BASKET BALL.


The basket ball season in Franklin
opened Friday night at town hall, when
the Bar Harbor five tried conclusions with
the Franklin five. The game twas fast
exhibition, especially on the part OF the
local five as the score indicates.
Many were surprised at the showing
made in,the game. The team work was
fast and went with snap that was pleas
ing to the spectators and puzzling to the
Bar Harbor boys. They were lighter than
the home boys and did well considering
what they were up against.
In the beginning of the game the Frank
lin BOYS made few whiriwind passes and
secured three goals almost before the Bar
Harbor lads were aware the game had
started. Wooster at centre had things
pretty much his own way and invariably
Jumped up and caught the ball, threw ii
to one of the players who dropped it in
the basket. OF course this didn't work
all the time and the Bar Harbo sand
WICKED in some good passing and gosd
throwing, but they were in too fast com
pany and lost by wide margin.
The Bragdon boy had the baskets located
to perfection. Wooster at centre was as
cool as a cucumber in his position and d.
rected things with admirable precision,
and Rollins and Bradbury as backs looked
after their end very successfully. At the
final wind-up the score stood Franklin ~,
Bar Harbor, 6. The lineup was as follows

S5O,OOO,OOO FOR CARS
Railroads Spend Vast Sum
on Rolling Stock
in Year.

Chicago, Dec. 27.-Railroads Of this
country and Canada have spent ap-
proximately half a billion dollars for
rolling stock this year This covers
only the cost of products of car build
ing concerns and does not include cars
and locomotives constructed in the
railroad shops.
According to the Railroad Gazette the
effect Of the financial slump will be
felt by the car builders next year.
Orders for new equipment to be de-
nvered during 1908 have fallen off
greatly.
The total number of cars built in the
United States and Canada this year is
2S9,645. against 243,670 in 1906. Of
those built this year 2S4,1SS were
freight cars and 5,457 passenger
coaches. The output of locomotives
was 1852 against 1852 in 1906. Freight
cars cost an average of $1,10O, an in
crease of 500; passengers cars. $500,
an increase of $500; locomotives, s16,-
600, an increase of from $500 to 81, 900.
Taking these figures as a basis the
total expenditure for rolling stock was
SAT-, 200, 900, an increase of % per cent
over last year.

EX-SENATOR IN FIGHT
Thomas M. Patterson and
Editor Fred G.. Bonfils
in Street Brawl.

Denver, Colo, Dec. ga warrant
was sworn out tonight for the arrest
of Fred G.. Bonfils, one of the proprie
tors Of the Denver Post. The warrant
was sworn to by ex-United States Sena-
tor Thomas NJ. Patterson as the result
Of an encounter between the two men
at an early hour this morning. during
which Senator Patterson was knocked
down and painfully injured. The en-
counter was the elimination of a
newspaper fight which has been going
on for several years between the pro-
prietors of the Post and Senator Pat
terson, who is the principal stockholder
of the News-Times Publishing COM
pany.
Senator Patterson says Mr.. Bonfils
came up behind him and said: Good
morning" When he turned to see who
addressed him, Senator Patterson
states, he was dealt a terrific blow
which felled him. after which his as
sailant beat and kicked him before he
could arise.
Mr.. Bonfils says he and the senator
met and a discussion arose over a
threat Senator Patterson had made In
the columns of the News to run Mr.
Bonfls out of business or put him in
the penitentiary. According to Mr.
Bonfls, Mr.. Patterson reiterated the
threat and the fight started.

Prevention of tuberculosis as Much
Governments Duty as That
Of Hog Cholera.

Chicago. Dec. 27.-"The mothers of
the land have just as much right to
demand that the United States gov
eminent spend money on the health
Of the children as the farmers that
their hogs be cared for" said Health
Commissioner ". A Evans yesterday
afternoon in an address before the
Baron Hirsch Womans club.
The government now has 100
chemists and psychologists engaged
in investigating why hogs die OF chol-
era, and why other animals are af-
1icted with various diseases" DR..
Evans continued so long as the
world shall last. apparently, the
United States is TO be the food pro
ducing country of the world. and I
i don't mean that support should be
withdrawn by the government in it's
expenditure in this direction. The
farmers of the land have directed that
money be spent in this way-but the
mothers of the land have their rights
too"
Consider Plans for SanatOrium.
The meeting, which was held in the
blue parlor" of Handel hall, was de-
voted to a consideration of plans for
a sanatorium for Jewish consumptives
the clubs newest venture. Hereto
fore large number of tubercular pa
tients have been sent by the club to
Colorado and other western states, but
in the words of one of the members
1T doesn't seem just the right thing
to send them away out there. AS
many die from inconsistencies as from
consumption"
The plans for the establishment are
as yet only in preliminary state, but
vigorous effort to secure funds is
to be begun at once. For this pur-
pose the club has enlisted the services
of a number of persons experienced
in the founding of various Jewish
charitable institutions in the city.
White Plague Greatest Menace.
| In referring to the sanatorium, DR.
Evans said
| "Of all the menaces to our children
and to our population in general, the
| greatest is the great white plague.
Consumption and pneumonia combined
are responsible for one-third of the
total death rate.
! LAS an economic factor, tuberculosis
is particularly menacing. After thu
first two or three years of the disease
when it has attacked a father, thu
| family unit is entirely destroyed, anC
the children are found in institutions
and in other less desirable places
completely scattered"

Lettering on Coaches To Be "Monon
and C. H. G. D''-Erie Wants
Pere Marquette.

While no official statement has been
made by the Monon or Cincinnati Ham
ilton & Dayton railroad officials. it is
persistenty rumored that the Monon
company viii assume control of the
greater part of the c, II. and d. system
shortly after the first of the year Lo-
cal officials have been instructed TO
look for a change in the Monon and
the matter is being widely discussed.
1t will mean much for the Monon, as
it Will greatly enlarge the system and
give the road line of its own into
Cincinnati. also Hamilton. o.. and
Springfield. For a year or two the C.
II. x d. and the Pere Marquette have
been in the hands OF a receiver. The
association of the two roads has been
severed, the receivership is being closed
up. and the receiver will be discharged
the first of the next year.
For several years the Moron has run
its passenger trains into Cincinnati
over the c., II. & D. tracks. The two
companies have an agreement in the
handling of the passenger businses be-
tween Chicago and Cincinnati Under
the new arrangements not only Will
Monon passenger trains run into Gin
cinnati, but freight trains as well. and
they will be crewed by Monon men and
drawn by Monon locomotives The
| Monon Will also have trains between
Indianapolis. Hamilton and Springfield,
o. This will add more than 500 miles
to the Monon system, making a total
milage of nearly 1000 1t is understood
that the Monon Will come into con-
troll of all the valuable rolling stock OF
the C, II. & D. now used by that com
pany between Indianapolis, Cincinnati
and Springfield, O.
An evidence of the proposed change
is the fact that the lettering on the
Monon coaches that run into Cincin-
natl is to be changed. When the coaches
come out of the shops the lettering
Monon and c., II. 81 d. will be absent
and the coaches will be painted in the
Monon color. with the letter &c l. & L.
on them. The absorption of the c., H.
* d. will make the Monon one of the
| greatest systems in the middle west
| While it is becoming the settled con
viction that the c., II. & D. is to be
controlled by the Monon, current re-
port is to the effect that the new con-
solidated Pere Marquette is to be alb
sorbed by the Erie after the first of the
year.

MILLIONAIRE IS KILLED
Ernest G. Stedman Deliber-
ately Threw Himself
Under Wheels.

New York. Dec 26.-Ernest G. Sted-
man. the millionaire lawyer and real
estate operator. cousin OF Edmund
Clarence stedman. the poet-broker. was
run over and cut to pieces this morning
at the Fourteenth street Subway sta
ton by a north bound train.
Charles Roun. the motorman of the
train and the only eyewitness TO the
tragedy who has been found. declared
TO the police that the millionaire law
yer had deliberately thrown himself
under the wheels and that it was a
clear case of suicide.
The tragedy occurred during the
morning rush hours. Men and women
rushed for the exits and dresses were
torn and hats smashed in the frenzied
stampede to the street.
The only reason for the suicide of
Mr. Stedman, if suicide it was. which
can be advanced by the dead mans
friends is the recent financial trouble
.of the J. C. Lyons Building and Oper-
ating company, Of which he was vice
president and treasurer. The Lyons
company was placed in the hands Of
receivers on December p by Federal
Judge Hoggh.
Due to Tight Money Market.
It's difficulties were caused by the
tight money market and its inability
to meet current bills owed to CON
tractors doing the work of the com
pany.
Mechanics liens to the extent OF
100000 had recently been filed against
the concern and it was on the motion
or some of these lien holders that the
receivers were appointed.
Intimate friends and business asso-
ciates of Mr.. Stedman say that his dim
Guilty in the Lyons company was OF
minor Importance, because he was
worth considerably more than a mil
lion in his own right, and that his
wife was worth as much more. They
also declared that the assets of the
Lyons company are nearly $7,000,000
while the liabilities are Approximately
81 coo, 600, leaving a balance of $4,000,
600 on the right side of the ledger.
It is known, however. that the fail
ure of the company. of which he wa!
the financial man, has weighed heavily
upon Mr. Stedman and that he has beer
greatly depressed since the appoint
ment of the receivers. Samuel Gold
sticker, one of the receivers, said today
that the lawyer had been completely
dazed since his reverses.
