that he would veto any bill for a
change in the management of the col
leges. He made his campaign. how
ever, on the score of economy in state
affairs and the friends Of the bill now
say that he will give support to the
measure. which is strictly one for
economy in the use of the money Of
the people.
The movement for a general shift
ing Of departments in the state house
also has great strength. 1t has been
proposed heretofore to shift the insur-
ance department. so that it will be un-
der the chief executive, rather than
a minor officer. that the banking de-
partment be placed in the control of
the treasurer. who naturally looks
after all financial affairs Of the state,
that the department of accounts be
given over to the secretary. of state.
that the collection of criminal statis-
tics be centered in the hoard Of par
ole. etc. All these changes. are not
only for economy. but for the better
handling of the various matters by Of
ficers especially prepared to do SO.
The one bill that is most likely to
| ID liz ANU " ISl - ~
the one to make Of the insurance de-
rartment an Independent bureau. In
the past the insurance companies have
been strongly in favor Of this, and 1t
was an p e secret that their zeal
was at least augmented by the fact
that the state. auditor and the present
head Of the insurance department
proved to be hard customers to han
die, at least from the standpoint OF
the insurance companies and agen,
cies. But now it is stated that the in.
sursnce companies are perfectly sat
isfied with the situation and do not
want any change in the law. A bill
will be introduced at the opening OF
the session to create a department
and it is almost certain to 20 through.
Few bills having any political signif
icance will be pending, and there will
be no occasion for partisan o,
fractional politics. The present
Iowa secret ballot will be
amended so as to make it conform
to the true Australian ballot. and the
primary law will be changed so thai
there is no advantage to the candi
date whose nam happens to begin
with a letter early In the alphabet
But neither of these questions will
raise any political issue.
In the matter of organization there
has not beer any session where it was
more difficult to predict Just what
will be done. The house organization
! centers around the speakership. Thert
are q goodlv bunch of candidates =
Marston. White. Darrah. Stillman

Economy and retrenchment is to be
the watchword with the coming Iowa
legislature which meets in three
weeks. The Democrats in the last few
campaigns in Iowa made much of the
alleged extravaganza OF the Republi-
cans, who have been in full control Of
the affairs Of the state, and while they
did not. make much Roadway with the
voters inatheir accusations against the
Republican party. the fact remains
that a number Of Republicans feel that

there has heen increase of expenses

the state had been in the

Of the legislature that here is one

at the opening of the session. by Sen
ator Whipple, and he is very confident
that the bill will this year be passed

WATERVILLE.
OF ONE OPINION.
Make the Eagles Better Fraternalfy
Throughout the State.

| In regard to the persistent rumorS
that the Fraternal Order of Eagles in
| the State of Maine would secede from
| the Grand Lodge on account of the re-
cent mandate issued by Worthy Presi-
dent Theodore Bell. that no liquors
should be dispensed from the lodge
| rooms or should be in any way con-
nected with the same, has caused a
great deal of interest in this city, es-
pecially among the Eagles. The lodge
| in this city comprises over 200 menu
| bers and all are eagerly awaiting the
action of the other subordinate lodges.
| That the story is without foundation
| is the general opinion.
About all were of the same opinion
as J. Edward Sullivan, district grand
president OF the Fraternal Order of
| Eagles III the State OF Maine. who in
conversation with Bangor paper
said as follows:
The order that Grand President Bell
| sent out" said Mr.. Sullivan, does not
prohibit positively the diSpensat!on OF
| liquor In the aeries of the State but 1t
| does state that intoxicating liquor cam
not be dispensed unless it is with strict
compliance with the law Of the State.
All aeries are granted their charter on
the agreement that no state or federal
| law will be violated.
THE whole trouble lies in this State
with the fact that members. some of
them at least. have lost sight Of the
fact that the Fraternal Order of Eagles
is q fraternal and not Il social order.
We 90 not wish to pose as social

worthy grand president and Grand
Aeric comprising the past worthy
presidents of all the aeries and in or
der to secure Il charter from the Grand
Aerie subordinate must start with
at least so charter members.
AT any time the Grand Aerie may
revoke Il charter OF just cause. In the
fraternai side the Order Of Eagles has
the usual benefits of any secret order
and member of the acrie has the free
services of the aerie physician. for
himself and family. a sick benefit Of
81 q day for the first 10 weeks and a
corresponding benefit such as the con-
ditiOns of the case may require for con-
tinued sickness. 1t pays funeral bene-
fits and provides for the members who
in a case of emergency need money
Last year our order paid out $226, 656
for sick benefits: s67.s03 for funeral
BENEFITS, and s67.s57 for special relief.
The order has 100 aeries in the Unit
ed States and membership Of 100000
I'm connection with the aeries the
members are allowed the privilege of

IN the Shape Of Indict-
ments at Boston.
Two City Gov. Members and
Late Supt. Of Streets
With Several Business Men lnclud.
ed In Indictment List.

Q Boston, Jan. 6.-After two weeks
spent in Il Fest i2ating purchases by the
city last Var Of lot Of land on Cod
man street, prizes for athletic events
and payments for f!agstone, the grand
jury reported indictments today
against two members of last years
city government, the superintendent of
streets. and several business men. The
indicted parties We're as follows:
Alderman William Berwin: Alder
man George II. BATHS; superintendent
Of Streets James Fl. Doyle; Marks
Berwin; o. Edward Kahn; Michael
Mitchell; Thomas F. Maher; Harry c.
FrenchO Oliver Greggs.
Although the indictments were secret
the names Of the men who are involved
were announced by the district attor-
/ney and later in the day all but
Marks BerWin appeared a police head
quarters and gave bonds for their APP
pearaace in the superior court Satur-
day. The nature Of the charges against
the men was not made public today.
The olde:manic terms of Berwin
and BATHS expired today, while Doyle
handed his resignation IS superintend-
cnt of streets to Mayor Hibbard an
hour after the latter had been sworn
in today.
William and Marks Berwin, Doyle,
Kair, French and Greggs were before
the grand jury when it investigated the
purchase by the city of a lot of land
on Goldman street for $4,000. which
was claimed to have been more than
twice its value in the estimation of its
own@rS.
Mitchell and Maher We're examined
il connection with the payment by the
city for fagstonc on the basis of linear
instead of square feet, while BATHS
was asked in relation to purchase by
him of prizes for certain athletic
events held by the city last summer.
The three matters developed at re-
cent hearings before the Financial
Commission.
