JAr R. P ATTAX GALL of Waterville Again Elected Attorney Ceneral of Maine PROTEST TO CARRANZA ON OIL THREATS Wells May Be Closed if Assessments Are Not Paid SALTILLO TAKEN Washington. .Ian. 14. Secretary Bryan has sent a vigorous protest di rectly to the Carranza authorities at Tampico against their threat to close the great oil wells in the vicinity of Tampico because the foreign opera tors refused to pay a heavy assess ment levied by the Mexicans. At the same time, the matter was brought to the attention of Gen. Carranza him self. Owned in U. S. and England Most of the oil plants are owned by American and British capital. From time to time lately, there have been complaints against decrees of the Car ranza officials. The latest advices 'indicated that the Mexicans were preparing sum marily to shut down all of the plants unless the money demanded was forth coming. Villistas Retreat The Carranza agency tonight made public the following telegram from Laredo: “General Luis Gutierrez wired Nue vo Lareda today front Tunnel Station, a few miles southeast of Saltillo that thte Villistas are evacuating Saltillo ami retrtating in the direction of San Luis I'otosi. He reports that the Vill ista force that entered Saltillo was under the command1 of Gen. Angeles and numbered only 6000 men." ITURBIDE TELLS OF HIS ESCAPE Washington, Jan. 14 —Eduardo Irur bide, once member of the Mexican Senate and later commander of the Federal district, revealed tonight the story of hio sensational escape from death in Mexico, the circumstances of which, for a. time threatened to cause a serious broach between Gen. Gutier rez and Gens. Villa and Palafox. He said that he rode nearly 600 miles through drts and over mountains to the American b in the town escaped when the barracks fell. Sura, with its popula tion of 20,000, was almost entirely destroy ed. All the municipal and government authorities perished. Four hundred and fifty bodies already have been taken from the ruins there and a large number of injured are under treatment. Among the towns which are said to have been virtually destroyed are: Avez zano, Sora, Capeile, JIagliano, Marse, Mazcadalbe. Collarmele. Gerchio, Celano, Lelli, Paterno, San Felino.

Toll Not Yet Completed Following Earthquake Horror Over Central And Southern Country 20,000 DEAD IN MARSI WITH BARELY 100 LEFT AT AVEZZANO Italy as Nation Bravely prises to Alleviate Suf fering King Emmanuel Directs Work o f Rescue at Avezzano—Thousands Dead and Dying Under Wreckage—A Second Severe Shock and Hundred Quakes of Minor Na ture in Day Following

Rome, Jan. 14.—The toll of dead and injured in the great earthquake that has swept c*er central and southern Italy has' not yet been made up, but all advices reaching Rome indicate the ever-growing extent of the disaster. Towns with thousands of inhabitants have been over thrown and from some of these come details which show an immense loss of life. The estimates ran tonight from 25,000 to 50,000 dead and injured and yet there are several sections, which undoubtedly felt the earthquake in full measure, from which no estimates can as yet be obtained. In the ancient territory of Marsi, which includes Avezza no, the victims are placed at 20,000. Only a small minority of the inhabitants of Avezzano,’ who numbered approximately 10. 000 are left. Fifteen other towns and villages in that section have been laid waste. King on Scene King Victor Emrrtanuel is on the scene at Avezzano and 30,900 soldiers have been dispatched to the various centers where the force of the dis turbance was greatest. Italy as a nation has arisen again to give succor as she did at the time of the Messina earthquake six years ago to those who have fallen in thi3 latest castroplie from which the coun try has suffered. Other Shocks While the vastly greater part of the damage was done by the first earth quake which occurred Wednesday morning, at 7:53, there has been at least one severe shock since then, v. hich resulted in the collapse of many of the structures that escaped the first, and it is estimated that more than one hundred shocks, for the most part of a minor nature, occurred dur ing the l'4 hours after the disaster. Trains Running Trains are running from Avezzano to Tivoli without interruption/ taking the injured there for treatment. Survivors arriving in Tivoli say that many per sons are under the ruins in Avezzano. Thousands of cubic meters of debris are piled in the town, making rescue work very oifticult. The latest information reeeiveJ here confirms previous reports that the great er parts of Samtelino, Haterno, Peseina. Cerehio. Collor-mele and San Benedetto were destroyed. Potenza Escapes Reports received from Naples say that tiie fears that the province of Potenza, which was issolated had been destroyed are unfounded. Some damage was done there, mostly in the villages in the vicin ity of the extinct volcano. No fatalities have been reported from this region. Anaeona orv the Adriatic 134 miles northeast of Rome, reports that a tem pest accompanied the seismic disturb ance and there were exceptional tides coincident with the disturbance at Naples. At Venice the temperature was the lowest in years an! was accompan ied by a violent snow storm. In tbe Alps the thermometer went to 13 degTees below zero. The ministry has approved the plans undertaken by the. authorities to send ai.1 to the localities affected by the “arthauake.

H., Jan. 14.—The fish ing shooner Mustado with six men was towed into port today by the powerboat of the Gloucester station. For 4k hours the little craft was at the mercy of the gaie having lost her rudder and both anchors. The schooner drifted near Plum Island ani there she was held up to the wind by k edges made of pis iron. AVEZZANO 1$ FILLED WITH DEAD DODIES But One Notable Person Survives Terrible Disaster Avezzano, via Rome, Jan. 14.—Avez zano is filled with dead and their wrecked houses. It is like the ruins of a cemetery. Those who escaped the destruction of the earthquake went heroically to work to rescue those penned under the fallen walls. They could not seem to understand the de lay in dispatching aid to them from Rome and other centers forgetting that more than 12 hours passed before knowledge of the gravity of the dis aster- reached the outside authorities. The college with more than a hun dred girl students, collapsed. The gov ernor of prisons, jailors and the doc tors and patients in the hospitals were carried down in the wreckage. Police Head Survives The only notable person who sur vived was the head of the police. Sig nor Ottavi, who though wounded, has labored since the first overthrow to give succor to the injured, besperato appeals for help are heard on all sides from under the wrecked buildings, but the efforts of Ottavi and the few hun dred survivors have availed but lit tle, for thty lacked implements with which to effect a general rescue. Rut about 50 persons, all of them wounded were taken out with great difficulty. They lay about without shel ter and withot their wounds being dressed,' owing to a lack of medical supplies. Rater doctors appeared on the scene and operated on some of the injured, under blazing torches. They mtrprf then removed to the station. Iwhere they were made as comfortable as possible in trucks.

r State Industrial Home for Women Greatly Needed Over 200 women and girls are annually committed to the various County Jails in this State. Our Judges, Sher iffs, and County Attorneys agree that the jail is not a fit place for the commitment of most of these cases. Police De partments of the various cities refuse to make arrests of girls and women in many cases. Judges refuse to commit because they believe it better than to send them to our jails. For the most part these women and girls are the victims of circumstances—the product of their environment. Their first act of crime is usually the result of ignorance. They need training—education. To deny this educational oppor tunity to these women and girls is to deny it to those who have actually demonstrated that they need it the most. The State needs a school for this class—a Reformatory* for Wo men. What are you, Mr. Legislator, going to do about it? janlSdlt THE 77TH MAINE LEGISLATURE Stenographic Reports of the Sessions of Senate And House of Representatives SENATE Thursday,' Jan. 14, 1915.

Suggestion of Ohio Druggist to One Such Man Savad Hia Life, So He Saye. Nelsonville, Ohio—"I was all run down, weak and nervous and had no appetite at all. In fact I was very much discouraged until our drugghu told me about Vinol and asked me try it. I did so and It has certainly been a life saver to me. I can gladly recommend Vinol to anyone who needs a blood and nerve tonic.”—S. tv fSteenrod, Nelsonville, Ohio. When a man is run-down, weak and nervous, he needs^a good appe tite, good digestion, better blood, more strength, more vitality, and we do not know of any medicine that will sup ply it so quickly as Vinol. It is the active medicinal princi ples of cod liver oil aided by the blood making, strengthening proper ties of tonic iron contained in Vinol, which makes it so efficient in build ing up health and strength for weak, nervous, run-down men and women. We ask every weak, nervous, run down person In this locality to try Vinol on our guarantee, and if it faila to help you we will return your money. "V Bowditch-Webs ter Co., druggists, Augusta, Maine.

Mr. CLIFFORD of Lewiston: Mr. Speaker, as I understand It, the object of this order is to simplify these mat ters which in the past have been pub lished in several different pamphlets, and as all of these are useful to tho members of both branches of the Leg islature, and as is will be much more convenient for the members to have this information combined iin one pamphlet, thi3 order is introduced so that these different matters may ba combined.

At this point the Senate came in and a joint convention was formed. In Convention (President Hersey in the chair.) Chairman HERSEY: The joint con vention will be in order. The Chair wishes to state ttiat the organization of the joint convention is made up of the roll of both branches of the Legislature. This roll upon which we are voting was made up several days ago. Before we commence the business of this convention and before we have our usual roll-call, the Chair will direct and instruct the secretary of this convention to strike from that roll the name of Levite V. Thibodeau of Van fturen, and to add to this roll the name of Fortunat O. Michaud of Van Buren. Seator COLE of York: Mr. Chairman. I hardly know what to say to a ruling of that kind by the chairman of this Joint convention, nor do I know wha/ authority the chairman of this Joint convention has to make an arbitrary order whereby the name of a member who has been a mem ber of this Joint convention, upon the official roll-call, shall be stricken from that roll and the name of some new man, of whom we officially know nothing, shall be substituted for it. It seems to me there should bo some official com munication from some source or other to this joint convention whereby this joint convention, which has to be the judge of its own membership, should be Informed why such a change should be made. It seems to me, gentlemen, that we are here doing business in an official capac ity, as members of the Senate and House of Representatives, and I do not remem ber the name of Michaud among the names of Senators. And as a member of this Joint convention I doubt, at the pres ent time, whether our presiding officer has any right to make an arbitrary rul ing, striking out the name of one mem ber and substituting another. This convention has no information whereby the chairman makes such a ruling, unless it is made up from the program furnished the members of the i nouse. i In this plun of the seats of members of the House,. and in seat 109, the name of Michaud is printed in there. And I mif very much surprised when it was calleB to my attention that Michaud's name had been printed in there some days a;to. 1 do not know that any member of this House, x have not been informed that any member knew there was a member of the House by the name of Michaud. If so, it seems to me there should be some communication from the House from some official who is connected -with this Joint convention. I therefore re spectfully appeal from the decision of the Chair. I Chairman HERSEY: The chair wishes to state, and it is the duty of the Chair to give a reason for any ruling it may make where there is any question made. ^The roll of this convention is made up I by the Chair, by taking the roll of the J House as furnished by the clerk of the j House and the roll of the Senate as fur- j nished by the Secretary of the Senate, and combining them alphabetically! That was what was done some days ago. It is true that no official action has been brought to the attention of the Chair, but the Chair, as a member of this joint j convention, and as a member of this Legislature, must recognise some things. The Chair was present yesterday in this hall of Representatives when the House of Representatives unseated by a vote the gentleman from Van Buren, Mr. i Thibodeau, and seated in “his stead Fort unat O. Michaud of Van Buren. That much came to the knowledge of the Chair. If I am wrong in changing the 1 membership of the House, the clerk of the House sits here and he can correct me. Clerk HARVEY of the House: Mr. Chairman, according to my records you are correct. My record shows that For tunat O. Michaud of Van Buren has taken the place of Levtte V. Thibodeau of Van Buren. as the representative from that class, and he has been duly qualified and taken his seat. I will also say, if you will allow me, that the copy for this House diagram, to which Senator j Cole has referred, was sent to the office correctly, with the name of Mr. Thibo- i deau in its proper place in the copy Chairman HERSEY: The Chair rules! that the Clerk is out of order In going into tiie details of this matter. The Chair may be wrong, but the Chair feels that there is no way In which this con vention can vote as to what shall con stitute its membership: that by custom and usage the joint convention must be made up by the Chair from a roll-call, and that nobody else has any right to For Lumbago, Sore Throat aud Neuralgia Mustarine is Best _ It Won’t Blitter—Always Ready—Juste!

The Chair has arbi trarily, so to speak, made up that roll: the Chair has arbitrarily changed that roll In "accordance with the fact, as he understands it. From this ruling the Senator from York '(Mr. Cole) has ap pealed to the convention. The Chair wishes to make this explanation, and further that this matter be submitted to the joint convention without debate. The question is: Shall the decision of the Chair stand as the judgment of this convention? Those in favor will say, yes; those opposed will say, no. A viva voce vote being doubted, Mr. Higgins of Brewer called for a division. A division was ordered. Chairman HERSEY: Tho Chair ap points as monitors of the Convention the monitors of the House. The question before the Convention is: Shall the de cision of the Chau- stand as the judg ment of the Convention?

The Chair v. ishcs to say before we separate that he feels that' lie is under {treat obligations to the members of this Convention for the patience which they have exhibited during the sessions of the joint convention. These have been trying days. The Chair has attempted in every way to act so chat when we got through with this convention there should be no bad taste in our mouths: there should be no bad feelings among the members of the several parties; that there should be no bad feeling be tween the Senate and the House, and be tween the several members. There has been at times warm and earnest contests for several of the candidates presented here: that is necessary, and that is to be expected, but 1 am pleased to say that I believe, as one rifember of this Conven tion, that the business of the Convention has been carried on in good faith and with tlie best of intentions, and that it ends up with the best of feeling existing between its members. The best man, lei us hope, has won. Gentlemen, there are serious and sol emu duties for the members of this leg islature in both branches to perform for tiie people of this state; this matter of the election of state officials has been only an incident in the great work of this legislature. I.et us enter upon those du ties feeling that every member is honest and with the intention on the part of each member of doing the best work he can for the State of Maine. Let us keep party lines away whenever we can; whenever we clash on party lines, let us do it with a feeling of friendship. Again, gentlemen, I thank you for your consid eration and courtesy to the Chair.

CO, for the benefit of the Clinton High school. The drama has already beer, given to the citizens of Clinton and Albion during the past month, but is sure to attract a large number next week. Rev. Francis P. Furber, for 54 years an honored citizen of Clinton, passed away suddenly Thursday morning some time before daylight. being found dea-d in bed by his daughter, Mrs. Jennie Stewart, at whose home Mr. Furber had lived for many years. He would have been 9o years of age at his next birthday, May 31. He was born in Winslow and when the call went out for volunteers in "61 and he enlisted in Co. H, 19th Maine and fought in many prominent engage ments. among which was Fredericks burg, Chancellorsville, Bristol tit a non, Rappahanoclt Station, Martin's Fort, Antietam and The Wilderness. He was seriously wounded at Fredericks burg and stayer! in the hospital for many weeks. He lost an arm In the Battle of the Wilderness which cause! his retirement.

TL Hathaway, pastor of the Free Pantist church from the home on Main street. The G. A. R. and W. R. C. have been invited to be present. NORTH CLINTON rf j searchers have not given up all hope that the body will be recovered, al though they axe just where they went in regard to the finding of the body as when they began the hunt on Dee. There is scarcely a person but believes the man has been brutally murdered, and that FVeeman Nadeap. who is in’the county jail, had hand In the crime. Sheriff Bryson claims Nadeau could tell considerable if he would, and there are several others he feels know more than they will tell in regard what really happened on that memor able Monday night. Sheriff Bryson says: “We arc going slow: there are many things to be explained by parties in regard to their actions on that particular night, and what we want, is to locate the body, the rest will be easy sailing. The county officers feel that those who can throw any light upon this mystery will be much better off in the end if they tell all they know, thereby helping the state save considerable ex pense and the truth is bound to come out, sooner or later. The county will spare no expense nor leave one clew unturned to locate the guilty party. The officers have considerable knowl edge in their possession, nearly every day uncovers something else to help fix the guilt, yet the thing sought for most, is the finding of the body. Sher iff Bryson says that arrests will not1 be made until the proper time, which is not at present. He also claims other witnesses have come forward and said they saw Freeman Nadeau in Patten on Monday night. Sheriff j Bryson saw him there, although Na- j deau denies it, saying the sheriff was i mistaken. Sheriff Bryson says: “I was on my way to one of my lumbering camps above Shinn pond. I met Nadeau about one and a half miles outside of Patten vil lage. Xedeau was going toward the vil lage and on the Patten road. I do not oare what he says, but I know I saw him between 4.30 and 5 P. M. I had a talk with Sheriff Hillman just a short tifne before I left Houlton over the tele phone. Deputy Hillman called me up and asked what he would do about Freeman Nadeau's liquor? I asked him whst he meant and he replied, “Will I hold the liquor,' and I answered, 'Yes, you hold it.' Hillman replied, 'Nadeau Is malting some awful threats against you and ras.' I told Hillman never to mini his threats. Naturally when I met Nadeau In the road that day, the conversation came to me and 1 am cer tain of the man He is a fellow that everybody knows, and I have been go ing over that road for a number of years, right by Nadeau's house." '"tjunmle Qrr testified that Nadeau cams into the Pomeroy dining-room and sat at the table witb him for supper. Pomeroy's little daughter toW Sheriff Bryson, Nadeau had bis supper, at their home qn Monday night. Afterwards she Ma to deny this Mr and Mrs. Pom eroy denied it and Pomeroy claims that his team was not out of. the stable, yet it was seen by more than one party, who claim there wore two men in the team, as it wont along the island Palls road. These things will have to be eg* plained to the satisfaction of the offi cers. Then, again, Nadeau says he did not leave his home at Shinn pond until after 6 P. M.t but a woman has been found who saw him leave his home a little after 4 P. M., and he was on the' Fatten road, going towards the village. Xadeau says he was no where near Patten, that he left his home about 6 or a little after and 'vent as far as Peavey’s corner, then taking a logging road coming out on the Cowteam road which took him to Walter Stone's place in Crystal where he stayed all night. Many haave thought the body of Deputy Hillman was burned in one of the furnaces at the tannery. Sheriff Bryson says: “'Anyone who thinks that simply doesn't know what he is talking about. There are three large furnaces there side by side. Six men are used during the 24 hours in at tending the fires, three by day and three by night, and during the Zi hours there is not a single minute but what three men are in attendance, ail using from the same woodpile. All six men are Americans and can be trusted.” THE BATES TRACK TEAM SCHEDULE Lewiston.

MADISON Edgar Beaulier, Aged 12, Points Rifle in Fun, Pulls Trigger And Kills a 2-Year Old Infant BIRTHDAY SURPRISE PAR-! TY MUCH ENJOYED The "-months old infant of Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Hively was shot and killed late Wednesday afternoon at their resi dence on lower Old Point avenue. Mrs. Hively was attending a revival meeting at the Methodist churchy leaving the children in care of Mr. Hively, who is an employe of the Great Northern Paper Co.

Soon after Mr. Hively left, Edgar Beau lier, the 12-years-old son of Mr. and Mrs. John went to the HIVely home. He ob- t talned possession of a rifle and while details as related by the children are somewhat confused, is said to have pointed the rifle at the baby's head, not knowing It was loaded, and discharged the weapon. The bullet entered the back of the head and came out through the forehead. Dr. W. S. Miliiken was called and dressed the wound, but the child lived for only three hours after the accident. The parents of both families are nearly prostrated with grief over the affair. No action has been taken as yet toy the local officers of the law in j regard to the Beaulier boy.

Most Old People Are Constipated The wear of years impairs the action of the bowels. With ad vancing age people are disposed to restricted activity and exer cise. which is responsible for the constipated condition of most old folks. The digestive organs are more sensitive to the demands made upon them and rebel more quickly. A mild, effective remedy for constipation, and one that Is especially suited to the needs of elderly people, women and chil dren. Is the combination of sim ple laxative herbs with pepsin that is sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. A free trial bottle can bo obtained by writing to Dr. W. B.

BANKRUPT LIABLE TO ARREST IN SUIT FOR A PROVEN DEBT Boston, Jan. 14.—The full bench of the supreme court ruled today that if a bankrupt who Is sued on a debt which is provable in bankruptcy does not plead his discharge, he Is liable to arrest on execution. This is the first time, it is said, that the rights of a debtor under the federal bankruptcy laws have been decided by the state supreme court. The question arose in the case of Frank Hersehman, against whom the State Bank of Xew York held notes amount ing to S1200. The bank was not a part; to the bankruptcy proceedings but sub sequently obtained judgment by default against Hersehman in the superior court When cited before the municipal court for examination under the poor debt* law, Hersehman applied to the suprenu court for a writ to prohibit the munlcl pal court from taking action against hiu, on the ground that lie was protected to his discharge in bankruptcy. The su preme court denied the petition. lirst part of the evening was devoted to the routine business, and the later part of the evening was enjoyably pass ed in playing games, and contests. The hostess served refreshments during the evening. The merry party dispersed at a late hour, all declaring Rev. and Mrs. 'mis: and their son and daughter to be the best of entertainers. Mrs. Edward B. Hinckley of Augusta, was in town, Thursday, for the day, calling on relatives and friends. FAIRFIELD CORNER Mrs. Rose Greene has been very ill for several days.

SEC’Y BRYAN (Continued from Page One) Let me know what is requisite together with the salary and when appointments are likely to be made. Suliivan will be down before long and you and he together ought to be able to bring about such reforms as may be necessary there, courageous, reliable fellow. The more 1 have seen of hint, the better satisfied 1 am that he will fit into the place there and do what is necessary to be done. "Very truly yours, (Signed) “\V. j. BRYAN*. Pulliam further testified that he had warned Assistant Secretary of State Osborne in J'lily, 1913, "under no cir cumstances to have anything to do with the Banco N'acional crowd," and had explained the character of the institution to him and that it was seeking to exploit Dominican finances. “1 was surprised and Incensed,” he said, "that such a coterie got to Bry an's ears. I was sorry to see the re ceivership of customs made the sub ject of political exploitation. I recall ed the instructions which Secretary Root gave me when he said that those funds should be added as a sacred trust. For eight years the receiver ship tiad been operated without any trouble and the difficulties that later arose were unquestionably caused by Sullivan's transferring the funds to the Banco Xacional. That was what they wanted. They wanted to establish a credit for themselves. Why. nobody would accept their not^s of issue ex cept as handbills on the streets. Pulliam said he had no doubt that the Jarvis interests were responsible for his removal. It developed accord ing to the testimony, that the customs funds were eventually transferred to the Michelena Bank, the original de pository and institution supposed to represent the National City Bank of New York and in this connection Pul liam said that on July 1G last, in com pany with Senator Chamberlain of Oregon, he saw Secretary Bryan in Washington. Objection to Pulliam This is what Mr. Bryan told th“ senator," testified the witness “My objection to Pulliam is that he was entirely too friendly with Michelena. I said: ‘Now that your administration has been forced to put back the funds into the Michelena Bank, don't you think I have been vindicated?' He evaded the question by saying: 'It has not been offi cially brought to my attention that the transfer has been made.' ‘‘Did Mr. Bryan appear to be obsessed with the belief that the power behind McNamara was The National City Bank which represented to hi mthe so-called money trust?" asked Commissioner Phelan. "He did." replied the witness. The Jarvis interests were piqued he added, because the National City Bank had handled a *1.500,000 loan for the gov ernment in which Michelena acted as their agent. They had represented that the National City Bank was seeking to exploit the island, he said, but as far as he knew the New York institution had no other interest in Santo Domingo. Vick took the witness stand and testi fied that Secretary Bryan at the recom mendation of Boss Bong, until lately head of the Latin-Amerlcan department and a friend of J. G. Gray, who was a great friend of the Banca National, and appointed Charles M. Johnston of Indian apolis as financial expert for the re public. Brjan told me that Johnston would get **XtO a year and expenses,” said the witness. "Johnston was a salesman in Mexico, and as far as I know has never had an experience that would quality him for the job. He's been down thee six months and hasn't done a thing yjt I was instructed to pay his salary, but I refused because it would have been Il legal under the terms of our conv«. tion with the republic. Johnston Is sup posed to be a sort of comptroller, a offi ecpieked out of the skies."

J., Jan. 14.—President John Grier Hibhen of Princeton L'r.i ersitv, in his annual report presented to the board of trustees today, ex pressed tin Itope that paid coaches in athletics would soon disappear. Ath letics are suffering from an over-or ganized system of coaching, he said, ttnd he believed that more responsi bility should be placed on team cap tains. If undergraduates should be releas ed front unnatural domination of their sports by graduate coaches," lie said. intercollegiate sport would be h berated from the abnormal incubus of a superimposed system which tends to nvaki puppets of the players President Hibben in the report said: our athletics not only in Prince ton but throughout the country, are suffering from an over-organized sys tem of coaching. I hope that the lime nia; soon come when the paid coach will disappear. Jh and his eoyr-in croasing number of assistants, all of whose expenses prove a heavy drain ujxin the athletic treasurer and tend to keep up the gate receipts of inter collegiate contests at an abnormal figure, render intercollegiate sport an unduly expensive affair. Particularly in the game of football, the captain of the team should be the sole responsive person for the manage ment of his men, devising and directing their play in practice games so that in the critical situations of the great con test he and his team will rise to the oc casion and win or lose with honor. “:t is quite absurd when one comes to think f it. that the control of the team in all preliminary games should be in the hands of a body of men who are re legated to tlie side lines when tlie p ay is on. After ail it is an undergraduate affair and the game should be p uined and played by undergraduates, if you j place upon them the responsibility, they ■will respond to it, for it is certain that I responsibility always provokes efh ien y. That men may be resourceful in time of emergency they must be schooled in .the art of resourcefulness by sonic stim ulation of their latent powers of ingeii uity. "If we release our undergraduates from the unnatural domination of their sports by graduate coaches an i from 1 the confusion of many minds and voices in the direction of their activities tv will simplify the whole athletic situa tion and liberate intercollegiate sport from the abnormal incubus of a super- 1 imposed system which tends to make (puppets 'of tne playeps, limiting the spontaneity and free play of their natural j initiative AFFIDAVITS TO BE FILED IN THE BASEBALL CASE Chicago, Jan. 1-?.—Every club own er in the American and National leagues, the president of the leagues and some minor league club owners, v ill file affidavits giving the organiz ed side of baseball in the Fedeial Leagues anti-trust suit next week, it is said.

The cutter put in here today with the captain of the American fishing sehoi ner Nile, who was suffering from appendicitis. He was taken off his vessel at Shelbgrne and then the An droscoggin dashed to this port so that the patient might obtain expert treat ment under the best conditions at a hospital. Physicians at the institution i to which he was taken said that the i treatment given him aboard the cut ter was such that an operation may not now be necessary.

WHEAT TAKES A k-UER SN THE CHICAGO MARKET Chicago, Jan. 14.—‘Exports to end soon" Was the cry that today sent wheat flying up almost out of sight to $1.43}. Flour, which formerly sold at retail at 7" cents a sack, went today^to the house holder at cents. The dollar sack was said to be in sight. Five governments of Europe were re ported today to be actively in the wheat market on this side or the Atlantic, in addition to a larger number of individual buyers from foreign fields than ever before known. The result was figured to! be exportation at the rate of k,(M.',tM> to }iy.(*<i,et».i bushels a week. While the wheat market today was in a blaze of excitement, the minority of farmers who still own wheat were said to be in many cases banging on for $3 a bushel. Approximately 35 per cent, of the loll crop is estimated by experts to be still in the hands of farmers. The governments which are direct pur cl'.asers in the United States are the Swiss. Greek. Italian, Dutch and French. So far the British government has done nothing as a government, but Great Bri tain's food suppb' is said to be down to a frj-day basis and it Great Britain as a government should enter the market the result, in the opinion of Chicago experts, would be hard to foresee.

RUSSIANS DENY BEING FORCED BY THE TURKS Petrograd, Jan. 14.—The official report from the Caucasus army, issued tonight, follows: “To avoid any false understanding of our operations in Azerbaijan during the last few days, the general staff of the Caucasus army deems it expedient to give the following explanation: “From the beginning of the decisive action in the principal region of this theatre of the war, it appeared necessa r yto re-group our troops. In accordance with this we proceeded in Azerbaipanto concentrate our troops at certain places, which demanded the evacuation of sever al points we had occupied previously. “This rearrangement of our forces was not under pressure of the enemy but in accordance with a specially devised plan. During the operation no important ac tion took place except an engagement which our advance guard had near Mian dous. Thus we did not evacuate Azerbai jan, but adopted changes in positions an swering better the new development.” COLBY STARTS WILLIAMS BASEBALL SCHEDULE Williamstown, Mass., Jan. 14.—A new departure on the Williams baseball schedule this year will be a southern trip during the Easter recess, when six games will be played.

SPEECHES IN FRANCE DROWNED BY CANNON Paris, Jan. 14 6.55 P. M.—"Speeches must give way to the voice of cannon.

He who seeks repentance for the past Should woo the angel Virtue in the future.—Bulwer Lytton. When the Law Is in the Way, Why— A short time ago Hon. W. J. Bryan discovered a flask sticking out of the hip pocket of the Democratic party. He wa3 duly shocked, despite the fact that ho had been told, years ago, that it was there. He was aggrieved because Democracy had not called his attention to it. He had not believed the Republican press. Some day law-respecting Democrats like Mr. Bryan will awaken to another fact, that whenever statutes conflict with. Democratic desires the laws are recklessly swept aside. Maine has just witnessed another demonstration of this well known characteristic. Maine law provides for a secret bal- i lot. It goes so far that a voter may not display his ballot for information purposes. The purpose of the law is obvious and the law is respected by the public at large. But in the Maine Legislature for party purpose the law was wilfully set aside by the Dem ocrats in secret caucus, because the law threatened to overthrow their j plans for securing office. A distinctive j Democratic-’ ballot was introduced, j so that thdso watching the voting could check the ballots of every Dem ocratic member of the Joint convention and thus prevent one of them from voting the Republican ticket as he has been doing from the first day. When the caucus agreement was over ruled by the chair an attempt was made to discount the ruling. It was an incident typical of the party In the past, it is true today— when the law is in the way of the at tainment of Democratic desires, cir cumvent the law. It was so in the count-cut, a generation ago; it will remain a party earmark until such as Mr. Bryan are listened to, in re gard to the dangers of identifying the party by evil associates and reprehen sible means. Here is an indisputable fact, deny it if you can: From the hour the joint convention was called to order illegal means have been resorted to, to secure and main tain the Democratic vote necessary for a choice of the officers elected. If the methods adopted were as close ly scrutinized and passed upon by the courts, as the legislature itself has scrutinized an passed upon close ly contested elections of its own mem bership, the law making body itself would be disqualified. A few of the incidents upon which we base this claim were notoriously plain to membership, officers, press and visitors, and are fresh in the minds of all. The voting of one member when it was necessary to select his ballot and place it in the box for him, was illegal. The caucus-instructed es pionage of the balloting was illegal and in brazen defiance of letter and spirit of Maine's secret ballot. The holding up of ballots, for inspection by the man with the check list, was illegal. The Introduction of a distinct ive Democratic ballot was illegal. The law making body should govern itself by the laws it has made for the people. To act otherwise arouses con tempt for one of the triune powty^ of our form of government. Closely allied to illegality is the “right of might'' as manifested in the unseating of a member through the court rulings of another state when* excuse could not be found in -the legal decisions of our own. Unseating a member of the Maine Legislature by authority from Wisconsin seems rather far-fetched, at least, but when the act is justified by its promoters l.-y open contempt of court interpre tations of Maine law, then it typifies Democratic procedure.. Death,to American Ship Building? The somewhat surprising utterance of President Wilson at Indianappolis in defiance of dictation by the mem bers of his or any other party, sug gests to the people of Maine just what opposition they may expect in the White House to their hope for any cncouragment of ship building or American shipping interests. The Pres ident has made the ship purchase bill un administration measure and will use every power of his high office to drive through this Cong*ess, in sea son and out of season, the measure which he has espoused. As in the case of the repeal of the tolls exemption law, he stands unalterably opposed to any measure of relief to ship build ing or the shipping Interests of the country. Last year the time was ripe for the inauguration of a general upbuilding of the American marine. Every con dition in this country and In condi tions abroad, except the approval of the administration, favored the be ginning of a remarkable revival of the American merchant marine. Hope was revived In the ship building cen ters and Maine for a time had its dream of the activities of other years along the lower shores of its big rivers. 1 f The first blow was the President's de ternUnatiofi to sacrifice ship building and water shipping interests to the great cross country railroads. Repeal of free tolls for American ships be tween American ports, through the channel built, owned and protected by the American people, was accomplish ed and the hope which had shone brightly for a few brief weeks was lost. And then came the President's own recommendation for a ship pur chase bill. While President Wilson advocates this wholesale purchase of foreign built ships to he owned and operated by the government, the United States Senate and Republicans in the House are organizing to fight sucli an un American policy to the end. Under the provisions of the bill a shipping board, composed of the Sec retary of the Treasury, the Postmaster General and the Secretary of Com merce, may subscribe to the capital stock of any corporation new or here after organized under the laws of the United States, or of any state thereof, or of the District of Coulinbia, for the purpose of purchasing, constructing, maintaining and operating merchant vessels in the trade between the At lantic, gulf or Pacific ports of the United States and the ports of Cen tral and South America and elsewhere, to meet the requirements of the com merce of the United States. The real question at issue seems to be whether or not such legislative act ion as proposed is either necessary or advisable. Leading United States Sen ators are of the opinion that it is not. We believe they are right on this ground and others to be mentioned later. United States Senator Bur feigb and other Republicans of the 1 Maine delegation in Congress will op pose the President’s measure. The ad vocates of the measure advance the theory that shipping facilities I for the transportation of our I exports abroad under existing conditions aro inadequate, but appear not to accept the testimony of experienced and practical men that the present situation is due mainly not to any extensive lack of vessels, but to the present unstable foreign exchange operations, scarcity of fore ign labor for handling commerce, and particularly to the high cost of mar ine insurance, and that with relief in these directions greater activity will follow and the present and future requirements of commerce met by private enterprise.

It Failed to Convince Congress. Russia, in recently decreeing the national suppression of the liquor tratlic, has Riven a tremendous ob ject-lesson to the civilized world. With a single stroke of the Czar's pen, it sacrificed $500,000,000 of its annual rev enue. But what a transformation was effected in the nation! George Kennan describes in the Outlook how the sup pression of the liquor traffic was fol lowed by a phenomenal decrease in crime tnmughout the empire. Jails formerly filled with drunken crimin als are now nearly empty. Many cities report from 50 to 90 per cent decrease in offenses of all kinds: murders, rob-, beries, assaults, etc. He cites reports from over a score of populous centers as proot of the change showing that in inanv plr.ces not only have crimes almost disappeared, hut the people themselves have become industrious, thrifty ar.d contented. Refute the royal edict was passed, Russia nad a brief experience of several weeks in prac tical prohibition4. Then, when it was proposed to re-establish the liquor trat?;c, the whole nation uniteft in an appeal for its permanent extinction The good results had become so ap parent that all classes desired the con tinuance of prohibition. Five months have passed, and Russia has apparent ly settled down contentedly to the new orderNof things.—Christian Her ald. Th? good results so apparent In Russia were not to be compared in an American Congress with the "rev enue" to be derived from the booze business. The People or the Speculators? We sieze this opportunity to go on record in entire agreement with a Dem ocratic exchange. The Louisville Courier Journal, edited by the grand old man of Democracy, voiced our sen timents in Colonel Watterson’s own forceful, picturesque but elegant lan guage when he said: “When flour passes $8 a barrel in a country which harvested its greatest wheat crop six or seven months ago, and which is at peace with the world, the daylight robbery of the millions for the interest of the speculators in wheat is a matter so serious that it calls imperatively for a Federal inves tigation to determine whether the peo ple of the United States are helpless in the hands of gamblers. “We boast our 'land of the brave and home of the free.’ Who is free where the prices of the necessities of life are not determined by the demand and the supply even by the demand from bel ligerent countries and the supply in a peaceful country, but are fixed in ac cordance with the plans and coups of speculators? “Ancient history bristles with records of the exportation of wheat being for bidden by autocratic decree when the situation warranted a forecast of fam ine. A condition very nearly approach ing famine will be brought about In America if the price of wheat goes to a point at which the price of bread will double what it Is under normal condition. The people of America are rich In comparison with the hungry millions of Asia. J3ut they are not well enough oft to pay $2 for $1 worth of flour that handful of players in a game In which necessities are used as the basis of Il legitimate transactions may buy steam yachts at the expense of wage-earners. “A good deal was said about an em bargo on wheat when the war began, and about an investigation to regulate the American market for American consumers. Now is the time to inves tigate. Congress is in session.” So “it is lonely living in Washing ton!” Well, it is lonely living any where, for one who holds his own views so far superior to those of any with whom he mayvcome in contact. We recotnmend to the editor of the Biddeford Record that he take something for what ails him.—Manchester Union. Entrance to the Pownal Home is by commitment. Maine Gossip Living. (By Lucy Larcom.) “How to make lives worth living?” The question haunts us every day; It colors the first flush of sunrise, It deepens the twilight's last ray. There is nothing that brings us a drearier pain Than the thought, •'We have lived, we are living in vain.” We need, each and all, to be needed. To feel we have sornathing to give Toward soothing the moan of earth's hunger; And we know that then only we live When we feed one another, as we have been fed. From that Hand that gives body ifnd spirit their bread. Our lives they are well worth the living When we lose our small selves in the whole. And feel the strong surges of being Throb through us, one heart and one soul. Eternity bears up each hcr.est endeavor; The life lost for love is life saved and i forever.

And now it is rumored, according to the Portland lb-ess, that Virgil C. Wilson, Esq., will be named as United States district attorney to fiil the vac ancy caused by the death of Stephen C. Perry. Mr. Wilson has not been a candidate for the position, but it is j understood that he would accept it. The Wiscasset Echo, with pardonable j pride reports the following: Recently a young woman from Port Hand was in New York and with, a party visited the rooms where the packing is done for the war. Someone in the party spoke of Maine and a nice-looking woman who seemed to belong in the rooms, said quickly, “Do you come from Maine?” “Yes, I live there.” "Do you know of a place call ed Wiscasset?” "Y'es.” And then the woman asked a great many questions and said that among all the packages she had looked over, the goods from Wiscasset were altogether the best adapted to their use, planned with most intelligence and well made. She wished to go on record as saying that, for "a place in Maine called Wisscas An interesting point has come up in Bath concerning the legal control a teacher has over a pupil when out side the school limits and outside the school hours. The case arose from the alleged •'sassing” of a teacher by a i pupil, when the teacher corrected the pupil for an act which the former con sidered improper. Most of the Bath lawyers have looked up the law and scent to agree that the pupil is legal ly under the control of tjte teacher from the minute the pupil leaves the home for school until he or she arriv- es back at the home from the school.

Editorial Comment

The Secret Bailot. (Portland Evening Express.) It was unworthy of Senator Boynton, regarded heretofore as exceptional in his fairness, to stand before the joint con vention at Augusta yesterday and maintain that the method of balloting prescribed by the Democratic caucu^, devised as it is believed by himself, and lay claim to secrecy or any semblance of secrecy for that ballot.- Up to the time that Senator Cole made his protest the espionage exercised over the vote was as complete as it could be. Not a Detnocrat placed his ballot in the box that it was not observed by at least one member of --'the Democratic side of that committee, for the men were so placed that however the vote was de posited it could be distinctly seen. If the ballot as understood in Maine carries with it the idea of secrecy, and Mr. San born In his argument left no doubt that it does, then the ballot for secretary of State was not a legal one, for there was no secrecy about it. There ought.to be some dignity about the proceedings of the great and general court of Maine. Such dignity was lack ing up to the time that the Republicans protest was made. Although the Repub licans were not successful in changing the method of voting, they did succeed in so shaming the Democratic caucus methods that the spy system was aband oned as a matter of fact, though it was kept up to in form. For the committee men conducted themselves in a much more seemingly manner after the protest was made, indicating that Democrats dread the public displeasure, and It Is as certain as anything can be that they would have felt that displeasure had they continued to spy upon the legis lators, as they did at first.

TRAIN THROWN FROM TRACK BY EARTHQUAKE London, Jan. 14.—The experience* of a passenger on a train which was thrown from the track by the earthquake are re lated in a dispatch from Rome to the Central News. Our train was near Lake Fusirfo when the earthquake occurred," he said. "There was one shock of great violence, follow ed by three others. The train was thrown off the rails and many of the passengers were injured. "I climbed out of the train and gazed around on the lake and the surrounding mountains. Where there had been towns 1 could merely see enormous whirlwinds of dust and smoke. Apparently the towns existed no longer.” The dispatch adds that almost all the way to Tivoli buildings along the rail ways were in ruins. Troops sent from j Rome were able to rescue hundreds of persons at many places, but cries for i help were heajd from beneath ruined j buildings in a large number of instances j i tyvhich it was impossible to effect a speedy release of the victims. It is estimated that 4000 persons were buried alive under the wreckage at Avez zano. Throughout the night shouts for help could be heard. In once instance a school building collapsed, burying 200 children, many of whom are still alive. It is stated that 400 soldiers were in the barracks at Avezzano when it collapsed and that only four of them escaped.

BASKETBALL TEAM WINS ITS FIRST CAME BY 36 T010 One of the fastest games of basket ball seen in this city for iong time was pulled off Thursday evening in the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium when the team representing’that institution took the Community Club of Gardiner into camp by a final tally of 36 to 10. Tr.e Y. M. C. A. team played its first game and the quality of basketball that the aggregation put up was ehough to convince even the most pessimistic spectator, had there been any of that kind in the audience, that this five is "some” fast. The Gardiner quintet was outclass ed from the start and the fast pass ing and star shooting of the local team kept the visitors forever on the de fensive. From the time the referee's whistle sounded the Y. M. C. A. team started out with a dash and kept tne pace throughout the entire contest. Henna and Thompson were "there” with seven and six goals respective ly. Smiley caged three from the floor. Th6 entire team played the class cf basketball that everyone likes to see and if the. team keeps up its pace j it will make all of the Maine aggre gations worry. The contest was clean from the start, not a second being taken out for argument. Secretary Goodman refereed to the satisfaction of all. The Gardiner lads found it diffi cult to cage the leather when oppor tunity presented itself, due undoubt edly in a large measure to the fact that they were not used to the bas kets.

Utilities Recommends Protec tion of Dangerous Auburn Crossing Moosehead Telephone Lease CHARITIES REPORTS South Calling for Maine Pota toes—Heavy Fine for Game Law Violation Paid by Offender—Cfiat Tlie Public Utilities Commission has rendered a decision upon the death of Miss Alice H. Brown of Auburn, aged 59, who was struck and instantly killed at the Court street crossing of the Maine Central Railroad in Auburn by passenger train 244, Lewiston to Rum ford, in chargj of Conductor Morton and Engineer Bon ney, at about 1.52 P. TU.. January 4, 1915. In conclusion the commissioners say: “This accident probably occurred for the simple season that the victim of it did not notice that the gates were down, and walked along blindly. She ought to have taken notice, but the fact remains that she did not. What she did is likely to occur again unless it is guaredd against. This can be done by erpupping the gates so that they will protect this sidewalk. Considering the location of the crossing and the extent of its use, we think that this should be done with out delay. We therefore recommend that the Maine Central Railroad cause the gates at this crossing to be so changed or constructed that they will extend across the sidewalk when down. This may. and we expect will, be accom plished without the necessity of formal proceedings.” Commissioners Approval of Proposed Lease In the matter of the application of the I Moosehead Telephone Co., for approval of its proposed lease of its property and rights of to Edwin S. Mason for a term of five years from Jan. 1, 1915, the hear- j ing uon which was held Jan. 13 at the office of the Tublic Utilities Commission, the commissioners havb ordered: "That said Moosehead Telephone Co. be au thorized to lease its property and rights by executing, between itself and said Edwin S. Mason, the lease of a copy of which is attached to the petition in this matter: all the foregoing being done in accordance with the provisions of Sec. 38.

OF MAINE t The Agricultural Extension service of the University of Maine announce two new Extension schools, one in Poultry Husbandry, the other in Farm Crops. The former school gives lectures and practise work in types and breeds, feed ing management and housing of poultry during two days. The latter school re quires three days and deals with crop growing, seed selection and testing, dis ease prevention and comparative values. The crops studied are. corn, oats, hay and potatoes. In each ’school the method I of work calls for both lectures by the instructors and practise work by the members of the school. As far as instructors are available these schools will be held during January and February. To secure a school it is necessary for 25 people to agree in writ ing to attend the school and pay the lo cal expenses. These expenses are usual ly very small for each member. Petition blanks may be obtained by writing the Agricultural Extension Service at Orono, Maine. Many communities are already planning to secure a school, but dates are assigned In the order in which pe titions are received. Judging by last year more requests will be received than can be filled, so that early petitions are more likely to be granted than later ones.

COPYRIGHT. 1014, BY JOHN PLBMING WILSON This Picture Is Shown Each Week at COLONIAL, AUGUSTA.FRIDAY AND SATURDAY OPERA HOUSE, WATERV1LLE.WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY COLISEUM, GARDINER.WEDNESDAY AND THU ROD AY By this time the tumult had attract ed attention in the hotel und a half Cozen employees and. the house detec tive emerged from the stftirway to de mand an explanation. John sturted to explain, loosening his hold on the prostrate thief, when the latter with a quick twist of his lithe body freed himself and darted away. Dorr sped after him instantly. The chase was a short one. John caught him near the edge of the roof, tackled him low, and (hey crashed down together. The thief put up a furious fight, managing to get on his feet again in spite of his captor's ef forts to hold him till help came. See ing that he was about to escape him, John made one last desperate grapple.' caught him fairly and threw him heav ily. but not upon the roof. Unwittingly they had got to the very edge of the roof in their light, and Tell was flung clean into the air, to fall swiftly to the street below. “My God!" cried the detective, run ning up and peering over. "You have killed him!” It took some time to make matters clear; still longer for the detective to assure himself of the truth of John's statements. Meanwhile officers from the central station had arrived, called by the po liceman on the bent. To them also Dorr had to fell his story. “Well, the follow was a crook all right," conceded the sergeant, “for he had plenty of cocaine on him and a little jimmy." “It was an accident, my throwing him over the. edge." John protested. “I was merely trying to prevent his es I cape.” Ruth was then interrogated, and aft er listening to her story the whole par ty went down to her room. “We'd better see what he got, if any thing,” said the detective sergeant. “He may have taken other things,” "What’s the matter at the mine?" she faltered, ‘‘but all I saw was the pa pe*s.” “Well, we ll have a look-see for pa pers,” responded the detective amiably. When the officers had gone away Ruth turned and greeted the cook of the “Master Key” with unfeigned af fectiou and delight. “Tom, whatever brought you here?” she demanded at last. Kane scratched his head and glanced hastily at John. Then he looked at Ruth, so fair in the moonlight, and said gently: “Why, Ituthie, 1 just thought 1 couldn t stay away from old San Francisco when. 1 knew you was here. So 1 came light up.” “And the mine?” “The mine? Why, ain't John told ye? The boys are already workin’ on that new lead. Everything is line! Ye don't suppose old Tom Kane would have left if everything hadn't been all right?” She impulsively thVew her arms about his neck and hugged him. “You are the best old dear that ever was, and I have a thousand things to tell you!” “How did you get up here?” asked John curiously. Kane laughed and looked at his rusty hands. “They told me Ruth was In her room, and when i got there I found the door open and the window open, and when 1 looked out 1 saw her climbing and heard her calling. So I Just sauntered up myself.” “Well,” said John, “as'Ruth says she has a thousand things to tell you, and meanwhile we'd better be finding out just what that thief did get” Half an hour later Ruth looked up at them with tears in her eyes. “The papers are truly gone,” she said quietly. “Well, they shan't do anybody else any good," John said comfortingly, “and now that we have the thief I ex pect to dig out of him what he did with them. Don't worry!” They said good night and left her Quite cheered up. When her door was cloood John said briefly, “Come into my room, Tom.” .Once inside, he turned on the old cook and asked briefly. “What brought you here, Tom?” What’s the matter at the mine?" Kane threw out hlB hands in a de spairing gesture. “All hades (s the matter, John.” hs said bluntly. “If wo don't work fast Wilkerson will have ruined our Uttla girl in there. There won’t be any •Master Ivey’ any more!” He choked back a sob. John Dorr stared at the window, ut the lights of the city below him and shook his fist. “Wilkerson is somewhere down there doing his dirty work. I’ll get him yet” “Meanwhile he's got the mine In hit own men's hands,” the cook went .on. “He left Bill Tubbs in charge and Bill”—Kane choked over the words— “that drunken bound fired me—fired me. Tom Kane!” The old man’s wrath, humiliation, chagrin and' sorrow were not ridicu lous in John's eyes. None knew bet ter than he the worth and faithful ness of the old man. He held out hia hand and shook the cook’s fiercely. “By heavens, we’ll have the ‘Master Key’ back again, and it’ll be Tom Kane in the cook shanty 1" An hour later, with the details that Tom had given him arranged In his mind, John threw himself Into bed to toss the night through.

It may be also said with equal truth that no remedy has been found which Is a specific in all cases. In tact the literature of rheu matism shows that there are but few drugs which have not been given a trial. In the hands of one observer we find that a certain drug has been used with the utmost satis faction; others have found the same remedy to be a great disappointment. All physi cians however agree that every method ol treatment Is aided by the administration ol some remedy to relieve the pain and qnlet the nervous system and Dr. W. 8.

If skin breaks OUT AND ITCHES APPLY SULPHUR The moment you apply bold-sulphur fto an itching' or broken out skin, the itching stops and healing begins, eaya a. renowned dermatologist. This remarkable sulphur made into thick cream effects such prompt re lief, even in aggravated Eczema, that dt ia a never-ending source of amaze taent to physicians. For many years bold-sulphur has occupied a secure position in the treat ment of cutaneous eruptions by rea son of its cooling, parasite-destroying properties and nothing has ever been found to take its place in relieving irri table and inrtammatory affections of the skin. Whllo not always estab lishing a permanent cure, yet, in every instance, it immediately subdues the Itching irritation and heals the Ecze ma right up and it is often years la ter before any eruption again mani fests Itself. Any good pharmacist will supply an ounce of bold-sulphur, which should be applied to the affected parts like the ordinary cold creams. It isn't unpleasant and the prompt relief af forded is very welcome, particularly when the Eczema is accompanied with torturous itching.—Adv.

One authority says: “Broadly speak ing, every victim of the grip will suffer jfrom post-grippal neurasthenia also. Lowering of nervous tone, with in creased irritability is the most striking effect of the disease, with languor of mind and body, disturbed sleep and vague pains in the head and else where.’’ Every sufferer will recognize the symptoms. Wliat Is the remedy? After -the fever has passed and the influenza has subsided the diet should be more liberal but be limited to arti cles easily digested; rest and sufficient sleep are essential and Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are the only medicine re quired in most cases.

There is a way for you to eat what ever your stomach craves and do it over again the next day. Many will eav ‘‘How I wish I could but I have tried and every time it nearly kills me.” The real trouble Is that people who guffer the untold agony of Indigestion, do not properly care for the stomach. Every stomach has a lot of work to perform in digesting the food and if crowded with extra labor it rebels and kicks up'a fearful disturbance. Mi-o-na, a simple, harmless, inex pensive and moat effective prescrip tion, easily obtained at any drug store, will quickly stop this disturb ance. Mi-o-na was especially pre pared to regulate out-of-order stom achs. It not only helps the over worked digestive organs by increas ing the flow of gastric Juices, but sure ly and safely builds up and strength ens the stomach walls so that the stomach can care for the food as na ture intended. it’s needless for you to suffer with indigestion, heartburn, bilious ness. sour, gassy or upest stomach, for Mi-o-na should give prompt and lasting relief. Do not delay but get some of these health-restoring tab lets from Bowditch-Webster Co.’s to- j day. If Mi-o-na does not banish all stomach distress, there will not be a penny of expense.

SHAW DISCHARGED IN LIQUOR CASE Flowing a search of his place on the Thomaston road Wednesday afternoon by Deputy Sheriffs Nash of Vaesalboro and Pomerleau and Rice of Augusta, William W. Shaw was arraigned Thursday morn ing before Judge Lancaster of the mu r.iplpal court to answer to a charge of search and seizure of intoxicating liquor. The respondent was represented by for mer Judge Benedict F. Maher and en tered a plea of not guilty. The principal witness for the prosecu tion was Deputy Sheriff Nash, who testi fied to having seen the respondent in the act of spilling some whiskey from a pitcher into the sink. In addition to the testimony of the other two deputies relative to the searching of the house. Emery S.

SAGE TEA TURNS GRAY HAIR DARK It’s Grandmother’s Rec ipe to Bring Back Color and Lustre to Hair That beautiful, even shade of dark, glossy hair can only bo had by brew ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Your hair is your*charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray, streaked and looks dry, wispy and scraggy, just an application or two of Sage and Sulphur enchances its appearance a hundred fold. Don't bother to prepare the tonic; you can get from any drug store a 50« cent Bottle of ‘‘Wyeth's Sage and Sul phur Compound,” ready to use. Thi9 can always be depended upon to bring back the natural color, thickness and lustre of your hair and remove dand ruff, stop scalp itching and falling hair. Everybody uses “Wyeth's” Sage and Sulphur because it darkens so natur ally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dam pen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morn ing the gray hair has disappeared and after another application it be comes beautifully dark and appear* glossy, lustrous and abundant,—Advt OUCH! BACKACHE! RUB LUMBAGO OR STIFFNESS AWAY Rub pain from back with small trial bottle of old “St Jacob’s Oil.” dfc'hen your back is sore and Tama or lumbago, sciatica or rheumatism baa you stiffened up, don’t suffer! Get a small trial bottle of old, honest “St. Jacobs Oil” at any drug store, pour a little in your hand and rub It right on your aching back, and by the time yon count fifty, the soreness and lame ness Is gone. Don’t stay crippled! This soothing, penetrating oil needs to he used only once. It takes the pain right out and ends the misery. It is magical, yet absolutely harmless and doesn’t burn the skin. Nothing else stops lumbago, sciatica, backache or rheumatism so promptly. It never disappoints.—Ada.

Sixty-Fifth Annual Report Union Mutual Life Insurance Company Portland, Maine To Policyholders: THE Sixty-fifth Annual Re port, .exhibiting- the busi ness of the year and the statement of the Com pany on the thirty-first day of December, 1914, is herewith sub mitted. Life Insurance Companies are so frequently spoken of as finan cial institutions that the fact they are simply business corporations is commonly overlooked. A Life Insurance Company exists only for the purpose of insuring lives and payment of claims, and the charter of the Union Mutual Life insurance Company, granted by the State of Maine in 1848, so provides. The care and investment of the funds belonging to Policyholders is an obligation of the Directors, chosen by tho Policyholders, whose trustees they are, but the business in which the Company is engaged is the writing of Poli cies of Insurance and the pay ment of claims thereunder as they mature. Our Company was organized and commenced business in 1849, its first Policy having been writ ten on the life of Elisha B. Pratt, of Cambridge, Mass., the first President of the Company, on October 1st of that year, and paid as a Death Claim in February, 1861, since which time Insurance protection, aggregating millions of dollars, has been placed upon thousands of lives, and many mil lions of dollars have been re turned to Policyholders. No unusual pressure has been exerted to write new business during 1914, and general condi tions, to which it is unnecessary to make extended reference, have not been so favorable for the pro motion of the business of the Company as in many other years when commercial activities of all kinds have been more prosperous. Notwithstanding these condi tions, the unremitting labor of a loyal corps of Superintendents and Agents who are not only Becking their own livelihood, but are devoted to the interests of the Company, whose representatives they are, and the prosperity of which so largely depends upon them, has resulted in the fact that the New’ Insurance paid-for has been greater than the average of several years past, although not quite equalling the amount writ ten In 1913. During the year there have been paid-for 3,480 Policies of $6,289,790 Insurance, of which S34 Policies of $955,206 were upon the lives of residents of our Home State. Tho total number of paid-for Policies in Force upon the books of the Company is 43,861 of $65. 420,684 Insurance, a substantial increase over the amount in force at the end of the previous year. The total payments to Policy holders since organization of the Company have reached the sum of *52,212.750.80, of which *2,277, 910.29 were paid in 1914 for Death Claims, Matured Endowments, Dividends and Surrendered Poli cies, details of which are .in cluded in the appended state ment The oldest Policyholder who died during the year had reached the age of ninety-one years, hav ing been insured for more than forty-seven and one-half years, hut another Policyholder, who died at the age of ninety, had carried his protection sixty-three years and ten months. The aver age age of those who died during 1914 was fifty-five years, and the shortest period during which a Policy becoming a claim had been in force was two months and eleven days, death re sulting from electrocution by a live wire. Kourteen Policyhold ers died in 1914, whose Policies had been on the books of the Company less than one year, their ages varying from eighteen to sixty-two, and whose aggregate Insurance was *18,000. There were paid during the year under the extension feature of Union Mutual Policies, which has been explained at length In previous reports, 17 Policies of *25,035.01, bringing the total of Policies thus saved for bene ficiaries to 749, amounting to *1,381.715.88 Insurance upon which the Insured had ceased to pay premiums through neglect or for other causes, and which would have been lost to their beneficiaries but for the opera tion of this liberal provision. Until within a comparatively recent period a Policy loan was of infrequent occurrence, but com petition for business led some Companies to insert a loan agree ment in their Policies, with the result that when various States adopted standard forms of Poli cies such provisions were made compulsory, so that loans made to Policyholders on the security of their Policies now constitute a large and ever increasing per centage of tile assets of all Com panies. Loans of this character add to the interest income of the Companies, but reduce the pro tects e value of the Policies upon which they are made. This Com pany’s loans on Policies have in creased from *2,384,160.71, on December 31st, 1913, to *2,766, >53.58 at the end of the year 1914, and there were repayments of only *41,500.49 during the year. The management of the Com pany urges Policyholders who have borrowed upon their Poli cies to realize that their provision for those dependent upon them is lessened to the extent of the mortgages so placed upon their Policies and to repay the money which they have borrowed, as has been truthfully said, from their widows and orphans.

Oregon, California and the Dominion of Canada. Our Company loans to a lim ited extent both on approved in vestment securities and on mort gages of real estate as shown by the appended statement, but the present policy of the Finance Committee, which will be con tinued, is to chieily invest the funds of the Company in high grade obligations of States, Counties and municipalities in which its Policyholders live, and who, by the payment of the pre miums on their Policies, con tribute to its income. More than one million dollars of invest ments of this nature have been made during the year 1914. Although the book values of^he Company's holdings of real estate have been materially charged down during the year and con servative appraisal of all securi ties owned by the Company has been made, the Surplus nearly equals the figures of a year ago and the assets show substantial increase. While the book value of securi ties exceeds, as last year, the ap praised value, there has been ad vance in the worth of investment holdings, and the management feels justified in anticipating that such appreciation will continue during the coming year. The Directors and Officers look forward to a satisfactory year,, planning to conduct the affairs of the Company on thoroughly con servative lines in all departments. On September 10, 1914, Hon. Fred E. Richards, who had been the Chief Executive of the Com pany since November 1, 1893, de clined further service on account of impaired health, and his resignation was accepted by the Board of Directors with resolu tions of regret and appreciation. The official staff was- reorgan ized by the election of Officers who have long been identified with the management of the Company and who are pledged to unremitting efforts to promote its welfare. Respectfully submitted, ARTHUR L. BATES, President. Portland, Maine, Jan. 14, 1915. SKOWHEGAN The Closing Session of Pomona Grange Odd Fellows In stallation—Man Arrested Proves Wrong Party TRUST CO’S. ANNUAL MEET ING-PERSONALS After a very successful session Po mona Grange closed Wednesday. At tendance was good throughout the meetings and from reports of subordi nate Granges given by visiting mem bers all branches of Pomona are in excellent condition. First on the day's program came the installation of Po mona officers, which was begun by Mrs. Kate C. Ellis, but upon the un expected arrival of State Master C. S. Stetson, who came to this vicinity on business, the work was turned over to him and he finished installing the offi cers. Ella Flanders played a piano solo at recess. This was followed by .discussions on the question "What Is the Greatest Evil That Confronts the Drink Hot Tea For a Bad Cold Get a small package of Hamburg ‘Breast Tea, or as the German folks call it, "Hamburger Brust Thee," at any harmacy. Take a tablespoonful of the tea, put a cup of boiling water upon it, [pour through a sieve and drink a teacup fxfll at any time. It is the most effective iway to break a cold and cure grip, as dt opene the pores, relieving congestion. [Also loosens tho bowels, thus breaking fa cold at once. 1 It is inexpensive and entirely vege tfcmfk ii harmless.—Adv. American People at the Present time?” A. Burke of Bingham opened the discussion with the opinion that the liquor traffic and the drink habit is the greatest evil. Major J. W. Fogler was of the opinion that riches is the greatest evil in that it was so uneven ly divided and given to but a few. A song by Willis C. Hobart and a read ing by Mrs. Lizzie Watson of Smtth I field completed the forenoon program. Following dinner in the dining hall served under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. X. A. Withee and assistants, the afternoon program opened with earn est discussion of whether or not the annual Pomona meeting should be a one-day or two-days session here at Skowhegan. L. L. Allen of Fairfield opposed the two-day plan, as he said it put a great! burden on the enter taining Grange and it was hard for farmers, who comprise most Granges, to be away from home two days at one time. None of the other Pomona meetings last more than one day and some thought that by electing officers at the December meeting all the rest of the work could be done in one day here. C. H. Gardner, master of Skow hegan Grange, favored the two-days session and thought the townspeople did not feel any burden from Its length. The matter was left on the ta ble to be decided at the next month ly meeting of Pomona, in February. The other question discussed was "Do Farmers as a Class Keep Abreast of the Times in Agriculture as Do Those Engaged in Other Pursuits?” This question was opened by Willis C. Hobart and continued by A. S. Burke, Bingham, C. E. Hobart of East Mad ison, C. D. Miller of Skowhegan and George E. Foster of Cornville. It was the general opinion that farmers are more' upto date than men of other pursuits and it was said that an or tdiinarv farmer nowadays can save $100 a year where many in other lines of business cannot; furthermore, it is not the dunce who is left to be a farmer because he knows but little— on the contrary, the bright son is well educated for the pursuit of* agri culture. In the discussion of this top ic various matters of deriving larger profits were taken up, Including the raising of grain for stock entirely by the farmer himself, the feeding of grain to growing stock, and the raising of a larger variety of crops which was advocated by Mr. Foster. The program included: Son and en core, Miss Winifred Gardner; recita tion and encore, Mrs. Nellie Hill; song by quartet, Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Sanford, Winifred Gardner and Willis Hobart; song by choir. Miss Blanche M. Emory expects to go to Good Will farm Saturday to be present at the meeting of the Kenne becside Club wiht her mother, Mrs. Minnie Emory, at Christian Endeavor cottage. The Snow Bound Club held one of its delightful meetings Wednesday with Mrs. Vesta Webb, Pleasant street. Skowliegan Grange held its regular business meeting Wednesday evening. As this followed so close upon Pomo na no program was given. It is plan ned to have installation of the new officers at the next meeting and W. B. Whittier will be the installing officer. Odd Fellows Installation Carrabassett Lodge, No. 34, I. O. O. F., installed its officers Wednesday evening at a semi-public installation. The ceremony was performed in a pleasing manner by District Deputy Grand Master L. E. Jacobs, assisted by past grands as follows: Fred Wil liams, district deputy grond marshal; A. B. Lamb, D. D. grand warden; Hugh Hurley, D. D. grand secretary; A. R. Jewett, B. D. grand Bln. secre tary: Edward Spear, D. D. grand treasurer; L. C. Gerrish, D.

Oyster stew, coffee and doughnuts were served by a commit tee composed of A. A. Porter, E. E. Estabrook and E. B. Chase. Nearly 100 were present. The next regular meet ing of the lodge will be held Jan. 20. Deputy Sheriff Rufus McKenney of Madison arrived Wednesday evening from Houlton, where he had been to make an investigation. Officials here had been notified that one George Ellsworth, who is wanted for breaking, it is alleged, into the Great Northern boom house at ^.nson, had been found and was being detained in Houlton.

A bill will be presented to the pre sent Legislature according to the re port, to abolish the Western Somer set municipal court. This court, accord ing to the petitioners, is a duplicate of the trial justice courts throughout the county and is unnecessary, as they contend a big part of the busi ness coming under the jurisdiction of the municipal court is now taken to the trial justice court. This is especial ly true in Skowhegan, where the bulk of the work of this nature is consid ered. The claim is that when the west ern municipal court was established about six years ago there was a great er demand for a. separate court as I more liquor cases came up. But now the liquor law is less violated and therefore business decreased. The jurisdiction of this court comprises the towns of Skowhegan, Fairfield, Madison and Bingham. The civil term is once each month in the various towns. Criminal cases come at any time. Fach of these towns has trial justices and the jurisdiction as to power is the same in municipal court as in the trial justice court in crim inal cases. The salary paid the mun icipal court judge is $1400, where the trial justice court is under the fee system. Somerset Real Estate Transfers.
