Especial to the PRESSO
Bath, May 7.-Col. Robert G. Ingersoll
lectured at the Columbia theatre last eve
ming and the audience was considerably
annoyed at times by noises from the rooms
occupied by the Y. NJ. G. A. across the
hall.
Many people have declared today that
much of the noise was purposely made with
the object Of disturbing the lecture. Several
people who went declare that the singing at
the Y. M. Q. A. pra yer meeting. which was
held last evening, was louder than neces-
sary; that the young men tramped mp and
down the stairs, indulging in much loud
talk; and that the building bowling alley
and running track gave forth more noise
than would have been the case.had not the
lecture been in progress.
Rev. Abram Conklin of the Uniyersalist
church, in speaking of the matter today
said: ait may have been funny enough,
but there was nothing manly OF Christian
like in it. 1t was too bad" Mr.. Conklin
was present at the lecture and was one of
those disturbed.
Assistant Secretary Osgood of the assooi-
alton says that the singing was quite
loud because there was a large audience at
ming track and bowling alleys were run no
more than usual, and that the only noise
made on the stairs was when the meeting
came to close, and the young men went
out to go home. That nothing Intentional
was done at the rooms to interfere with the
lee ture.

CLOSING ARGUMENTS.
Hearing on the Income Tax Will Be Con-
tinued Today.

Washington. May I'm the Supreme court
today the assistant attorney finished his
argument in support of the constitutionali-
ty of the income tax. Discussing the ex-
ceptions and distinctions made in the law,
Mr.. Whitney said that practically there
vas no difference between corporation
and an individual because the former was
always treated as an individual. Chief
Justice Fuller asked the counsel what he
under stood to be the. reason to fixing the
limit at $4,000. Mr.. Whitney responded that
he supposed 1t was based on the principle
that the consumption tax fell most heavily
upon the very poor. and that the income
tax should be imposed upon those best able
to bear 1t.
Attorney General Olney closed the argu-
ment on the part of the United States. In
concluding bis argument he expressed the
opinion that under this new constitutional
doctrine the federal government would sus-
tain serious impairment in one of the most
important attributes. He was followed by
Joseph H. Choate. who made the closing
address against the income tax law. After
he spoke an half hour the court adjourned
until tomorrow.

Gorham, N. H., May THE great
lumber mills at Staples's Crossing on
the Grand Trunk, between GiIead,
Maine. and this place were burned this
evening. The fire started in the engine
room and spreadswith.appalling rapidity.
The men employed in and about the
mills were practically powerless to do
anything. They had no engine, and all
they could do was to form a volunteer
brigade and. to pass buckets from the
Androscoggin river, but their efforts
were not of the slightest real use. They
sent man to Gilead to ask that steam
fire engine be sent down from this place,
but even then it was plain that moth
ing could save the place.
Staples's Crossing, while a place of
great Importance as lumber cen tire, was
little more than II lumber camp, every
building being owned by the company.
The east-boupd Grand Trunk freight
left this place a little late, sand when
it reached Staples's it was literally "hot
stuff" the fire having by that time
reached the great "cut" of spruce lum-
Der relied on to afford work for long
time to come. Conductor Tryon got
his train out OF danger and then made
an attempt to save the Grand Trunk
freight cars on a siding, loaded, and
ready to be pulled out. He got four out,
but two burned with the lum ber loaded
on them the previous afterpooon.
The mills had been running full time
with large orders alaad and III js DoSsi-
BILE that more than 100 men Will be
thrown out of work.
The lumber in the yards about
what had been the mills melted away,
and all the helpless people couId do
was to try and save the big boarding
house owned by the company.
1t is at this time, (12. 80, something of
gine will be allowed to leave this place,
or what there is to save at Staples pro-
viding it was there.
A large shop and grain store were
in line with the fire and must have gone
almost as soon an the mills were burned.
AT the last. reports all hope then seemed
to be of saving the boarding house
and the few other buildings that lay
in the wind dying down. Even if the
boarding house and the few other build
ings left should be saved, that would
make but little difference in the total
loss which will be very large, and if
the fire should spread into the woods
the result would be still greater loss,
and that danger is not over by any
means.
Three mills, together with the very
large amount of lumber on hand, were
probably not insured. The risk 8 so
great e5 all the lumber centres that the
insurance rates are practically prohibitive
and it is not believed. that any consider
able insurance was carried. The loss
will largely fall on Portland parties, the
plant at Staples being largely, If not en-
tirely, owned in Portland.
