Expenses Written on.


with regard to the balance sheet
you will find that the credit side has
been considerably simplfed in conse-
quence OF the sale OF the powerhouse
undertaking. The items referring TO
the powerhouse and the various power
house funds have disappeared, and the
powerhouse has enabled the directors
10 write off the item Of preliminary
and other expenses and the cumulative
revenue deficiencies, besides enabling
them 10 write down the item OF COM
mission and discount from about
fs1s,O0O to R474,OOO.
ION the debit side Of the balance
sheet you will find the unpaid calls
reduced by a1040O0 II is expected
that the interest. amounting TO APP
proximately c $4,000 in respect OF these
calls, will be received very shortly.
This amount, when received, with the
exception Of $4,000. for which credit
has been taken in former half years,
will be available for the revenue &C
count OF the company. Further, the
1000, 900 first powerhouse debentures
which have been paid of out Of the
proceeds OF the sale Of the powerhouse
and also various suspense items have
disappeared
"On the other hand, Tho liabilities
have been increased by the income de-
benture stock and income bonds issued
in exchange for the London General

MAINE ELECTION

ship and seat IN United

Portland, Maine, Sept 1O.-Maine
turned back to the Republican party
in the state election, William I.
Haines. of WaterviiIe. being elected
governor over governor Frederick w.
Plaisted, his Democratic opponent who
sought a second term. The RepubH-
cans regained one of the two congress
sionaI districts lost to the Democrats
two years ago.
The new legislature is expected to
have a small Republican majority al
though returns today are not suffi-
cient to show whether former con-
gresham Edwin c. Burleigh, Repub-
lican, or senator Obadiah Gardner,
Democrat, viii be chosen to the Unit
ed States senate.
Returns for governor from SIS out
of 634 election districts give Haines
Republican, 5S,1S7; Plaisted Demo
craft 1906.
The corresponding vote for 1910
was: Fernald Republican, 1921;

First District-Asher c. Kinds. Re
second district-D J. McGinicuddy,

DETENTION HOSPITAL
FOR BABIES PROBABLE
Charity Association Starts Movement
to Relieve Conditions in the
Crowded Mexican Quarters.

In caring for the babies of the sick
and poor, the Charity association is
feeling the need OF establishing a de-
tention hospital for the care of babies
sick with contagious diseases. It is a
very difficult thing to quarantine sick
babies in the crowded conditions to be
found in the Mexican quarter. where
sometimes as many as Is people live
in two small adobe rooms. At present
a Waterman has to be paid to guard
the house to enforce quarantine regu-
lations and the women OF the Charity
association feel that by having a de-
tention house it would be less expense
in the long run and would be the only
effectual way of guarding against the
spread OF contagious diseases.
In order to establish this branch of
the work, considerable money viii be
necessary. The work is so necessary
that the association is planning ways
and means to work up the public in
terest in the undertaking. The assO-
citation cares for sick babies who have
not contagious diseases at the baby
camp. 405 South Campbell street

York delegation had voted SO to not
to support the candidacy of Gen. Daniel
