New Trial in Knox
Auto and Team Case.

KNOX CoUNTY.-Jethrow D. Pease vs..
j. H. Montgomery. Rescript, per
Curtain.
This is an action brought by the pain
tiff to recover damages alleged to be
sustained by a collision between the
plaintiffs team and the defendants au-
tomobile. Damages We're claimed for In
jury to the team and personal injuries
to the plaintiff. The jury returned a
verdict for the plaintiff in the sum OF
four hundred seventy-five dollars.
The defendant presents a motion for a
new trial on several grounds; but II
seems to be necessary to consider only
one of them. namely, that the defend
ant, although the owner of the automo-
bile was not in the possession, contro
and management of it, nor was the
chauffer acting as his servant, at the
time of the accident.
A careful examination of the evidence
lead us to the conclusion that the verdict
was manifestly wrong, that the jury dc
not carefully consider the evidence Of
fered by the defendant upon this grounC
of defence and found a verdict withou
giving such evidence its due weight.
The motion to set aside the verdc
should be sustained. 1t becomes neces
sary to consider the exceptions, in view
motion.
Motion sustained, new trial granted.

Washington, Dec. S-More than So
100000 for the Mississippi river, al
most 80. 600. 900 for the Ohio river, more
than 81. 600 900 for the Missouri river,
almost s., O00, 900 for the Columbia river
and $1,000, 600 for the Delaware river
are the amounts considered necessary
by the chief of engineers OF the army
for the Improvement and maintenance
of these great waterways during the
fiscal year of 1915.
In submitting to the secretary of war
his report, made public today, the chief
of engineers makes estimates aggre-
eating S41, 4s3 S95 to be applied to 261
river and harbor projects during the
year ending June 80. 1915. This is 49,
634. 1874 less than the amount appropri-
ated by Congress for river and harbor
works for the fiscal year of 1914.
Liberal appropriations are eonsid-
cred proper and desirable for snag-
ging and other work necessary to
make natural channels available
wherever water borne commerce ex-
lists or is reasonably prospective" says
the chief of engineers. 1T is believed
that expenditures for such improve
ments are almost always useful and
advantageous to the general public
especially since the introduction and
rapid development of small gasoline
motor boats for combined freight and
passenger transportation"

New York, Dec. ESPECIAL. 1.-THE
members of the Maine Society of New
York met at the Hotel McAlpin, S3rd
Street and Broadway, on December 4,
for their annual banquet. This is an
event which brings together the sons
charms and wonders of the Pine Tree
State, and listen to the message which
may be brought to them by the guest
from Maine.
This year the Society was fortunate in
having the Congressman from the Third
Maine District present as the guest of the
evening. Mr.. Peters remarks were par
ticularly appropriate for the occasion
and were greatly appreciated by those
present. He mentioned first the wonderful
experiences which a man goes through
in running for Congress, the extent of
the territory which Maine covers, and
particularly the size of a congressional
district when one attempts to become
acquainted with all it's hooks and cor
ners. He spoke of Ellsworth and the
eminent men that it had given to the
State and nation: Senator Hale for so
long one of the foremost leaders of Con-
gress; and the number of justices and
chief justices it had furnished to the
Supreme Court of the State of Maine.
He then mentioned those things which
still linger in the memory or those who
have left the Pine Tree State for other
places the fruits, the berries, the fresh
air and the people of the State, and
urged his hearers not to forget the State
entirely, but at least return to it for
their vacations and go back to it if they
leave the city.

McGillicuddy Asks
Monthly Pensions.

Washington, Dec. 8.-Congressman
d. ]. McGillicuddy has just introduced
bill into the House of Representa-
tives authorizing the payment of PEN
sions monthly. That this will meet the
approval of all the old soldiers in
Maine there can be no doubt. Many
depend upon their pension to pay their
running expenses and grocery men find
it hard to be compelled to wait three
months for their pay. The prompt
passage of this bill will doubtless be
urged by all the Grand Army posts
of the state. 1t would give the PEN
sioners opportunity TO use their mon
ey for the immediate relief of their
wants, and would give them better
credit in their localities.
In speaking of this bill the congress
man says: The principal objection
urged against the bill is the increased
expense it would entail in the way of
clerk hire at the bureau of pensions.
| have tried to meet this in the bill by
authorizing the secretary of the in
terror to arrange the pensioners into
groups, paying each group at fixed
time In each month. l think this would
distribute the work of preparing the
vouchers, etc, so that it would not add
greatly to the clerical expense or
work At any rate, it seems to me
that the government can at this time
we'll afford to- pay whatever extra ex-
pense that is, Incurred in order to re-
lieve some of the hardships of the
men who saved the government it
self"
Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representative of the Unit
ed States of America in Congress as
sembled: That from and after the
fourth day of March, nineteen hundred
and fourteen, the secretary of the in
terror shall make payment of pensions
monthly to all persons entitled by
law to receive the same, such payment
to be made by checks or vouchers as
provided by existing statutes.
Sec 2. That for the purpose OF
making said payments of pensions the
secretary of the interior is hereby au-
thorized to arrange all pensioners in
such groups as he may deem practical
and convenient, and to make such pay
ment of pensions to the pensioners IN
each group on such day in each month
as he may fix (and may from time to
time change any pensioner from one
group to another, and shall cause pay
ments to be made to said pensioners
for such fractional part of a month
as may be made necessary by the
transfer of any pensioner from one
| group to another.
Sec 8. That all acts or parts of acts
! inconsistent with this act are hereby
repealed.
This bill will be known as House
Bill, No. 9S99S.
