The Superintendent Misguided.
To the Petersburg news:

10 Tue fdIkclSDulS uCWS'
In your issue of the twenty second
inst, there appeared dispatch IRON
Parkersburg that is so misleading as
to my views on the question discuss
ed that / desire TO ma Ike correction.
In my little talk OF five minutes to
the teachers at Parkersburg. ! said
nothing whatever about the legality
of the County Superintendent
teaching. Any reference to that sub
iect was in private conversation ana
was to the effect that bad not yet re-
ceived an opinion from the Attorney
General on the question. My own
opinion is expressed in the following
extract from a letter seLt to County
Superintendent on April s, 1905.
AS stated in former communications
the only changes made in the School
Law by the last Legislature are those
given on the four-paged folder re-
Gently IOT ulStliDCtioH. IL VIII ~ oS~A
that the bill permitting the County
Superintendent to teach did not pass,
so the old restriction stands, and the
Superintendent cannot even conduct
a summer term for teachers.
Furthermore the statement that the
law restraining the County Supe.In-
tendent from teaching was repealed
in 1909 is not correct, and 1t still re-
mains in our statutes. apd IN few
days expect to have an interpreta-
tioh from the Attorney General as to
its exact meaning and effect.
S, it will be seen that my position
i. almost the reverse OF that stated IN
the dispatch referred to above.
By publishing this note you Will
oblige.
Yours truly,
THOMAS MILLER,
State Superintendent of Schools.

AiLCsSTER TRUST.
Big Syndicate Said to be Trying to
n Form One.

A local, dealer who has been in Bos-
ton within Il few days says that the
dealers there have been approached in
the interests of capitalists who pro-
pose to buy up the lobster business so
that it can he controlled in the inter
ests of the New York and western
markets. This dealer says that Il repre-
sentative of the syndicate called on
John Cox one of the principal whole
sale dealers i'm Boston and he under
stands that all of the dealers there
received a visit from the man. who
while he gave no name said that h.
was backed by syndicate which had
81, 000. 900 which they wished 10 invest
for the purpose of controlling the lob
ster business. 1t is understood that
the agent is backed by Armour ana
some of the wealthy meat dealers. hut
is not known positively that it is thu
.ArmOur'S the agent is representing.
The dealers here are satisfied. however.
that there is something behind tho
whole thing, but just how much il il
hard to tell.
The agent i'll telling his story says
that it is fast becoming a recognized
fact that Holsters are a luxury rather
than necessity, and for that rea-
son it is desired to control the market
with a view to making the wealthy
pay big prices as it is known that thcv
will. so eager are they to obtain the
lobster
There was Il rumOr that the rc1 re
sentative of the syndicate WAS to come
to Portland and also go as far as
Iiockland and Boothbay Harbor with
Il view to making a similar proposition
to the dealers in this state.
4 local wholesale dealer WAS ;4ske Il
az; to what he thought of the matter
and he said that he felt that lie
scheme would hardly extend to Maine
but that it was a part of a plan To
control the catch Of the Holsters in Tie
provinces. as the bulk of those
taken in the provinces are taken 10
the Boston market.
This dealer said that he could sec
the wisdom Of buying up of the
Maine business us it would he rather
a hard thing for the syndicate to
compete With the dealers and fisher
men in Maine, even though they have
large amounts of money to do business
with. He says that the lobster bust
ness is above all things Il peculiar bust
hess and the only way for the syndi-
cate to accomplish the object would he
t" buy up the lobster pounds and make
satisfactory deals with the fishernen.
otherwise the obtaining Of the dob
sters would he very difficult mat
ter.
A small dealer in Holsters in this
city who has been away or business
during the past week says that day
or so ago It stranger entered his shop
hut did not disclose his business To
the man in charge. He is of the
opinion that the man may have been
an agent of the syndicate that is trying
I" buy up the business in Postor,
The larger dealers say that as yet
Trey have had no offer made to them
and they are inclined to think that
the deal only has reference 10 con-
trolling the provincial OUTPUT of lob
