STORY OF MUNJOY HILL.
| In the evening at 730 o'clock, Mr.. n.
G. Goold read the story of Munjoy hill,
giving history of the observatory. The
story .of Munjoy.. hill commenced with
| the settlement of Portland in 1888, at
| the foot of Hancock street, by Cleeve and
Tucker, and the sale of their land. east
of Clay Cove to Deacon John Phillips of
Boston, in 1859. when his n-in-law,
George Munjoy, came here and lived on
the west corner of Fore and Mcuntfort
streets. Munjoy was man of character
and respected here and at Boston, where
he fled about 1876, in the King Philip
war. He never returned here to live, but
died in 1880, aged "a years. His widow
married Robert Lawrence, and lived in
the Lawrence garrison, when he was
killed by the Indians in 1880, when the
town was destroyed and Fort Royal
captured.
The story continues after the resettle-
ment of the town, with the contest be-
tween the old and new proprietors, then
the laying of Hancock street, and the
building of the Longfellow birthplace.
Then was told what is known of the forti-
fcation on Munjoy Hill in the Revolution
and the laying out of some of the early
streets and the active operations on the
hill in the war of 1919.
The story continued about the Eastern
Cemetery by description of visit to
the tomb of Parson DEAN in 1897. At
ter this historyEof he.building OF the
observatory was given, together with
prominent events connected with that
structure since that time until within the
memory OF those now living. Then fol-
lowed the laying out OF the Eastern
Promenade in 1886, the King riot in ls4e
and a reference to the events that has
come under the observation of those now
living.
Il Both meetings we're open to the general
public and a number Of people availed
il themselves of the invitation to attend.

SAVED INCOME TAX BILL
Speaker Kaulukou Steps Into the
Imminent Deadly Breach.
Representative Robertson. Proves that He Was
Hcked Up Beian He Rsll
Vote on, Bill.

The entire session of yesterday
afternoon in the House was taken
up with the second reading of the
Income Tax Bill.
Representative Robertson was
permitted to explain that he had
meant no insinuation whatever in
his remarks TO the effect that he
considered it matter to be re-
GREETED that the influence of
wealth had been brought to bear
against this Bill. He stated that
he did not mean that anyone
should have been guilty Of taking
any money consideration what
ever, but simply that the infu-
ence of wealth had been sufficient
to oppose a number of members
of the House against the measure.
Messrs. Richards aud Loeben-
stein, who had assaiIed his re
marks during the morning, &C
cepted the explanation as salts
factory, and peace once more
reigned in the House.
A motion by Rep. Richards to
the effect that the Bill be indefi
nitely postponed was lost by a
vote of eight to seven, it requiring
the vote Of the Speaker to decide
the question. The B II was then
read section by section, and in
each aud every instance did it re-
qulre the Vote of the Speaker of
the House to determine whether
the Bill should he passed or
killed. Had the Speaker not voted
with those in favor OF passing the
Bill, it would have been tabled
aud done away with for this ses
zion of the Legislature at Ipa.t.
There is not a single m easure which
has come before the III use during
the present session, which has 80
divided the House against itself,
and where an even lumber of
those on the floor were in favor of
and against the Bill. Tue Bill,
with the aid Of the Speaker,
passed second reading amid
the applause of it's support
ers.
The vote on the question to in
definitely postpone the Bill was
as follows: Ases-Loebenstein,
Richards, Paris, Kaeo, Kaai, Is
enberg, Kshsulelio-7.
Noes-Gear, Pogue, Robertson,
Achi, Wilder, Atkinson, McCand-
less and Speaker Kaulukou--S.

Trouble Over the Case of
 a Dive Waitress.
CONFLICTING STATEMENTS
THE POLICE HINT THEY HAVE
 BEEN TRACKED.
Some Interesting Developments Are Expected When the Matter Is Called in Court This
 Morning.

The case of Kate Ellington, "dive" waitress has caused feeling of unpleas- antnesS to arise between the arresting officers, Sergeant Helms and Policeman Cayanaugh, and Judge Conlan, which will be ventilated in the Judges court this morning.
 The woman was arrested on June 20 on a charge of Vagrancy. The case was as- signed to Judge Conlan's court and when it was called the following morning it was at the request of the police continued till last Friday The case was dismissed on Friday and there is where the trouble originated. According to the police they wished the case continued till Saturday and were surprised to find when they went into court that day that it had been changed on the calendar to dismissed ' They again arrested the woman and the case was assigned to Judge Mogan's court.
 The police claim that the woman boast ed that it had cost her $35 to square" the case and that she had been able to outwit the police. She told them that when she left the court room Friday police court attorney named Quigley or Quinlan had approached her and said it was no use to have the case continued from time to time. He took her back and had the case dismissed
 Judge Conlan admits dismissing the case Friday, but says it was done inadvertent- ly. "I thought it was an old case,'' saiu the Judge, and as the officers were not III court to prosecute l OrueFeQ It SIFlCheh from the calendar. l was not in court Saturday. Judge Mogan taking my place, but l understand the officers called that day and complained about the case being dismissed. I was informed of that fact Monday morning and at once placed ithe case again on my calendar. The officers sent word to continue the case till to-day, and when it was called to-day neither of them appeared and l have continued it till tomorrow, and if they fail to appear then I will dismiss it for lack of prosecution and will see if they can take it to another court. l think they have treated this court with marked discourtesy to say the least"
 The Judge sent for the woman and shs denied giving any attorney cent to square the case or for any other pur- pose. She had never made any such state ment. The only money she had paid was to the men who went. on her bonds.
 The statement that the case was marked ''continued' last Friday and afterward changed to "dismissed' is emphatically denied by the Judge and officers of the court and it is expected that the Judge will insist upon thorough investigation
