Off the Frying Ban shoals the vessel ran into a gale which carried to Hattcras, where she struck on the Outer Diamond shoal. She remained on the shoal for three hours until all masts were lost and her bows carried away. Osborn Haze’, aged 15 years, was washed overboards and lost. Adrift Five Cays For five days then the vessel drifted, a complete wreck. The crew, almost without food and with no water, were compelled to lash themselves to the deckhouses. On Jan. It; the steamer Mombass sighted the wreck and rescued all hands. As the Mombass was bound to Havre the men were transferred on I i Jan. 20 to the York Castle, which brought them to this port. Capt. Kelly was badly injured while his vessel was aground on the shea's. The Alice Lord registered 291 tons. She hailed from Bangor and was built at Millbridge in 19fC.

GERMAN CRUISER BLUECHER IS SUNK Two Other German Vessels Seriously Damaged in Furious Battle in the North Sea London, Jan. 24, 7.53 P. M.—The German armored cruiser Bluecher, of 15,550 tons displacement, was sunk in an engage ment with British warships today in the North sea. Two oth er vessels of German fleet were seriously damaged. No British ships were lost. The text of the official press bureau statement on the na val battle follows: ‘‘Early t^iis morning a British patrolling squadron of battle cruisers and ^ight cruisers, under Vice Admiral Sir David Be atty, with de drover flotilla under Commodore Tyrwhitt sight ed four Genian battle cruisers and several light cruisers and a number of destroyers steering westward, and apparently making for tl e English coast. “The ene tny at once made for home at high speed. They were at once pursued and at about 9.S0 A. M., action was join ed between the battle cruisers Lion, Tiger, Princess Royal, New Zealand and Jndcmilablc on the one hand and the Derflinger, A well contested Seydlitz, Moitjce and Bluecher on the other, running fight ensued. Shortly after 1 o’clock the Bluecher which had previously fallen out of line capsized and sank. Admiral Beatty reports that two other battle cruisers were seriously damaged. They were, however unable to continue their flight and reached an area where dangers from German sub marines and mines prevented further pursuit. “No British ships have been lost and our casualties in per sonnel as at present reported are slight, the Lion which led the line having only 11 wounded and no killed. “One hundred and twenty-three survivors have been res cued of the Bluecher’s crew of 885 and it is possible that others have been saved by some of our destroyers. No reports of any destroyer or light cruiser fighting have yet been received at the admiralty, though some has apparently taken place. “Their Lordships have expressed their satisfaction to Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty.” HARDSHIPS AND PERILS ARE MANY IN TOWMS CAMBIO Halifax, X. S., Jan. 24.—The Belgian relief ship ('amino, from California for Rotterdam, which was disabled in a storm south of Sable island on Jan. 15, is now expected to reach here tomorrow j morning, her progress with the assist ance of the United States hospital sihip Androscoggin, the British steamer Ka nawha and the Canadian government steamer Lady Laurier, having been de layed by rough weather. During a 00-mile gale last night the big steel hawser with which the Andros i coggln was towing the Camino parted, and for hours all the vessels engaged in the work of rescue were helpless. Ac cording to a wireless dispatch to the ma i rine department several members of the S Camino's crew were injured when the cable parted. After the wind and sea subsided tlie injured men were trans< lerrod to tlie hospital shiji and were giv en medical attention. Late today, the Kanawha succeeded in getting a line to the disabled ship and another start was made for this port. At 8 I’. M„ the position of the vessels was given as Lat. -14:22, Long. 62:2?. The government steamer Cartier left here tonight with a new flve-incli steel hawser which Will be sent aboard the Camino should the one now in use give way. The boilers of the Camino are now reported to be out of commission so that she is unable to use her engines, it is believed that title strain due to the heavy seas of the last week lias added to the damage caused by the storm which carried away iter rudder. WHEAT INQUIRY BRINGS TRIAL OF CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE SUIT Chicago, Jan. 24—The inquiry of the United States government into the in crease in the price of wheat is be lieved to be the cause of bringing to trial tomorrow the Federal suit against tl:e Chicago Board of Trade filed seven years ago. James A. Patten and Adolph J. Lichtenstein, brokers and members oi the "Call committee” of the board at 1 tlie time of the suit was filed will oe the first witnesses. The suit was I started under Sherman anti-trust law. It sought the abciiticn of the call com mittee which, according to the gov ernment's allegations, was composed at members of the board. The members j of the committee, it is said, would meet every afternoon when the board had adjourned and fix the price of all i grain. The government charges that this ■\vas arbitrary action in violation of the Sherman law, and the control of the call committee was so effective that it prevented any lowering of the price in any section of the market. At taches of the government say the call committee has been abolished for two years. At the office of the district attor ney, no reason was given for the seven years delay in bringing the suit to trial. James M. Kelliher of Bangor. James M. Kelliher, aged 24, son of James H. Kelliher died Friday at Ban gor.

The British cruisers suffered only slight injuries. So far as is known on ly 122 of the Bluecher's crew of 883 j were saved. Second Battle A battle also occurred between the j light cruisers and destroyers accom panying the bigger ships, but the re j suit, of this engagement has not yet i reached the admiralty. The British were superior in ships engaged, weight of armament and speed and the flight of the German I ships into the mine and submarine j infested field possibly saved them j from further losses. The Cruiser Lost i The Bluecher, although commission ed in 1900, was completely re-rigged 1 last year. She was not classed as a battle cruiser, but was in the next j class to those formidable fighters. W ith her were the Derflinger, Ger many’s latest battle cruiser, which had just left ihe builders’ hands and the battle cruisers Seydlit.7. and Moltke, the latter a sister ship of the Goeben, formerly of the German navy I but now of the Turkish lleet, which was recently reported damaged by the Russians in the Black sea. British Squadron The British squadron, commanded by Vice Admiral Bir David Beatty, who also was in command at the bat tle off Helgoland last August, consist ed of the battle cruisers Tiger, Lion, Princess Royal, New Zealand and In domitable. The first three of these cruisers mount eight 13.5 inch guns each and even the New Zealand and Indomitable carry 12-inch guns which are equal to those of the Derflinger, the only one of the German ships that had better fh*an 11-inch guns. Commodore Reginald Y. Tyrwhitt, who also took part in the battle off Helgoland, commanded the light cruis ers and'destroyers which accompanied Vice Admiral Beatty's battle cruisers.

It is said that this plan provides for an ex change of forces between Germany and Austria, the former sending large contingents to Transylvania as a de fence against an invasion by Rumania, should that nation decide to enter the war, anti the latter sending corres ponding contingents to Flanders and France The German troops, continues the dispatch, will find in Hungary a large German staff so hereafter the strate gical movements and military govern ment of the country will be intrusted to the German elements while Count Tusza, the Hungarian premier, Baron Burian, the Austro-Hungarian minis ter c-f foreign‘affairs and other Hun garian statesmen will center their en ergies in looking after the internal affairs of Austria. ■5*-* gIR EDW. GOSCHEN, British Ambassador Concerned in Von Beth mann-Hollweg’s Explana tion of Phrase “Scrap of Paper** THAT SCRAP OF PAPER IN A NEW LIGHT General Field Headquarters of the German Armies (in France via Ber lin and London), Jan. 24, 4.20 P. M.— "I am surprised to learn that my phrase ‘a scrap of paper/ which I used in may last conversation with the British ambassador in reference to the Belgian neutrality treaty, should have caused such an unfavorable im pression in the United States. The expression was used in quite another connection and the meaning to that implied in Sir William Edward Gosch en’s report and the turn given to It in the biased comment of our enemies are undoubtedly responsible for this im pression.’ Tells A. P. Reporter The speaker was Dr. Theobald Von Bothmann-Hollweg, the German Im perial Chancellor and the conversion with a representative of The Asso ciated Press occurred at the German army field headquarters in a town of northern France, and in a villa serv ing as the office and dwelling for the Imperial chancellor for the foreign minister Gottlieb Von Jagow, and for the members of the diplomatic suite accompanying Emperor William aliold. The chancellor apparently had not realized the interest in the subject un til his notice was called to the extent to which the phrase had been used in discussion on the responsibility of the war.. He then volunteered to give an explanation of his meaning, which in substance was that he had spoken of the treaty, not as a scrap of paper for Germany, but as an instrument which had become obsolete through Belgium's forfeiture of its neutrality, I and that Great Britain had quite other reasons for entering into the war, compared with which the neutrality treaty appeared to have only the value of a scrap of paper. Dire Necessity “My conversation with Sir William Goschen." said the chancellor, "oc curred Aug. 4. I had just declared in the Reichstag that only dire ne cessity and only the struggle for ex istence compelled Germany to march through Belgium, but that Germany was ready to make compensation for the wrong committed. When I spoke I already had certain Indications, but no absolute proof upon •which to base a public accusation, that Belgium long before had abandoned Its neutrality. In its relations with England. (Nevertheless I took Germany's responsi bilities toward the neutral states so seriously that I spoke frankly of the wrong committed by Germany. “What was the British attitude on the (Continued on Page 2—Column 3) ENGLISH EXULTIN VICTORY Receive News of Sink* ing Bluecher in North Sea Battle and Enthu siasm Is Unbounded NOW WAITING FOR RUMANIA ACTION Germany Forcing Deci sion of Country Pre paring for War—Re port Germany Taking Over Austria-Hunga ry Military Affairs London, Jan. 24.—10.35 P. M.' —The naval battle in the North sea with the sinking of the Ger man cruiser Bluecher, which has inspired the people with greater confidence in the ability of the British fleet to prevent a repe tition of the German raids on the East coast towns, has arous ed the greatest enthusiasm in England and for the moment has diverted interest from the war, on land, the political problems of Austria-Hungary and the possi ble action of Rumania. Artillery Busy So far as the West is concerned, th6' land fighting has again been confln-i ed largely to artillery engagements,' which have been almost continuous fr<jm the sea to the Swiss frontier. Alii arms, however, are still engaged in the Argonne where trenches have been lest and re-taken several times within two days and in Alsace, where both sides are putting forth vast ef forts. Poland Conditions In Poland decisive results are just as lacking as in France, but there are expectations that Russia’s new offen sive to the north of the Lower Vistu la will bring about a change in the character of the operations. It Is be lieved that it will certainly tax Ger man’s resources, Just at the moment when she is called upon to send addi tional troops to assist in opposing Russia’s threatened invasion of Hun gary and the menace from the rising possibility of Rumania taking a hand in the war. It is unofficially reported from Vienna that the Austrians have checked the Russian advance in Southern Bukowina, which, if true, points to the arrival there of fresh Austrian-German forces. Rumania Developments Germany—although she has not de 1 livered a note to Rumania—has sever al times inquired from that country the meaning of her mobilization and preparation for war, which should soon bring the matter to a head. Austria-Hungary Rumors There are all sorts of reports, chief ly from Rome of political happenings in Austria-Hungary. It is said Ger j many has taken complete charge of the the military affairs of the mon archy. It is further reported that German troops will be sent to Hungary Instead cf into Servia, as originally intended and that Austrian troops will rep'ac* them ir. France. In fear of another air raid, church services were not held in many of the towns of Norfolk this evening, and the lights were dimmed.

Bangor, Me., Jan. 24.—Flatly declaring s that he never discussed matrimony In -i any way with Miss Elizabeth L. Gar mong of Iowa, She young woman doctor 1 who is suing him for $250,000, alleging breach of promise to marry, John B. Henderson, Jr., Harvard ’91, son of the late multi-millionaire United States sen ator from Missouri, explained his gifts of about $£00 to the complainant by de claring that she had threatened to leave a chiid on his mother's doorstep and to declare to the world that he had wrong ed and abandoned her. Accused a Doctor The lion. Oscar F. Fellows, former president of the Maine Bar Association, conducted the defence, which began Sat urday afternoon, following Miss Gar mong's admission under cross-examina tion that sho had sworn a doctor in her home town was the fnther of the child, and elicited from Henderson this state ment: ■‘There had never been said anything about marriage. I never asked her to marry me, by word or letter, or by any implication, and she knows it.” Henderson, whose wife died in 1907, added: "There never was any sentiment between Miss Garmong and myself. I had loaned her a little money, she say ing she needed funds to go home from Bar Harbor. I got the money from my mother and it was a loan. No Love in Letters "The first I knew of her condition was in 1910." Before that time he had an swered several letters from Miss Gar mong and the correspondence covered a ._ period of a year and a half, and he ad mitted authorship of all. In none, how ever, was there anything of a personal or sentimental nature. "In November, 1910,” lie testified, Miss (lannong ‘phoned me from the Hotel Driscoll, Washington, saying that if I did not come to h«r, she J would come to tho house.” This was before the action brought in Maine, whereby Miss Garmong sought to es tablish Henderson as father of the child, and to support it. This suit es tablished Mr. Henderson's innocence, the Jury finding him not guilty of be ing the father of the child, suit hav ing originated at Bar Harbor. "Not desiring any scene at the house, I went to see her. She at once accused me of being responsible for her con dition. I denied it wholly. To every statement I made, in expostulation at a such wilfully wicked accusation, she replied, ‘You are the father of my child, and you will take care of it and me.' Called It Blackmail "i tried to reason with her as to the awfulness of placing so serious an accusation on an innocent man, but sho persisted in her declaration, and I saw that she had elected me. "I told her that her action was blackmail, and that if 1 submitted to it, my only reason was regard for my sick father. "She said she would get a nurse, a Mrs. Merden. This woman, she said, told her it would be all right, and I would never have occasion to worry any more. I later learned that no ouch nurse existed, Miss Garmong perform ing the role herself. “I had never given her any money up to this time. I gave her $500, and she said she would never annoy me again. She did, however, and Anally she agreed to take $900 in four instal ments and cease annoyance forever. I stipulated that this was to be paid through an attorney. One payment was made, of $223, and she never would sign a receipt for any other, so payments ceased and I told her I would fight the matter in court.” Mr. Henderson concluded hia testi mony for the afternoon, to be resum ed Monday, with this: “Miss Garmong said to me, 'I think the devil must be in me, for wherever I go I am bound to get some man into trouble. It seems to be my nature to get people into trouble.' Cross-examination, lasting two, hours, failed to shake Mr* Henderson's statements, he reiterating firmly all his direct statements. With Him Three Weeks Miss Garmong yesterday testified that she first met the defendant in the summer of 1909, when he was intro duced by his father, the late Senator Henderson, at the home of Major Ames at. Chevy Chase, Md.; that Henderson called on her and invited her to Bar Harbor. She went there that summer and spent three weeks, in which time the defendant was very attentive and affectionate; that they went walking, riding and motor boating. Miss Garmong testified that while there the defendant told her hp loved her and intended to make her his wife; that he had given her $90. which she intended to pay back, but he had later written her the letter offered in testi mony to consider it a contribution *o her summer outing. Child Born in November She went from Bar Harbor to Scran ten, then to Philadelphia and to Wash ington. She testified that Henderson visited her frequently and wrote her often. In March, 1910, she said, he re ferred to their marriage as to be with in that year. Letters were introduced, mostly of a friendly nature, of early dates m 1910. One dated July 10. which the plain tiff said was in answer to one in which she told Henderson that she was to become a mother, said that it might be well for her to go away from home. The plaintiff said that the next letter contained two $30 bills. Her child was hern in Washington, Nov. 8, 1910. Dismissed Her by Phone In the summer of 19X1. the plaintiff says she went to Bar Harbor and af ter several ineffectual efforts to see the defendant she talked with him over the telephone and he told her that he was all through with her. Since that time the plaintiff said she had been supporting herself and child by doing domestic service in several places in Maine, and for some time in and near Bangor. The plaintiff testified tiiat Henderson told her over the telephone: “You can take our baby and go to- with her. I am all through with you." WINTHROP Officers of Abenaki Chapter O. E.

A CORRESPONDENT'S DISCOVERIES IN TOUR OF LORRAINE FRONTIER Nancy, France, Jan. 24.—(Via Paris, Jan 24.)—U.2u P. M.—Throughout the war, the veil cf secrecy has hung thickest over the Lorraine -frontier, and if a correspondent was to be shown anything, he always was sent elsewhere. Among the spurs of the Vosges around Nancy has occurred fighting unsurpassed for stubbornness and picturesqueness. Here command of the heights meant that the valley was a death trap. Here the woods and forests screen artillery from aerial reconnaissance and the conditions of the wilderness in the Civil War in the “United States aften are reproduced. Nancy Remains Thrifty In Nancy the thrifty and tidy cap ital of FTench Lorraine, life seems more normal than in Paris. The city is used to having war on the outskirts as the German aviators need only to fly 20 miles to drop one of their bombs and there is no surprise to the popu lation. Nancy is as brilliantly lighted as in peace time until 10 o’clock in the evening, when all the lights are put out. Officers, rosy-cheeked from the mountain gales, come in from the front to dine at a restaurant. They look as sturdy as lumber jacks. From the high points !n the suburbs the gun firing from some directions is audible, which mear.s that some French batteries saw some Germans in its range working on a trench or is touch ing up a German battery. The correspondent's first one of three tours was northv. arcl in tiie directi in of Pont-A-Mousson and the Le Petie forest In front of. the German wedges in the French lines between fortresses of Tout and Verdun It is a dull day in Pont-A Mousson when no shells fall. The people take to cover with the first and go on with business when the shower is over. Tiie forests are scarred in many places, as for lumbering operations where fields for fire have been cleared, but usually there have been only scattered cuttings, so as to leave tiie branches of other trees as a screen and with wood at hand for cooking, for building shelters, tor horses and for timbering the trenches and shell-pro ms tor the men. French Army Outing The French army in the Vosges is having a healthy woodland outing. There rabbits and other game, in cluding wild boars, are to be shot. The artillery is not popular, because a shell from it, striking the limb of a tree, makes splinters with power of pene tration enough to cause nasty wounds. The French soldiers literally are stuffed with food. Many of them live better than at home. The bracing mountain air gives them keen appe tites. An officer told me that the men of his company now averaged five pounds more in weight than when they went to war. In the forest regions, where the lines are close together, as trenches are taken and retaken at critical points, Red Cross cars are waiting on the sidings to take south the wounded. In the open country when there are no trees to screen the guns, the pains taken to hide them are most ingenious. The correspon dent and his party literally walked into one battery. Indeed they might have walked over it, as the only sign of Its existence was a cellar-like opening for descent under the timbered roof, covered with dirt and such as might be used to keep vegetables in the Win ter. Over this a slight snowfall had merged these gun positions into a white landscape to the German avia tors. who are up every day, however icy the winds may be. Where Gunners hive The gunners were living in a cellar built below the guns. Its floors ar^ heap ed with straw. "Don’t tell Emperor William where we are,” said one of the gunners. “We are sure he does not know." "While in the flat countin’ of Belgium and northwestern France or.e never knows with ids own eyes the meaning of I csitions, from any height in the Vosges the lines become as clear as those of Gettysburg from Round Top. From the hill of Genevieve looking north It is dear why the Germans cannot drive their St. Mibiel wedge any farther, and also why tlie French are having difficulty in forcing out the Germans. hooking east toward Metz, tree-crown ed crests form a frontier against the cold blue sky. The lields in the imme diate foreground up to the French posi tions in the nearest woods are bare. Ex cert for a stray messenger all commu nications are carried out and all supplies furnished under cover of darkness: Thanks to the watchfulness of the sharpshooters and the artillery, the sol diers in the front trenches literally are prisoners during the day. As far as one can see over that white world of mountains and wooas, both the French and German positions could be plotted It is clear why each side holds where it is in this winter state. Men can no more lie out nights on the cold slopes of the Vosges in any extensive forward movement than they could in I the Tennessee mountains under Grant and Longstrect. London, Jan L'—(2.13 A. M.).—Up to the present hour the admiralty has issued no further details of the naval battle. The London morning papers editorially expressed satisfaction of what they de scribe as retribution for Germany's raids on the east coast of England In Dover. Harwich and other naval ports the news created great joy. None of the units engaged in the battle has returned, however, so there are no further particulars. It Is considered a victory for the heavy gun and the swift hattle cruiser and the papers point out the fact that while Great Britain still retains intact 10 such battle cruisers, which she had at the beginning of the war. Germany, which has sacrificed the Goeben to Turkey, now has only four, including the Derfelinger. The Bluechcr was at the beginning of the war Prince Henry of Prussia's flag ship in the Raltis, but it is undedstood that at the commencement of winter he hauled down his flag. The Times in an editorial on the naval engagement in the North s a points our that the moial of every sea fight in the present war has been "Guns. gum-, guns, coupled with speed." The editorial declares the Bluechcr wa« one of the German ships which bombard ed Scarborough and says it is Interest ing to remember that she was •‘Germa ny's reply to England's first Dread nought.” The Times' naval correspondent in a review of the naval fight assumes that from the composition of the Ger man squadron, as announced by the British official press bureau, it was intended that the adventure should be on a large scale and at a long dis tance from the German base. "Probably," the correspondent adds, "the squadrons met in the early morn ing and apparently a running fight of 1 a hundred miles or more occurred at miles an hour. It does great credit j to the marksmanship of the British gunners that at such a rate of speed they should have indicted such seri uus damage on the retreating enemy. The names of the four German cruisers include all the effective ves i sels of this class in German waters, except the Von Dor Tann, which re cently was reported to have sustained an injury of some sort. Thus, with the Bluecher sunk and two others I damaged, the strength of the Ger man battle fleet in this respect has i been reduced to a couple of ships. Probably if the Dertlinger was lead ing it may have been the Seydletz and Moltke which were damaged? By this action the Germans are deprived of the services of the fast wing to their battle fleet of ever they chal j lenge for a decisive fight for sea com mand.” The Times, in common with other morning papers, congratulates the country on what It says is the prov ed vigilance of the navy. The Times adds that only the admiralty and the j commanders of the squadrons know by how very small a margin—a mat ter of a half hour and a fog the Ger j man squadron escaped after the Scar borough raid. CONDENSED WAR NEWS A British squadron, composed of a powerful artd swift battle cruisers pa trolling the North sea, has encoun tered a German squadron presumably bound from the British coast and has won what is considered in England an important victory. The German ar mored cruiser Biuecher was sunk and two battle cruisers are reported to have been badly damaged. Together with a fourth German battle cruiser, the damaged bessels found safety in their home waters. Other vessels of the British and Ger man fleets, consisting of light cruisers and destroyers, also were engaged, bu; the result has not yet become known to the British admiralty. That the revolutionary movement in the Union of South Africa has not been entirely suppressed is indicated by the official announcement Pretoria that 1200 rebels under Lt. Col. Marita have attacked Uplngton. The rebels were repulsed but nearly 1100 of them go: away. While artillery Is playing the leading role along the front in Belgium and France tlhere are reports of vast mili tary preparations in Alsace where it is thought that the Germans are about to inaugurate a strong offensive movement •against the French In the Vosges. .Heavy German reinforcements are being sent to that district. Neither the French nor the German official statement recites any incident that materially affects the situation. In the eastern theatre the Russains are supposed to be engaged in a series of movements in Poland, which will bring about a change in the operations in that territory. While the Russians attempt to outflank the Austrian right wing in southern Bukowina is said to have been frustrated. The Imperial German chan cellor, Dr. Von Bethamm.Hollweg, In an interview given at the general field

■headquarters of the German armies in France has given an explanation of his phrase “A scrap of paper" used with reference to the treaty guaranteeing Belgian neutrality, which was that he had spoken of the treaty not as a scrap of paper for Germany, but as an instru ment which had become obsolete through Belgium's forfeiture of its neutrality. Ho declared that Great Britain haul other reasons than the preservation of Belgian neutrality for entering the war, compared with what the neutrality trea ty appeared to have only the value of a i scrap of paper—her own private inter ests. ,5000 BARRELS OF APPLES FOR ENGLAND Portland, Me.. Jan. 24—The steamer Manchester Exchange cleared for Man chester, Eng., Saturday morning with 5000 barrels of apples. The wheat re serve here is now more than 6,000,000 bushels.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT BY FRENCH OFFICE Paris, Jan. 24.—(4.25 P. M.).—The official ■talement issued today by the French war office said: “In the region of Nieuport and Lom baertzyde the enemy, by a violent bom bardment of new positions captured by us, prepared an attack which he has not been able to carry out. Our artillery in fact dispersed gatherings of infantry, which with fixed bayonets were prepar ing to make the assault. "Around Ypres there have been a rtil lery engagements of varying intensity. Near Rutoire (in the neighborhood of Vermelles) our artillery has compelled the enemy to evacuate an advanced trench. ‘In the valley of the Aisne our bat teries have reduced to silence or demol ished several of the Germans guns; they have also compelled the enemy's air ships to make a detour, and destroyed entrenchments near Soupier and Heurte bise. "Near Berre-Au-Bacli (Hill 1C8) our in fantry has taken a trench. “From the Aisne to the Argonne and the Stitors to Prunay, Souain. Perthese. Beausejour and ilassieges, and to the north of Villa-Sur-Tourbe, the fighting of our artillery continued and was ef fective against the enemy's works. “In the Argonne in the region of tSt. Hubert and Fontaine Madame an in fantry engagement continued in a por tion of an advance trench which has been taken, lost and retaken several times during 4S hours. Between the Vos ges and the Meuse a thick fog has pre vented operations. "In Alsace, in the region of Hartmann Weilcrkopf, we have, in spite of the ex treme difficulty of tlie ground, made pro gress on our right.

AUTOMOBILES TURN TIDE OF BATTLE Berlin, Jan. 24—The automobile played an important role in deciding the battle of Soissons. It is now learn ed that reinforcements, brought up by a column of more than 200 automobiles on the night of Jan. 12, and thrown in on the German left flank at Vregny, turned the scale when the Germans were making their counter stroke, and enabled them to sweep the French from the plateau. Hitherto automobiles have been but little used by the Germans in this cam paign, except for the transportation of riflemen attached to cavalry divisions, owing to the length of time required for loading in motor cars large bodies of troops which, to a great extent neu talizes the extra speed in the actual movements. On this occasion the troops were drawn up four abreast In a column along the road. As each au tomobile arrived men clambered in quickly and without confusion.

COURT RULES AGAINST POPE *_ Rome, Jan. 24.—1.13 P. M.—An inter esting legal point has been raised by a contest over a legacy of $33,000 left by the Rev. Cesare Salvi.

The money was to be used for such charitable purposes as the recipient might elect. (ardinal Scampa's death occurred before that of Father Salvi and he was succeeded by Cardinal Della Chiesa, who is now Pope Benedict. Fa ther Salvi's will was contested by his relatives on the ground that Cardinal Scampa had died and that his suc cessor, having become .Pope, could not receive the legacy unless author ized by a special royal decree. Conse quently, It was held, neither of the persons designated In the will could receive the money. The court decided today that the present archbishop of Bologna, Mon signor Guzmanl, was the only person entitled to clalip the Inheritance.

LONDON POPULACE FEAR AIR RAIDS London, Jan. 24—A second Zeppelin scare that sent thousands of residents scurrying into their cellars left London slightly unnerved Saturday though the government took pains to deny the re port that a German dirigible had again visited the east coast. Reports of a German aerial bombard ment of Dunkirk and other French coast cities across the narrow channel increas ed the feeling of nervousness here. These reports, coming by way of Paris, declar ed that a group of German aviators dropped nearly 100 bombs on the French coast towns, killing seven persons and injuring at least a score. The report of the air raid on Dunkirk was not officially confirmed here. Paris dispatches said the news was given out officially there, but at least one govern ment official here suggested that the re port may have emanated from the same condition of fright that was responsible for last night's wild rumors. A careful inquiry at various coast points today absolutely failed to sub stantiate the rumor that a Zeppelin raid er has passed over Cromer and proceeded south in the direction of London. The chief of police at Cromer ridiculed the story that the whirring of the air ship's propellers awakened half the town and said he was positive the report was untrue.

C. A. basketball team Saturday evening IS to 18 on the T M. C. A. gymnasium floor. The game was fast in the last period and the ultimate result in doubt until within a few minutes of the end. A well-caged basket by one of the Pittsfield forwards proved too much for the local five to overcome. I'pholding their reputation as winners, the upriver aggregation, on the short end of the score at the end of the first half, came back so strong in the beginning of the second half that before the local five was fully aware the score had been tied and they were fighting hard to save themselves from delea; then and there At the beginning the local five could shoot better and played an open offensive game that seemed to puzzle the visitors for the time being—enough so that the score became localized immediately—and a combination of puaaea Thompson to Henna to the basket by the war of Pur lnton. gave the locate a lead, but not substantial The defence of the visitors tightened and no sooner did a local man get the ball that he was covered, and the offence of the visitors looked dan geroUE. for with such tactics the experi ence o! the upriver bunch told and snots were continually being made at the lo cals goal, which oustinatelv refused to be tallied. The locale seemed unable to play thei' full passing game and were greatly handicapped against their heavier, slight ly faster opponents on so small a floor Their on!> chance lay in being more fa miliar with the baskets and keeping us best they could from the vigorous covering of opposing backs Making ev ery shot count, the locals succeeded in leading when The whistle for the end of the first half blew. Tne Second Period Coming back on the floor the game took on unexpected speec and Pittsfield in a whirlwind fashion tied the score with a all R Tarbell. the big center of the visitors—a seemingly sunny dis positioned youth whose head bespoke of danger—was here, there and everywhere, his offensive playing forming for a great pari tiie sole part of his team around which revolved their uttack and when evei a series of passes lanoeii the ball in ills hand it began to look dangerous This man's playing towered above that of his teammates even as he did in stat ure. and he followed up his shots from the middle ol the floor with a leap and a bound, and if he had been more sure of these would have proven the most formidable man among the visitors Henna o! the locals Is a fast player as is Purinton, though light, and the fact remains that this, the second game of the locals' career against a team of more experience w ho played with more vigor ous methods and had perfected a better passing game, is one to he proud of The visitors had to fight for every inch of advantage In the second half time was called for one ot the visitors, who got half of Leighton's tooth buried somewhere in his head, and the locals seemed to lose some of their vim after that.

Monday. January 25, 1915. Exporta and Ships. The Evening Post of New Tork, cannot follow President Wilson and his party leaders on the ship purchase bill. The Post has swallowed much tv ilsonism but carefully surveying conditions, It finds no use for the pro posed gut arnment ownership fallacy. It says: L*st night's caucus of Dem ocratic- .Senators was ominous for the Ship Purchase bill. A final decision ■was not reached, and there is to be another meeting to-night; but so many strong objections were made to the bill as it stands, so many im portant amendments -wero referred to the Committee on Commerce, and there was such a lack of hearty en dorsement of the whole measure, that it seems to be doomed to failure at this session. It certainly will fail if the Republicans put up the stout light against it which they promise to make. With appropriations struggling for right of way, and less than seven weeks of working time left, no bill r.f this contentious nature can be passed before March 4, if full advan itage is taken of the rules of the Sen ate to prevent it. This feeling that\they are engaged :in a hopeless undertaking may have 'had something to do with the want of enthusiasm shown by the Dem ocratic Senators last night. And many ’may also have been influenced by other things. They may have had be fore them the figures of the American export trade for December. These show a total higher than ever before reached in that month, except one. [The full details are not yet at hand. If it be said that the abnormally high (prices of wheat must have swollen ft he money value of the exports, it can hie replied that the abnormally low (prices of cotton were at least a iiartial oftset. Anyhow, there stand the big figures, strongly tending to refute the underlying contention of the Govern 'ment. ship purchasers, that American 'goods cannot be sent abroad because 'there are not enough ships to carry (them. Much to the same purport is ;the reported interview, yesterday, be ‘iween Mr. Morgan and the President. tThe hanker told Mr. Wilson that the sudden leaping up of American ex ports had so changed the whole for eign-exchange situation that it was bin longer necessary to keep the gold ipool in existence. t All this necessarily gives the Ship Purchase bill the look of a superfluous Bagger on the stage. Its original pro cessed intent was to meet an emer gency. Hut that emergency has largely passed away. This is so generally ad mitted that the ground has been shift ed now, and it is argued that the bid gi\cs us n line chance for making a beginning of an American merchant marine. But the bill must be one thing or me other. Tf it is absolutely neces sary in order to surmount a crises, the country might condone in it some features which seem ill-considered pnd full of danger. But if it is a bill, of a large and far-sighted kind, to restore the American flag to the ocean, then the discussion of it must be on another basis. It cannot any longer justify ns dubious provisions as emer gency m* asurorado county, about forty miles east and north of Sacramento. Marshall had entered into a sort of partnership with John A. Sut ter, a Swiss, and ex-French army officer, who had settled, nearly a decade before, where Sacramento now stands, and had secured from the Mexican Government large land grants, and who owned vast herds and maintained hundreds of native retainers. Marshall was at Coloma developing crude waterpower on the American river to drive a sawmill. A long tail race had been dug. In walking along this tail-race early in the afternoon of January 24, 1848, Marshall noticed some tiny, dull yellow lumps mingling with the newly-excavated earth and water. Debating whether it was worth while to bend his back to investi gate, he finally picked up several, deciding, upon examination, that there was a bare possibility of their being gold. Two or three days later, having gathered a small pouchful, he rode to the Fort, as Sutter’s headquarters was called, and summoned that potentate to a mysterious confer ence. From various crude tests there instituted it was determined that the lumps were, in truth, nuggets of almost pure gold, Cali fornia had been under explora tion for 300 years and for nearly a century had been occupied by Spanish. Mexicans and Ameri cans. There were over 2000 Americans within its borders in 1847, at the time the government passed to the United States. Today. California has produced approximately two billion dollars in gold, the government's Incom plete records placing the sum at about 51,700,000,000. The high mark was reached in 1856 with 557,509.411. The present output i3 about 521,000,000 annually. Notwithstanding efforts on the part of Sutter and Marshall to .suppress it. news of the discovery soon leaked out and by midsum mer of 1848 virtually the whole California populace had turned to gold-seeking. The tieasure was found everywhere, in the hills and gulches, for 300 miles along the Sierras. Nuggets worth from 51 to 520,000 were of common occur rence. It is estimated that ten million dollars had been scooped up by the close of 1848, before the mighty inrush from the east set in. The early gold-seekers, hav ing no knowledge of mining or metallurgy, believed that the de posits had washed down from a common source, high in the Sierras—a mountain of pure gold —and scores of expenditions to search for it were undertaken. Gold quartz, discovered in 1851, dispelled that theory. Some of the ledges located in that year have been followed into the earth slanting for distances of over a mile and are still being worked. During the thirty years follow ing 1855, some $300,000,000 was extracted from the hills of a little group of northern countries by the hydraulic process. This was finally prohibited by law owing to the huge quantities of debris, washed down upon the valleys. The migration to California transcended any similar occur rence in history, over 100,OuO crossing the plains or going by sea in 1849 alone. starved and shivering masses on th? streets each night, are the immediate objects toward which the municipal heads are frantically turning in this emergency. L'nless some master mind finds a way to avert the impending disaster. New Yorkers fear bloodshed, riot, starvation as well as wholesale sickness and death before the winter is over. In Washington our Democratic friends are talking of a government bureau the sole purpose of whicii shall be to find jobs for the jobless they have made with false policies. If American day laborers can be kent alive until 1916 they are likely to be heard from. Boozes Ashamed of Each Other. According to information now available the beer interests have determined to "get from under”; they have made up their minds that the time has come when they must object to being lined up with tlie whiskey interests. It is therefore as serted that when Congress next takes up tlie proposed constitutional amend ment—a date In all probability not far distant—the whiskey people will be found going it alone, while the makers of beet will be advocating' the adoption of a constitutional amendment permitting the manufacture and sale of standard beer and light wines. In other words, the makers of beer, from the point of view er the radical temperance people, are getting in a position where it may be pos sible for them to "save something out of the wreck."—Washington Correspond ence of the Boston Transcript. We don't blame the beer interests for being ashamed of their associate, the whiskey trust. And we don't blame the distillers for being ashamed of the brewers. Both have reason to be ashamed, and all intelligent people are ashamed of both. But when these great selfish, immoral businesses be come ashamed of each other there's a growing hope for decency. President Yuan Shih-kai of China, has given his approval to the ne>v marriage tax which will go into effect immediately and which should prove very productive, inasmuch as it is es timated that there are 3,000,000 mar riages annually in China, and no one minus a taxed license will be con sidered legally married. The police stations are constituted the guardians of legal matrimony, for they alone can sell you a first, second or third-class chance. To be first-class costs one second class, $1; while you can be married properly, if plainly, for the sum of fifty cents. Why wouldn't a divorce tax on the Fame plan be a good thing for this country? Such an overbalancing proportion of "legal separations" are In so-called “high life” that the high rate would be most in demand.

PinkhamVVeg etable Compound Carried Her Safely Through Change of Life. Cedar Rapids,Iowa.—“At the Change j of Life the doctor said I would have to give up my work and take my bed for some time as there was no help for me but to lie still. I took Lydia E. Pink* ham’s Vegetable Compound and kept up my work and now I am over the Change and that is all I took. It was better for me than all the doctor’s medicines I tried. Many people have no faith in patent medicines but I know this is good.”—Mrs. E. J. Rickets, 354 8th Avenue, West, Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Such warning symptoms as sense of suffocation,hot flashes, headaches, back aches,dread of impending evil, timidity, sounds in the ears, palpitation of the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregu-: larities, constipation, variable appetite, weakness and inquietude, and dizziness, are promptly heeded by intelligent wo men who are approaching the period in life when woman’s great change may i be expected. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound invigorates and strengthens the female organism and builds up the weak-1 ened nervous system. It has carried many women safely through this crisis.

Editorial Comment A Strong Indication. t Portland Express. Perhaps one might not expect to find in n vaudeville theatre an indication of how a community feels towards the President of the I'nited States, but one of the actors at the New Portland last week mu-st have decided that he was not in a Democratic stronghold. ID made a great hit -with a topical song, responding to several encores which were loudly encorod. Filially he sang a verse which, doubtless, he planned to be his most telling one. It had to do with the war and the serious problems this Coun try may encounter, in keeping out of the mix-up. The climax of the verse was reached In the last line or two which was to the effect that in President Wil son we fortunately have a President wise enough to keep the good old V. S. A. from all harm. The silence that greeted this effort was painful. Perhaps it Is need’ess to add that the singer found no necessity for another verse. Voices of the Press When a liquor -inspired crime occurs In Maine the rum-supporting papers Jump at the opportunity to shout that it was due to “prohibition booze." If a similar crime occurs in a wet state the papers generally make some casua^ men tion of the fact that "the man had been drinking.”—Portland Evening Express and Advertiser.

Earlier in the day he had teen 15 miles from Boston. He was now only 11 miles away. The condition of his pock- j ets was such that there was no way for him to reach the city without further, wear on his shoes. Several automobiles had rushed past him toward the city, but, although he had looked at them appealingly, the drivers had made no sign that they were willing to help the footsore pedestrian. He grew a little bitter as lie put one foot up and the other foot down on the dusty road. Finally he was hailed by tlie driver of a car that bore a Pennsyl vania license number. “Hey. there, do you know the way to Boston?" “Yes, r do. Just follow me. 1 am go ing there."

He was an old line Whig in politics, and was opposed to the civil war, but while outspoken in his sentiments, he would not leave Florida though he would not actively fight the I'nion. During part of that conflict he served as company clerk, and acted as quartermaster and commissary for Capt. Hopkins’ cavalry company, later commanded by Capt. Winston Ste phens, and then by Capt. K.

In 1862-C!, he represented Putnam coun ty in the state legislature, and soon after having removed to Duval county, he be came treasurer of that county, which position lie held until 1876. except for the years of 1872-7!;, when he served as may or of Jacksonville. In ISSf he was elect ed state senator from DuvaJ county. Al though a Republican Jn his politics and, therefore, in opposition to a large num ber of leading men of the state, his conservative and consistent course in the senate made him many friends even in the ranks of his opponents. In 1854 he wes induced to become a candidate for lieutenant governor, but even a strong personal following failed to 'break the party lines and he was defeated. In 1885 he was a yaluable member of the constitutional convention, which, f-amed the present organic law of Flor ida. In 1SS6 he was n candidate for con gress, but the time had passed when a Republican could 'be elected. In the meantime, lit had been engaged in real estate business, and when in 1874 the Florida Savings Rank and Realty Et change was organized, he became its president, which position he held 1!: years, and until it went out of business In 1888 the Rand Mortgage Rank of Ron don, England, was organised in Jackson ville. with Greeley, Rollins and Morgan as resident agents.

WiHEN the train pulled into Lop Aneeies the next morning John Dorr’s party got off. and John left Ruth with Tom Kane while he went to engage nn automobile to take them to Beverly Hilis, a suburb recommended by Ever ett as quiet and restorative for shat tered nerves. As they stood there Wilkerson. Mrs. Darnell and Estelle also got off the train, still disguised, and were hurry ing away when Wilkerson observed Ruth and called Jean's attention to her. For an instant she was nonplused Then she said in a low tone: “So much the better. We can keep an eye out on them.” “I must find out where they are go ing to," Wilkerson returned “I don't like the looks of it." He soon came hack with word that they had ordered the car to take them to Beverly Hills. After soma inquiry Wilkerson found the address of a hotel that seemed to answer their requirements, and they were soon on their way thither in a taxi. Within an hour the deft Estelle had installed herself and her mistress in a comfortable suit. Wilkerson took a room near by. Then came the ques tion of their disguises. "There is no need of wearing them any longer." Wilkerson -stated. “If need he we can put them on again." Mrs. Darnell laughed scornfully. ‘‘Yes. and all the hotel people saw us come in with our disguises on. What will they think if they see entirely different people occupying these roonjs?" Wilkerson had already started to re move his makeup. Mow he paused. But his reckless nature got the better SHt Smiled Maliciously. “Forgery!" of him. and he laughed at her fears. So they both were soon their real selves and sat down to a hearty break fast in Mrs. Darnell's rooms. This ended, Jean took out the papers and spent an hour going over them carefully. Wilkersou smoked nervous ly, but did not interrupt her. When she laid the documents down he saw a queer glitter in her tawny eyes. “So it has come to the old game, eh?” she said in a low voice. “1 thought you had had enough of that.” “Enough of what?” he demanded quickly. She smiied maliciously. She formed the word slowly and precisely: “For gery!” His dark face grew pallid, and hie eyes flashed ominously. “I did it for you that time—and no thanks! But this is all right. Those deeds are gen uine." “They merely assure the property to Thomas Gallon and his heirs aDd as signs. When you found Tom Gallon at last and had him ready to do any thing you wanted just as the price of your silence 1 suppose it didn’t occur to you to have him deed over the ‘Mas ter Key' mine to you, did it?" “He wouldn't have done it!” he burst out furiously. “He shot me once. He would have shot me again to save the mine for the girl.” “Then what good are these papers Gradually he perceived the drift of her speech. He looked at her for a moment dumbly, as if for instruction. But she was ruthless. He must pro pose the crime himself. She handed him the papers. He stared at them and then glanced across at Jean. She was waiting. He cursed her under his breath. She had always been waiting—waiting for him to break the law, to suffer that she might have comforts and jewels and keep unimpaired that beauty that had been bis downfall. But the spell work ed. as it had worked before. “I’ll have to go out and buy some blank deeds,” be said laboriously. “I may have to look up some cither points, too, about these papers” As he left the room Jean Darnell looked after him. lazy triumph In her eyes. “Estelle,” she said languidly, “yon may dress my hair. 1 shall go to a matinee this afternoon. If Mr. Wil kerson comes, tell him I am engaged till tonight.” Life at Beverly Hills was a welcome change to Ilntli after the strenuous days that had passed since she left the “Master Key” mine. There were not many at the hotel and the most prominent figure among the guests was a tall, carefully dress ed Englishman. so typically the tourist that the old cook insisted on identify ing him on the register. “1 ain’t Been many of the new kinds of people,” he explained. "I've been ont in the mine bo many years that the styles in real gents has kind of escaped tne. 1 admire to know Inst what kind of birds I'm roosting with.” “Who is he?" toughed Itnth, as they gazed out at the rising hills. "He's marked down ns Sir Donald Farershnm. and he's from the Brit ish isles.” Tom Kane rejoined. "He is here for his health, they say. I sup pose that’s why he has to wear them white ankle warmers on Ms legs.” “Those are called spats, Tom.” said John, smiling. “That eyeglass is a monocle.” “I*oeB he see through it?" inquired Kane. with apparent anxiety. “I #.*ck oned he was near sighted, for I spoke to him a whiie ago and he didn’t even ice me." Oddly enough. Euth blushed at this. Bir Donald had seen her, and she had been made aware of it instantly; not that Sir Donald had been in the slight est offensive. lie had merely silently testified by respectful glances his ap preciation of the arrival of a very pret ty woman.

Jan20dlw SUPERIOR COURT Harry Soubek Gets 12 Months In Jail for Assault with Dan gerous Weapon with Intent to Kill Verdicts were rendered upon two cases and another case was com menced at Saturday's session of the superior court, the two cases which were completed being No. 31, State vs. Harry Soubek of Winslow for assault with a dangerous weapon with Intent to kill, in which the Jury rendered a verdict of guilty, and No. 42, State vs. Jacob Brisk and Rachel Brisk of Wa ttr\llle for larceny, in which a verdict of guilty w'as pronounced. Case No. 51, State vs. Napoleon Landry of Wa terville for common nuisance was opened near the close of the afternoon session, and will be resumed this morning. Court opened at 9.30 A. M„ when the case of State vs. Harry Soubek was resumed. M. E. Sawtelle, the attorney for the defendant, made his plea to the jury, emphasizing the fact that the motive must be considered by the jury and stating that if Soubek did not in tend to kill Tony Sport he was not guilty of the indictment. County Attorney, W. Fisher in his pica to the jury stated that Soubek might be guilty of either an assault or an assault with intent to kill. He then reviewed the testimony that had been given. Judge Beane then charged the jury and the jurors retired at lo.3u o'clock to decide upon the case, returning at 11.43 with verdict, guilty. Judge Beane late: sentenced Soubek to be imprisoned in jail at labor for a term of 12 months. The next case to be opened was that of State vs. Jacob and Rachel Brisk of Waterville for larceny. They had previously entered the plea of not guilty. F. W. Clair of Waterville was counsel for the defendants. In open ing the case County Attorney Fisher stated that Mr. and Mrs. Brisk was charged with the larceny of a promis sory note. The story runs like this. r>r. Goodrich of Waterville had a claim against the Brisks about Oct. 31, 1914 and C. W. Hussey, attorney, held the claim. Mrs. Brisk signed a promis sory note and it was understood that' Mr. Brisk would sign. But when M Brisk came to the office of Mr. Hus sey to sign the note, instead of sign ing it he handed it to his wife and told her to run and she ran off with it. The first witness was C. W. Hussey of Waterville, the attorney who held the claim. He stated the story essen tiallv as above. When Mrs. Brisk ran off with the note Mr. Hussey held Mr. Brisk, who was taken by the police to the office of the city marshal, where Mrs. Brisk came. Mr. Hussey and an officer then went out to find the note but could not find any traces of it. The value of the note was J220. Mrs. Winifred E. Welch and Miss Amy F. Kingsbury, clerks employed in the office of Mr. Hussey, then told their versions of the story which in the essentials corroborated Mr. Hus sey’s statements. The claim of the defense, as state] by Mr. Clair, was that Mrs. Brisk took the note with no intention of stealing it but rather took it from her husband and intended to take it to his i Mr Clair’s) o fice to see if the amount of the note was correct. Jacob Brisk then took the stand and testified that ho has a wife and sl» children and that they all came from Russia about 10 years ago. Dr. Good rich was employed as physician fot Mrs. Brisk. He then told of the taking of the note, stating that he merely xvished his wife to take it to Mr. lairs office to see if the amount was correct. Afternoon Session At the afternoon session on cross-ex amination by County Attorney Fisher. Mr. Brisk admitted that L>r. Goodrich had saved the life of Mrs. Brisk after ha\ ing performed three or four opera tions. He stated that Mr. Hussey cov ered up the amount of the note when he (Mr. Brisk) came to si an. Mrs Rachel Brisk then took the stand and as she could speak very little Eng lish her statements were interpreted to the court. She stated that she signed the note in the first place because she was afraid that her husband would oe put in jail if she did not. After the tak ing of the note by .Mrs. Brisk, who only intended to take it to Mr. Clair's office, a new note was given by Mr. Hussey, which both Mr. and Airs. Brisk signed. Mr. Hussey and Mrs. Welsh then testi fied that Mr. Brisk knew the amount of the note when he came to sign the note for It had been read to him and the amount was right in sight. The attorneys then pleaded to the jury, Jurge Beane charged the jury and the Jurors retired at 3.40 P. M. to decide upon the case. They returned at 4.25 I’. M. with the verdict that both Mr. and Mrs. A SAFE WAY TO STOP INDIGESTION Without Fear of Weakening the Stomach. Works Fine in Any Case and Brings Relief in Ten Minutes. The greatest folly of today is commit ted by people with weak dyspeptic stom achs who take artificial digesters to cure indigestion. Artificial digesters—pepsin pills, etc .simply encourage a lazy or tired out stomach to shirk its work bv doing most of its work for It. This is fine for a time but as every chronic dyspeptic knows, artificial digesters soon lose their effi ciency. Where one once did the trick three or four are now required and the poor old stomach itself is worse oft than ever. Your stomach must be strong enough to expand and contract with a sort of churning movement so as to mix its di gestive juices with your food. If your stomach Isn't strong enough to properly churn your food, you will keep right on having indigestion after every meal until you make it strong. There Is one Stomach remedy that every dyspeptic can depend on as surely as that the sun will rise tomorrow and that the sun will rise tomorrow and that is the famous old MI-O-XA Stomach Tablets. Most stomach remedies let the stomach rest and digest the food them selves. Mi-o-na won’t digest anything but it will strengthen and stimulate the stomach and make it do its own digest ing. It stops stomach pains, gas. bloat ’lng, burning, belching, etc., in ten min utes and does still better by making the flabby, inflamed and inactive stom ach walls grow strong and elastic and able to do their own churning. Mi-o-na tablets never lose their effect and unlike mere artificial digesters need not be used forever, a few weeks’ use is gen really sufficient to put any stomach in fine shape and Bowditch-Webster Co. and many other leading druggists here abouts sell it with that understanding, agreeing to refund money to anyone who does not get complete relief.—Adv.

The third case to be considered dur ing the day was No. 61, State vs. Napo leon Landry of WatervlUe for maintain ing a common nuisance in Watervllle for the keeping and illegal sale of intox icating liquors. To this charge he had pleaded not guilty. Fred \V. Clair of Watervllle was counsel for tne defendant, j In opening the case County Attorney j Fisher stated that Mr. Landry had been j a holder of a United States tax and that i the place was raided by deputy sheriffs from Augusta, who found a good deal of j liquor concealed in a hide in the attic, which had to be reached through a scut- j tie. Deupty Sheriffs A. R. Bucklin, Weston Lewis and Henry E. Emery testified that Dec 4, 1914, they raided the place of business of Mr. Landry in Watervllle and found there alcohol and whiskey in quite large quantities. Mr. Bucklin tes tified that he had seen Mr. Landry' name upon the records of liquor dealers j wliL/i is kept at Portsmouth, N. H.. and from these records he found that; Mr. Landry was the holder of a tax. The defence was opened by Mr. Clair, who stated that last spring a hide of Mr. Landry’s was found and after that Lan dry firmly determined to go out of the liquor business. The United States rev enue tax record was .found against Mr. Landry because the search had been made and because the conviction was hanging over him. Court was adjourned at about 5 o'clock and the case will be resumed with the opening of court at 10 o'clock this morn ing.

GREEK YOUTH AND MAID HAVE HEARING CASE IS CONTINUED On Agreement of Two to Help Girl’s Father, Which Airange ment Proves Satisfactory to Him -As a sequel to the escapade of Costa Boubalis. aped IS years and Maria Pop U upoutis, a cod It. years, y.'ho tied to Lewiston last, Tuesday on a matrimonial venture and Here bruubiht back to Au gusta Friday night by City Marshal Col. Fan, were arraigned before the munici pal court Saturday morning to answer to a warrant sworn out by the giri t father and charging wanton an,, lasciv ious behavior. Neither the hot or the girl were rep resented toy counsel and neither could speak the English language, so tlte hear ing was corn' ucted t a great extent through i he medium of interpreters, Charles Gciorpaklis of this r.-ity and Constantine Banos of Lewiston. Tin court entered a plea of not guilty tor the respondents, ft came out in the testi mony that the two went to Le wiston last T destiny and, that there had been a mar riage ceremony in that city Thursday, hut because of several facts connected therewith it could (hardly be called legal. It was learned by the court through questions asked the piri that she had been in Augusta about eight months and was employed in the Edwards miiis. that at present site was earning .per week, but would soon tv earning that her father was taking all her earn, ir.ps. As the bearing progressed the court elicited from the two an agreement on their part to help the girl's father, which agreement satisfied him, and fol lowing thn- the case was continued. it is thought that one Nicolas George of Augusta was a principal factor in the case, and w'lliie he is wanted by both the Augusta and Lewiston police depart ments he has not yet been found. The Lewiston Sun of Saturday morn ing, jun 23, in its account of thy Lewis tor. end of the case contained the fol lowing: “Eiubalis. attended by the priest, two interpreters, the Greek priest and others, came to the office of City Cierk Lemaire. Thursday, anu recorded tne marriage intentions of Bjbalis and his fiancee. Though both were residents of Augusta. City Clerk Lemaire was Informed that both lived in Lewiston. “Through the interpreters it was stated that Dubalis was 11 years of age and his bride IS City Clerk Lemaire endeavored to make it plain that the couple could not get a marriage license before the live days required bb law had elapsed, and the applicant made it known that he understood. “Friday City Clerk Lemaire learned that they had been married Thursday night by the Greek pfiest. The truth about the couple was not known until Laurence J. Colgan. chief of the Augusta police, arrived in town Friday seeking iheir whereabouts. He held a warrant sworn out by John Papalos, father of the girl, which charged wanton and lascivious behavior. "Chief Colgan explained that the cou ple. both of wham live at the Greek col ony on Sand Hill. Augusta, wished to ■>e married, but that they could not get She consent of the girl's father. Tiiere ore at the instigation of Nicolas George. Jhief Colgan learned, they left Augusta ruesday and came to this city. “The girl's father then swore out the warrant and Chief Colgan came here to serve it. It was soon found that the ouple had recorded their marriage ingen ious and later, when Deputy Chief La eunesse and Constantine Benos, a prom nent Lewiston Greek, had brougfnt the loupie and priest to police headquarters, t was learned that the priest had mar bed them Thursday night. “It was also learned that the trip to -lewiston and the wedding were arranged iy Nicolas George, with whom the offi- j :ials at Augusta have had more or less :o do. It was through him, Bay the au ihorities, that the interpreters in trans ating the city clerk's rulings mis-stated :he facts, so that the Greek priest per ormed the ceremony in good faith. “The wedding cost the couple HO, of vhich $22 was supplied by a friend and ine remainder by the groom. Of the forty iollars, the police are told, 10 goes to he church, five to the priest, seven and i half for candles and crowns, and seven ind a half to the Greek consul. Chief Joigan's theory7 is that George's commis sion was the remaining 10 dollars. “There are several facts which malic the wedding illegal. The residence and age of both the man and woman were i mis-stated, as the man is 18 and the gir! 16. The marriage was performed without i tlie necessary license, and the priest who performed it is not authorized by the Governor to perform marriages “The name of the priest, as it appears on the marriage return, is Gabrel S. j liantelus. The authorities decided not. to take any action regarding him, as they j believed that lie acted w-itli no intention t of breaking the law. He has been in i this country two years, and in Lewiston for the past two months, during which j he lias performed one other wedding cer- j emony." Funeral of Miss Abbie A. Austin The funeral sen ice of the late Miss Abbie A. Austin which was held at 9 o'clock Sunday morning, was con ducted by Rev. Matilda W. Atkinson.

DULL DAYS FOR NEWS SAY THE CAPITAL SCRIBES Maine Showing Her Interest in National Affairs Petitions Sent Senator Burleigh Against Ship Purchase Bill The Maine Gossip There. Washington. I4. C. Jan. 25.—(Special!.— The problem as to the Democratic post masters in Maine lias riot altogether been solved liver;, little while some netv step in the process of getting good men atid true into those plates is taken A batch of Civil Service examinations for February 20 has just been ordered at the request of the Post office Depart ment. These are for the following Maine |>osioffices paying salaries of $a'K! or over: PidchcorJ Pool, Cape Cottage, Christ mas Cove, Jay, Malta wamkeag, Won began, Waterboro Center, and West Farmington. The Civil Service Commission, which is non-partisan, lias had something of a struggle with the political authorities who clamor for Democrats for the offi ces The Department officials wanO Democrats high trp on the eligible list and have been Insisting that there Should be an eligible list of *vo or three at each vacant .fourth class post office, where the salary is mor than Sf.iiO a year, because then it would l>e feasible to find a Democrat in most cases to nom inate. Examinations were held throughout the country under an order, promulgat ed May 7, 1:03, and “it is found that there are a number of offices for which no eligiblcs were secured. For such of these Offices, us have a compensation of c.s much as J500 per annum u second ex amination has been oi .lered by a recent executive order and the examinations will be held in different stales" at var ious dates. This means examinations, like those in Maine, in New Hampshire, Vermont ami indeed in all the New Eng land states. Maine is waking up quite a bit on the shipping bib that Democrats are press ing in the Senate. A good many people up there have been sending telegrams to Washington, asking that the bill be not passed. Senator Burleigh and also other members of the Maine delegation in Congress, have been receiving these telegrams by the score. They have been presented in the Senate and allowed to lie on the table, as the shipping bill has been reported out of the Commerce Com mittee. The city government of Batii, Maine, thas sent here resolutions in favor of the Haniili bill, granting pen sions to retired civil service employes. A great deal of proselyting in behalf of this legislation has apparently been don* in Maine, judging from the petitions that come here for it from unexpected places and organizations This has been a very dull news winter at Washington but Maim people appear to be following transactions at the na tional capital. Senator Burieigh so in fers from the 'stacks of daily mail that come to him from his constituents back in the home State These bring to him a variety of matters and he devotes a lot of his time to looking aifier these interests of Maine people, as he has a wa>'6 done since he entered public life at Washington Recently a request was made of him in behalf of Albert J. Johnson of Bel fast, Maine, a private in the Marine Corps, who is now Ptationed at the bar racKS at Bremerton, Washington state. Johnson has a business opportunity in Cuba that he wishes to accept. The navy authorities grant requests for the discharge of enlisted men reluctantly and Senator Burleigh found obstacles in the way of his request in behalf of John son. However, tie man's record was good and Senator Burleigh ultimately obtained the department's assent. Senator Burleigh has recently been doing a lot of work ion the claims committee of the Senate. One can probably do more work on this com mittee than on any other of the Sen ate, if he wishes to perform his duty conscientiously. There are thou sands of pending claims before this committee, some of which are meri torious and some of which are de cidedly otherwise. Senator Burleigh has just reported four claim bills fa vorably to the Senate. The junior Maine Senator is still in receipt of many prohibition petitions from his State. Within the last few days he has presented requests for a constitutional amendment from citi zens of Westbrook. Perry. Washburn, Week’s Mills and other Maine towns. The Senator has also presented a pe tion from Frontier Loyal Orange Lodge. No. 216, of Vanceboro, Maine, praying for further restriction of im migration. which was ordered to lie upon the table. Men of some prominence from Maine have been numerously at ■Washington of late. Col. Frederick Hale of Portland. Republican Na tional committeeman, has been here but came chiefly to visit his parents. ex-Senator and Mrs. Eugene Hal*-, who make their home at Washington winters. Prol. Henry C. Emery of Yale University, who resides at Elis worth, Maine, with his parents a part of every year and who served as head of the tariff board till a Demo cratic Congress refused to continue tt longer, has likewise been at Washing ton. Another Republican politician from the Pine Tree State, Hon. Fred W. Bunker of North Anson, a former member of the Legislature and also of the Governor’s council, tarried here for a season on the way to California. He and Mrs. Bunker are on their honeymoon. Senator Burleigh and Representative Hinds both enter tained these visitors and escorted them about the Capitol, as they did Mr. and Mrs. Robert R. Jordan of Prout's Neck, Scarboro. who were likewise here on a wedding trip. Mr. Jordan is a business man well known in that section of Maine. Gen. Joseph S. Smith of Bangor, formerly member of the board of managers for the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, has come to Washington for an extended visit. He is greatly interested in the branch home at Togus. Maine, having been active in behalf of the veterans there for a number of years. Gen. Smith is I mentioned as governor of the Togus Home, in case the present encumbent is displaced as reports have had it he would be. President Wilson has re cently nominated again Maj. Herbert M. Lord, quartermasters corps, to be a lieutenant colonel from March 4, If 13. vice Lieut. Col. Beecher B. Ray, ■u hose recess appointment expired by constitutional limitation March 3. j liHS. Maj. Lord is frem Rockland. I Maine, and served a number of years as clerk of the ways and means com mittee of the House, when the late Representative Nelson Dinghy of Lewiston was chairman. There have been complications over his promo tion, because of the fight against Maj. Ray. just ahead of Maj. Lord on the quartermaster roster. Maj. Ray's j case attained national prominence, no having been accused of political ac tivity at the behest of Taft’s cam paign managers. The fight was car ried to the Senate, where Ray’s oppo nents were able to prevent his con firmation for promotion.

The matter oi dues was discussed anil it was voted to reduce the fee from S" to $1 and to make an active campaign for new members. President Coombs suggested that one of the first things for the board of managers to consider should be a big banquet which will serve to en thuse the people and arouse a new inter- est in the board At the banquet an out of-town speaker of interest and a "boom Belfast" spirit to be the prevailing mo- I tive. The past year, although the member ship has been small, has been a fruitful one. One of the things done was the putting on of a steamer to run down through the "reach” and which was the means of bringing much business to the city For this S6*:kbert F.

Pinkham for 2315, the amount the defendant is alleged to have agreed to pay for the use of six horses for three months. The rescript follows: Androscoggin County, Jonas Edvards Son vs. James H Pinkham. On report This is an action of assumpsit on the following account annexed: •James H. Pinkham to Jonas Edvards Son, to use of three teams of horses, and har nesses. with same at 235 tier month per team, from January 17, 1S13, to April 17, 1912, 121-5.” The plea was the general issue. The defense goes to the liability and not to the amount claimed. The case turns upon the construction of the following instrument. "Mr. James Pinkham, Win throp. Ale.., Pear Sir: As assignee of Charles Davis we herewith advise you that during the time the six horses on which we have a claim are working on the Davis operation we shall ho.d you responsible for the earnings of said horses for not less than $35 each month from January 17, ISIS (.per team) and with the understanding we put you in absolute control of said teams as our agent. "J. L Pearson. Jonas Edwards” The contention of the plaintiff is that under this instrument the defendant is personally liable for the use of the horses, the contention of the defendant that he Is liable only us an aes.gnee. This instrument construed in the light of the above rule uiid the positive testi mony of two witnesses that it was a clear understanding that plaintiff was personally to pay 225 a month, although denied by the defendant, creates a pre ponderance in favor of the plaintiffs' contention sufficient to enable them to sustain their action.

MERCHANTS’ REPORTS SHOWING IMPROVEMENT OF THE BUSINESS CONDITIONS IN SOUTHERN STATES Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 24.—Notable im provement in business conditions in the South within the last few weeks is indi cated in reports from merchants, cotton factors and bankers from all over that section. The last month in particular, business men assert, has developed the recuperative power of the cotton states. Cotton, selling a few months ago for a i little more than six cents a pound, now is finding comparatively ready market at about eight cents. Since the government report of Nov. 1 the increase of two cents a pound in the selling price of cotton, with the cor responding advance in the price of cotton seed, according to estimate of exports has resulted in a net increase of ap proximately $120,000,000 in the cash value of cotton. The effect, it is stated, has been felt in every line of business in the South. Conservative observers say that no where has there been such a holding movement in the South as that noted since the opening of the present cotton season. At the outbreak of the Euro pean war fall deliveries of cotton ranged from 12 to 12 cents a pound, which with a crop estimated at more than 16,000,003 bales forecast a season of remarkable ac tivity. With the European markets sud denly closed and the exchanges suspend ed, the prices abruptly declined about one-half. When the mills entered the market for their fall supply they found the market closed. Farmers refused to sell and southern business, which depends so largely upon moving of the cotton crop, marked time awaiting readjustment. About Dec. 1 improvement began, ow ing, it is said, to resumption of foreign shipping and adjustment ana reopening of exchanges. Today the movement of cotton from farm to market is steadily progressing and as a result, according to reliable reports, the farmers are pay ing their debts to the merchants, the merchants are meeting their obligations to the small banks and they in turn are settling with the larger banks. The general business tone is declared opti mistic. In a statistical statement H. G. Hes ter, secretary of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange, mentions that 'on Xov. l last the federal department of agriculture fig ured the average price of cotton to pro ducer about £11.50 per bale, while today it Is about $10 more. PREDICTS RAILROADS WILL BE OWNED BY THE GOVERNMENT New York, Jan. ”4.—Government ownership and operation of the rail roads of the I'nited States are inevi table, in the opinion of Representative James \V. Bryan of Washington, who spoke on this topic at the Republican Club Saturday. Eventually the democ racy' of the people and the aristocracy osed to any amendment to the aniti nilen land act passed ly the ltd:! Legis lature. He indicated that if the Shartel bill, introduced in the Assembly yes- i terday, eliminating the three-vear leas, j ing clause, passed the Legislature, it would be vetoed. The elimination of the three-year leas- I ing clause is sought by labor organiza- I tions generally throughtout the state. Jf adopted It would have the effecy of prohibiting Japanese ar.d other alien I formers from leasing land whioh they itre prohibited from purchasing. Gov. Johnson issued the following statement. “Two years ago the legislature passed an anti-alien land bill with a clause (permitting leasing for a period of three years. For many years various anti alien land bills had been presented to tiie legislature, and all of them, with, out exception, permitted leasing for a longer period than three years. “What transpired at the last session of the Legislature, when the anti-.ilien •land bill was before us, is fresh in the j memories of all Californians. All will readily recall the attacks made upon us then: ho?.' it was vehemently as serted that, our action save offense to a friendly nation and assaulted its dig nity: that eontumeliously we were at tacking and endeavoring to destroy a treaty of our nation, and 1inw the di rect prophecies were made for the fu ture. "The California Legislature, proceeded on its way, and without giving just cause of offence, without assaulting the dignity of any people, and despite ar. opposition such as never before had been presented in any state Legislature, j enacted a statue clearly within our j right, which embodied our nation's treaty and upheld tin? rights and the dignity of the people of the state of California. "This year there is no occasion for j further action. Xo valid reason exists j why our alien land bill, pdssed with so much difficulty two years ago, should i again be presented in the Legislature •for amendment, and there are many reasons why it should not. It is my hope—and to this end, so far as con_ sistently I can, I snail lend my aid— 1 that the existing law be not disturbed." PRESIDENT HUSTIS DENIES THE D, M. R. RD. OVER-CAPITALIZED Boston. Jan. 24.—President James H. Hustis of the Boston Maine has filed with the Ihibllc Service Commission a statement in answer to charges relative to the management of the railroad made at the rate, hearing on Jan. 6 last by Ralph S. Baiter of Lynn, representing the Kssex County Boards of Trade. The statement follows: "Statement No. 1—That the railroad company is grossly overcapitalized be yond the amount warranted by a sound physical valuation of its property. An swer—The public service commission is in possession of complete facts as to the capitalization of the Boston Maine. The commission is familiar also with the progress of the work of physical valua tion which is now .being carried on un der the direction of the interstate com merce commission. The management be lives that the results will show a valua tion largely in excess of the capitaliza tion of the combined properties. "Statement No. 2—That the railroad has not divested Itself of property not use ful for its legitimate purposes. Answer 1 —The Boston Maine is ready to dispose of property which is not likely to be needed for railroad purposes whenever suitable and bona fide offers are made. Regarding Privileges "Statement No. 3—That the Boston i Maine does not handle its privileges in j a prudent or businesslike way. Answer— Aa existing contracts for privileges ex- j fire It Is the aim of the management to make such new contracts as will best conserve the company's interests. "The Armstrong News Co. contract, ,which Is specifically mentioned, was Renewed on June 1 last, and carries with it substantial increases in pay ments for the privileges which were 1 given under the former contract, and in addition a reasonable rental for jfurther privileges in the North station >at Boston. "Statement No. 4—That coal in tended for railroad use is routed via the Pennsylvania and New Haven roads Instead of via water and that advantage is not take of the lower freight rates by boat. Answer—This 'Statement is incorrect in substance and In detail. As a matter of fact, no iBoston Maine coal moves via the (Pennsylvania or New Haven roads. Of the total coal consumed, amounting to 1,600.000 tons last year, 63 per cent. came to Boston and Portsmouth by water and was distributed fro use on the eastern section of the road. The remaining 3 per cent, came by rail via 1 Rotterdam Junction or Mechanicsville and was used on the western or north- ern sections. In determining whether water-borne or rail-borne coal is to be used at any given point, the ultimate cost including freight, is the determin- i ing factor. 1 Defends Express System "Statement Xo. 5—That the Amer- I ican Express contract is not prudent j or business-like. Answer—The man- j agement believes that the contract rp- cently entered into with the American Express Co. is a fair and proper one "Statement No. 6—That the railroad does not know how much it costs to 1 transport passengers. Answer—The ac- j counts and statistics of the Boston Maine are strictly in accordance with j the requirements of the interstate com- merce commission and with the account- j ing practices of the standard railroads. I As stated by the chairman of the public service commission at the recent hear- 1 ing, this system of accounts does not provide for any allocation cf expenses I between freight and passenger service, j and it is doubtful if any railroad can ever do more than roughly approximate such costs. "Statement Xo. 7—That the I.*ntt»d States government is not paying the railroads a proper and fair return for the transportation of mail matter. An swer—The management is in accord with this statement." To Hold Hearing Gov. Walsh said Saturday he did not I expect to submit to the Legislature the j plan for the reorganization of the Bos- ton Maine Railroad being formulated by the trustees of the railroad. He ex- I plained that the legislative committee on railroads will hold a hearing on the mes- sage which the governor sent to the Legislature Friday urging immediate and careful attention to the rocommendations of the trustees. The trustees, the governor said, will present their reorganization plan to the committee at this hearing, the date for which has not been assigned. FUNERAL OF THE ROOSEVELT STRIKE VICTIMS IS HELD Roosevelt, X. J., Jan. 24.—Patrick F. Gill and Daniel T. O'Regan, investi gators for the federal commission on industrial relations, who have been as signed to the strike situation here, re turned to Xew York Saturday to con sult Chairman Frank P. Walsh. Be fore leaving Roosevelt, Mr. Gill said that they had seen officials of the American Agricultural Chemical Co. and that Saturday they had no trouble in gaining admittance to the plant.

The chairs were removed and all those present stood during the half-hour service. The coffins were covered with flow ers, a large wreath of red roses with a ribbon inscribed "sacrificed to the gunmen of capitalism." being conspic uous. Officials of the union made short addresses, during which the dead men were termed "the martyrs of an awakening that will result in the driv ing of gunmen from the state of Xew Jersey.” The men at the meeting were ad monished to maintain peaceful meas ures in the conduct of the strike. Two hearses bearing the bodies wer? followed to the cemetery three mile.'* distant by several hundred men, wo men and children marching, through mud and rain, the funeral cortege be ing headed hv a band. All along the line of march through Chrome and Carteret, respective sections of Roose velt burough, business houses were closed and blinds were drawn as the funeral passed. Rate today police officers, accom panied by representatives of the prose cutor's office, visited the Williams Clark plant and seized a number of guns said to have been used by the guards in the firing on Tuesday. These guns, together with empty shotgun and revolver shells, picked up on the ground where the shooting occurred, will be used as evidence against the accused men. It was reported hero tonight, but not confirmed, that 17 of the men arrested had bi\n identified as alleged gunmen from Xew York; also that one of their number has agreed to turn state's evidence. DEPUTIES TO FACE GRAND JURY PROBE Now Brunswick, N. J„ Jan. 24—The grand jury was notified by the prose cutor to reassemble in extraordinary session here next Tuesday to consider the charges against the 22 deputies ar rested Friday night at the fertilizer works in Roosevelt, where 19 strikers were shot last Tuesday, two dying of their injuries.

WOUNDED BRIDE REFUSES TO SAY HUSBAND SHOT HER Boston, Jan. 24—Refusing to maks any statements that would incrimin ate her husband, Mrs. Edna E. Mar shall, 20-vear-old bride of Edward C. Marshall, a salesman, living at 15 Bickerstaff street, maintained at the City Hospital Saturday night that the bullet wound in her side was a purely accidental injury, which she received in her apartments Saturday morning about 22:30 o’clock, when she fired t'vo shots from the revolver out of a win dow. Marshall was held in $5000 bail in the Roxbury court yesterday on the charge of assault and battery and as this was not furnished he was sent to the Charles street jail, to await a hearing Jan. 26. Marshall, who himself is only 23, seemed, in fact, much more upset than the wounded woman. He cried bitterly for hours in his cell in the Charles street jail, over “having hurt her.” He maintains she was shot accidental ly during a quarrel. He is held in $5000 bonds. He is charged with attempted murder. A hole in the door of the apartment bathroom just the height of Mrs. Mar shall’s wound, and the finding a blood stained woman’s combination, from which evident attempts had been made to wash the telltale marks, confirm the police in the explanation of the shooting. Indeed Mrs. Marshall, in an un guarded moment, is 3aid to have ad mitted she was shot through the bath' room door, but to have declared it was accidental.

Jan. 24.—When, tlie Senate convenes tomorrow, the government ship purchase bill as amended by the Demo, cratic caucus Saturday wiN be before the body as a party measure wjiieh more than two-thirds of the majority members voted should be given unanimous sup port. For several weeks, the Democratic leaders ha\ e been letting the Republi cans assail the bill in repeated speeches without themselves taking part in the discussion. Meanwhile, the majority members had been earnestly striving to compose their own differences and this was achieved insofar as it was possible Saturday. The shipping bill as amended will now be passed with all the vigor at our command," declared Majority Leader Kern today. "We do not want to threat en anyboddy and wish to permit free and fail discussion. Republican senators in sist that they have not been filibuster ing against the biil and they will be given plenty of opportunity to express their views, but, dependent of course on the nature of the debate in the future, it may be necessary later to hold night sessions and possibly continuous ses. sions. It is our purpose to pass the bill and in my judgment, it will be passed before many weeks.” Republican leaders do not like the bill as amended any better than they did the original measure, although some of the Progressive-Republicans are inclined to look with more favor on it than to, merly. Senator Root has serve.) notice that he would address the Senate on the bill. While the Senate fight continues, the House will keep at work on appropria tion bills. “There is no division in the Democrat ic ranks," asserted Senator Owen after the caucus. “Every Democrat present agreed to support the bill, and it will henceforth be before the Senate as a party measure.” The principal difference of opinion in caucus arose on Senator Hoke Smith's proposal that with the restoration of normal conditions at the end of the Eu ropean war the government lease ships purchased to private corporations for op eration, instead of operating them through a government controlled corpor ation. This amendment was defeated after prolonged debate. Senator Kern announced that two thirds of the Democrats had voted to make the bill a party measure. Several Democrats, however, were not present. Among those absent were Senators Var danian, Hardwick, Camden and O'Gor man. Some of their colleagues said, however, that they believed these sena tors, with possibly one exception, would vote for the bill. Hitchcock Wants Amendments Senator Hitdheock, who attended the caucus but was not present when the binding resolution was adopted, said he hoped to have an opportunity to vote ful some amendments to the bill in the Sen ate. As perfected in cucus the bill provides for a shipping board to consist of the secretary of the treasury, the secre tary of commerce and three civilians to be appointed by the President with the consent of the Senate. This amend ment was a compromise with a pro posal submitted by Senator Bankhead in the original bill the shipping board to control affairs of the proposed cor. poration would have consisted of the sec retaries of treasury and commerce and the postmaster-general with no civil ians. Through tins amendment Democratic leaders h«te to win the support of Progressive-Republicans, such as Senator La Follette, Kenyon, and Norris, and Senator Poindexter, Progressive. The onlyi other amendment to the original hill of a material nature was one of Columbia and another to provide that the original capital stock of $10, 000,000 can be increased at any time only to the extent of $10,000,000 more. FEDERAL LEAGUE WILL INVADE THIS STATE WITH A NINE Portland, Me., Jan. M.—Late last even.

Moreover, a former New England League manager will nave harge of the 1 team here and it is practically certain that the team will be at Pine Tree 1 Park.

On their own part, the Fetlerals have been working through a different channel and, as mentioned at the start of this story, 1 negotiations have proceeded so far that an ofer of tne team's management to to a former New England League man ager has already been made. It will cost a tidy sum to fix up the Pine Tree grounds suitable for the class of baseball the Federals will have here—and they declare that the class of baseball will be better than we have 1 been getting in the New England League. “Just how the fans of Portland will take to two teams as far as supporting both be concerned must he tried to be prov en," said a man high in baseball circles I last night. “And, if only one of the clubs is to be supported, we must wait and see whehter the fans will stick by’ Duffy or go over to the Pine Tree Park I and see better ball—providing, of course, j the Federals live up to their promise to give us something faster than we j have' been getting.” DEERING WINS IN NAT’L RIFLE SHOOT Washington, Jan. 24 —The results of the second week's rifle matches for the Unit ed States championship in the High School League made public Saturday, follow: Class A—Deering, Portland, Me., 954, vs. Tech., Washington, D.

Gar diner, editor of the Daily News, con tributes a special article to his paper Saturday, dealing with the Dacia case. In it he contends that America’s sym pathy with the allies has been over whelming and emphatic, but it must be recognized that there is a large population in America hostile to tho allies, and therefore the question re quires handling with the greatest dis cretion. In the article Mr. Gardiner saj-s: Pat America on Back "Some of us have never quite got out of the habit of regarding the United States as a British colony which has lost the grace of obedience. If it agrees with us we pat its back paternally: If it disagrees we are shocked at its lack of filial piety. "People who think in this way, head ed by the poet who lias demanded that America should join the allies or suf fer immortal shame, do not represent Great Britain, but they may c-asily misrepresent it and do incalculable mischief. They may lose us that sym pathy which means so much and which Germany v»ould give anything to gain.” Faith in Wilson Mr. Gardiner thinks there is much to be said in favor of the transfer of in terned ships to neutral powers, under conditions which would make it im possible that Germany could benefit by the operation: and as a matter of fact Germany would lose thereby, becaq she would bo helping to feed the t lies. ‘•Whatever is the outcome of then cident, however. Sir. Gardiner c«t eludes, "our main duty is to keep os temper and avoid a nagging and ces serious attitude towards the Unite States. If President Wilson is avojj ins any open part in the popular f«i ing, that is his duty; hut ..I have profound faith in hs w isdom and com profound faith in his wisdom and cou: right time." Deprecates War Talk The Daily Chronicle, in an editorj printed today deprecates the exaggtr sited tone of the Spectator’s ratln alarmist strticle in Dacia controvert which, however, the Chronicle finds a the more significant as appearing ii journal usually calm in judgment at noted for its friendliness toward U United States. The Daily Chronicle adds that m doubtedly there has been some dis appointment in England at the atti tude of America, hut that the relation between London and Washington a; exceedingly cordial and "we predlc that they will bear w ith case even th strain of an incident like the seizureo the Dacia.” "Meanwhile.” the Chronicle con dudes, "to talk even of the posslbfilt of war between England and Amerto is to use language in excess of ti needs of the situation." BRITISH AVIATORS ATTACK CITY AND DAMAGE GERMAN VESSELS London, Jan. 24.—While German air men Friday morning were dropping l>omb.s in Dunkirk, one of which damaged the American consulate, two British aviators paid a visit to Zee brugge and succeeded in damaging a submarine and killing or wounding the crews of the guns mounted on them to prevent attacks from the sea on that new German base. The British official report issued Saturday night says that apart from the breaking of the windows anu the smashing of the furniture of the American consulate, no particular damage was done. It makes no refer ence whatever to tlje Baris report that six persons were killed and a number of others wounded at Dun kirk, and it is therefore not known whether this report covers completely the attack of the German airmen, who, according to unofficial dispatches, dropped as many as SO bombs on the French port. Escapes Seven Airmen One of the British aviators was Squadron Commander It. K. Davis, who recently made a night flight over Bruges, dropping bombs on th' other end of the Capitol and constant ly refusing to lister, to advice from Democratic members of this House, unless (hey agree to do what he wants, I ask you gentlemen whether you think he is following the pledge of the Democratic convention in respect to the principle of one term. "He has it within his power to keep one plank of the platform safely at least. Will he do it? He has repudiat°l another plank. You have refused i* carry out another piank. Will the Pres ident. having accepted an election and a nomination on the principle of one term, keep even one plank in the Dem ocratic platform?” Air. Mann said that he called atten tion to the Baltimore platform ”in good humor, because it is almost an offence in this House nowadays to refer to the last Democratic platform, i "Just before the Baltimore con# tion,” Mr. Mann added, "Repr selfc tive Clayton, now a judge in Ala|aB> introduced and had reported favol* bly from the committee on judiciary1 joint resolution proposing an ament ment to the federal constitution,® provided that no person who has M* the oflice of President shall be eled’ ed to that office or hold office aglfr This resolution had just been repoP’ ed into the House. It was reported June 33. The Democratic platform erected within a month after till time, containing a plank favoring single Presidential term. “1 might refer to other i>lank* the Democratic platform, not one which do they pretend to keep, bjj here is a plank where they pledge the candidate to the principle of term for President, it is true that tW Democrats abandoned the resolutW of Judge Clayton for one term, W the abandonment of that by House Democrats does not excuse President who was pledged to p principle upon a platform which ‘Our platform is one the prindpl® which we believe to be essential our national welfare, our pledges I® made, to be kes>t, when in office S well as relied upon during the 3>aign.” LEVINSKY-SM1TH FI6HT1$ PDSTPOIIB New Orleans, Jan. 24.—An intended f round match here today Detween ‘G®| boat” Smith and "Battling” Levin*" heavyweights, was indefinitely post®*** because of weather condition*.
