The agitation among the Italian rail-
way men in favor of a strike to enforce
their demands for increased wages con-
tinues, but with great secrecy, as the
employees consider that their chance Of
success depends largely upon surprising
the authorities. The government is do
ing its utmost to check the movement,
as it is realized that a serious situation
would result if the more than $1,000 men
who have voted in favor of a strike
should go out. The railways of Italy gen.
orally are owned by the government and
a movement by the men to tie up the
whole system ana cripple industries de-
pendent upon the lines of comm. unication
would place the strikers in direct con-
easy over the situation.

The following statement shows the
results Of the change in the Tax Law
on insurance companies enacted by
the Legislature in 1909, which became
effective July Ord 1909 and covers the
period from July 3rd to Dec. 3lst. The
important feature Of the law was the
exemption from taxation of premiums
OF assessments for fire insurance on
larm property and the taxation of
premiums or assessments, other than
such premiums and assessments on
farm property, collected by Maine COM
panies. This table shows that the
state received $2,s16.S3 more than
would have been received under the
law in force prior to July 3rd The

LAW COURT ApJoURNS.
Attorney General Appears for State in
York County Case.

Attorney General Warren c. Phlbrook
appeared before the law court Wednes-
day upon the calling of the York county
docket to argue the States side Of the
case Of Joseph Calico In error VS.. State
Of Maine. The counsel for the plaintiff
are Williamson, Burleigh & Mclean Of
Augusta and the argument for the plain
tlif was presented by Joseph Williamson.
The case is an interesting and some
what peculiar one. Tho offence with
which the plaintiff is charged and for
which he was indicted in May 1903 was
committed in York county. Tho indict-
ment charged Calico with placing an OBJ
struct1on upon the track of the Atlantic
Shore Line Railway and for this offence
he was found guilty and sentenced to Ii
years i'll State prison. He now brings u
writ Of error, claiming that the offence
of which he was guilty was obstructing
a street railway and that the maximum
penalty should have been 60 days In jail.
The sentence was evidently imposed
under the general provision of statute
relative to the obstruction Of any rail-
road and in that section of the statute
the minimum penalty is 10 years in state
prison. The plaintiff in error claims that
the form of the indictment was not such
as to authorize the court to impose the
penalty Of obstructing any railroad and
that therefore he could not be legally
sentenced to the term which was imposed
upon him. The State clams that the in
tent of the statute when properly con
strued was broad enough to cover either
steam or electric roads, hence the penalty
was properly inflicted.
The plaintiff claims further that even
though the statute in question should be
construed TO cover electric as well as
steam roads the indictment did not con-
form with the statute, because 1t con-
tanned no allegation Of Il specific intent
that persons or property be injured,
which plaintiff claims is an essential elc-
mcnt Of the offence described in the
statute.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 24.-There were 569
deaths from acute anterior poliomyelitls, or
infantile paralysis, ll6 from pellagra, fifty
five from rabies, or hydrophobia. and nine
deaths from leprosy in 1908 in the death
registration area of continental United
States which comprises over 30 per cent
Of the total population, according to the
census bureaus forthcoming bulletin on
mortality statistics for 1863 submitted to
Census Director Durand by DR.. Cressy L.
Wilbur, chief statistician for vital statistics
1t is reported that, of the 500 deaths from
infantle paralysis, 552 were of white and
only seventeen of colored persons There
was a somewhat greater incidence of
disease among males and an increased
mortality in August, September and
October
The bulletin states that no statistical
segregation OF infsntle paralysis as a
cause of death has been made heretofore
but the increasing importance of the disease
and its wide prevalence throughout the
country in the form OF local epidemics
render a statement of the mortality inn
portant. Like meningitis which II some
what resembles, it is difficult to obtain an
exact separation OF the deaths from the
specific infectious disease. acute anterior
| poliomyelitls, from other infections OF
similar nature, Acute anterior poliomyelitis
is described by the bulletin as an acute in
| fictitious disease chiefly affecting children
in the first five years of life. and while
not infrequently fatal is of even more
serious consequence the cause of more
or less permanent paralysis and atrophy
OF muscles Numerous outbreaks have oc-
CURED in this country the most important
of which were those in Vermont, in 1884
and in New York and Connecticut, in 1857.
The $50 deaths compiled for the registration
area for 1909 were widely distributed and
indicate endemic or epidemic prevalence in
many parts of the country. II should be
remembered. the bulletin points out that
the census data relate only to registration
sources. and that for the nonregistration
states the deaths are only those returned
from the registration cities contained
therein. The deaths from acute anterior
