Two Eu4nd TbouBSA THE BRITISH PUBLIC ANGRY WITH KAISER. Thinks He Tried to Influence Their Naval Policy—Lord Tweedmouth In a Very Uncomfortable Position. London, March 6.—An outburst of an ser against Emperor William by the British public, equalling that caused by the German Emperor’s famous telegram to President Kruger in 1S9G after the defeat of the Jameson raid ers, has followed the announce ment made this morning by the Times that Emperor William attempted to intluence the British naval policy by a secret correspondence with Lord Tweedmouth, first lord of the admi ralty. The German Phobe party, which never was stronger than now, imme diately jumped to the conclusion that Emperor William was trying to med dle in the most vital matter in Great Britain's national interests by under hand methods. The public at first shared that view and Parliament, the newspapers and the diplomats had the greatest sensation they had enjoyed for many days, and the matter was considered so serious that Lord Tweed mouth broke his customary silence, saying the letter from the German Em peror is purely a personal communica tion and there is no reference in it to British naval estimates.” Lor i Tweedmouth visited the House of Commons this afternoon and con ferred with the Liberal leaders. The cabinet met afterwards. It had been announced at first that Hebert Henry Asquith, chancellor of the exchequer, would make a statement concerning the nutter next Monday, but the pub h was so excited and so many mem bers of Parliament had given notice that they would ask questions in the Tower house about the correspondence that the cabinet decided something must be done at once. Mr. Asquith ap peared, therefore, in the House of t'oimnons at the close of its sitting and made a biief statement to a crowded house, elaborating, amid profound si lence, Lord Tweedmoutb’s explanation, that the correspondence was purely pt rsonal. It was affirmed." declraed the chan cellor,” that on Feb 1S, Lord Tweed mouth deceived a letter from the Ger man Emperor. It w.as a purely person al and private communication, con served in an entirely friendly spirit. My noble friend's answer was eciually private and informal and neither the letter nor its answer was known or communicated to the cabinet. I may add, in view of certain suggestions which have been made, that before the letter arrived the cabinet had come to its final decision with regard to the naval estimates for this year." These explanations only stimulate curiosity and criticism, instead of ap peasing them, and a strong demand is heard everywhere for the publication of both letters. Nothing else will satisfy thc British public, and probably this will be done eventually. The only information regarding Em peror William's letter which have leaked from the inner circle are that it is an attempt to refute frequent as sertions in leading English newspa pers that, the German naval program was animated wholly by hostility to ward Great Britain. If this proves to be the true version of the incident, the whole sensation may collapse as sud denly as it grew, but if the letter was of a nature suggested by the Times it will be equally as damaging to the government to publish it or withhold it. unless Lord Tweedmouth should he Wpudiate'd and thrown overboard. The present position of the affair em barrasses the government immensely and brings a shower of criticism upon Lord Tweedmouth. It would l>e n delicate mat ter to ask Emperor William's permission to publish a private letter and lie may voluntarily authorize that this he done. If tlie relations between Great Britain and Germany were not so strained the action in writing the letter would he con sidered merely a technical mistake, luit Germany is a bugbear to a largo propor tion of the British people, who firmly be lieve she is deliberately planning war and is trying to soothe British suspicion un til she is ready. Emperor William has tripd hard lately- to gain English frif the rights granted an American company of over 500,000 hectares of land, as well as the PUBLICITY. _____ Brewers Adopt Campaign Plans Against Prohibition. Will Extend Work of Organiza tion All Over Country. To Investigate the Conditions For Public Benefit. Chicago, March 6.—A campaign of publiciay counteract the effect of the present prohibition wave was decided upon by the board of trustees of the t’nited States Brewers Association at a meeting held here yesterday. Tiie meeting was attended by Colonel Gustav Pabst of Milwaukee. Edward A. Faust of St. Louis, William Hamm of St. Paul and other leading brewers from all parts of the country. The object of the gathering was to extend the work of the organization committee now go ing all over the country under the aus pices of the association. Many of the brewers had just returned from a big brewers’ meeting in New Orleans and reports were given from a number of j Southern states, particularly Georgia, Alabama and Texas, showing that pro hibition in towns that have gone “dry," in those states has been a failure. Tiie board decided to investigate con ditions all over the country witli ref erence to tiie liquor business, both in i “open and in “dry” communities, and j to publish the results for the benefit j of the country. Literature on the economic aspects of the business and l oilier phases of the traffic will be pre I pared by the organization committee J and distributed in every city and com munity in the nation. Julius I.iebmann of New York, presi I dent of the association presided. Ar mng. ments were completed for the an I nual convention to be held in Mii I waukee on June 6-7. 1 -1 concession giving the forest and min eral company exclusive mineral and timber rights over 1,000.000 hectares.

Mother-in-law and Lynch Both Oea!t at Avon, Conn. Mrs. Lynch Cannot Live—Perpetra tor oftthe Deed intoxicated. Avon, Conn., March S.—what doubt less will develop into a double murder and suicide occurred here today when John J. Lynch,, 30 years old, went to the home of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Catherine Dittman, killed her, shot his wife twice through the breast and then killed himself. It is thought that Lynch implored his wife to leave her mother's home and live with him, and on her refusal he shut up the house. Mrs. Lynch is not expected to live through the afternoon and Coroner Knight of Hartford, is making arrange ments for a triple autopsy late in the i day. Lynch, W'ho it is reported, had not ben living with his wife of late, went to Mrs. Dittmans house, where his wife was staying and after a short argument with her, pulled a revolver and sent two bullets into her lungs. The mother-in-law, who was nearby, attempted to run from the house and just as she was outside. Lynch fired at her and the woman dropped to the ground lifeless. After his murderous work Lynch walked to the woods, a short distance from the rear of Mrs. Liftman's house and put a bullet into his head, dying instantly. Lynch, it is reported, was in an intoxicated condition when he ar rived at the Dittman house The house where the tragedy oc curred is known as the old Cliidsey place, and was frequently referred to as the "murder house" owing to the mysterious murder there .30 years ago of the Miss Chidsey, two aged spin sters. The women were slain in the house and no one was ever convicted of the crime. Lynch was employed by the Climax Fuse Co., and had always borne a fair reputation. Records Go Smash At Ormond Beach.

Washington, March 6.—A resolution, providing for an investigation of the charges made by Mr. Lilley of Con necticut that members of the naval af fairs committee were unduly influenced in recommending certain submarine torpedo boats, was reported to the House of Representatives today by Mr. Dallzel of Pennsylvania from the com mittee on rules and adopted by the House. The subject has been under consideration Ly the committee for two weeks. The resolution follows: “Whereas, Mr. George L. Lillev, a representative from the state of Con necticut on his responsibility as a member of this House, before the com mittee on rules, has among things stated in substance that the Electric Boat Co. of New Jersey and their pred ecessors, the Holland Boat Co. have been engaged in efforts to exert cor rupting influence on certain members of Congress in their legislative capac ities, and have in fact exerted such corrupting influence. “Therefore, he it resolved, That a committee of five members be appoint ed to investigate the charges made by said George L. Lilley of corrupt prac tice on tiie part of the said company and of members of the Congress with respect to legislation and that said committee shall have authority to send for persons and papers and to take testimony in Washington or elsewhere by the full committee or any sub committee thereof. Said committee shall report as speedily as possible, with recommendations of any to the committee as shall seem meet. Accompanying the resolution was a report declaring it to bo due to the House and its members that an inves tigation should be made. Speaker Cannon announced the fol lowing members as the committee to conduct the investigation: Messrs. Boutell, Ills.; 4Steveils, Minn.; Olmsted. Pa.; Howard, Gu.; and Boussard, La. Without a dissenting voice the reso lution was adopted. Lilley was present but made no remarks.

FUNERALS HELD, All Day Friday Devoted to Burial of Children Who Perished In Flames at Schoolhouse Fire. More Funerals Today and Sunday •••Coroner’s Inquest Begun. Cleveland, Ohio, March 6.—Collin wood today came to a full realization of her woe. Slowly and solemnly the processions of death began to wend their way toward the cemeteries, hear ing the battered and charred remains of some of the 167 children whose lives were snuffed out in Wednesday morn ing's catastrophe in the Lakeview school. From 9 o'clock in the morning until dusk there was no cessation in the funeral corteges. One of the sad funerals was that of the throe children of Janitor Hirter, held jointly with the services for three other little ones. Mutterings against the janitor could be heard about the village as grief crazed parents sought an object upon which to v. reak vengeance, forgetting as they did that Hirter himself was walking with* bowed head and broken heart behind the biers of three of his beloved. A detail of police was placed about the Hirter home when the hour for the funeral came. Fully 500 per sons had gathered, but whet) the coffins were carried to the doorway the crowd spread and opened the way for them without protest or expression of hos tility. Altogether there were 50 burials to day and tomorrow the gruesome task will be repeated. Sunday will witness the last of the individual burials and on Monday the remains of all tho se who are unidentified will be laid to rest with one funeral. Tonight there are 28 of these bundles of flesh that await claimants. Testimony describing the mad rush to death of the school children was given today at the continued session of the coroner's inquest. Stories of heroism on the part of the women teachers were recited. F. H. Whitney, superintendent of the Coll in wood schools, stated his belief to be that no fire department could have done any effective work after the fire had start ed. Two of the teachers described their unavailing attempts to open one of the double doors at the rear which they said were locked. The inquest also developed that after the first crush at the door, it was beyond human pos (Continued on Page Twelve.) NEW LIGHT ON SUDDEN DEATH OF W.F. BAKER. The Investigation During Several Months Reveals New Facts on Which Coroner’s Jury Will Act. Xeu- York, March 6.—The mysterious death ot Walter F. Baker, the wealthy young Boston man, which caused a sensation last October, Is to be the subject of further investigation by the officials of Bogota, N. J., where the death occurred. It was announced to day tlifit District Attorney Koester and Coroner A. D. Lees have decided to hold a formal inquest and probe to the bottom all the circumstances sur rounding Baker’s death. The body of the dead man, which was buried in Boston soon after his death, is now in Xcw Jersey awaiting the empanel ling of a coroner’s jury. It was ex humed Jan. 22 and brought to New York the same day. From New York it was taken immediately to Ridgefield Park, N. J., the same day. and has been lying in the rooms of an under taker since that time. The decision to probe further into the circumstances surrounding Baker's death was reached after a corps of private detectives had been at work on the case for many months. The rel atives of the dead man had expressed dissatisfaction with the manner In which the ease was disposed of at the time of (he death and It was on their initiative tiiat the investigation was begun and continued until the New Jersey officials decided once more to 'take tlir matter in hand. Baker left a fortune estimated at about $000,000. For several years before his death lie had been well known in New York as a frequenter of fashionable res taurants and cafes. During his frequent visits to this city he often made hla head quarters at the home of hla friend, Frank Hurd, at Bogata. It was at Hurd’s home that he died after being stricken sud denly 111 in a New York restaurant, and Hurd’s young daughter, Natalie, a little child, was the beneficiary under Baker's will. She received $200,000 outright from the estate. The little girl never came (Continued on Page Five.) WAITT BOND'S TOTEM CIGAR Without axeeptlen the Iml Five Cent Lendra made la Um United Stetaa.

It used to tie considered that ouljr urinary and bladder troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all diseases have their beginning in the disorder of these inosi important organs. The kidneys filter and purify the blood— that is their work. Therefore, when your kidneys are weak or out of order, you can understand how quickly your entire body is affected and how every organ seems to fail to do its duty. If you are sick or “feel badly,” begin taking the great kidney remedy, Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, because as soon as your kidneys are well they will help all the other organs to health. A trial will convince anyone. If you are sick you can make no mis take by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr, Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy, is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases, and is sold on its merits by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar size I ljottles.

IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS. BASEBALL. Red Sox Gut Loose In Prac tice at Little Rock. New York Giants Enjoy Bar becue at Marlin Springs. Herrmann Trying to Make Deal For Reds—Some Decisions. Little Hock. Ari;., March 0.—Tile balmtst or weather, the warmest of sunn and a delightful breeze made the first day's practice of the Boston Ameri can team ideal. They did not obey orders They went the limit in throw ing, running and catching. They slammed the hall for keeps and then ran a good half-mile about the track to make it perfect. Therefore their feet are mighty sore, but they did not get a mite of sympathy from Trainer Green or Manager McGuire, who told them what to expect If they cut loose. Cravath rapped tin* ball savagely and convinced McGuire, accord ingly. that in this hard-hitting player from the coast he lias got hold of a man who may make Cobb and Crawford look to their laurels. He swings freely at the ball, and when he meets It the spheroid travels. Gessler also showed up nicely at the bat and lilt them out in good shape. Toung McConnell, who carries a bat wall, and when it came to laying down bunts no one had anything on him. GIANTS ENJOY THEM SELVES mT BARBECUE. Marlin Springs, Tex..

The showing made by Mathewson •nd McGInnity was particularly good, both pitchers using speed and curves. The Infield play was very fast and ac curate. Devlin, being the only player who showed lameness, but he pluckily continued. The players even at this early stage showed much team work.

Ormond, F!a., March 6.—The two miles-a-minute race in which the win ner must equal or exceed a speed of 120 miles an hour was one of the most interesting events of the final day's program of the automobile tourna ment on Ormond-Daytona beach.

BASKETBALL

BATES BASKETBALL B’S. Lewiston, Me, March fi.—(Speoiri1) —The following men have made the:r basketball letter this term: Shit maeher '08, Bishop 'll. Bridges 'Os, Brown '08, Harriman '10, Libby '08, McCullough '08. These men with the addition of Cobb '09. will meet next Monday and elect a captain l'or next year. proving a better claim than that of tne American League team manage ment in New York, which signed him in the hellet that he was a free agent when he was under contract to the California League. Player Samuel Edmonston, claimed by Washington and used last year by Minneapolis and Des Moines, without having title to his services, is declared to be a free agent. The Washington management is censured and a tine of $25 is imposed against both Des Moines and Minneapolis. The claim of player Ben Caffyn, for salary front Cleveland for the time be tween the end of the Ohio and Penn sylvania seasons and that of the Amer ican League, is disallowed. The com mission finds that Cleveland had not ordered him to report during that pe riod and that he had no ground for his claim. As to the transfer of player Irvin Wilhelm from Birmingham to Brook lyn, the commission apportions the purchase money, $300 going to Birm ingham, $3.30 to the player and the bamnee to the commission for viola tion of the rules regarding a non-re serve contract. Player Asmussen is declared forever ineligible, on a re-hearing of the Eau Claire claim to his services. He had claimed that he should be declared a free agent, being under no contract, and in a former decision the commis sion so ruled. Afterward his written contract was discovered and the. case was re-oiiened. A fine of $250 is Imposed on Broklyn for covering player John Doscher, who is declared to belong to the club on whose reserve list he appears last fall. The application of Edward J. Hughes for release from his contract with the •Boston American League team was refused, the club having acted entirely within its rights. Formal notice was given all major league clubs regarding their actions in the matter of purchased and drafted players, and the threat of a fine for violation of the provisions of the na tional agreement in that regard is made.

Early on the morning of the day set cowboys, ranchmen, miners and others hit the trail for Demins, near which point the hunt was tc take place. They came in from every quarter—from the mountains, the valleys and the plains for many miles around, as distance counts for little with the people of that region. When this niotlv, jolly crowd arrived, pians for the hum were matured in short order. It was agreed it should he a cir cle hunt and that the sand dune and mes 'luite legion, several miles in extent and lying just north ot tlie little town of Denting, should be the field, as it had been on previous oeeasions. A few scatter guns were in evidence among the men. but nearly all had lilies. Most of the big crowd was mounted on broncos, while a few were in blackboards. Several wagons were sent along to gather up the game as it was brought down I y the hunters. The great mesquite area was soon sur rounded and and the hunt began. Spec ial orders had been given regarding the shooting to be done, a'- rifie bullets were liable to glance and "put some one's light out Slowly the ohelo woiked in from all sides, with constant shooting and a perfect fnsilude of firearms. The jacks and cottontails were here in great numbers and could everywhere 1 e seen running in all directions In fore tlte ad vancing line. At various points around the circle learns were gathering up the game, as each rabbit killed was to i e brought in. At noon each man stopped in Ins place and ate the lunch he hid packed with hint. To one who had never reen or taken part ill spell a hunt it was w ort It his while to go a lone ways to see As the cirCle gradually closed in and the hunttrs came nearer together, a perfect "run" of shouting and lat ghter was kepi up and the firing increased. The i :cks were constantly pressed closer, anti in their frjsht they rushed and leaped iu every direction. But few escaped through the tine, and these few only when the hunt first began and the men were at a considerable distance apart. The limit finally ended late in the after noon among the rougher portion of lie* d ines and mesquites -Forest and Stream. Boils and Carbuncles Cured by “THE HOUSEHOLD SURGEON."

No need of head aches, dullness, irritability. A Cas caret, taken in time, avoids them. All women need Cascarets. Simply because they don’t exercise enough. They don’t eat coarse food, or enough fruit and green vegetables. Those are Nature’s ways for keeping the bowels active. But very few women employ them. The next best way is Cascarets. Nearly all the minor ills of women can be avoided by Cascarets alone. There is no need to have headaches, depression, bad breath, bad complexion. The remedy is Cascarets. Not in large doses—unless you wait too long. The best way is one Cascaret at a time—just when you need it One every day, perhaps. It is simply a matter of keeping clean inside, as you do on the outside. You don t use soap in large quantities, and rarely. You use it frequently, regularly, just as you need it. Do the same with Cascarets. Then you are always well, always at your best. Cascarets are candy tablets. They are sold by all druggists, but never in bulk. Be sure you get the genuine, with CCC on every tablet. The price is 50c, 25c and Ten Cents per Box 806 MAGOMBER, FARR WHinEN, INSURANCE AGENTS ANNUAL STATEMENTS ENG. 1907. the $3,478,359.

A merry snow shoeing party was held Thursday evening, the “Snow Birds” acting as hosts, and the party started about 4 P. M. from the High school building and tramped through the wood for two hours.

Truth and Quality appeal to the Well-Informed in every I walk of life and are essential to permanent success and creditable standing. Accor ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs i and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of i known value, but one of many reasons why it is the best of personal and family laxatives is the fact that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without any debilitating after effects and without having to increase l he quantity from time to time. It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as a laxative, and its component parts are known to anil approved by physicians, as it is free from all objection able substances. To get its beneficial effects always purchase the genuine- manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug gists. 4 ‘spring garden INSURANCE CO.

In his exuberant speech accepting a third nomination for the office of may of of Augusta. Sheriff ^Maisted said: "We have in the past two years,Ye ti need the tux on polls from $4 Iwo years ago to this yeftV." This statement is very misleading. The old city poll tax was three dollars a your. In the Williams und tVilluge districts another dollar was charged for schiHil purposes. The city govern ment hgd nothing to do with this last dollar. The money for school purposes was voted by the Districts .tjiemselves at their annual meetings.. The city government lias nothing to do with it today, l.'ndcr the new law the money appropriated tor this purpose will be voted at a mass meeting of the citizens of Augusta to be held next .May. The law making the change hr the school system of this city was not passed by a l)i mocratie city, govern ment. It was passed b\ a.Republican legislature of Maine, and* ratified by the citizens of Augusta at the polls. It would therefore seem as if honors were,easy on the poll tax reduction one dollar to the credit of the Repub licans. and or.e to the credit o'V the Democrats. are no. surprised that .Mayor 1’la is ted tries to claim it. for he is building up a Democratic machine, a! d hir rule is to claim about evety tl'.ing in sight. The man who has saved a, dollar a M ar on his reduced poll tax .lias had to pay many dollars more rent as the result of the increased real estate valuations under the Plaisted adminis tration. Any Republican of Augusta who Mr. Plaisted cajoles into voting f hint next Monday is simply a catspn to help a Democratic politician enji the emoluments of two offices at t same time. ft The wails with which the loe Democratic leaders are rending il heavens Is a confession that they e: pect to be buried in defeat next .Mo, day. Business or Polities? filial! it bo business or politics in tlie administration of Augusta's mu nicipal affairs? Major Plaisted him self has asked this question and it ill becames him to complain at the frank discussion which it has aroused or to dodge the issue and evade responsi bility for the many unbusinesslike things of a strictly partisan nature whirl! a little investigation of his ad ministration has brought to light. W c use the word “unbusinesslike” in tills connection, although It is an exceed ingly mild and charitable term in view of the astounding disclosures which have been made. This morning the Journal wishes to ask the taxpayers of Augusta a few questions. Let them think the matter over between now and the time when they will cast their ballots next Monday and then vote ac cordingly. Will It be business or politics to re elect Sheriff Plaisted mayor of Augus ta, a man who is an avowed and par tisan politician and who desires the of fice for a third term solely that he may build up and strengthen his personal political machine? Will it be business or politics to elect Hon. Ira H. Randall as mayor— a man who is a respected and success ful leader in the business and indus trial life of the community, who does not hold any other office and who pos sesses no political ambition? Will it be business or politics to keep in office those aldermen who have violated the State law and the princi ples of sound municipal government by profiting from city patronage to the extent of many hundreds of dollars each Will it be business or politics for the city to tru.-t the management of its affairs to a management of its affairs to a man whom the county of Kenne bec is now puj'ing $4400 or more annu ally for the performance of important duties? Is it business or is it politics for the present administration to hold back from the taxpayers the amount which the city now rcallj- owes, the bills un paid, held back, not presented and otherwise covered up as a campaign expediency? Was it business or was it politics alien the Plaisted administration dis regarded the vote, of the people that the interest on the good roads bond Issue should not exceed throe and one lmlf per cent, and issued bonds at 4 per cent., failing to give the people of Augusta a chance at them at that? Disregarding wholly the legal as pect of the case, has it been business ot politics for a member of the board of aldermen to monopolize the ma chinist work of tire city for the past two year", receiving $14:11 for the same with bills for several months past yet to be paid? Disregarding the legal aspect of the case, has it been business or politics for a member ot the board of aldermen to monopolize the carpenter work re quired by the city, receiving $864 for the same? Disregarding the legal aspect of the case, has it been business or politics for a member of the hoard of aldermen to furnish a large share of the gro ceries required by the poor depart ment receiving about $700 for the same during the year of 1907? \va« ii Business or was it politics when Mayor Plaisted appointed an al derman and a councilman as inspec tors of the permanent highway im provements. for which services they received Sod'i- and $367 respectively? Was it business or was it politics for the city to pay the street commissioner $47. for sand for the sidewalks last win ter when the city owns a good sand bank of its own? Was it business or was it politics when Overseer of the Poor Spaulding, in absolute violation of the law. as lie has confessed over his own signature, entered into contracts witli members of the city government for supplies for the poor department? Was it business or was it politics when Mayor I’laisted made his sweep ing charges- fegarding the. condition of City hall and of the city property at the beginning of his administration, charges 4promptly and completely an swered ty ex-Janitor. Fisher in his eompiunication to the Journal? Was it business or. was it politics when Mayor PluisffM claims tor his administration the.'poliey of rural high way improvement, a matter which was settled by the people of the city at a special election called for the pur pose? These are some of the questions which tlie Journal wants the voters of Augusta to think over today and to morrow and then answer by their vote at the polls. We feci sure that the people of Augusta want business and not politics in the administration of tbeir municipal affairs. It has been a matter of politics,, and of intense ly partisan politics, from the first and it seeks a "vindication" at this time simply to aid the Sheriff Mayor in his own political ambi tions. He is the absolute Democratic leader of the city and county and can undoubtedly count upon the solid Democratic vote, but there is no reason 'n the world why he should recc-ive any Republican votes in the county or I why ary independent or non-partisan I citisen should give him a vote. Or i th* other hand. H»n. Ira H. Randall I ho leads the clean and strong Repub Mean ticket, is a business awn with out private ends to serve or political ambitions to further, and can be count ed on to give the city an honest busi ness administration of its affairs such as the city wants and is entitled to. A Democratic Falsehood Nailed. The Democratic party campaign is lilliug the streets u ith falsehoods con cerning the Republican candidate for mayor. These ore to be expected about election time. There is not a broader, or more Jiberal-minded man in Augusta than Mr. Randall. He is and has al ways been a believer in all kinds of manly sport and a constant contribu tor to them. Years ago when the writer was canvassing Augusta for funds to establish a New England League Baseball Club in Augusta, Mr. Randall v. as the second man lie went to. He will always recall the promptness and heartiness with which Mr. Randall gave him a $25.00 sub scription. I'm a busy man,” he said, and may not be able to take in many of the games; but I am a believer iu all kinds of sports, and am glad to help the boys out. I hope you'll have a good team. It's a good thing for the city." It was that prompt and hearty lift that gave the boys courage to go on with a task that looked very for midable at the start. And this is the man ttiat certain Democratic liars are endeavoring to make the voters believe is an enemy of sport! Mr. Randall has always been and is today ‘‘one of the boys" iri these matters. The writer knows this for he has beer, to him a number of times for subscriptions in aid of the sports, and he has always given it. promptly, liberally, and heartily. This is his record in these matters, and men who attempt to make it ap pear otherwise, are simply lying for campaign effect. Republicans United and Enthusiastic. Republicans have lined up this, yvur with an enthusiasm and earnest jietjts of purpose which shows that they arc alive to the political character of the present municipal campaign. We be lieve that every member of.the party will vote the straight ticket. Mayor Plaisted 's running for a third term simply to help the Democratic machine in the approaching State arid Presi dential campaigns. That is the whole story. In the lace of this plain fact it becomes the duty of every Repub lican not to permit considerations of personal friendship to swerve him from his party ticket. They must, un der such circumstances, appreciate the importance of voting tire straight ticket. They must clearly recognize the fact that a victory on the part of the head of the Democratic ticket would be hera'ded front Maine to California as a Democratic victory. Democratic workers are talking "non-partisan ship” today in the hope of influencing Republican votes: but should they succeed they would certainly celebrate the event not as a “non-partisan" but as a Democratic victory pure and simple. We do not believe that any Republican will be misled by sophis try of this character. This is the trial heat that is preliminary. to the State and national campaigns which come the present year. That is the'whole of it. Republicans in other parts of Maine have clearly recognized this fact and have come down the line with a string of magnificent victories. We believe that eve ry Republican in this city will do his full isirt in-putting Augus ta into that column. This is the work b; for" the Republicans of this city, ar.d we are confident that it will be done thoroughly and well. There are growing evidences of the fact that the Democrats of Augusta realize that they are hopelessly beat en in the wards and a*e now con centrating their efforts in the frantic attempt to pull through the head of the ticket. For this purpose they; are beseeching Republicans to vote for him on personal grounds; but without success. We have no disposition to disparage in any way the personality of the may or, with whom we have enjoyed very friendly relations for many years. He is, however, on tlie wrong side to ap peal for Republican support. His per sonality is enlisted not in the Repub lican, but in the Democratic cause. Republicans of Augusta, those who are imploring you to give Mr. Plais ted vour votes, are really asking you to support not Mr. Plaisted but the Democratic party. They arc asking you to Idnd aid and support to pro vide prestige for that party in the approaching Slate and na tional elections. That is the whole of of it. 'rt is not a question of any man's personality. It is a question of politics. Doth parties are fighting for position, and in that fight all Repub licans should stand shoulder to shoulder, voting the straight ticket, and usirg every means within their pow er to promote the success of their ticket at the polls. It is a ticket -worthy in every way of their most cordial and active support. Headed by a clean, able, business man, and ex ceedingly fortunate in tlie well-known men who make up its ward tickets. The Journal is confident that the Re publicans of Augusta will rally to the support of this ticket to a man next Monday, and that Hon. Ira H. Randall wilt be elected mayor of Augusta by a very handsome majority. This is, emphatically, a Republican year. The recent terrible Arc in n Coll in wood, Ohio, school building which re sulted in the killing of lBt school chil dren has turned public attention to the necessity of using every possible safe guard against such disasters. Fortu nately tlie schoolltouses in Augusta arc none of them of sueh a character as the one in Ohio. Only one of them is more than two stories high and that lias four exits. It is a satisfaction to know that our school board lias tak en prompt steps for a thorough in spection of all the schoolltouses, and will take whatever measures may be necessary to put them In the best pos sible condition of safety. To the credit, of Mayor Plaisted let it be said lie attempted no defence of double olllee holding in his speech at City hall last evening. This is at least a tacit admission on his part of the correctness of the Journal's conten tion that the sheriff of Kennebec county with an annual income of nice than $4400, lias no moral right to hold at the same time the position of mayor of a city. It is whispered that the "boys" in tlie favor of the Plaisted machine who have been playing peanut politics and forgetting to hide the shells have been given a withering call-down for then carelessness. Let those to whom Mr. Plaisted poses as a non-partisan and business candi date ask him if lie will pledge himself not to yin for sheriff on a partisan tickoflmext fall and not to use his office to build up a Democratic machine. Bangor, Belfast, Biddeford and Brewer will all be busy Bs next Mon day. but in the liveliness of its election, as well#as alphabetically, Augusta will be in the front rank. Speaking of automobiles, we are re minded of the fakir at the fair who keeps you guessing under which ot the shells the pea is hidden. Ira H. Randall is a business man. Does anybody question that he will make a strong, honest j*pd able mayor?

At the opening of the supreme judi cial court, Associate Justice Henry C Peabody, of Portland presiding, Friday morning, was begun the civil action of W. S. Philbrick of West Gardiner versus the inhabitants of the town of West Gardiner. This is an action, with the ad damnum placed at $2500, to recover damages for injuries al leged to have been received in a run away accident said to have been caus ed by a roadway blocked by a road machine and two detached horses. Th° accident occurred on the Pond road, so called, Sept. 19, 1906. The case was heard before the sec ond jury of which A. E. Purington of Waterville is foreman. George W Heselton. Esq., of Gardiner appeared as counsel for the plaintiff and Charles L. Andrews, Esq., and Anson M. God dard. Esq., of Augusta for the defen dant. A great deal of interest was manifested in the case and residents of the town of West Gardiner were much in evidence at Friday's session of the court. After the opening by Attorney Hesel ton on behalf of the plaintiff admis sions were made as to the road being a public highway, as to Frank E. Sher burne being the road commissioner of the town and as to the service of a notice within the prescribed limit of time, 14 days. Seven witnesses were sworn In be half of the plaintiff and the first wit ness called was Dr. William O. Cobb of Gardiner. Dr. Cobb testified to attending the plaintiff at the home of Mrs. Richard son. He found a dislocation of the right arm and three ribs on the right side broken three or four inches from the backbone. Mrs. Smith Merrill, who lives a few rods from the scene of the accident, testified to seeing the plaintiff drive by with his wife on the day in ques tion. She heard a woman screaming a few moments later and saw the plalntifT on the ground with men about him. Mrs. Philbrick was running about, wringing her hands. After the regular morning recess 1 Winfield S. Philbrick, the plaintiff, took the stand. He testified to the road commissioner's horses blocking the road, to running into these horses in an attempt to pass and to his horse becoming frightened and running away. He explained that he had driven the horse for years and that the ani mal was especially gentle. Attorney Heselton asked how far die scene of the accident was from the home of the witness. n uutrs uui scum iu nit? nunc iiitiu three miles, does it to you?” asked the witness. “I can't answer that,” said Attorney Heselton, smiling. As the witness told his story of the accident he illustrated it dramatically. His hands grasped the reins, he leaned forward as a man might if he were driving through a narrow place and when he came to the moment of con tact struck the rail in front of him forcefully. “And then, for a moment or two, 1 did not know just what did happen,” he declared. The plaintiff told of the great suffer ing which he had undergone and said that the severe pain did not leave him until Monday or Tuesday after the Wednesday he was Injured. On cross-examination the plaintiff admitted that while eight rods or so away he saw that the place was dan gerous and walked his horse. Court adjourned for the morning session a little before 1 o'clock until 2.30 o’clock. At the afternoon session. Mrs. Ada E. Phllbrick of West Gardiner, the wife of the plaintiff, testified that he purchased the horse six years prior to the accident. She had taken care of the horse when her husband was away. On the day of the accident the horse was going at a medium rate of speed and he was driven with due care. Af ter the accident her husband suffered a great deal of pain. Mrs. Elizabeth J. Richardson, who lived near the scene of the accident, testified to seeing the horse running by. She went at once to the spot There was a distance of about two feet between the backs of the horses and the edge of the road. The plain tiff was removed to her house and re mained there 12 days after the acci dent. With the completion of Mrs. Richard son's testimony the plaintiffs case rested. A recess was here taken. Up on the resumption of proceedings the attorneys retired with Judge Peabody for consultation. Upon their return the jury was excused while a motion of Attorney Goddard was being argued. Attorney Goddard argued on his mo tion that the court direct a verdict for. the defendant, that the object at issue was not a defect in the road un der the meaning of the statute, but stated that his principal grounds, were that the plaintiff had been guilty of contributory negligence. He cited sev eral Maine cases bearing on the point. Attorney Goddard’s particular argu ment was that the plaintiff knew the danger as he had testified that while a a distance of eight rods he saw that the place that he would have to pass was dangerous. He continued that he could either have moved the horses or could have asked to have them re moved. The statement of Mr. Goddard was that many decisions have estab lished that when a man braves evident danger he takes his own chances and no other parties can be held liable. Attorney Heselton argued that as a matter of law the court could not rule but the question was one of facts for the jury to decide. The citations of the defence were assailed by Attorney Heselton and he urged that his client did not know the danger and that the defence had taken hold of one state ment made by his client and so con strued It as to make It grounds tor their motion. Attorney Heselton de clared that though the plaintiff said he realized there was a danger, yet he thought it was all right to go ahead or those men would have warned him. The court denied the motion of the defendant that the court instruct the jury to return a verdict for the defen dant and court adjourned until 9-30 o’clock, Saturday morning. The following are some of the new entries on the docket: Parker Thomas Company of Port land versus Reny Marshall of Wn terville, an action, with the ad damnum placed at $5000, to recover on account annexed.

The plaintift further allages that she ex ercised due care and strained her knee, twisted and injured the cords and ten dons thereto connecting, seriously in jured the ligaments of her leg- and otherwise seriously injured her, so that for a long time she was confined to her bed and rendered grievously ill, and solely as a result of the Injury has become permanently lame, and r" suit of the injury she has he u pul to great expense for medical rvices, medicine and nursing.

As recent reports concerning loss of life from school fires caused parents to make frequent inquiry as to the safety of their own in our schools, it may be of interest to know just how quickly and safely several hundred pupils can he marched from our larger buildings to a place of safety. The largest enrollment in any *>ne building is at the Smith Grammar school, where some 350 pupils are congregated. In just 90 seconds front the pressing of the signal button by Principal Jack man the last pupil hail left the build ing. The alarm bell had not been pre pared for; it called each pupil from ills task exactly as it would in case ot fire. This was followed by a test to determine the time required if each pupil secured his wraps before march ing out. In two and a quarter minutes all were standing outside, capped and coated. Our smaller school buildings can be emptied with proportionate celerity. The lire drill is sometimes regarded as ineffective because, in schools where it has heen practiced, there is occa sionally heavy loss of life, as at North Follingwood recently. But it will be remembered that in this case the front exit was cut off by fire, while the rear door, for some reason, afforded no ad vantage. One clear-headed teacher, making use of the fire escape, march ed all her pupils safely out. with the exception of three or four who dis obeyed and left the line. In Augusta, (not considering the rural districts), there is no building without two exits, at least, except the High school build ing. In most cases the pupils can leave by any one of three or four doors, and these doors during school hours, are never locked. It seems an opportune time to deny a rumor which lias received some cir culation. to the effect that pupils who bring lunch to school are locked in during the noon hour. No pupil is locked into a sehoolhousp in this city at any hour. Those who remain at noon in the buildings have ready egress at their pleasure. In addition to such provisions for safety in case of uncontrollable fires, apparatus has been installed for ‘lie quenching of lesser blazes before they reach such a danger point. In the city proper, chemical extinguishers are used: in each of the rural buildings, where liquids would lie less desirable because of freezing, the tubes of dry extinguisher have been placed. Janitors, too, exercise due care to prevent the accumulation of waste paper or any other sort of fire starter in tlie basement. I believe that so far as danger from fire is concerned, no parent need feel anxious about a child who is housed in any of our school buildings. A few minor matters, such as the installation of more suitable signals f**r tlie* drill In certain buildings, anil the reliangingj of a few doors, have yet to lie attended to; hut. as shown by a published in terview with the chairman of tlie Board of Education, with regard to essentials, we are well prepared. I) W. La FIFE. A Communication. After reading in yesterday’s Journal of the interview which took place be tween the Journal and Mr. A. \V. Brooks, of the Board of Education, re garding tile safe condition of our city school buildings in regard to fire pro tection. 1 beg to state that t{le writer is one who has had occasion to enter the Cony High school building many times during the past two years, and feel it a duty to state th,e conditions of this building as it is ffoin personal observation, regarding tbyf- exit The outside or main door is a large double door, and situated qt the bot tom of the only flight of stairs leading from the school rooms above, and opens in: ten feet back front this large outside double door, (which opens in), are two small doors, one. on each side of the stairway: these..two doors lead to the basement, and also open in. and are the only doors leading to the base ment or ground floor. If tliis arrangement of doors does not form an ideal condition for a fire horror. I will frankly confess I am a very poor judge. A. E. WOOD.

Following the conclusion of the in stallation ceremony an adjournment 'was made to the banquet hall where a collation was served which was as excellent as it was bountiful, and was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone pres ent. The Knights of Pythias have long had the reputation of serving ex cellent repasts on occasions similar to the above, and the one last evening was fully up to the average. The closing feature of the evening was the ball which followed the ban quet. After the many good things had been thoroughly discussed the par'y returned to the hall, where Ballard’s Orchestra was stationed, and soon all were moving in unison with the music. The program contained the usual man her of dances and extras and every m mm V. SIR KNIGHT FRF EM AX C DEE RING I Second Lieutenant. one of the numbers was enjoyed to the utmost. The floor was in charge of Messrs. Deering, Woodward and Nor cross, who attended to their duties very acceptably. It was late when the last waltz had been played and the members of the party departed for their homes, and as they left the hall it was with the feeling that the evening had been one of rare enjoyment and the bail one of the best of the winter.

The politicians are trying to get the city away from the people. Tiny are attacking honest men on the board of aldermen for doing what others have done in years past.” This was his only defence of the way in which various Democratic aldermen have carried on an extensive business with the city in violation of law. It seemed to be too delicate a subject to dwell upon at length. Mr. Plaisted paid a very warm tribute to Alderman Andtews of Ward 2 which was much appreciated by his many friends pres ent and was warmly applauded. ”T am not a Democratic mayor.” said Mr. Plaisted. “but the non-partisan mayor of a business administration.” This seeinfd to cause much amuse ment in ’ll” audit nee. “Do not he mis led b_\ the din and the dust of this strenuous eainnaitrn hut decide for yourself in the voting booth and your ptneil will do the rest." His closing peroration was a tribute to the beau tiful city of Augusta, "its brave and noble men. its lovelv and virtuous wo men," end gained him generous ap plause. There was another cheer then I from those in front led by Mr. Carll. I and the crowd tiled quietly out of the hall. FRIDAY EVENING BLAZE. Department Called Out By Fire on Wade Street—Loss Not Large.

Fitli'M Urns, art* building in the basement of their shop on Water street :i motor boat that will he something of a novelty on Kennebec waters. The craft is 18 feet in length, about four feet wide across the stern, and the bottom is perfectly flat and about the shape of a llatiron. The boat is built for the purpose of trying some new engines that the firm is building this spring and will be launched as soon as the ice is out of the river. Augusta owners of motor boats are interested in a new engine which the Fifield Ilros. have perfected and are building this spring for use in light and speedy boats. The engine is designed for a light high speed engine and weighs complete Ho pounds. It is a double-cylinder machine of the auto mobile type, and can make 1200 revolu tions per minute. At that speed it gen erates 10-horsepower, but has a range from that speed down to 300 revolutions per minute. The engine is very neat and compact and those who have seen it are much pleased with it. The firm is also building a light engine of the same type hut with a single cylinder that generates about, seven horse power, that should be very popular in small boats where a light engine is desired. Judging from a telephone'message which was received yesterday after noon it would appear that some of the other hens in this vicinity have been busy during the winter besides those of Mr. Maxwell, which were mentioned in yesterday morning's Journal. The ri vals to Mr. Maxwell’s Hock belong to Mrs. C B. Cushman of Gardiner, and their work for the past four months shows that they have been making a record as egg-producers that will be hard..to beat. Mrs. Cushman has six liens in her llock. and during the month of February their combined efforts re sulted in the production of a total of 6S eggs. They had been doing well all winter also, and from Nov. 1 to March 1 they scored a total of 130 eggs. The breed of the Gardiner biddies was not given, but whether they are Plymouth Rooks, Rhode Island Reds or Brown IiCghofns, or just common every day hens, their owner has reason to be proud of them. r Somewhere out in Nome, Alaska, is a young man who is yearning for a letter from some young lady in Au gusta, but his chances for receiving it, fer tie' present at least, are somewhat slender, as he has forgotetn the young lady’s name. He has made a try how ever, for sometime ago there was re ceived at the Augusta postotfiee a sou venir postal card showing a section of the cheerful landscape of Nome with a bunch of reindeer in the center. The card was mailed at Nome Jan. 3. and was addressed to “Miss Smith, Jones or Brown, care P. M., Augusta, Maine.” .On the part reserved for cor respondence were the words: “Xmas, Nome,- Alaska. Write if you want to; if you don't want to, write anyway. W. H. Holmes, care H. O. B.” On the oth er side of the card was a line saying: “Sorry, hut 1 have forgotten your full name.” If any voting woman in town has a friend in that far-off country by the name mentioned she can doubt less confer a favor by dropping him a line.
