Senator Hale, as was to be expected
of him, stands by his action in OPP
posing the Philippine tariff bill, and
resents as entirely unwarranted the
criticisms of his action that are being
made.
The Washington correspondent OF
the Bangor Commercial prints the fol-
lowing statement from Senator Hale
relative to the matter:
II am told the Lewiston Journal finds much
fault with Senator Hale for preventing the
Philippine tariff bill from being reported to
the Senate, and it charges the senator with
pigeonholing the bill in the committee.
1.-THE committee on ways and means of the
House, which reported and passed the Philip
pine tariff bin through that body, has Just
done the same thing. 1t not only refused 10
report to the House the John Sharp Will
liams' 100 per cent. tariff reduction resolu-
ton, but also refused to report that this reso-
luton had been tabled and left to slumber in
the pigeon-holes of the committee
'TThe result was reached by strict party
vote, all of the republican members voting TO
take no action upon the resolution. but to
leave it in committee.
AS is we'll known, Mr.. Hale has all
along commended that one Of the
strongest reasons against bringing the
Philippine tariff blu into the Senate
was that it would engender a long
tariff discussion and encourage the
agitation for revision.
AS the interests of Maine are
against revision and for the confirm
ance of the Dingley tariff law in oper-
alton, Mr.. Hale has been unrelenting
in fighting every kind of legislation
that might open up the tariff question.
Only few days ago Senator Bailey,
the minority leader. served notice
that if the Philippine bill was brought
in, its friends must be prepared to
discuss the tariff question generally.

stronger now than then; the present
sheriff will be renominated by his
party; his pledges elected him; his
performances have been in keeping
with his pledges, and, to say the least,
he is therefore as strong now as he
was then.
The republicans cannot afford to
underestimate this strength, and
must, in order to win, place in nomi-
nation a man of equal strength. If
they do this there can be no doubt as
to the result. There is ample ma
terial from which to make selection.
The candidates are as follows: r. A..
Eddy, John Suminsby, John E.
Bunker, Bar Harbor; P. B. Day,
d. L. Fields, B. T. Sowle, E.
K. Hopkins, Ellsworth; W. s. Trew-
orgy, surry. And there may be
others.
Equally important is it that the
convention makes no mistake in the
other nominations. Two senators are
to be nominated. From the western
part of the county the present sena-
tor, Sumner P. Mills, will be reHomi-
mated without opposition. In the
eastern part three well-known men
are aspirants--Dr. J. III. Patten, of
Amherst, L. B. Deasy, of Bar Harbor,
and F. Carroll Burrill, of Ellsworth.
For clerk of courts no one has thus
far given evidence of temerity
enough to contest the denomination
of the present incumbent, John F.
Knowlton, who for the past fourteen
years has filled the Office with con-
spicuous ability and fidelity.
For Judge Of probate Judge o. P.
Cunningham, of Bucksport, is can
didate for denomination. He has
been honored with this office, to
which he has given the best part of
his days, for the past twenty two
years, and appeals to his record as
ground for his continuance therein.
His opponent is Judge E. E. Chase, of
Bluehill, who has been an active and
aggressive republican for a score of
years, during which he has held many
Offices, town, State and federal, and
he, too, appeals to his record.
Charles Fl. Wood, of Bar Harbor,
expects a denomination for county
attorney in accordance with party
usage, although L. F. Giles, of Els
worth, has announced his candidacy
for this Office.
For county commissioner there are
three aspirants-Nahum Hinokley, of
Bluehill, the present incumbent; J. NJ.
Hutchins, of Penobscot, who has held
the office before, and Fred r. Page, of
Bucksport-all worthy men.
The veteran William B. Campbell,
the present register of deeds, will be
renominated without opposition--a
deserved tribute to his worth in the
office he has held SO long.
For county treasurer Robert b.
Holmes, of Ellsworth, is the only man
whose name has thus far been men
toned, and he will doubtless be nomi-
mated without opposition.
There is clearly no lack of material
to make the strongest kind of ticket
one which can successfully with
stand the assaults of the enemy
either on the stump or at the polls.

SCREAMS IN TERROR

KILLED
Water Carrier Employed by Pacific
Electric Company Fails to Get off
the Track Until Pasadena Coach
Is Upon Him

H. Komo an employe of the Pacific
Electric company. was struck and al
most instantly killed yesterday morn
ing near Schuetzen park by being run
down by Pasadena car
Komo was a water carrier for a num-
ber of workmen engaged in making
some repairs on the roadbed.
When the car approached all the
other workmen left their tools and
hastily jumped to one side of the track,
but Komo apparently did not realize
the car was so close to him.
He turned around, gave scream of
terror, and in another instant he was
hurled twenty feet to one side of the
track. The impact broke his back and
fractured his skull.
The man was breathing when he was
picked up by his fellow workfnen, but
he died before he could be placed on
a citybound car.
The body was removed to Pierce
Bros morgue. An inquest will proba-
bly, he held today. The name of the
decedent was obtained from the pay
rolls, but nothing further was known
about him.
The officials of the railway company
stated 1t was their opinion the accident
happened through the carelessness of
Komo. 1t was said the employees of
the company have been repeatedly
warned to watch for approaching cars
While they are working on the tracks.

Gas RATE WAR
OPENS IN COURT
ARRESTED EMPL0YE PLEADS
NOT GUILTY
Case of Man Accused of Charging
More Than Legal Tariff VIII
Go to the Higher
Tribunal

A bitter legal fight has begun be-
tween the city and the Peoples Gas
company to determine the validity of
the city ordinance making it a misde-
meanor to charge more than S5 cents
per thousand cubic feet of gas.
S. Weatherholt appeared before Po-
lice Justice Rose yesterday afternoon
and pleaded not guilty to charge of
collecting excess rates from A. Jones,
a consumer of gas.
The case was set for hearing Septem-
Der 1, but it is believed the real battle
will be waged in the higher courts,
where the ordinance will be attacked
by skillful corporation lawyers.
The city prosecutor says the gas
company recently made a rate of rs
cents per thousand cubic feet, but
when the bills were payable con-
sumers found an extra charge of 25
cents per thousand feet for "spe .ial
delivery"
1t is said the Los Angeles Gas and
Electric company promptly complied
with the provisions of the ordinance
and fixed it's maximum rate at S5 cents.
The company formerly known as
Professor loves company" appar-
emily gave a lower rate, but the city
claims it's rate is really 81 per thou
sand cubic feet.

Says After Long Tour That

~ Assoclated press.

ItN ASSOCldleu fItSSs
NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-w. c. Brown,
vice president of the New York Central
system, recently returned from jour-
ney Of more than three thousand miles
through the middle west, undertaken
with the object of ascertaining the
actual crop situation.
He visited the states Of Illinois, In
diana, Missouri and Iowa, and has pre-
pared special reports on the conditions
i'm Kansas and Nebraska. In all of
these, according to his observations,
the crops this year will be remarkable
as to both quantity and quality.
In speaking of his trip Mr.. Brown
said:
"I believe that the United States this
wear will have a larger harvest of
grain Of all sorts than ever before and
will market it at better price, con-
sidering the size of the crops.
"The wheat crop in the six states in
which have personally made investi-
cation will be magnificent.
kansas this year is going to pro-
duce a wheat crop of about 90,000,00O
bushels Last year it produced S7,000,-
900 bushels.
1.-THE corn crop is in splendid condi-
tion. In Kansas and Nebraska a corn
crop on as large a scale as ever before
is practically assured. Iowa will pro-
duce 900 bushels of corn and
possibly 355. 100000.

four counties in the northeast, all the
counties will have a banner showing"

CONTRACT WRAPPED UP
IN BALL OF RED TAPE
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT AGAIN
is DELAYED
Document as President Refuses
Again to Place His Signature in
Mayors Place

The contract for the retaining wall
on Hope street between Second and
Third has not yet been signed, and
Contractor James Hill hovers about
the city hall daily to learn when he
is to begin work.
AS the mayor and board of public
works had refused to sign the contract,
the city council Monday authorized the
president to attach his signature to
the document. Percy Harmon of the
Second ward was president of the
council Monday but he refused yester
day to attach his signature.
There are three places for sigma
lures on the document. One is where
it is signed by the president of the
council in his official capacity another
where it is signed by the city clerk and
a third where it is signed by the mayor.
To make the contract valid, the presi-
dent of the council will have to sign
his name where the mayors should be-
He signed as president of the council
yesterday, but he refused to sign in
the mayors place. Mr.. Harmon
claims that as the president of the
council was instructed to sign for the
mayor that duty devolves upon Theo-
dore Summerland, the regular presi-
dent of the council, and not upon him
self, who acted merely as president
pro tenn.
The contract for this work was let
by the council committee of public
works at time when a regular board
of public works should have been in
office, according to the charter amend
ment. For this reason and because he
did not believe the city should stand
the entire expense of the retaining
wall, which is nearly $40, 900, as it is in
tended to benefit private property, the
mayor turned the document over to
the board of public works. The board
also refused to sign it. believing the
work should be done under the Vroo-
man act and at the expense of the
property owners.
The refusal of these officials to take
the necessary action was the cause of
the council ordering the president 20
sign the contract.

YOUNG WOMAN DIES
FROM RATTLESNAKE BITE
PLEASURE OUTING PARTY COMES
TO TRAGIC END
Former Popular Pupil Of Los Angeles
School of Art and Design Suceumbs
In Agony From Effects Of Ser
pent's Poison

Beautiful Anna May Reichard lies
dead at her home in Covina as the re-
suit of a snake bite received in Fish
canyon Tuesday afternoon.
Together with five friends. Miss
Reichard started on a tramp to Fish
falls, five miles from the young peoples
camp at the mouth of the canyon.
Miss Reichard was leading, when
suddenly her friends heard her scream
and saw a huge rattler gliding into
the creviceS of the rocks.
Two of the young people quickly re-
turned for medical aid, but when the
rescuers arrived at daybreak yesterday
the young woman was convulsed by the
deadly poison and short time later
died in awful agony.
Miss Rae Elliott, one of the party,
tried to relieve the sufferer by sucking
blood from the tiny holes which marked
the place where the serpent's fangs had
entered above the shoe top, but it was
then too late.
Miss Reichard was one of the most
popular pupils of the Los Angeles
School of Art and Design, which she
attended.
