STATE PRISON MATTERS.
Hearing Given On Sewers! Important
Bills Wednesday Afternoon.

Before the committee on state pflS-
on Wednesday, afternoon Thomas Leigh
al Augusta appeared in behalf Of the
IL t. provide for the retirement ard
rensioning of the officers Of the State
prison. The bill follows the line of the
massachusetts statute and Mr.. Leigh
ased his demand for similar statute
in Maine on the ground that work at
the State prison units a man Tor any
ether occupation, that 1T IS closely
Kin to military duty and that the
State owes it to the prison guards to
see that they are comfortably provided
fer in their old age.
Another bill BEFORE the committee is
drawn to straighten out a kink in the
laws. FOR the past IA years Legisla-
lures have gone on making an appro-
Irialion Of $1,000 per year for the sal
ajy Of the prison chaplain, but the
Cid law has never been changed and
sill says the prison teacher shall have
$500 per year ana the chaplain $3.50 per
Year. The bill before the committee
brings the statute up to date by pro
Ii,ling that the salary Of the teacher
and chaplain snail be $1,000. Thus.
" nile the act would apparently in
c"es.se the salary roll $3.50 it really
makes no mere aSe whatever.
There is another which indicates an
apparent increase and yet makes no
Increase. This is the resolve for main
t,nanCe which calls for an Increase
from 81 $50 to $4,000, but as Warden
Mcrton explained to the committee the
added amount is required TO replace
two officers VINO We're taken away
wien the criminal insane We're re
moved to Augusta. These officers
were paid from the appropriation for
the support of the criminal insane and
rncn their salaries must come from
the prison appropriation; hence the
increase. AS for the necessity for the
officers, M. Norton showed that when
the insane We're included on the prison
roll there We're l16 inmates, whereas.
at the present time with the insane
eliminated there arc 81 male pris-
.nnels
Two other resolves were explained
to the tomlnittee. One makes the uSu-
III emergency appropriation of 5000,
which Warden Norton has been turn
ing back for several years, and the
other apl,ropriates sl5.oo0 for the con-
:trurti'n of a very much needed fire
proof building for the harness making

rate of interest that it could afford as
conditions varied greatly in different To-
calities. He thought the bill If passed
would result in the withdrawal of thous-
ands of dollars from the Maine banks
and it's deposit in Massachusetts banks.
Bank Examiner Shelton asked MIR.

banks had tendency to draw the de-
positors towards the larger ones would
not eventually eliminate the smaller ones,

RClOra the committee on temperance
Wednesday afternoon Former Deputy
Sheriff John W. Emery of Bridgtol.
was invited to present certain figures

it mandatory on the court TO admin

Statemen: before the committee at last
Fridays hearing interested the COM
mittee so much that he was extended
the invitation which admitted him to
the executive session today.
He stated to the committee that
since Friday he had taken pains to
go over the court docket in Cumbor-
land with a view to ascertalning just
what 1ect the Hastings bill would
nave. lis figures showed that had the
Hastings hill been the law during the
;eat' past the judge would still have
hi.d discretion in 800 cases, while there
would have been but u cases in which,
h. would have been deprived of his
discretion. The re would have been lie
nuisance cases and 100 cases of unlaw-
full possession in which the judge would

seizure cases and u cases of single

give Jail sentences. But, Mr.. Emery

FOR ADVERTISING MAINE
inland Fisheries and Game COMMITTEES
Consider Purchase of Views.

Senator Walker of Hancock spoke at
the meeting of the committee on inland
fisheries and game Wednesday afternoon
in favor of the resolve approrriating 5000
for the purchase of certain Photographic
views to be sent to other states under
the direction of the Governor and Coun-
ell for the purpose Of advertising Maine.
w. H. Gay of Poltland also appeared in
favor of the measure. The photOgrap hic
views which it is proposed to send out
are framed views about 30X40, and it was
estimated that the cost of deciding what
views to send out and having them pre-
scented to the Governor and Council and
placed by their direction in the places ont
Of the State suggested would be about $23
for each picture so that about so pictures
could be purchased and placed for the
sum of the appropriation.
Representative Cook Of Unity appeared
in favor of the act to extend the open
season on deer in the towns of Belfast
and Unity in Waldo county. Is days add
tional to the time in other portions of

President +. n. Adams. Secretary
George w. Earle, Herbert Starbird and
Joshua Slower of the Litchfield Fish 4
Game Association appeared in opposition
to the opening of Jimmy pond in Litch-
field to fishing during the summer
months. They explained that the pond
was located at the upper end of chain
of lakes and that in the summer when
the streams were low the fish stayed in
this pond and came down stream later.
f. E. Danforth of Litchfield and Mr..
Lynch of Sabattus spoke in favor Of the
measure.
Representative Allen of Jonesboro APP
Washington county. He stated that the
reason for asking for the bounty was
that the bears were becoming very nu
merous and killed many sheep. He asked
for bounty of s.. the same as that now
prevailing in Franklin and oxford coun
ties.
Fish and Game Commissioner j. w.
Bracket appeared in favor of petitions
for change in laws in regard to fishing
in Rangeley lake and kennebago stream.
The petitioners wished the streams open
TO fly fishing with the provision that only
one fish in one day should be taken from
Rangeley stream and two from Kenne-
bago stream.
H. a. Thayer, proprietor of Big Tunk
Outlet Lodge, sent a letter of remon-
STRANGE against the proposed bounty,
which was read.
Hon. Jasper Hutchins of Brewer and
c. l.. Thompson of Phillips Lake appear
ed in favor of a petition to regulate fish
ing in the tributaries of Phillips lake in
Hancock county. Representative Jones of
Bucksport appeared in opposition to the
measure, arguing that the people who had
no boats and could not get elsewhere to
fish should be allowed to fish on tina

total operating revenue received from
all sources was not sufficient to pay
the total operating expenses and the
interest on the funded debt, and that
the road is left with deficit of more
than 100000.
The road extending from Bingham
TO Kineo does not pay the actual eX-
penses of operation. The revenue de-
rived from the transportation OF pas

actual cost
Under these circumstances, to re-

hog cholera. especially in those states
where this kind of work has to be car
ried on with inadequate funds.
Three opportunities for experiment.
al work suggested themselves: First,
the use Of large animals (horses for
INSTRUMENTATION in order to obtain
greater yield of serum. Second, the
increase of the hyper-immunity Of Sc
rum producing hogs to a maximum,
with a view of obtaining a serum Of
higher anitoxic value, which would
enable us to reduce the immunizing
doses of the serum. Third, the ex-
traction of the various organs and It's
sues of the hyper-immune swine after
death. with view of ascertaining
whether or not the anti-bodies can
be obtained in that manner.
1t would seem from DR.. Van Es' re-
port that the experiments prove that
the discovery of this means of pre-
venting hog cholera is a success, and
should be of great benefit to the hog
raisers of the country in preventing
the disease, which annually takes off
thousands of animals at an enormous
loss to the breeders
DR.. Van Els will continue the work
next spring. and there is little doubt
but that many points will be obtained
! which will tend to increase the DO.
