sARKENTINE REPORTS HARD
STRUGGLE WITH ELEMENTS,

Portland. Me-. Jan. S.-The barken-
tine. Mary Barry, came in port last
evening towed by the tug John Wose-
ley after very hard passage from
Jacksonville. Fla. During a hurricane
off Charleston, S. c., she was blown
many miles to sea. She suffered loss of
half dozen sails. taft rail was
smashed together with the cabin, in
juring it SO badly that it was afioat
lii short time. She also lost several
thousand feet Of her cargo, which con-
sisted of hard pine.
After the hurricane it required her
four days to get back to Charleston,
where she was taken in tow to Boston.
Here she changed tugs and again pro-
ceeded for st. John, n. B., her destina-
ton, but on account of the bad wealth
er put in here. AS soon as weather con-
ditions permit she will proceed to her
destination.
This barkentine was formerly the
Jessy McGregor. but was sold about
three years ago by her agents, j. S.
Winslow & Co, to Boston parties.

Caused By Gradual Filling
Of PeppereIFs Cove.
Congressman Have Petition for
Dredging Of HaTbor.
Best and Safest Refuge For Ships
in Storms From South.

Portsmouth, N. H., Jan. S.-Alarmed
by the gradual filling up of Pepperell's
cove on the Maine side of this har-
Dor, which is considered the best and
safest anchorage for vessels in storms
from the south, Il petition has been
placed in the hands of Maine and NeW
Hampshire senators and congressman
for the dredging of the haven.
The filing of the cove rs supposed to
be largely due to the removal of Hen
lerson's Point, which was blown up
last year, the tide having carried the
loosenei soil into the cove. Ii the
place is dredged now, the mariners
say, there is little probability Of its
filling up again as the removal Of the
point has changed the course of 4
strong current that formerly ran down
the river and carried mud into the an
cnOIgo.
The improvements made for the past
two years by The national government
in the harbOr have not only aided the
navy yard but have attracted addi-
tional tonnage of merchant vessels. In
1906 there was Il total entry of 1O4114
tons and 1880 vessels, as against &c.,
1GS tons and 2GS6 vessels IN 1905.

woman said to be Mother Elinor. the
head of the order in the United States,
and a man known as Brother Ripley,
both from the headquarters IN Madison
Square, New York. were here today and
engaged counsel to secure Michaels re-
lease.
Mother E.linor claimed that Prince
Michael was induced to leave England
by a cablegram to which was forged
the name of an official high in order,
requesting that he come here for the
reason that he is much needed. She
claims that the message was sent by
one of his enemies who knew he
would not be admitted. 1t Is said that
the order was instituted by Father
Rapp in Philadelphia 60 years ago and
has 100000 converts. Prince Michael.
whose nationality is English, is about
65 years old and has lived at Detroit,
Mich, many years.
The board of inquiry decided that
Prince Michael and his wife, who ac-
companied him. should be depOrted, on
the ground that his return would be
involation of his parole and she would
be likely to become a public charge.

fert, the fireman who was rescued from

little hope that he escaped death. as

may be alive.

brief account Of his experience. He
said:

No Basis for Attack on

Warden Norton Has Managed
Prison Exceptionally Well.

Thomaston, Me-, Jan. 8.-(SpeciaD.-
In order to ascertain just how much
truth there was in the various stories.
that have been printed by the Demo-
cratic press, in relation to the Maine
state prison, n Kennenec Journal re-
pDrtcr made n canvass Of prominent
lnsincsg mon Of Knox county, with the
result that Warden Norton IS absolute
X freed from the charges against his
management Of the institution.
Nothing; could be found that tended
to ShpW any mis- management, cruelty,
or abuse of the convictS. And on the
other hand everything showed a nu-
name administration. with regard
shown for the convict's welfare that is
not found in many Of our larger priS-
ons throughout the country.
II was found that the stories of local
competition with county and State in
duytries was absolutely false, that no
effort is made To sell manufactured ar
tIc,rs that arc turned OUT by local
manufacturers and dealers. Articles
are made at the prison IN order to sup

but located dealers throughout the

contribute largely in this direction.
Warden =. O. Norton has demonstrate
Ell during the past two years that this
institution can be made to pay" to IL
much better extent than has ever be
fore been accomplished, thus relieving
the states taxpayers Of a previously
heavy burden.
There was found to he no opposition
to the Wardcn'S methods beyond Il f"W
men vino had been either discharged
or given a chance to resign, these are
doubtless responsible for any criticism
that may have been made Of the pres
Ont management.
only the hpartioSt and best of feel
ing is manifested by Knox county mer-
chants ana citizens in general toward
the warden: his policy has been to hold
Office with dignity. The so-called
mated from his office have be n
greatly maGniiied, and advantage has
been taken OF the good naturcd tone
with which reporters have been receiv-
ed at he prison office. Warden Norton
ana Clerk Brown have established IL
record for courtesy. in addition to their
unuuostioEIblc knowledge of the pris-
on'S affairs.
