FROM WASHINGTON.
Old Claims of Hancock County POST
spasters-Maine Men

eE0l&l II AAA&k 0eAtA- "a -
claims for excess Of salary for the perioo 1
from 1865 70 1874 which has seitsteo me /
Senate tremendously Of late There are
! twenty-nine separate claims OF thst cnar-
acser FROM the county fo- twenty oA1erens
| posfussters, out of about 500 separate
claims for the entire State Of Maine
As was explained during the Senate de-
bate. Congress once specifically prohibited
the payment of these claims. on the
ground that the poetoffiee department bad
once fully satisfied all the legal claims for
compensation which the postmasters hsd
against the government Harry Spslding.
| of Washington law firm, which has been
keeping these claims alive for years, re-
Gently drew q set of resolutions, directing
that the sixth auditor resudit those claims
| and forward report thereon to the
Senate. One OF the resolutions, that for
Massachusetts,, passed through an insd-
| vertsnce, although Senator Lodge has
since announced his readiness to with
draw it. The Senate committee on post
offices Is to make q report on the claims
within few DAYS. and without doubt viii
state that they have no standing in Law or
equity.
The contention arose over an interpreia-
ton of 8 statute Of many years ago
An adjustment Of postmastsrs' salaries for
the period from 1864 to 1874 was made in
the early sos. after there had been long
and fierce wrgngle as TO whether the sd-
justment should be by the terms Of Law
enacted IN 1854 or by one enacted in 1854
Postmaster-General ". q. Gresham,
through his chief clerk, issued an inter
probation in 1883 that the adjustment
should be by the terms of the law Of 1854,
but this was set aside by an opinion from
the then attorney general. W. H Brews-
ter The attorney generals opinion WIS
afterwsrd approved by an act of Congress
which prohibited the auditing of the
other claims.
Senator Hale was one Of those who de-
nouneed the persistence with which the
old claims have been pressed Letters
were read in the Senate showing that in
some instances small sums had been col
leeted from these old postmasters or their
heirs or assigns to pay the expenses of
protecting their rights before the post
Office department, and also to show that
contracts have been made with the claim
ants by which fee Of twenty per cent. or
more should be paid for the collections.
Ellsworth has she largest of any OF these /
old claims from Hancock county. In 1889
L. D. Jordan preferred claim for 500 on
account Of his services as postmaster Of
that town from 1854 to 1866, for which be
was paid ESQ Two years later, in $50,
David Mcfarland preferred claim for
similar sum of 800 for excess salary for
the period Of 1s72-7s, during which the
government paid him z. 500 for serving as
Ensworth's postmaster. |
Cornelius Wasgatt, as postmaster at
Swans Island, has the largest number of
these claims of any one from Hancock
county. Many postnasters failed To file an
plications within the time specified for the
adjustment under the Law OF 1854, and |

London.-The reading public is
eagerly awaiting the publication of
Carmen Sylvia's" volume of remin-
iscences under the title From Mem
ory's Shrine"
Messrs. Sampson, Low. Marston &
Co. have secured the English transla-
ton of the Queen of Roumania's

"All the profits derived from the
sale of the Queen of Roumania's book
will be given to a blind school at Bu-
charest, In which her Majesty takes
the greatest interest" said the man
aging director of the firm.
Perhaps nothing can give better
idea of the nature of the volume than
Carmen sylvia's" preface. in which
she says:
IT am about to throw open the
sanctuary 1 have so long jealousy
guarded from the world-the private
chapel within whose inches my me-
mories are enshrined."

First Church of Christ, Scientist, in
Concord, n. H" The structure is
said to have cost upward of $780,
900. OF this, Mrs Eddy gave one
half and the remainder was contribut-
ed by her followers.
While she lived at Pleasant View,
it was Mrs. Eddy's custom to take a
daily drive, accompanied by Calvin A.
Frye, her secretary, along certain
favorite streets in the city and sub
urbs. Thus she became much inter-
ested in good roads and co-operated
with the city in building several miles
Of concrete and macadam streets un-
til practically her entire daily drive
was over such roads.
Mrs Eddy was the first to respond
to Red Cross and other appeals for
aid and she made frequent gifts to To-
cal and state charities and education
al interests and for public purposes.

MORE TROUBLE FOR
POOR INDIAN MAN
WALTER BOMSON HAS
PAPOOSE BUT NO SQUAw
Spouse Leaves Her Husband With
Six Months Old Babe - Bomson
Wants Woman Back or Else Wants
Her to Take Child With Her.

Walter Bomson or Walter Davis, as
he Is sometimes called, is again in
trouble. He has not stolen a horse,
been arrested for Drunkenness or be-
come involved in financial difficulties.
Worse than that, his wife has eloped,
leaving a six-month-old baby on his
hands.
Bomson says he does not care any,
thing for the woman, but he Is anx-
ious to get her back on his baby's ac-
count. If she had taken the child
with her, he declares, he would not
have made any effort to get her, but
under the circumstances he is anxious
to locate his erring spouse and bring
her back to her child.
1t seems that the woman left yes
terday afternoon on the Northern Pa
cific train, in company with another
Indian woman. The latter is from the
Neg Perce reservation and Bomson
naturally thinks they have gone to
the vicinity of Lewiston.
After he had discovered yesterday
that his wife had left, he wired to the
marshal at Pasco to arrest her and
send her back. He was therefore al
the train this morning when 1t ar
rived, but she was not on it. He an
.nounced later that he would wire tc
the agent on the Nez peree reserva-
ton and have him send her back.

viii Her Religion Collapse.

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 5.-Predictions
OF the collapse of Christian Science
are freely made today following the
death of Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy at
Chestnut Hill Saturday, by leading
protestant churchmen of Chicago.
Bishop Cheney of the Reformed Epis-
copal church said he believes Chris
tian Science will not survive it's
founder many years.
Cheney continued: 'I always be-
lieved that when Mrs. Eddy died a
struggle for leadership in her church
would follow. Her teaching is re-
pugnant to the scriptures. have
read Science and Health" and found
it ridiculous"
Mrs Eddy laid hold of half truth
and overworked it." said Jenkin
Lloyd Jones, an independent minis
ter today. THE vitality of her mes
sage will meet the supreme test now.
I expect the church will decline slow
ly but surely"

greatly enjoyed by those present A
number of short after dinner speeches
were made.

INDIAN CASES TO
COURT OF APPEALS

Attorney J. p. Winter leaves for
Portland tonight to take some local
Indian cases into the United States
circuit court of appeals. They are civ
il cases in which the question at issue
Is whether or not marriages accord
ing to the old Indian customs are le-
gitimate when made following the al
lotment of lands to the parties inter-
ested.
The cases that will be taken to the
circuit court Of appeals are those of
Rosa Parr versus the United States
and Yakima Joe versus Tu-is-lap.
When the cases were tried out before
United States Judge r. S. Bean in
Portland he ruled to the effect that
the marriages made in accordance
with the old tribal customs are legiti-
mate. However, his decision was
qualified to some extent and the at
torneys for the appellants express
hopes that the higher court will
change the ruling.
Aside from the two cases that will
be appealed there are many other To-
| cal Indian cases in which the same
question is involved as in the Parr and
Yakima Joe cases.

ton.
There is great need for the develop
ment of coal lands, at least to the ex-
tent of supplying the people of Alas
ka. Residents of towns located only
few miles from rich coal fields are
required to pay SIS q ton for coal
brought from British Columbia. An
effort will be made to pass a bill op-
ening up some of the coal lands on
leases that will protect the govern
ment and assure reasonable prices to
consumers.
Railroads are also needed for the
development of the territory and bills
to provide for their construction will
be in the legislative gist of business.
President Taft is on record as be-
ing in favor of combining all govern
ment agencies for the promotion of
public health into a bureau of pub
lie health. A bill to carry out the
plan is pending in congress and has
been the subject of a vigorous fight
that has prevented its passage. Its
opponents claim that the creation of
such bureau would result in its con-
troll by certain school of medicine
and that it would be doctors trust" !"
Senator Hepburn (rep. Idaho) is
chairman of the committee on manu-
features, the members of which spent
much time last session in the investi-
cation of the storage of food. He will
present a bill to regulate storage. 1t
is a complicated subject because,
while some kinds of food deteriorate
in storage in few months. others
will keep in good condition for years.
1t is not altogether question of cold
storage. Heat has to be provided in
the low temperature of winter to pre-
serve some articles of food.
A feature of the session will be the
report of the congressional commits
sion that conducted the Ballinger-
Pinchot investigation. The report of
the minority of the committee has
been made public, and 1t is expected
that the majority will be heard from
very early in the session.
Reports will be received from the
senate committee that is investigating
the alleged third degree" method OF
eXtorting information from prisoners
and a house committee that has beer
making an inquiry into charges thai
certain lawyers plan to extract three
million dollars or more in attorney
fees from Indians of the Five Civilized
tribes.

ment was made Saturday by County
