MT. DESERT TRANSIT co.
First Meeting Held at Bar Harbor

First Meeting Held at Bar Harbor
Saturday-OfIicers Elected.
The first meeting OF the incorporators OF
the Mt. Desert Transit Co., the corpora
tion recently organized to build an cleo
trio railway from Ellsworth to Bar Har-
Dor, was held at the office of Deasy &
Lyman last Saturday afternoon.
John S. Kennedy, of New York, George
B. Dorr, OF Boston, Clement B. Newbold,
of Philadelphia, Robert Amory, of Bos-
ton, and Fred G. Lyman, of Bar Harbor,
were elected directors. Mr.. Amory was
elected clerk of the corporation, and Mr..
Lyman secretary.
1t was voted to issue at par all of the
capital stock that had been subscribed
$4,000. A complete set of bylaws was
adopted.
This is the first of the many preliminary
steps that must be taken before actual
construction can begin. Others are likely
to follow in quick succession. The
written approval of the municipal officers
of all the towns and cities through which
the proposed road must pass must be
obtained, and before this can be given q
public hearing must be given in each town
After all the towns have given theil
approval, the corporation must present te
the railroad commissioners petition fol
approval of location, accompanied with q
map, and with report and estimate pre-
| pared by competent engineer.
Then the commissioners must appoint a
| hearing, at which anyone interested may
appear in person or by counsel. After the
! hearing the commissioners determine
whether public convenience requires the
construction of such road as is proposed
and if they conclude that it does, they sc
certify, and the corporation may then pro-
ceed with the construction of the road.
| To cross tide water special permission
of the legislature must be obtained.
| 1t is understood that, anticipating ia
vorable action by all the towns through
which the road is to be built, and by the
| legislature, representatives of the corpora
tion have already bonded practically all
of the property along the proposed route
that it is needful for it to acquire.
! 1t is also reported that contracts foI
poles and sleepers have been placed with
| parties in Washington county
| But working with all possible speed, the
| undertaking is of such character that
| much time will be required to put matters
into shape. 1t is probable that even il
| there are no bitches in the preliminary
| work, it will be a year hence before actual
| construction will begin.

Jacob Strauss. one of the oldest and most highly esteemed citizens of Mont gomery and one of the most favorably known business men of the city Is dead.
 A patriarch in Israel a gallant sol der of the Confederate army in the War between the States, and the last of the original nineteen charter mem bers of the Jewish congregation of Montgomery. he passed away after lingering illness at his home on Clay ton Street, yesterday morning at 4.15 o'clock. In the S6th year of his life, retaining perfect possession of his men, tai faculties, expressing deep inter- est in all that pertained to the progress and development of his home city, he died leaving to his children the proud heritage of long and honorable ca reer.
 MT. Strauss was born in France. He came to America and settled In Mont gomery in 1851. at the age of 30 years, and since that time has made his home continuously in this city, living for the past forty-six years in the home on Clayton Street in which he died. For several years he has been retired from all active business, but prior to that time he was dealer in live stock, and for many years conducted a busi- ness in the city market.
 In 1852, the year after he came to Montgomery, he became one or nlne- teen members to establish the first Jwish congregation of this city, and since that time has served continuous ly as one of the most faithful and de- voted of the congregation, and with his death, the last of the charter mem- bership has passed away.
 At the beginning of the War between the States, Mir Strauss enlisted in the Confederate army as a member of the 1st Alabama Regiment, and served throughout the four years of the con- 1ict. He was captured at Fort Nor gan by the Federal army ,and was sent as a prisoner to Elmira, N. Y.. from which place at the close of the war he returned to his family at Montgomery.
 For many years Mr. Strauss was an active volunteer fireman, belonging to the old Dexter Company No. 1. Thirty years ago, he was made an honorary member of that company. Mir. Strauss was man of strong personal charac- ter always modest and unassuming in his manner, devoted husband and par ent, and a loyal friend. Three years ago he and his wife celebrated the fftieth anniversary of their marriage.
 Beside his widow, he leaves five sons and one daughter. Of his sons, Samuel Strauss, Leopold Strauss and Heyman Strauss reside in Montgomery. and Isadore Strauss and Isaac Strauss make their homes in Texas. His daughter, Mrs Jeannett Bloch, resides in Mont gomery. Until the arrival of his two sons from Texas. the hour of the fu- neral service will not be determined. but 1t will probably be held at some time during Tuesday Interment will be made at Oakwood Cemetery.

Autoist. Fear "Drastic Measure"

The auto drivers and riders of the State are taking a great deal of inter est in one of the bills that is at pres ent reposing peacefully on the Senate calendar, but which promises to come up for final passage during the pres ent week. When it does, say the auto ists, it is sure to be amended, for the bill Is drastic" in its present form.
 The measure Is known as the auto mobile bill, and was introduced by Sen ator Blackmon of Calhoun County. It proposes to regulate the speed at which chauffeurs shall run their machines, in and out of cities. and to this and sim liar features no objection is raised. But in the bill there is a provision that when any auto approaches a. horse,

Senator BaiIey's Friends Want the
 Matter Ended Quickly.
 Austin. Tex, Feb. 24.-It is expected that the findings of the legislative in yestigating committee charges against United States Senator Joseph W. Bai- lev will be reported to the two houses of the Legislature not later than Tues day.
 Senator Bailey and his attorneys are urging upon the committee the need of haste as Senator Bailey announces he will leave Thursday in order to reach Washington by March 4, to be in- stalled as Senator.
 The ub-committee of the investigat- ing committee has spent all of today revising the testimony to be submitted to the Legislature. A discussion is now on as to whether or not the com mittee will have any right to report anything but the evidence. The friends of Senator Bailey are of the opinion that the committee can also make its suggestion that there Is nothing in the evidence to in any way reflect upon Senator Bailey.
 If this procedure is followed. the minority of the committee will bring in an adverse report asking that the House take full recognition of the evil dence and either censure Senator Bai- ley or act upon 1t as they see fit.
 It is also stated tonight that some of the opponents of Senator Bailey in the Legislature will make an effort to pro- long the agitation against him even Co the extent of taking the matter to Washington in the way of a memorial.

 Selma, Feb "A. The prospects for completing the pro- posed Cahaba Valley Railroad and Ala bama River Barge line, as told in the Advertiser a few days ago, grows brighter.
 The Selma business men are working hard on the projected road.
 The plans for the building of this line have gone so far that it was intim- ated today that during the coming week a charter will be aplted for. A confer ence of those who are interested will be held about the middle of the week. At this conference the matter of secur- ing the charter will be taken up and perhaps a few days later application will be made.
 At this conference the preliminary matters pretaining to having & survey of the proposed route will be taken up. Although two other surveys of practi- cally the same route have been made 1t is necessary that another survey should be made.
 Financiering and building the propos- ed road will be easier for this company than they were for the old company formed here many years ago to build a similar road. The new company will go about the matter in an entirely dif- ferent way, but at the same time they will profit by the mistakes which caus- ed the abandonment Of the project,
 Since it became known that the new company was formed to build the Ca- haba Valley road there have been many application from other Selmians for stock in the enterprise. But those who are engineering the matter do not think 1t advisable to let any more in their plans.

Clerical Organs Believe Government Is
 On Wrong Track.
 Paris, Feb. 24-The clerical organs united in declaring that Cardinal Rich ard, archbishop of Paris, will not sub init to the new proposal of the govern ment regarding church leases and their Rome dispatches categorically insist that Pope Plus is resolved to maintain integrally the origianl text offered by the French episcopate and to refuse ev- en to discuss the governments excep- ton relative to the liability of parish priests for the keeping up of churches and the exclusion of foreign priests. or members of dissolved orders.
 Whether those inspired statements are only part of the diplomatic game remains to be seen.
 Premier Clemenceau admits frankly that so far as he is concerned he never expected the church to accept the con- ditions as to leases, but he says that Minister of Education Briand did and that the cabinet unanimously accorded him a chance to conclude the negotia- tions upon the terms stated.
 The future will show which is right whether he is the victim of an illusion or am mistaken" the premier added.
 If no agreement is reached what will happen?" premier Clemenceau was ask ed.
 Nothing very terrible" the premier replied. T think we will return to the solution previously contemplated
 "'Phe churches will remain open, that goes without saying and 1t is conceded without lease, to the clergy and the state department or commune, as the case may be, will bear the cost of keep ing repairs of a church out of the funds of The church itself, but rest assured the government will go not further in the matter of concessions. The republicans majority in the chamber of deputies would not endorse 1t, nor would any member of the cabinet, not even NJ Briand, favor yielding more

Col. Johns Bill the Winner.

Speaking of the sale of liquors" said a member of the House yesterday. in a group where the Rice bill was being discussed, T think the bill that was introduced by Colonel John of Jefferson County takes the cake. The bill, you know, prohibits the sale of liquor in any way. shape or manner, with or without a license, on any premises where women are employed. or where they lodge or board.
 T think the provision of the bill that no intoxicating liquors shall be sold either to women or by women Is a good one. as places of that kind are about as bad as any that can be found and traced. even remotely. to the liquor business. But the number of places that will be affected by that pro- vision of the bill, even cutting out the negro women. will be much greater than would ordinarily be supposed"

The measure is designed to prevent the keeping or storing of liquors of any kind in so- cial clubs, and provides that violation of the provisions of the bill shall be punishable. aside from the usual pen alty, for the sale of liquors without legal authority, by revocation of the charter of the club. The bill exempts from its provisions clubs where liquors are sold openly, from a barroom, under a license, In which case. of course, the sale would be subject to the same regu- lations as to Sunday sale. etc, as at any saloon.
