VIOLATION OF CONTRACT
ls Charged Against Electric Light
Company of Brunswick.

Brunswick, Me, Feb. 23.-At the an
nua! meeting of the Committee of IL
held Saturday noon at the Office Of the
selectmen. Prof Charles c. Hutchins
Of Bowdoin College, caused great sur
prise by stating that the Brunswick
Electric Light and Power CO. was
violating its contract with the town
on the electric light contract.
The town, according to the terms of
the contract, is supposed to have
lights of 1900 candlepower. Prof.
Hutchins has made many tests at diff
ferent times and places, but thus far
has been unable to find light of over
$50 candlepower. These measurements
were made by use of electric meters.
He has also measured the current and
determined the candlepower of the
lights furnished individuals and reck-
oning the different rates charged each,
he finds that the town is paying SIS
per light in excess of that paid by in
individuals, with whom they have no
contract
This has caused much comment and
will be discussed at the next town
meeting which is to be held in a very
short time.

THE NlNE.HOUR LAW
viii Cause Much Bother and Trouble
To Put in Operation.

Washington, Feb 2S.-In the opinion
of the operating officials of railways
they have not been confronted for
many years with a condition SO Ser
ious as contained in the "9-hour law,
which by it's terms will become effec-
tive March 4. BY personal conference
and by correspondence with the Inter-
state Commerce Commission the Of
ficials have indicated that they will
conform to the act, but they express
the belief that it will not be possible
fully and Immediately to comply with
the requirements.
Petitions from a considerable num-
her Of railroad companies have been
filed with the commission requesting
that an extension of the time for the
Jaw going into effect be granted them.
The principal reasons assigned are the
inability of the companies to obtain
the services of competent. efficient and
dependable telegraph operators and
the financial hardship particularly at
present which the employment of
thousands of additional men will i'm
pose upon them.
Next Thursday the commission Will
accord to a large number of railways
a formal hearing at which an effort
will be made to settle the matter of
Tho extension of the law.

St. Pierre, Martinique, Is Grad

come again the commercial center of
Martinique, for other ports on the island.
Fore Pu France AMI Trinity, offer better
anchorage to ships than did st. Pierre in
the old days. But st. Pierre is the hub
as it was of the roads to the islands; it
is easier to move merchandise into St.
Pierre than anywhere else. and this re-
vival of traffic will assure certain activ-
ity.
Steamers of the Guerin Line are to re-
sumo calling at st. Pierre as they did
before 1902. Already several merchants
have cleared away the ruins of their
warehouses and started reconstruction
with the idea of opening them again. and
they doubtless will have imitators.
The authorities do not officially sane
ton this activity at ST. Pierre and still
warn the people of the danger of Mont
Pelee. The upper part of st. Pierre is
covered with heavy growth of guinea
grass, and today cattle browse over what
SIX years ago were the gardens and park
of the well-to-da. Between Riyiere Des
Pleres and LIE Precheur the soil is
strongly croded by the eruption and
nothing green can grow. In the upper
valley of the River Blanch there are
MANY holes in the earth from which
smoke and vapor constantly issue, show
ing that the volcano is in no sense dead.
Some of the outlying villages are still
barren of foliage. while others are as
green and as luxurious as they were
before the eruption.
