Johanna Adams.
Unless the physicians of the city
comply with the states laws requir-
ing the reporting of typhoid and tu-
berculosis cases, Sanitary Sergeant
Ramsey may place the matter before
DR. Crumbine, secretary of the state
board of health. More drastic ac-
ton might be taken, but Mr. Ramsey
believes that a word from the state
board of health might be sufficient,
as the physicians are very careful to
comply with the requirements of the
law in reporting of other diseases es-
pecially those requiring quarantine.
That doctors fail to report tubercu-
losiS and typhoid is in a large meas
ure due to the fact that victims of
these diseases are not required to be
quarantined.
The Edison company is installing

buildings in the city are heated by
the Edison company. But that the
company by its franchise has the
right to install the meters is indicated
by the following section in the fran
chise ordinance specifying rates to be
charged and methods of measurement
of the service given: For steam heat
ing purposes, SO cents per thousand
pounds of water condensed from dry
steam, the consumer to furnish a

The Presidents Message.


President Wilson's first annual mes
sage to Congress was read by him at a
joint session yesterday. 1t is re-
markable for hrevity, the President
contenting himself by referring briefly
to matters which he considers of
greatest public import, and refer
ring Congress to department reports
for details.
The President touched but briefly
upon the Mexican problem, that SUBJ
jeet being dismissed with the predic-
ton OF the early crnmbling OF the
Huerta government, and the state
ment that be believes this country
will not be obliged to alter it's policy
OF watchful waiting. In this connee-
ton, the news reports this morning
that the backbone of the Huerta
dictatorship is broken, the govern
ment bankrupt and unable to pay its
soldiers, and terms of surrender pro-
posed, seems to bear out the Presi-
dents expeetations.I
The most radical suggestion con-
tanned in the message is that favor
ing the nomination OF candidates for
President by direct primary. This
legislation, he suggests, should pro-
vide for the retention of party con-
ventions, but only for the purpose oil
declaring and accepting the verdict
of the primaries and formulating
party platforms.
He urges the early enactment oil
the currency bill, recommends more
explicit legislation for the enforce
ment of the antitrust law, urges
an employers liability act, and
touches briefly on ultimate self
government for the Philippines and
the development of Alaska.

Mrs. Winfred Pinkham, OF East Steu-

and in his absence she lives alone. She
was lame, and never went far from home.
When the groceryman called Tuesday

house, and talked and laughed, seeming
in good spirits. AT noon a neighbor
found on the door note reading simply:
81 am gone.n In the home was another
note reading: "Have gone on my visit.
Have a free pass aud am going right

daily expected home, put down ell the
grain she had for the fowl, locked the

nothing was missing but a calico wrapper
and underclothing, not even her hat.

Gardiner, the only Maine city TO
adopt the commission form of govern
ment, under which it has been con-
Quoting municipal affairs for the past
two years, has voted to go hack to
the old form of government. The
vote against the continuance of the
commission form of government was
517 to 435. The vote is too close to be
construed as evidence that the COM
mission form is failure. but it must
be admitted as evidence that a
majority of the voters are not con-
WINGED that 1t is better than the old
system. IL is significant that the city
proper gave slight majority in favor
of commission government, while the
annexed district of South Gardiner
overcame this by majority of
ninety two against.
