Our batteries suffered no dam ages.” ANNULS N.D.COAL RATELAW Supreme Court Decides Case Concerning: Railroads Washington, March S.—The supreme court today laid down the principle that it is beyond the power of the1 states to require a railroad to carry one commodity or class of tratiic at j u loss or only nominal profit, even j though an adequate profit is obtained from its business as a whole, within 1 the state. North Dakota Involved I'nder this principle, the court an- j nulled the North Dakota lignite coal, rate law as to the Northern Pacific j and the Minneapolis, St. Paul Sault 1 Ste Marie Uuilroads and the West Virginia 2-cent passenger rate lau as to the Norfolk Western. Justice] Hughes announced the decisions. Jus-] tice Putney alone dissented. In arriving at Us general conclusion, the court held that when a state se- i lects one commodity or class of traf- j he for regulation, it must apportion to it a proper part of all general ex pense's and then allow substantial compensation. “The state cannot estimate the cost of carrying coal,” said Justice Hughes in the North Dakota case, “by throw- ing the expense incident to the main tenance of the road bed and the gener- j al expenses, upon ihe carrying of; wneat; or the cost of carrying wheat I by throwing the burden of the upkeep of the property upon coal and other commodities.” West Virginia In the West Virginia case lie said: “It would appear to be outside the1 field of reasonable adjustment that the state should demand the carriage of passengers at a rale so low that it could be justified only by placing upon shippers of goods a burden of exces sive charges in order to supply an ad equate return for the entire service.” Furthermore, the justice declared, sue t action could not be justified as a "declaration of public policy” to de velop an infant industry or to make one community independent of anoth er. The couri left undetermined the ex act elements to be considered in fixing a value for railroad property for rate-making purposes, accepting the findings of the states in each case as showing substantial compensation had not been allowed for tho service em braced within their laws. Washington. March 8.—Trade be tween the United States and the Phil ippine islands has been virtually par alyzed by lack of ships to handle the commerce since the European war be gan. This situation was revealed to day in a letter from Secretary of Com merce Kedfleld to Secretary Garrison of the war department to which Gov. General Harrison had appealed for re lief for the island shippers. The let ter adds: •'Mo long as there is no law giving us any power tyver any shipping, the gov ernment is powerless in the matter. Private and corporate interests are in control of the situation and we can do nothing.” Secretary Redfield said he had in 1 vestigated the request of Mr. Harrison that naval colliers be used to trans port the goods to the United States, but found there was no power under existing laws to utilize the ships for such a purpose. j FAIR Washington, March S.—Forecast for Poston and vicinity: Fair Tuesday and Wednesday: not much change in tem perature; moderate winds, generally westerly.

March 8.—A good part of the population of this town was searching Sunday afternoon for a "Jack the Snipper” who deprived Gladys Rid ley. a pretty 13-year-old girl, of 12 inches of her back hair on the public highway Sunday morning. Miss Ridiey's dark brown hair has been regarded as the most beautiful ex hibit of its kind in Spring-vale. It hung in luxuriant curls below her waist, being 24 inches long. She is a daugh- of Bert H. Ridley. At &.30 A. M. Sunday while on her way to the village to buy a Sunday Globe, she was attacked from behind just after she had crossed the foot bridge below the Sears-Roebuck shoe factor}’, and before she knew exactly what was happening her assailant had cut off 10 or 12 inches of her hair. When she screamed he ran across the foot bridge and escaped. In his haste he dropped a pair of large shears With which he did the clipping, as well as one of the girl's curls about seven inches long. The only description Miss Ridley can give of the man. is that he was about 5 feet 10 inches in height, had a smooth face, was dressed rough'.y and had a dark blue coat. She thinks he was a Greek. News of the young woman's adven- 1 ture has created much consternation here, as many of the girls habitually wear their hair flowing down their backs. This is the first affair of the sort that has ever happened here. TOWN ELECTIONS LIVERMORE—Selectmen, C. Ff K&aa-J ders. J. Linr.ett, C. F. Edgecomb' town clerk, H. C. Ayer; treasurer. R.

Knight, on the Buxton road, Westbrook. Neith er had time to put on clothing, and one’s hair was singed from his head. The loss on the buildings was $8000, partially covered by insurance.

Let the Kiddies Hare Plenty of Florida Orates and Grapefruit The juice of tree-ripened Florida citrus fruits is both food and drink for grow ing children. It can be given freely, even to very young boys and girls. The _ juice of Florida oranges and grapefruit will refresh the child when lesson-weary without endangering the digestion. Grown in the life-giving sun of the semi-tropics, tempered by the gentle winds of the Gulf, filled almost to bursting by the summer showers which come just at the right time, covered in the morning by jeweled dew drops and mellowed in the evening by the golden light of many harvest moons—Florida oranges and grapefruit are food and drink fit for all people. Mtifa jM after mlFMt No country in the world can produce oranges so spicy, so sweet, so juicy, so fragrant, so strength-giving as Florida. No other country can grow such grapefruit, with its texture of pulp and rind, its richness of flavor, its delicious juice. No other country nas the climate—that is why: Florida seems to have been ordained by Providence as ^_ the natural home of citrus fruits. Ponce de Leon brought them from over the seas four centuries ago, thereby leaving behind a rich heritage to the American people. Oranyaa and pspafrait an batb foad and drink.

A is Nourishment—not Alcohol. IM-74 The Goodrich Tire,! like the trained I athlete is all brawn! and muscle—no fat I i. THE old Olympic Game promoters were great for what we call ‘'form." Symmetry, proportion, soundness and proper balance cut-bid bulging muscles for favor—yes, and out-won, too, just as they will today. Mere bulk never' was synonymous with endurance—and the truth of this statement drives home with a bang, when. you apply it to tires. v r* thick, heavy tires were the last word in tire construction, we could wipe out of existence a Goodrich Research and Test Department employing seventy people. We would take off the road a battalion of ten automobiles, that run twenty-four hours a day and every day in the year, grinding tires of all makes to pieces, just for the sake of information to us and eventual economy to the USer of Goodrich Tires. There is where we learn to cut out of a tire the material which gets the user nothing. Of course, when we stripped tire price lists of their padding—fictitious values—we expected rivals to say we had stripped our tires. r* was their only “come-back."

THE Goodrich Tire, like the trained athlete, is all brawn and muscle—no fat. It represents an achievement— the ability to cut out the extra costs of inanjj. fecture, the extra costs of labor, of extra, needier material, and to give you the best, long-mileage high-standard tire in the world. There are padded tires as well as padded price lists. Don’t pay for padding. Now don't forget this—we are talking in the main about Goodrich Safety Tread Tires, for they represent ninety per cent of cur factory output for resale. Furthermore, while we have put the part, ded prices on smooth tread tires on the run, the evil cf padded prices cn non-skid tires still is ia evidence, as shown in tnb.e below: THE B. F.

WATERVILLE LOCAL NEWS. JOURNAL TELEPHONE 236-Y. OFFICE, ROOM 214 8AVINQE BANK BUILDING. MAIN STREET CITY GOVERNMENT FOR WATERVILLE IS INAUGURATED In the presence of several hundred people, the new city government was inaugurated, Monday morning. The ceremonies were simple, but yet im pressive. It has been six years since the Republicans have held a majority in both divisions of the government, and the seating of the new members was attended" with little less interest than marked the recent election. Long before the appointed hour, ten o’ clock, the corridors were crowded with men, new officials, and the retiring officers, as well as the usual crowd of spectators. Soon after their ar rival the Republicans went Into cau cus in the mayor's office. It was some few minutes after ten o'clock before they came into the rooms, and at just exactly 10:23, L. E. Hilliard, the retir ing mayor called the upper board to order. The first motion was the appoint ment by the chair of a committee on credentials. Aldermen Austin, Spauld ing and Daviau were appointed and reported favorably on all seven wards. This was followed by a motion for j joint session. The chair was moved to j appoint a committee of two to wait i on, and escort the mayor-elect to the chair. Alderman Austin and Council man Stewart composed the commit tee. As he entered the room, Mr. Bartlett was greeted with a round of applause that was lasting and expres i sive of the good will of the people j and the members of the two bodies. City Clerk Mark Bartiett then ad- j ministered the oath of office after Mayor Hilliard had cordially shaker, hands with his successor and tendered him the chair. The joint convention was then dissolved Alderman Spauld- ing then nominated Frank H. Austin for chairman of the board of alder- man, a nomination that was quickly seconded and voted on by all members of the upper board. Returning to n j Joint convention again, after the coun- I ell had organized with Fred M. Rose s president and Guy W. Ferry as sec- i retary, Mayor Bartlett read his inaug- j Ural address, which was as follows: Inaugural Address of Mayor Bartlett To tl'.e Members of the City Council: tVe meet here today to enter upon the work of the government of this city to which we have beer, elected. It is cus tomary at this time for the mayor to call your special attention to matters pertain ing to the city and to make such recom mendations to you as may seem to him proper. In this. I shall be very brief. Our first concern is to elect and ap point to the subordinate positions of the city such men as will be best fitted for the offices, having in mind that we shall be judged by the men who represent us. ,1 fe^J sure that you ail fully realize this and will select wisely. The finances of our city must be care fully guarded. The debt has increase! greatly duripg the past few years and there appears tome uncertainty as to just what the financial standing Is. m I believe it is our duty to take imme diate action to learn the exact standing and I so recommend to you. It is of the utmoBt Importance that we know fully in regard to thlB at the beginning, end I hope you will arrange for some auditor to make as early examination as possible and report to you. The present method of keeping the va rious accounts of the city should be changed so as to be readily understand able to all our people and such auditor I should take up this work also so that in the future the city reports shall be clear and In such form as can be readily un derstood by all. I would also recommend that your com mittee on accounts fix a*date for their meeting in advance of the monthly city meeting and make it a rule that all bills i be presented before the meeting of that committee! in order to be placed on the monthly roll of accounts to the end that j all bills may be properly audited. Also that the city treasurer be instructed that no bills are to be paid by him In advance i nor. until regularly passed on roll of ac-! counts, excepting city payroll accounts. Until we know definitely just what this statement is. It is Impossible for me to j make any definite recommendations as j to future expenditure, nor can we decide what Is proper to consider in the way of improvements. When this is completed, j I shall doubtless have some recommenda-; tions to make to you. I would recommend to you also that in making up your rolls or accounts you separate all bills of this year from those of previous years so that at the end of the year the people may know exactly the amount that this year’s government is accountable for. The repairs on the new High school are about to be undertaken. The committee which had this In charge was composed of men from these branches whose term of office has expired. I am Informed that within a few days they have arranged, or entered Into a contract for this work the nature of which I have no knowledge of. Yon should elect today a new com mittee to co-operate with such commit tee as the board of education may des ignate. Investigate immediately this con tract and see that what is done and the manner of doing it is such as is for the beat interests of ths city. You will soon have to take up again the licensing of public carriages and in connection with this I would recommend that you consider the advisability of a regular schedule of charges and also the nature and condition of the vehicle and equipment in a similar way to which these matters are handled In other cities. Later I shall doubtless have further suggestions to make concerning other matters. Our work Is now before us and, to ac complish the best, we must from today drop our political dlfferencts and work together and in harmony for the best interests of the city and all our people In a progressive, economical and business like way. I will co-operate with you in every way possible. CITY OFFICIALS IN WATERVILLE City Clerk J. A. Leteineau Treasurer and Collector of Taxes Sanger X. Annis Assessor of Taxes E. D.

Augusta “Coma* Back” Lmper.al Kennebec is swinging back to r.er ott.. The good example set by Waterville on March 1 was fo±.owe-d by a,; g~*r A on March s. A Republican mayor, Hon. Biain* S. files, was elect ed, v, nh a Republican city government. Xt is a continuation of the sentiment to which we called attention last fail I ani repeated iaet week. Tie effect of democratic inefficiency in national af- fairs is felt in the elections of email cities far from Washington. Again, the business interests of this city seemed to have decided that the time had arrived for a change. It was r.ot a titter partisan feeling. nor could any other Democratic candidate have v. on against Mr. files and me young bis:ness men nominated with him. So far as we have heard the Democratic candidates are net deeply disappoir.t ed they are taking defeat in a sports- mar.l.ke manner. We hoped the best man for tie city's interests would win, and we believe he has won. Bangor elected a Democratic mayor and a Republican city government. In Belfast and Brewer Republicans were elected without contest, and in B.dde ferd there was r.o opposition to the Democratic ticket. In Augusta, Republican* have an c portunity, and w e predict that they v.:i .make good.” We believe Mr. files will carry out his plan of “piti less publicity'' on a new system cf handling and opening up to the pub lic, the city's affairs. The people have turned to the Republican party and the young men whom they find allied with that organization. They musi not be disappointed. Let every offi cial-elect resolve to make this the best year that Augusta has Eeen in a gen eration. The kind of political organi zation that tells, in the long run, is efficient service in office. Next year’s suetess largely depends on the men who were elected yesterday. It was an unexpected overturn, one of the city's handsomest votes and i-rpr.s.ng figures showing the public determination. Candidate Perkins made a clear, and good fight, here’s our hand—now is the time for the real use of a philoso phy of lA.r.g. War BriCe*'' Europe’* Hope. Europe is killing a nd disabling the fl.vwer of her manhood, at the rate of many millions a year. Never mind why, or v.hat is to he the returns in honors and territory, is it worth the cost? Five great world powers are already looking into the depths. An estimate just published places tfcr; German losses up to the present in killed, captured and disabled at three million men. It may not be as bad as that—we hope r.ot—but it is an enor mous total. The old, the weakling3 and the young boys are left at home. What must be the result in the next generation, should this war last no more than one year? Already the governments that are moving their lojal subjects up to the slaughter machines of their neighbors are considering means of replacing the human material for the next grear v,ar. War Brides" is the hope. The Detroit Free Press puts it this way: To replace the men rotting in un marked graves in European battle fields. Germany. France and England urge women to marry. Marry; never mind Inclination or affection; marry, and breed. What a pity science has not as yet discovered a means of con trolling sex! Europe wants boy babies—wants them so badly that conventionalities are to be ignored and irregular connections iegiuma- j tized. Women are urged to become “war brides,” to marry reeruits and accept motherhood, along with prob- j able widowhood. In addition to self- maintenance and helping to build up their devastated country, they are to assume the duty of bringing up fatherless children, and this Is to be evidence of their patriotism. There is an element of sardonic humor in the situation. Had women anything to do with the matter there would be no war. It costs them too much. There Is the anguish of parting with those they love, the protracted agony of uncer tainty as to their fate, the constant expectancy of ill news, the final blow, none the less harrowing because 50 long anticipated. With this comes the strain of new and more difficult Renditions, doubled burdens, the breaks lug up of home and family, the strug gle for subsistence. Men die once on the field; women die dally In mental suffering. No woman can reflect upon the sufferings of women and children in Belgium, Poland and Galicia with out hating war. Why should they not resent being urged to bear more children to be sacrificed to Mars? The rejuvenation of a nation de pends upon Its women. This is ac knowledged by Us statesmen in thU plea for women to continue their ser vice through motherhood. Yet their case is unregarded In Us councils and policies. To quote Hedwig, the about to-be mother of Marion Wentwort-i Craig's play, in answer to the man who urges her sister to become a war bride: You never asked us if we wanted this war. yet you ask us to gather the crops, drudge and alave and wait and agonise, lose our all and go on bearing more men —and more—to be shot devIf we treed the met for you. whj• don't you let us say wait ta to become of them? Do we want them shot—the very breath qf our tree? TTu* prostitution of marriage ar.d j motherhood in the interest* of re population mar be a nation's ne- cessity; It cannot, bowerer. conduce ti national morality. The queer thin? about It is that women are rT.ert con cerning their point of view. However, the censors may be responsible for this. Let Nations Choose. "What shall we new plant, barley to poison and kill our citizens, our young mothers and the unborn, or wheat, to grow bone and brawn and blood and brains and bravery tor Britain?” asks Dr. C. W. Saieeby, F. K. S. E, the noted English medical authority, in an article in the Daily Chronicle of Man chester, England, entitled "Bread or Whisky? Which is the Greater Na- j tionai Meed?" He deprecates the worse than waste in raising barley to make beer and whisky; and turning food material into poison. He quotes the words of the Czar of Russia to his minister of finance, “It is r.ot meet the welfare of the exchequer should be dependent upon the ruin of the spiritual and productive energies of numbers of my Icyai subjects,”' and urges his fellow countrymen "in this epoch-year of I51H" to plant wheat instead of whis ky: tread instead cf beer; life instead of death,” adding that ‘never, per haps was there a more fateful choics for the English cation." We wonder if Germany will waste good grain in tocze this year. It has swilled enough to feed the nation through a war of many years. Filth We Heed, and the Filth We Eat.

Schofield A-K Tablets For Various Forms Of Headache It Is necessary in order to treat head aches properly to understand the cause* which produce the affection'’ says Dr. J. W. Bay of Biockton, Ala. Continuing, be say*: Physicians cannot even begin the treat ment of a disease without knowing wfcat canaes give rise to it, and we must remem ber that headache is to be treated according to the same rule. We must not only be par ticular to give a remedy intended to coun teract the caase which produces the head ache, but we must also give a remedy to relieve the pain until the cause of the trouble has been removed. Toanswer this purpose Antl-k&mnia Tablets will be found a most convenient and satisfactory remedy. One tablet every one to three hou rs gives comfort and rest in the most severe cases of headache, neuralgia and particularly the headaches of women.” When we have a patient subject to regular attacks of sick headache, we shown caution him to keep hia towels regular, for which nothing Is better than “Actoids”, and when he feels the least sign of an oncoming attack, he should take two A-K Tablets, ouch patients should always be Instructed to carry a few Aatl-kamma Tablets, so as to have them ready for instant use. These tablets are prompt m action, and can be depended on to prodace relief in a very few minutes. Ask for A-K Tablets. Antl-kamoJ* Tablets can be obtained at all druggists.

Fat and be Strong The trouble with most thin folks who I wish to gain weight is that they insist on drugging their stomach «>r stalling i it with gr asy foods; rubbing on use- less •’flesh creams,’" or following some; foolish physical culture stunt, while j the real cause of thinness goes un touehe I. You cannot gc-t fat until >mir digestive tract assimilates the food you cat. Thanks to a remarkable new scien tific discovery, it is now possible to combine into simple form the very el ements needed by the digestive organs to help them convert food into rich, fat-laden blood. Tins master-stroke of modern chemistry is called Sargol and has been termed the greatest of flesh-builders. Sargol aims through Its re-generative, reconstructive pow ers to coax the stomach and intestines to literally soak up the fattening ele ments of your food and pass them into tiie blood, where they are earned to every starved, broken-down cell and tissue of your body. You can readily picture the results when this amazing transformation has taken place and >ou notice how your cheeks till out, hollows about your neck, shoulders and bust disappear and you take on from 10 to 20 pounds of solid, healthy flesh, i-argol is absolutely harmless, inexpensive, efficient. Bowditch Webster and other leading druggists of Augusta and vicinity have it and will refund your money if you are not satisfied, as per. the guarantee found in every package.

Peaslee of and 105 others charging that the Cumberland County Power Light Co. is exacting unjust and discrimi nator;.' rates for the carriage of pas sengers over the line of the electric railway operated by it in the city of Saco. The respondent operates as a part of its entire system a line of electric railway, running from Monument Square, Portland, to Peppered Square, Saco, about 16 miles. The fare charged for the entire distance is 25 cents. The line is divided into live live-cent zones, which overlap, so that the maximum distances which may be traveled in the several zones aggregate consider ably more than the actual distance be f een the two termini. The mileage of these zones, beginning at the Port land end, is 4.293. 3.174. 3.5645. 4.1565 and 2.5 miles respectively But the respondent has transfer arrangements with the Biddeford Saco Railroad, extending from Pepperell Square to Five Points in Biddeford, and thence by loop back to where it nearly con nects with the line from Pepperell Square to Five Points, under which it firr.ishe- transportation over ar.d ac cepts transfers from the Biddeford Saco Railroad at an expense to the respondent of two and one-half cents each. This transfer system affords an actual mileage of 5.355 miles In the Saco zone, available to the public the same extent as though the entire mileage were owned or ieased by the respondent. The petitioners ask that the Saco zone be extended about two miles toward Portland, and a Ivance in sub stance, three reasons, namely: First, that the present Saco zone is too short for the fare charged; second, that it discriminates against Saco because f.ve cent fare entitles a person to a longer ride in the Portland zone, and third, that it discriminates against Saco because a person may travel for five cents a greater distance toward Dunstan from the Saco end than toward Saco from the Dunstan end. The commissioners in their decision say: "There is no evidence, nor does it sc-em probable, that the greater maxi mum distance afforded for five cents in the Portland zone draws away from Saco, either from persons residing within the present Saco zone limits or within that territory which the peti tioners ask to have added to the Saco zone. The most the petitioners could expect in this respect would be ,.j make the fare to Saco flie cents in stead of 10 cents for those residing in the territory asked for, and to add fiv e cents to the fare now charged them for going to Portland, by putting them in the fifth zone from P"rtlar;d As the zones are now constitute J those persons must pay more to go to Portland than to saco. and ue can not believe that trade from this sec tion notv goes to Portiand simply be cause the 'passenger may ride a great er distance per cent, of fare paid af ter he reaches the Portland zone. ‘The third complaint, as we have classified them, is that on which es pecial stress was laid. The petition ers claimed that persons living in the territory can go to Dunstan for five cents while it costs 10 cents to go to Peppered Square, a shorter distance. This appears to be true, and if Saco and Dunstan were otherwise similariv situated it probably would require some change such as that prayed f For instance, if they were the two termini of the line it obviously would be unfair to place the limit more than one-half the way toward Saco. Bu'. the real difficulty is geographical. Dunstan is near the Portland end of the Saco limit. Peppered Square m Saco is near the center of its rone about half-way from Milliken’s Turn out to Five Points. Dunstar. is served the five cent limit from one direction only: Saco is served from both directions. Tim respondent furnishes the entire Saco ar.d Biddeford territory as a part of its system. It ought to do so. if prac ticable. Xo suggestion is made that it should not. It must then be con sidered In fining the zones. While the two cities are politically distinct they are so situated geographically, socially and industrially, that the far limit ought not to i.e drawn through the heart of the united business dis trict. But it must be expected that the distance from the heart of the zone to its terminal will be less than that from 1 point near the remote termi nal of an adjoining Z'T.e to the com mon zone I re. It w-as suggested that tie respon dent would profit >m re-adjust ment of tiie zon* iiii..- that would mak-. ti e five cent fart avail able to person.- if.-i iir.- 'he t.• able to carry them out to tis. '-i development and conduct a .-i.-.p tive store which renders the same er vice to its customers that a privity enterprise would. This, however, inev itably leads to complications and should only i>e undertaken aft s- m experience with simpler methods of ope ration. With the committee on farm finance and accounting, the first duty is to as certain what farm enterprises car. safely be financed. This is only possi ble when accurate accounts arc kr-pt and carefully analyzed. After tr.S 1 been done, the next step is in :r the most favorable terms ff farmers organize themselves to receive deposits and make loans. By keeping the expenses down to a minimum, it lias been possible in some cases for such associations to pay interest on deposits that is within on- per cent of the interest it charges on loans. The committee on communication and transportation should deal prima rily with the roads and telephones. The keynote of the work should he organ ized self-help, not appeals to get Gov ernment help. Just as the five business committees are to grapple with the fundamental problems of producing and selling in their various forms, the five social com mittees should direct their efforts to the improvement of living conditions in the country. To increase the farmer's income is not the only thing needed to make ru ral life what it should be. As a matter of fact, says this article, it is the pros perous farmer who is more inclined to move to town than his less fortunate neighbor. Having accumulated a com petence he wishes to enjoy it. and there are five principal reasons which lead him to believe that he can do this bet ter in the city: First. there are usually better facilities for educating his chil dren; second, the sanitary conditions are frequently much better in towns, and the time does not seem to be far distant when the cities will be actually more healthful than the country. Again, household conveniences such as hot and cold water, heating and lighting systems, etc., are more abundant in the towns and add greatly .to the comfort of living. Finally, there is more oppor tunity for recreation in the city, and frequently, strange as it may appear, more to appeal to the sense of beauty that is inherent in practically every man. Co-operation on the part of rural communities can do as much to alter these conditions as it can to increase the average cash income. The commit tees that have these matters in charge should, therefore, be regarded as quite as important as those which deal with business questions, and they should re ceive the same support from the entire i duc ::v_- a: ati-spirit ri: it hi y are »nn:_' i v.:; a m 11 it- way. is eap va: :e i suits Ir. says the "Patri is m. like that is in the As the pamphlet con ta:: s list suggest'd readings th- v: is o.mniup-t.

'Iffiey are in York. Cumberland and Androscoggin cases and are given below. State otf Maine by Information of the 1 Attorney General, vs. Y'ork Light j Heat Company. Hanson, J.—This Is an information in the nature of quo "warranto. The de fendant demurred, and file case is before us upon exceptions to the order over- ruling the demurrer. The complainant 1 attacks the corporation and asks for a surrender of its dhartertd rights upon a (general statement of misuser of its fran chise, without specifying acts constitut ing misuser, or stating any definite time when sueh misuser occurred, or whether single acts or continuous misuser of Its franchisee constituted the ground of oonHtlaint. Hold, 1—To allege the breach of a con dition In general terms is to assert a con clusion of law, and the plainest princi ples of good pleading require that the act or acts or the instances of failure to act should be specified in order that the court may see whether or not when j taken in connection with the charter they amount to a breach and cause of for feiture. The reasonableness of this rule is apparent when it is considered that when one is injured by a bleach of duty, j he must know better than any one else In what the wet or neglect consists. 2. It is settled. .law that certainty of allegation is indispensable, that the com plainant must make his complaint suffi ciently full and explicit to show that 'he has a case to establish, and thus bring himself within the common law rule of (pleading, that all the essential facts must be averred positively, inese gen eral rules apply to the form of the alle- I ignitions as well as to tiheir sufficiency. 2. In this state quo warranto is a civil action, so determined and classified by the legislature, and so considered by the court, and consistently with the rule uni versally adopt® in common law plead ing. we hold that the complaint must aver the acts or omissions constituting the misuser complained of concisely and clearly. 4. The pleadings in such an action are governed in general by the' rules appli cable in ordinary civil actions. By such j ru'es the complainant is required to set forth the facts on which he relies, pus- itively and with certainty, in order that the court may be able to determine whether a wrong has been done to the public. Information in the nature of quo j iwarranto is. however, the appropriate remedy against a corporation for abuse of power, misuse of privilege, malfeas- ance or non-feasance. tl. In tills case demurrer was properly interposed and this conclusion is sup ported by well nigh universal judicial agreement that any defect in the struct ure of the information may be taken ad- vantage f by demurrer. T. The relief to be granted does not depend upon the prayer for relief, but upon the complaint and the evidence. •and from the nature of the complaint. I n resort to extraordinary remedy, it is surely but fair to require the complain- j ant to reveal what be knows, to state his full case, so that the court may have sufficient information to authorize and justify the later steps necessary in quo warr-into—in short, the state above all other suitors can afford to inform the court frankly, fully ar.l in detail what is believed to lie an injury or menace to the public. Such course will surely safe guard the interest of a complainant, and accomplish ’another end of equal impor tance in safeguarding the interests of the individuals adverse to Che complain ant. Exceptions sustained. Cumberland County case. Henry Dennis vs, Waterford Packing Company. Rescript 'by Savage, C. 3 1. The court is not bound to consider exceptions, un less the bill of exceptions itself states the grounds of exception in a summary manner; nor unless it states the evi dence, concerning the admission or ex clusion of which complaint is made, and enough of the contentions or issues in the case to show that it was relevant or irrelevant, material or immaterial. com petent or incompetent, as the case may be; nor, unless It contains the requested instructions, to the refusal of which ex ception Is taken, and sufficient matter to ishow that the requested Instructions were appropriate. 2.

This is an action for breach of the covenant of quiet enjoyment expressed and implied in a lease between the par ties dated Jan. 1 W12. At the trial the presiding justice on motion directed a vendict for the defendant, and the case is before tihe court on the plaintiff's ex ception to that ruling Held. 1. It is the opinion of the court that the ruling of the presiding justice was correct. The case is not doubtful. The evidence would not have warranted a verdict for the plaintiff and there was no evidence from which different conclu sions might be drawn by different minds. f. Breach of a covenant for quiet en joyment is the 'basis of the action. In resorting to this form of action, we think the plaintiff has mistaken his remedy, if he was damaged by the act of the de fendant, for a covenant for quiet enjoy ment in a lease is broken only by an eviction. 3. The lease made provision for the entry of the county commissioners for making repairs and improvements and "the performance of any other duties required off them by virtue of their of fice, and for abatement of Tent during any suspension of the plaintiff's occu pancy.” These provisions were known to both parties, the likelihood of their exorcise must be held to have been in the contemplation of both at the date of the execution of the lease. The con struction of the lease was for the court. 4. It is settled that to constitute an eviction, one must be actually dispos sessed bv one having the real title, or one under a paramount title. An evic tion is not a mere trespass and nothing more, but something of a grave and per manent character done by the landlord for the purpose and with the intention off depriving the tenant of the demised premises. Every eviction includes an ouster, either of the whole or some part of the demised premises, and may be ac complished by the wrongful acts of the lessor depriving the lessee of the bene ficial enjoyment of the premises, and the lessee in consequence abandons the same. Such wrongful acts amount in law to an eviction without other evidence that the landlord intended to deprive the tenant of possession. But the m- re fact that by an act or default of the landlord, not unlawful in itself, nor accompanied with any intention to affect the enjoyment of the premises demised, they have been rendered uninhabitable, is not sufficient to constitute an eviction. j. The plaintiff did not abandon the possession. The defendant's acts were not voluntary, but under stress of para mount necessity They were compelled to do the acts complained of, and when the necessity for such acts ceased, the plaintiff resumed business. In view of the undisputed facts, we hold that the case fails to disclose any of the elements necessary to be shown j to constitute an eviction. Exceptions overruled. Androscoggin County Case Sarah C. Gower, appellant from de cree of Judge of probate, Hanson, J. This was a petition to the probate court of Androscoggin county asking tor the appointment of W. H. Judkins os guardian of the appellant. I'pon due notice and hearing thereon it (Was decreed “that W. H. Judkins be ap pointed guardian of said Sarah C. Gow er, and that letters of guardianship issue to him." From this decree an appeal was taken to the Supreme court of probate. Hear ing was had on the appeal and the de cree was affirmed by the presiding judge. The case is before the law court on ex ceptions to the ruling and respondents' counsel filed a motion for a. new trial on the ground that the decree is, First, against the evidence. Second, against law. Held, 1. Tii* presiding Justice found that the appellant was incompetent to manage her estate and protect her rights. This was a finding of fact, and not an infer ence of law. and having ample evidence to support it, such finding Is conclusive. 1 The findings of the judge presiding in the Supreme court oif probate in mat ters of fact are conclusive, if there is any evidence to support them. And when the law invests him with the power to exercise his discretion, that exercise is not reviewable or, exceptions. If he finds ‘facts without evidence, or if he exercises 1 discretion without authority his doings may be challenged by exceptions. 1 Our conclusion necessarily disposes of the motion. It was not urged by coun sel, and its purpose in the proceeding is not apparent. We know of no statute or rule authorising a motion for a new trial in cases of appeal from a decree of a judge of probate, or of a single justice in matter* beard by “him without a jury, j Exception* overruled. Motion overruled. BELFAST

She was accompanied by her baby, while the two little girls, aged 5 and 7, were taken to the Girls' Home in North port cxenue, where they still remain. The woman has begged a number of times and asked for assistance, while a few weeks ago she had her husband, Charles Howard of Castine, up before Judge Krowlton, charging him with1 non-support. Howard was held in the sum of $200 for his appearance at the April icj zn and allowed to go on his own recognizance. He said he was willing to support his wife and chil dren but that she had left him for another man. When arrested Saturday night Mrs. Howard was living in a shack on Low er Market street, and was charged with having locked a young girl of a Questionable character in the place. Judge Know!;on told the woman that if she would leave the city at once she might go hut it is understood that an attempt will be made to have the children taken away from her on moral grounds. A number of well known social workers in the city are interested in the case. The First parish (Unitarian) Soci ety w»ll tender a reception to Rev. A. E. Wilson the new pastor, and Mrs. Wilson, Tuesday night from 8 to 10 at the parsonage on Church street. The Hospital Club will be entertain ed Tuesday night by Mrs. Leroy A. AYebber on Bay A'iew street. There are at present 30 inmates ir. the county jail, all hoboes. There has been almost no time during the win ter that there has been less than 25 tramps in the jail. A large number attended the Chap- man concert Saturday night and all who had not heard little Miss Nina Morgana before were charmed with her marvelous voice. The little prima donna was in wonderful voice ard her selections, all favorites, were splendid ly selected. In the “Angels' Serenade" 'and in the “Mireille Waltz" she was perfect while in her English song she was most appealing. All who heard her will watch her career with rare interest. The illness of Crespi. the Italian violinist, was lamented but when Miss Florence Hardeman was Introduced she made an instant hit, for she has a most attractive personality. Sne was easily the finest violinist heard in Belfast in many years. Charles Floyd, the tenor, pleased the audience with bis selections and was liberally ap jdauded. Mr. Chapman, as always, was most sympathetic in his accom paniments, living up to his high rep utation.

American government is losing pa tience with his indifference to the ob jectionable acts of General Obregon at Mexico City.

M.—The1 British and French fleets have bat- terc-d their way a step nearer to Con stantinople not. however, without damage to the ships engaged, and the battle royal for the Dardanelles con tinues. More Turkish forts on the Asiatic side have been silenced, ac cording to a statement by the British admiralty, but the Turks are mak ing a terrific resistance and the shells i from their German-made guns have found more than one marie on the be sieging craft. This struggle for the gateway of the Ottoman capital is at present the big feature of the war and closely linked with this is the sustained ex citemei.t in Greece incident to the resignation of the cabinet of M. Ve nizelos who. deeming Greece's entry T»to the hostilities on the side of the Tripie Entente imperative, could not agree with his King and re-signed. The retiring premier, according to Athens dispatches, 'plans to leave for a rest. From the number of ships engaged and the size and range of the guns the battle of the Dardanelles is un like anything in history, according to navai experts. At 21,000 yards the huge battleship Queen Elizabeth of the British squadron assisted by smaller ships, is still hurling shells across tiie Gallipoli peninsula into the Turkish strongholds on the Asiatic shore. The admiralty statement car ries the operations through Sunday and admits that the Turks not only scored three minor hits on the Queen Elizabeth, but that the majority of; the ships inside the straits, both French and British, were struck. Xone was sunk and there was no casualties. The Turkish forts Rumili Medjidieh Tabia and Haunidieh-I-Tabia fringing the Asiatic shore line, which previ ously had withstood the bombardment were silenced as was the Mount Dar danus battery further south. The Turkish casualties are unknown. A Turkish official statement from Constantinople issued prior to the ad miralty statement this evening, insist ed that the fighting in the Dardanelles was developing in favor of the Turks. It was stated that no batteries were being destroyed and that the hostile ships were forced to retreat. Aero planes taking wine from the decks of the warships are playing a signal part in the operations. One British machine became unmanageable and dove into the sea and another was hit by the Turks 28 times. An air raid by British flyers on the German submarine base at Ostend. Belgium, was announced by the ad miralty tonight. Six machines partici pated and returned safely. What dam age they inflicted if any. is not known. One of the most picturesque bits of the day's news is a report from Buch arest. Rumania, stating that Former Sultan Abdul Hamid has regained his freedom and is gathering bis friends and supporters around him. It is as serted that he may seek to play an important part in his country's af fairs. More progress by the British fleet before Smyrna is announced in an ad miralty statement. Another official statement says that the Turks’ loss in the land fighting at the head of the Persian gulf is 50 per cent. larger than previously reported. MAINE ATTORNEY APPEARS BEFORE SENATE SNIPPING INQUIRY COM'N "Washington. March $.—Edward C. Plummer of Bath, Me., attorney for the Atlantic Carriers' Association, op erating coastwise schooners, told the Senate ship bill inquiry committee to day that when those carritrs sought to enter the trans-Atlantic cotton trade. Maine insurance companies would not insure their cargoes, and eventually they could get only a $200, r“00 limit of insurance on any one cargo. Secretary Eedfield, he said. had sought information on sailing schon ers for the cotton trade from the American Bureau of Shipping in New York and had been informed that such vessels were rot available. Mr. Plummer also told the commit tee that the interests he represents op posed the ship purchase bill because they feared the government might eventually sell ships to operators in the coastwise trade and injure their business. He lad furnished informa tion to Senator Weeks and also dis cussed the bill with Senator Town send and Representatives Moore, Humphrey and McGillieuddv.

ENTIRE BAT GIVEN TO SELECTION Of JURY AT THE THAW TRIAL New York, March S.—In the same' room where he had twice faced a jury for the killing of Stanford White, Hary Kendall Thaw today went on trial for conspiring to escape from the state hospital for the criminal in sane at Matteawan. With him as co-, defendants were five men whom the state charges with having been par ties to the alleged conspiracy. The entire day was required to complete the Jury. Taking of testimony will be gin tomorrow morning. New Fight For Freedom From the outset of the proceedings, it was evident that the trial would be another fight by. Thaw to gain his freedom. His attorneys plainly inti mated that with the permission of the court, they wouid offer evidence de- signed to prove that their client was I sane when he escaped from the asy- i lum. Such being the case, they said, in examining talesmen, the defend ant was being illegally detained at the i time of his flight. They asked prospective jurors whether they would be prejudiced j against a man who, providing that he was of sound mind, used any means j at his command to escape from a hospital for the insane. These state- ments were amplified later by John E Stanchfield, Thaw’s chief counsel, who said that should the jury find his j client rot guilty, he would immedi- ately sue out a writ of habeas corpus' on the ground that his "detention was illegal because the Jury wt>uld have j established his sanity." On the other hand the contention of the state, as outlined while an assist ant district attorney was questioning talesmen, will be that Thaw, although Insane at the time’ of his escape, was nevertheless competent to enter into a conspiracy and that therefore he should lte punished. If Found Guilty Deputy Attorney General Kennedy in charge of the prosecution, said that in the event of Thaw being found guilty, he would be immediately re turned to Matteawan. The State, said Mr. Kennedy, was pre pared to place half a hundred witnesses on the stand. The first witness, he ad ded, would be William Penny, clerk of criminal branch of the supreme court, where the trial is in progress. Mr. Pen ny is to be asked to identify the court record of Thaw’s second trial and the commitment papers upon Which he was sent to the asylum on Feb. 1, 1SU6. In securing the jury each side used 1 only three of its five allotted peremptory i challenges. Thaw, >mi!insr broadiy now and then assisted his attorneys in eelect i ir-S the jurymen. His codefendants. however, rarely offered suggestions, i These codefendants ar- Richard J, But I lor. formerly state assemblyman; Roger 1 hompson, a.leged to have been the driver of the machine in -which Thaw tied; Michael O Ke^-fe, Eugene E. Ij jIT\* and Thomas Flood. Greets Mother hen the adjournment was taken upon the completion o: the jury Thaw, still smiling, was escorted to the sheriff s office on the flo-or above the court room. There he greeted his white-haired mother who. with Mrs. George Carnegie his J sister, and Josiah Thaw, hfs half brother, !had been in court all day. Thaw threw his arms around his mother and kissed: her: then the two sat down and held a orief whispered conference. Before lie returned to his cell. Thaw said he was perfectly satisfied with the jury as completed. Thbaiw appeared to have taken on i considerable weight since his return from New Hampshire. His face was ruddy and he seemed to be in perfect physical condition. PORTS OF BLACK SEA BOMBARDED

When the pile was once alight he dumped some powder on it and ran mm “Aehmet!” she whiepered.* swiftly away, hiding a few hundred yards back. The hut took fire slowly, but the glare accomplished his purpose. It slowly drew the watchers toward it. Satisfied that no one would be spy- i ing on him now, but that all would, have eyes only for the fire, he set forth quickly, careless of the fact that, John Dorr must be burning alive. In the darkness he passed Aehmet and Ruth. The blaze had almost entirely en veloped the hut when Ruth finally staggered in and with a sob of joy cut John's bonds and half (Jragged him through the swirling smoke into the open. When sue had done this she prompt ly fainted. The smoldering embers were send ing up blue spirals of smoke into the morning sky when Consul Reynolds and Sir Donald spurred their wearied horses up to where John and Aehmet squatted with Ruth between them, still but dimiy conscious. Dorr briefly explained bis expert-1 ences and related bow Ruth had sud denly appeared, just as he bad given up hope. Sir Donald, kneeling by Ruth's side, merely patted her hand. The next morning Mrs. Reynolds laid down the law in set terms to the party assembled around the breakfast table. “You must get this young lady hack to America," she said, "pafiens or no papers:” John and Sir Donald nodded without glancing at each other. Thus it was that a couple of days later old Tom Kane at the “Master Key” mine received a cablegram read ing: tVllkerson Darnell aboa-cl steamsa'.p Pa cific; Frisco. Sirth. with papers We fol low next steamer. DORR. Thus it was that the struggle be tween TVilkerson and .lobu Dorr was again transionnej to the valley in which lay the “Master Key" mine. Wilkerson and .lean Darnell, with the precious papers in their possession, slipped away hurriedly, taking the first steamer that sailed. He had told her about Drake's death, though unable to say how ft had hap pened. Privately be had no regrets. The young man had served his pur pose. and it was by no means doubtful that Mrs. Darnel! would have seen to It that he had his reward, for she hired him as much as it was in her nature to care for any man, he thought. “He was an awfully good Bort.’’ she said to Wilkerson one night as they leaned over the rail and watched the long swells from the tow speed fan-, wise into the Infinity of the sea. “Yes, the fellow bad his good points,” he admitted. “I miss him.” she said simply. Later She added thoughtfully, “I think he was in love with me.” TYilkerson laughed. Mrs. Darnell glanced at him with an expression strange on her handsome face. “Yes, I am sure be loved me." “In vain.” he returned lightly. “I don't know whether it might have been wholly in vain after all.” she murmured. “life has given me little love of that kind. It seems as if I had always been a woman who for mere sell protection could not let any one love me or let myself love him.” "1 should not have let you lore him,” was the quiet response. “I have strug gled too hard and fought too loaf for you to allow any one else to bare you." "And what does your love amount to after all, Harry?" she asked. “Tell me plainly. Has it done either of ua any good? Will it ever do us any good Wllkerson stared out at the dark sea, and his face grew slowly very cruel. “Good?" he repeuted. “All that I know is that I love you more than anything else in the universe. You love luxury and jewelry and gold and silk Because 1 know what you love I am trying to get it for you, because I want you more than I want anything else. 1—1 think we are even.” "Even?” she said in a suddenly strained voice. "Yes, we are even— you the felon and the murderer, I the receiver of stolen goods, stolen happi ness, stolen life, stolen gold!" When they finally reached San Fran cisco YTilkerson found her oddly dis trait. She did not know whether to go to the mine or to return to New York. One moment she was in a tigerish rage: the next hour she was staring at the fog haunted hills with eyea that saw nothing. He stormed and argued to no pur pose. He recalled to her constantly the fact that he had the deeds, the master key itself, the plans of the lo cation of the mother lode. She either listened listlessly or drove htm away with furious upbraldings. Yet In the end she accompanied him to Silent Valley. It was a bitter moment for old Tom Kane when the stage drove up and Wilkerson and Mra. Darnell got out tn« stead of John Dorr and Ruth. He bad hoped against hope, and no** his dreams were In asbea, for Wilker* eon instantly took charge, the am, an Tom put it to himself, followed thn paymaster, and so far as outward op* pea ranee went the “Master Key*’ BlU was firmly in Wilkerson’s posses Hi ao.

ELLUL mcMdXt JOSEPH KING AND SANFORD PRATT ARE CAUGHT AT LEWISTON Escaped from the Kennebec Jail Last Spring—Capture a Good Piece of Work by Lewiston Police Prisoners Brought Back to Augusta In response to a message receives by Sheriff Getcheil Monday morning from the Lewiston police department, telling of the arrest of two men, Joe King of Watervilie and Sanford Pratt of Bow doinham, who escaped from Kennebec jail last spring, Deputy Sheriff Bucklln went to Lewiston and brought the pris oners to Augusta, reaching this city on the 1 o'clock car Monday afternoon. King, who made his escape from jail April 13. 1314, was serving a sentence of 10 months on a liquor case, and Pratt, who escaped from jail March 3L 1314, was serving a sentence of 11 months on the charge of cheating by false pretences. The Lewiston Sun Monday morning had the following account of the capture of the men: "A man put in an appearance at the 1 Lewiston police station last night and i informed the officer in charge that he knew of the whereabouts of two men, King and Pratt by name, who had es caped from the Kennebec county jail at Augusta last spring ar.d were at present located in Lewiston. All of this he told to Inspector Murphy without faltering. At this point his story came to an abrupt termination. P'or his trouble, both men tal and physical, he demanded a pecuni ary reward. •'Inspector Murphy telephoned to Au gusta to make sure th^t there could be no mistake, and he was informed by Sheriff Getcheil of Kennebec county that two men escaped from the jail there last spring and were being sought for all over the country, but that no reward was of fered to any person giving information leading to their arrest. Accordingly Offi cer Murphy told the stranger the facts of the case, as he had heard them over the wire, and the stranger departed. ■'At this point officer Murphy turned detective and shadowed the man from the police office to Park, to Main, ar.d thence to Lincoln street to a house well known to the police of the city ar.d con ducted by a Mrs. Eageux. “Seeing that it would be useless to at 1 tempt anything alone, the inspector call ed the office for aid and o-ucers Mur ray. Rivard and Reardon ttc-nt to his as sistance. "Upon the arrival of the other officers, Inspector Murphy proceeded to raid the house. A thorough search revealed the man who calle-1 at the station but not the two to whom r- i r- nee had been j made as "jail-breakers." "Accordingly, Inspector Murphy took the man to th- s'ation an J there by 'a series of questions t.nd by reading a few \ers--s of the statutes to him succeeded in learning a little more of i the story. "This was to reveal the hiding places, but not to tell the names of the parties concerned. This seemed satisfactory to Inspector Murphy, and he took the man 1 in tow to the 1 edging of the men much sought for, which -ms at the Lewiston House. Here, the two were found, and j identified as the ones 'wanted in Augusta. Officers Eretor. and Lar.geiier made the arrests. “At the police station it was learned lhat one of the men was named King, who had been tried and convicted on i a liquor charge while the name of the other was Pratt, charged with dispos ing of mortgaged property. King had been given a ten-months' sent'-r.ce ami I had served about three months of it at the time of the escape. Pratt had been sentenced to 11 months and had served but two months of it. Both men .-.-ere locked up ami the Augusta officials notified of their apprehension. "The m?n were trusties at the jail at 1 the time of their departure and as a rare corlncidence, if it may l>e called such, Sunday night was the first time they had met since breaking jail and had just commenced a good blow out, as they put it. .when arrested by the Lewiston officials.

Announcement to the People of Augusta and Vicinity Two years ago we inaugurated a new selling policy called OIR RIGHT SELLING PLAN It’s been a big success from your standpoint v* eL as oui s, and we know you’ll be interest eel in nearing about tlie results; we’re going to tell you all about this victory—it’s really your victory. We found that under the old “clearance” methods it was necessary to get extra profit during the regular selling season, in order to nuke up for the losses at sale time; it’s the j niy way that a business can “break even” un dti the sale method. The result was that men -ver: paying a penalty for early buying; it wasn't fair; there was no justice in it—we de cided to change. It takes courage to step out of the beaten paths of business; it takes courage to sell on narrower margin of profit when you know you can get more, but we felt sure that any plan of selling that gave you greater profit and as uare deal, would bring us greater profit in the long run. So for two years we have been selling our mere.' andise on very close margins, charging the same prices the year around; the man who buys in April gets the same advantage that r es to the man who buys in July. Under this Right Selling Plan we’ve sold more Hart Sc-haffner Marx clothes and other merchandise than ever before; we’ve sold on ch ser margins than ever before. We shall con tinue this plan of giving greater values—the plan is a success from your standpoint as well as ours.

CARRANZA WARNED BY UNITED STATES Emphatic Note Demand s Improvement in Con ditions Concerning Foreigners Washington, March 8.—General Car- j ranza has been informed in a note from the United States government that unless there is an improvement in conditions with respect to foreigners and their interests in Mexican terri tory under his control, such steps as may be necessary will be taken by the American government to obtain the desired protection. The note is the strongest and most emphatic docu ment that has- beer, sent by the Washington government to Mexico since the correspondence with Huerta a year ago. The contents of the com munication were revealed to several of the ambassadors who expressed satisfaction at its urgent language. Some regarded it an entire change of policy toward Mexico on the part of the United States. American Consul j Silliman should have presented the: note to Carranza today. A copy of it: was sent to the Brazilian minister at j Mexico City to be shown to Gen. Ob- j regon, the Carranza commander. Warship Moves Ordered In the meantime, some movements j of American warships have been or- i dered, the effect of which will he a j naval demonstration that is hoped by j some off cials will convince Gen. Car- i ranza of the determination of the: American government to obtain a i change in conditions in Mexico City. I Secretary Daniels conferred with j President Wilson tonight over the prospect cf sending additional war-, ships to Vera Cruz. One vessel, the battleship Delaware, has been at Vera Cruz for several weeks, tout live war ships will be in that vicin ity in a few days. It has been planned to send the Delaware to Guantanamo soon to join the Atlantic fleet in its spring manoeuvres. As a result of the latest developments the Delaware will remain at Vera Cruz indefinitely; the cruiser Tacoma left Port Au Prince, Haiti, today under orders to proceed at once to Vera Cruz, the gunboat Petrel already is enroute from Mobile, Ala, and the cruiser Des Moines is bound from Progreso to Vera Cruz while the gunboat Sacramento Is at Tampico, t'.ier available light draft vessels—more valuable than battleships in tropical waters—are tho gunboats Wheeling and h-'ashville, being held in readiness with the armored cruiser Washington in Hai tien and Domican waters, while the entire Atlantic fb-et of 21 first class bat tle ships Is at Guantanamo within two end a half days sail of Vera Cruz. Mr. Daniels gave this summary of the posi tion of the warships but declined to dis cuss future movements. Asked whither the United States in tended to use physical force to obtain a compliance with its requests Secre tary Bryan today replied that ‘‘noth, ing had been decided upon yet, beyond representations" and that it was best to meet situations as they arise. Menacing Condition Latest reports from Mexico City in dicate a menacing condition of affairs for the 25,00 foreigners there, of whom £50) are Americans. The Carranza au thorities have commandeered aii the medicines and medical supplies in the thief hospital and sent them to Vera Cruz. An appeal has been made to the United States to dispatch a hospital ship to Vera Cruz to send medical sup plies to Mexico City and the Mexican Red Cross for protection against the Carranza authorities and for permis sion to co-operate with the interna tional relief commission in dealing with the starving people: Typhus fever and small pox have broken out In the capital as well as at Tampico. In the face of the threatened riot and the famine in Mexico City, the state department today received a note from the Carranza government which had been transmitted to all the diplomatic representatives in Mexico City an nouncing on the authority of Gen. Car ranza that the capital would be evacu ated by the Ohregon forces. This was formally announced bv Secretary Bryan today, together with the statement that Carranza had in vited diplomatic corps to move to Vera Cruz or any other town under his jur isdiction stating that this would not be consideed by him as ar. act of recog nition. It is understood that the dip lomatic corps feel that their depar ture from the City of Mexico would not be beat for the foreign interests under their care Tim diplomatic corps at the same tint" entt-red a vigorous protest to Carranza gainst the pro posed evacuation of Mexico City, de claring that some garrison should be left to preserve law and order. Ac cording to the Carranza agency ad vices from Vera Cruz, Gen. Obregon intends to leave a garrison in the capi tal and Secretary Bryan said there was no Indication as yet that this would be done. He said the United States government had informed Carranza of its desire that the city should not ‘v? left without some force to protect it against mobs and riots. Fear for Future Asked whether there was actual suffer ing at present by foreigners. Secretary Bryan said that it was "the fear of the future rather than the effect of the pres ent” that had caused the serious state of affairs, and that this was “due to the things Obregon had proposed, such as the cutting off of all communication." The effect also of the language used by Obregon," said Mr. Bryan, “has been to emphasize the danger from mobs be cause of utterances calculated to stir up feeling against foreigners." Ho added that within the last few days no word has come directly from Carran za to indicate any change in conditions. From sources familiar with what the American government has said to Carran za, It was learned that the latest note while not In the nature of an ultimatum j was virtually of the same effect. It made no reference to specific difficulties, as j these have been the subject of separate and numerous communications hereto fore, but summed up in an insistent tone the situation In the territory controlled by Carranza. There was a clear indica tion in it that the United States govem ment had made repeated representations jn vain regarding Carranza’s treatment of foreigners and that a point had been j reached when it was necessary for the i first chief to take into consideration the j serious steps which the United States might feel compelled to take in order to j obtain an improvement of affairs. Carranza's decrees and those of his su- i bordinate generals have been a constant1 cause of embarrassment to foreign gov ernments ever since he broke with Gen. Villa. The imprisonment of scores of priests and the confiscation of property, j the expulsion of tiie Belgian and Spanish ministers and the treatment of foreign consuls generally have been charged in official reports. The visit in this connec tion of Cardinal Gibbons to New Orleans to talk with Archbishop Merret, who has just been expelled oy Carranza from Mex ico together with otner priests, was re garded by diplomatic officials here as of the utmost significance. In the diplomat ic corps tonight there was unusual ac tivity owing to the Mexican situation. REPUBLICANS SWEEP CITY (Continued From Page One) (R), 23; Will W. Taylor (R). 236; Alfred J.

HALLOWELL HALLOWELL NEl" CITY COV'T MEETS—MAYOR OTIS DELIVERS HIS INAUGURAL The ne^vly elected members of the city government met Monday at 10 o'clock in the city building for organ ization. City Clerk Perkins called the meeting to order. Alderman Pettingill was chosen temporary chairman. He appointed Aldermen Canton and Turner as a committee to examine the creden tials of the aldermen-elect. When these were pronounced satisfactory Judge Fred Kmerv Feane administered the oath of office to the members of the board of aldermen. John A. Quinn was then elected city clerk to serve for the ensu ing year. Aldermen Trask and Turner were appointed as a committee to wait upon Mayor-elect Otis and escort him 1 to the mayor's chair. After taking the oath of office the Mayor read the follow ing inaugural address, which was very brief owing to the fact that he had been suffering with a severe cold for several days and was still very hoarse. His address was as follows: "We have been called by our citizens to assume the government of our city for the ensuing year. The past year has seen a new industry established in our midst that must prove oc great benefit to the city. It although brings In creased, re--ponsibility. The crowded condition of our schools is a matter that will require your immediate attention. Several of the school buildings have been, condemned by the board of health. Some of these will probably be discon tinued in tlie event of our building a now school building to accommodate seevral schools; but there are one or two that will he continued and I think these should be changed at once. "I think our highways have been as well cared for as was possible with the amount of money we had to do with. The increased use of automobiles wears out our roads so much faster than formerly that I think the appropriation should be increased by K00. Several hundred feet of concrete side walk was laid the past year and more should be laid this yeax on the hLls. On level ground, the crushed rock makes a very good walk, but on the hills it is of no use. -In spite of increased calls your poor department has made an excellent showing. The city farm under the eft dent superintendent has paid better the past year than for many years i -in the matter of appropriations the 1 heads of the different departments should make their estimates as soon as possible." After the reading o' t.ie^ maugura j the meeting adjourned until 7.3 Monday evening. At the adjourned meeting of the city government Monday evening the fol lowing elections resulted: Treasurer and collector (voted to lay on the table) City Solicitor, M. H. Simmons.

Deputy Sheriffff Warren Brown seized two more barrels of whiskey containing Irt) pints at the Atlantic Express Satur day evening. The barrels were consigned to Bill Murray and Millard Stevenson. It is thought that the names on these barrels, as well as on those seized Fri day, are fictitious and that both lots were meant for one party. Mrs. Mary F. Perry News was received Monday of the death of Mrs. Mary F. Perry, mother of W. H. Perry, treasurer of the Hallowed Trust and Banking Co., ar.d sister of the late Judge Austin D. Knight.

JOHN SON-WiLLARO FIGHT IS SET FOR APRIL 3 AT HAVANA, CUBA Havana, March 8.—A fight for the' world's heavyweight pugilistic cham pionship will take place at Havana on Saturday, April 3, between Jack John son and Jess Willard. The last obstacle in the way of hav- I ing the fight held hero was removed today when Jack Curley, who ondeav ored to have the men meet at Juarez, ilex., on March 6, received a cable from Willard saying that he would: start immediately for Havana arriv- i ing March 15. The terms for the fight are identical with those which would prevailed had the encounter taken; place at Juarez. Curley will act as the chief promoter and will be assist ed by Richard Klegln as managing director. The site for the battle has not been selected. Johnson began training today. Wil lard will probably have training quar ters at Marianao. Chatham, Mass., March 8.—Direct wire less communication between the Cnited States and a neutral nation of the Old World soon will he possible for the first time since the outbreak of the war through stations now virtually complet ed on Cape Cod-and the coast of Nor way. These stations have been estab’ished by the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Co. of .America, but the new plans of the com pany have not been officially announced. The impression has been given that the service might not become effective until the close of hostilities. It is generally reported, however, that it is intended to i meet the situation aris ng from the war. The new route will be used for through trans-Atlantic business as distinct from what is known as the “inside" service of the exchange of messages with vessels at sea, which work will be handled by the present Marconi station at Wellfleet and tuaseonset. Cutting of Cable One of the early acts of war by the British was the cutting of direct cable communication between Germany and this country. German capital, however, had a short time before erected wire less stations at Eilvez, Prussia, and Say ville. L. I., and in this way war news j has been brought to this country direct from Germany without interference from other belligerents. Wireless communication between Clifden, Ireland, and Glace Bay, N. S also has continued, but there has been no direct wireless service between this country and the other great neu trals. Accordingly all the wireless war matter from Europe has been censor ed by one of these two belligerents. Two stations have been built on the cape, one here and the other at Ma rion, 50 miles to the westward. It was understood that the local station will receive only while messages will be dispatched from Marion. The Chatham station lacks only the installation of instruments and the stretching of anl tennae to the six poles that rise to a height of 450 feet. The company ac quired a piece of land several hundred feet wide and extending in a south westerly direction from Pleasant Bay back through the woods for more than a mile. Work Sine* July Work was begun here last July since which time six poles have been set up 1,000 feet apart in one long row. Each poie is made up of short sections of heavy piping strongly guy ed and set on an asphalt base well im bedded in the sand. They are expected to withstand any gale up to 100 miles an hour. Two brick buildings for the instruments and a number of house; for employes have been erected and it is understood that the stations on the American side represent an outlay of $1,500,000. When the work was commenced here it was supposed that the new stations were to replace the plant at Wellfleet which had suffered considerable dam age from storms and high tides. It was stated, however, that Wellfleet would not be abandoned though not practical for trans-atlantic work. That station, which is used chiefly for send- I ing, was built in 1900, but the first storm thereafter blew down the ring of tall poles. Two years later four towers of barced joist were built on the bluff and strongly guyed. Since then the sea has made such inroads into the sar.dy cliff of the cape, that several of the guys are now anchored on the beach and it has been thought prob able that sooner or later the company would remove their plant to a more protected site. Chatham is on the ocean side of the cape and so exposed to the elements that structures of strength were necessary*. iceboro Mr. and Mrs. Frank Brown have is sued invitations far the wedding recep tion of their daughter.
