Sportsmen Sympathize with Law Breakers
Rangeley, July 29.-The statement re-
Gently made by James Mathieson, presi-
dent Of the Rangeley Guides Association,
concerning a controversy over the matter
of license for Mathieson as guide, was
read with much interest by the sportsmen
and summer visitors here. 1t is under
stood by the other guides here that Mr..
Mathieson, who is still engaged in his
regular pursuit without license, pro-
poses to test the constitutionality of the
law, recently passed by the legislature
requiring all guides to be licensed. In
this effort, it is known that several of
the most prominent sportsmen who visit
this region, have expressed willingness
to assist Mathieson financially in making
the contest.
The Dead River guides and camp own
ers association are planning to assess
themselves So each for the purpose of test
ing the law If it shall become necessary.

So Called sportsmen Encourage Him in
His Law Breaking -Offers of Contribu-
ton to Fight the Law-Mathieson Talks
Some More.
Pennington, July 29.-The Dead River
Guides and Camp Owners Assoc iation is
about to assess each member in the sum
of IS to assist any guide who will test the
constitutionality of the new law. The
association claims to have the sympathy
of the public and the financial support
of many native and other sportsmen. Mr..
George A. Gibson of Boston, is said to
have to have offered the sum of 500 to
the Guides association.
James Mathieson, president of the
Rangeley Guides Association, is guiding
at present at Kennebago lake, though he
was not licensed He adds to the state
ment made to the Associated Press: "lt
is my right as citizen to discuss the
law, to condemn and with other guides
to fight for its repeal, but as long as 1t
remains on the statute books I thorough
ly understand that it is my first duty to
obey the law. An assuran ce of this l
have shown by making application and
answering all questions in the applica-
ton blank as other guides did. But in
spite of that my license was withheld.
One of the commissioners publicly ack
nowledged that he asked certain guide
If he objected to the commissioners
knowing the amount of his earnings at
the close of the year. Because I refused
to report the amount of my earnings the
commissioners take it upon themselves to
say that am trying to resist the law"
Mr.. W. n. Boynton of Arlington
Heights, Boston, and Frederick S. Dick
son, a prominent Philadelphian, have
promised James Mathieson financial aid
if needed to test the constitutionality of
the law. The aother day Mathieson was
approached by man who Is supposed to
have been sent here to get evidence
against unlicensed guides. Mathieson
told him that he was ready to guide the
stranger if he would await his return
from Kennebago lake. Mathieson is still
guiding at the latter place and he may
be arrested on his return. The outcome
and the next move of the commissioners
is awaited with the greatest interest By
guides and sportsmen everywhere.

THE ADVANCE OF PROSPERITY.
Western Railroads Having All Traffic
They Can Handle.

Omaha, Neb.. July 29.-In the forty
eight hours ending Monday morning the
Burlington road hauled Sl3 cars of grain
through this city bound east, and other
roads 900 cars. This grain movement,
together with the immense amount of
coal that is being called for from Western
miners, threatens box-car famine.
All the shops on the entire Burlington
system began yesterday morning to work
full time, ten hours, which indicates that
the roads expects an increase in business
and one that will continue. Other roads
in the West have also started their shops
full time for the same purpose.
A week ago the new wheat started to
market from Nebraska, and since that
time it has been pouring in from q
thousand wheat fields and has blocked
other kinds of traffic in large measure
The rush to market would be worse, but
thrashers are not to be had. What makes
the situation worse is that some of last
years crop of corn is just beginning to
move, it having been held until the
present SO that the farmers might be
certain of having plenty of corn this
year. Since this has been assured the
farmers have begun to release that part of
POO, 200 bushels.
The demand for grain cars exceeds all
the hopes of the railroad men. All for
eign cars in the state have been seized by
the Nebraska line to be utilized for the
grain carrying trade, in many cases in
direct violation of contracts with other
lines. They think the urgency of the
occasion justifies the proceeding.
Then the coal carrying capacity of the
Western roads is being taxed to the ut
most. Coal can be carried in many cars
that are rejected for grain carrying pur-
poses. and this helps the situation. Every
pound of coal mined in Iowa, Kansas,
Missouri, Colorado and Wyoming is be-
ing hurried forward to the East Many
are hurrying across Nebraska within
sight of each other on the same track.
The orders are to force all Chicago and
New York grain companies to empty and
return the cars in As hours after receipt.
If they are not emptied in that time by
the owners of the grain, the railroad
crews are ordered to dump the grain into
any available space and send the cars
back forthwith. The situation is unpar-
alleled in the West. What is true of Ne
braska is true of Iowa, Kansas and Mis-
souri,.

SUICIDE OR MURDER,
William Hennessy Dead and
Several Suspects Ar.
rested
1t Was at First Thou!ht He Killed
Himself, but Another Theory
Is Growing.

William Hennessy, about 80 years oil
age, was thought to have committed
suicide by shooting himself through the
head in a small room in the St. David
House, 7l5 Howard street, at an early
hour yesterday morning.
Hennessy, accompanied by George
Riley, Thomas Shannon. Mary McCann
and Kate Frank, entered the ST. David
House about O. clock in the morning.
Several drinks were purchased by Shan
non and Reilly and Hennessy finally
ordered refreshments. Before they were
served, however, he left the party and
went into a rear room.
A few moments later a shot was heard,
and on investigation Hennessy was found
lying in pool of blood, dead.
Tne body was removed to the Morgue,
and when searched it was found that the
deceased was penniless.
This fact led The Coroner's deputies to
believe that after having ordered the
drinks, the suicide was ashamed to let his
friends know that be was without money.
and killed himself.
Sergeant Donovan of the Southern sta
ton was instructed to investigate the
case.
He did so and last evening, concluding
that the case was worthy of further inves-
tigation, arrested those who were with
Hennessy at the time OF his death.
They were George Riley. Thomas Shan
non, Mary McCann and Kate Frank
Riley says that the two women, Shan
non himself and Hennessy were all drink
ing in the ST.. D ,vid House.
Hennessy wanted one of the women to
go with HIM; she refused, and then he
got UP and went into another room and
they heard shot. That was ALL

A ring was pitched in the barn and the
