from running away with automobiles.
Just who was responsible for the use
of the spike is not yet known, but it
is known that one of the tires on J.
L Elam's buzz buggy today
contains a fair-Sized hole as a teSti-
mOnial of the experience through
which it went last night.
Mr. Elan left the machine near his
home, 1855 Washington street, last
night but overlooked to remove the
plug when he put on the brakes.
Some time after 10 o'clock unknown
parties discovered the devil cart, and
finding the spark plug in place. pro-
ceeded to take a spin. All went well
until IsaacS avenue was reached,
where the spike apparently got into
play. and the Whizz wagon was con-
signed to the tender mercies of who
ever might find it. Mr.. Elan saws
the amount of gasoline and oil in the
tanks shows that the carriage was
used for but a short distance. The ma
chine was not damaged beyond a
punctured tire.

Miss Stella Grinstead is again in the

some six thousand to the good. In the
fourth division of the territory, Bessie
Faust is ahead and although she hat
a slight lead, others are close behind.
In each of the four districts interest
is growing keener and from all in
dicatiOns there will be a pretty fight
for first honors before the end of the
contest comes. The prizes are well
worth the trouble of securing and the

indeed counted fortunate.

THAT EMERGENCY PREAMBLE.
Discussed BY Officers Of Fish and Game
Association.

Mr.. y. N. Parks, president, and Col
Z. c. harrington. secretary OF the
Maine Sportsnen's Fish and Game
Association. We're seen regarding the
question raised hy Representative Pat
tancall. as to the 'emergency' pre-
amhle OF The resolve for the maln-
tenance OF the hatchcrfcs and the care
Or the eggs and fish After examining
the language of the referendum re-
solve. it seems plain that Mr.. Pattan-
sails opinion is correct. The language
of the resolve is as follows:
AN emergency bill shou inCiucc on
Is SUCH measures as are Immediately
necessary for the preservation OF the
public peace, health and safety"
There seems to be no provision By
which the State can protect its pro"er-
tn In this ease the State has 5000.
600 trout and salmon eggs and small!
fish in its hatcherics, and the men
employed to care for them are poor
men with families and they must be
paid ii their services are retained. It
would seem that the state ought to
have some power to protect its proper
~, which might be endangered or
ruined if it had to wait until July be
fore it had any avaiMb1e funds to
use. Bat this is the situation, and the
only course open is to raise tie mone%
ne cded to continue the care Of the
large amount of property it has in
these eggs and fish in our hatcheres.
Says Mr.. Harrington: I'VE wish to
assure the friends Of these interests,
that while we have but little fund
available. our membership is 50 large
ana influential, that the association,
upon the passage Of thus resolve will
undertake to raise sufficient money
for the care of this property, until
the state can legally meet these obli-
cations"

! Representative Jones of Bucksport
spoke in opposition. He said that there
were many motor boats owned on the
island and that they We're the best
means of communication. The passage
to Ellsworth, he thought. was much
safer than the trip to Rockland.
In Bucksport, where / live, 1t IS
much easier for us to get to Bangor
than to Ellsworth, but we haven't ask
ed to be made a part of Penobscot
county"
Senator Walker of Castine thought
there was no valid reason for the sep
arat;on. He argued that Castine was
mich nearer Belfast than Ellsworth
but that the people there never dream
ed of joining Waldo county.
IF we all of us started in that way.
there wouldn't be any Hancock county
left soon" he declared.
Representative Harmon opened the
case in favor Of the bill to make Ston-
iligton q part OF Knox. He thought
practically all of the business men IA
vored 1t. All Of Stonington's business
interests were with Rockland rather
than Ellsworth, he said, and the
change would save money and annoy
ance to everyone.
Dr.. Blake Moves, who said he was
the largest taxpayer in the town, was
the star witness for the bill and his re
marks, occupied nearly two hours. He
said that the people who had signed
the remonstrance had done 50 h""HnSo
the facts had been misrepresented 70
them. Elmer p. Spofford OF Deer Isle
who conducted the case for the remon'
strants, presented a petition signed
by the four largest granite firms IN
Stonington protesting against the
change. Dir. Moves said some of them
had signed his petition too. He couldn t
understand what object they had IN
wanting to remain in Hancock county
but thought it might be revenge.
The town had refused to abate the
taxes en- their plants, he said. DR.,
Noyes went over the list of remon-
strants in detail and attempted to dis
credit it.
judge Z. r. Chase of Bluehll said
the sentiment Of the people III ms part
Of Hancock county was unanimously
against the change. In summing up 1ot
the oppositio Mr.. Spofford SAID that
the principal argument advanced IN
favor of the Hill was that il was easier
for Stonineton people to get to Rock
land to attend court than to go to Els
worth. He thought that the municipal
court there took care of most of their
cases ana that what few others there
were wouldn't make much difference.
The conditions now are no different
than when the county was first organ
i7od ana the island was logically part
OF Hancock.
