OLD TRICKS BEHIND EARL, JR.
Wins Free=fOr=All at Lewiston After Other
Driver Has Been Unseated in Two OF
The Heats==A New World Record
OF 2.O8 for Half Mile Track.

Lewiston, Me, July 31.-(SpeciaD.-
The man with the weak heart had no
business at the third days races in
the Grand Pine Tree circuit here, today.
That wonderful young Ramey Macy
came through with his habitual hero
stunt and took three straight heats in
the free-for- all, behind Earl. Jr., re-
peatng his sensational performances
on the Augusta track with Zarrine,
last season.
The state record went to smash
twice, Hal =, Jr., clipping one second
off the 2.09A mark of Wednesday, and
Earl. Jr., getting by in EOS flat in the
last heat, new worlds record for a
sixth heat on half-mile track.
Twice spills brought the immense
crowd to it's feet with cries of horror,
Earl, Jr, and his driver. Milloy beng
concerned in both. The first was caused
by Iial Mckinney being forced into
the fence, then colliding with Earl, Jf.,
throwing both drivers. Neither was IN
iuled beyond shaking up and b@th re-
fused to be relieved. After the second

Go On But Finally Appeased--
The Hearing PROCEEDS Haltingly.
Chairman Overman Forced 10 Put Brake on Super
f|uOus Comment on Part Of Star Witness.

The National Association of Manu-
faeturers' attorneys attacked Null
halls story told in his correspondence
and his examination in chief along
several lines. They sought to show
that he was discharged and did net
resign from the association. They
produced statements in a newspaper
that published his correspondence be-
fore the committee took up the in
Vestigation, alleged to have been made
by the Witness which he denied, and
they questioned him to show that he
tried unavailingly to dispose of his
documents to many magazines ana
newspapers without success. An eff
fort to SO into Mulhalls private life
was not allowed by the committee.
The lawyers were just getting 10
the question of the motives back of
MulhaIl's Exposure when the COM
mittee adjourned.
The witness had time. however, to
deny that he had KNITTED Senator
McGomas in the Maryland campaign.
The lawyers referred to a fiattering
friendly letter Mulhall wrote Gush-
ing just after the secretary left the
associations employ and then read
from another dated a few weeks lat
er written to an official in which Null
hall attacked Gushing bitterly.
Examined by members of the com
mittec Muihall said Gushing gave
him employment with the National
Association of Manufacturers and that
he always thought him friend until
the latter quit.

known by name that Gushing had givef
me a number and that he was taking al
the credit FOR what WAS done here" 1T

in the houses robbed. This does not
carry suspicion TO any of the servants,
but it is conceded that they may have
been innocent agents of the crooks.
When the detectives began work on
the Hanan case. they declared that it
was an Inside" job But when a day
later the Rumsey cottage was entered
the police modified their views and
thought that they saw the hand of the
experienced thief
At the same time, Mrs. Hanan refus-
ed to entertain the suspicion against
the % servants in her employ. all of
whom. with the exception of two
Japanese buffers. who came to her
we'll recommended, three months ago,
have been in her service for many
years.
Today, however, she admitted that it
was quite possible that some Of these
servants had made acquaintance who
thouehtlessly gave information that
was later turned to account.
The more the matter Of the robber-
les is studied the clearer it becomes to
the detectives that they We're commit

of the second robbery.
The selection of pieces at Mrs. Ha-
mans is also believed to have been
deliberate eliminating an earlier thu
DRY that ii was a hurried job. Mrs.
Hanan pointed out, tonight that the
thieves pushed aside a magnificent
string of India pearls that could not
have been disposed of without at
tracing attention and quite likely
suspicion. At the same time, they
took several stick pins belonging to
Mr. Hanan, who was lying i'll in an
adjoining room and a sapphire ring

Mysterious Automobile Seen on Ocean Road, Mar
ragansett Pier, R. /, Only Clue.

Narragansett Pier, r. T., July 81
homes of Charles Cary Rumsey and
John j. Hanan are being sought in
New York, Boston and other cities
where big transactions in precious
stones are not uncommon. Large
dealers in diamonds have been eau
toned against dealing with strangers
who have jewelry of great value for
sale The move is taken to indicate
a belief that the thieves have left
town with their booty and have Gov
cred their immediate tracks. It IS
believed however, that they will not
long resist temptation to realize on
their stealings The police through
out the country have been asked to
watch the pawn shops, but not much
is expected from this source. The de-
tectives are pretty well satisfied that
the robberies are the work of an eX-
pert gang, who are too shrewd to do
business with pawn shops. They de-
pend rather on making sales to large
houses dealing in gems on such a
scale that their sales would not at
tract attention.
But one elew of seeming import
ance has developed. That has to do
with the mysterious automobile seen
in Ocean road. Saturday night. At
ter learning all that he could about
this ear. one of the detectives en-
gagged by Mrs. Hanan left for New
York. today. Before going he called
upon Mrs. Hanan at Shore Acres and
told her that he had discovered some
thing very important He did not,
however. say what it was.
''The detectives said Mrs. Hanan,
later. ARE much of a puzzle to me
as the whereabouts of my jewelry.
The first word that I have heard
from the detectives was the assur-
ance from the operative, today. that
he had learned something very inn
portant and was going to New York
at once
The heretofore dfverging views of
those who We're robbed and the detec-
tives came together in something like
a working understanding for the first
time, today. This was that the thieves
were members Of n notorious band who

Few Copies in Maine and
Eagerly Studied.
A Glance Reveals The DONNA
ton Of Southern Democracy.
Maine Hardest Hit Of All Because
or Extensive Frontier.

A few copies of the tariff bill as it
has been approved by the Democrats in
the United States Senate, have been
received in Maine and are being exam
ined with deep interest by everyone
who mas access to them The schedules
and free list reveal the tremendous
representatives from the so-called
Southern states. That the Maine DEM
ocra1s at Washington have acquieseed
in this Southern control of the gov
eminent is shown by perusal of the
Congressional Record from day to day
A fair sample of the treatment Maine
is receiving at the hands of her Dem
ocratic representa- tives and their South
ern colleagues, is the placing of such
important Northern agricultural prod
ucts as potatoes, corn, buckwheat and
wheat on the free list, while such prod
ucts as rice, peaches. lemons. oranges.
grapefruit. peanuts, figs, raisins, dates
and pinea pples, products which must
he grown in the South. are still amply
protected.
Another instance of the way the bill
has been drawn is found in the wool
farmer raises. was placed on the free
list early in the game and that with
out ceremony or debate, but in the
House duty of 20 per cent. ad valo-
rem IVES returned on goats hair. The
reason was not difficult of discovery.
One Of the Southern members owned
a huge Angora goat farm in Texas.
But when the bill reached the Senate
this exception was little too strong
ever fer the Southern senator's. SO they
put goats hair on the free list, too,
but as 4 concession to the goat farm
er statesman. they put in a proviso
that the new rate shall not take effect
until Dec. l. 1913.
The Republicans WHO are urging the
election Of Hon. John A. Peters to Con-
gress do not believe that the farmers
of Maine once they are in possession
of the facts, will vote. either directly
or indirectly, to endorse such rank
sectional favoritism. The slogan of
the Peters supporters is likely to be.
"A vote for Peters is a vote for pro-
lection and prosperity. A vote for any
other candidate is an endorsement of

Boston. July 31.-Sanderson & Porter
of New York described here as troll
ley promotion and operating firm, have
purchased the western Massachusetts
troleys owned by the New England In
vestment and Security co. The an
nouncement was made here, today, It
is understood locally that the New
Haven Railroad has guaranteed the
dividends on the stock of the company
and this sale is looked upon by many
as the initial step in the plan of the
New Haven to divorce its trolley lines.
The roads included in the sale are
the Springfield Street Railway, the
Worcester Consolidated Street Rail
way, the Milford, Attleborough &
Woonsocket Street Railway; the At
tIeborough Branch Railroad Co; the
Interstate Consolidated Street Railway
Co, and two leased lines of the Wor-
cester, the Worcester &, Webster and
the Webster " Dudley Street Railway
Cos.
The New England Investment and
Security CO., controls approximately
AIS miles of street railway"
The New England Investment and
security Co. is voluntary association,
formed in 1866 to take over the New
Havens Massachusetts trolleys. 1t
now controls the greater part of the
street railway mileage in central and
western Massachusetts. outside of the
Berkshire Street Railway. which was
sold t. the New Haven in 1910 by au-
tho1ity of the Massachusetts Legisla-
ture.
The purchase was consumated
through the acquisition of the entire
common stock of the New England
Investment and Securities Co., OF
500. 00o, which alone has voting pow
er. About $4,000,000 preferred stock
of the investment company is owned
by the public and dividends of A per
cent. on the issue are guaranteed by
the New Haven Railroad, which also
guarantees $l05 per share in the event
of liquidation.
