NEW FIRE BILL
MORE ADEQUATE
Gives the State Right to
Close up Buildings When
ORDERS are Not
Executed.
DIV UnIted Press WIre.

Columbus April 1.-THE new Hud
son bill requiring more adequate
IRE protection of workers I'm shops and
factories goyes the state the right
TO close up all buildings whore own
ers fail or refuse to carry out the
orders of the chief factory inspector
on his deputies.
The attorney general Is authorized
TO file an injunction suit against
public nuisance. The court may Is
sue temporary restraining order
without notice TO the owner.
A penitentiary sentence, however
Is provided for failure to comply with
the orders of the inspector. Chief In
spector Kearns claims this is not
necessary. "It would make It much
harded for my department to get a
conviction as penitentary sentences
are more or less apt TO be suspend
ed than are fines" he said today.
"Fines which increase from day to
day as long as the orders ofp the de
partment are not observed and the
provision giving the attorney general
the right to declare buildings not
protected n public nuisance give this
department the best means for en-
forcing our orders"
ANY person who has been convicted
and fined under the provisions Of
Hudson bin may be prosecuted and
fined from time to time until he
shall have made the alterations and
additions demanded, and If he is con
victed the amount of the fine shall
be computed upon the number Of

after nearly ten years of separation.
My brother, Mr.. E. L. Gowen, who is
prospecting out here, is well known in
Montville and Freedom and other towns
of Waldo county; as is also his wife, Mrs.
Mile Lane Gowen, daughter of C. E.
Lane of Brooks. Their only child, Miss
Gertrude Ora Gowen, is beautiful and
cultured young lady, who spent last
winter with our people in Maine.
At this writing there is great excite
ment here over the confessions of the
Mcnamara brothers, the dynamiters,
and the municipal election to take place
December 9Th. One of the great ques-
tions to be voted on is the abolition of
the liquor traffic in this city. There are
in Los Angeles some 300 saloons, licensed
to sell liquors and to make drunkards
and criminals. There were nearly 20, 900
arrests for drunkenness in the past ten
months, and for every dollar the city
derives in revenue from the saloons the
sober taxpayers pay $40 to take care of
drunkards and the crimes due to the liq-
uor traffic. These wicked open saloons
are disgrace to this beautiful city and
shame to humanity. Whoever up
holds the saloon is upholding a mean
business, whether in Maine or California.
