AUGUSTA, March 22.--The Bangor men
have renewed the fight for that new in
sane hospital project and their influence
was seen in two matters which came up
/ in the House this morning. They were
able to stop the bill to establish a police
! board in the City Of Biddeford and made
a desperate attempt to use the resolve in
favor of the Augusta Insane hospital as a
| means of perhaps getting votes for their
| pet measure. Their sudden opposition
to the Biddeford bill was the result of an
offer to trade, the proposition being
made that if the Biddeford contingent
here would use it's influence for the hos
| pital project, votes would be forth COM
| ing to carry the police bill through the
| House without the amendment made to
| it on motion of Mr.. Parker of Danfortf.
| This amendment, which the Senate threw
out yesterday, provides that the
| Governor should appoint member of
each of the two leading political parties
to the Board, the mayor being the third.
AS long as Biddeford elected Democratic
mayors of course the Democrats would
control the Board. The Biddeford people
| wouldn't trade and the subsequent devel
opments were interesting. When the
bill came up this morning, Mr.. Higgins
of Limerick, spoke briefly in behalf of
the measure. He said that he lived in
the county in which was the city which
this bill affected and he knew that the
evils complained of existed. He did not
agree with those who maintained that
the people of Biddeford should settle
this matter themselves and that this leg
islature therefore should not interfere.
The matter had b en- fully discussed and
Mr.. Higgins thought it should be settled
now ..-...... ....,,...t.e..,...,.y e.s,
Mr.. Adams Of Bangor, moved to lay
the bill on the table. He said that he
would not state his reasons at this time
and if the House decided against him, of
course he would submit, , ~
Mr.. Coffin of Bangor hoped that the
motion to table the bill would prevail.
Mr.. Day of Dixmont, a member of the
committee of conference on the part of
the House, supported the motion.
Mr.. Shaw Of Portland asked why it

Mr.. Adams replied that members of

that. deny the alligator and the allega-

Mr.. Shaw, however, got no explana-

called for the yeas and nays on the mo-

Mr.. Higgins then moved that the bill
be taken up tomorrow morning. He
thought that would give abundant time
for the accomplishment of the purpose
of the gentleman from Bangor.
Mr.. Adams moved that the assignment
DO to Friday morning.
Mr.. Higgins claimed that when he
tabled the bill, Mr.. Adams had given the
House to understand that it would be
taken up Thursday.
Mr. Adams asked if he didn't have the
privilege of changing his mind.
Mr.. Higgins replied that woman did
change her mind as often as she pleased
and man might. Laughter.

Bangor forces are particularly DESTROYS

The Hospital Resolve.
1t was late in the day when the Insane
Hospital resolve came up on it's
passage to be enacted. Then the Bangor
forces rallied and Mrs. Adams moved
that the resolve lie on the table until
Tuesday of next week.
Mr.. Powers of Houlton said he didn't
want to see any matter. go until next
week. Under the present order of the
House to adjourn on March oath, it
would be like referring the bill to the
next Legislature. He hoped if it wasn't
considered now it would simply be on
the table.
Mr.. Emerson of Portland wished the
gentleman from Bangor to state his
reasons for wishing to lay over this mat
ter which had been before the egisla-
ture good part of the winter and now
came up in its regular order.
