A Communication,

Editors Eennebec Journal:
l enclose copy of letter | have today.
sent to Hon. Fred ]. Allen. chairman
Of the judiciary committee and ask Won
to publish it in the Kennebec Journal.
Saturday. Feb. IS.
Thanking you i'll advance
Very truly yours.
SAMUEL c. MANLEY.
Augusta. Me. Feb. II, 1905.
Hon. Fred j. Allen, Chairman Judicial
~ Committee. Senate Chamber:
Dear Sir--1he Kennebec Journal of
Feb. 10. states that Il bill to change the
charter of the city of Augusta has been
referred to your committee.
Owing 10 my fathers recent death l
am so busy that may not be able to
attend the hearing on this bill. There
fore l hasten to write you regarding it,
ana ask that this letter be presented
to Your committee.
Some six years ago. a number of our
citizens. prominent in local affairs, took
un the question of Il thorough revision
OF our charter, with the result that Il
uermissivc bill was passed by the Leg
islttture and the proposed amendments
voted on by tie people. The majority
OF them. on submission to the popular
vote were rejected. several of the
changes proposed in this present bill
being among those which were then re-
jected by the people. TWO years ago
some members of the city council took
UP the question Of charter changes.
Lut the movement did not find favor
at the hands OF the city council.
Recently. /. myself. introduced All Or
Ger providing for the appointment of a
special committee of our city council
| to investigate the question of charter
changes. which committee gave two
public hearings. duly advertised in the
Kcnncbcc Journal. and after full con-
sidrrI;ion. unanimously reported
against any changes because no gencr-
III demand for them was manifested.
AS understand it, the present pro-
l,osed bill Will. if reported by your COM
| mittee and passed by the Legislature
| take eject without being voted upon
by the people.
BOW represent Ward of Augusta
us SHERMAN. Speaking for my constit-
uentS. | desire to enter my vigorous
protest against the passage of any Act
by the Legislature providing for
changes in the city charter Of Augusta
unless the Act provides that no change
shall take effect until Il ajority of the
legal voters at a proper election, have
expressed their approval thereof.
| will not go into the details of the
proposed bill. but will simply rest my
case OF the broad principles Of indi-
vidual liberty and home rule. which
firmly believe to be most dangerously
threatened if such a bill. without ref
erence to the peoples vote, is passed
by your honorable body.
Very respectfully yours,
SAMUEL. C. MANLEY.

AROUND SHAFT.
Fatal Accident at Shoe
Factory, Friday.
Arthur Curtis, Aged is. Meets a
Terrible Death.
His Body and Limbs Mass Of Bruises
and Broken Bones.

Iht Eaten Co.'S shoe factory. ON
Gage street. WAS the scene of a tcrri-
Die accident. Friday morning, in which
-.r'huf Curtis, the 16-ycar-old son Of
VT. ana Mrs. George Curtis. living
near fettengiils corner was wound
around piece of shafting and so scri-
ousiy injured that he died a few hours
after.
ne accident occurred in the sole
ie".her room of the factory. and was
que 10 the boy getting caught in rho
Delt that drives the cementing ma
chlhe' ana carried IN to the shaftinr
overhead. where he received mos,
terrible injuries before lie could b.
rescued. No one saw him when thn
belt caught him. and the tir.s. knnu.,
of the accident was when he WAS b,;rc,
carried around the shutting. I'm.
shaftlng revolved ut the rate OF about
l'2 times per minutes. ANA near il
were steam and water pipes. against
which the boys body struck al Zach
revolution. Some idea Of the force If
the blows may be had from the fact
that one Of the water pipes were brok
oil by the body striking it,
As soon as possible. the machinery
was stopped. and the unfortunate
youth was released from the shaftinc.
Meanwhile Plummer's ambulance.
which had been sent for, arrived. ana
the boy was taken to the City hospital.
where everything possible was done
that could be. His injuries were at
tended to by DR.. Davies. assisted by
Drs. Tuell and Sturtevant. but the
shock to the boys system had been so
great. that he was past all aid. and
died ut about 1.50 in the afternoon.
The pounding which the hoy had re-
ceived on the shafting was almost be-
yond description. and while the head.
and the body. with the exception Of
severe injuries on the right side of the
chest, escaped mutilation, the legs an!
arms were mass of bruises and brok-
ell bones. The right arm was broken
in three places, and the left leg was
broken twice. while the right ankle
was seriously injured by striking the
iron piping. the flesh being beaten SO
that it separated from the bones. The
hands and feet, also, were shockinglv
bruised.
The death of the boy is a hard blow
to the parents. and the heartfelt SYM
pathy of the community will go out to
them i'll their aiEliction.

Friday morning the Maine Legisia-
ture completed what may be fairly
termed as the busiest week since the

With raft Of important measures of a
general nature and the large number
Of bills, resolves and petitions bearing

ried into the hopper before the doors
We're finally closed. the amount of

off by President Goodwin ana Speaker
Drew has been enormous If the SEES
sion is shorter by one or two weeks it
will be due to the ability of these gem

the number of hearings on important
matters before the various joint COM
mitteeS which have borne large

time. The committees have consid-
cred i'll addition to hundreds of other

on matters Of such general Importance
could have been crowded into five
short days.
Daring the next few weeks the work
Of the committees will be much light

matters must yet come up for con-
sideration. Among the matters which
will occupy the attention of the COM
