POSTAL SAVINGS BANK.
Senator Carter Speaks In Behalf Of the
Measure.

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Carter
today spoke in support of the postal
savings bank bill. He proposed. he
said, TO offer amendments to the bill
reducing from $1,000 to $500 the amount
any person may deposit in postal
banks with interest and from 5000 to
500 the amount that may be deposited
in any ono month and also to strike
out the provision allowing any person
to deposit money as trustee. These
am. ndments. he said, would remove
three objections that have been made
to the bill.
Carter read circular signed by Lu-
Glen Teter. chairman of the committee
on postal savings banks of the Amer
lean Bankers Association, calling on
bankers to oppose the bill pending in
the Senate for the establishment of
postal savings banks
Il lcquit the American Bankers As
sociation for the statements made in
this Circular said Carter.
He then read from the circular
which requested members of the
American Bankers Association to pre-
sent the enclosed arguments against
postal savings banks to the local news
papers requesting that they be used
as editorials or write ups This cir
cuIar. the senator said, exhibiting the
printed slips, has the following eau
tionary notice:
please remove this slip before
handing to newspapers.
The purpose of this cautionary no.
ticc." said Carter, "Was to have the To-
cal bankers slip upon the blind side
of the paper and to relieve this COM
mittec from responsibility for loose
statements used"
He added that he would publish all
of these circulars in the Congressional
Record so that they could be seen by
the public.
Garter was speaking at o'clock
when the unfinished business was laid
before the Senate. He moved the con-
sideration of the postal savings bank
bill and his motion being carried The
measure became the unfinished bust

such power to himself. John Adams
attempt to enforce the seditiOn law de-
stroyed the Federalist party in America
Yet Mr.. Roosevelt in the absence Of
law, officially proposes to use all the
power of the greatest government IN
earth to cripple the freedom of the
press on the preteXt that the govern
ment itself has been libelled-and he
is the government.
1T is true that the World printed the
public report concerning the Panama ca
na! affair which resulted from William
Nelson Cromwclrs appeal to the district
attorneys Office during the recent cam
paign to prevent the publication of n
story which was said to be in the hands
of the Democratic national commimttee.
1t was Mr.. Cromwel's own action which
raised the issue in the campaign.
at is true that when MI Roosevelt
made his attack on Deevan Smith the
World called attention to certain state
ments which Mr.. Roosevelt must have
known to be false or misleading, and APP
pealed to Congress to end all scandal by
a full and impartial investigation. If this
be treason let Mr.. Roosevelt make the
most of it.
Mr.. Roosevelt's lamertable habit OF in
accurate statement makes it impossible
to accept either his judgment or his con-
illusions. In his message he does net state
correctly even so simple matter as the
pretended causes of his grievance.
1.-The World has never said that Charles
p. Taft or Douglas Robinson MADE any
profits whatever Mr.. Taft denied that
he was concerned in the transaction in
any way. which denial the World pub
lished and accepted. 1t would have been
equally glad to print Mr. Robinsons de-
NAL could it have succeeded in obtaining
one from him, as it attempted. The
World has no evidence that he was asso-
ciated with Mr.. Cromwell, and would &C
cept his word to that effect: for Mr. Rob-
inson is an estimable gentleman Of high
character whose reputation for veracity
is infinitely better than that of his dis
tngushed brother-in-law.
IF the World has libelled anybody we
iopc it will be punished, but we do not
intend to be intimidated by Mr.. Roose-
velt's threats, or by Mr.. Roosevelt's de-

ted to the principle of the postal saw
ings bank, and in closing his remarks
he urged the passage of the bill as an
aid 70 the class of citizens most de-
serving assistance from Congress.
Depew also spoke in favor of the
bill. Picturing conditions of want in
Industrial communities when factories
are closed, Depew declared that the

NEW EVIDENCE.

portant evidence secured today was OBJ
tanned by Deputy Sheriff I. n. Purinton
of Bowdoinham before daylight this
morning He drove out to the oid
Cromwell place and there interviewed
! Ambrose Thibedeau and Henry Preo'r.
These two young men stated to the
i, deputy that they left Bowdolnham
) about 4.3o and started to walk home
!, going by the way of the railroad crack
sas far as Dunham's crossing. just as
sihcy reached the crossing they looked
/ back to watch the afternoon express
nass and as they. did they saw two
men coming up the track, going In the
direction Of Richmond. After the eX-
ress passed they looked for the men
and failed to see them. 1t is thought
that they probably went into one OF
the wood roads at that point. Thus far
'he identity of the men has not been
learned
Late this afternoon County Attorney
Arthur H. Stctson of Bath stated that
he had not as yet expressed any opin-
ion in regard to the case and he would
not until after the coroner's jury re
turned it's verdict next Saturday. He
has instructed the officers to use every
off.srt toward securing new evidence
and to let no clue escape.
+ The officials of Cupberland county
are taking considerable interest in the
case and several have visited Bowdoin
ham and looked into it more or less.
At least two of the Cumberland county
officers have come out with statements
to the effect that they believe that foul
play was committed They are of the
firm opinion that Abial Kincaid was
dead when his body was struck by the
train and they are almost as sure that
he was killed by some unknown party
and his body placed on the track for
the purpose of covering up the crime.
The Sagadahoc county officers are
doing all in their power to probe the
case and it is expected that by Satur-
day. when the coroner's jury will again
meet. that considerable new evidence
will have been secured to present to
that body.

SCHWAB DlSSENTS.
Does Not Agree With Carnegie Re-
garding Tariff on Steel.

Washington, Dec 15.-DiSagreelng
with the published views of Andrew
Carnegie. with regard to the steel
schedule OF the tariff. Charles M.
Schwab. former president of the Unit
ed States Steel Corporation. gave val
liable testimony before the House ways
and means committee at the tariff
hearing today.
While he practically admitted that
the conditions which existed nine
years ago would have permitted a re-
duction in the steel schedule at that
time, he said that the cost of every
item entering into the manufa cture of
steel rails had increased to such an eX-
tent that the present conditions must
be changed to permit a tariff reduc-
ton.

Bessemer steel converting works left
in the United States" Mr.. Schwab pre-
dicted. "Bessemer steel will be of no
use The same is true of structural
steel as well as rails. They will all be
made by the open hearth process of
manufacture. Costly changes in the
construction of the plants will be ne
' cessary to make the improvements in
the method of manufacture.
Mr.. Schwab also declared that with
in 10 years the "open hearth process
would be superseded by the electric
system of manufacture which was be-
Ing developed in Germany.
These changes in the process of
manufacture increase the quality of
the STEEL" he continued, 'but they al
son slightly increase the cost of pro-
duction." Mr.. Schwab said he was not
In favor of any change in the tariff on
steel and steel products.

any material difference" he said, but

jubilant over the big victory in Spo-

You know that the winning Of the
big prizes at Spokane this week
means 20 Wenatchee. 1t means that

it means that electric lines will net

means a city of 10000 in Wenatchee
within very few years. Above all
things the citizens of Wenatchee
should take off their hats to the men
who have paved the way for these
great possibilities in this valley, the
pioneers, the canal builders. You

bit better than the other fellow the
world will beat a path to his door,
