Support President The President spoke amid scenes of patriotic fervor in the crowded con ention hall into which the old Cen sus building had been converted. Col. David J. Palmer, commander-in-chief of the G. A. R., introduced him amid thunderous cheering and informed him that the veterans stood solidly behind the administration’s conduct of the present day foreign problems, and that their sons would support him in any steps he might take. Applause frequently interrupted the President as he spoke to the veterans, their families and friends. He did not touch directly on the European war 1 or on problems growing out of it. but devoted his address to the mission of the United States and the lessons taught by the Civil War. He spoke of the Civil War as one of the few in history of which both sides should be proud. The meeting marked the formal opening of the Grand Army encamp ment, which will continue during the remainder of the week with the great parade and Presidential review to morrow. President’s Address The President's address. In part, follows: "It is a singular thing that men of a single generation should have witnessed what you have witnessed in the crowded 50 years which you celebrate tonight. You took part when you were young men in a struggle the meaning of which, I dare say, you thought would not be revealed during your lifetime, and yet more has happened than in the making of any other nation in the lifetime of a dozen generations. “The nation in which you now live is not the nation for whose union you fought. You have seen many things which have made this nation one of the (Coatiguad on Pago 3—Col. 3) Alexander McRae Captured at Rumford Junc tion and Joseph Jackson at Portland, Tell How Watchman Discovered McRae and Paid for Bravery with His Life Police Say Jackson Shot St. John to Save McRae from Capture Portland, Me., Sept. 28.—That William E. St. John, the aged night watchman in a wholesale and retail hardware store in this city, was killed last night in a pistol duel with one of two Negroes arrested as suspects, apparently was established late today when both men are said by the police to have made a confession. The police gave out the following details of the alleg ed confession: St. John met one of the Negroes, Alexander Mc Rae, as he wras making his rounds, and covering him with a re volver made him throw up his hands. Just as he seized McRae by the collar Joseph Jackson, McRae’s companion, who w'as crouch ing nearby, shot the watchman. St. John turned and opened fire on the Negro, and then two shots in quick succession ended his life. The Negroes had intended to jump from a window on the third floor, wiierc the tragedy occurred. When they left the build ing, they took St. John’s pistol and threw it into an alleyway, where it was found. THE CAPTURE OF JOSEPH JACKSON BY OFFICER BROWN Portland, Me., Sept. 27.—Keeping his prisoner covered all the time with a revolver, and making it clear that the first sign of resistance would be the sig nal for a volley, Special Officer John V. Brown, single-handed and alone, at 3 o'clock this morning routed out of bed and placed under arrest Joseph Jackson, one of the Negroes held in connection with the murder of Night Watchman William E. St. John In the Edwards Walker Co. store last evening. Having forced his prisoner to dress, he march ed him out of the house and up to the police station. Officer Brown was detailed by Chief Bowen at 11.15 to go out in plain clothes on the trail of the two suspected Negroes. He was’ only one of many men assigned to the same duty. Officer Brown went first to Fore street on a tour of inspection and dropped into the restaurant at the corner of Franklin and Fore streets. There he saw two Ne groes, one of them known locally as ‘‘Bogus Bill," and the other a stranger, eating lunch. As he came in, the man behind the counter said, "How do you do, officer.” and Policeman Brown fan cied the strange Negro dropped his head as if avoiding identification. The officer called aside the one of the two men whom he knew and asked him who the strange Negro was. He received the reply that the Negro had been work ing for his informant for six or eight weeks. He accepted this assurance and started out to look further. He laid his course next through the Stroudwater section and then back through Deerings Oaks, but as he went he thought over the Incident in the restaurant, and became more sus picious the more he thought about it. The fact that the Negro’s clothes were dirty made him almost certain that everything was not right. So he de cided to return to the scene of his first encounter. Arriving at the restaurant again about 2.30, he said to the man behind the counter: “Do you know that Ne gro that was in here with Bogus Bill?” "No,” was the reply. "Has he been working for Bogus Bill?” “No.” And then the waiter added that this Negro had been around town throe or four days with another one, a great tall fellow, and that he had seen them together at 6 o’clock that even ing. Officer Brown then went to the wooden three story house at 12 Deer street, which is a boarding house fre quented by Negroes, where he sus pected the man for whom he was (Continued on Page 12—Col. 3) WEEKS AND MANN ARE SPEAKERS AT ST. LOUIS, MO. Missouri Republicans Meet for Prelimina ries of 1916 Campaign —Sen. Weeks’ Sum mary of Situation St. Louis, Sept. 28.—Republican leaders from all parts of Missouri to night attended the banquet given by the state and St. Louis Republican committees as a preliminary to tho campaign of 1916. The principal addresses trere made by United States Senator John W. Weeks of Massachusetts and Repre sentative James R. Mann of Illinois, Republican leader in the House of Representatives. Silence Not Assent Senator Weeks said that while tfl« people were in a state of watchful, patient, sympathetic and hopeful waiting," trying not to embarrass President Wilson in his foreign nego tiations, the silence did not necessa rily mean assent to methods that have been adopted in the negotiations. "The killing by Mexicans of Amer ican citizens in Mexico and on Ameri can soil and the destruction of prop erty owned by Americans in Mexico bring out one of the numerous incon sistencies of the administration,” said Senator Weeks. As a result of the Pan-American conference the admin istration urged Americans to under take enterprises in Central and South American countries. Mr. Bryan even suggested an issue of bonds to aid the development of those countries.

Being "in the money” 44 times in 45 starts and bringing home, 27 firsts out of the total looks like a pretty i good record that Irving Pottle, the I Portland reinsman, has made with his fast stable this year so far and with at least three more weeks left of the j light harness program before the sea- son closes the local man will probably j add a few more shekels to his sea- 1 son’s winnings.

Dr. Kilborn and Jimmy Hicks have led the field home more than once. Twenty-seven firsts, six seconds, eight thirds, three-fourths makes 44 times that a Pottle entry has been "in the money” since the opening of the season at Cornish over a month ago. The only time the Portland driver had an entry unplaced was at Rochester last week in the 2.13 pace when Mary Chantrellee, the handsome black mare from Lewiston, was put out of the N running following an accident.

Supplies were again light, but somewhat heavier than a week ago, when the average supply was about the smallest offered in a single week for a long time. This week most of the stables offered from two to three carloads of green western horses, among which were to be found many excellent heavy horses, as well as those of more medium weight. Sales however were slack and in most sales the closing figure was under what the seller wished to obtain. Sec onds were offered also in larger num bers than a week ago, and there is beginning to lie a number of horses ret’-rned to the sale-stables for imme diate sale from the summer resorts. Such horses have as a rule seen hard service and selling values average low. few speed horses were offered at special sale, and brought fair fig ures, considering general conditions of the trade. The best heavy drafters from 1650 I fi 1900 lbs., sold at a range of $300@375; medium weight, first class drafters from $200 300; heavy second-hand horses of good quality sold from $160 ©225. with cheap horses of this class selling from $25@0; farm chunks from $150 @200. At the City Sale Stable—J. C. Keith, Ste ,-ens A Sweet Horse Co. offered 3 express carloads of green western hor ses fresh from the country, and about 85 seconds. There was also a sale of 74 head of Mexican Burros. Trade was quiet with little change in mar ket conditions from a week ago. \Villiaip Hurwitz sold 2 express car loads of green horses and a number of seconds. Sales were sufficient to make a fairly good clearance as sup plies were light. Prices were easy on average sales. On the '25th of September there was a shipment of 900 remounts for the British army, sailing from the port of Boston to London. This makes a to tal of about 40,000 horses which have been shipped to England for the army since the first of January from Bos ton. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET Features of the Day’s Dealings in All the Leading Stocks New York, Sept. 28.—In its specula tive aspects, most other considerations between lacking today’s market cov ered what has come to be regarded as familiar ground. Specialties, mainly those deriving profits from war con tracts, ascended to higher levels, a few scoring extraordinary gains, only to lose them in large part with start ling rapidity. Trading was on a larger and broad er scale than yesterday’s memorable session, and with the difference that certain old or dormant stocks vied at times with those of recent prominence for supremacy. Advices from Chicago pointing to an early announcement of the terms of the Anglo-French credit gave added strength to the list. In the final dealings, however, the weight of increased offerings overcame the mar ket’s digestive powers and many large gains were reduced, while others were changed to moderate losses. Railroads were again under inter mittent restraint, some leading issues heina from one to two point!. Im- provement In this part of the list was quite general later, but here also profit taking proved effective to the extent of wiping out most gains. Price movements became confusing to the i point of feverishness toward the end, j the closing being distinctly irregular. Total sales amounted to 1,690,000, the j largest volume of business according to available data since the days imme diately preceding the war, when the greater activity was at the expense of quoted values. Chief among the day’s new records was Baldwin Locomotive, which at Its maximum of 150 1-8 showed a gain of 36 3-8, but closed at a net advance of 14 1-4, General Motors up 13 to 175. Industrial Alcohol 7 at "8, Willys Overland 7 at 225, Studebaker 4 3-8 at 146, Bethlehem Steel 3 at 369 and. Pressed Steel Car 7 at 73 718. Colorado Fuel’s sudden rise of al- most 8 points at mid-day to 63 1-2 to the accompaniment of a more mode rate movement in Great Northern Ore revived rumors of a “deal’’ involving these and kindred concerns. United States Steel, with an overturn of 155, 000 shares, closed at 7S 3-4, a loss of 1-8. Bond trading was again very large, with general strength. Final disposal J by the syndicate of the 145,000,000 j New York City bonds purchased early in the year offers proof of the better investment demand. Total sales of bonds, par value, aggregated $5,673, 000. United States bonds were un changed. New York Money Market New York. Sept. 26. Mercantile paper 3$ft33 per cent.

ALLIED fflTSH SEEMS TO REMAIN IN POSITKMR GAINED SATURDAY AND SUNDAY-MANY PRISONERS London, Sept. 2S.—(1.0S P. M.).—The' French are now battering the second line Jbf German defences in Champagne, while hhe British, to their north, apparently ihave been able to crush all German ^counter-attacks. So far as can be ascer tained, the situation on the western 'front as created by the allied offensive k>t Saturday and Sunday is about where It was. The diversion initiated by the German crown prince in the Argonne at «ome places reached the first French line, hut nowhere did the Germans break through. While German prisoners are arriving in france by the trainload, British wounded from Flanders are beginning to reach London. All have the same story to tell. They describe the terrific bombardment of the Allies, before which It seemed im possible that anyone could survive, and the sudden slackening of the fire and the British charge. How It happened that so many un wounded Germans were captured Is puz- zling the public of this country and France. This Is the 63d birthday of Field Mar shal Sir John French. The people are not expecting it to be signalized by any marked fresh advance so soon after the gains already achieved, but these accom plishments have called forth particularly cordial congratulations for the British commander. The fighting in the east still favors the Russians on the southern end of the line, although there is no con firmation of the report that they have reached the important railway junction of Kovel. The most momentous strug gle is still centered on Dvinsk, where it is said the Germans are re-grouping their forces preparatory to another great blow. Bulgaria, though she has mobilized her troops, has not made her next move any clearer. PETROGRAD POINTS TO DOUBLE EFFECT OF ALLIED DASH IN BOTH FBENCH AND RUSSIAN CAMPAIGNS Petrograd, Sept. 28, via London, 2.In j P. JtJ.—'While the Russians have had] a series of important tactical success- j es along almost the entire front, mil itary authorities here lay stress upon1 the greater success of the French and English in their new campaign, esti mating that the equivalent of three! German army corps have been there by thrown out of active service by Russia's western allies. The authori ties expect that the Anglo-French in itiative will spoil the German plans' both as regards Russia and Serbia. The Russians have made gains of ground at several points which ordin-j arily would he regarded as consider- j able, but they are not allowing their attention to be distracted from Dvinsk, which the Germans continue to attack with energy and the Russians to de fend with equal determination. Small German gains in the last fighting were neutraized by splendid trench work during the night following, by which the Kussians were able tu confront their adversaries in the morning with a strong front. The numbers of dead on the tield attested the seriousness of the German losses. Tin German operations in the di rection of Riga are regarded here as demonstrations intended to interfere with the reinforcement of the Russian positions at Dvinsk with troops from the Riga region. The general impression created by the latest reports from this front is that the Russians are fighting bril liantly, steadily and confidently, and that their supplies of ammunition are being delivered in adequate quantities, while the Germans apparently lack the force to. execute their sweeping plans. The authorities here direct at tention to certain details in the re ports as indicating that the German efforts are becoming spasmodic. GERMAN REPORT OF TUESDAY SAYS DASH OF ALLIES STOPPED AND MUCH GROUND REGAINED Berlin, Sept. 28, Via London. 5.28 1\ M.-*The Germans not only have stop ped the general offensive of the allies on the Western front hut by counter attacks have gained considerable ter ritory for themselves, according to to day's official statement by army head quarters.

On the contrary he suffered in many places very con siderable losses besides bringing us an appreciable gain in territory. Prisoners Taken "Our counter-attack resulted In our capturing 20 officers and 750 men, in creasing the number of prisoners taken in this locality to 2397 men, in cluding a. number of officers. Nine ad ditional machine guns were captured. "At Souchez, Angres and Roclin fcourt and also along the entire front from the Champagne to the Argonne, attacks by the French were repulsed without a break. ‘"In the region of Souain, the ene my actually brought forward masses of cavalry, showing a remarkable lack of appreciation of the situation. Nat urally many of them were shot down and the others forced to flee as quick ly as possible. "During the repulse of these attacks the Saxon reserve regiment and the troops of the Frankfort-on-the-Main division especially distinguished them selves. In the Argonne ‘‘In the Argonne. a small advance was made, on our part to improve our position at LaFllle Morte. The move ment brought us the desired result besides securing for us as prisoners four officers an'd 250 men. "On the hill at Combres the enemy's positions were blown up and blocked up yesterday and the day before by exten sive mine explosions. In the Center "Eastern theatre of war: Army group 1 of Field Marshal von Hindenburg—Op- posing forces which were pushed back yesterday on the southwestern front of j Dvinsk attempted to make a stand in a j position situated more to the rear. They j were attacked and repulsed. South of. Lake Drisitiata a cavalry engagement is taking place. "The operations by the army of (Jen. von Eiehborn in the battle of Vilna, j which led to the enemy's being repulsed j across the Lake Maroez-Smorgon-Fisch-' new line, resulted in the capture of a j total of TO officers, 21,90S, men, three cannon. 72 machine guns and large i quantities of baggage, which the enemy was forced to leave behind. An„ inven- i tory of this booty could not be taken until now because of our quick advance. The figures previously reported are not included In those given here. "South of Smorgbn our attack is mak ing progress, Northeast of Wischnew we have broken through enemy posi tions. On this occasion 21 officers and 3.300 men were taken prisoners and nine machine guns captured. Russian Campaign “Army group of Prince Leopold of Bavaria: The bridgeheads east of Bar onovichi are now in our possession after a battle for them. Prisoners to the number of 350 were captured. "Army group of Field Marshal von Mackensen: The situation is unchanged. “The army group of General von Lin singen has forced its way across the Stry, below I_.utsk. Under pressure of this success the Russians are in full re treat north of Dubno along the entire front.” SAY GREECE AND BULGARIA AGREE ON NEUTRAL ZONE Berlin, Sept. 28.— (By wireless to Say ville. N. T.).—The Overseas News Agency stye that, according to reliable infor mation, Bulgaria and Greece have agreed upon the establishment of a neutral zone between these two countries. The sug gestion of a neutral zone, the news agency says, was made by the members of the Greek general staff who acted in concert with King Constantine. The Overseas News Agency adds: "Bulgaria agreed, and there is no doubt that she is ready to yield to Greek wishes about the Serbian territories ot Doira and Gevgeti. This means that the attempts of the Entente allies powers have been frustrated. "English and French officers have been In Salonlki In order to prepare for the landing of Anglo-French troops. Greece, for the time being, is determined to main tain neutrality even in the face of the threat to land troops."

M.—The new offensive movement of the allies has resulted in a further sain in the Ar- j tois region, near Souchez, the French war office announced today. "Additional progress is reported in Champagne. "The German counter-attack in the Argonne is said to have been repulsed. The Germans left the ground before the trenches covered with dead. "The Germans are offering deter mined resistance in Champagne. The positions to which they have retreated are protected by a system of barbed wire entanglements. The text of the communication fol lows: "In the Artois district we made ad- vances yesterday evening and last night we gained ground step by step in the direction of the hill tops to the cast and to the southeast of Souchez. "In the Ghampagne district the Ger mans are offering resistance from cer tain of their positions, where they are protected by concealed barbed wire entanglements. "We have made further progress in the direction of Hill No. 185, which is to the west of the Navarln farm, and in the direction of l.a Justice, which is to the north of Massigee. "In the Argonne the obstinate at tack delivered yesterday by the ene my with six or eight battalions against our first line trenches at LaFille Morte and at Nolante results in a serious check. The counter-attacks made by us during the course of the night mad^ it possible for us to expel the German infantrymen from almost all j the positions they had succeeded in j penetrating. The ground in front of our trenches is covered with dead bod- i ies of the enemy. “The night passed with relative calm along the remainder of the front.” CAPTAIN KNAPP OF PHILADELPHIA j NAVY YARD DEAD Philadelphia, Sept. 28.—Captain John J.

A medical examination might easily j show that every organ of the body is acting, normally but the pallor of the face will usually show that the blood is I thin. This is the root of the trouble. Debility is a loss of vitality, not af- I fecting any one part of the body but the system generally. The blood goes to every part of the body and the use of a blood tonic like Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills quickly tones up the system. The first sign of returning health is a bet ter appetite, improved digestion, a quicker step, brighter eyes, better color in the cheeks. The rich, red blood, reaching every organ and muscle, car ries renewed health and vigor. The nerves are quieted, sleep becomes more refreshing and with persistent treat ment and proper living the debilitated patient Is once more enabled to enjoy life. Tyro useful books, "Building Up the Blood” and "What to Eat” will be sent free on request by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.

RIDGE ROAD The people who were not members of Victor Grange or did not live on the Ridge Road were unfortunate Satur day for only such were included in [the invitation to the Hillside Country Club, It was a great day to begin with, not a cloud in the sky and just enough of a suggestion of autumn to cause one to want to be on the move and to be glad he was still on this earth. About eleven o’clock the guests began to arrive coming in about all manner of conveyances ex cept air craft. The hosts and host esses of the occasion, Mr. and Mrs. B. H. Lawrence, Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Jewell and Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Nye were already at the Club House ready to receive their guests, giving each one a Welcome that made him feel that the Club House and entire grounds were his. at least for one day. For the first hour there was not much doing except dinner preparations by the women and farm gossip by the men, with a con stant looking from the corner of an eye in the direction of the out-of door dinner tables. And they were not to blame either for those tables were worth looking at with both eye.s wide open; they literally groaned with tlie load of good things placed upon them. Sixty persons sat down to eat and rose again (hard work for some this second event) and even then half as many more could have been well fed. A number of the young 'people, and more than one or two, of older years, both men and women, had to be reminded during the dinner hour, that the hosts had gallons upon gal j Ions of ice cream in the shade of ths I Club House. While at the tables mile land half mile runs were suggested in the afternoon events but later, for some peculiar reason, not even a 20 yard dash could get started. Croquet j was enjoyed by young and old but the [greatest attraction for the men seemed to center around the horse-shoe pitch ing. In this contest the interest was so deep that the visitors will not bo surprised to receive in the near fu ture a challenge for another contest. Mr. Jewell had thoughtfully provided a vicirola for the day which was greatly appreciated. Mrs. A. T. Craig, recited by request, “Bite Would Be a Mason.” which was much enjoyed. In the late afternoon the party broke up after giving the hosts and hostesses a rising vote of thanks with three cheers and a tiger added.

DAILY KENNBfiC JOURNAL Entered at the ^urueta Pi second clan mall ESTABLISHED 1825. No notice whatever will be taken of unsigned communications. The Journal cannot be held responsi ble for the preservation or return of j rejected communications. I Address all communications relating to subscriptions and advertisements to Kennebec Journal Company. Publishers, Augusta. Maine. Wednesday, September 29, 1914. “A Casa of Eyo Trouble.” Senator Burleigh's newspaper professes to be in a great state of indication be cause of conditions in certain counties with Democratic sheriffs. We suggest to our down river contemporary that it make an inquiry into conditions in places much nearer home. Such an in quiry if made would be instructive but we have little expectation that it will be made by a Republican newspaper organ. Our Republican friends are constantly demanding the enforcement of the pro hibltary law but they are afflicted with eve trouble when it comes to detecting conditions existing in localities under the control of Republican officials. i We hear much in these days of the survey.” which is a new name for an inquiry into the state of things in a given locality- The Civic league which is in alliance with the Republican party has its headquarters in Waterville. We in vite the Civic league to make a survey of conditions as they exist within easy walking distance of its own office. If prohibition is to be again discussed, why limit the discussion to distant sections Df the State? Our Republican friends, as usual, are trying to give the prohibition wing of the party the idea that in those parts of the State under Republican officials Maine is a prohibition paradise. But that is something that has been tried so often that it is likely to meet with less and less success.—Waterville Sentinel. We have no doubt that the prohibi tory law is being violated in Kenflebec county, as other laws are violated, but we have reason to believe that the business is confined to a very few places and persons who do not tare how they get a dollar so long as they get it. They would steal if if they had a good opportunity, or they would rob a ycjung man or young girl of honor in any other way, if they could capitalize the transaction. These so-called "druggists,” and their part ners. the "bootleggers,'’ and their bosom associates, the while slave coy otes. are natural criminals any way, and bound to be in conflict with law and decency. That is their nature. We have sonic specimens in mind. We have no doubt they are violating the law daily, but we cannot prove it. Now our up-river neighbor speaks as one having knowledge. He pre tends to know. He pretends that one not afflicted with "eye trouble" can see the defiance of law and officers, evidently in Waterville. We suggest to Sheriff Getehell that lie call on the editor of the Sentinel for information. If the Sentinel’s chief knows so much he should be called before the court to fix the guilt of some of these violators. We second the motion for a Civic League survey of Kennebec county. If there is any way to send tile boot leggeis and druggists to ja.l for vio lating the law, we wish to lie taxed toward their board until ihev rot be hind the bars, or promise never to handle another ounce of intoxicating beverage. Let iho Civic League offi ce! a and ths sheriff call on the editor of the Sentinel for the mass of infor mation he has at hand. la Let us urge the county attorney to make use of every fact in the posses sion of this dear lover of prohibitory law. We have not, under Republican rule, eard it charged that liquor sellers a’t;e openly bidding for custom, as in Lewiston and Portland, but we do hear it charged that certain drug stores and pocket peddlers are doing busi ness; let us have them put out of business. We believe it is possible now, to discover every shipment of contraband that comes through the regular channels. With what the Waterville Sentinel knows, and what can be taken from express companies and other sources, it seems unlikely that conviction of some of these of fenders would cost anywhere near the Governor’s estimates of a million or a million and a half. Our up-river neighbor tells its read ers that conditions are bad in Ken nebec county, and sneers that Repub lican officials are not doing their duty. Let us discover the facts. We ask action or statements from county offi cials. Stereopticon Loan Library. The U. S. rublic Health Service be lieves that “Education is the road to sanitary progress.’’ To this end it has established a stereopticon loan library, probably the flrst of its kind, which is daily sending out slides upon the re quest of sanitarians, educators, and other persons interested in the pro mulgation of the doctrine of personal hygiene and public sanitation. The officials of the Nebraska State Fair desired to stage a series of pop ular lectures on hygiene and sanita tion. They applied to the Surgeon General of the United States Public Health Service for slides. Catalogs containing photographs of the slides, and descriptive matter therein, were immediately forwarded to the officials of the Fair, together with a blank on which to make request for various slides. The Fair officials filled out the requisition and returned the catalogs to the Surgeon General. The sltdei were packed and shipped, and when the lectures shall have been given they will be re-packed and returned to the Burgeon General. In this way a large munber of people will -ftaye received this important information in a pleas ing manner. The stereopticon loan library covers a wide range of subjects, from sani tary conditions in Alaska, to yellow fever. There are special collections on the diseases of children, hookworm, leprosy, malaria, milk production, mouth hygiene, pellagra, plague, rural schools, smallpox, tropical diseases, tuberculosis, and typhoid fever. Each of the sets is in duplicate and in the case of the more frequently used sildes there are several sets, so that the applicant will not be disappointed in his selections. Not only are the services of the stereopticon loan libra ry utilized by many private individ uals, but the officers of the Public Health Service and State and local health officials throughout the country are making use of this logical system of public health education. A church society or class might do worse than u arrange a series of such demonstrations for the Winter months in any Maine city. An unusual honor has fallen to the lot of Joe Tarr. We mean Joe Tarr of Lewiston, the man with varied talents and many friends. Prom Boston a tele phone message came over the wires last Saturday to George T. Dinsmore, of Au burn, the wire chief of the New England Telephone Exchange, and it was fraught with mighty meaning. It simply said, “Come to Boston Monday to take part in the exhibition telephone talk with San Francisco. Bring Joe Tarr along with you. We mean Joe Tarr of the mighty voice. Boston and all her people stand ready to welcome Joe!” Then fol lowed Interesting developments and thev came fast and faster. The wire chief summoned Joe and cautiously imparted his instructions. Joe must prepare for the event and do so at once. To this Joe demurred and pleaded inability to stand the strain of an admiring multitude.— Lewiston Journal. We protest the selection of Joe Tarr for an exhibition talk between Boston and San Francisco. On the face of tbs scheme is stamped a purpose to deceive. The people of the country will be given to understand that a man (a man from Maine) has stood in Boston and made his voice heard in San Francisco OVER WIRES, and, of course, what one man has done can be done again. But knowing Joe Tarr, we have easily seen the depth of the deception. They have called Joe Tarr to Boston and lie will, ostensibly, con verse over a telephone line but, as a matter of fact, he will not use the wires at all. He doesn't need a wire for that distance—unless the wind is against him. It is beginning to look as though the fight for collector of the port of Port land will simmer down to Dr. Charles M. Sleeper of South Berwick, member of Gov. Curtis’ Council, and Sheriff William M. Pennell of Brunswick. The sheriff is considered entitled to whatever Cumber land can give him in the way of support. Exchange. Of course it should be Pennell; He that is faithful in a few things should be made ruler over many. The faith ful manner in which Sheriff Pennell has performed his duty in making prohibitory law a farce should entitle him to anything in the gift of the Democratic party. The Democratic tariff must be re revised. The Democratic party must eat crow, or the crow will eat it. The Democratic tariff has failed miserably; to admit it, is fatal to the party; to go on, is disastrous to the country. De mocracy faces a problem bigger than foreign policy in the next Congress. No amount of smoke and hoorah can befog the constantly growing deficit before the people who are paying the hills. Our idea of an interesting spectacle is' Old Boreas, in one of his playful moods, picking the roof off a chicken-coop, car rying the said roof 100 feetW so aiross the landscape, and then dashing it to pieces against the rock. As for the own i er of the roof, the words of his mouth and {he meditations of his heart on such an occasion are not fit for publication.— Manchester Union. Never mind about the owner, Colonel —what about the poor chickens? It is a relief to hear from Biddeford again—newspapers have arrived. We feared Deak Wormwood and Gloomy Gus had been cut off by the storm or had been captured by a Zep or a U submarine.

Of all the tribes that lightly tread on air You are the friendliest beyond com pare; Familiar sparrow, whom the vulgar herd Of men call pest and impudence a-wing. I Your eye’s tail up, your tiny legs aslant, A most persisting, roguish mendicant. You skip about our crumbs soliciting. Rich colored warblers, now, are fair to And lulling sounds their singing to the ear. But your low cheeping is more dear to me As on my window ledge you stand sans fear. Y'our cheery, chattering, yotir air care free Dark thoughts dispel and make my soul’s sight clear. —J. J. M„ in the New York Sun. The storm on Sunday was so severe in Boothbay Harbor that the Islander was unable to make landings at either Squirrel Island or Ocean Point and excursionists who had been left there in the morning were obliged to remain over night. The wind was so fierce Monday morning also that the tug Madelyn, which started from Bath for the Sheepscot river for a barge of box boards for the box factory, was obliged to return, the seas in Hockomock be ing too rough for the boat to face. The famous old State of Maine building at the St. Louis World’s fair, which for the past 10 years has been used as a hunting and fishing lodge near Hollister, Mo., has been purchased by interested parties and will be used as a school for deserving children of the Ozarks. "The object is to teach deserving poor girls and boys of the hills to become good housewives and efficient farmers,” says the Rev. Charles R. Nisbet, one of the trustees. —i The $6000 fire which razed the two tenement house owned and occupied by Joseph Curtis and Maurice H. Whe lan at Biddeford Sunday noon, was discovered by a Boston man who was making a trip from that city to Port land by auto. He discovered the roof all ablaze as he came down Elm street, and at the corner of Beacon avenue, on which the building is located, be met Jeremiah Crowley, a local druggist. He stopped Mr. Crowley and told him that Saturday night he had dreamed vividly that he discovered a house ablaze while making a tour in bis au tomobile. "I plainly saw,” he said, "the fire on the roof and ran to the dwelling where I found two men read ing newspapers in the kitchen. I am going to that house to see if the rest Hf my dream comes true.” Accom panied bv Mr. Crowley he ran to the building where he found John Whelan and Maurice (5. Whelan sitting in the kitchen reading the Sunday papers. The alarm was given and the fire de partment responded to the call. __ A strawberry plant bearing several buds and a half-grown berry was re ceived Tuesday morning at the Jour nal office bv mail from S.

The whole left side of the ■corridor is devoted to department offi 1 ces, the selectmen, board of health, su perintendent of schools and road com missioners, in order from the door. The name of each department is painted in large gilt letters on the door. On the right of the main en 1 trance is the treasurer's office, and beyond it a large store room for sup plies and records, and two toilets. In the rear, at the end of the corridor is the assessors' office, which will also be used as a room for public hearings. A private system of telephones com municating between all the rooms is also Installed. Not all the new fur niture has arrived yet, but when it is installed, the town fathers will have a fitting place to do business. Unheralded and unfeted, Josef Hoff mann, one of the world’s greatest pian ists. was a guest in Portland Sunday night, says the Express. Mr. Hoff mann, accompanied by his wife and lit tle daughter, came through by yacht and automobile from their summer home at Northeast Harbor, planning to spend the afternoon and night in Port land for the express purpose of hearing the Kotzschmar Memorial Organ play ed by Municipal Organist Will C. Mac farlane. In this he was disappointed, as he did not learn until his arrival in Portland of Mr. Macfarlane's absence to attend and play at the Panama-Pa cific Exposition. Mr. Hoffman and his family were guests at the New Chase House, where they remained quietly during the day and Sunday night, and they left by automobile Monday morn ing for Boston and Scituate, Mass., where they will spend a few days be fore returning to their American home at Aiken, S. C. The Hoffmann's had a thrilling experience after leaving their home on Mt. Desert Island. They start ed for the mainland in a yacht but ran Into a storm, were buffeted and drenched by the waves and finally had to land on a deserted island, where they built bonfires to dry their cloth ing. This was Mr. Hoffmann’s first summer in America, and his wife, who is an American woman, was very anx ious to have him enjoy It. But the weather conditions nearly thwarted her desires In this line, and the cele brated pianist went home from his first summer on the Maine coaBt wondering If the season just passed were a fair specimen of the American climate.

Last Monday, from a plot of about 1-6 of an acre, we picked 92 boxes, and did not clear it all. I consider it the most valuable raspberry we have, and I grow five kinds for market. Would be glad to have you show the branch to any one interested in rasp berries.” The following clipping from Mon- day's Le Messager is of interest to many people in Maine and Massachu setts: “All the musicians of St. Ce cilia’s Band have been notified to re- j turn their instruments with the least possible delay to the director, Wilfrid Sirois, who it seems, must send them to a house in Boston. This signifies the end of this musical organization which has certainly made its mark in the musical world of New England and even of Canada during its 18 years of existence. St. Cecilia's Band was j unique in its organization, and taken into account the youthfulness of Its members, there was not its superior in 1 the matter of execution in the country. Its founder, Rev. Kr. Aymon, put his heart and soul into its organization, I and his work was effectively continued j by Wilfrid Sirois, one of the oldest of j the members. Illness, however, has forced Mr. Sirois to take a long rest, i The news of the breaking up of St. Ce- cilia's Band will he received by many i with regret.” Light and Airy A Topsy-Turvey Summer.

Charleston Grange. In spite of the inclement weather Charleston Grange held one of the most successful fairs in its history. If it had not been for the rain that fell in torrents Tuesday that caused a post ponement, the receipts would have been doubled and the exhibits much larger and more numerous. As it was the exhibit of cattle was such that any town might well be proud of it and it would have done credit to any State fair.

The music was ‘ia clwxe Of Mrs. J5. W, IJfcggett* Editor’s Letter Box Lewiston Editor Journal: Whether Lewiston is the hot hed of iniquity that certain local com mentators say that it is or not, one fact antecedent to and underlying it admits of no debate, and that is, that the people of that locality are wholly responsible for existing conditions. The very class of men that are de nouncing the Governor of this state for not intervening in a local situation have been large and responsible fac tors in creating conditions which they now deplore and their ready willing ness to amend a bad situation at the expense of others is not without its elements of irony. The truth of the matter is, that Lewiston through its organs of public education and political direction has sacrificed the ends of social and econ omic existence to politics,—to means of public action perverted to small ends. Without reopening wounds in pro cess of healing, yet guarding against the leadership of men largely instru mental in producing them, it suffices to say that if public attention and political action had been honestly di rected to the local situation instead of to National or Exterior issues re mote from it, the policy for which the reformers of Lewiston now stand for would have prevailed. Their failure to support Gov. Haines is not to be excused by attacks on Gov. Curtis, nor can the change of heart experienced by them be expect ed to have instant effect on His Ex cellency. The windows of the reformers of Lewiston are now open to the State House; In 1914 the shutters were on and securely fastened against any ad mission of light and leading from that source. The issues in the election of 1914 were clear cut and unconfused to the ordinary understanding especially on the rum question. Gov. Haines by record and confirming declarations presented the matter in the clearest light and the Democratic party by its candidate for Governor joined issue by taking diametrically opposite ground and the Democratic candidate was elected. Upon the assumption that the men responsible for this result didn’t know the consequences of their acts, a mod erate measure of regret is permissible, but on the assuniption that they were political experts, as before the elec tion they claimed to be, there may be some reluctance to accept their pres ent leadership upon proofs of former folly, now repented of in terms of blood and tears. Nothing happens without a cause. For a period of 10 years the people of Lewiston and vicinity have been fed on politics.’’ morning, noon and night, as if no other agency of popular education were worth considering. The present situation is the logical and necessary result of that unwise system of public leadership. J. I. WOODUl’RY, Augusta. Sept. 27th. 1915.

JOURNAte*»WANT AD8 X BRING JE8ULTS Tffy ONE ANO SEE .-wt tj*' •I MR. TRACY ACCEPTED THE GOVERNOR’S RE QUEST FOR MORE Governor Curtis answered the open communication from X. B. Tracy of Au burn to him, published in Monday's Lewiston Journal. In his letter the Governor invited the Auburn man tb re ply. Mr. Tracy accepts the invitation and his answer follows: To Editors of the Lewiston Journal: Please allow me to use space in your valuable paper in which to reply to Gov. Curtis as he has so kindly requested me to do. Auburn, Sept. 24, 1915. To His Excellency, Oakley C. Curtis, Governor of Maine; Hon. Sir,—Having read your kind reply to my open letter of the 18th, I hasten to reply to your favor published In the Jour nal and other papers of the State on Sept. 23, as you so courteously requested and for which please accept my thanks for the confidence you placed In my abili ty to further enlighten you In regard to your power to enforce the laws. I must confess I was grieved at, what seemed to me, a very weak excuse ou your part for not attempting to fulfill your oath of office. If you wished to fulfill that oath and honestly strived to have the law en forced, why did not you ask and insist upon the last Legislature making such provisions as you claim you ought to have in order to do your duty? You had ample chance to appeal to that body if you so wished. You then knew the situa tion. as well as at the present time, and I think no one is to blame but yourself in that direction. I nope it is not your personal wish to evade the law by offering so many ex cuses on all points. l’ossibly it may be your intentions to carry out your belief as stated in public before you were elected: 'THAT YOU Dll) NOT BELIEVE IN PROHIBITION, BUT DID BELIEVE IN LOCAL OP TION.” Now I should infer from this simply that you believed in practically free rum and not temperance. If such is the case, it need be no surprise to the people If you put forward weak excuses in favor of nullification of law. If this be a fact it grieves me sorely that a Governor of our noble State should throw his intluence towards such a class of criminals who are striving to ruin men, women and even children for the selfish gains from money squandered, homes laid waste, life destroyed, and every sacred thing dishonored. To enforce all laws costs money, but If you wish to save money why not com pel the sheriffs and their deputies to do their duty. THE PEOPLE ARE PAY ING THEM TO DO THIS WORK. If they enforced the law you could save this great expense which seems to be such an 1 obstruction to the performance of your 1 duty. If you honestly wish to see the laws enforce you can compel the sheriffs and county attprneys to get on to their jobs by bringing them before the court and have them fined or Imprisoned, and their bonds forfeited to the State. If you are sincere in this desire, order your attorney general to proceed against them. If this fails then resort to a special ses sion of the Legislature. This you CAN DO, and you won't be put in Jail for it, either. The expense of an extra session of the Legislature would be but a drop in the bucket compared with the amount the present reign of nullification is costing business men of our cities in the loss of trade, poor bills—in fact affecting all classes of business excepting the rum. seller, the gambling hells and brothels. 1 believe it has already cost the business men of Lewiston and Auburn, also, over 1$100,OW during the past year. As to your question of what tier cent, of the people would stand an assessment to pay for an extra session of the Legis lature, 1 will say every Christian church i member and every law-abiding citizen would gladly do so if the sale of rum could be stopped. In regard to calling out the militia, you say it would cost the Htate S2.no.fi5 tier day. As to this I pre sume you are correct, as I have not seen the last report of the adjutant generals. Further you say that the conslltutio.i would not allow you to draw money to support the militia, that you would be lined and sent to jail for issuing money not provided hv the Legislature. That, in my opinion, is a poor excuse as the law of necessity would govern sucli 1 a case. If an armed invasion of Maine I should come suddenly, I suppose you would wait until the legislature met a year from next winter to make the nec j essary appropriation to enable you to maintain the militia to protect the peo pie, after the enemy had captured the whole State. This would be in accord with your idea. You also quote from sec j tion 12, article 5, part first, of the consti i tution of Maine, which says: "He Ithe Governor] SHALL TAKE CARE THAI' THE LAWS BE FAITHFULLY EX ECUTED.” You say there is consider able doubt as to what this means. You say it does not mean that you shall en force the law, but you shall sit and see i the law executed. The way'wthe present sheriffs are en I forcing theHpws you grind out reminds me oJm yodng minister who preached a long, *ne sermon one Sunday. After I naming his text he said he had forgotten just what chapter and book and ver3e the text was In, but it was in the New Testament. After the sermon an older and wiser preacher accosted him ami said: “Brother, you did not find that 1 text in the Bible?" “Why, sure I did.” 1 replied the young divine. The elder one said: “Brother, you go home and you will find your text in such a book and chapter of Josephus.” Now, your Ex cellency, if you will look in Webster's Dictionary you will find that the word means practically ENFORCEMENT as 1 telates to the EXECUTIVE: Having the quality of executing or performing: as, I executive power of authority, an execu tive office. Hence, in government, exec utive is used in DISTINCTION FROM LEGISLATIVE and JUDICIAL. The bodv that deliberates and enacts laws is legislative: the body that judges or ap plies the laws is the judicial; the body or person who carries the laws into effect, or superintends the ENFORCEMENT of THEM is EXECUTIVE. 1 You will please note that execute means enforcement! I trust you will now see your way to command a thorough enforcement, in stead of hunting for excuses. If you are a man of backbone and not a political coward, you will do something to save vourself and your party from utter de feat In 191B. I do not wish to enter into further controversy on this subject, but as you invited me to reply I have done so out of honor to the office you hold. Thanking you again for your courtesy, I am, I Yours respectfully, X. B. Tracy. 1 Another attempt was made early Sunday morning to burn the barn in i Stillwater avenue, Bangor, owned -by M. F. Brackett, a chief’s call being sent in. Fire Chief Curran sent the auto truck and Hose 5 and the blaze was extinguished quickly. The chief found that, as was the case on the occasion of an attempt to bum the barn h few weeks ago. the fire was started in a sill. Whether this is a profound joke on the part of some resident of the vicinity, who likes to see the fire department run, or revenge for some fancied wrong, is a matter to be discovered later. Fire Chief Curran has notified the State insur ance commissioner, and an Investiga tion will be made at once. The value of the property stored in the barn by Mr. Brackett is not large. Mrs. John R. "Allen, inatron at Pur ington hall, Farmington, has received news of the death of her uncle, Adel bert A. Simonds of Chester, X. H. Mr. Simonds is also a brother of Mrs. W. C. Rogers of Patten, the mother of Dr. Justin X. Rogers who was killed at Lovell’s Crossing Sept. 16th. Mr. Simonds was in feeble health and it is thought the news of the tragic death of his nephew, Dr. Rogers, hastened the end. He was aged TO years and wa§.^ .member _ way running from Portland to Bruns-J wlek and declared to be one of the' finest roads In the country, was ofll-l dally completed and opened to traffics' Saturday. Hon. Philip J. Deering, chairman of the Maine State High-: way Commission, was the first man to drive over the completed thoroughfare. The road is built entirely of bltumin-' ous macadam of the finest type of construction and is a section of ono of the most Important arteries of trav el In Maine. It Is a pflrt of the coast highway to Bath, Rockland, and all .64 the shore cities and resorts, and id also one of the units of the Portland, Brunswick, Augusta, Watervllle and Bangor State highway. It passes through the towns of Falmouth, Cum berland, Yarmouth, Freeport and Brunswick and skirts the shore of Casco bay for 12 miles, one of the most beautiful rides in New England. The cost of the highway was divided between the Federal Government and the State, the expense to the lattw* being only the equivalent of an inw prived gravel road, the Federal gov. ernment paying for the added cost of the bituminous macadam. The high way is one of about a dozen different types of construction which the Fed eral government is building in various parts of the United States as an expe riment. It will be maintained by the Maine State Highway Commission, but owing to its permanence of con struction this item is expected to be a comparatively small one. From reports received from outside of Maine it is confidently expected that the highway will prove a tremendous attraction to summer tourists and in directly will bring many additional motorists into the State. With the completion of the Portland and Saco highway early next summer, Maine will have a magnificent boulevard penetrating for nearly 100 miles into the very heart of the State.

DETERM1MED.&TAND MADE BY GREECE NOT TO AEEOW PASSAGE FOREIGN TROO^THROUGH HER TERRITORY

Position Unalterable Until Troops of Bulgaria i Are Demolished—Trend of Opinion in Greece Does Not Favor Strict Allegiance to Serbia under All Circumstances—Rumania’s Place in Present Turmoil Tierlin, Sept. 28.—(By Wireless to. Sayville, N. Y.).—According to the _ Overseas News Agency Greece has as sured S«>r'nia she will resist the pass age of foreign troops through Greek territory. The news agency says: "Reports from the Balkans say that the Greek minister to Serbia called on the Serbian prime minister and told him that Greece had decided to offer determined resistance to the passage of foreign troops through Greek territory. "Budapest newspapers say that the Serbian minister at Sofia, Teholak An titch, told Premier Kadoslavoff of Bul garia, that he would depart on leave of absence, owing to ill health. The J premier told the Serbian minister that1 leave of absence had been granted to; Bulgarian consuls in Macedonia." The allusion to the passage of for eign troops through Greek territory probably refers to recent reports that; if Bulgaria should attack Serbia the Entente allies would send troops to Greece. GREEK POSITION DETERMINED IN CIRCUMSTANCES London. Sept. 28.—(Noon)—."The pa-| cific assurances of the Bulgarian min-: ister at Athens has not had the effect of altering the determined position of Greece, which nothing short of Bul garian demobilization can alter,” says Reuters correspondent at Athens. "The victory of the allies in the champagne came at the right moment to dispel the last vestige of sympathy for the Central Powers, which have been losing ground since the Bulga rian mobilization. The Greek mobili zation has had a discouraging effect on the Germans here. According to trustworthy news from Serbian sour ces, the Austro-German forces concen trated at the Serbian frontier, along the Pancsova-Orsova line do not ex ceed 300,000 men. They are composed mainly of old men and youth, al 1 though they are provided with pow erful artillery. “The projected attack against Ser bia is believed to have been necessar ily postponed." PRESS COMMENT FROM GERMANY ON BALKAN MOVES Berlin, Sept. 28.—(By wireless to Say ville)—The overseas News Agency says: “The Athens correspondent of the Lo kal Anjeiger reports that he is able to confirm the rumor that Premier Veni zelos of Greece failed in the negotia tions which he attempted recently to open with the Rumanian government. This is considered as a definite indica z- tion of Rumania's attitude. “The correspondent adds that public opinion in Greece is being manifested more strongly against a literal inter pretation of the Serbo-Greek compact (obliging Greece to support Serbia in' V^ •■as«* of attack by another Balkan state.) Greece has been released from this ar rangement by the action of Serbia. "The Athens correspondent of the Vossische Zeitung. says that King Con stantine of Greece consulted H. Gouna ris. former premier, who is an advo cate of strict neutrality, before sign ing the mobilization order.’’ The Overseas News Agency says that the Greek embassy in Berlin has issued orders that all Greeks liable to mili tary service shall call at the embassy for instructions. A STARTLING VERSION OF ACT OF BULGARIA Baris, Sept. 28, 6.15 A. >1.—The Bul garia cabinet has agreed with Germany, the Rome correspondent of the Petit Parisien says he has learned from a former Rumanian minister, that Bul garia shall mobilize only four divis ions to watch Rumania. This will be done, it is said, to avoid action which might justify Greece in feeling that she was called to intervene under the term of the treaty of alliance with Serbia. Meanwhile, the Petit Parisien’s cor respondent asserts.

About 7.15 while he was working he heard cries from a clump of bushes about six rods from tlie road, which caused him to think there w’as a young crow in dis tress. He made investigation and was surprised to find the baby, kicking and crying piteously. He took the child to the home of Miss Nellie Smith, assistant librarian in the Dyer Libra ry and shortly after Dr. Stickney was called. It is expected the baby will survive unless pneumonia sets in. It is believed the child was left in the bushes but a short time as he would have perished with cold had he been there during the night. City Marshal Justus B. Cobb was notified and he made investigation and found carriage tracks which had come from the direction of Old Orchard, leading to the place where the child was found. No one on the Old Orchard road saw anyone pass this morning. The baby mu6t have been thrown Into the bushes about* daylight.' The child Is handsome, and its clothes were of the finest quality. He had evidently nad the best of care. Mrs. Charles Batchelder of the Old Orchard road will take the child and keep It until its parents are discover ed or until some disposition is made of it. The people in the vicinity of the Old Orchard road are much in censed over the desertion of the child and will urge the police department to use every possible means to apprehend the parties who so cruelly deserted It. WIFE OF HENRY CABOT LODGE DIES TUESDAY Xahant, Mass., Sept. 28.—The sud den death of Mrs. Henry Cabot Lodge, wife of Senator Lodge, at her home here last night, was announced today. Mrs. Lodge was 65 years of age. Death resulted from heart disease. Mrs. Lodge was the daughter of Rear Admiral Charles Henry Davis, U. S. X., and was horn at Cambridge in 1859. She was married to Senator Lodge immediately after his gradua tion from Harvard in 1871. During the thirty years that Sena tor Lodge has been in public life, Mrs. Lodge had divided her time between her home on the rocky promontory jutting into Massachusetts Bay and the winter residence in Washington. OFFER BRAVES FIELD FOR HARVARD-YALE GAME IF NECESSARY i Boston, Sept. 28.—An offer of the free use of Braves' Field, the home I grounds of the Boston National League baseball team, for the annual i football came between Harvard and I Yale on Not. id, was made today to Fred W. Moore, graduate manager of the Harvard Athletic Association, by James E. Gaffney, president of the Boston club. It became known today that there was a possibility that the football con test might not be staged in he Har vard stadium owing to the withhold ing by the city authorities of permis sion to erect temporary wooden i stands which would increase the nor mal seating capacity of 25.000 to more than 40,000. Braves' Field has a seat ing accommodation for 45.000. It had hoen suggested that if the erection of the temporary stands was j not allowed, the game might be play ed in the Yale bowl at Xew Haven. Last year's game was at Xew Haven 1 and under the alternating arrange ment this season s game was to have been played here. Tli" building commissioner stipulates that concrete fireproof stands he built, and the Harvard Athletic au thorities declare there is not time for such construction. Graduate Manager Moore said this afternoon he had received Mr. Gaff ney's letter and while he appreciated it. the offer undoubtedly could not bo accepted. Ti t re is a rule in Harvard athletics that all college games must be played i on the college grounds, with the ex ception of a possible tie in the base ball series with Yale. All football games since 1894 hate been played on college gridirons. MARRIED PENOBSCf >T. Bangor—Sept. 25. Xoalt I. Edminster anrl Nora E. Powers. Brewer—Sept. 27, and Lizzie Gray. Louis L.

UNITED STATES WILL SEEK DR. DUMBA’S SAFE CONDUCT THRDUCH EUROPE ON RETURN Action of American Government Decided upon by Advices from Ambassador Penfiield Sig nifying Compliance of Austria to Recall Am bassador—U. S. Will Favor Dr. Dumba’s Re quest without Waiting Actual Receipt of Aus trian Note Washington, Sept. 2$.—Dr. Constan tin Theodor Dumba, the ambassador from Austria, telegraphed the State De partment today from the summer em bassy at Lenox, Mass., that he had been ordered home by his government and asked that a safe conduct be arranged for him. To Facilitate Return In the light of advices from American Ambassador f’enfield at Vienna that the Austrian foreign office had given in j formal assurances that Dr. Dumba would be recalled as asked by President I Wilson, the State Department construed Dr. Dumba's dispatch of today as a not ification that official action has been taken by Vienna and will arrange for his safe conduct without waiting for I formal notice from the Austrian foreign office. This action is considered by the American government as closing the incident Dr. Dumba made himself un acceptable to this government when he attempted to transmit through James F. J. Archibald, an American newspaptr correspondent, a report to his foreign office which disclosed his participation in plans to cripple American munitions I plants by strike. President's Insistence British agents found the proofs on Archibald at Falmouth. The American government cancelled Archibald's pass ports and demanded the recall of the ambassador. A proposal that Dr. Dum ba quit the Pnited States on leave of absence was unsatisfactory, and Presi dent Wilson insisted on his recall. Understood to Be Final I In his conversation with Ambassador Penfield, the Austrian foreign minister. is understood to have told Mr. I’eufield that Dr. Dumba’s recall was as a matter of course, final. The Stat.« Ttcvartment understands Dr. Durnol will sail Oct. Z. All the papers and documents carried by Archibald reached the department by mail today from Ambassador Page in London. Others Involved Acting Secretary Polk said that virtu ally all of importance had been publish ed. Copies have been given to the de partment of justice to determine if there I shall be any action against other indi viduals involved. State department offi cials would not say whether there would be any step taken in the ease of Archi bald, Captain von Pa pen, the German military attache, or Consul General von Nuber of Austria. No difficulty is expected in getting saTe conduct for Dr. Duroba front the Allies.

BOSTON LIGHTSHIP RAMMED BY STEAMER QUANTICO ANB ASKS AIB Poston Sept. lv—The Boston light ship was rammed by the coastwise steamer Quantice Tuesday night and had a hole smashed in her sid> two feet above the waterline. The Quantice outward hound for Philadelphia with a few passengers and a ceneral cargo sustained only slight damages, according to radio messages which she sent to her agent here. After standing by for a time to Ionrn the extent of the lightship's tnju-ies. the steamer proceeded for Philadelphia. As a precautionary measure the Iiahtsh p asked for assistance from this city. In the absence of the coast guard cutter Gresham. wide' was cruising more than three hour# sail from the lightship, the lighthouse fen der Mayflower and the naval tug Sioux which were tied up at the Charles town navy yard, were ordered to go out to help the men on the floating lea con. The Stony Beach lifesa\ers also set out in their powerful motor heat to lend a hand to the crew of the lightship in effecting temporary repairs. The weather was clear with a mod erate sea and it was believed that in the nrevailing conditions, the beacon, which guards the outer entrance of Boston hcrbor, would he able to re main on her station until a relief light ship could take her place. The cause of the accident was not civrr. in the radio messages. ALL WAR NEWS IN BRIEF FORM FROM REPORTS Hard and furious fighting still char acterized the united efforts of French and British to break through the Herman lines on the Western front The allied forces the French war of fice announces, continue to make gains of ground and to add to their captures of men, guns and stores. "Foot by foot as the official com munication reads, the French are making progress to the east of touches. important territory from a strategical point of view and have likewise continued their advance in Champagne, ft contains the significant statement that among the Germans taken prisoner were men of the guard who had been brought back from the Russian front a few days ago. This would seem to indicate that the Aus tro-Germans have been compelled to weaken to some extent their Eastern battle front in order to reinforce those sections of the Western line which th» Allies are attacking with heavy guns, rapid firors and the bayonet. Field Marshal Sir John French re ports the capture of powerful Ger man defences around Loos, where the number of prisoners taken by the British has now reached 3000. 40 ma chine guns being taken and many de stroved. The British have captured the first and second lines and are heav ily engaged in an attack on the third. The Allied trenches in the Argonne are being violently bombarded by the guns (if the German Crown Prince, hut no attack by infantry has been at tempted Some of the first line trenches taken from the French by the Germans on Monday have been retaken by means of hand grenades 1'(tails from unofficial sources of the heavy bombardment that preceded the alhed attack Saturday describe the Ger man lines as smothered in dust under the hail of shells, their trenches melted away and their wire entanglements destroyed. When the French ceased their shelling of the trenches in Champagne and charg ed the German trenches they found the Germans stupefied by the effects of the artillery fire, gunners being mixed up with infantrymen and alt of them hud dled around the field pieces. On the eastern front the Russians near Pevir.sk are declared by Bedlin to have attempted to recapture ground lost to Field Marshal Von Hindenburg Monday, but their efforts were unavailing. Pro gress is recorded for the Germans, who are still driving the Russians from the Vilna sector, and for those who are en gaged in Yolhynia. In this latter region Berlin says the army groups of Gen. Von Lingensen have crossed the river below the fortress of Lutsk and that the Russians north of Pubno are in retreat along the whole front. Various reports are in circulation re specting the trend of events in the Bal kans. One of these is to the effect that Greece has informed Serbia that she will resist the passage of foreign troops through Greek territory. Another says that Bulgaria and Greece are reported to have agreed to the establishment of a neutral zone between the two countries. NEGRO WHO KILLED WIFE IN QUARREL IS SENTENCED FOR LIFE Hartford, Conn., Sept. 2S.—Marshall S.

This nation was from the beginning a spiritual enterprise, and you have seen the spirits of t’-, two once divided sections of this co ..try absolute ly united.

"This is a miracle of the spirit so far as national history is concerned. This is one of the very few wars in which in one sense everybody engaged may take pride. Some wars are to he regretted, some wars mar the annals of history but some wars contrasted with those make those annals distinguished, show that the spirit of man sometimes springs to great enterprises that are even great er than his own mind had conceived. You set the nation free for that great career of development of un hampered development, which the world has witnessed since the Civil war But for my own part 1 would not be proud of the extraordinary physical development of this country, of its extraordinary development in material wealth and financial power, did I not believe that the people of the United States wished all of this power devoted to ideal ends.

Eight officers and 379 marines have been saved thus far. "Hear Admiral Rubin De Cervin is among the dead. The fire was pure ly accidental.” Built in 1904 The Bendette Brin was a vessel of 13.427 tons and in peace times carried a complement of 720 men. She was completed in 1904 at a cost of $5, 750.000. The battleship was of the pre Dreadnought class. Rear Admiral Ba ron Ernesto Rubin De Cervin was in command of the vessel. SHAW READY TO SUPPORT MR.

Now Tork, Sept. 26.—The stork ex change was again the scene of excited trading tcd&\, with further spectacular advances in war.sharps and a reaction ary trend in investi^tr.t issues. Dealings ,in the first hour totalled almost 400,000 shares, somewhat Under yesterday's high level, but sufficient to tax the machinery of the exchange to its utmost. The ticker was seven minutes behind the actual business on the floor and quo tations of bonds were again delayed in the efforts of the official reporters to keep pace with the high pressure of op erations. Commission houses were again conspicuous in the buying, indicating a continuance of the .inquiry for special ties from out-of-town points. Among ^he high records of the first hour were Baldwin Locomotive, which added 12 1-4 to its previous price at 126: General Motors 13 at 375; tVillys-Over land T at 225; Bethlehem Steel 7 at 365, and Crucible Steel 2 at 103i. Elsewhere in the same group advances of 2 to 4 pointsr were made, some of the minor industrials showing renewed prom inence. U. S. Steel was again under sell ing prrssure. yielding a point from its best price of the early trading. Many of the high priced railway shares fell under yesterday's minimums and Missouri, Kansas A- Texas issuer were lower as a result of the receivership an nouncement. New features of strength developed during the mid-session, Colorado Fuel coming into prominence with an advance of 7 points to 62 3-4, its highest quotation in more than lr' years. Great Northern Ore. Pressed Steel Car and th» coppers moved to higher levels, the railway list also improving. Trading in the second and third hours showed a steady increase, sales of 900,0C0 shares up to 1 o'cIock being almost as large as the turn-over for the same pe riod yesterday. A higher average of prices was made later on news that the terms of the An glo-French loan had been agreed to. Some specialties added to their extra -ordinary advances, notably Baldwin Lo comotive, which ascended to loo hut sufl 1 deRly broke in jumps of one to five points to 123. This caused some sharp reactions in other parts of the list and resulted in an irregular close. Total sales of 1,695,000 shares were larger than those of any day immediately preceding the war, but the heavy dealings of that period were accompanied by severe declines. MAYOR ROTHS IS ASSURED OF VICTORY BY VOTE IN SAN FRANCISCO S&n Francisco, Sept. 2S.—With ap proximately half of the votes cast in today's pi unary election counted. May or James Roths. Jr., has piled up a lead so commanding that his election as a candidate for the mayoralty seems assured and his supporters claimed his election under the state primary laws which provide that a candidate secur ing a majority of all votes cast at a primary election automatically is elec ted to office. Eugene E- Schmitz who va sdeposed as mayor of San Francisco during the graft trials in 1906-7 was second in the running late tonight and unless Roths was elected it is probable that these two will be the opposing candi dates the ejeetjop next Novegiher. 38TH ANNUAL EXHIBITION OF FARMERS AND MECHANICS’ CLUB HELD AT RICHMOND TOESDAY Richmond, Me., Sept. 2S.—(Special).— The 3isth annual exhibition of the Farm ers' and Mechanics' Club was held today at the fair grounds on the Alexander road two miles from this village.

V. Those who started the day with a backache, stiff legs, arms and mus cles, and an aching head tworn out be fore the day began because they were in and out of bed half a dozen times at night) are appreciating the perfect test, comfort and new strength they obtained from Doctor Pierce's An-uric Tablets. To prove that this is a cer tain uric acid solvent and conquers headache, kidney and bladder diseases and rheumatism, if you’ve never used the "An-uric," cut this out and send 10 cents to Doctor Pierce for a large sam ple package. This will prove to you that “An-uric” is 37 times more active than lithia in eliminating uric acid— and the most perfect kidney and blad der corrector. If you are a sufferer,, go to your best druggist and ask for a 50 cent box of "An-uric.” You run no risk for Dr. Pierce’s good name stands be hind this wonderful new discovery as it has for the past half century for his "Favorite Prescription" for weak women and "Pleasant Pellets" for liver ills.—Adv. RAIDS AND SEIZURES TO BACK UP THREAT OF SHERIFF DAVIS Lewiston, Me.. Sept. 2S.—Raids with seizures at three places and visitations at 10 other places were the features of Tuesday morning's war upon the Demon Rum in Lewiston by Sheriff Davis' depu ties, says the Lewiston Journal. Seizures were made at the establish ment of Mike Brownstein. Lisbon street; Mike King, Lincoln street, and 1’. H. O'Connell, also on Lincoln street. 'At Brownstein's place three kegs par tially tilled with ale were secured. A quantity of hard liquors and beer was taken when the deputies visited King's place. The largest seizure of the morning was at O'Connell's, where the inventory showed the following contraband con fiscated: Four quart bottles of whiskey, three bottles containing 3 gills of whis key, 19 pint bottles of ale, L'4 bottles con taining two gills each of whiskey, keg containing six gallons of ale. The stuff taken at the various places was carted to the jail in Auburn, where it was properly libeled. The cases will be taken into court later. Xo statement as to the other places was made at the sheriff's office, beyond saying that 10 were visited and each was found closed. The doors were locked and the curtains down. All were out of busi ness. This is the first raid made by the depu ties since the lid went on and is taken to mean that Sheriff Davis meant busi ness when he said actions were going to speak. e Men who have been in the business did not hesitate to say on Tuesday that they had received orders to go out of busi ness. They would not say who the or ders came from. T!ie American Cooler Co's, plant, owing to waste in the waterwheel, was shut down at 2 P. M. Monday for the rest of the day.

Friday evening Chief of Police Stetson received a call from Boston, stating that Hazel, who is a state charge, had run away and was be lieved to be with relatives in Bruns wick. Chief Stetson and Officer Ed wards located her that night at the house of Samuel FYench on the Great Island road. Mr. and Mrs. French agreed to turn the girl over to the officers in the morning, provided that she could remain with them over night. Several hours later Chief Stet son was notified that the girl had run away. The chief replied that he was aware of that fact as a grandson of the French’s had helped the girl through a window. The girl did not go far that night and when the officers visited the French homestead Satur day morning they found that she had returned. Mrs. Sarah M. Hayes, a Massachusetts officer in charge of the minor wards of the State, arrived Sat urday afternoon. Reaching the French’s, it was found that the girl had again skipped, this time upon the advice of an attorney. Portland and Bath officers were notified and within an hour the girl was located in Bath. She was brought back to Brunswick and Mrs. Hayes and the girl left for Boston on the midnight train Satur day. -v WALDO COUNTY S. J. COURT CONVENES ON TUESDAY MORNING Belfast. Me..

AUGUSTA, MAINE sep' 75»dTtx Enjoin Corn Flake Co. in Gov’m’t Suit Detroit, Mich., Sept. 28.—The Kel logg Toasted Corn Flakes Co. of Bat tle Creek, is permanently enjoined from fixing the re-sale price on its product, by a consent decree announc ed today in United States district court here in the government’s anti trust suit against the Kellogg con cern. The decree takes effect after Oct. 15 of this year and is considered highly Important because it establish es a precedent against the fixing of re-sale prices on food products. The government brought suit against the Kellogg Co. in December, 1912, alleg ing the defendants had no legal au thority to fix the re-sale price of their property or to suggest or warn job bers that if they refused to carry out the fixed price they would be cut off 1 from further supply of toasted corn flakes. The defendants contended they were not violating the law inasmuch as the notice to jobbers concerning the i re-sale price was printed on a car ton, containing the product which had been patented with the notice there on. The patent, they claimed, made it legal for hem to handle their product in that way. According to the decree, however, the company is not only per- i manently enjoined from fixing the re sale price, but it must also refrain from using on its cartons or boxes the notice concerning the fixed price.

The trouble, he said, was local and caused partly by adventurers, and partly by Mexicans In Texas, who think they may separate Texas from the United States and form a social republic i", Gen. Funston Reports Conditions on Border Again Become Acute Washington, Sept. 28.—Conditions along the Mexican border in the Brownsville district again have be come acute, according to messages to the War department today from Ma jor General punston, and a battery of mountain artillery has been dis patched to Progreso, Texas, to prevent a raid by 500 bandits who threaten to cross into American territory. "If Carranza does not stop these bandits,’’ telegraphed Colonel Block som, in command of the troops near Progreso, "I believe we shall soon be compelled to follow them across.” Secretary Garrison said he inter preted the colonel’s telegram to mean that if conditions did not improve he would find it necessary to recommend that American troops be permitted to pursue attacking forces along the in ternational line whenever necessary to deal with them. Information placed in the hands of the department of justice by T. R. Beltran, Carranza consul at San An tonio, Texas, bears out to an extent Col. Blocksom’s report that the ban dits seem independent of Carranza control. Mr. Beltran contends that for mer followers of Jesus Flores Magon have organized on the border and are working surreptitiously to ferment trouble between the United States and Mexico. There are intimations that outside influences are supplying funds for the alleged plot, and department of Jus tice officials have begun an investiga tion. 44 Dead in Explosion at Ardmore—Railroad May Suffer by Inquiry Ardmore, Okla., Sept. 28.—Officials of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe Railway may be charged with crim inal negligence in connection with the explosion and fire which caused the wrecking of the business district of Ardmore and the death of 44 persons here yesterday.

He knocked and kicked the door for about half an hour before he finally gained admis sion. He was met at the door by a man named Green. He asked where “that Negro'* was, and was told he was on the third floor. Going to the third, tloor, he found his man, who was sit ting up in bed, which the officer took! to mean that he was expected. Officer Brown made a jump for the, bed, pulling his revolver and covering! the Negro. At the same time the Ne-j I gro grabbed a whisky bottle which! was on the bed beside him and struck i a vicious blow at the officer's head.! The policeman parried this blow withj his hand, knocked the bottle from the! Negro's hand and broke it. That was! the last of open and active resistance. THE SENSATIONAL ARREST OF M’RAE AT ROMFORD JUNCTION Lewiston, Me.. Sept. 28.—Alexander i McRae, aged about 34, was arrested at 2.30 Tuesday morning at Rumford Junction by a posse of Lewiston and Auburn policemen. He was wanted in connection with the murder, Monday night, of William E. St. John, watch man in the Edward Walker store, Monument square, Portland. Chief Bowen of the Portland de partment with Sergt. Geo. Dingley, and Patrolman Qennison came to Lewiston at 7.30 Tuesday morning, by automobile, and left at 8 on the *e turn, taking McRae with them. Up to the time the prisoner left Lewiston, he had not been informed of the charge which probably would be brought against him. After being brought to the Lewiston police station, McRae was question ed at length by Police Capt. Mur phy. In the course of this examination the prisoner, who is colored, made several conflicting statements as to his actions of the previous afternoon in Portland. These were considered by both the local and Portland officers, as being very damaging. Chief Bowen stated Tuesday morn ing before leaving Lewiston that Mc Rae would probably not be given pre liminary hearing inside of a week. "We will arraign him,” said the chief, "and ask for a continuance of that time. I have no doubt the court will grant it. Story of the Crime According to the statement of Chief Bowen the murder of Watchman St. John was one of the most cold-blood ed in the history of that city. From what the police can determine the man was killed while making his rounds by men bent on robbery, whom the watchman discovered at work. The crime took place on the third floor of the store, the watchman be ing shot. Robbery to considered the motive because Monday night, after the crime was discovered, it was found that a ejitt number of pistols were missing. Discovery of the murder was due to the failure of the watchman to regis ter at the different stations through out the store at times when he should. The watchman's system of the store was connected with the district mes senger service so that when the reg ister failed to come in the police were notified and an investigation started. This resulted in finding the dead body. Saw Negroes Near Building Immediately an alarm was sent out and Chief Bowen called out every man in the department and set him to work hunting the murderers. He also called upon the fire department for assistance. In a very short time a police net had been thrown around the city from which it seemed impossible any man could escape, but McRae, according to his own story and the facts of the case, did slip through. In a very short time the police learn ed that a party of three negroes had been seen in the vicinity of the Walker store at about 7 o'clock Monday night. Some stories said they had been ob served leaving the building. A very good description was obtain ed of the men, especially of one of them. This was sent to all officers engaged on the hunt in Portland and telephoned to every point in Maine where the men might possibly be apprehended. Lewiston-Auburn Officers Get Busy As soon as the message from Port land was received by Chief McCarron about 10 o'clock, an alarm was sounded in these cities. Captain Murphy with Policeman Libby, M. M. Murphy, Breen and Painchaud took the patrol auto and started down the line for Rumford Junction, the message having brought information which indicated the wanted men might be coming that way. In Au burn they picked up Policeman Staples, Ratcliffe and Mower and hastened to the junction. There they' stationed themselves at vantage points and waited. When a freight rolled in about 2.30 Capt. Murphy and Policeman Staples saw a man's figure outlined against the side of a tank car, which was in the train. About the same tlrM, the man saw the other officers anc^ JAmped. Striking the ground he started on the run. Halt! shouted Captain Murphy. The man stopped. “Put up your hands,’’ ordered Murphy, pointing his automatic that way. One hand went up, full height, but the other was only half way. "L’p with the other,” ordered the Lew iston police captain. '"I can't," said the man. “Put 'er up or I'll shoot," allowed the I officer. The hand went up full length. Later McRae explained to the captain that it was the first time in his life he had ever put that-hand up and he didn’t I know how he did it then. The arm was small and affected with a form of par alysis. Found Dress Suit Case While they were searching the man, who said his name was Alexander Mc Rae, Policeman Ratcliffe found on the floor of the tank car a dress suit case, beside which lay a heavy coal chisel. I brand new, about eight inches long and' nearly an inch in diameter. McRae was first brought to Auburn, where the suit ease was opened and itif contents examined. It contained six brand netv automatic pistols. From two' of these the cartridge clips were gone. Capt. Murphy is inclined to feel that these were the weapons used in the shooting, as he cannot account any other way for the clips being gone. He figures they were used and then thrown away. In the grip also was a new screw driver of extra length and very strong. Be sides these the case contained a suit of clothes, twm pairs of shoes, shirts, collars, towels and soap. The suit case was left in Auburn, as an officer of that city located It, and McRae brought to Lewiston and locked up, the Portland officers being notified at once. CLUES GIVEN BY PROPRIETOR OF A FRUIT STORE Portland, Me.. Sept. 28.—It was largely through the clues given by Moses La ham, proprietor of the Congress Fruit Store at 436 Congress street, that the po lice were able to round up so quickly the two suspected Negroes in the St. John murder case. It was through Mr. Laham’s store that the two Negroes made their escape from the blind pocket behind the Edwards Walker Co. store and he gave the police information about them, and descriptions. also since identified one of the Negroes arrested on suspicion. at J!5 i'M. It was between 7.30 and 7.45 when Mr. Laham, standing behind his counter and talking to a customer, looked up to see two Negroes enter the store from the rear. The first Negro was a very tall one; the other one. who was behind, was shorter and stouter. "Here, what are you doing here? Where did you come from?- asked Mr. Laham. He saw the men’s clothes were covered with dirt, and thought they might have been lying during the day in the blind alley behind the siring of stores. "We've been playing in the pool room, and they threw us out in the yard," re plied the first Negro. “Just a minute, here,” said Mr. La ham, not yet satisfied. He then went to i the pool room next door and inquired j whether there had been any Negroes playing there and whether they had been j thrown out in the yard. The proprietors j knew nothing about any Negroes. As Mr. Laham left his store he heard j the first Negro shout over his shoulder to the other, “Come on, we can get out through here.” When he returned after only a minute's absence he discovered the Negroes had gone, probably down to Temple street and down that thor oughfare. Meanwhile the customer who had been talking with Mr. Laham was dispatched to notify the police of the incident, al though of course Mr. Laham at the time did not know anything of uie tragedy which had taken place in the big hard ware store nearby. The police came and received from Mr. Laham the information which set them at once looking for the two Negroes suspected and resulted in the capture of the two men in Lewiston and Portland this morning. FORMATION OF SYNDICATE (Continued from Page One) I these governments apart from notes j of the French treasury to a limited amount, maturing in the next six 1 months. The bonds will be re-payable at the end of five years or convertible at the option of the holder into 4 1-2 1 per cent, bonds of the two govern ments, re-payable not earlier than 15 years and not later than 25 years from i the present time by the two govern- ments jointly and severally. "The bonds will be issued to the pub lic at 98, yielding approximately 5* per cent, to the investor. The work of offer ing this loan will be carried out by a syndicate which Messrs. J. P. Morgan Co. and a large group of American bank ers and financial houses will at once set about to form. Such a group will in i elude representatives throughout the country and all members of the syndi cate will be on precisely the same foot ing. This syndicate, whose business it will be to arrange that every investor shalKfhave an opportunity to subscribe j to the issue, will contract to purchase i the loan from the two governments at I 96.” It was announced that Russia would j not participate in the loan. Davison's Announcement .Henry P. Davison of the firm of J. P. Morgan Co. issued this statement on Ijehaif of his firm when Sir Henry had concluded reading the statement on be half of the Anglo-French commission: “The commission has made plain by its statement that it has determined at- j the outset to recognixe investment condi tions In America. It proposes to meet these conditions by issuing an obligation which is without pret erlenee, namely, the I joint and several promise to pay of Great Britain and France. To this it has at j tached terms which mean a yield to the. i investor of about 5j per cent, per annum i and carry with them a conversion privi lege calculated, upon the net urn of nor mal conditions, to prove of distinct value to the holder of this bond. "The interests of the small investor are are consulted in the decision which the commissioners have ai rived at to issue the bonds in denominations as low as $100 and to allow subscribers to make in stallment payments for the loan. It is to be noted that, as the commission has stated, this is an external loan free from all present or future English and French taxes. “It is proposed by the commission that the proceeds of the loan be handled so as in no way to disturb our own money markets and to that end the general plan will be to leave the cash realized from the bonds on deposit with banking insti- tutions tvhich become members of the syndicate throughout the United States. This proposed loan may in fact he con sidered as an arrangement made by American commercial and agricultural In terests with their regular customers to accept defer:ed payments covering com modities purchased. “The agricultural, manufacturing and financial interests of this country should welcome the opportunity to extend cred it to any solvent customer whete the ex tension of such credit furthers Ameri can trade. The normal export trade of this country to Great Britain and France t uns into many hundreds of mil- i lions of dollars annually. To preserve; such trade under the existing abnormal i conditions we believed the proposed ar rangement to be imperative and ac cordingly we and the many banking in stitutions and financial houses that will be associated with us will act as man agers without compensation." Syndicate Reimbursed The two per cent margin between the prices at which the issue will be of fered to public and the syndicate like wise will reimburse members of the syndicate it is contemplated, for their1 expenses in placing the loan on the market. To bring the great offering—the larg est of its kind ever placed in the United States—before investors throughout the entire nation, the country will be di vided into districts or zones and to each district there will be delegated a sub committee of the syndicate managers, composed of the subscribing banks and trust companies within the districts. Thus at Boston, at Philadelphia, Pitts burgh and Chicago and at other financial centers a committee of the banks in each city or section will have direct charge of the work of marketing the securities among investors residing in their districts. These sub-committees will work sim ultaneously and will report to the fed eral syndicate managers who will be located in New York. The five year bonds, principle and interest, will be payable In other cities, this detail with many others, is yet to be decided upon. In order, however, to comply with reg ulations of the New York Stock Ex change, New York City will be designat ed as the place of payment upon ma turity. Parliamentary ratification of the plan is necessary in the case of both Great Birtain and France, but it is assumed by members of the commlssiop that

Expenditures of Boston Maine Railroad Are Under Investigation Concord, N. H„ Sept. 28.—Alleged ex penditures of the Boston Maine Rail road and its leased lines to influence leg islation in this state again were the sub ject of investigation by the public ser vice commission today. After Benjamin A. Kimball, the aged president of the Concord Manchester Railroad, had testified he could not re member what he did with 812.665 which he spent in the campaign to prevent ex tension of the Grand Trunk lines in New Hampshire, George A. Weston of Brat tleboro, Vt., an attorney who acted under orders from Mr. Kimball, said he had received J14.489 for his work in the cam paign, but he could not recall the details of his expenditures. ■'There is no reason for calling me a ‘man of mystery,’ as has been done," Mr. Weston said. He had made no attempt, he added, to hide his activities in the movement opposed to the Grand Trunk. He said that under his orders from Pres, ident Kimball he kept no track of ex* penditures, made no report, nor any memorandum. He mentioned the name of Edgar Richards as having suggested his employment as counsel in the Grand Trunk agitation. The witness asserted that his expenditures had nothing what ever to do with the Legislature and that; he had spent no money for any illegal purpose. He objected to certain questions as a violation of the rights of client and at. tomey, and to others answered that ha could not remember, having made no notes whatever. The question as to the extent of th* fees which he had eeceived from the Bos. ton Maine Railroad in the past 20 yearj Mr. Weston first objected, then on a rul. lng by the commission that the question was a proper one said that he did not know. such endorsement will be secured with out difficulty. CHEERS GREET ANNOUNCEMENT AT BIG BANQUET Chicago, Sept. 28.—Cheers from scores of Chicago's foremost bankers and busi ness men greeted the announcement at a banquet here tonight that the $500,01)0,000 credit loan to France and England, the largest external loan ever contracted for in the United States, had been arranged for.

Lamont of the J. r. Morgan tirm that Boston bankers were a unit for the plan.

Washington. Sppt. 2S.—Legislation j i:- being considered by the administra tion to prevent the “dumping" of cheap foreign products on the Ameri can market at the conclusion of the j European war. Some high officials be lieve the end can be accomplished without a revision of the tariff. There is believed to be serious dan ger that ..after the war European con cerns will attempt to recover lost ground by flooding the United States with goods to be sold at less than the cost of production. Foreign goods, it was pointed out by officials today, cannot be shipped to the United States unless the in-' voices are signed by' American con sular officers abroad. An effort is to be made to find a way to prevent the signing of invoices in cases where it has been established that the goods are to be “dumped” on the American market at prices less than the cost of production.
