upon this application exhibits a grave defect in the law. Under the federal statute, as con- strued by every recent decision of the supreme court of the United States and by an older case in our own supreme court, I have no authority whatever to extradite Mrs. Dye. "The holdings In this opinion are
 clear and explicit to the effect that to warrant extradition the person accused must have been personally in the state where the crime was committed, and
 must have fedtherefrom after the com l mitment of the crime. Mrs Dye was not in South Dakota
 and therefore could not have fled from that state.
 T regret this conclusion, because if
 Mrs. Dye is guilty of murder she must
 be tried for that offense in South Da-
 kota or not at all unless the statute be changed.
 T have submitted the matter to the
 attorney general, and this ruling is
 made under his adviee.'

Thirteenth Annual of William E. Glad
 stone Lodge.
 The thirteenth annual masquerade ball given at Music hall last evening by William E. Gladstone lodge No. S74. Or der of the Sons of St. George, was a record-breaker, not only in point of at tendance, but from the fact that every one present spent most enjoyable eve ming.
 At g o'clock the grand march was started and was led by the officers of the lodge, about four hundred couples following. Those on the floor were all masked and wore handsome and unique costumes.
 A dance programme of twenty num- bers was furnished by Bruce's full or chestra, and the prompting for the square dances was ably done by J. Hague.
 Dancing was continued until an early hour this morning, when the happy dancers departed for their homes.

SCHOOL TEACHERS SALARIES.
An Investigation Now in Progress.

An Investigation Now in Progress.
A meeting of the committee appointed
by the Maine State Teachers Conven-
ton to investigate the matter of sala-
ries paid to public school instructors in
this State has been held at the office of
Payson Smith, superintendent of Au-
burn schools, to arrange preliminary
plans for the work. Those present
were Superintendent Smith, chairman
of the committee, w. G.. Mallett of
Pennington, and G. F. Cook of Augusta.
Only an outline of the work was
made. 1t was voted to compile a list
of questions bearing upon the subject
to be Investigated and to send copy to
the superintendent of schools in every
town and city in Maine.
Besides this, circulars asking for GER
tain other facts will be sent to every
State superintendent of schools in the
United States.
Efforts also will be made to secure
figures and other facts from the New
England States.
The information thus obtained will
be tabulated and deductions drawn. 1t
is believed that the committee will be
able to show that teachers in Maine are
receiving less pay than those of any
other State in the Union except posi-
bly, some State located in tire SO -called
black belt.
The committee hope to be able to
report about the first of January.

TOTAL JUDGMENT SCI, 600.
Verdict is Hard-Fought Damage Suits
Against Maine Central X. r.. Co.


Against Maine Central r. r.. Co.
AUGUSTA, Me-, Nov. %. The jury in
the case of the several Winslow parties
who brought suit in the aggregate of
$4,000 against the Maine Central rail-
road for damages incurred by being
run into by a train that was backing
down in the freight yard, returned a
verdict last night after being out five
hours, of $21, 60S99 OF this sum ST.
55s goes to Lydia W. Wood, $9,S66 to
Ella Beedy and $4,2O4 to Arthur E.
Reedy. The case has been ore of the
most important at this term of the su-
preme court and has been running near
ly week. A long list of witnesses on
both sides were introduced INTO the
case.
While the verdict is rendered this
does not necessarily mean the end of
the case, as it is very probable that it
will be taken before the law court on
the ground of excessive damages.
One of the jurors on this panel claim
ed that the jury without a dissenting
vote were in favor of verdicts for the
plaintiff on the first ballot. The ques-
ton of how much proved to be the
bone Of contention, some being in favor
OF excessive damages and others esti-
mating the damages at considerably
less than the amount finally agreed
upon. The two factions arrived at the
sum named in the verdict by compro-
mise, after long discussion.

Important to L0bstermen.

The following rescript from the Law
Court. defining the authority and duties Of
the Fish Commissioners and Wardens, will
interest many:
Knox County, State of Maine, vs.. N. j,
Hanna.
Savage, j.
The Revised Statutes, Oh. Al, Sec. II, pro-
vide that no person shall have in his posses
sion any lobster less than ten and half in
ches IN length and fixes penalty for viola
tl0n OF this provision at one dollar for each
lobster. Section 81 of the same chapter
provides that all fines and penalties for
having "shOrt" Holsters in possession NAV
De recovered on complaint, Indictment or
action of debt, that the suit shall be brought
IN the name of the Commissioner of sea
ana shore fisheries, and that all offences un-
ger the provisions Of the statutes, forbid
ding having short Holsters in possession
may be settled by the commissioner upon
such terms and conditions as he deems adj
visable. Held:
II. The Commissioner of Sea and Shore
Fisheries has authority to settle offences of
this character without suit or prosecution.
2. 1t is not unlawful for him to advise.
may even go to the extent of pointing out
that the alternative will be a criminal pro-
SecutiOn.
g. He may authorize one of his wardens
TO make demand for payment Of the penalty
incurred
4. Such warden has no authority to
settle" with an offender. But this case
shows that he did not attempt to ''settle,"
ne simply carried out the instructions of
his superior, the commissioner.
5. For fish warden, acting under the
instructions of the commissioner, and with
out malicious, corrupt or oppressive intent,
to write to an offender that his lobster case
is not yet settled, that he owes the State
nine dollars, and that unless that amount
is paid to the commissioner before a date
named, he (the warden) is ordered to take
defendants case to the grand jury, does
not constitute extortion within the mean
ing of Section % of Chapter 119, Revised
Statutes.
Judgment for defendant.

of ignorance, poverty and

bondage of ignorance, poverty and
debt.
The freight on a sack of coffee, 13s
pounds, is about one cent per mile
therefore coffee coming from the end
OF the Dom Pedro II. Railway must pay
in the neighborhood of 81 per sack fol-
transportation to the shipping point
one-third of the value when delivered
in Rio. From Rio to New York the
freight rarely exceeds go cents pei
sack, and is often as low as 25 cents.
Thus fifty miles of railway carriage in
the country where it grows costs more
than 5000 miles of ocean travel. Many
of the planters still send their coffee to
market by mule train, considering that
the cheaper way transportation. The
entrance into Santos of a mule train is
always preceded by a white horse,
wearing a string of bells around it's
neck, and all the mules obediently fol-
low the leader.
Sometimes troops of several hundred
arrive in morning; and again there
are weeks when none appear. Every
mule brings two bags of coffee on his
back, each bag weighing 139 pounds.
Having made long, slow journeys, often
hundreds of miles, the animals are pitt
able looking objects when their bur-
dens are removed, for the constant
saving of their loads has not only
abrased the skin, but in many instances
ground off the flesh to the bone.
The bags are dumped in huge piles in
the custom house yards, and around
them cargadores Immediately collect
like swarms of black flies. There are ex-
port duties to pay, and every bag must
be pierced and sample withdrawn, in
order to determine the quality and the
duty thereon. The tariff, based on the
market price, is regulated anew every
Saturday. The sampling instrument is
brass tube, shaped exactly like pen.
When the point is pushed into sack
of coffee, the berries run down through
the tube; and, after handful has been
extracted, the instrument is withdrawn.
and its point turned over like crochet
hook, thus closing the opening. The
operation occupies only few seconds,
and the samples taken out amount to
many tons in the course of year.
They, together with all samples of ex-
ported sugars, are presented to the
Lepers' Hospital

A GLUE FACTORY AT MANSET.

Our Manset correspondent last week
made brief mention of new industry
to be established in that place, and we
find in an exchange the following fur
Their particulars: Manset is largely a
fishing section, with numerous fish
Wharves and sheds located there, where
fish are cured, and there are fresh
fish dealers also. To this location a
firm from Gloucester propose to come
and establish a glue mandatory, and
possibly later to include the packing of
homeless fish to the industry At pres
ent the young men whom it is under
stood are representing a. T. Dodd &
Co. of Gloucester, have taken a lease
of the fish houses and wharf of Charles
Hopkins, and lumber will arrive from
Bangor within few days to make nee
essary changes and Improvements in
the buildings for the new business and
the machinery that will be put in. The
expense Of putting the buildings in con-
dition will be considerable, but it is said
the work is to be completed in March
that the machinery may be installed
and that work will begin in early May
when the fishing season opens Glue
will be manufactured from the heads
OF cod, pollock and funk, and surround
ed by fishermen and fish dealers, also
being in a central location for Bass
Harbor, Prospect Harbor and all the
fishing towns, it would seem that ma
terial will not be lacking and that a
better location could not be found in
Hancock county. The number employ
ed in manufacturing glue will be small
especially in the beginning, but if later
the firm decides to branch out and in
clude the putting up of shredded fish in
boxes, there will be employment for
many people.

WINTER CAMP LIFE,
In Theory it Beats the Good Old Summer
Time.

In Theory it Beats the Good Old Summer
1t is our idea that the mistake folks
make in this section who build woods
camps, is in planning to use and enjoy
them only during the summer months.
With this idea in mind, we have been
engaged the past week in putting our
camp on the Pressure Isle stream on to
winter footing. We have stuffed the
cracks between the logs with excelsior,
and pounded the stutfing in solidly with
hammer, not emitting incidentally to
bark several knuckles and put mourn
Ing border around our thumb nail. We
have laid double floor, sheathed and
shlngled the gables and plastered on to
the inside walls all the flotsam ana jet
sam of the Star-Herald Office in the
shape of back numbers of exchanges.
over these we have tackled couple of
rolls of carpet-felt and lastly we have
gone outside and gathered large quanti-
ties OF fir boughs and with these banked
the camp up to the window stills. We
shall next put up small board shack
and cover 1t with tarred paper, in which
be prepared, if the weather and travel
ing P0tAAe, W So vi anu tIy NdIlp NE
under the rigorous conditions of a
Northern Maine winter
SO far we admit the scheme exists
only in theory, and may not pan out
according to our expectations. But it
is certainly attractive enough in theory
to almost eclipse the summer delights
of camping on the Presque Isle stream.
One, for instance, will exchange the
canoe for a horse and pung, the smooth
and placid water for a winding track of
glistening ice, the persistent flies and
mosquitoes of the good old summer
time for frost crystals, and the warm
weather vlstas OF green foliage for
winding views of glistening white. Tn
doubtedly drive up stream on a bright
winter day with the mercury within
hailing distance below the freezing
point, will compare favorably with any
canoe trip that has ever been made,
and IT one can have at the end of such
five mile drive, a snug and coy camp
to tie up at, the delight and luxury of
the thing are complete.
We are simply making the expert
ment, and if we succeed in demOnstrat-
ing that one season is as good as an
other for camping up stream, it will be
equivalent to a new and startling dis
covery, the building of a woods camp
on the Presque Isle stream will assume
broader proportions and larger import
ance, and those who are now holding
back, thinking the trouble and expendi-
ture too great for the returns secured
in our six weeks summer, will revise
their ideas at once and hasten to secure
lots and get into shape the plans and
specifications for their cottages.-Star-
Herald, Presque Isle.

Dedication of Lord Hall.

The dedicatory exercises of Lord Hall,
at the University of Maine, Nov 22d,
were held in the presence Of a large audi
ence which included many prominent
State officials and citizens. This building
is named for Hon. Henry Lord Of Bangor
president of the Board Of Trustees of
the University for the past II years.
1t contains new laboratories and enlarg-
ed shops for the mechanical and electri-
cal engineering department, and was
built with special appropriation of
$35, 900 by the last State Legislature.
The building was delivered to the State
by Mr.. Lord. It had been planned to
have it accepted by Gov. John F. Hill,
but Gov. Hill had not returned from a
visit to St. Louis. The remainder of
the programme was as follows: entrust-
ing the keys to the president and facul-
ty by U. S. Senator Eugene n. Hale;
acceptance of the trust by President
Fellows; and dedicatory address by
VIM. T. Cobb, governor-elect.

PROHIBITION IN SOMERSET.
"Stalwart Prohibitionists in the Democrat,
Party

StalWart PrOhibitiOnists in the Democratic
Party
The Waterville Sentinel asks the Re-
porter to locate the "Stalwart prohi-
bitionists in the Democratic party"
We are not in the locating business for
the Sentinel but can name a few in
Somerset. One of these was stalwart
enough to lash the Sentinel we'll, few
days ago, for the attempt to commit the
Democracy of Maine to resubmission
and the saloon interest. Another has
been stalwart enough as prohibition
lst to do his part handsomely as sheriff
OF Somerset county, to make it a dry
county for two years past. Still an
other Democrat in Skowhegan is stall
Wart enough as a prohibitionist to give
violatOrs of the law in this county
straight sentences as municipal judge,
and introduce gOOdly number of them
to the interior of the county Jail. More
over three-fourths of the Democrats of
Somerset county sustain the sheriff and
the court in the course they have taken
in the performance of their duties in
these cases. Furthermore nine-tenths
OF the Democrats in Somerset who vot-
ed in the September election voted for
the reelection of Sheriff Lang, although
they knew that if reelected he would
enforce the prohibitory law as vigorous
ly as he has for two years past. Mr..
Lang's stalwart prohibition principles
caused him to come within 30 votes of
overcoming a Republican plurality of
1928 on the governors vote, and this
Notwithstanding the fact that Mr..
Smith, his opponent, stood upon an
iron clad enforcement platform, and
had, in public print before and after
his nomination, made most emphatic
statements of his purpose to enforce
the prohibitory law without fear or
favor. Mr.. Smith would have been
beaten out of sight but for these state
ments in public print. These are facts
the Sentinel must concede if it knows
anything about the situation in Somer-
set.-Somerset Reporter.

THE PRIZE MOOSE.

Weighed 1850 Pounds. and it Took Ten
Men to Get Him on a Cart.
While the record fornumber of moose
shot this season in Maine promises to
be larger than any previous year, there
have been comparatively few large ones
killed; that is, but few over 500 pounds.
The record moose of the season so
far, it is believed, is the one which was
shot by c. L. Adams of Lubec in the
town of Whiting. This moose weighed
1850 pounds, and measured 10 feet and
2 inches from the tip of his nose to his
hoofs.
Washington county is becoming the
best moose region in Maine, the terri
tory in some parts of that county being
a favorite feeding ground with the big
fellows. c. L. Adams, who shot the big
year goes into the woods for the best
there is, not bothering with ordinary
deer.
Last fall Mr.. Adams shot the biggest
bear seen in the county for some years;
in addition to his usual allowance of
deer.
Mr.. Adams saw this moose at some
distance. The big beast was making
for thick swamp, and it was case of
shooting then or never The first shot
did not hit the moose, but whizzed over
his head. He stopped, faced about and
was all ready for fight.
This gave Mr.. Adams fine shot and
he sent bullet into the lungs of the
big beast, which ran but short dis
lance and dropped and was dead when
Mr.. Adams reached him.
1t took 10 men some little time to get
the moose out of the woods and to the
road, where he was loaded upon an OK
cart and taken in triumph to Lubec,
where he attracted lots of attention,
even where big game is no novelty.
