1t is considered probable that the
Maine Naval Reserve may have the
United States monitor Puritan station
ed at Portland for use in drills and as
an armOry. Lieut.. Guy l.. Weymouth,
commanding the first division of the
Reserves. has returned from a trip to
Washington, D. c., where he went by
direction of Adjutant General Dill on
matters connected with the Reserves,
and while there he conferred with Adj
miral w. c. Potter of the United
States Navy and Commander c. c.
Marsh, who is in charge of the Naval
Militia.
Lieut. Weymouth went particularly
to Sec about a vessel to be used by the
Portland Reserve for drills and as an
arnory. There is a shortage of first
class vessels at the present time and
the second class vessels and converted
yacht are all in commission, but the
officials in Washington think they can
arrange to furnish the monitor Puritan
for use in Portland.
Lieut. Weymouth visited the Puritan
while in Washington and found it to
be a fine type of monitor vessels and
in good condition. The machinery is in
fine shape. the boat has a free board
of about five feet and her superstruc-
ture is as high as that of any of the
smaller vessels. She is equipped with
four 12-inch guns, four 6-inch guns,
six 4-inch and 10 guns under four incA.
The Puritan will accommodate $50
men. as she is 900 feet in length and
COM pletely equipped for the number
above stated.
Il is probable that the vessel VIII
not come here until the latter part o!
September as the u. S. government
cannot at the present time furn'Sh
over six men to care for the vessel
While later in the season % will be iur-
nished at the federal expense.

STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
N.xt Meeting of Governor and Council
Tuesday, May 81, at 10 A. M.

From statistics secured at the Office
of the insurance commissioner and ia
ken from The Standard. an insurance
paper published in Boston, it is learn
ed that the fire losses for the month of
April were not only less than for the
same month of the year 1909, but were
lower than they have been for the
month of April since 1905. There
we're no unusual features connected
with the months record and the losses
we're widely distributed
Concerning the fire loss in Maine
during the month of A pril it is learned
that the number of fires which oc-
Cured in the state during the month,
where the resulting loss amounted to
$4,000 or over, was two. the total loss
therefrom being $4,000. In April, 1909.
the number of fires of the above class
which occurred was three, and the loss
was $4,000 a comparison of which los
ses shows an increase of $4,000 in that
Of the past month. Compared with the
fire loss in the State during the month
of March, which was 1865 900, that OF
April shows decrease of $215.00O.
According to the figures given in
1Ht StdItidIi lIt' loldl IRE ioSS i'll tIic
United States during the month OF
April, reckoned on the $4,000 basis,
was s14,36G, 900. while in April, 1909, it
was $l7, $50 900. showing by comparison
decrease Of S2014,0O0 in the loss of
the past month. A comparison of the
fire loss during the month of April
with that Of the month of March,
which was SIG 144,O 600, the April loss
shows a decrease Of s2,0S000. The to-
tai of the smaller and unreported fires
during the month of April was $780,
600, while for the same month in 1909
it was SIPS. 900, showing a decrease in
the total of the past month amounting
to $4,000.
The following figures show the
grand totals of the fire losses of the
United States for the first four months

MORGAN'S DRY GOODS
SYNDICATE INCREASES

New York,-In the sale of the Tefft-
Weller Company to the H. B. Clafiin
Company yesterday, another wholesale
dry goods establishment became coco.
ciated with the United Dry Goods
Companies, the J. P. Morgan syndicate
which is rapidly gaining control of the
dry goods business of the East. The
Tefft-Weller Company, which had been
in business for sixty-four years, sold
out at Y per cent Of the invoice price
of it's stock
Although the concerns finances were
in good condition, there was need Of
reorganization along modern lines.
Officers of the company decided 20
liquidate rather than attempt to re-
organize, and the company's stock was
accordingly advertised for sale. When
bids were opened yesterday the Chaf1in
offer was found to be the highest.
According to recent financial state
ment of the Tefft-Weller Company, as
sets were shown to be $1,O96. 1924 in ex-
cess of its liabilities, without taking
into account the company's capital
stock. Total assets were $685., 2SS. as
against total liabilities of s1,S49.9 5S.
The concern, in addition to owning
stock in several corporations. had a
quarter interest in the building at $50
Broadway. The Associated Merchants
Company, Of which H. B. Chaflin Com
pany is the wholesale branch, is con.
troled by the United Dry Goods Co.
