 Have Been Cut Off.

Lesser brothers. proprietOrs of a local mar ket, brought suit today for S100.000 damages against the Retail Butchers association. it's officers and a number of wholesale dealers in meat. It is charged that the wholesale and retail dealers combined to sell supplies for the market conducted by complain ants because it marks the price per pound on it's meats and also publishes it's prices in defiance of an agree ment among dealers into which the Lesser Brothers refused to enter.
 The retail dealers. it is alleged, have threatened to withdraw patron age from wholesale firms selling to the prescribed market. and only two large firms have held out against this pressure.
 In addition to damages. the court is asked to enjoin defendants from bOycotting the market or making threats that will injure it's business.

Inventors Theory Regarding
 Big Gun Explosion MIR. MEYER HAS ANOTHER
He Does Not Believe, as Sir Hiram Does, That the Form of Powder Grains Has Anything at All to Do With Disasters.

Washington, Dec 2S-Statements by Sir Hiram Maxim. who wrote President Taft october 25 that gun explosions in the United States army and navy were due to the form of the powder grain in use. were characterized as 'un-
 worthy of serious consideration" in a
 letter tdsthe president from Secretary of the Navy Meyer. which was made
 public today.
 Appended to Secretary Meyers letter was memorandum from Brigadier General William CrOzier. chief of ord nance, U. :. A, to the secretary of war, refuting MaXims criticism as well as an article in Engineering" a Lon don. periodical. frequently referred to by Maxim.
 Tt is considered" says Secretary Meyer. "unwarranted tOSarry out fur ther the experiments desired by Maxim, and that his statements in relation to our smokeless powder are unworthy of serious consideration. except as to their misrepresentations and to the evil ef- fleets of their wide publicity upon those unacquainted with the subject"
 In regard to Maxim's statement that he has had great experience and knows what he is talking about" Sec retary Meyer says Maxim is ignorant of the type Of smOkeless powder used by the United States government. and it is quite probable that he had very little or no experience with it, however familiar he may be with nitro- glycer- inc. or cOrdite powders"
 The broad statement of Maxim" continues Secretary Meyer. that gun accidents in the United States navy are due tO multi-perforated powder grain, is shown to be untrue from evidence not at all connsfted with the details or the grain. When the composition of the powder and the details of the grain are considered. there is additional evil dence to show that these elements are not at fault
 Not in one case" says the secre- tary. has evidence shown that the smokeless powder in use at the time of the explosion was at fault in any degree"
 Brigadier General Crozier's memOran- dunn supports the contention of Secre- tary Meyer with regard tO military eX- periments with smokeless powder It is indicated that since the introduction of smokeless powder in the military service. but one large gun has burst, ! and only two or three field guns. the accidents being ascribed to other |

Rev. Raymond Browning OF Little
ton. N. c., opened series OF revival
meetings at the Green Street Methodist
church Monday evening. The opening
service was we'll attended and the

and that mans physical achievements
were the result of God revealed truth.
He pointed out that the Gospel was
given to man in order that through it's
pleadings he might be freed from the
slavery of sin.
The Alexander Song Book was used
at the services and the singing was
special feature. The meetings will con-
tinue every afternoon and evening I'M
til further notice. Evangelist Brown

by Weston Lewis, the president of the

Prof Hitchings exhibited charts and
mounts and began by giving the life
history of the brown-tail moth in all
it's stages. He gave a brief account of
the history of the moth in the old
country and it's advent into this coun-
try and pointed out some of the dan
gers following the neglect Of it's re-
mova!.
The speaker dwelt in considerable
detail upon it's gradual spread in Maine
from the beginning in 1905 to the pres
ent time. The gradual spread inland
was traced from the first infestation
found in 1905, extending from Kittery
to Bar Harbor, along the coast. THE
moth had certainly been here some
years before it was discovered" said
the speaker. mo question exists in
my mind that it had been here five
years before the State took hold of the
work of determination.
THE spread has been gradually in
land, mainly in the direction of the
prevailing wind, at the time when the
moth is flying in July. The pest was
Enthusiastically brought by boat to
Portland. Rockland and Bar Harbor at
about the same time it appeared over
the line from New Hampshire.
The spread of the moth in 1906 and
1907 was much more extensive than in
1908 and 1909 on account of favorable
seasons. 1t has now practically cover
ed the whole of York. Cumberland,
