Law Revision As i'.r philanthropic foundations, J Mr. Cntermyi r contended that, while! they were ably m.-uiaged and admin istered, the laws govi ruing them should be revised. He advocated Fed eral charters, a limitation ns to size, representation by Federai trustees when the present trustees begin to re tire. and a prohibition against the accumulation of income. Moth I'ntermyer and Babson, assail ed the ‘absentee control.” exercised ov. r many of the countries leading industries as being not only unfair to the workers, but usually contrary t• good business. Mr. I’ntermyer also asserted that in I.is opinion the Un it gathering of money in certain quarters had been I the direct cause of much poverty and i that near!-, all the railroads and other j corporations were under the complete cntrol ot the tanking interests, which had reorganized them after they had become insolvent. The situation had narrowed down in railroad inatters, lie asserted, until .>11 questions re garding labor conditions in connec tio with their operation could be de cided in one office. The concentration of power ‘and capital was grossly un fair to labor, he said. Remedies Proposed The w itness then proposed that there should >>o establish 1 Federal labor exchanges, similar to those that ex isted in Germany before the war: compulsory state-regulated insurance against unemployment, sickness and accident and the enactment of a la".' doing away with the voting of proxies upon stock and making it necessar-' for the stockholders themselves to vote eith -r in person or by mail. Mr. ifabson who said it was his opinion that labor was a commodity like copper and that wages were gov erned by the law- of supply and de mand. advocated the establishment of profit-sharing plans among the em ployes of large corporations or com panies. and said that he believed a latge percentage of the labor trouble ar.d social unrest was caused by the planets being governed, not bv per sons upon the ground, but by a boar! of directors sitting in an o.fice build ing in some other city, usually New York And these directors, he assert ed, were nearly always representatives of banking houses that had financed the corporations. In this connection he discussed the affairs of the Ameri ca Woolen Co. Capitalists, he said, have no grudge against labor. Th?y are simply indifferent to it. MASSACHUSETTS UNEMPLOYED PROBLEM AS FACED BY MAYOR CURLEY ANO GOVERNOR WALSH Employment for 250 Boston. .Ian. IS. —In order that the laborers may receive wises for a few more days of work. Mayor Curley to day diereted that wheel borrows in stead of teams be used in the con struction of a playground on Mount Ida. in the Ik>rchester district. About -5u unemployed men were given tem porary jobs on the playgrounds. A proposition to start the .manufac ture of rag carpets t% relieve the feminine employment question is un der consideration by the mayor. -y— Message for Relief Boston, Jan. 18.—A special message i rging relief for the unemployed trill be sent to the Legislature soon, unless that body takes action on the portion uf his inaugural address calling for appropriations of $150,000 for the pur pose. Gov. Walsh said today. This statement*was made by the governor to 50 settlement workers who called on him to discuss thte problem of pro viding work for the unemployed. BOSTON’S SUNDAY MOVIES MUST SATISFY NEW ENGLAND CONSCIENCE Boston, Jan. —"Only such pictures i as woulJ satisfy a New Kngland con- science,” may be sho« n in moving pic ture houses in this State on Sunday. Deputy Chief George C. Xeal of the j State police, who are the official cen sors, said today. The manager of a film exchange had complained that the story of Christ had been ruled out by the censors for Sun day exhibition because it represented a crucifixion in one of the scenes, "it was too cruel" the censors thought. Pictures of the life of Abraham Lincoln were barred, the manager said, because the ■censor thought that battle scenes were too strong for the Sabbath. These pictures were sanctioned for use during the week, but not for Sunday On that day. the State police have ruled that there shall be no films showing dancing, new or old; chime, rough play, cruelty to human be;ngs cr animals, or the use of fire arms.

TO REPLY England’s Answer to U. S. Concerning The Dacia London, Jan. lv—P. M.i.—'The Brit ish government probably will reply to morrow to the request of the United States government that the fon.-er Ham burg-American Line steamer Dacia, which yaw flies the American :’ag, be permitted to make one trip with cotton from the United States for Germany without the voyage being considered a precedent establishing the right of Ger man ship interned in the United States to be transferred to the American flag and then resume uninterrupted trade with Germany. The opinion Is general in othrial circles that Great Britain cannot make an ex ception in this instance. The Dacia case lias produi ed a marked impression in Kngland. It Is generally discuss d in the streets by men of all classes and the feeling voiced against the posit! n of the United States concerning the Dacia is much more bitter than that aroused by tlie American note concerning delays to shipping, as the defendant case of the Dacia is far better understood than the generalities of the note: There is increasing evidence that the examination of ships suspected of curry ing contraband is being more quickly carried out. Only lour ships arc now be ing held in the British isles for prize courts and only three others are at pres ent being detained for inspection. SUIUVAN OF“SE OF THROWIM TO"' THE JAI Testimony Concerning Minister to Dom New York. Jan. Is—James M. Sulli van. minister of the Dominican Re public whose conduct is under inves tigation was represented today as hav ing insisted in sharing the profits of a construction company organized to obtain public works contracts from the Dominican government. W. Lee Sisson, a construction en gineer who said he had been asked by the late Samuel L. Jarvis, con trolling the Banco Nacional of Santo Domingo, to become president of the construction company testified that F. J. R. Mitchell, president of the bank has said to him: "We'll have to take the minister in with us and I think it advisable to do so, as he can be of considerable service in the way of throwing con tracts to us." Sullivan Insisted The witness said he had objected to the proposition and that Mitchell had replied: "■Well the minister insists upon it" and he iStitchell) suggested "that he might give him five or ten per cent in terest in the company." Sisson said he refused and he returned to New York. The fact that Sisson was in San Domingo in behalf of the Banco Nacional became known to Secretary of State Bryan, it was brought out, and Mr. Bryan had repudiated, according to a letter put in evidence, a suggestion by Sullivan that Sisson would be a good man for the Dominican government to employ in Us put lie works contracts. Walker W. Vick, former receiver general of Domin ican customs and instigator of the in vestigation w ho*' asserts that Secretary Bryan "White washed" Sullivan,de scribed today negotiations which he said j Jed to Mr. Bryan’s receiving a call from j Samuel McRoberts, vice president of the i National City bank, which is said to i have been represented by the Banco Nacional interests as having sought to exploit the. island. Vick said that Me Roberts wanted to talk to hint about the Dominican situation and that he had i spoken of the matter to Boaz W. Long, head of the Latin-American department of the state department. Long refer red the matter to Secretary Bryan, who advised it would not look well for Vick to be seen going into the National City hank and suggested writing instead. AUSTRIAN LOSSES London, Jan. 18.—8.55 P. M. —The Exchange Telegraph’s Vi enna correspondent says that 110 Austrian casualty lists which do not include the losses of the last two months, give the following totals: Officers killed 226°.; officers wounded 8980; officers captured 628. Men killed 40,827; men wounded 231,160; men captured 9502. The last five Prussian casual ty lists, according to the corres pondent give the names of 36, 764 officers and men killed, wounded or missing, making the total’Prussian losses as disclos ed in 136 lists 877,107.

_ Conduct of American inican Republic “'Lons told me," said the witness, that he was un?;ious to have the secretary meet some of the big financiers and had persuaded him to let me invite McRoherts to come down to Washington.” The upshot was, Vick asserted, that witli Mr. Bryan's approval he invited Mc Roberts to Washington to "present him informally to the secretary of state.” “McRoberts and the secretary talked together about 43 minutes.” said the wit ness. Vick announced tie would put into evidence documents winch would show that J. J. Cray of Wilmington. Del., "an intimate friend of Bryan," had been ac tive in the state department in behalf of the Banco-Xaeional ifiterests. He Ce llared also that tie had been threatened in many ways for his activity i:i this ease. "One man told me he had promised a postmastership if lie would ‘get me.' Vick testified. He intimated that Joseph 1". lumuli: secretary to the President, had h.-en responsible for Secretary Bry an's attitude toward him. This had grown out of rivalry between them for Tumul t ty’s present post, he thought.

IS.—<4 55 A. M.),—The Rome corresitondent of the Matin, telegraphing details of the scenes in the earthquake* 1 district, says: “The rescue work continues with great difficulty. A man, stil! living, was taken out of the ruins at Avezzano .Sunday' morning. The railroad is now repaired and supplies are arriving regularly'. “Prince Scipione Borghese, who in an automobile was the first to reach the scene with blankets, food and bandages, has undertaken the task of cabling the names of survivors to their relatives in the United States. “The frequency of the shocks is di minishing. The seismograph has regis tered only 11 in the past 24 hours in the region of Avezzano and Sora and none in Rome. “The material damage, it is estimated, will exceed HOO.OQO.OUO lire <$60,tj0u,f<K». $10,000 Bequest for Westbrook Sem.

IS, 2.18 P. M.—Twenty one men of the crew of 27 of the Brit ish steamer Penarth, were drowned today off the Norfolk coast. The Pe narth, with a cargo of maize, was sailing for 'Hull from the river Plata. She struck Sheringham shoal in a heavy gale, and is a total wreck. The Penarth was a small vessel of 1939 tons net. ABANDON ADRIANOPLE London, Jan. 18.—7.17 P. M. —In a dispatch to Reuter’s Tel egram Co., from Athens, the statement is made that Adri anople, after Constantinople the most important city in European Turkey ,has been abandoned by the Turkish garrison. 1 AO.-A 11 v i Avezzano at last are beginning to show personal initiative and are read ily co-operating with the government representatives, the Red Cross work ers and the rescuing organizations. Several members of the Chamber of Deputies who have arrived in the dis trict arc working assiduously in or ganizing relief and directing rescue work and even are working side by side with the laborers. Among them is Deputy Ruini, who organized young peasants into several first-aid squads, and later removed his coat and work ed in the ruins until nightfall. Deputy Eissolati, the Socialist leader in the Chamber, ascended today with a party of men to the little village of Rendi nara, 1200 feet up the mountain side. The village, which had rested on a crag, like an eagle's nest, was found to have been entirely destroyed. The church had collapsed while ot was filled with worshippers. Work in Wreckage The deputy and his men, with the use of axes, picks and ropes, delved into the wreckage and rescued a num ber of persons buried. Those who were injured were given first-aid treatment and then taken on stretchers or on the backs of sturdy jnen, to a temporary hospital, which had ben hastily erect ed. Signor Comandini. instead of engaging in the search for the dead or injured, had peasants indicate the location of former grocery stores. Into the ruins over these he had a squad of men dig until the stocks of goods were uncovered. These he then distributed among the peo pl.e in spite cf objections Raised by some of the shopkeepers. The deputy then turned his hand to mason work and built an oven, in which he later baked bread for the populace. At Slagliano L)i llarsi the vice mayor of the town objected to his land being used as a camping place by the people. Deputy Vlgnoli, when he learned of this, rushed to the spot where the mayor was stanidng and violently upbraided him. He threatened that if the official persisted in his refusal to permit the people t occupy his land he would have the vice mayor placed in jail. The vice mayor, frigh'lned, gave his consent. Few of these who heard the threat of the deputy realized there w-as no prison standing within miles of the spot. Verify Casualties Each reported excavation serves to verify earlier reports of the probable casualties’, though here and there, de spite the fact that five days have elapsed since the catastrophe, living victims are being released from their prisons of crumbling plaster and fall en. timbers. Thousands of soldiers and civilians »n great numbers, including many members of the nobility gradually are systematizing the relief work and are getting food and clothing supplies ovr the obstructed roads to stricken towns and villages. The relief work, now, however, overshadoys the rescue ef forts. The Pope, according to the Osservatore Romano has sent aid to all the bishops of the dioceses in the earthquake zone. A fund of twenty million lire ($4,000,000) has been re ceived by the pontiff thus far. About 7500 refugees. 2000 of them injured, have reached Rome to date. The property loss probably involved is indicated by one estimate that it will exceed 300,000,000 lire ($60,000. 000). No official figures are as ye* available.

A FG* TO TUBERCULOSIS. The Journal of the American Medical Association, in its Issue of August 9. 1913. reviewing an article on "The Influence of Calcium Saits on Constitution and Health,” said: "They (the authors) report numbers of concrete instances in which patient3 gained in vitality and energy after tak ing calcium.” Doctors seem to agree that in tubercu losis and chronic throat and bronchial affections, lowered vitality and lost en ergy are conditions that must be over come. One of the constituents of Eckman’s Alterative is calcium (limei, so combined wlthother ingredients as to be easily as similated by the average person. To this, in part, is due Its widespread success in the treatment of these distressing and disastrous troubles. By preventing as well as arresting, the ravages of the tubercle bacilli, Eck raan's Alterative performs a service, whicu even some ethical practitioners have acknowledged to their patients. We do not make w holesale claims for It, but our knowledge of what it has done war rants the statement that IT CAN HEL1’. It contains no opiates, narcotics or habit-forming drugs, hence a trial is safe. Should your druggist be out'of it. you can order through him or direct from the makers.

DRESS WARM AND KEEP FEET DRY Tells Rheumatism Suf fers to Take Salts and Get Rid of Uric Acid Rheumatism is no respecter of age, Bex, color or rank. If not the most dangerous of human afflictions it is one of the most painful. Those sub ject to rheumatism should eat less meat. or. ss warmly as possible, avoid any undue exposure and, above all. drink lot3 of pure water. Rheumatism is caused by uric acid v.-hieh Is generated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine; the pores of the skin are aiso a means of freeing fhe blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed thus forcing the kidneys to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this uric acid which keeps accumulating and cir culating through the system, eventu ally settling in the joints and mus cles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism. At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a table spoonful in a glass of water and drink before breakfast each morning for a week. This is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus ridding the blood of these impurities. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithii and is used with excellent results thousands of folks who are subject lo rheumatsim.

It was understood Mr. Morgan inform ed the President that the increase in American exports to Europe recently uas greatly reduced the debts owed in Eu rope by Americans at the outbreak of the war and that as a result conditions were progressing favorably. Mr. Morgan explained that his firm has not arranged for a direct loan of money to Russia but that debts owing by Rus sia in this country for the purchase of supplies would be met through Morgan Co.

BELIEVE THE GERMANS HAVE TAKEN DEFENSIVE AGAINST RUSSIAN ARMY London, Jan. 18.—(1.12 P. M.).—London is recalling that this is the 44th anni versary of the proclamation of Wilhelm X as German Emperor, and in the British capiatl it is expected that the day may bring news of a widespread German ef fort to follow up with a still more im portant movement the success achieved last week in the neighborhood of Sois sens. In London it is believed that the Ger mans have adopted what is virtually a defensive role to the west of Warsaw— some British observers arguing that this I lias been forced upon them by superior j Russian numbers—and that these defen j tive tactics synchronize with the move i ment of many thousands of Teutonic troops from Poland to the French and i Belgian battlefields. The fighting at Soissons some British commentators de I clare to be the precursor of the entry of these new troops upon a vigorous of j fensive, perhaps an attempt to cross the river Aisne. At Soissons the French fan ed to hold their positions on the northern bank of the river and for the Germans to attempt to gain the southern bank is i regarded as a development to be expect ed. As to future engagements in this region. It appears to be a fact that the i French artillery on the hill* south ot th< Aisne commands all approaches to th< river and that it will have to h« reck oned with. In the eastern arena of the war thi steady Russian pressure which the ar rival of 1,OX\090 of last year levies hai enabled the forces of Emperor Nichola to exert upon the Germans, according t1 nett s dispatches reaching London, ha been slowly pushing back the Genual line to the west of Warsaw. News dis patches today report the Russian reoc cupation of F’lock. This report has r.o been conlirmed officially, but the Rus sians on Saturday tressed the Skrwa riv er a few miles below that point and ma: have been able to occupy the city. Rus sian forces already had reached Sierpe< and Gombin, lying respectively dlrectl: north and south of this provincial cap ital. The Russian defeat of the Turks, i the claims of I'etragrad are fully born out. was so decisive that it may marl the close of the Ottoman attempt to In vade Russia in the Caucasian region. Th Russian victory probably will free enougl i Caucasian army to oppose effectively th Turkish forces which are approachim the frontier further eastward, throug! Persia.

ROBERTS j f _ resident A. J. Roberts said in a lec- j ■*ure before the class In psychology. Monday morning at Colby College, that the real and true cause of the present %-ar in Europe was hatred, suspicion and fear. Going further into the mat ter from a psychological point of view he said that so long as nations contin ued to add to their navies and armies, ..so long would the other countries dis trust and fear them, and they too would try to strengthen their defensive and offensive powers. Furthermore that so long as nations armed them selves^they will want to use their de structive agencies, and in President Roberts’ mind the only way to ad monish warfare is to have a union or brotherhood in which one man will trust another man, and in which one nation will trust another.

Next Saturday, Jan. 23 from 2.30 Retrospect and Prospect The Story of a Successful Enterprise It is a human inclination to pause on the threshold of each recurring year in order to contemplate the past and make plans for the future. A certain self-satisfaction is derived from surveying the past; a great satisfaction in anticipating a successful future. Turn, then, for a moment to the story of the Journal. 1888 1889 1890 1891 1892 1893-1894 combined August 1887 1,125 1,675 2,862 2,117 3,480 2,677 3,271 3,271 3,157 .3,429 3,429 3,393 3,753 3,753 4,016 4,315 5,076 6,358 6,908 7,345 7,996 8,721 8,721 8,923 9,692 9,868 11,667 1895 1896 1897 1898 1899 1900 1901 1902 1903 1904 1905 1906 1907 1908 1909 1910 1911 1912 1913 1914 Twenty-Seven Years Of Accomplishment In August, 1887, the present publishers bought the Kennebec Journal. The daily circulation at that time was 1125 copies. Here began the story of accomplish* ments. The retiring management had con tented itself with printing a paper to fit the circulation of 1125 copies. The new manage ment immediately installed the element of growth by removing any limitation and boldly set a target which has since kept the aim higher and ever higher. The experiment immediately justified itself. Slowly the cir culation began to gain. Just run your finger down the column at your left. Nothing phenomenal, nothing mushroom-like, but a steady, upward climb of over a quarter century. Sometimes it seems to drop back; again it seems to stand still, but such periods have proved only breathing spells for greater accomplishments. In 1902 the rural routes came, and with characteristic energy the Journal set to ac quiring the new territory. As fast as Wash ington made a new route, the Journal went out and signed it up. The Inspiring Force But all the while the one central idea of “Merit” continued to be the inspiring force. Man after man has come to contribute to the growth, and each has caught the germ of enthusiasm which dominates the institu tion. Each has bent his energies toward newspaper building. “Win on merit” has been multiplied with a tremendous force for successful accomplishment until 4.00 the Methodist Sunday school will hold a sociable in the vestry.

As odors crushed are sweeter still. —Samuel Rogers. The States Rights Pretense. The Congressional committee cf thi National American Woman Suffrag Association has given out a statemen analyzing the House vote on womai surf rage last Tuesday with referenc to the states rights issue involved. The suffrage resolution, says th statement, like the Hobson resolutioi for national probibitation which wa. toted uponDecember 22, proposed ai amendment to the Federal Constitu tion, and the chief argument of th opposition in each case was that th' amendment violated state sovereignty The comm.ttee therefore watched wit: especial interest the course of tiros members of Congress, who, w ithi: three short weeks, were found facim both ways on the states rights cues troii. Of the 4 votes against the womai Eufirage resolution, T2 were cast b. members who had voted for the r.a xional prohibition amendment, of th: 12 members, 63 were Democrats. O these 63 Democrats, 5$ wore from th South—the very citadel cf states rights Some of these latter, speaking m favo cf the prohibition amendment, ha1 argued the states rights dcctrin practically out of existence. States rights is the most conven :em dodge corner known to the modem politician. When they are hard presse l>y public insistence upon honest an swers, they slip into the states right refuge and shuttle back and forth President Wilson first curtly dodge on the plea that he was “not author rie by his party platform'1 to expres bus eminent views cn equal suffrage Du: at last he was driven into th states rights dodge comer, and dice.' even dare come out in his Jacks o Day address. The same old dodge corner was use by many cf those without spine o the prohibition question, while other ‘argued the states rights doctrine on of existence" cn that question. Ec the funny part rf the exhibit: :n la in the fact that they turned areun afid dodged into the corner again o equal suftrage. The childish argument that it an outrage of the rights f st.f the national law making tody to cn erase its constitutsocal function affording to the states an opportune to determine whether >t not they wi amend the law. prov ke s the indigna uon of honest, thinking peoj.de. It a dodge, j ure and simp and v,vr:h only of cheap ward politicians. Th people of the various states arc ask-.n no more of Congress than a clearing c the way for them act in an orderl: legal way. And the right is denie them by pitiful sufctcrftrge, bteaus of the political power of great com mercial interests. The cry of rum "revenue no irr.ge suffices as an answer. delay i secured through "states right- pre tense, while "the interests'" pile u more millions and wreck anothe generation. But the day is com;:: when cowards in official life and the: guilty owners cannot withhold th people's will. National prohibition of the liquor and drugs traffic, and equal suffrae for intelligent citizens are comint just as sure as is God's wrath be-in felt by guilty nations. Whose Business Is It? The alaeritj with which the admin istration jumps to obey the- sugerestio that English interests ::i Mexico mui not suffer, is sharply c r.trasted wit the manner in which Great Britain re piles to the American protest again, her interference with cur legitimai and neutral business. But it is just as sharply contraste by the administration's position in en tirely ignoring the protests by Ameri can citizens that their property ha been stolen or destroyed and the: friends imprisoned or murdered. Th President who sharply tells Mexic that British interests ir. Mexico w-i: be protected by the Untei States, onl the other day said: It is none of you business; it is none of my business.” Millions for Education. The first comprehensive report c the work of the General Ecucatio Board, covering its activities since it organization twelve years ago. was is sued Monday.

That gifts, dnee made to an in stitution of learning, are absolutely alienated from any control whatsoever by the General Education Bo3rd. 5 The World Cries “Cease Firing!" The German-American Alliance ol Maine, held its largest convention Saturday and Sunday at Lisbon Flails. 1 Officers were elected and an interest ing program disposed of, but most

important of all were the resolutions adopted. This alliance which has grown to splendid proportions in the less than three years of its existence was organized in Lewiston in August, 1912. It is animated by the true spirit j of American fairness, justice an'1 peace. It secs nothing but folly in the war which is fast exhausting Europe, ar.d its strangest purpose today is t s bring every agency to bear that ma; t eventually end the sacrifice, i At the Lisbon Falls meeting reso lutions calling upon Congress to en i act a law to lay an embargo upon all a contraband of war, excepting food stuffs .1 ne, to enforce American r.eu t trality and thereby withdraw fro::: t tr.e contending Powers ail aid ar.d as sis:an f this republic which will I prolong destruction and siaughte: a among the friendly nations of Europe ere pted. After stating the tact? 8 in Several .’hereases, expression i a sire as fc 11 >ws: Therefore, be it Resolved, That we dean tlzens resit! in Maint. mass met ssemfcled, hereby dec lar i' it is perative duty the Con Priss "f t L'ni'.c i States t.t pass th --saiy fort..with that w:H enabli the Pres.de tf United Stau to la: re. rco c; ji a.l cor.:rav,ar. i of ins and excepii: g istuffs alone and thereby withdraw from the contend ins wers all id assistance of till e Republic And be it further Resolved. That w c. We believe ail true Americans, ->i whatever national origin will agree v.ith the German-American alliance The ghastly policy of commercialism to suck all the bleed money possible out of the war opportunity is unholp ar.d degrading. Our views are ex pressed by an able exchange, the Washington Post, which says, in part: The quick-moving events of jj: earlier stages served ir. some measu-e -to distract attention from the horrors ana misery that are the attendant anti consequent features, and which ar aestined to leave their visible effects for generations and centuries to come. But to this earlier aspect has suc ceeded one without the slightest al leviating element. The grim business goes on. with but one harvest, that of death in its ghastliest forms, gaping wounds, men made in the image of God transformed into things not good to look upon, the choking death-sob on either side testifying to the progress of mutual destruction, an en forced exit of a erc-ature at the hand i of his fellow creature out of a fair world over which, by inscrutable fiat. he was given dominion. Can it be that such a saturnalia of wickedness and blood]ust will ago m call forth the most solemn of aii the statements in Holy Writ, "And God reamed that He had made man?** That any country can look upon this carnival of organized '"murder with j other sentiments than those of un speakable regret, is not to be believed. That newspapers should continue to i publish headlines whose purpose is to j stimulate interest in the dreadful pro ceedings witnesses to a spirit removed l from aii richi rnirierstMnitiT,!- of the better instincts of mankind. Xo hon est paper can want to make money out of the war. The death of bravo men is no fit subject for the play f the •'headliner’s” fancy, nor can spirit ed descriptions from the front give to systematized massacre on an un imaginable scale a turn other than that which marks the vacufry of heart that babbles its nothingness in the presence of a world tragedy, i If it were left to the men in the I trenches, there would be no war. i There is no question of their braver?. They will not continue to fight on ac count of some policy," which, what ever its virtue, has long since ceased j to impress in the fact of the Moloch j demands for its enforcement, nor will they cease to fight through fear or I cowardice or any other worthy motive. God send the day when this night mare shall have been lifted from the hearts and minds of the nations, when the peace-loving shall again be placed in the seat of honor, when the right sympathies will find their true em ployment in succoring the needy and wiping away the tears from the eyes of those who still suffer, theuga through no fault of their own! Fiddeford Record is famous! Tep, the rum trust's "National Bulletin" is sending out, on a sheet with about j a dozen others, one of its marvelous studies of the booze question. At last the man who wanted to be i called Woody" for an appelation of respect and comradeship, has a title that beats ’em all to a frazzle—it's j "grampy."

Congratulations to the President! I And may the son of the White House be of statesmanship caliber and worthy of his start. 11r The state of Texas is offering $10,000 in cash prizes to tr.e farmers of that state for better cultural methods. It is a goc-d example to follow. Now that Old Vesuvius has grabbed a first page position away from the war. what will T. R. do to put ’em j both in the shade? Maybe if those Russians get thirsty enough they'll go over and capture the German breweries. Maine Gossip The Good Cld Bynens. iAtlanta Constitution.! There's lots of music in 'em—the hymns of long ago. And when some gray-haired brother sings the ones I used to know, i I sorter want to take a hand. I think of days jorne by. "On Jordan's stormy banks I stand and cast a wistful eye' There's lots of music in ’em—those dear, sweet hymns of o,d. With visions bright of lands of light, and shining streets o: gold: And 1 hear 'em ringing—singing, where mem'ry, dreaming, stands. "From Greenland's icy mountains to Ir.d'a's coral strands.'' They seem to sir.g forever of holier, sueeter days. When the lilies of the love of God bloomed white in al! the ways. Ar.d I want to hear their music from the oid-time meetin s rise Till ‘T can read my title clear to man sions in the skies. We never needed sir.cin' books in them old days—we knew The words, the tunes, of every one—the dear old hymn b ok through! We didn't have no trumpets then, no or gans built for sh v. We only sang to praise the Lord, ''from whom al! blessings flow." An' so 1 love the old hymns and when my time shall come— Before the light has left me. and my singing iips are dumi— If I can hear cm sing them then. I'll pass without a sigh To Canaan's fair and happy land where my possessions lie.

Deputy Sheriff W. Bates of More, who has been engaged in the search I for the missing Aroostook deputy Hillman, says regarding the case: “All we lack is the body. We know for aimost a fact that a brutal mur der has been perpetrated, but we must find the body to prove our case. I have not a dofcbt but what the bodv wiil be found before very leng. Everything is being done to this end. There are more than one mixed up:n the case and every day brings out some bit of new evidence.

"fanight! Clean your bowels and stop headache, colds, sour stomach Get a 10-cent box. Take a Cascaret tonight to cleanse your Liver, Stomach and Bowels, and you will surely feel great by morn ing. -You men and women who have headache, coated tongue, a bad cold, are bilious, nervous, upset, bothered with a sick, gassy, disordered stom ach, or have backache and feel all w orn out. Are you keeping your bowels clean with Cascarets—or mere ly forcing a passageway every few days with salts, cathartic pills or cas tor oil? Cascarets immediately cleanse and regulate the stomach, remove thn sour, undigested and fermenting food and foul gases; take the excess bile from the liver and carry off the con stipated waste matter and poison from the bowels. Remember, a Cascaret tonight will straighten you out by morning. A 10-cent box from your druggist means healthy bowel action; a clear head and cheerfulness for months. Don’t forget the children.—Adv.

To Keep Skin Healthy, Youthful, Wrinkleless Now that the social season is here, be especially careful to keep your skin in t rie condition. You know how conspicu ous complexion defects appear under the bright light of the drawing or ball room. Also how very evident are some makeups when similarly illuminated. I have my self discarded cosmetics entirely, using a process which gives far better results, and which leaves no trace on the skin. At rfight I smear on a thin coat of ordi nary mercolized wax. washing it off next morning. This gradually absorbs the de vitalized particles of surface skin; just as gradually the more youthful skin be neath comes forth, providing a complex ion as clear, smooth and delicately tint ed as a young girl’s. Get an ounce of mercolized wax at your druggist's and try this remarkable treatment. Remember, too. that wrinkles, even the finer lines, are rot easily concealed In a brilliantly lighted room. You can quick ly obliterate these hateful marks by bathing your face in a solution of pow dered saxolite, 1 oz.. dissolved in witch bezel, i pt.

Printing doesn’t come in bulk* Booklets are not bought in assorted sizes as you buy collars. Printing is now sold with and as a service. Every piece of printed matter is made to fit a particular occasion —to appeal to a special class of readers, to express the personality of an individual ad vertiser. First, we offer good printing—as good as can be done. To that we add suggestions, ideas, layouts of our own to make the print ing effective—whether it is a label or an ad vertisement. We are glad to give you an estimate of what a job will cost, but an estimate upon a job of printing is valuable only when each printer is estimating on the same job. That seldom happens. Paper costs 3 cents to 25 cents a pound. Ink costs 25 cents to $5 a pound. Taste, originality, knowledge—these are almost priceless. If you are a good judge of all these things—then you can decide between esti mates. Competitive printing, however, never secures such good results as reposing confidence in a printer of proved worth. The next time your attention is arrested by a printed thing well done, stop and ask yourself: Can such work be done by the printer who figures lowest? No. Cheap printing conveys the idea that you are a cheap man, doing a cheap business at cheap prices. It seems unfortunate that people do not understand that the most interesting state i ment that can be put in type has no appeal unless the vital words are properly mar shalled by an intimate knowledge of paper, ink, and type faces plus—and here is the big secret—the knowledge of the particular re quirement in hand and the ability to handle it. Your printer should become the master workman who moulds the many elements into one harmonious whole. Naturally we are subject to the wishes of our customers. If you desire to attend tc the various parts which go to make the completed job—if you feel competent to be come the master mind, we will become me chanics and produce for you the printed work which will be your conception of what you want. But if you leave it to us we will adapt your ideas and embody your needs into the harmonious expression which you seek. If it is results or effectiveness that you are after we can help you. That subtle dignity, fitness of purpose, and general impressive ness become an intangible part of our work. To summarize. Don’t haggle on cost; haggle for effectiveness. Don’t waste your time dickering. Come to headquarters. Come where they have the equipment, the men, the ability, the reliability, and the cre ative service. We shall be pleased to prove our claims of our ability to serve you intelligently and well. KENNEBEC JOURNAL PRESS, Augusta, Me.

Chicago, Jan. 18.—Additional affidav its were filed today in the United States district court by various offi cials of organized baseball support ing their contentions that the Feder al League was not entitled to the re lief ashed in its suit for the dissolu tion of the National Commission, and its affiliated clubs as violators of the Federal anti-trust act. In one of the affidavits. Roger P. Bresnahan, now manager of the Chi cago Nationals, denied that while manager of the Si. Louis Nationals he traded Booth Hopper, a pitcher, for a bird dog. Bresnahan. with much detail, told of meeting Hopper in Tennessee while on a hunting trip and of trying out the pitcher on a training trip ad of seeing there a bird dog which he ad mired. The dog belonged to Hopper, the affidavit declared, and was of fered by the owner to Bresnahan. The Bresnahan affidavit then contin ues: "I told him that 1 could not*use the dog as 1 tlien had five of mv own. Just before the opening of the regular season. Mr. Kinselia, then manager and owner of the Springfield. 111., baseball club, came to St. Louis In search of a pitcher. I told him we had a young man of the name of Hopper whom wc were going to let go and if he wanted to talk with him and sign Chicago, Jan. IS—Twenty-one per rons, six of whom are women arrested yesterday in the streets in front of liul! House, a social settlement, were to appear in court today to answer charges of inciting a riot. Mrs. Lucy 1'arson.-, widow of the anarchist hanged for murder after the Haymarket riots several years ago, was among those arrested. She did not spend the night in jail, how ecer, as social workers obtained her release on bail. Seven others also were released en bail. Irwin Tucker who said he was a preacher and an editor of a paper, was among the thirteen compelled to spend the night in a police station. The riot was the result of an at tempt of about 1500 unemployed men and women to parade. Some of the marchers carried black banners on which in large white letters was the word Hunger.” On other banners .were: "We don"t want charity! We 'ant jobs!” and “Give us this day cur daily bread.” Police demanded that the marchers halt as no permit had been issued for them to parade. The marchers, ac cording- to the police, began to push the banner bearers forward. Fight ing started instantly. Police with re volvers and clubs drawn rushed the crowd, foiling all within their reach. Women marchers grabbed the police 1 men by the legs and threw them ~tc the street, biting and scrateiyng at their faces with linger nails. A num ber of shots were fired by the police in their attempt to drive back the crowd. Reserves had to be called out be fore the police could take their pris I oners to the station. FINAL PREPARATIONS OF COUNSEL FOR OPENING OF BASEBALL CASE ON WEDNESDAY BEFORE COURT Chicago, Jan. 18—With only two days remaining in which to prepare their arguments, counsel for the cu eral League and organized baseba 1 were in conference today putting the final touches on the case which wii cpen before Judge Landis in the Unit ed States district court on Wedne day. August Herrmann, chairman of the National Baseball Commission, it is expected, will be the most important witness for the .defence. With him will#be Ban B. Johnson, president of the American League and John K. Tener, president of the National League, the remaining two members of the National Commission. For the Federal league which seeks to prevent organized baseball from in terfering with its players or opera tions, James A. Gilmore, president of the organization, is expected to be th§ chief witness. B. B. Ward- of the him for the Springfield club he could do so. Kinsella told me if Hopper de veloped and showed any ability at all, he would give the St. Louis National League club the first opportunity to purchase his release in the fall. "During the conversation Kinsella had with Hopper at our clubhouse in St. Louis, Hopper again asked me to buy his dog, as he needed money. :dr. Kinsella asked me if I wanted the dog. j told him I did, but as I then had live, I would not buy it. Sir. Ki-n sella said he wanted to do something for me and if 1 would accept the dog he would buy it. I do net know what transaction Kinsella had with Hop per. but I do know that Hopper sent for his dog and Kinsella brought it to me at St. Louis. "The statement that I traded Hop per for a bird dog is an absolute falsehood and 1 would suggpst that Mr. Hopper he communicated with as he can verify my statements, as can Kinsella.” Herman D. Seekamp, manager and treasurer of the American Baseball and Athletic Kxhibition Co., of st. Louis, operating the St. Louis Na tionals, deposed that he had no knowl edge of the alleged bird dog incident and that his records showed that the services of Hopper were purchased in August. 10n. by the St. Louis Nation als for $2000.

JOLY’S REPORT (Continued From Page One) itock sanitary commissioners. “Judging by the large amount of cat :le tested every year it cannot be ques-; tloned but that farmers believe in the I tuberculin test. During the past year ■ertiflcates of tuberculin tests have been ssued to the owners of 1822 herds. With jur present policy we cannot only keep i wine tuberculosis under control, but we :an reduce it to a very small per cent-! ige. While we are fighting the plague in racing infested premises, we believe also n educating the people by public demon stration. In September at the Central' Maine fair held at Waterville six tuber-1 culous cattle were exhibited under a tent. These cattle had re-acted to the j tuberculin test. During the first two days jf the fair lecturers were in attendance to explain the tuberculin test to all vis itors and on the third day a public post mortem was made by a United States •neat inspector in the presence of a large lumber of people. Physicians and veteri narians were especially invited to wit ness the operations. In each case tu berculous lesions were found and this igain demonstrates the reliability of the tuberculin test. “The tuberculin test will diagnose tu berculosis 98 per cent, correctly when physical examination will fall 95 per cent. Calves fed on tuberculosis ^niiik will contract the disease and farmers should not feed skimmed milk, brought from the creamery, unless It has been sterilized Glanders “Glanders is under control and will not ncrea.se as long as we require an insp'C tion of imported horses at place of des tination. Four horses were condemned is glandered, causing the owner a total loss, with the exception of one caae where the seller reimbursed the buyer. Hog Cholera “During the last 12 months we have had 23 small outbreaks of hog cholera, affecting about 1200 swine. We followed the policy outlined in 1913 by using the inti-hog cholera serum, furnished by the State. We feel that we have had good results, but better results could have been obtained If, in many cases, the vet erinarian had been notified sooner. Foot and Mouth Disease “The present outbreak of the foot and mouth disease was first recognized in Michigan and the contagion spread rap idly through the Chicago and Buffalo stock yards. The disease reached the Brighton stock yards and was diagnosed on Nov. 6. Maine, which maintains a quarantine at all times, in accordance with her sanitary laws, simply had to refuse the entrance of live stock. Conse quently since Nov. 6, 1915. a strict quaran tine has been observed. No cattle, sheep, swine or other ruminants have been al lowed to enter our State. "Farmers are urged both for their own protection and as a duty to their neighbors to report immediately all cases of suspicious sore mouths >t lameness among their stock to Dr. A. Jolv, Live, Stock Sanitary Commis sioner. Waterville, Maine. Investiga tions will be made at the expense of the state. But few vegetarians in Maine had even seen a case of foot and mouth disease and if the invasion had ever reached this state, it would have been a great handicap in the work of suppressing the epidemic. "The live stock commissioner admit ting these facts went with a party of veterinarians to Massachusetts to study the disease. Through the court esy of the Bureau of Animal Indus try at Washington, we, accompanied by Dr. H. E. Brown, a federal inspecto-, had the privilege of examining a herd of 28 cases in all stages, at Medford, Mass. After our visit Dr. Brown im mediately demonstrated, after going out of the barn, how to proceed to disinfect our clothing. We returned home, well equipped to fight the -»s ease, so far as we have been free from j it. Our Milk Supply "No. person wants to buy or drink milk produced by a tuberculosis cov, and no owner of a herd of cattle has a right to claim that his cows are fret' from tuberculosis, unless he has them tested. Cities and towns depend upon their boards of health for action; It is tip to them; they ha’/e not only I the power, but it is their duty to se? 1 that the milk supply comes from non- I infected sources. Importation of Horses “We have been able to keep an ex act account of the number of horses brought into the state during the past year which amounted to 7,531, at an estimated value of $1,500,000. These horses have been examined at the place of destination and four were condemned as glandered. Importation of Cattle "During the past year we have re ceived 191 herd of pure bred cattle, from different parts of the United States. Regardless of any previous lest these animals were tested at place if destination and nine head re-acted ind were condemned as tuberculosis. For immediate slaughter we imported 5,051 head of cattle. Importation of Swine and Sheep "In accordance with reports received >03 pigs were brought into the state ’or breeding purposes, and 17.940 were slaughtered. Nine pure bred sheep were imported for breeding‘-purposes ind 2.174 for slaughter. Exportation of Cattle During the past year Maine shipped >.060 milch cows to the Brighton mar ket. Upon their arrival they were tested with tuberculin and ohly 121 lead were condemned as tuberculosis, i percentage of two and two flfts. rhese figures are very gratifying and >pe cap form an opinion of the per sentage of bovine tuberculosis among >ur dairies when we must consider hat those 5.060 milch cowb were wrought from as many different and scattered herds all over the state. 3y substracting the amount qf 5,060 nilch cows from the whole numbe* ihipped to Massachusetts, it will leave l balance of 9,217 head of cattle that were exported for beef.” Many varieties of Australian wood ire of such singular beauty and are so idmlrably fitted for cabinet making hat they are in great demand for that lurpope. SAD NEWS ON LETTERS RETURN ED FROM FRONT (Associated Press Correspondence.) Berlin, Dec. 26.—The German post- office is to spare the feelings, so far as possible, of the families of solders who have fallen in battle, when mail matter, i non-deliverable for that reason, is re- turned to the sender. Hitherto it was the custom to stamp on the letter or package merely the word fallen," or “dead,” and send it back home to shock the relatives with this harsh brevity. Now the military authorities have been directed to use the words "Fallen for tj?e Fatherland." or "Fallen on the field of honor." In still another way the authorities are trying to soften the blow of death notices from the front. Hitherto this was attempted only in country dis- 1 triets, where the returned mail of tjie fallen soldiers was handed over to the local authorities or the clergyman, who i then undertook to break the fatal news gently to the family. Something like this is now to be done also In the towns and cities. The local authorities will now be asked to select some person suitable for bearing the message ot death. MOVIES SHOW WOMAN’S HUSBAND IN TRENCHES1 (Associated Press Correspondence.) Liverpool, Dec. 26.—During a moving picture show here a Belgian woman refugee recognized her husband in a film depicting scenes in the Belgian trenches. The husband appeared in the picture to be in the best of health and spirits. As they had been separated early in the war. and the address of each was unknown to the other, the woman tried frantically to obtain in formation from the theatre, and even wrote to the film agent. But the name of the place where the husband was seen had been deleted by the censor. I he film company, however, promised to try and trace the matter through the camera operator.

JUig THIS LITTLE AD BROUGHT 150 CUSTOMERS AND $50.00 IN BUSINESS AT A COST OF $1.40

Here is a convincing argument for the people who think they can’t advertise unless they use a large space. In the Journal the small ad gains its prominence by clas sification. By classifying the little ads they automatically slip into place, just as your name does in the telephone di rectory. And people become accustomed to look for them because they find so many valuable suggestions. The cheer ing thing about it all is that the “Local Notice” or the Clas sified Ad costs so little that anyone can afford to pay for it —or for a “cluster” of them if more than one should be need ed. Make a personal application of this instance to your own business needs. THERE’S A CLASSIFICATION FOR EVERY WANT AD. KENNEBEC JOURNAL CO. local, notice.

MARKET REPORTS NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. Features of tha Day's Dealing* in All the Leading Stocks. New York. Jan. 18.—Stocks moved for ward again today under lead of the va rious special issues. including fertilizer and motor shares, the coppers and half a score of miscellaneous securities, such as Lorillard Tobacco, National Biscuit, Distillers and Pullman. Railroad stocks and the active list in general were neg lected until the later dealings. In the final hour many railway shares joined in the rise to a moderate degree, until all round advances of 1 to 3 points were the rule. Gould stocks were prominent, Mis souri Pacific-bettering its position of last week. There was an unusually brisk de mand for the issue of southern roads.

Humane society has discovered that prisoners need work; their physical and moral life demand it. This being a fact it is also true that the prison labor should be applied to the most healthy and profitable business possi- j is it not possible under present conditions as they now exist at Thom- j aston? Everyone who has investigat- j ca the question says NO. No man or woman can visit the pri- j son and say that they are proud as citizens of Maine on account of the hu- j mane and sanitary conditions of the prison, or of the chances for reform, j either morally, mentally, bodily or financially. No one, ever so capable, can make it profitable or sanitary. I make this statement without fear of any contradiction from any fair mind ed person who has ever thought on the subject with an opep mind. If the j prison remains where it is and is re modelled two cells will chave to be j made into one. This will reduce the i number of cells nearly one-half, as j there are but twelve cells that are! more than four feet wide. At least j seventy-five new cells will have to be built. The cells are three tiers high now and another tier, making four tiers Inch, would result in r .lis’in? the j upper tier, while the men in the lower ceils would he cold. There is no hospital for tubercular patients. A few cells are set off on the lower corridor for thqm. and. they as- j sociate with the other prisoners. Are the people of Maine willing to stand j for this'.’ Not if they know it and the> are fast finding it out. I was surprised when 1 was told at the prison that the j tubercular ward was a few crt,’’.y rt :>o i sible. if not legally so. especially to prisoners serving time less than life Are good air. light and sanitary t >n- ditions necessary to the'average length of life? If so does the State f M itie have the moral right or the lee 1 right to confine a life prisoner where tie rays of the sun never penetrate as is now the case in many cells T1 short term prisoner is especially to good environments so as to era.hr him mentally and physically, at least to start life anew after iie leaves prison. I am sometimes asked b\ people who are naturally in favor of capital pun ishment, if prisoners do not live long enough now in Thomastor* My reply is that it would be Iona enough for me. if sentenced for life, as life there now under present conditions is continuoti living death. Life prisoners confii: d in such a place being ip normal con- dition. ought to be parolled at the end of 20 years, especially, where men are sentenced 15 years for man slaughter and are parolled in 12 1-2 years Tt is better to have a review on sont of the old cases. In the spring of 1913 the full board of prison Inspectors recommended to the warden, Frank J. Ham. that the pris oners should be allowed ej-ery Satur day afternoon to play has ball, or any other civil game. The warden complied with the request and afterwards said that the men did more work in five days and a half than they formerly did in six; and also did away with the use of the dungeon almost entirely. If a man disobeyed the rules he lost his yard privilege and was confined in his cell, which he dreaded, as he lost his liberty of the yard. With the consent of the full board of prison inspectors, early in the spring of 1 HI4 I asked the Governor and Coun cil that three extra guards be hired, which were needed in order to give the prisoners the liberty of the yard Sun day afternoons and holidays, and to pay for them from the contingent fund, and further that an opportunity should be given to the prisoners to empty their old slop pails which they are obliged to use for the lack of flush basins in the cells. There is no ventila tion in the dens called cells. The Gov ernor and Council complied with the request and three extra guards were hired for six months. The good results of this are known all over the State. The Legislature of 1915 ought to in crease the appropriation for guards so as to hire enough lor three reliefs, eight hours each; then the prisoners could have the liberty of the yard Sun days and holidays all the year round, as is sadly needed. 1 hope that the legislative committee that goes to the prison this winter will examine closely and learn the conditions for them selves. The parole lav.- passed by the last Legislature is a great success, and it has not only been of great benefit to those parolled, out it has been eco nomical for the State. The people of Maine ought to congratulate them selves and thank the prime movers for passing a bill that has parolled seventy prisoners in the last IS months. Only tLr* e broke their parole and these were returned. The Governor's Council on paroles in examining the prisoners for parole do not allow any shyster lawyer, or any other lawyer, to tell or advise them what to do at the expense of the pris oner or of his friends.

What is a water power worth to the State if we never use it nor lease it to First of all knock out the hindrance to health, then vigor of body and mind naturally follows. Thousands, finding coffee a hindrance, have struck it fro m their daily diet and now use POSTUM Coffee contains a powerful irritant—caffeine—whiqh first races the body functions to unnatural speed, and then leaves them in a state of exhaustio n. Result—weak heart, nerv ousness, biliousness, headache, sleeplessness and many other ills ‘and discomforts. Postum—made only of prime wheat and a bit of wholesome molasses—is a pure food drink, absolutely free from caffeine or any other drug or harmful substance. Postum has delightful flavour, and comes in two forms: Regular Postum—must be boiled, 15c and 25c packages; Instant Postum—soluble, made in the cup instantly, 30c and 50c tins. The cost per cup is about the same for both kinds. Suppose you leave off coff ee ten days and try Postum—and better health. I I “THERE’S A REASON”

Grocers everywhere sell POSTUM. anybody for the transmission of power, and why should a private individual or corporation have the use of it for nothing because they own the dam right? If the State owns the water why should not the people of the whole State own at least a part of the power if they need it for public purposes for light, heat and power for ail time in stead of using coal as is now done in all of our state institutions. Unskilled short term prisoners from the first of May to-November supplied with plenty of good farming land can earn more farming than prison labor proper; also where this same class can be used on the public highway where we now pay ?2 or more per day, the men in the prison work are only called worth 50c a day. From my point of view a change in the present system is needed. Young men com mitted for short terms should be given 1 a little education If they have none when committed so that they may not be turned out as igporant as they were when incarcerated. The difference in cost of water power and coal and the difference between prison labor now. farm laoor and labor on the highway as paid by farmers and highway commissioners would mean something to both. The prisoner now receives at the rate of 25c a month and at the end of his term he goes out oftener than otherwise with $5, a cheap suit of clothes and sometimes with no overcoat in the winter. Our humane people in Maine have mS families. In addition to this and in accordance with arrangement with the Metropolitan Insurance Co., 610 visits to 106 families have been made during the year, making a total of 1228 visits to 304 families. Some member of the Hospital Aid So ciety has visited the patients at the hos pital each week, thereby attesting to their interest in the hospital and its pa tients We are unable to report progress in mater of laundry, which is badly needed, but hope this may be made possible for the good of the institution. The need of a new wing is demonstrat ing itself often, and we trust that the building of such may be accomplished. This year we have received toward a new wing from the undergraduate nurses from the sale of pin balls, $110, and from Trinity Commandery, $15.67. Also a very generous gift of tlduO from one who'has been Interested In the hospital since Its inceptiojj. and who has given generously Howard its support several times before From Father Nelllgan. $10; a friend, $5: Augusta China Decorators’ Club, $50, which, together with the balance on hand, $26.06, makes a total of $1,226.72. We would respectfully invite others to contribute toward this fund, and thereby assist in the greater usefulness of the hospital. We wish to attest to the devotion to the patients and the institution, of the su perintendent and her attendants, and to the conscientious attendance and skilful treatment by the staff of phyhicians and surgeons.

Tom Kane fixed his honest old eyes on the girl and s£ook his head- “1 don’t want to discourage you. Ituthie." he said quietly, "but until that man Wilkerson is out of the mine for good you can't do more than patch matters up temporarily.’’ Meanwhile Wilkerson and Jean Dar nell were anxiously awaiting new* from Henry Pell. It was getting along In the forenoon, and the woman in sisted that if he had succeeded in get ting the papers he should have been on the ground long before. Her eotupan 1 r “1 don’t want, to discourage you, Ruthie.” ion was worried, but laid the delay to Pell's habits and the necessity possibly of avoiding the police. But when Drake arrived with the morning papers and said nothing artic ulate and omy pointed to the headlines on the first page both Wiikerson and Mrs. Darnell knew that something had happened again to spoil their plans. It was Wilkersun who snatched up the paper and read the news: HOTEL THIEf HURLED TO DEATH. Guests of the Mans Hotel Have Pierce Strugglt With Hotel Robber. Shortly before midnight last night Miss Ruth Gallon, a guest at the Hotel Manx, entered her room to find a masked man looting her desk. Her cry for help fright ened the thic-f, and he made for the fire escape, followed by Mr. John Dorr, another guest, who heard Miss Gallon's call Mr. Dorr pursued the man to the roof, and in the ensuing struggle the des perado was either Sung or fell to the street beicV.- He was instantly killed. Shortly afterward the body was identi fied by the police as that of Samuel Price, alias Henry Pell, an ex-convict and drug fiend. Wllkerson read no further.

"Dorr is to be held for killing him.” “For how long?" sneered Jean. “Un til his friends get him out. And mean while you do nothing!" She continued in this strain for some time. Drake and Wilkerson moodily listening. They knew that if she once threw the affair up they would be help less and all their time and work and money would have gone for naught Wilkerson was thinking quickly. Sud denly he interrupted Jean to ask for pen and ink. She got them, and be eat down at the table to write. Drake and Mrs. Darnell kept up a desultory con versation until he had finished. There was a queer look In Jean’s eyes as she took the sheet he handed her and glanced at the writing. “I see you still can do It.” she murmured.' “Read It!” he growled. Mrs Darnell read it through silently and then aloud: Dear Ruth—1 hate to ask you to come down and Bee me In the jail, but 1 have something very important to tell you. Bring the papers too.

On leaving for home he expressed the belief that he might encounter some water in the roadway in some places, although nothing but what he could make his way through, all right. Mrs. Phoebe Howes, who is em ployed at. the home of Mr. and Mrs F. M. Hayes, 105 Grove street, had the misfortune Monday morning to fall down a (light of stairs and land in such a way as to sustain fracture of the right arm a third of the way above the elbow. She was removed the fracture was reduced and she was to the Augusta General hospital where and she was reported last evening to be as comfortable as could be expected under the circumstances. The residence of E. F. Weston at 15 Spring street was the scene for a few minutes Sunday evening of an excit ing incident which threatened serious consequences but which were however, averted by the prompt action of mem bers of the household. One of the la dies of the house scratched a match to light a lamp and as she did so a por tion of the head of the match flew and alighted among some side combs and back combs which were lying in a chair nearby, and the combs being of celluloid ignited and started a blaze of the liveliest kind. The lady of the house quickly grabbed a rug or two and by prompt work soon had the flames subdued but not before the seat of the chair was ruined and the rugs were more or less scorched. Looks as if the January thaw was on in good earnest. Many people thought the mild spell and rain of about a week ago was the thaw, but the weather Which has developed since the snowstorm of Sunday has every indication of being the real thing in the thaw line. Sunday’s snowstorm turned to rain in the evening and continued well Into the night, being followed Monday morning by fog. Just before noon it began to rain once more and continued during the afternoon and evening, the rain coming down at times heavily. Reports from up river stated that late in the afternoon it was raining heavily at The Forks. It is probable that there will be some little rise in the Kennebec river, but nothing of any amount, more than enough to keep the mills running, as the water at the pres en ttime Is very low.

PORTLAND WATER DIST; AFTER PERMIS SION ISSUE BONDS Attorney Moulton of Portland, counsellor for t£ie Portland Water District, has been in Augusta recently for a conference with the Public Utilities Commission in regard to the proposed $200,000 bond issue for the Water District. One half the amount to be raised, or approximately one half, is to be used to retire notes coming due; the other half is for extensions. Attorney Moulton, when asked why a municipal water district was requir ed to receive the permission of the Commission before issuing bonds, ex plained that the law so provides and that though on first thought it would seem illogical to make such a re quirement, yet certain favorable re sults might come of the appearance before the commission, and especially to the advantage of people living in communities where the water supply is controlled by private ownwship. He remarked that by keeping in touch with the finances of utilities controlled by municipalities, the man agement of which is bound to be in the best interests of the residents of the communities in which they' oper ate, the Public Utilities Commission would doubtless gather much informa tion which would be of great value in decisions in matters touching upon the business of privately owned ser vice.

After a short recess Emery Beane, the attorney for the defendant, then summed up the case of the defendant, which was in brief that it was admit ted that -Mrs. Raught had suffered some injury but it was claimed that Mr. Kean, the defendant, was not re sponsible for the injury. B. F. Maher then summed the cas“ for the plaintiff, claiming that Madi son Bean was lilable because he laid hands on the woman and threw her to the ground, even if he bad not in tended to hurt her.

Raught then testified and her testimony was in accord with the story as told by Mr. Raught. Emery O. Beane, the attorney for the defendant, outlined the defense, stating that there are times when a person has a right to strike as. for Instance, a son has a right to defend his father. Six witnesses were sworn in for the defendant. Harold Bean of Sidney, the defend ant, testified as to the trouble that oc curred on Oct. 16 and stated that after Mr. Raught had kicked his father, he hit Mr. Raught in the face.

"NATURE” STORIES AS FOUND ON THE LOWER KENNEBEC The following storic-s are culled from the daily increasing choice col lection of. the Rath Times' unnatural ist. Tloase take especial notice of the I gull. More than 2000 sheldrake are catcli j ing the smelts in the open water from Thorne's Head to Lines island, in the Kennebec below Bath, in large num bc-rs. The voracious birds swim under water and catching the. fish always head first rise to the surface with fish's tail sticking out and then they swallow them, providing gulls do not come along and swooping down rob I the sheldrake of their catch- The foxy I gulls are always on these raids. The j iVnelt fishermen complain that the sheldrake are robbing them of the smelts, as so many of these divers catch edbrmous numbers of the fish. It is against the law to kill the birds, which it is alleged, not only catch smelts, but do havoc with trout ponds, catching trout in the spring and early fall. After the sheldrake eat their fill of smelts they come out on the ice, where windrows of them may be seer, any day from Thorne's Head. William O. Hunt of Bath returned Tuesday from 3Mr-months work at the Charles Wright place in North Woolwich. He reports seeing, three weeks ago. a large deer near the Wright place and in the woods he has several tim^s run across and put up fiocks of partridges, three to seven in a bunch, as he has been walking throi gh the forest. He says that the woods of North Woolwich are full of “biddies,” some of them as large as a hen. Other lumbermen also report large flocks of these game birds in ad jacent covers, so that they were not diminished very much during the hunting season lately ended. All men tion the unusual size of the partridges this year, They are now budding on the trees and of course, it now being close time, may not be shot.

CIRCUMLOCUTION IS NO LONGER NEEDED True American Directness and Brevity At Last Applied to English Composition. In days of long ago, if the red man wanted to ask a neighbor for the loan of a few potatoes and an onion for the dop soup he was pre paring, he was likely to commence with a few desultory remarks about the stars in Heaven, his mistaken idea about the moon, throw in a few par agraphs about the happy hunting grounds of tne future and the fine weather of the present, and then slide in the modest request for a donation, so that if the neighbor was not follow ing the line of conversation closing 1 the potatoes and onion would be en tirely obscured in the verbiage. 1 No matter what he had to say, the 1 Indian "beat around the bush” in making talk, and that Is possibly the one reason why he never got anywhere and «as badly trampled on in the march of progress, because it took him so long a time to let any one know that he was being hurt. 1 Now, the people who helped push “Poor Lo” off the earth, as it were.” were more forceful in their utterances and their descendants are even more so. The modern “American” has no time to circuihlocute and wants to speak with brevity and to listen to those only who are brief, but does not want one word of importance sacrificed. 1 To fill this need, Everybody’s Cy- t clopedia was designed, and that is i why it is now in great demand in i Augusta.

A cordial welcome awaits the ap pearance of Neil O'Brien and his "Great American Minstrels” at the Opera House tonight when this most entertaining of all minstrel comedians comes to this city on his third annual visit. Those who greeted Mr. O'Brien on his previous appearances as a new star at the head of a new organiza tion, still remember with delight the splendid entertainment he offered—a minstrel performance so full of genu ine good things that it was talked about for months after as one of the most thoroughly enjoyable perform ances of the theatrical year. Mr. O’Brien, in association with his man ager Oscar F. Hodge, started his ca reer as a minstrel star two seasons ago with the avowed purpose of es tablishing a following of minstrel lovers, and each year to present their patrons with a sho^v entirely new in every detail. He has started on his third annual pilgrimage with this idea faithfully carried out, for his enter tainment this season presents nothing "carried over" from last year. The beautiful, picturesque and spectacular scenic settings are new and fresh from the scene painter's frame. The costumes, of the most expensive ma terials. are all new, the electric effects are all original, while new songs, new jokes, new voices and new dances are everywhere in evidence. Seats 50c., 75c., $1.00 and $1.50—Ad>\ THE 24th CHIZZLE WIZZLE FAIri. A Short Sketch of the Event Written by a Student of Cony High School. The year has rolled around again and it finds the students of Cony High preparing for their 24th annual fair. This fair has for a long time been looked forward to by students and citizens of Augusta as one of the big events of the year. The reputation ot Cony's minstrel show has always been a big drawing card. This year the minstrels have been picked from the best singers in the school and they cannot fail to "deliver the good.” The end men, all veterans in the. line, will be there “with bells on.” The songs are new and snappy; the jokes and slams will surely "get” the audience. After the minstrels a sextet of High school girls will present a short sketch. These girls have been prac ticing hard under the direction of Mrs. Rosanna Ordiorne. This fact alone will make It worth seeing. Friday afternoon picked teams from each class will contend for the school championship. Both Seniors and Juniors have won that big silver lov ing cup once, and a victory this year will mean much to* either class. On the second night members of the Senior class will present a snappy lit he comedy, "Id On Parle Francais.” Remembering the hit that the Senior -day scored last year, many comedy overs will be there to witness this par's, performance. Then will come that grand old Chiz :le Wizzle ball. This alone Is a big social event of the season. Nobody who has ever been present at one of .hese occasions will care to miss it his year. Tickets may be obtained of the stu lents or at Bither's drug store. Sea son tickets fifty cents, single tickets, hirty-flve cents. Remember, Thurs :ay and Friday, January 21st and 22d. —Adv.

Noble of this city, who is on his annual winter trip to the south ern seas, telling of his safe arrival it St. Thomas, D. W. I. Mr. Noble writes that he arrived at St. Thomas after a delightful trip of six days form New York, and that they are enjoying mild summer weather. He reports that many German ships are interned there and that as the German cruiser "Karlshrue" was reported to be some where in those waters some anxiety was felt among the people of the ship on which he is making the trip, she being British. In view of a probable, shuttle in the New England League it is rumored that an effort may be made to have one of the out of the State franchises transferred to Augusta. It is thought that this city could do as well as some of the other cities now having league ball, the extensive trolley service from the surrounding country being a great help to gate receipts. With Augusta in the league there would be con siderable rivalry between the three Maine cities, while the traveling ex penses of the other clubs would be greatly reduced.

(REPORT MERCIER INCIDENT TO POPERY MESSENGER FROM ECCLESIASTICAL AUTHORITIES Rome, Jan. IS—8:3a P. M.—A spe cial messenger from the Ecclesiastical authorities of Belgium, who succeedeJ in passing the German lines, reached Homo last night bearing a full re port concerning the situation growing out of Cardinal Mereier's Christmas pastoral letter. The report was pre sented to Pope Benedict this morning and the following is an authentic ex tract from it: "Notwithstanding the efforts of Ber lin to suppress the affair, the truth has begun to be known regarding the chicane of which Cardinal Mercier is the victim. The facts subjoined may be considered absolutely exact. “First: The Germans seized from the printer Dessain at Malines 15.000 copies of Cardinal Mereier's pastoral letter. “Second: The Germans fined the .printer 500 marks (J125) "Third: The Germans forbade the reading of the pastoral letter in a large number of parishes. "Fourth: Three German officers called at the Archbishop’s palace in Malines Jan. 2 and compelled him ro 'submit to interrogation. I “Fifth: Cardinal Mercier was pre vented Jan. 3 from presiding at a re ligious ceremony. That morning he received from Gov. General Von Bis sing a telegram inviting’ him not to go to this service, which was to take place in a church in Antwerp. “Sixth: On Jan. 4. Cardinal Mercier was detained in his palace all that day. During the morning Von Stroetn pel. aide of the staff of Gen. Von Bia sing arrived in an automobile accom 1 panied by soldiers, to bring a lettoi i from Gen. Von Bissing. Von Stroem pel demanded an Immediate reply. Thi Cardinal offered to send a reply in the course of the day to Brussels, but Von Stroempel, after telephoning from tli: headquarters of the local command ant to the governor general in Brus sels, reported to the Cardinal that h: had been ordered to remain in tht archbishopric until the Cardinal ha^ given him the reply demanded. Vor Stroempel remained until evening with the soldiers who accompanied him. “Seventh: On Jan. 6, the German' presented ,the Cardinal with the texi of a species of retraction which the;, demanded that he should sign. Tht Cardinal refused.'’ POLICE CLUB UNEMPLOYED IN CHICAGO HULL HOUSE RIOT Chicago. Jana. IS—Hull House, the j headquarters of Jane Addams, famous as a leader of women's activities and j also as a peace advocate, was the l scene of a lively battle Sunday between an army of "the unemployed” and the reserves of a couple of police districts. While the tight raged—aifj it was 1 quite a fight, with shots tired, clothes j torn, clubs swung and twenty-two i persons arrested, among them seven women—Miss Addams was away from Hull House. She was, by the irony of fate, attending a peace meeting at I a downtown hall. J. Eads How of St. Louis, the Mil- j lionaire Hobo, engaged the big as sembly hall for a meeting of men and j women out of work. It was crowded to its capacity, not only the actually I runetnployed but many students of !things sociological being present. Banners were held aloft here and there in the crowd. Some bore the t j word 'Hunger” in huge letters. Others |were decorated with the Lord's Pray- j er, with "Give us this day our daily bread” typed out conspicously. Speeches were made in half a dozen I different languages. The only speaker who employed Eng- j lish was Mrs. Lucy Parsons, widow of one of the Anarchists who was found j guilty of bomb-throwing in the Hay- market riots ®5 years ago and subse. quently hanged. Her speech was rather violent. She said that the lark of work in Chicago was not justified, and told 1 flier hearers: "As long as you accept j •charity, capitalists will not give you j work!” Among those who applauded this sen- i t intent was Miss S. P. Brecker.ridge, Dean of Women at the University of Chicago, and a large group of her stu dents. When the speechmaking concluded, scouts went through the crowd and told the men and women who described themselves as unemployed to march out i in columhs to tile street and there to as i emble for a parade. They did so, de spite the fact that the police even hrouch tile h.all and announced thai there coukl not be a parade because m permit had been issued for one. Outside the crowd formed in ranks ar.l -aised its banners in the air an started to march. Sergts. Devite an Kiceio tried to stop the procession They had scarcely uttered their pro tests when both were knocked dowi and trampled upon. Devite got ou his revolver and fired five shots in thi air. Another patrolman hearing the noise, sent in a riot call to the neares police station. Mounted and foot patrolmen, by scores rushed to the neighborhood of Hui House and charged the crowd. The pa raders, angered by the sight of the uni forms, fought back and in a generai me lee most of the policemen were knocke down. They got up, reformed their rank and began to swing their clubs with tell ing effect. The battle line was three blocks Ion in Halsted street. There was no time t discriminate between men and womer and anybody was clubbed who came with in range of the long stocks. Ambulanec and patrol wagons hurried to the seen and added to the confusion. There wer numberless black eyes and plenty o broken heads. When the melee was over and th ranks of the would-be paraders disperse it was found that 22 prisoners had bee taken, seven of them being women. On of those locked up was the Rev. Irwin SI John Tucker, rector of the Episcopa Church of the Redeemer. He is also ed itor of the Christian Socialist. Mrs. Parsons was the stormiest of th lot of prisoners. She raced in the polic station and said her arrest was unjusl She declared she had merely told the au dience that there was no need for C’hica go men to be out of work, because Amer ica had had neither a war nor an earth quake. She said she did not know a pa rade was contemplated. Miss Jane Addams got back to Hui Hou easfter all the excitement was ovei DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS STRIVES TO PERFECT SHIP PURCHASE BILL TO MEET WISHES OF REPUBLICANS Washington, Jaa. IS—Important amendments to the government ship purchase bill were discussed at a cau cus cf Senate Democrats tonight with a view to perfecting the measure so as to reduce the unalterable opposition from Republican sources. No final ac lion was taken, all amendments being referred to the commerce committee which will report to another cau cus tomorrow night. An amendment suggested, by Sena tor Hoke Smith of Georgia would pro vide that the government, after the purchase or lease of ocean going ships should first offer them to American private individuals or corporations up on terms that would equal at least four rer cent on the investment.

WANT EIGHT CLUBS IN EASTERN LEAGUE New Haven, Ct., Jan. IS.—Hope was ex pressed at the adjourned annual meeting of the Eastern Baseball Association to day of keeping the eight clubs intact for the coming season.

Plans are un derway to interest Waterbury business men in putting a team in the field. Manager Soir.ski of New Britain said he was hopeful o? placing his team at Northampton, Mass. The meeting was adjourned for two weeks, when it is ex- 1 pected formal action will be taken re garding these two clubs. Concerning public reports that plans were maturing for a consolidation of the leading teams in the New England j League and the Eastern Association, President O’Rourke claimed that he had no knowledge officially of such a plan.
