Railroad Hearing i
To Be Heard, Today.

Washington, May 6.-Facts concerning
the operations of the great New England
railroad systems, developed by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, during the
recent hearings. conducted by Commits
sioner Prouty in Boston, will be discuss
ed before the full commission beginning,
tomorrow.
Nearly year ago the commission in
stituteu an investigation in the rates,
Classifcations. regulations and practices
Of the New York, New Haven & Hart
ford, the Boston e. Maine and the Maine
Central Railroads. Numerous complaints
had been received alleging that. In their
rates and operations, the railroads were
unreasonable, unjustly discriminatory
and unduly preferential in their state
ment of the shipping public.
Hearings were concluded, last week,
in Boston. Tomorrow, counsel represent
ing both the railroads and the shipping
interests of New England will argue the
questions developed by the testimony.
Louis ID. Brandeis of Boston will appear
as principal counsel for the shippers,
while all the railroads will be represent
ed by their general counsel.

and who has led the officers and an
armed posse, over the best part of
two counties, since that time, was ar
rested here, tonight, by Night Off
Ger John r. Hefferen, at the railroad
station.
Roderck, when accosted by the Of
fcer, denied his identity, claiming he
was one of a party staying at Maple
Retreat on the opposite side of Lake
Sebasticook, and his purpose in com
ing to Newport, was to look for a
stray canoe
His story, however, had no effect,
for c. l.. Pingree, formerly of Fox

Roderick was the man hunted over
two counties. He gave his name as
Hardy and had on a new suit of
dark clothes, new raincoat, new
shoes and new hat, lie said after
wards to Officer Hefferen that ne
wished to reach New York.
Roderick was much chagrined NJ
his capture and evidently expressed
much dread of returning to the Pis-
cataquis county jail. where he will h.
taken, tomorrow morning, and, wher'
Officer Hefferen will claim the reward
of $40 for Roderick's capture.
The capture, SO easily, of the es-
capped prisoner, was an unexpected
climax to a manhunt, extending ovel
five days time, in which the fugitive
showed his heels to his pursuers, ever
fooled the bloodhound put upon his
trail. His knowledge of woodcraft
together with his being trained ath
lete were an asset of no mean abil-
ity and enabled him, time after tins
to easily elude his pursuers, Whc
seemed to almost have him within
their net, when to their discontinue
he would disappear in the woods. only
to be heard of several miles away.
Roderick has shown excellent nerve,
having at one time refused to stop,
even when fired at by one of his pur-
suers. Somewhere he secured an old
army rife, and the apprehensible
qualities of an armed man served him

ing Contests among the school
children Of Villas County. A linn
tied number of packages of first
class seeds of corn, oats, barley

Please send me list Of boys

our young people to help show
that we have some of the best ag-
ricultural lands in the state.
The exhibits for the County
