Franchise Bill
Has Been Drawn
J. T. McCrosson Will Ask Leg
islature To Approve
Irrigation Scheme

ions of the Organic Act. However,
part of the criticism that was direct-
ed against the Kau bin here when 1t
was presented to Congress arose from
the fact that it had not been given due
publicity in Hawaii nor passed upon by
the Territorial Legislature before it
was presented to the national law
making body
The Kau bill which was presented
to Congress has been withdrawn. Aft
er its Introduction, the disapproval
here took the form of several amend
ments which We're forwarded by Gov
ernor Frear and which McCrosson and
his Legal advisers contended copld not
be accepted, as the scheme would not
then be financially feasible. Tho
amendments, IKE the bill, applied not
specifically to the Kau scheme, but to
general irrigation propositions as well.

TWELFTH DAY

The trust company interests in Ho-
nolulu are preparing to present a Wig
orous protest to the terms of the bill
introduced by Senator Cecil Brown
when the hearing on the bill is held
by the Ways and Means Committee of
the Senate.
The bill is designed to give the
banks all of the rights and privileges
in the administering of estates and
other business of trust nature now
held by the trust companies, and if
passed it is believed that a great re-
duction in the business of the trust
companies would follow.
A public hearing is to be held on
the bin tlis week, when tne opposition
to the passage of the bill will be well
represented.
The bill that provides that public
officers absent from the Territory for
more than three months shall lose their
positions with the expiration of the
third month of their absence, was
passed by the Senate this morning,
three votes being registered against
it by Senators Chillingworth, Quinn
and Hewitt.
The judiciary committee reported on
the bill as follows, the report being
adopted:

House Bill No. 16, relating to tenure
of public officers, was referred, with

Reduction I'm Price.

The Lewiston Journal Company has
announced an important reduction in
the price of the Lewiston Evening
Journal. The subscription rate to
mail subscribers is now four dollars a
year to all points outside of the car
rier deliveries of Lewiston and Au-
burn. Where the unfortunate ar
rangement of the rural free deliveries
makes it impossible to receive the
paper the day of publication the rate
has been reduced to three dollars a
year
The reduced rates have resulted in
largely increased circulation This
change does not mean any lessening
of the quality of the Journal but every
effort will be made to increase the
efficiency of its service, to maintain
its position as the leading daily news
paper in Maine.
While making these changes the
Daily and the Lewiston Weekly Jour
nal will maintain their we'll earned
position as leading newspapers, dis
seminating all the news of Maine.
The Lewiston Journal will continue to
be the steady advocate of all that will
advance the interests of Maine, in
business, social and political lines.
The Maine man makes a sad mistake
who does not include the Lewiston
Journal in his next years newspaper
literature. Whether or not the reader
likes the Lewiston Journals point
of view, this newspaper may set him
along new lines and feeling
along broader horizons.

The many friends and relatives in
Skowhegan and vicinity were shocked
to hear that Manley w. Turner of Los
Angeles, Cal, passed on to the higher

Skowhegan as person possessed of
a good education and of practical
business ability.
In middle life he went to Boston
and finally became engaged in the
electric light business. but owing to
changes in Boston's system of lighting
he sold out his shares and immediate
ly sought investments in the oil fields
of California. He located in Los
Angeles, having oil fields in Whittier
and Ventura. During eighteen years
in the West, Mr. Turner was in
strumental in making many changes
in the methods of handling oil. He
organized and became president of
the Turner Oil Company, which Office
he held at his death.
Mr.. Turner was a member of the
lodge of Free Masons and a Knight
Templar He leaves a brother Fla
Vile, and two nephews Charles and
Harry Turner, wife who was form
erly Miss Emily F. Corson of Athens,
Me-, and later of Boston, Mass, also
a niece Miss Louise A. Corson of
Madison, Me-, to mourn his loss In
Los Angeles, besides large circle
of relatives and friends who are

ENGINEMAN WAS STRANGE
TO TRACKS HE TRAVELLED
Official Report on Cause of Fatal
Wreck at Fort
Wayne, Ind.

THE engineman in control of the
train was required to handle this high
speed passenger train over tracks with
which he stated he was not familiar
and over which he had not run for
twenty-one months" So H. w. Bel
nap, chief inspector of safety appli-
ances of the interstate commerce COM
mission, writes in his report to the
commission on the Pennsylvania wreck
at Fort Wayne, Ind, August IA. In
which a number of persons were killed
and injured.
Continuing Mr.. Belnap says: "The &C
cident was caused by train attempting
to pass over a No. 10 cross-over from
one track to another at high rate of
speed. probably about sixty-fve miles
an hour
1.-The engineman in control Of the
train, being regularly assigned to an
other division, was unfamiliar with
and for that reason failed to observe
general order No. 83, which required
that speed over this crossover should
be reduced to ten miles per hour or
less" He adds that there was no slow
board" used to indicate to approach
ouired, although it was the practice
occasionally to use such slow boards.
The air-brake tests required by rule,
he says, were not adequate to provide
that certain knowledge OF air-brake
conditions which enginemen in charge
of passenger trains should at an times
possess, land in this instance the pro-
visions of the rule were not properly
complied with by the employees In
charge of this train"
