Washington, March ^C.—Representa tive John Sharp Williams of Mississip pi, as leader of the minority in tiie Houss of Representatives, issued to the press tonight a written statement defining precisely the attitude of the Democratic party in the House toward legislation urged by President Roose velt iti his message to Congress at tlie present session. The statement de scribes what Republican legislation the Democrats will support, what,.they will oppose and what concessions- they de mand on the part of the majority as the price of refraining from an organ ized tilibuster throughout the remaind er of the session. Williams opens his statement by saying: “Some things in the President’s re cent message are so immensely im portant to the interests of the entire country as to pass the bounds of parti sanship and to make it excusable if not necessary for me to say something concerning them with the view of as suring the President himself and rea sonably inclined Republican members of the House and the country of thy I support and endorsement or the oppo sition of the Democratic minority. In sofar as the tilings urged by the Pres ident are good things, I would like the country to know that all he has to do is to deliver 20 or 25 Republican House votes in favor of them. These conjoin ed with the solid Democratic votes will put them through.” Williams notes the following meas ures as ones which “will command vir tually the solid Democratic vote with in constitutional limits:” To compel publication of campaign contributions. Prohibition of child labor in the Dis trict of Columbia and the territories. An employers’ liability law, drawn to conform to the recent decisions of the supreme court. Federal liability to government em ployes. A law to prohibit the issuance of injunctions without notice to the par ty enjoined. Removal of the tariff on wood pulp and printing paper. Imposition of a federal charge for every water power right granted on a navigable stream. Those principles anti measures urged by the President with which Williams as minority leader takes issue, are enumerated as follows: The penalizing of the boycott. The right of the attorney general to nominate receivers when a common carrier is thrown into the hands of a receiver. The modification of the Sherman an ti-trust law so as to permit within limitation the maintenance of trusts and the making of trade agreements between combinations of capital. The appointment of a commission to prepare data for a revision of the tar iff. Williams frankly states that he does not know whether a majority of the minority favors the creation of a per manent waterways commission. As to the President advising the im mediate re-enactment of an employers’ liability law, Williams says: “There is no excuse for the delay on the part of the Republican members of the House judiciary committee to re pert an employers' liability law. Tiieir delay at least arouses if it does not justify a suspicion that they are leav ing a lot of useless hearings simply for the purpose of using that bill as a buffer to prevent the serious consid eration of otiier bills before tile com mittee. I have given notice in the House that no legislation shall lie en acted by unanimous consent until an employers’ liability bill is at least re ported for the consideration of the House.” Respecting pending bills to prevent the issuance of injunctions without prior opportunity for the enjoined par ty to be heard, the minority leader says: "Of course, I take it that nobody will i understand the President or me to mean that there should he any limit upon temporary restraining orders when intended to prevent the immedi ate destruction of property, life or limb. When I say property I do not moan judicially construed ’Property t rights.’ win- m me inusi vigorous portions or Williams’ statement Is about the boy cott. After quoting the President’s declarations that "Nothing should he done to legalize a blacklist or boycott, that would be illegal at common law,” Williams says: i "It is a sad commentary upon this utterance of his that while the federal 1 courts have held that a boycott is a combination in restraint of trade and therefore illegal, they have virtually 1 upheld the employer in his assertion of 1 i right to blacklist; because one fed- 1 •ral court went so far as to say that because the employer had a right to discharge without giving any notice at ill, therefore he had a right to dis- •harge because the discharged man is l member of a labor union. It is a poor rule that does not work both a ays. 1 “Another decision of a federal court —the decision of Judge Gould—has tone so far as to say that a labor man's t newspaper should not publish the name if a firm under the heading 'We don’t patronize.’ A man has a right to pat ronize or not to patronize anybody ac- cording to his own sweet will and i therefore has the right to publish those j .vhom he does not patronize.” The President's recommendation of t law to place wood pulp on the free ist, “With a corresponding reduction I upon papers made from wood pulp nhen they come from any country that does not put an export duty upon them,” meets with Mr. Williams' ap proval, "Except that it does not go luite far enough. Not only ought tvood pulp be placed upon the free list,’’ he says, “but print paper ought to be placed there also. The publish ers will not be very much benefltted by the placing of wood pulp on the free list if there be only a slight re duction of the duty upon print paper.” “There are other things in the Presi 1 dent's message,” says Williams, “which one might naturally expect, considering his education in the line of Hamil tonianism and his tendencies toward federalism, cannot meet with Demo cratic approval. It is his idea that the attorney general representing the gov ernment should have the right to nomi nate receivers when a common carrier is thrown into the hands of a receiver. That right ought to rest in a court— Not in the Executive.” "The President's utterances, concern ing the anti-trust law are tin Indication of his inability to see that which will appear plain to a Democratic mind to wit: That anything approximating a private monopoly is intolerable and undurable in a free government. His attempt and that of others to classify trusts as good trusts anil bad trusts, is abhorrent. There, can he no such thing as a good trust. We ought simp ly to provide ttiat negotiations of labor and of workingmen for the purpose of securing shorter hours or higher pay or more equitable treatment, shall not be construed to fall within the inhibition of any existing law. ".As to the President’s preparation for tariff revision by consideration at the hands of a commission composed of members of the House and Senate and so called 'Experts' it is both cum bersome and useless. The very best possible tariff commission is a com mission consisting of the representa tives of the people, selected by the people, in the interest of^the people. Even that body has too many men se lected by private interests in the in terest of private interests. If the Re publican party cannot furnish a ways amf means committee with sufficient intelligence to revise the tariff then will it surrender the reins of power to us on the minority and let us see whether we can or not?” UNIVERSITY OF MAINE, J. M. Oak President of Trustees—Jun ior Prom-Week—Glee Club Trip. Orono, Me., March 26.—(Special).— Hon. John M. Oak, postmaster of Ban gor, was elected in Augusta Thursday as president of the Board of Trustees of the University of Maine, to succeed Hon. Henry Lord of Bangor. The University of Maine Glee and Instrumental Clubs will start Friday on a two-days trip, at the end of which the members of the clubs will leave from Portland for their respective homes, as the spring vacation at the university will begin at 1 P. M. Satur day and continue until 7.45 Monday, April 6. Friday evening the clubs will give a concert in Skowhegan and Sat urday evening the University men will be in Portland under the auspices of the Deering High school, this latter date being obtained as a result of the inability of the Bowdoin clubs, due to their disbandment, to fill the engage ments which they had made. The Junior class held an important meeting at 1 P. M. Thursday in Alumni hall. President Towle presided. The most important question discussed was that of charging admission to the Junior Prom. The question of charg ing to all the big college functions has received a great deal of consideration by the student body during the past year. As a result of the rapid growth of the university some means are nec essary to keep down tile ever-increas ing crowd which is present on these occasions. As the larger institutions all through the country follow this plan it was voted after a very hot dis cussion to introduce this plan into Maine at the coming Junior Prom. President Towle then outlined the plans for Junior Week, which will be gin May 20 and continue until May 24. The program: Wednesday, May 20—At 3 P. Ml, Maine vs. Bowdoin; 8 P.

Allen has been elected second vice president and Joseph T. Brown third vice president of the company. The suspension of the Knickerbocker Trust Co. was one of the most serious developments of the bank panic of last fall. Soon after it suspended, its pres ident. Charles T. Barney, committed suicide.

CONFLAGRATION AVERTED. Excellent Work of Boothbay Harbor Firemen Prevents Bad Blaze. Boothbay Harbor. Mo., March 26.— The excellent work of the llremen ot this town saved what at first looked to be a conflagration this morning’ by confining a brisk fire to the building in which it started. The fire started at 7.30 o'clock in a shed next to Dolloff's bowling alleys and billiard parlors—over which Mr. Dolloff lives—and spread rapidly. In a short time the shed was in ruins and the bowling alley which is in the base ment caught. Water was used freely and with good judgment so that the flames were under control in fairly quick time, although at the first it looked like a hard job. The bowling alley was practically ruined and the billiard parlor above badly damaged but the home of Mr. Dolloff escaped with smoke damage. The loss is covered by insurance. In the shed where the Are started is a den fitted up by an old sailor named Robert Oleson, who takes out sailing parties in the summer, and who is known to hundreds of summer people. He started up a wood fire this morning and the fire caught near the roof. The cause was a defective chimney. WORST OF SEASON. Steamers Plying on Penobscot Bay and River Held Up By Gale. Bucksport, Me., March 26.—One of tlie heaviest gales of the season pre vailed on the lower Penobscot bay and river today. The steamer Bay State due to leave Winterport for Boston this morning could not clear her dock on account of the gale and will lay over 24 hours. The steamer Stockton, Bucksport for Camden, was driven back by heavy seas off Fort Point and the cross-the-bay steamers were tied up. THREE BURNED TO DEATH. Ernest Blomquist, Wife end Son Perish In Belmont, Mass., Home. Belmont, Mass., March 26.—Ernest Blomquist, a cabinet maker, his wife I.otta and a 12-year-old son Lewis were burned to death in a fire which con sumed their home at 175 Belmont street, near the Watertown line late tonight. The fire is believed to have started from the outside of the building and a mystery seems to surround its origin. While it may have started from a brush fire there are some who think the fire may have been incendiary. The great fire at Hakodate, Japan, about eighteen months ago, has re duced the commercial business of that port to almost nothing, while Awomorl has made sudden growth. More- than KOO families mostly tradesmen or shop keepers. representing 4.000 persons, have migrated from Hakodate to Awomorl,
