com pany is concerned, we all know that tin are for the interests of the Union Water Company. Tin y are anxious to de lire a little larger dividend. As the senator from Franklin county I have not been approached by any Un ion Water Power Company represent atives or their attorneys hut I have been approached by th International Pulp Company, by their attorneys and their representatives: and I think that this is a matter that interests the International Pulp Company as much as it does any other concern. It is a matter which inter ests tlie county of Franklin and I for one am very anxious, and I hope that this Senate will not support this bill. Mr. SKU A 1.1, f Sagadahoc—Mr. Pres ident, we are glad to have the senator fr im Hancock, the etiainr ill of tlie com mittee which r. port'oing done in our State today; and I isked him what he thought of this proposition. We turned to Moosehead. Tie said: The cun mission have just finished a survey f the region to the north of Moosehead, at Brasua Lake and at Attean Pond and at numer ous other places, we have found that water storage can be provided which will provide Moose head with all the power that can be ever used on its vast tributaries for row and forever, without disturbing that water level. And, he said, you can go to Itaugeley —you ean pro north towards Purrna ehe.t i ue hun dred and mi.t>• -1!i;. Wo the motion prevailed. A motion to reconsider the foregoln vote w today; and I see no reason why It shou.d not be taken up at th s time. 1 insist ujKin action on thiis matter at th« present time. The rpii-stion being put upon the mo tion to reassign the consideration of the ri-pons. the motion was lost. Mr. Tartre of York thereupon moved tin- acceptance of the majority report. 'Mr. STAPLES of Knox—Mr. President, i regret that I should he compelled to speak upon this mutter at this time, t regard it as of almost equal Importance as the one we have been discussing. Had any senator made a similar request of me I should certainly h ive granted It. In this Slate we all believe in scJ!f-g>v ornmerit. For the last H years in th-i city of Bkldeford they have had what is called a police commission—the onlv city in the State that Is put under guardian ship hv the Log.slature. What occasion there was for It between the two parties at the time they came down here and changed the matter over I do not know and I do not care to know. I only know that the city of Biddefi.rd, by an art of the Legislature, has bec-n placed under guardianship and divested of the right through her own people to govern her affairs. In the city of Bkldeford they have a “Boss Tweed” in a small way Charles B.

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT. Drop the Capital Moving Nonsense. (Waterville Sentinel.) The matter of submitting the ques tion of changing the capital of Maine from Augusta to Portland will come before tlie Legislature in a few days on an evenly divided committee report. In our opinion the report of legisla tion inexpedient- should be Adopted and we wish to present our reasons for our position in a calm and uniinpas sioned manner. To start jvith. why should Maine change her capital? Surely no one would contend that a change should be made without strong reasons being given for it. What reasons have been given? Tlie first argument was that Augusta did not possess adequate hotel facilities and that hotel rates there were exorbitant. 'i hue are only 1S2 members of the Legislature. Nearly all of them board at places other than hotels. Most of .hem are housed and fed comfortably and at reasonable rates. We admit that when the lobby crowd into Au gusta ir. a corporation light, the hotel accommodations are insufficient. That i.“ not a bad fault. It would not injure the State much if a large part of tlie lobby were obliged to sleep out of doors a few nights in February. Their argu ments before committees would be less I heated. Augusta met the hotel argument by agreeing to build what would be practi cally a new hotel. That ended the first lesson. Immediately Portland dropped the hotel argument and started in on tlie proposition that the oapitol building v.as unfit for use. That is not so. There is nothing the matter with the! capitol. Jt may need some repairs as! every building needs them from year to year. It may be slightly over crowded by unnecessary ofliee holders, a condition which would exist in a building twice as large if the State machine continued in power, but a comparatively small amount of money should pay for any changes or im provements necessary in the building. We do not believe that it would cost $50,000 to do all that really needs to be done. What other reasons are given for a change? None at all. If the hotels are! enlarged at private cost, if the present capitol is adequate for the State's needs, or can be made so at small ex pense. what argument for a change can be made? We think of none. We have heard none. There are arguments against any change. First, and from the standpoint of the taxpayer most important, is she expense. Portland says that the ex-1 pense is to be but $500,000. Even that j amount is too much to pay out r.n- j necessarily, but what is going to limit! the expense to that amount? The bill! passed by the Legislature? That is im- i possible. If the capitol building is be- j gun it must be completed. If the up- j propriation is exhausted another must be made. Portland's contribution is limited, the State must pay the balance of the bill be it much or little. At present prices of material and i labor no proper capitol building can be put up for less than double the con templated amount of $1,250,000. It may be that Mississippi where labor is cheap has built a line building for state use at a lower figure, but union stone cutters, masons, carpenters and paint ers do not work in Maine for negro wages. The next objection, and a strong one. is that the public have never asked for such a change and until they do ask for it. it should not be contemplated. If they had asked for it the sentiment of eastern Maine would have been in favor of Bangor. To all of this the Portland people answer that thiy only ask for a refer endum so that the people may decide the question for themselves. The strongest advocate of the referendum never proposed that any question should referred to the people except ing upon their request and on petition of a substantial per cent, of the voters. A referendum must lie preceded by a popular demand. There is none in iiiis case. i no more expense oi a special loo- i tion in Juno is uncalled for. That Mould fall on the State. The expense of a campaign is uncalled for. That would fall largely on the public spirited people of Portland and Augusta and in such a contest Portland's size and wealth gives her a groat advantage. It is simply shirking responsibility for the Legislature to submit the matter to a vote. The bill should be defeated where it originated, in the Legislature. It did not originate with tlie people. They ought not to he bothered with it. Portland is shocked beyond measure at tlie demand of rural lepresentatives that she should be taxed to support county bridges and highways. Would the Cumberland Representatives and Senators vote to refer the Sargent high way bill and the Donigan bridge hill to the people? Hardly. And yet those two bills carry, even at Portland's fig ure?. less appropriation tlian the silly scheme to change the seat of govern ment. The Legislature would be doing good work for the State, if it dropped this piece of nonsense and paid strict atten tion to serious matters for the remain der of the session.

When you begin t i realize that you have a stomach, it means that this organ is not in good condition, and it is reminding you of the fact. ho not feel discouraged and miser able because of the presence of indi gestion. It is the best tiling in the world for you if you can only see it ami give the stomach proper treat ment. Change the weak stomach to a healthy one by using Mi-o-na stomach tablets. This remedy is not a mere digestive, giving only temporary relief, but a combination of remedies that actually strengthen the stomach, ex cite the secretion of gastric juices and enable the digestive organs to care for food you eat in a natural, normal way. Ly taking a Mi-o-na tablet before each meal you can enjoy a good din ner without distress and suffering, and you will never know that you have a stomach. Bowditch, Webster Co., of Au gusta and Geo. W. Dorr of Waterville have sold a good many 50c. boxes of Mi-o-na stomach tubhils, and the more the remedy is used, the more friends it has, for every box gives satisfaction. It is sold under an absolute guarantee that the money will be refunded should Mi-o-na fail to give satisfaction. Bowditch, Web ster Uo„ of Augusta and Geo. W. Dorr of Waterville take all the risk, and the remedy will cost you nothing unless it cures. Waterville Notes. The little Mi-o-na tablets sold by Oeo. W. Dorr, the druggist, have be come deservedly popular. Mr. Dorr guarantees that Mi-o-na will make thin people fat, regulate digestion, and Increase health, or else there will be no charge for the remedy, and the pur chase price will be returned on de mand.

It's quite a job to shake him off. It'» hard to be 11 eve that all the pain and trouble he causes comes from such a little thing. Just a tiny bit of acid in the Lawrence Tuscany, blood the kid ntys haven't taken care of. Rut the kidneys aren't to blame. I used to think they were. Now I know better. It's thai over worked and over crowded stomach giving the kidneys part of its work and the kidneys can’t do it. I found this out with Cooper's New Discovery. It puts the stomach in shape, that’s all it does, and yet I have seen thousands of people get rid of the nmatism by taking it. That is why I am positive that rheumatism i» caused by stomach trouble. Here is a sample of letters I get every day on the subject. “For a long time I have been a victim of sciatica and inflammatory rheumatism, and my suffering has been too great to describe. For weeks I lay helpless with every joint in ptV body so tender and sore that I could not bear to move. The slightest touch would cause me the greatest agony. Several doctors treated me but they failed entirely. I tried many remedies but nothing seemed to reach my case, so I continued to lay helpless. M>' kidneys and stomach were affected also. I could eat but little, digest less and gradually my strength left I l°-ot flesh rapidly.” “I began the use of the famous Cooper medicines of which I heard so much. To my surprise and delight I improved immediately, and after using several bottles I felt like another per son. My strength and appetite re turned.

DAVIES of Yarmouth: Mr. Speaker. 1 move that the minority re port be substituted for the majority report, and I hope tlie House will per mit me to discuss the matter for a few moments—a matter which is purely of local importance. House Document No. 50 reads as follows: “An Act for the better protection of shell fish within the town of Yarmouth in the county of Cumberland. Section 1. No shell fish shall be taken from any fiats within the limits of Up town of Yarmouth, in Cumberland county, except by written permit of the municipal officers of the said town of Yarmouth and North Yarmouth, and payment to the said towns for the privilege at such price as said towns may establish at any town meeting, any existing laws to the contrary not withstanding: provided, that without such permit, any inhabitant within said towns, or any person temporarily resid-nt therein, or the riparian owner of such flats, may take therefrom for the immediate use of himself or his family, not exceeding one bushel at one tide. Sect. 2. Any person taking shell fish contrary to the provisions of this aet. shall be punished for each offence by a fine not exceeding $10 or by imprison nient not exceeding 00 days nr by both. I Sect. This act shall take effect when approved. 1 In the year 179S the flats at the front of four towns which bonb red on the sea; Yarmouth. Cumberland, Harps well and Freeport, were convoyed to the selectmen in the town of North Yarmouth by their various owners. North Yarmouth being the original town. When the town of Yarmouth was chartered and I think the other towns which were originally North Yarmouth canto into existence, the Act of 1X411 was passed, that the inhabi tants of.said town shall continue to hold and enjoy in common all the rights and privileges heretofore lx longing to the inhabitants of North Yarmouth. So that in the year 1X411 the various towns which came from and were made up from the town of North Yarmouth, owned the Hats, that is, the land between high and low wat er mark, in cmfimnn. Now. Kreejtorl, which borders us on the east at the last session «»f tin* IgfCjislatmv liail tiiisj law enacted: “Xo shell tisli shall he taken from any tints within the limits of the town of Freeport, in Cumber land county, except by written permit of tile municipal officers of the said town of Freeport, and payment to the said town for the privilege sit such price as said town may establish at any town meeting, any existing laws to the contrary notwithstanding: pro vided. that without such permit, any inhabitant within said town, or any person temporarily resident therein, or the riparian owner of any such tints, may take therefrom for the immediate use of himself or his family not ex ceeding one bushel at one tide.” You will observe that the language of ihe Freeport act is practically the same as that which is now pending. The town of Harpswell also passed two years lie fore, an art which is similar. The The phraseology of that act is the same in purport as the Yarmouth act. Bear in mind that the town of Free port and the town of Harpswell at one time both belonged to the town ot North Yarmouth. Fnder these two laws you will see that the towns of Harpswell and Freeport not only have the privileges of their own flats to the exclusion of everyone else, but they have the privilege of ours; and that we say is unfair. We want nothing more than to come in under the provisions of tiie general laws; and for that rea son there is nothing in the act which 1 ask for that is in any way related to or connected with special legislation. It is merely a method for our taking advantage of the general law of the State. All that wo liavo asked for un der tin- conditions of this local bill is that we may enjoy the benefits which would naturally accrue to us if the flats had not been owned in the year 17N9 in common. And since that time the towns of lYeeport and Harpswell have had special legislation which pre vents outsiders, not residents of those towns, from going then1 to take shell fish except under the license of the municipal officers; and you will bear in mind that those two towns were origin ally a part of the town of Yarmouth. Twenty years ago the taking of shell fish from thi' tints in that locality was a thriving industry. A elatn factory has been established in tile town of Cumberland, whit h is the cause of all tht> opposition lo this 1'ill. I hit if Freeport and Harpswell and Scarhoro anil various towns in Sagadahoc have been able to secure proper legislation for the purpose of the protection of that industry, I see no reason why it should not he accorded to us. I do not think it would be the sense of this Legislature that a number of individ uals who five'll in our town prior to the time when the elatn factory was oper ated, should be deprived of their live lihood and to which they wish to re turn at the present time. 1 realise that it may be said that some inhabitants of the town of Cumberland might also be deprived of a livelihood; but they have tile fishing industry to rely upon which we have not. A iiueslion arose ill the committee as to the number of miles of fiats which we have and which Cumberland has. Our frontage on tli« sea is not i|iiile so many mill s as that, of Cumberland, but at the head of the Yarmouth river there is a large pulp mill, and for .several miles down the river we find no clams because they cannot live on account of the waste from that pulp mill. Ho we have not a single mile more of fiats which can be used for tile purpose of digging clams than tin* town of Cumberland. I did not fulfil my duty before the com mittee if I failed to show that the law which we are asking for is not in any sense special legislation. It is exactly tin* opposite. Wo ask for the passage of a law which gives us the opportuni ty to operate under the general law, and without its passage we cannot avail ourselves of the rights and privileges of that general law, The statement was made before the committee that we were not properly there because of the provision of the statutes requiring’ notice on petitions, because we had served no notice on the town. The word referred to in the statute is “petition.” Hut this is not a petition, it is a bill, which Is an entire ly diffenent matter. It was properly ad vurtised and the town of Cumber land was properly represented here by counsel. I move that the minority report he substituted for that of the majority. Mr. BALDWIN of Hoothbay Harbor —Mr. Speaker, I hope this motion will not prevail. This matter was very eareftilly heard by tlie committee and the nommittee almost unanimously re ported that tile bill ought not to pass. Tlie opposition to this bill comes en tirely from the town of Cumberland. The p ople in Cumberland feel that it would he an injustivc to deprive them of the use of these lints which they have always had. In 1S95 this matter came up here under a bill to protect the siwll lishery of Cumberland and Yarmottil. This bill provided a close time fitom June 15 to September 15. This bilk recognized the fact that Cum berland had the use and occupancy of these ftius. So in view of the evidence that we bad before us we did not feel that it wits right that this bill should have a passage; and 1 hope the motion w ill not prevail. Mr. PKILUN of Falmouth—Mr. Speaker, the people of Cumberland be lieve thilt this bill is entirely wrong. It seeks to take from them rights which they have inherited and which they have* used from their earliest his tory. 1 :.fn not against the protection of clams. I have fought for it for years, I have done everything I could to help protect those clams and I am willing to do it now but I am opposed to this bill. I am opposed to the people of Cumberland being deprived of their rights. TTp to the time those towns were set off, these flats and the privi leges pertaining to them had been en joyed by there towns in common; and I doubt If they haven't those rights to day, all of those towns. The town of Cumberland owns In those flats eoual ly with the flpwn of Yarmouth. Now the people of the town of Cumberland object to the ttown of Yarmouth saying to them that they shall have the right to exclude them from those flats and that if they go there they shall fine and Imprison them. It is not a ques tion of the protection of clams; it is a question of whether the town of Yar (Centinued on Page Twelve.)

Mr. Jerome Much Surpiised At The Sudden and Unexpected Action. Mr. Delmas' Course Regarded As a Fitting I i max To Harry Thaw’s Defence. New York, March 7.—The decision late today of Harry K. Thaw’s law yers to close their case tomorrow without calling any more witnesses surprised no one more than it did Dis trict Attorney Jerome. The district at torney, expecting that the session to morrow would be devoted to the ex amination of more experts, devoted a good part of today preparing for them. When, late in the afternoon, he re ceived word that the defence had de cided to rest their case he was more or less puzzled. “I frill not be able to tell what act ion I will take tomorrow,’’ he said, ’until I hear in open court the words which assure me that the case of the defence has been finished. I am told now that their plan is to close their case as it stands, but their plans have been changed so many times since the trial began that 1 will not be sure of anything until I hear the statement in open court.” "In case the defence does rest to morrow, how long will the case last?” he was asked. "It seems to me that the evidence should all be in by Wednesday," he replied. "Then by giving the defence once day for the closing address and allowing me the same amount of time, the case should go to the jury some time on Friday of next week.” "Will you go to the jury with the case or will you ask for a commission in lunacy?” "On the evidence as it now stands I will certainly go to the jury,” replied the district attorney. "If there is noth ing between society and anyone who wishes to attack, hut a ‘brain storm’ we had better go back to the days of the frontier and pvery man take out a pistol.” Xt-w York, March 7.—There was an other quick turn of the cards in the trial of Harry K. Thaw late today when the defence announced that it had concluded to rest its case. It was barely 6 o’clock when Delphin M. Del mas, chief of tile Thaw counsel, called District Attorney Jerome on the tele phone and made the announcement. The district attorney was perhaps the most surprised man in Xew York, for it had been understood that when Justice Fitzgerald resumed the bench Friday morning at 10.30 the Thaw at torneys would call one of two alienists. Court will assemble tomorrow as planned, but what will be done is a question much discussed tonight. Mr. Dolmas will make the simple an nouncement: “The defence rests.” It will then be up to the district at torney to take up the rebuttal, but it was generally rumored tonight that af ti r a brief session adjournment would be asked and granted until Monday, that Mr. Jerome may mature his plans. Tlie sudden decision of tin- defence came after a conference of .Thaw's lawyers in Mr. Dolmas’ office late this afternoon. It is understood tiiat Law yers Daniel O'Reilly and Gleason were with Mr. Dolmas during the discussion as to the best course to pursue. When an agreement was reached Mr. Dolmas immediate ly notified the district attor ney. Henry Clay McPike, associated with Mr. Delmas. later called at Mr. Jer omes office and. it is believed handed the district attorney a letter. He re fused to discuss the situation. It is known that Mr. Delmas is busily at w >rk on a hypothetical question which will be propounded to the ex ports for the state. Mr. Jerome's move in tlie morning is awaited with inter est. There are numerous witnesses that couM b called in rebuttal, in eluding t

ALL DRUGGISTS; A SOc. AND $1.00. alienists for the state who have been in court every day since the trial open ed, studying Thaw. Howard Xesbit, a brother of Mrs. Harry K. Thaw, May MacKenzie and others have hern at call daily and may be summoned in the morning. The general supposition is, however, that adjournment will be takt n. it was understood tonight that the defence will attempt to conduct its cross-examination speedily, dealing very briefly with the alienists. How long Mr. Jerome will take on rebuttal is another question of importance. The case may close with this rebuttal, al though the defence has a chance for sur-rebuttal. On good authority, it was said that Dolmas would sum up for Thaw. This, too, has been a question under discussion. It was an evening of activity in the district attorney's office. Assistant District Attorney Xott was called in for the first time since the opening of the trial and with his chief and Assist ant District Attorney Garvan exam ined witnesses and went over the law authorities until a late hour. The close of the defence was with the testimony of Mrs. "William Thaw, mother of the defendant, and it was said that at today's conference it was decided that no better climax could have been reached by the defence. Several of Thaw's attorneys visited him at the Torres today and he was notifh d of their decision. Mrs. Harry Thaw visited her hus band early today and remained a long while. She seemed very bright and cheerful. Mrs. William Thaw and her daughters, the Countess of Yarmouth and Mrs. Carnegie, also visited Thaw during the afternoon. Mr. O'Reilly of Thaw's counsel tonight gave oat a letter which he said had been received by Thaw last month and which Thaw himself desired published. Thaw, however, refused to permit the name nf the writed to be made known. The loi ter follows: “February 9, 1907. “Dear Sir: It is wrong that nothing is done t counteract the (impression that Mr. II. K. Thaw has lived apart from go'll association except at his home in Pittsburg. “I hesitated in sending this informa te n as liis lawyers should dispel this bad feeding. Instead they stem to pay atten tion to nothing beyond his right in the trial. •’Mr. H. K. Tliaw has not only learned friends and scientific friends, but also others of the most conservative society. “When last his mother was abroad he gave dinners for her at wl.ich she met all the best elements of srciety In town, tin prim minister, the grand master of the court and their wives and the head of the best old Reman families. In Paris and London and other places he mad her vi'it most agreeable in the same manner. “Mrs. William Thaw would seldom leave her home in Pittsburg, but I know of one occasion when she was present at a larg- dinner where the other guests were well-known New Yorkers, including (The letter here gives the names of men and worm n prominent in New York so viet y). 1 think (mentioning the names of other men and women equally prominent with the others) were among the gue=ts. “Tile knowledge that Mr. Thaw has been but an irresponsible person before his terrible misfortune that may have at last deprived him of reason tempora rily, I hope from the good reports in the daily papers, can have no effect prejudi cial to liis interests I am sure but may create some sympathy for th" young man for whom I have always felt a sin cere regard. "Very faithfully. “An old friend of Mr. Thaw's. “P. F. I believe this dinner was in the Waldorf's private rooms about 1909.” “So far as we women are concerned, we consider the worst over.” said Mrs. Evelyn Thaw today in speaking of her husband's trial for the murder of Stan ford White. "Wo are all greatly reliev ed that Harry's mother's testimony has been given.” she continued. "The sus pense of waiting to be called bore very heavily upon her and all of us are happy to know it is over.” Mrs. Thaw called on her husband lr. tin Tombs early today and announced her Intention ef remaining there as long as the prison rules peimltted. Mrs. Wil liam Thaw. Mrs. Geo. Carnegie and the Countess of Yarmouth also called at the. prison today. Thaw received the usual large number of letters in the mail today. A number of them came from foreign countries. In the year 1814 the Thames froze and the English channel was for a time impassable because of icebergs. The coldest European winter on rec ord was that of nns-1709. it began early in October. In 1710, also, the cold was so intense that birds fell dead to the around. 4% We Pay 4 Per Cent on Time Deposits GRANITE NATIONAL BANK, of AUGUSTA, MAINE Dividend No. 117 Feb. 6, 1907 at the rate of 4 PER CENT PER ANNUM Augusta Savings Bank ORGANIZED SEPT. 29, 1848 Deposits July 11, 1906. 17,343,394.76 Reserve fund arid undivided profits. 430358.76 Total $732435331 Market value of resources above liabilities .$857,361.82 Dividends paid depositors since organization. $6389,71231 Deposits received on or before the 10th draw interest from the lit of the month.

Removal proceedings wore begun in tie House of Representatives Thurs l nay morning against Judge narry J. Chapman of the Bangor Municipal Court. This extraordinary procedure has been in the air the past two weeks, talked of in the corridors and more than hinted at in the press, but it re main'd for Representative Marccllus Dow of Brooks to introduce in the House a resolve “that both branches "f the Legislature, after due notice given according to the Constitution, wil! pit r eed to consider the adoption of an address to the Governor for the re moval of Harry J.

The charges in brief are that Judge Chap man has “wilfully and grossly refused i convict pci sons charged with the violation of the statutes prohibiting the sale nf intoxicating liquors in cases wilt re flu evidence was so strong and convincing that no person having the r. quisite qualifications for judge could d mbt their guilt: that he hoard cases of this character without Having the respondents in curt; that he habitu ally arraigned such respondents outside the dock or in his office, thus discrimi nating against the common drunkard and those charged with other crimes; that he has held hack warrants in liquor isos: that lie lias- refused to issue v. e.rrants for Illegal advertisements: tivat he is a director of the Madine Cigar Co. and that he promotes the business of that company through his official position; that lie has reversed his judgments against liquor sellers, and refused to enter appeals: and final ly that by the administration of his office he has encouraged and protected the illegal sale of intoxicating liquors. >t. motion of l’ep.

""Other songs which went well were ‘Under the Goo-Goo Tree," "Cordelia Malone’ and ‘I'm So Happy." The Whitney productions are usually noted for the elaborateness of their scenery and costuming, but Piff Paff Pouf, though the costumes were all that were required, had nothing to offer in the way of scenery. The "radium," dance, which was one of the features of the original production, was among the missing aiso. In :pite of this, however, the production was on the whole an excellent one. and tar better than some i cad productions of famous pieces which have been brought here in the past."

At the Opera House on Friday, March 15th, the long looked-for pro- duction of the Rev. John Snyder’s j drama, “As Ye Sow" will bo seen for the first time. The new play tells the storjl of two men—brothers—whose lives are spent in differing paths one man being a minister in a quiet Cape Cod town; while the other is a rover, sailing seas and visiting foreign climes. One bond, an unknown one to them, unties the men. They both love the same woman. She is the wife of the sailor and she loves the minister. The complications are worked out in the Rev. Mr. fe'nyder's play, together with enough of the comedy spirit to make the play entertaining as well as absorbing. William A. Brady and Joseph R. Grismer, who are producing the play have given it every advantage in the matters of interpreting company and scenic environment. They have provided five settings for the various scenes and one of the effects,- that of a storm off the shore in which a vessel is wrecked, is said to be sensational. CONDENSED DISPATCHES.

mouth shall assume these rights and exclude the town of Cumberland. Now, the town of Quinberland believes that it is unjust, they believe it is not fair and that it is not honest. Mr. THOMAS of Harps well: Mr. Speaker, 1 have always believed that in a great majority of cases silence is golden, but being a member of this committee and living on the shore ahd being acquainted with those peo ple there and knowing the circum stances, I wish to say that I joined with the majority of this dbmmlttee in reporting that the bill ought not to pass. I am surprised that the gentleman from Yarmouth (Mr. Da vies) should want a bill to pass this Legislature which some of the best lawyers of the State say will be un constitutional if it becomes a law. Does the gentleman want this Legis lature to pass a special act to take from those people the God-given right to earn their living by the sweat of their brow and in the way that they have always enjoyed in common? If this law was not unconstitutional It would still be very unjust. I have been informed lately that the people of the town of Yarmouth care but very little about this bill and that the people of North Yarmouth care nothing about it. I live where the waves of old ocean wash my very threshold. I have fish ed along the Atlantic coast from the shores of Block Island to the coast of Newfoundland, and I defy anybody to tell me anything about the needs of the people along our water front. I started out as a fisherman at the age of fifteen. I saw the last traces of land as It faded awy in the dis tnce, and the waves of the ocean rocked me to sleep and I woke only to find that I had been dreaming of home. I know something about the hardships of the fishermen along our water front, I allow no man to tell me of their needs; and if I did not think this majority report was Just I would never have agreed to it. Mr. Speaker, I hope that this bill will not have a passage. (Applause.) Mr. ORAM of Bristol; Mr. Speaker, I was on that committee and signed the minority report I was convinced on the testimony before us that wc should give the town of Yarmouth protection. All the towns that have asked for protection have received It. What would you think of a Legisla ture that would give to the town of A protection and give to B protection for their industries, and refuse pro tection to C? I believe that C should have the same rights under the same circumstances. So under those condi tions I refused to sign the majority report. The clam industry is a matter of great importance and unless a pro tective arm is extended to those towns which ask,for it, that industry must soon perish. I was the only one who signed the minority report. I did It from a sense of duty, from an hon est conviction brought about by the evidence which was produced before the committee. I ask this Legisla ture to accept the minority report when they only ask what you gave other towns two years ago. And why shouldn’t you give It to those towns to do Justice to ourselves and to our people? So I stand on the report which I made and I hope you will ac cept It and will render a just and true decision toward this town which Is asking for the protection of an in dustry. (Applause.) Mr. HILL of Maclilas: Mr. Speak er, I feel that so large a majority of this committee would not have decid ed as they did without valid reasons. But on the face of the matter it seems unjust that the town of Yarmouth should not have the same protection that Cumberland and Falmouth have. The commissioners of shore fisheries have expressed themselves strongly in the matter of the clam fishing in dustry and protection to our shell fish, and the bill presented today is only to give the flats of Yarmouth the same protection that the other towns have. The committee could only have decided against this bill for some rea son which has not been presented to Us. So far. the argument lias all been on the side of Yarmouth. I would like to hear from the majority of the committee why this decision was ar rived at. Mr. DAVIES: I understood the gentleman from Harps well (Mr. Thomas) to say that he had under stood that the people in Yarmouth were not generally in favor of the Mr. THOMAS: That Is v.-liat I un derstood. Mr. DAVIES: Were you present in the committee when a |>ctition was presented from the inhabitants, und do you know that there were nearly three hundred names on that "petition? Mr. THOMAS: No. Mr. DAVIES: Did you know that there was a petition presented by the Inhabitants of North Yarmouth? Mr. THOMAS: I believe there was. Mr. DAVIES: Do you know how many signatures there were on that? Mr. THOMAS: I do nol. I simply know that It is very easy to get up a petition. Mr. DAVIES: It is very easy to convey a false impression. Mr. SKILLIN': The gentleman from Yarmouth (Mr. Davies) said that ob jection was made by the committee that proper notice had not been giv en. I understood him to say that it was not on a petition but upon a bill. Now he says that there arc two peti tions, one from Yarmouth ami one from North Yarmouth; and if that is the case I think I was right in my objection and that they never should have been heard by that committee. Mr. DAVIES: I would say that the petitions support the bill. Mr. Skillin moved that when the vote was taken it be taken by the yeas and nays. The motion was lost. The question being on the motion to substitute the minority for the ma jority report, a division was had and the motion was adopted by a vote of 63 to 30. i The bill “An Act for the better pro tection of shell fish within the town of Yarmouth in the county of Cum berland," received its first reading. Mr. Davies offered an amendment by adding after the word “tide” in the eleventh line the words “nor shall the inhabitants of said towns of Yar mouth or North Yarmouth enjoy any privilege* In the Hats of the town of Cumberland.” Mr. SkllUn moved that the bill with the amendment be laid on the table. The motion was lost. The amendment was then adopted. The bill waa then read a second time. On motion of Mr. Barrows of Hamp den, the rules were suspended, the bill received its third reading and was pass ed to be engrossed os amended. First Reading of Printed Bills and Re solves.

The bill was read twice, and on motion of Mr. True of l’ort'an l. the rules were suspended, the bill received its third reading and was parsed to be engrossed. The follomng communication mas re ceived To thee Honorable Speaker and Members of thee House of Representatives: Gentle-men: I he reby tender my resig nation as a niemb- r of the House of Rep resentatives of the Seventy-third Legis latures from the town of Dan forth to take effect at once. Respectfully, VARNEY A. PUTNAM. Tho resignation was accepted. On motion of Hr. Leighton tf>f Wcst hrook. the voto was re-considered where by the; House voted to ask for a com mittee of conference on bill relating to I bench mark on Sc-bago lake. Mr. Leighton moved that the House re cede from Its former position and concur with the Senate in accepting the rcporc "ought not to pass.” Mr. MrKINNKY of Rrlelgton-Mr. Speaker. I feet it is due to myself and to my constituency that I say something at this time on this matter. This bill was not originally drawn by myself. It wap drawn by one of the best lawyers perhaps In the State of Maine and was put Into my hands to prese nt to this House. I was very glad to lntroeluce tho bill because it was a bill that interested several towns ir. the northern part of Cumberland oounty. Had I di-awn tho bill myself I would not have drawn so drastic a measure as this is. Hcrwever. tiie bill -was presented to the committee and there was a hearing on -it her.t which lasted from 2 o'clock In ’he after noon until 12 o'clock at night; -aid after a proper consideration. I suppose, by the committee, six members of that commit tee reported to this House that the hilt ought not to pass. rt»ur members did not sign the report. When that report cime Into the House I made a motion that the bill be substituted for the report and laid on the tabic, for printing, in tending to take it up »t a future tlmu and discuss it -in this House. Certain member* of the committee came to mo and said that they would like the report recommitted to tho committee for fur ther consideration. Out of courtesy to those members I acceded to that request, and a motion was mado by a member of tho committee to recommit tho Mil. There was a contest In -this House and on a vote It was carried by a majority of more than two to one. However, -when this reached the Senate, the Senate re fused to concur, and I asked for a com mittee of conference. It was my inten tion if I could get that bill before the House to amend it. because I believed it was not necessary to place the bench mark as high as the bill calls for. and neitlieT did I believe that It was neces sary to make that bench mark last through the entire year, and I was will ing to give the companies which wers opposed to this bill eight months out of the 12 In the year. I explained this to the committee of conference and endeav ored to have them recommit the bill to the committees. They unanimously de clined to agree and therefore I was oblig ed to report to this House that the com mittee could not agree. When that re port came before the House another member of the committee on interior wa ters moved that sve Insist and aslC for another committee of conference. Yester day, out of courtesy to the committee on the University of Maine, I laid that on the table until the close of the session when I asked that it be taken from the table; and It Is now before the House on a motion by the gentleman from Westbrook (Mr. Lclighten), practically to Indefinitely postpone the whole subject by reconsidering the vote of yesterday and concurring in the action of the Sen ate. Now, gentlemen, I do not propose to insist cn this committee of conference. I am very sure that had my friends not attempted to assist me—although their intentions were good and right and I thank them for ut—If I could have had that remain as I first made the motion, t-j substitute the bill for the report, T am satisfied that I could haye passed the bill in this House. I have become equally well satisfied at the presen 1 time that it is impossible ta pass the bill through the Senate. This bill is a bill iln the interest of the people. This bit! Is simply a bill to give to the people of my section of Cumberland county the rights that they have enjoyed for more than SO years. You know, perhaps, that in 1S21 a char ter was granted to the Cumberland and Oxford Car.al Company to build a canal from, the town of Waterford to the At lantic ocean at Portland. In order that they might navigate the canal, from tho foot of Sebago lake to Portland it was necessary that they should have there a dam; and it is admitted that they had permission U> build that dam. That dam becoming somewhat dilapidated in 1ST>7 it was necessary to rebuild it. It was re built by the S. V. Warren Manufacturing Company, I think, or at lease by the manufacturing companies on the Pre sumpscot river, they paying two-thirds of the cost while the canal company paid one-third. About 1S70 the railroad com pany built the Ogdensburg road and tho canal waa abandoned: it was necessary no longer. Now. I want to state here that it never was the Intention to dig a canal from the town of Waterford to tide water, but it was the intention to use Long lake, the Ray of Naples, the Sango river and Sebago 'lake as a part of the canal;,and from that time up to I think 18S7 when the last bill was passed by this Legislature giving away the. rights of the canal to the Presumpscot manufacturing companies—until that time they had a light to navigate those lakes and tho Songo river. Now we do not denv that by act of the Legislature tho Warren Company and other manufacturing companies on the Presumpscot river have the right to day to draw down the water below where it was essential to raise it in order that wo can navigate the lake; but we do say that when they hava had that rrivilego and that right up to 18S7. this Legisla ture has no right to take away from, tin people of tho northern part of Cumber land county the rights to navigate those waters. And all v.-e ask in this bill prac tically is to give us a bench mark suffi cient that our boats, not only our steam boats and passenger boats but our freight boats, may be enabled to enter the lake by Songo river and thereby carry their passengers and their freight from one end of those lakes to the other. Now I believe that the greatest ques tion before the people of the State today is our inland waters. There are bills be fore this Legislature to draw the waters of our lakes four or six feet below their general level. When tho day comes that the corporations of this State can destroy the waters of our lakes, can take them for manufacturing and for private pur poses. when they do that they commit an act against the State of Maine that is more far-reaching in its results than any other act which has ever been passed by the Legislature of this Stale. I am unfortunate in the fact that I stand here alone. I have no great lobby paid for by the rich corpor ations to assist me. In opposition to me our corridors have been crowded for the last four or five weeks with the most powerful lobby that this Sttfte ha:; ever known in opposition to the rights of the citizens who have sent me here to represent their interests. I say with shame as a member of this House that the lobbyists here today paid by the money of the corporations of this State, coming here to influence you and I to vote for corporate interests against tiic interests of the State is a dis grace to the Legislature of tho State and a disgrace to our State itself. We only ask the privilege of main taining the finest water route there is in the State of Maine or in any other State of this Union. We have men come from all over our land, from tho East and the West, front the North an(l the South, to enjoy the pleasure of that water trip. We have built hotels in our town. The people have come from New Jersey and New York, from all over the country, and built cottages that cost from $2000 to $12,000 because it was the most beautiful country that God lias ever made. These people would not come here if this route is destroyed. We have only asked the privilege of bringing into our commun ity those who would leave with us a hundred thousand dollars in our hotels and in our fanners’ homes that take boarders in the summer. We are ask ing the right for the people in the towns along tha? route to be enabled to run their canal boats through there in the summer season and carry their lumber and their products to the rail road. That is all wo have asked. We have not asked to destroy the rights of any manufacturing interest on the Presuinscot river, but we do ask that they divide with us. We offered them everything in reason but they have de manded their pound of flesh believing that their lobby and this Hiuse was sufficiently strong to govern the action of the House and the Senate. Gentlemen. I am in a position now where this bill cannot come before this House and therefore I have no oppor tunity to amend it. I have no oppor tunity to defend my people—not through the action of friends who be lieved that the motion made before this House would help me. I ain not ask ing you to vote against this motion. S. D. Warren Warren Co. is an hon orable company I have done ail I can do here: now I can only go to Mr. Warren in behalf of the people and ask him to use judiciously the waters of these lakes that we may have an op portunity to live as well as he. 1 shall not even vote against the motion which the gentleman lias made. I have done my duty as far as I can to my con stituency. I stand here today to mak: I NATURE PROVIDES FOR SICK WOMEN t more potent remedy in the root* and herbs of the field than was ever produced from drugs. In the good old-fashioned days of our grandmothers few drags were used in medicines and Lydia E. Pinkham. of Lynn, Mass., in her study of roots and herbs and their power over disease discovered and gave to the women of the world a remedy for their peculiar ills more potent and efficacious than any combination of drugs. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound 9 a VIII IIP. Is an honest, tried and true remedy of unquestionable therapeutic value. During its record of more than thirty years its long list of actual cures of those serious ills peculiar to women, entitles Lydia E. Pinkham s Vegetable Compound to the respect and confidence of every fair minded person and every thinking woman. When women are troubled with irregular or painful functions, weakness displacements, ulceration or inflammation, backache, flatulency, general debility, indigestion or nervous prostration, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy, Lydia E. rmk ham’s Vegetable Compound. No other remedy in the country has such a record of cures of female ills, and thousands of women residing in every part of the Lnited States bear willing testimony to the wonderful virtue of Lydia L. Pinic ham’s Vegetable compound and what it has done for them. Mrs Pinkham invites all sick women to write her for advice. She has guided thousands to health. For twenty-five years she lias been ^vising sick women free of charge. She is the daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pink ham and as her assistant for years before her decease advised under her immediate direction. Address, Lynn, Mass. _. these remarks simply that niy con stituents may know and the people of the .State of Maine may know that I have fought for the people and for the rights that God gave to them when he made this beautiful State of Maine, the grandest state on the face of the earth for six months at least in the year. I have travelled all over this land, T have travelled in foreign lands. 1 have seen some of the finest scenery there is in the world, and yet there is no spot on the face of the earth that is equal to the State of Maine with her lakes, her forests and her rivers—no place so beautiful for a summer homo as in the State of Maine. Born in the State of Ohio. I am not a native of Maine. My children were born here and have gone out into the world to seek their fortunes. I am now a resident of this State, and while I am a resident I will stand by the State of Maine and her beautiful waters that God lias placed here in our midst. Gen tlemen, I am willing to leave this mat ter in your hands. X speak not for the motion nor against the motion. I leave it for the members of the House of Representatives to settle this matter as they deem right. (Applause) Mr. JACOBS of Athens: Mr. Speak er. the remarks of the gentleman from Bridgton seems to throw some light on the action of the committee. I am not aware that there was any division in the committtee c.n this matter. I learned from the gentleman from Bridgton that the committee stood six to four. That is something I did not know anything about. I thought it was settled when this committee after sitting in judgment from 2 o’clock un til 12 at micjtiight and listening to the evidence and, arguments, and I think their decision Was a wise one that this bill ought not to pass. Mr. SGATES of Westbrook: Mr. Speaker, I want to say to my friend from Bridgton and to every member of this House that the citizens of West brook and the people along tlie banks of the Presumpscot river do not want, never have and never will draw the waters of Sebago lake below their na tural level. We do not want to draw them down to their natural level. Now what more do you want? Talk about Bridgton—Sebago lake could dry up and blow away and in 10 days Bridgton would never know the difference. She don't depend upon Seliago lake for her existence, but how would it be with the city of Westbrook with her 8000 people? Westbrook would be wiped from the luce of the earth. I wisli to say further that I have no interest in the personal fortunes of any manufac turers only so far as they pertain to the interests of the city of Westbrook. Mr. BRIGHTON of Westbrook: I want it fairly understood that I have not been round in this lobby this win ter: I have kept my mouth entirely shut. 1 understood the committee was a unit on this question of the bench mark. 1 am on the committee hut I did not understand that there were four against me on that committee. I ant not here lobbying for any corpora tion. X work for one of the most hon orable corporations on the face of God's earth or in the State of Maine. And what would Cumberland county be without the water of those lakes? We depend on those, 1275 of us in the S. I). Warren Co., and the rest up along the line—Soutli Windham with one of the best woolen mills, one of the best pulp mills. Sacarappa with one of the best silk mills, one of the best electric light plants that belongs to the city of Port land, and where would these works have been if it had not been for this river company? These people of Bridgton would have had nothing. T stand here as a representative of 2200 people who work for a living. We can not afford to burn coal and compete in the markets. No one -in the State of Maine can compete with the South and the West by burning coal. It would double the cost of the horse power. We ask nothing but common right. Mr. FLAHERTY of I’ortiand: Mr. Speaker, while listening to this dis cussion here I think the paramount issue would be the advantage this bench mark would be to the city of Portland. We have letters here front the chief engineer of our fire depart ment in Portland saying that at times the water is inadequate to meet the demands if a conflagration should occur in Portland, and I know the people of Portland ^hink that this bench mark if established would pro would be no disadvantage; and the principal thing is to protect Portland. The question being on receding and concurring with the Senate, The motion was agreed to. On motion of Mr. Peacock of Lu bec, the rules were suspended and that gentleman presented the follow ing order: Ordered, That the Clerk be and he is hereby instructed to make up the pay-roll and mileage of Varney S. Putnam of Danforth in full to the end of the session. The order received a passage. On motion of Mr. Joy of Kden, bill. An Act to incorporate the Winter Harbor anti Eastern Railway Com pany, was taken from the table. On further motion by Mr. Joy the vote whereby tlie bill was passed to be engrossed was reconsidered. Mr. Joy offered an amendment to Section three by inserting after the word "mentioned'’ in the fourth line the words "excepting the city of Ells worth.” The amendment was adopted, and the bill was then passed to be en grossed as amended. On motion of Mr. Knowlton nf Mon son, the bill to abolish Fast Day and create Patriot's Day was taken from tile table. Mr. KNOWLTON: Mr. Speaker, I when 1 moved to lay that bill on the table I did so in good faith. I do not like/to see those old tilings that we have enjoyed in the past done away with without the tribute of a sigh, i j know in the^e practical days a lot of those good old things are regarded as too slow, and the argument in favor i of abolishing Fast Day is that it is not kept as it ought to be and as it used to be. I admit that. That same argument would abolish almost every holiday we have. The Fourth of July instead of being a day devoted to patriotism is one devoted to rowdy ism now-a-duys mostly. Wc used to keep a good many anniversaries, but I am sorry to say many of them are not kept very well now. We used to keep our birthdays; we don't do thst very much now-a-days. We used to celebrate our marriage day: our di vorce courts have made it Very dis agreeable to do that now-a-days. J admit that we do not keep Fast Day as we ought to, but I cannot forget that those good old Pilgrims—and I thank God they lived and I am equally thankful that I did not live when they did—established that day, one day in which they could especially ask for the blessing of Heaven to come upon them. I am inclined to think we ought to keep it today. I am inclined to think that it would not be a bad idea to have our Gover nor once in two years try his hand at a little religious writing; and further more I am inclined to think if we sub stitute Patriot's Day instead of Fast Day that there would be very little of the Battle of Lexington talked about on that occasion. Baseball and horse trots would occupy the time. Bui had I known that my friend from Portland (Mr. Jordan) had introduced this bill I should not have tabled it. The bill came in as a logical sequence of conditions. Portland is in favor of new things—new State House, new water board and a new day of cele bration. And so 1 withdraw all ob jection I have to the passage of that bill, but I could not do so without protesting in my own feelings and to this House against the idea, and I would oppose it most heartily did the gentleman from Portland not assure me that he was in direct communica tion with a great many clergymen and that they were In favor of abol ishing the day. Mr. JORDAN of Portland: Mr. Speaker, I introduced that bill that the anniversary of Lexington should be substituted as a holiday and be known at Patriot’s Day. This is in line with the action which has been taken in Massachusetts where Fast Day has been abolished and Patriot’s Day substituted. Practical as well as sentimental reasons seems to justify this action, because Maine people as well as those living in Massachusetts should avail themselves of this oppor tunity to exchange days. I see no good reason why this change should not be made. Mr. WALDRON of Dexter: Mr. Speaker, I had hoped that the gen tleman from Monson when he arose, arose for a different purpose. I am not opposed to the adoption of a new holiday. I don't think we have ■enough, but I am opposed to the abo lition of Fast Day, and I am going to move that this bill be indefinitely postponed. It is good day, it is an ancient day, it is a part of the history of the State of Maine. I move that the bill be indefinitely postponed. Mr. XEWBERT of Augusta: Mr. Speaker, X cannot see why any man should stand on this floor In these modern days and champion Fast Day. I was a minister for 17 years and I never read a proclamation of the Gov ernor that did not strike to my storA ach ^vlien lie called upon the people of Maine in these modern days to fast and pray on a certain day in spring time, when no man. no woman and no child obeyed the Governor and the Governor expected no person to obey that proclamation. It ought to be called by the different name, it ought to be written "Ir-a-r-c-e'’ Day. I think we ought to be reasonable and rational and honest on these ques tions. In the land of its origin it has been put aside and Patriot’s Day put in its place. I sincerely hope that the motion to Indefinitely postpone will not prevail. Mr. McKlNNBY of Bridgton: Mr. Speaker, I have been a clergyman for 37 years and alvwiys when I have read the Governor's ^proclamation, I have said to myself, *^What folly.” You cannot find a church In this country that can get a congregation sufficient ly large to Justly a minister in preaching on Fast. Day. If there Is any time in the >*?ar when we/ want to rejoice it is whfen the Ice bonds of winter are broken and when the laws of nature take hold; of everything and bring It forth Into jiew life and every heart Is made to rejoice because of the warm sunlight that once more en velops the world. But to ask the peo ple of this day and age of the world to fast and pray for .fear the Lord will do some harm to us is perfect folly. I believe in praying every day in the year, but so far as fusting is concern ed th^ might have. fast days as of ten as they please, blut for myself and family we should h«ve food the same as on every other da y. Mr. WALDRON: I did not sup pose I was going to be opposed by the ministers of the gospel, for instance, by both of these gentlemen who were but who aro not i now ministers, and are now politicians who didn’t use to be. It is all explained, t Applause*. jp. JlcKIXXEY—I have been for a good many years both a minister and a politfc’lan and I propose to continue. Mr. .WALDRON—I am sincere in mak ing tliA motion I did. and I say now that you take a bad step when you abolish I-’ast day. and you will find when you go out overhe State that the general run of llio peonie want Fast day retained. This is a proper day and a just dny even If ot is not in accord with tho idea of modernizing everything over ns tho gen tlemen have modernized their religion. Mr. BROWN of Auburn—Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask these two cjentlemen who ore speaking against Fast day If they don’t ImatTln*' the Apostle Paul had some reference to this when ho said that some should denari from the faith? I would ask ir the Scripture does not apply when it says that- wo should inouire for the good Old ways and walk in them? Mr. PERKINS of Alfred—Mr. Speaker, I rise to second the motion of the gen tleman from Dexter. Mr. NEWEERT—I did not know that this House was so religious; 'With this large Democratic minority I am amazed that there is so much religion here. I did not suppose that this question would be seriously discussed in the State of Maine. Jf it is to be discussed lit is tho chance of a lifetime for a humorist. The idea of trying to hold on to this day. I never knew a man to be a better relig ious man became he is hungry. I prefer to be full. Mr. DENTON of Belfast—Mr. Speaker, it n>i:ms to devolve on the Democracy 13 support the recommendation of our Governor in his inaugural address to abolish this Fast day. He recommended it very strongly in his address, and I have no doubt lie was actuated by feel ings of extreme reluctance to further en gage in this gigantic farce in making that recommendation. I was a member of the committee that reported this bill and l take this occasion to express my desire that it may pass and I still insist that it ought to pass. The question being on the motion to in definitely postpone the bill, a division was had and the motion was lost by a vote of 36 to 55. Mr. WALDRON—Sir. Speaker. I desire to change my vote from the affirmative to the negative. The SPEAKER—Tho gentleman desires to change his vote. The vote is now 35 to 56. Mr. Waldron 'then moved to reconsider the vote whereby the motion to indefi nitely postpone was lost. The motion was not agreed to. The bill was then passed to be enacted. On motion of Mr. McKinney of Bridg ton, resoive relating to reprinting Maine reports was taken from the table. Mr. McKINNEY—Mr. Speaker. I move to indefinitely postpone the bill. T laid this bill on the table because I did not believe it twao a just bill. This resolve is as follows: Resolved, That Leon F. Higgins be and he is hereby authorized and empowered to reprint and publish all the Maine re ports heretofore published, and the State librarian, under the direction of tha Governor and Council. Is hereby author ized and directed to contract for not ex ceeding one hundred volumes of each number for the use of the State, at a price not to exceed two and one-half dol lars per volume, the same to be delivered as each volume is completed. This resolve calls for the republishing of all the Maine reports. There are a j hundred reports that have been publish ed. and this gentleman proposes to re publish those reports and the State libra rian under the direction of the Governor and Council is authorized to contract for 100 volumes of each number for the use of the State at *2.50 per volume. It will post the State of Maine *25.000 to pur chase these 10.000 volumes. I have been lintormed by those who know that those j volumes can be printed for *1.75 a volume We are to pay *2.50 a volume for 10.000 volume*, arid then give the publisher the right to Sf-u those books to whom ho rleascs. The State librarian says that there is no need of them whatever, that if he had the books he does not know what to do with them except that they I would be stored in the library to be car I lied away. I have spoken to the Gov ernor and he says it k entirely unneces sary to republish these reports. Now. the question is, whether we want to pay out $25,000 in order to help one man to 1'uWish the reports. I have talked with many of the lawyers and they are al most unanimously opposed to It. as 1 un derstand it. I don’t believe that this State desires to vote away *25,000 for this purpose. On motion of Mr. Steams of Norway, the rerolve was tabled and tomorrow morning assigned for Its further consid eration. Or motion cf Mr. Mllliken of Tslar.d Foils, bill in favor of re-establishment of boundaries of public lots in planta tions, was taken from the table. Mr. Millikcn offered a statement of facts to be added to the resolve, and the resolve as amended was then passed to be engrossed In concurrence. On motion of Mr. Tolman of Portland Adjourned. In the California Senate Thursday Senator Caminetti’s bill providing that the discontinuation of separate schools of Japanese shall be decided by a vote of the people in the city In which the schools are located, was de feated by a vote of 12 to 20.
