GIVEN ADDITIONAL POWER
CORPORATION SOLE APPROVED
IN MAINE.
Gov. Hanes Signs Bill Affecting the
Bishop of Portland.

Augusta, Meow. William T.
Haines has signed the corporation sole
act whereby the Roman Catholic
bishop of Portland remains a corpor-
alton sole and is given the additional
power to establish parish corpora
tons whenever such may be desir-
able and approved by church author
tiles. These corporations are to be
formed on the plan now existing in
New York, Connecticut and Rhode
Island, the trustees to consist of the
bishop, vicargeneral and pastor and
two laymen selected by the first
three.
The bill originally introduced by the
French-American committee, propos.
ing the repeal of the corporation sole
law in 1887 and the incorporation of
separate parishes, was rejected by
the judiciary committee, as were
some of their amendments to the bill
introduced by Bishop Walsh, which
was given Gov. Hainess approval to-
day.

IN AID OF Y. M. C. A.
SUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGN CLOSES
IN BERLIN.
w. w. Brown Leaves $4,000 for New
Building.

Berlin.-A most brilliant and sue.
cessful campaign in aid of the Y. M
c. A. was closed in Berlin last week.
w. w. Brown, late president of the
Berlin Mills company, in his will left
a bequest of $4,000 as nucleus for
building for the Y M. G. A. in this
city. Later six acres of land were
acquired giving ample room for a
quarter mile cinder track, baseball
grounds, tennis court and other fea
lures. Last week it was decided to
raise $4,000 in six days, and two
committees were appointed one OF
fifty members and the other of 100
After four and half days of effort
it was found that $4,000 had been
subscribed, $4,000 more than the
proposed amount, and soliciting was
discontinued. 1t is a record seldom
equalled, and magnificent testimon
ial to the push and energy of the
people Of the paper city.

FIND ELECTION ERROR
MAKE THREE THOUSAND BLuND-
Err COUNTING VOTES.
Charles S. Bird and Lieut.Gov.
Walsh make Gains.

Boston.-A three thousand vote
blunder in the tabulation of the votes
for Charles S. Bird and Lieut.
Gov. Walsh at the last state election,
as announced and declared has been
discovered by some of the sharps who
have been check ng up the oficial
figures.
In the case of both of these men,
it seems at some stage a total of 5000
was dropped from the tabulation of
what they received, and as a result all
the official proclamations made so far
will have to be corrected to set the
facts forth.
1t appears that Mr.. Bird really re.
ceived 125,6O2 votes, instead of 1927
COZ, with which he is credited.
Lieut.-Gov. Walsh also, it would
seem, is entitled to 1919 votes, in
stead of the 1919 with which he
is credited in the state documents.
In short, Notwithstanding the three
days canvassing of the vote by the
Governor and council, and the formal
proclamation of the results in the
Legislature, and the publication of the
official documents, a genuine old
fashioned blunder has been made
and the authorities now have the
problem of working out some way tc
correct the records.
1t may have to be done by the max
ling of new proclamation to the Gen
eral Court, entering the same on the
Journal of the House and Senate
and in addition an errata slip will
have to be entered in the official docu
ments now out.

FARMERS FIGHT
AGAINST BILL
Representatives of the Maine
Farming Districts.
MOTION TO POSTPONE LOST
Tried to Kill the Apple 6ill.-Mo-
ton to indefinitely Postpone
Packing Law Is Lost
81 to 43.

Augusta.-Represe of the
farming districts last week put up a
strenuous but unavailing fight against
the bill relating to the packing of
the apples A motive to indefinitely
postpone it was lost, at the end Of
the debate by a vote of so to AZ. The
bill provides that a barrel of Al apples
shall consist entirely of AL apples
and allows no leeway as does the pres
ent law. The law also provides for
a specified size for barrels and boxes.
There was a general opposition to
the bill on the part of the represen-
tatives of the farming districts, who
in behalf of their constituents point
out that the bill would mean a great
hardship to the farmers and nearly
double the expense of packing. The
fruit growers association favored the
bill and the representatives who were
backing the bill pointed out the great
benefits that would accrue from it's
passage from the high standard on
which the Maine market would be
placed.
Rep. Eaton of Oxford, said that
Maine afforded the best orchard land
in the United States and expressed the
belief that any law that would give
the people of the state what they were
paying for, would be good thing.
Rep, Jones of China spoke against
the bill, saying that the standard bar
rels would mean a hardship to the
farmer who buys his barrels from the
manufacturer and Immediately packs
them with apples. If the barrels are
discovered to be short, the buyer
falls back on the farmer, but the far.
mer has no redress, whatever, to
reach the manufacturer who sold him
the barrels. He claimed that the Sec
ton giving the commission of agricul-
ture power to enter any building in
which apples are stored was uncon-
stitutional. He also pointed out that
the cost of packing apples would be
nearly doubled by the proposed law.

THANKSGIVING DEVICE
Two of 1874 Inventions Selected by
Mellen. ~

Two automotic train-stopping de-
vices among 1874 inventions, designs,
and suggestions submitted by com.
petitors for the $4,000 prize offered
by President Mellen of the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad COM
pany, have been selected by the en-
gineers of the road for practical ex-
periments, and it is believed that one
of the devices, through experiment
and investigation may be raised to the
efficiency required in the companys

for the inventor. Neither of the two
inventions is perfect, but the en-
gineers reported that they were
worthy of installation for trial in

TRADE CONDITIONS NORMAL
Reports at Annual Meeting of Maine
State Board of Trade.

Auburn, Me.-"In the realm of bust
ness trade conditions are normal" re-
ported Secretary Edward M. Banding
of Bangor at the semi-annual meeting
OF the State Board of Trade. "In the
face of unreasonable weather condi-
lions during considerable portion of
the winter, and with strike in prog
ress for two months on the extensive
system of the Bangor & Aroostook
railroad, and new administration at
the nations capital, general business
has been reasonably satisfactory. Ag-
riculturally Maine is prosperous, al
though the high prices for potatoes
