 The negro detective, who brought with him documents from the Cover nors of Louisiana and Mississippi, also has in his possession his commission as regular deputy sheriff, and says that he intends following Myers, who was last traced coming in this direction, until he is finally captured.
 The negro detective claims to have located Myers in a small town in Louis- lana. and says the only reason that the arrest was not made was that the of- ficers there would pay no attention to him.
 He has letters In his possession from the Governor of Louisiana showing that the latter later directed the ofi- cers not to fall to recognize Walker as an officer of the law.

BATES COLLEGE,.
Debating Contests With Queens Uni
versity Are Arranged.

Lewiston, Me, March 4.-(SpeciaD.
of furnishing selection for the pro-
gram at the great musical union last
evening in Kora Temple.
For the first time Bates College is
to have a debate with a Canadian in
stitution. On May s, in Lewiston, a
Bates team will meet team from
Queens University. The arrangements
for this debate are novel to Bates stu
dents. A return debate will be held
in Kingston, Ont, the last of Novem-
Der. The teams are to consist Of two
men each. Each speaker is to have
20 minutes for his main speech and
five for rebuttal. Provision is also
made that the home institution shall
submit three questions. While these
provisions are somewhat new to Bates.
yet she believes the debates will for
this reason be all the more interesting
A debate between teams represent
ing nationalitieS so closely allied
should be of considerable value 20
each. The provision for submitting
three questions is expedient to Bates
under the present circumstances and
would probably be an improvement
over the method of submitting only
one question in all of her debates. The
time allowed each speaker gives an
opportunity for display of individual
ability not possible in most intercoi-
legiate debates. Some doubt remains
as to the wisdom of having a team
of two men. but two debaters under
these arrangements will afford oppor-
tunity to show the advantages or dis
adv antages of this feature as well as
of the other provisions of the agree
ment. These debates should not fail
anyway to add variety to and give
new interest in debating contests.

NO RAISE IN RATES.
Denver Hotel Men Are Under Contract
to Keep Regular Prices.

Denver Colo, March 4-E. L.
Scholtz. president Of the Chamber of
Commerce, issued a statement today
in which he made clear the fact that
Denver hotel men were pledged not TO
raise rates during the meeting of the
Democratic national convention.
There has been printed in many
newspapers an erroneous statement
to the effect that the Denver hotel
men paid large share of the 500, 900
raised here to help defray the ex-
penses Of the National Democratic
convention and that they intend to
make it up by raising rates, said Nj.
Scholtz. AS a matter of fact the con-
tributions of the hotel men were in
significant compared with what was
given by other interests. The hotel
men are pledged in writing not to
raise their rates beyond what is charg-
ed for meals and rooms at ordinary
times and there will be no just ground
for complaint on the part of anyone
who comes here to attend the national
Democratic convention.

Says That Trusts
Wrote Dingley Bill,

Washington, March 4.-The charge
was made on the floor of the House Of
Representatives today by Mr.. Hitch
cock of Nebraska, that the COMMITTEES
on ways and means had been party
either knowingly or in ignorance ITO
gigantic schemes of plumber" He was
speaking on the tariff question, with
special reference to the duty on wood
pulp in which he referred to other
schedules. He declared that the pap
er trust wrote into the Dingley bill
the paper schedules; that the lumber
trust wrote the lumber schedule; the
steel trust the steel schedule, aud
other trusts" wrote other schedules,
affecting their interests.
Hitchcock presented records of the
committee on ways and means in proof
of an assertion previously made by
him and which was controverted by
Payne of New York that the news
paper prOprietors had vigorously pro-
tested against the proposed tariff on
wood pulp and paper at the time.
These newspaper publishers, he de-
clared, at the time they appeared be-
fore the committee had warned it's
members that if paper were put on the
free list the formation of any trust
would be impossible. He said that
Former Senator Warner Miller and II.
G.. Chisholm of Maine, all had spoken
before the committee in advocacy of
the tariff. and he charged that six
months after the Dingley law went in
to effect the International Paper Co.
was incorporated with these three
gentlemen as its highest officers. The
real object of those who started the
Dingley tariff on paper, he declared.
was to capitalize the waterpower and
spruce forests of the United States
for that great monopoly and raise the
price of print paper in America.
Another combination he said had
grown up in the Western states,
operating side by side with the Inter-
national Paper Co, protected from
competition by the International Pap
err Co, because of reciprocal agree
ments and mutual understandings
The combination referred to, he said,
had been known under various names,
land at one time existed as the Gener-
al Paper Co"

States he declared, was a monopoly

to permit print paper to come in free

NEW MAINE SHIPYARD.
Revival of ShipbuiIding Industry for
Tenants Harbor.

Tenants Harbor, Me-, March A.
(SpeciaD.-The village of Tenants
Harbor is likely to see n revival of
the shipbuilding industry by another
summer. Land along the water front
has been leased by Portland parties
for q term of five years and it Is ex-
pected that the frame for one or more
schooners will be shipped here in the
spring and the work of building start
ed upon. Thirty years ago shipbuild-
ing was one of the important indus
tries of this section of St. George, but
in recent times most of the shipbuild-
ing business of Knox county has gone
to Camden and Rockland. II. M. Bean,
one of the most prominent of the
Camden shipbuilders, built his first
vessels at Tenants Harbor and would
have continued to do so had not bet
ter land inducements been offered him
at Camden.
Near the site upon which the new
shipyard at Tenants Harbor is to be
located is n refuge for a number of
schooners, which have passed their
usefulness, and known locally as THE
Graveyard" The new shipbuilding
concern is to be a stock company and
a number of local men are ready to
assist the Portland promoters in back
ing the enterprise. One of these par
tics has suggested that the first ship
to be built in the new yard should be
called THE Resurrection

pleursy with pneumonia complications
which affected the heart, and which
in his enfeebled condition proved too
much for his powers of resistance.
Besides his son, Gov. Proctor, the
Governors wife and several intimate
friends were at the bedside when death
occurred.
The body will be taken to the old
home in PrOctorSville, VT.
The senator had been in feeble
health ever since the assembling or
Congress and it was remarked by his
friends that for the first time in their
recollection. he had failed to return
from his usual summer fishing trip
in the high state of health which he
always enjoyed. His condition became
alarming today and the members of
his family were notified that the end
was near.
The news of his death reached the
Senate few minutes after o'clock
when Senator Warren was urging the
passage of bill to increase the pay
Of the army which is a measure that
for many years has attracted the in
terest of the late Vernon: senator.
No announcement of the death was
made to the Senate. The information
was communicated to Vice President
Fairbanks. who Immediately advised
Senator Warren. Mr. Warren asked
that the pending bill be laid aside for
the day. The Senate then adjourned
1t was not desired formally to an
nounce the DEATH for the reason that
it was thought best to lay aside bust
ness for an entire day in respect to
the senator's memory. Therefore the
official announcement will be made
tomorrow by Senator Dillingham;.
Senator Proctor had been a con-
spicuous factor in the political and
business circles of Vermont for many
years and was reputed to be one of
the wealthiest members of the United
State Senate. He was largely inter-
ested in the marble industry, was
identified with other commercial pur-
suits, was a Civil War veteran on the
staff of Gen. VIM. F. (Baldy) Smith,
was secretary of war during Presl-
dent Harrison's administration and
had been in the Senate since 1891,
when he left the cabinet to take the
position.
The senator was born in Proctors-
Vile June 1, 1881, and before his en-
trance into public life in this city, had
served his state as a member of each
house of the Legislature in turn and
as governor and lieutenant governor.
Senator Proctor's death occurred at 45o
o'clock this afternoon. Among the hfst
to call to pay their respects were Vice
President Fairbanks and Senator Scott
of West Virginia. Senator Proctor is sur
vived by his wife, two sons, Fletcher ID.
Proctor governor of Vermont, and Rer-
field Proctor, Jr., and a daughter Miss
Emile ID. Proctor.
