SAN DOMINGO PROTEcToRATE?
Rumor Washington is Pledged to Inter
vention.

San Juan, P. r., Dec. $50 manv
people in Porto Rico are convinced TIA
within few months American inter-
vention in San Domingo will be a fact
that every steamer from here to that
republic carries several prospectors
looking for good things in the ricn
island. From numerous points come
rumors that President Morales of san
Domingo has received ample assurances
that the Administration at Washington
has determined to establish lasting
peace in San Domingo. and protect
American and foreign interests from
continued disturbance by revolutions
In San Domingo sentiment on the
question of an American protectorate
continues to be divided the cities gen.
orally supporting ana the rural COM
munities generally opposing interven-
ton by the United States. A consider
able element would prefer temporary
Spanish control, as Spain would never
threaten the independence Of the island,
and would assure strong governmental
assistance and supply a market where
san Domingo products would always be
welcomed with but slight if any tariff
restrictions. This affiliation would b.
more natural than one with the Ameri-
cans. Advices from San Domingo intli-
cate that President Morales is strength
ening his position by organization of n
permanent army. and by a policy of
general amnesty to all exiles who are
willing to return, swear allegiance ami
sign their own death warrants as a
penalty for again taking part in any
attempt to overthrow the Government.
This foresight by Morales may save the
bother of many court martials in the
future, and will doubtless have the
effect Of chilling revolutionary ardor by
diplomacy instead of by the bullets of
Morales firing squad. 1t also shifts the
responsibility to the men who sign
these modern Shylock bonds. Anleri-
cans who have recently visited San
Domingo say that great opportunities
there await the coming of permanent
peace. Valuable sugar and timber
lands can be bought for less than a dol
lar an acre, and some americans in San
Juan already hold remarkable conces-
sions made by President Morales.

Right to Cut Down Poles.

Middleburg. Pa, Dec. 23.-In the
equity case of the United Telephone &
Telegraph Company against Charles
Hover. of Selinsgrove. Judge Mcclure
decided that telephone and telegraph
companies in Pennsylvania have no
right to enter upon private lands and
plant poles and construct lines, neither
have they the right to erect their poles
and lines on public roads unless the
companies first pay damages that may
ocur to owners of the lard.
The Judge said land owners would be
justified in cutting down poles and
abating the nuisance when the COM
panies transgress the law.

Today.

The law court resumed session, yester-
dav morning. at $50 o'clock. The pro-
ceedings of the day were the same rou-
tine as followed by the previous ses-
sions of the court, and was attended
bv a number of interested lawyers as
spectators. The cases of York county,
the last on the docket were before the
co,1rt for consideration. Only two cases
from this county were ready Tor oral

entire day.

All other cases on this docket were
carried over to the next term of the
court sitting in Bangor.
The first cases for oral argument was
that of the state of Maine against
Charles A. Eastman. George L. Emery
county attorney, appeared for the
plaintiff ard Hon. !1noch Foster and
Hon. James Q. Bradbury for the re
snondcnt.
The case was long drawn out by the
respective counsel and at the conclu-
sion the decision was reserved.
The above case has Eeen one of un-
usual interest, having occupied consid-
erable time and numerous hearings in
the lower courts. The plaintiff in the
present action, DR.. Charles A. Eastman.
a practicing physician of Old Orchard,
was INFLICTED at the session of the
supreme court held at Alfred, York
county. in May, for the murder of Edith
Mcintyre. and the case came to the
attention of the law court on exceptions
filed by the defendant attorney.
The next case was that of Charles :.
Steyers against David d. Walker for
malicious prosecution and another with
the same principals Cor assault and
| battery. The plaintiff was represented
| by Seide IL Harmon and George e. and
Leroy Healy. The defendant was repre-
sented by C)eaves. Watcrhouse & EN-
cry. Fairfield & Moore, and Foster <
| Hersey.
I This case came TO the law court on
motion by the defendant for a new
trial on exceptions of law points.
| Both cases We're argued together as
| the evidence was material the same in
each. In the lower case the defendant
was found guilty of the alleged assault
and the jury returned a verdict of dam
ages to the amount of $3.50.

The following rescripts were handed
down, yesterday:
Kennehec County-Charles H. Davis
VS.. American Express Co.
Rescript per curiam.
The plaintiff was a railway postal
clerk On a Maine Central railroad train.
1t was in the line of his duty to leave
the train at stations to collect the mail
in the mail boxes there. For this pur-
pose as the train approached the Halo
well station, he descended to the lowest
step of the postal car ard facing in
ward. grasping the iron supports with
his hands, he let his head and should
ers swing out beyond the car prepara-
tory to stepping from the car and the
platform when opposite the mail box.
While in this position the train being
still in motion, his head was injured by
contact with a spring bed loaded on a
truck of the American Express Co. in
the usual position on the platform, to
be ullioaded into the express car.
He complains that the spring bed was
improperly loaded on the track in that
ii was allowed to project several inches
over the side next the rail and nearer
the rail than was necessary.
1t does not appear, however, that the
plaintiff was under the least necessity
to project his head and shoulders be-
yond the car while the train was in
motion. His being postal clerk in the
employ of the United States did not
impose upon him any such duty, nor
did it afford him any exemption from
the duty incumbent on all persons, to
exercise ordinary prudence in taking
care for his own safety.
1t is evident that the plaintiff was
himself careless and that it was that
carelessness which brought his head
in contact with the spring bed. Hence
he aas no cause of action against the
express company.

4 Sane Fourth.

Washington is to be congratulated
upon the passing of a sane Fourth Of
July. The police had TO work hard,
but the results secured were worth
it, There were accidents. Of course,
hut they were neither numerous nor
severe. There was noise, too. but it
did not begin until a reasonable hour
in the morning, and it consisted moro
of desultory popping than of huge
and continuous roar. HCodlumism
was also noticeably absent, a cOnsum-
nation for which the entire com
munity was devOtedly grateful.
While the ideal of the foreigner
in our midst" that the day should
be celebrated with music by the
bands ana patriotic songs by the
children. professions and inspiring
transparcrcies. was by no means
realized. still the total effect of the
day. in contrast with some Wash
inato1 has experienced, was peace
fulness porsonideG. No one be
grUdCCs a good time for the real
children. and all the real children we
know had it.
Without question much of the
credit for this remarkable celebration
Of Independence Day was due to the
wise District regulations, which bar
red from sale the more dangerous
explosives. Other communities may
learn q valuable lesson from Wash
ington's success. It is a difficult task
