MAINE COAST LOBsTERs.
General Scarcity Although the Catch
Last Fall Was Large In
Some Places.

1t is somewhat of surprise to the
numerous boatmen in this section of
the coast why Holsters are SO scarce
about Passamaquoddy bay when the
valuable crustaceans found in quaint
ties further along the Maine coast are
always in demand when fresh from the
water Considering the fact, says a
Bangor account, that the government
officials make frequent visits to this
part of the country and scatter the
FRY" about the deep waters with a
view of promoting their number later,
it is strange where these small she'll
fish co to when they are of sufficient
size to be caught by the fishermen, as
they certainly do seem plentiful here.
It is thought by many of the veteran
boatmen that the tides are too strong
down east for the fry and before
they get chance to get out of sight
under the rocks below, or get sufficient
growth to defend themselves against
the attacks of the many kinds of fish
that are eager to devour them, they
are carried further along the coast in
the under currents, which may account
for their scarcity in Passamaquoddy
bay and why they are found in such
numbers at other coast towns.
The lobster catch last fall has been
unusually large in many coast settle
ments, AMI many of the owners of
traps, who buy up the product of the
deep, have had more than they could
handle on some days, but by holding
their catch of Holsters the market price
was kept up, and many who did not
understand the situation supposed that
Holsters were becoming an extinct crus-
tacean, which is far from the truth.
Although this city and vicinity was at
one time noted for it's catch of Holsters
and the boiled 'redbacks'' we're plenti-
full in the markets, it is only OCCASION
ally that the shellfish are to be found,
although shipments are often made.
Since there is law against canning
the Holsters, in the state there is an
increasing demand for the catch by our
Canadian cousins across the border
and where number of lobster canning
plants are in operation when the sea-
son permits, but these same canned
goods are brought over the line and
sold on this side without difficulty.

Thunder,

Some recent experiments by Prof.
John Trowbridge, of Harvard univer-
sity. show in striking manner that
the astounding noise of lightning dis
charge is largely due to the dissocia-
ton of water vapor; moreover, the
length Of such discharges is greatly
modified by the amount Of moisture
present in the clouds.

 Medical Examiner Eliot, of East Ha- ven, who is acting medical examiner for this city during the absence of Dr. Bartlett, was summoned and viewed the remains.

While He Closed Q Window w-Freder-
 iek RoeL well, Wanted for Ten Counts
 of Burglary, at Large
 Frederick Rockwell. alias, Oliver F. Hart. alias Frank Rich. alias Scott. twenty three years old, held for trial in the superior court for burglary upon ten counts. escaped from the New Ha- ven county jail on whalley avenue Sunday night or early yesterday morn ing. by saving both bars of his cell door and those in the chapel window in the rear of the new jail. In order te go sroin the chapel window to the bath room roof and from this roof to the ground in Goffe street, Rockwell used a rope made by tearing the blankets from his bed into strips. He Followed the same route through the jail that Martin Lynch did when he escaped two years ago. The precautions taken by the jail officials at that time, of putting two iron doors between the new and the old parts of the building didn't amount to anything, as these were evidently un- locked and furnished Rockwell a pass age to the chapel.
 | An investigation yesterday indicated that Watchman Thomas O'Donnell, who was on duty Sunday night, did not follow the rules of the jail to the letter. 1s he had. fhe iron doors would have been closed. The escape was not dis covered until one Of the attendants went to the cell with breakfast for Rockwell.
 1 An inch iron bar had been sawed near the bottom and Rockwell was able to scueeze through. He was in cell F, which is but fifteen feet from the door which leads right into the jail office. In the rear of the chapel another inch iron bar was sawed. Lynch. when he escaped, went up through the cupola, but directly afterwards this was barred uc.
 Sheriff Durham went to police head quarters and there met Watchman O'Donnell, who was in the detective bu- reau to see Detective Donnelly upon another matter. ODonnell, when in formed by Sheriff Durham of the es- cape, said: .'He must have gone through the brick wall, for everything was all right last night"
 The police immediately started out to catch Rockwell, and telephoned police in every direction throughout the state. Rockwell was arrested in this city last December in Chapel street as he was boarding trolley car for the sta- tion by Detectives Daley and Ward.
 Goods taken from four houses in Wa terbury. two in New Britain, and three I in Hartford were found in his posses sion. Rockwells trial in Waterbury was set for next week.
 Rockwell comes from Sonerville, Mass. and has been arrested there twice for burglary. Once he escaped I from Deer Island prison by saving the bars of his cell door, but was later caught in Concord, N. H.
 4 It was stated at the jail last evening l tha. Watchman O'Donnell had gone to shut a window early yesterday morning and that while he was doing this it is probable that Rockwell escaped through the two iron doors.

STATEHOOD UP IN SENATE
The Bill Not to Be Reported Till
 After the Holidays

Washington, Dec. 1O.-The sen ate committee on territories at meeting this morning decided to postpone action on the statehood bill till next week. The bill was read and discussed, but owing to the absence of some of the mem- bers action was not taken. After the meeting Senator Beveridge, chairman of the committee, said that the committee would undoubt edly would take favorable action on the bill. Another meeting will be held Monday.
 The people of Arizona have made a protest against the feature of the bill which consolidates that terri tory with New Mexico as one state, and have asked for hearing, which the committee evinces disposition to grant. Senator Bard of Califor- nia, a member of the committee, today announced his opposition to consolidation. expressing an opin- ion that statehood should not be forced on the people of Arizona in opposition to their wishes, and say ing that the failure of the bill is preferable to it's passage in it's pres ent shape.
 As the committee now stands it consists of six republicans and four democratic members, and if the four democrats oppose the measure, as it is expected they will, the vote of the committee will be a tie This result can be averted, however, by filling the republican vacancy on the committee caused by the death of Senator Quay, and it is expected this action will be taken. The bill will probably not be reported until after the holiday recess.

The Post is in receipt of three communications through the mails addressed to "the best advertising medium in Tucson," "the newsy, newspaper of Tucson," and "the largest daily or weekly newspaper in Tucson,' containing in one in stance an advertisement and in the others requests for sample copies and subscription rates. This ought to satisfy the Citizen, which the other day boasted of receiving a communication addressed to "the leading newspaper of Tucson."- Tucson Post.
 Such letters as the above are nothing about which to get all swelled up over. Quite frequently the NEWS receives letter addressed to the leading newspaper of Will jams.

The NEWS makes the asser- tion, occasionally. that it's the best paper published in northern Ari- zona, and we've never been called down. If we were we could prove the truth of our statement, because the NEWS is published at least five miles further north than any other paper in the territory. Next!

THREE COUNTIES
 IN SAME BOAT

AIlLOiit io iidNiiiS "h V StiiOLiiS Oi county treasury troubles, the latest to come to the front with a sensa- tional story being Apache county, in which Leandro Ortega has been forced to resign as the result of a shortage in his accounts.
 For years Ortega has been one of the most popular of Apache coun- tvs officials, and when he was nom- mated before, the last election for the office of county treasurer by the republicans, the democrats en- dorsed him.
 When it came to being a candi- date for treasurer, Ortega was con- sidered invincible, and no man could be found with the temerity to make the race against him, so certain was his success considered.
 Before the election in Apache county, November 8, and after he had been endorsed by both parties, Treasurer Ortega left for Albuquer- que for visit. He left deputy in charge, who went over the books and found a big shortage.
 Ortega's bondsmen were notified and took charge of the office. Rath- CT than allow the matter to get be- fore the public in the courts, they made good the shortage, but forced Ortega to leave the matter in their hands.
 The shortage was made good be- fore it became known to the court officials, and for that reason no prosecution can be had against the defaulting Apache county treasurer.
 Ortega has been unable to secure a new bond, and Ben Schuster has been appointed by the Apache su- pervisors to fill his place. It is not expected that Ortega will have his bond ready to fill the term begin ming next January, and Schuster will more than likely be appointed to take his place.
 Apache's retiring treasurer is not being censured with any great de- gree of severity, for the reason that his shortage is due to his having helped people who could not pay their taxes during the hard years of his term.
 Those in Yavapai county, who are censuring exCounty Treasurer J. P. Storm, ascribe any shortage there may be in his office to the same cause that brought about the downfall of Ortega.
 In Gila county the treasurer has been suspended on account of a shortage in his office The matter will take it's course in the courts. Gila, with Apache and Yavapai, makes the three Arizona counties that furnish sensational county treasury stories.
 Suits hove been entered in the district court for Gila county against former County Treasurer A. H. Morehead and his bondsmen to re- cover alleged shortages occurring during Morehead's two terms of office
 The discrepancy, as alleged in 1900 is $3,S5976, and for the term ended December 31. 1903, $9,70S.S9. Judgment is asked for in each case for the full amount, with interest. Prescott Herald.
