TO REPLACE THE FERN.
Cruiser Montgomery viii Be Sent to
Havana at Once.


Washington, March THE decision
of the navy department concerning the
sending of ships to Cuba was made
known at O'Clock this afternoon, when
the following brief statement was post
ed by the bureau of navigation: Mont
gomery will relieve the Fern at Havana.
Fern will carry provisions to Matanzas
and Sagua la Grande'
This conclusion was reached after con-
ference between the officials of the state
and navy departments, and is under
stood to be such an adjustment as will
not lead to further objection by the
Spanish government.
The Montgomery is an unarmored
cruiser of about 20S0 tons with an arna-
ment of 10 guns. The plans of the navy
department are to have the Montgomery
start for Havana at once, in order that
the Fern may return to Key West in
time to take on the relief supplies reach
ing there next Wednesday, Captain
Crowninshield chief of the bureau of
navigation, says that no time has been
fixed for the stay of the Montgomery at
Havana, as the only decision thus far
reached is that she will replace the Fern

Inc mayor treated the city council to
a surprise Monday evening when he sent
IN the nomination for the board of liquor
hcense commissioners. 1t was the general
expectation that he would reappoint Cen.
Pickett and Hon. NJ. V. B. jefferson
and that Matthew B. Lamb would he
dropped from the board. In these par
tlculars there was no disappointment.
The surprise came in the nomination of
Deputy Sheriff James Early in place of
Mr.. Lamb, The tip was given some
weeks ago that Mayor Dodge's first
choice for the place was Mr.. Early, but
the Impression afterward gained ground
that he would not accept the place, ow-
ing to other and more congenial de-
mands upon his time. Mayor Dodge
seems to have overcome these objections
on the part of his candidate.
1t may safely be said that Mr. Earlv,s
appointment is case of the office seek
ing the man. The idea was distasteftIl tn
MN when ii was first mentioned and he
told all Of his friends who approached
MIN on the subject that he did not wish
TO De considered a candidate in any
sense. Certainly no pressure was
brought to bear upon Mavor Dodpe Ia
make the appointment. as there was in
the case of some of the other men whose
names have been mentioned in eonnec-
tlon with the office. The acceptance of
the position involves some personal sac
rifice on the part of Mr.. Early. as 1t
Will force him to give up the office of
registrar OF voters, whose salary is $400,
OF Wlthin 500 OF that attaching to the
position of liquor license commissioner.
he Will also give up the office Of member
Of the local board of civil service ex-
aminers, whose duties are light and con-
genial
Mayor Dodge, when asked by a Spy
man, Monday evening as to his reason
for declining to appoint Mr. Lamb. said
he had nothing against Mr. Lamb. He
considered him an honest and upright
citizen, but he believed that as a mat
ter of policy it was not wise to appoint
to place on the liquor license board
any man who was in retail business Of
any sort, if man of equal qualifica-
tions. who would accept the office, could
be found, who was not in business Sueh
man he believed he had found in Mr.
Early. He had known him long and in
timately, and was sure that his record
in Office would be clean and above sus-
picion. He also regarded Mr.. Early as
man Of exceptionally good Judgment.
and one who had the courage of his con-
victions The mayor said that Mr.. Early
was eminently safe man, one who
could be trusted and depended upon in
any emergency.
The prompt and unanimous confrma-
ton of Mr.. Earlys nomination in each
branch of the city council, shows that
the mayor is not alone in his estimate Of
Mr.. Early's qualifications and charac-
ter. In fact it may safely be said that il
there was to be a change in the makeup
of the board, no democrat whom the
mayor could have appointed would have
given more general satisfaction.
James Early is a native of county
Roscommon, Ireland, where he was born

THE TOWN MEETINGS.
The Changes in Temperance Vote Slightly
Favor License.

Boston, March THAT ancient New
England institution, town meeting
day." was observed in majority Of the
S21 towns of the state today
AS politics played but little part in all
but few of the towns, the interest cefi-
tired in the license question. There were
more changes among the various towns
this year than in the election of a year
ago, and these changes were slightly in
favor of license. Seven towns which
voted for no-lieense last year, jumped
over into the other column, while to Off
set this, six towns which were wet
last year, will go dry in 1928
The surprise of the day was undoubt-
edly at Natick, where strong shoe ele-
ment has kept the town for license for
number of years. The temperance
people this year put in some hard work,
which was duly rewarded. The list of
towns changing from no to yes, is as
follows: Rocl1land, Amesbury, Dracut,
Ashland, Hardwick, Lakeville, Belcher-
town. Those changing from yes to no,
are Natick. Athol Medway, Holiston.

MAXIMUM FREIGHT RATE.
Opinion Handed Down That Nebraska
Law is Not Valid

Washington, March THE supreme
court today handed down an opinion in
the Nebraska maximum freight rate
case, affirming the opinion of the cir
cult court of appeals for'the eighth cir
cult, which was against the maximum
freight rate law and favorable to the
railroads. Justice Harlans opinion held
the Nebraska law to be contrary to the
fourth amendment, in that it authorized
the taking OF property without due
process of aaw, and was, therefore. in
valid.
This case was instituted to test the
validity of law passed by the Nebraska
legislature in 1898. prescribing the
maximum rates for the transportation
of freight by railroads within the state.
The act applied specifically to freight
whose transit begins and ends in the
state, and there was no effort in it's
enactment to control interstate freight.

This fearless condemnation of the cab

members of their supporters. Arthur
O'Connor followed up this denial by the
publication of a pamphlet styled "a
Letter From the Dungeon to Lord Cas-
tlereagh," signed with his name.
This brave condemnation Of a sanguin-
airy government came upon them like
an avalanche. The ministerial mem
