THE LOUD BILL.
Hearing, Saturday. Developed an Opposition
OF Most Formidable Character.

Washington. jar. 2l.-The senate com.
sImed its hearing on the Loud second
class mail bin Saturday. o. J. Victor
chairman of New York committee of
publishers, being the first to be heard
He said the bill was in the interest of eX-
press companies. and opposed to the in
tefests of the public, which demands
good and cheap literature. Mr.. Victor
called attention to the large amount of
government matter which is carried
free, which would, he said, go far to-
wards accounting for the postoffice de-
flclt, and created general laugh at the
expense of the committee by reading
newspaper extract characterizing most
OF this matter as Congressional bum
comb"
John Elderkin of the New York Ledger
Claimed that under the proposed law
such papers as the Ledger would be ex-
cluded from the privilege of being en-
tered as second class matter.
5. S. Mcclure addressed himself es-
pecially to Senator Chambers proposed
amendments to the Loud bill. He as
serted that one of these, that referring
to distribution through the news agents,
would have the effect of requiring pub
fishers of magazines to organize their
own system of distribution, and thus
10th increase their cost, as well as de-
crease their publications. Any addition
to the cost would render it impossible
to publish 10 cent magazines. To ad-
vance the price of magazines to Is cents
would be to.cut circulation in half. Sena-
tor Chandler said ne did not propose to
press his amendment.
j. S. Ogilvia denied the assertion which
had been made at the meeting last Sat
urday, that some of his publications
were indecent. He asserted that the
government was under an implied con-
tract with the publishers to maintain
present rates.
Yates Hickey of the American Rail-
way Literary association favored the
bill.
David Williams. proprietor Of the New
York Iron Age, submitted written ar
gnment in favor of the bill.
Senator Chandler stated that the hear
ings would close next Saturday.

Pres. Arthur w. Robinson of the club
madeNa graceful and appropriate after

cheered.
Mr. Carleton. chairman of the Maine
fish and game commission. the next
speaker, said that the Megantics had
been regarded in Maine if not with sus-
piciOn, at least, with interest.
However, he declared, the authorities
have come to the conclusion that there
is nothing to fear from the club as the
members are looked upon as one of the
best agencies for the protection of fish
and game, in favor of which public sem
timent in Maine is stronger now than
ever before.
Mr.. Gleason of New York. made an ur-
gent plea for the preservation of the
forests of Maine, the only ones left, he
said in New England.
He remarked that the greatest enemies
of health, beauty and the commerce of
this part of the country. today. are the
lumbermen, and he urged every individ-
ual member of the club to exort his ut
most endeavorers to keep the lumbermen
out of the Maine forests as far as posi-

Several other speeches of n pleasant
character, though without general public
interest, were made.

HARD luck.
Freak Of Fortune Takes Away Pension Of
Brave Man.

Lewiston, Jan. PA strange story
of q veteran of the late war. who
fought in the army under one name
and in the navy under another. and
who has just had his pension taken
away from him on the ground that he
deserted from the army, is reported
from Bucksport.
The veteran in question is now
known as Peter McCabe, and is nearly
a years old. He was born and christ
ened John Mooney in the town of Kill
kenny, Ireland, in 1920. His father
died shortly before the birth of young
Mooney. A good-looliing young neigh
Dor. Peter McCabe. fell in love with
and married the widow Mooney.
There were other young MONEYS and
some young John MONEYS in Kilken-
ney. To distinguish young John from
the others everybody began to call him
by his stepfather's name, Peter Nc
Cabe.
Young Peter McCabe was IA or Is
when he landed in Ellsworth. When
the war broke out he enlisted in the
1st Maine heavy artillery. AS volun-
teer Peter McCabe he went to. the
front.
At Spottsylvania Peter was shot
through the shoulder the leg and the
hip. He was picked up for dead and
taken to Fredericksburg, where for 10
days he lay receiving medical treatment
in Il tent. AT the end of that time he
was taken into the Howard hospital at
Washington.
He recovered and received Il 3O-days'
furlough to gather his strength. While
on the street one day he fell in with some
sailors from the naval service. He had
few drinks with them and then there
was a blank. When Peter again returned
to consciousness he found himself in a
naval uniform marine on the New
Ironsides under Com. Bradford. During
his delirium he had given his own name
John Mooney. and thus Private Peter
McCabe of the LIST Maine Heavy Artil-
lery. was transformed into Seaman John
Mooney of the battleship New Ironsides
He served until given an honorable dis
charge.
AT the age of 70 he received Il pension
of Sc month. which was increased at
intervals until it reached $40. Pension
Commissioner d. l. Murphy who sue
ceeded Commissioner Lochran, discov-
cred that Peter McCabe. who had dis
tinguished himself for bravery at the
Wilderness and Spottsylvania had been
marked on the records as a deserter from
the Howard hospital in Washington. and
his pension ceased.
Friends have interested themselves in
the case. and every effort will be made
to have the pension restored.

FALL RIVER MILLS
Will Gain Recruits from Other
New England Towns.
Running Time will Be Cut Down by
FEBRUARY, LIST.
Estimates Of the Number Of Spindles in New
England States.

Boston. Jan. 24.-Although the advo-
Gates of the print cloth curtailmen;
movement are not meeting with success
in all the manufacturing centers of New
England, YET the situation today is such
that it is safe to say the Fall River mills
will be supported by enough spindles in
other places to bring about the pro-
posed reduction in running time by Feb.
AS announced by recent dispatches
from Rhode Island cities the sentiment
there is not favorable to curtailment
and the committee from this state which
went there found that with the exception
OF two OF three manufacturers in Provi-
dence it will be utterly useless to make
any further attempts to have the output
reduced in the state.
In New Bedford the mills are running
on full time, although busine is dull.
The manufacturers there have not con-
sidered the movement to curtail produce
ton as body, and it is impossible to
tell what they would do. Many agents
there. however. are opposed TO it.
Some Lawrence mills are running on
believe several mill men favor the pro-
losal of the Fail River men, George
s. Silsbee, treasurer of the Pacific mills
which manufacture print CLOTH who has
sE officei in Boston, says it is possible the
Pacific mills will enter the agreement
The Pemberton mill is running only As
hours per week, IL hours less than the
usual time, so it will be hardly necessary
for them to sign the agreement TO run AZ
hours.
The Everett mills at Lawrence have
been running on short time since last
October, when the mills started up after
an eight weeks shutdown. These mills
are now running only 40 hours per week.
dispatch from Lowell says there is
little new in the situation there. All the
manufacturers are feeling the depression
but are making goods and are piling
them up, in the belief that business will
improve in the spring.
While one or two Of the mills will
probably reduce their time. there is no
prospect of general movement in this
city just at present.
Hon. T. Jefferson Coolidge, treasurer
of the Amoskeag mills of Manchester,
says that corporation has heard nothing
of the movement except what the news
papers publish. Like the majority of
other mill men, he preferred to wait a
