the gentleman from Bangor says that Il
party, having in his possession mort
gagged personal property. sells it, and
some parties come up who see fit to
commit perjury and swear that con-
sent WAS given by the mortga gee. and
there is no way to rebut it. and the
mortgage is deprived Of his security
or his property. Now, it seems to me
that the man who would perjure him
self i'll that respect. would go one step
farther and would say that consent was
given, that consent I saw, it was in
writing ana | read it," and then the
party who sold it. the mortga9or who
sold the personal property or the party
who bought it Of him, says this con-
sent which | had made in writing
have lost" Now. it is only necessary
for them to swear to two lies instead of
one to accomplish the same purpose
1t seems to me. for that reason that the
man who will swear that there was
consent given when there was none
will certainly swear if necessary, that
the consent was in writing when it was
not. And then it is only necessary to
say that the writing has been lost
Therefore. it seems to me that on that
phase of it. it does not cure any fraud
What is it looked al from tho other side
1t is in effect an addition to the statute
of frauds. Such statutes are not favoree
by tie court particularly. Some were
passed in England and have been brought
down to Us because they prevented fraud
Instead Of promoting fraud they prevent
ca fraud Now on the other hand tn,
MORTGAGE gives his consent to the sale of
personal property. See how it works ir
the other direction. The mortgagee gives
crty. An unSuspectnc purchaser buys II
in good faith Then the question comes
mn: the mortgage claims his property
The party who has bought it says: You
sale OF this property, The mortgage re-
plies: An true. but have You got that nj
writing?' No | thought you would
stand to it. | did not think it was neces-
sarv' wei. I simply plead what is
ca lied the statute of frauds and You can
not prevail in court ] can recover this
property because YOU have not my con
sent in writing.
Now II NOT only does not cure fraud on
the one side because it is only necessary
t. tell one mere lie; but it gives a chance
on tho other side for the promotion Of
fraud which does nor eNist ~ the present
unUarv which can he taken advantage of
by the professional horse trader: and /
am fully convinced IN thinking 1T over
that instead of preventing fraud on one
side. it makes the fraud simply, little
more difficult and opens the door { n fraud
on tho other side. and therefore | hon4

befoe the mortgagor sells or exchanges

changing mortgaged personal property.

quently done. The bill is simple and
requires but little discussion. Those
are the plain facts, the effect of the
bill and the purpose of the bill: and ]
trust that the House will allow it to
take its second reading.
Mir. LITTLEFIELD of Rockand:
Mr.. Speaker, l move that the bill be
indefinitely postponed. In making this
motion | will state to the House that
| have no interest in the bill whatever.
I never ran against anything of the
kind in my practice, in horse trade.
and | Ito not expect to, because | do
not trade horses to any extent, and L
have not been so fortunate or unfor-
tunate as to have any cases of horse
trades of this nature My ideas as to
the purposes or as to the advisability
of this bill, differ somewhat from
those of the gentleman from Bangor.
although we are both on the same
basis in this respect-he does not de-
sire the passage of the bill if it will
promote more fraud than it will cure.
| do not desire the defeat of the bill
if it will cure more fraud than it will
promote. | have discussed the bill
gentlemen learned in the law. and it
seemed to them as it does to me when
/ read it. that it would promote fraud
rather than cure it. If such is the eff
feet of it. and If the House deems such
will be the effect of it, have no doubt
the gentleman from Bangor desires
that the House would defeat the bill.
The bill provides that No consent by
the mortgagec of personal property to
the mortgager for the sale or exchange
of the mortgaged personal popety shall
be valid or be used in evidence in civil
process unless in writing and signed
by the mortgage or his assigns" And

Mr.. BARkER of Bangor: Mr..
Speaker what the gentleman from

given is perfectly true and just. but
| would suggest that at the time this
bill was introduced and notice was or
Iercd for hearing. the mayor OF Ban
gor, WHO was then mayor. for reasons
best known to himself. did not see fit
10 appear or send counsel or instruct
the representatives of the city of Han-
gor to appear in opposition to this bill.
The gentleman most interested in the
matter is Hon. f.. O. Beal of Bangor.
who was. yesterday, inaugurated as
mayor, and within 10 minutes after his
inaugural he asked that this bill be
recommitted to the committee.
Bangor has not been heard ut all.
Ii may be considered lacheS on the
part of the city of Bangor should so
consider u~-but that is not the fault
of the present mayor of Bangor, and
he has certain ideas in regard to this
bridge that he would like to bring be-
fore this committee, and he would like
to introduce an amendment to the bill
before the committee. If it is not
brought before the committee it will

to me in regard to the saving of time
which my colleague from Brewer
sneaks of that more tine would be
saved if this thing could go before the
committee and there be settled, one way
or another than to refuse TO commit 1t
to the committee and put us all to Il
discussion of this proposed amendment,
next Thursday, or at any other time.
because II il is not recomitted we shall
be Obliged TO discuss the amendment
here on the floor of the House when

U. OF M. NOTES.
Indoor Meet, March 2s.-The Election
of Senior Officers. ~"

Orono, Me, March 17.-(Specian-
The second annual indoor meet of the
University of Maine Athletic Asso-
citation will be held in the gymnasium
at Orono Saturday evening, March
18th. In order that this event shall be
of the greatest service to those upon
whom falls the work of making up the
track team this coming spring, it is
intended that this meet shall differ in
many respects from that held last year,
and most distinctly it is to be ? class
affair. Points will be distributed ac-
cording to first. second and third
places and all of the events will be
scratch events in which the best man
will win out. The success that at
tended the first one of these meets
held about a year ago was valuable
aid to those in charge of track ath-
letics and it Is intended by The man
agement to make this event if possible
surpass that of last year.
The list of events VIII include the Is
yard dash. the 25 yard low hurdles, the
% yard high hurdles. the high jump,
the pole vault, and the shot put, and a
relay race between teams from the
several classes. In addition to these
purely track events there will be an
exhibition of tumbling. fancy diving,
both high and broad, and formations
of pyramids in motion as well as sta
tionary.
AT the conclusion of the meet there
Will be a basket ball game between the
regular Varsity team and some one OF
the several teams Of the State. Final
arrangements for this game have not
been made as yet but it will be the aim
of the athletic committee to provide a
contest that Will prove of much inter-
est and will be fitting climax for the
already attractive program provided.

MI. BARKER: Mr.. Speaker, this bill
was introduced by me early in the SEES
sion. and referred to the committee on
Legal affairs. After a hearing it was
unanimously reported by the commit
tee, ought to pass. There was some
question at that time as to whether it
was advisable to pass this bill or not,
whether it would correct certain errors
open Il door to others. and in consid-
GRAFTON of the attorneys in the House it
was laid on the table that they might
! have Il fair opportunity to consider it.
! 1t was afterwards brought up and as
signed for certain day, which day
| happened to be the second day of the
resubmission hearing. | should like
| that the bin should continue it's read
| ings. if it be considered good bill, or.
| if not. that it be laid on the table in

the mortgaged personal property shall
