few DAYS ago the Journal discussed
at length the matter of the residence
of EbeneZer Herrick, one of " tl'le S
first congressman. The Maine Regis
ter has always put him down as mailing
from Lewiston A Bowdoinham man
has recently claimed that Mr.. lIerrick
lived in his town and was elected from
there The Journal has examined the
original proclamation or certificate OF
election of Congressman Herrick. as
proclaimed by Acting Governor Will
hanson on the 9th of July, 49,. and
finds that the claim set forth nv the
Bowdoinham man is well founded.
The proclamation, which may be
seen at the office of the secretary of
state. declares that "Ebenezer Herrick.
Esquire. of Bowdoinham," was elected
to Congress in 1921 This document
conclusively settles the controversy in
favor of Bowdoinham. and takes away
from Lewiston the glory, which she
has been enjoying for many years, of
being the home of one of the state
earliest congressman. The proclama-
tiOn is as follows:
William D. Williamson, President OF
our Senate and exercising the Office ol
Governor of the State of Maine, to all
who shall see these presents, greeting:

when an attempt was made to begin
the trial before q jury of the case OF
ID. Davis VS.. the b. +. Goodrich GO.
ihe jurors were in their places, an'l
everything was in readiness to Start

OIL the bench. Mr.. Cobbs preseitcd
q motion to the effect that the hearing
ba postponed until it is determined
by the Legislature whether jules in
Ohio are legal bodies. He claimed that

Mr.. Cobbs represented the defend.

INSISTS
That French |:
Behind 1t.

The Cleveland Leader says: Furth-
er reports were received yesterday
from landowners between Cleveland
and Akron that they have given op-
tions on q right of way for new
railroad line between Cleveland and
Akron. They are given to understand
that the announced intention Is to
build an electric road, but the Anal
intention is to equip the limo for the
use Of steam power.
In financial circles the report is in.
sistent that the line is backed by the
French people, and back Of them 1t Is
firmly believed are the Pittsburg s.
Lake Erie or the Vanderbilts, The
only outlet which has ever been offer
ed for the French lines is the p. G. l..
e., between Youngstown and Pitts
burg, and the Northern Ohio, between
Akron and the West. 1t is known
surely that Mr.. French has behind
him some strong financial interests.
The names in the directorate Of his
road are sufficient to indicate that,
but it is firmly believed that there are
also. others. p. & l.. Il. men have
made the estimates of the tonnage pos
sible to be turned over to the new
road, and these estimates have been
given to prospective capitalists
who are to be interested In the
road. p. Il l.. Il. officers are them
selves financially interested in the
company. Northern Ohio equipment
Is being used on the French lines,
and. in fact the new French roads
about Akron are none other than ex-
tensions of the Northern Ohio. I'm
der the circumstances it is firmly be.
Tieved that the French people are
building line into Cleveland at the
instance of the p. & l., E., which will
eventually take it over. The feasl-
bility of building by way of Akron
might be questioned were 1t not for
the freight that is possible as coming
from that territory via the Northern
Ohio. 1t is now said that should the
new line prove to be French-P. &
l.. Il. project the agreement between
the Lake Shore and the Erie relative
to Pittsburg will be abrogated, and
all such sent to Pittsburg over the
new line.

1T MUST BE TT
THE MASH" CODE
Howe. er Much Governors Bill Is
Changed 1t Must Bear His Name.

Columbus, o., Sept. 0.-Just a lit
tie progress was made toward the pas
sage of municipal code by the Legis-
lature Tuesday. The Senate took mat
ters seriously and got down to business,
while the special committee of the
House, which has charge of affairs for
the time being, contented itself in
listening to representatives of Cleve-
land. The Senate is acting in commit.
tee of the whole and has gone about
the matter systematically.
In accordance with the agreement
reached Monday evening, the Nash code
is being used as n basis for all discus
sion. This does not mean that the
other codes will not be considered but
the friends of the Governor have de.
cided that whatever bill is passed,
must bear his name. Amendments will
be offered and accepted or rejected
as the case may be, but whatever
changes are made, the instrument
will still be the Mash code"
At the morning session several sec
lions We're gone over and only slight
alterations were made in the Cover
nors bill. The first section was pass
ed without discussion. When the Sen.
ators came to the matter OF classillca.
tion between cities and villages and
fixing dividing line, they decided that
the other part of the bill had better
be passed first and this matter attead-
ed to when 1t could be seen Just what
the form of government will be.
The franchise question was merely
touched. tt was handled rather ginger

feature, the Senators reached a sort

hausted, the trade is demoralized, the
public is clamoring and now new
and important figures loom up and
press Morgan harder than ever.
Governor VIM. A. Stone, Attorney
General John P. Elkin and Senator
Finn, of Pennsylvania, associated with
p. A. B. Widener, Mr.. Morgan's friend
and business associate, are making
fresh demands upon the financier.
Men who know say that Mr.. Morgan
will be inclined to give more weight
to the requests Of Widener than anyone
who has called upon him to end the
strike.
What scheme Mr.. Widener and the
Pennsylvania officials have proposed
to Morgan is only known to themselves.
Yesterday they resorted to oil sorts Of
means to prevent newspaper men from
knowing that they even were In con.
ference here on the strike problem.
For Morgan to settle the strike now
would be an embarrassment to the
operators who have declared positive
ly that the only way the struggle
Gould and would be ended would be
the unconditional surrender of the
miners.
These operators are still declaring
today that they will make no conces-
sions.
The Herald this morning says, how
ever, that 1t has 1t on high authority
that Morgan has decided to use his
good Offices to terminate the strike, de-
spite the feelings of the operatives. 1t
adds that some Of the latter, sit is
said" have threatened to resign rather
than to submit TO interference. Gen
orally the newspapers here and In
Philadelphia express the opinion that
the strike is near its end. The New
York Tribune is of the opinion that a
settlement VIII be arranged on the ba-
sis OF a ten per cent, increase In wages

as members OF the union.

Great Heaps of Cleaning
. Gold In the Treasury

Washington, Sept. 10.--Secretary Of
the Treasury Shaw is wondering
what to do with the gold piled in the
Treasury. Over $60O,OOO,OOO is there
now and more is coming. There is
more than ever before in the history
OF this country. Except once in Rus
sia, there is more gold in the United
States than ever held by one nation
on earth. To relieve the situation
when Congress meets, Secretary Shaw
