PANNBROKERS SECURE
! 0. K. OF GOVERNMENT
Right to Conduct Business
Across Potomac Officially
Recognized.

The War Department has just passed
on an Interesting question In connection
with the operation of the statute recently
passed by Congress limiting the amount
of interest which legally may be charged
by loan brokers, pawnbrokers ETC.. in the
District of Columbia.
Crandal Mackey, attorney for the COM
monwealth of Alexandria county, Va. re-
Gently applied to the War Department in
behalf of two District pawnbrokers for
permission to place a board platform on
the west side of the Virginia approach to
the Highway bridge over the Potomac
river, in order to give access TO and
egress from their property. Mr.. Mackey
said the two merchants had purcha sed
land in Virginia at the point indicated
and had erected buildings thereon.
Embankment Fifteen Feet High.
The bridge embankment is about fifteen
feet high. says Mr.. Mackey, and slopes
toward the buildings at an angle OF 45
degrees 1t was desired, he explained. to
build platform on a level with the rail-
road tracks In order to make connection
with the buildings.
Col Cosby; the engineer officer in
charge of public buildings and grounds,
TO whom the application was referred
reported that the only way that the
buildings In question can be reached
conveniently is from the bridge en-
bankment in the manner suggested On
the assumption that the application can
not be denied on the ground of the
character of the business of the appli-
cants. Col. Cosby recommended that it
be granted. He believed that unless the
platform is built, the embankments
would be damaged by people climbing
UP and down them, with consequence
danger of accidents. especially to people
alighting from the street cars. Col.
Cosby SAID IT was understood tnat the
territory in order TO evade the District
statute limiting rates of interest on
loans

FIVE MILLION DESCENDANTS.
All from One Coffee Plant in Sixteen
Years.

An extraordinary instance Of the
complete change which the interfcr-
ence of man is able to effect In tlhs
productions of a country is furnished
by the history of certain coffee plan-
tations in Central Africa.
Some time ago small coffee plant
was sent from the Botanical Qardena
in Edinburgh TO Blantyre In Nyassa.
From this single plant in the course
of sixteen years about 100000 COFFEE
plants have been derived, and the SOL
is so we'll adapted to their nourish-
ment that they have become the main
source of the prosperity of the Brit
ish settlements in that country. /. Yet

coffee plant was unknown there's

which this convention, with all its
| great powers has no control. The
health officer of the city of Rockland
| has absolute control of that situation
Our position in the case is simply as
stated in the motion. that under the
Constitution of this State, these pro-
ceedings must be carried on at such
a time and in such way that the
party accused may appear in his own
behalf and in no other way under the
Constitution. Notice shall be given,
the Constitution says, that he may APP
pear. and that assumes notice in point
of time so that the respondent could
appear. 1t assumes on the face of it
that if any physical impossiblity. as
to distance or anything of that sort
kept the respondent from appearing,
| that convention such as this would
have no power to act.
Conditions are such that Mr.. Tolman
cannot be here and won't be here. Tn
der those circumstances no counsel who
had amy respect for himself would sit
here ana try the case in mis- absence

should decide to So ahead and try Mr..
Tolnan after it has learned through
sworn evidence that he is under q law
Of the state, practically under arrest
and unable to be here. that would be
nothing that We could help Under
those circumstances Of course, coun-
sci would simply withdraw and per-
nit the state to put in its case in its
absence, assuming that Il convention
made up of two houses of the Maine
Legislature should decide TO try the
case in that way.
Mr. DU NTON of Belfast: Mr.. Speak
Fer, / would like to inquire of the Chair
what action could be taken for n con-
tiauanee. if the two bodies SO desire.
The SPEAKER: The Chair under
stands that the only motion that can be
entertained would be to take recess
for the purpose of having the two
houses meet separately and make any
change that they may see fit to make

now hinGing, of course, upon the con-
tention. until changed, and upon the
presiding officers.
ATTORNEY GENERAL WILSON:

Speaker. that of course the counsel for
this side are not in any way insisting
upon going ahead with this proceed
ing in the absence of Mr.. Tolman. We
had no option but to prepare the case
and present it in it's order. Of course,
we do not wish the convention 10 I'M
derstand that we arc insisting upon

The SPEAKER: Doubtless the con-
vention understands that the attorney

also offered this amendment for the pur,
the sale of liquors containing not over
per cent. oil alcohol; also for the purpose
of providing a punishment or penalty fol
! the sale of any liquors even containing
less than per cent. of alcohol except
as provided in this bill.
IL | have made myself clear YOU
will understand the purposes of the
bill. 1t seems to me at this time aft
er we have listened here for the last
several days to the testimony which
we have heard in relation to the sale
of liquors in a few of the counties
OF the State, and with the prospect
that from several other counties we
shall listen to similar tale, it is about
time that the people of the State of
Maine sat up and took notice of some
thing beside the idea that in places
where liquors are wanted. where Ger
tain liquors are wanted, that you can
make any kind of a law that will be
enforced for any continuous length of
time that is not in accordance with
the general spirit or the general idea
of the community. Y ~
1t seems to me, Mr.. Speaker and
gentlemen, and it is my idea that the
proper place to draw the line between
Intoxicating liquors and non-intoxi-
eating liquors, is not SO much of itself
as to their effect-and it is probably
true that any percentage of alcohol,
even so low as three per cent. as has
been ruled by the court to be within
the 1aw--it is probably true that a
sufficient quantity of that liquor would
intoxicate most anybody. But as say.
the proper place to draw the line be-
tween Intoxicating and -intoxicaf-
ing liquors is at the point where men
pose of intoXication.
/ submit that while it is true that
men in this State and in other states
may occasionally get highly, or even
considerably intoxicated by
the use of ales and beers containing
about five per cent. of alcohol, il is
also true that hardly anybody. or YOU
might say nobody who wishes to get
ever bothers very much
with these malt liquors when they
can get the distilled spirits. 1t is
probably true that q large percentage
of the people of Maine drink more or
less of liquors, and probably largely
beer. AS far as the evidence which
We have heard was concerned 1t APP
peared that the people of Portland
and the surrounding towns must have
drank on an average about a. gallon
of beer and ale per capita since the
first day of January. according to the
figureS which were shown here by the
agent of the Boston Il Maine Railroad.
The bulk of that liquor was not drank
because people wanted to get drunk;
the bulk of it was drank because peo-
pie liked what most of them term a
glass. and also with the
idea in mind of good fellowship, same
as perhaps many of lis go to SODA
fountain or eat ice cream. or even sit
down to banquet, or something oil
that kind: but very little of it was
drank with the direct idea in mind
that intoxication would ensue.

Most people like large rooms; but
large rooms call for a large house.

IN as many rooms as possible, they are

house an air of old-fashioned comfort
that is quite luxurious.
Luxury mean in many cases some

the advance in prices of labor, wages
