special TO kennebec journal.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. 20, 1907 DR..
Hanson of Belfast, Me-. but now of Chca-
go, who was the inventor of certain patent
medicines, has been figuring considerably
of late, along with others, in the debates of
the House and in discussions before COM
mittees. A fraud order was once issued
against one of DIR. Hanson's companies by
the post office department and it is claimed
that wrong was done him. Recently bill
has been passed by the House to check the
granting Of fraud orders without review by
some judicial tribunal and the opposition
to the legislation has been claimed that the
big patent medicine interests and other in
terests have been trying to get the bill
enacted into law so that these concerns
could proceed with less annoyance from
the post Office department.
The Peoples lobby, so-called, which is
virtually one young man here in Washing
ton, has been holding up the case of Dr..
Hanson as horrible example of what any
restriction on fraud orders would mean,
The legislation proposed, however, is based
ON complaints of very earnest character
and coming from representative people,
who question the justice of some of the
summary methods OF the department. The
law officers of the department and also the
post Office inspectors are men of undOubted
integrity, but the cases are largely made up
by inspectors who have little legal training
and who, it is believed, sometimes err.

EASTERN LEAGUE SPAWNING.
MAY POSTPONE OYSTER WORK.
Bridgeport and Sratford Beds May be
 Left Untll October.

Bridgeport, Sept, 11.--A request for delay in the working of the great natural oyster bed off this city, which .eXtends along the Stratford shore from Stceplechase island breakwater to the Stratford Point lighthouse, has been received by Captain William H. Lewis, and as it comes from one of the larg- est buyers of seed oysters who deals with local oyster men. It will un- doubtedly have much weight with them in reaching decision whether or not to begin work when the law goes off,
 The oystermen have been consider ing the plan of following the GUS tom of years past when the set has been late, small or weak, of postpon- ing the work of the beds for a couple of weeks, in order to give the set more chance to grow The stronger the set is the better prices it brings, as it is better able to bear transportation. No dealer who has to carry the young oysters for any distance will pay a higa price for them if there is any ikeiHood of their dying before he can get them planted.
 The probability is that the Conneeti- cut Oyster Protective association, com posed of natural growers will hold q meeting soon and vote not to begin work on the Bridgeport and Stratford bed until October 1.

FAvoRs CORPORATION TAX.
MeIIen Says They Should Have Il
 Rather Than Stockholders.

Boston, Sept. 11.-President Charles S. Mellen, of the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford railroad, appeared before the special committee on taxa ton at the state house to-day and ad- vocated the taxation of corporations instead of the individual holders of stocks or bonds. His advocacy of this additional burden in corporation tax ation was based he said, on the fact that the corporations could easily be reached, while the individual stock holders, who in many instances are not residents of the state, could not be located for the purpose of taxation. He said that the Massachusetts sys- tenn was crude MT. Mellen further more believed that the state should retain all taxes received from fran chises of public service corporations, and not distribute them, as at pres ent, among the cities and towns in which the corporations operate.
 Mir Mellen's proposition was strong ly opposed by former State Attorney General A. E, Pillsbury, representing the Massachusetts Gas companies; Bentley w. Warren, representing the street railway interests, and Wood ward Hudson, counsel for the New York Central company.
