PRES. TAFTS NOMINATIONS
Still Held Up by Democrats, Who
Block Moves of Republicans.

Washington, Jan. 29.-The second
skirmish between Republicans and
Democrats in the Senate over Pres
ident Taft's appointments resulted. to-
day, in defeat of the Republicans. AS
u result the Republicans leaders had
less confidence, tonight, in their abil-
ity TO break up the Democratic oppo-
sition and to force action upon some
of the hundreds of pending appoint
ments.
A motion for an executive session,
made early in the day, by Senator Gull
lom, was lost on n tie vote. 81 to 81.
The Democrats drew to their aid Bris-
tow and La Toilette Rep, and Poin :
dexter, Progressive. After thorough
canvass Of the Senate later, Republic
can leaders could See little chance of
breaking this deadlock, as absent
members were equally divided between
the two parties.
1t is expected that another effort
will be made, Friday, by the Repuh-
lieans to take up consideration of the
Taft appointments. The Democratic
forces are prepared to continue the fill
ibuster, even should the Republicans
secure enough votes to force the SEN
ate into executive session

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION.
Page Bill, Carrying $4,000, 900, Passes
Senate-Goes to House.

Washington, Jan. 29.-The Page vo-
cational education bill, authorizing
maximum appropriations of over sf4. :
100000 for agricultural and trade edu-
eational work. was adopted by the
Senate, today, as substitute for the
Iever-Smith bill, which has passed the
House. A fight extending over many
days, in which both sides of the Senate
had been divided. ended with an
amendment by Page, Vt, to substitute
his original for the Levy bill being
carried by a vote of 81 to 80.
The measure then passed the Senate
and will go to the House and ulti-
mately into a conference committee
The original House bill appropriated
the sum of approximately SO. 500 900 for
the establishment of extension depart
ments in the state agricultural col
ieges, through which instruction in
agriculture and home economies would
be carried into the homes of the farm
ers. The Page bill would establish
eourese of instruction in trades and
Industries, home economics and agri-
culture IN the various public schools
OF secondary grades provide for state
aSflcltural schools, testing and plant
breeding stations, the education of
teachers and general extension work.
Senators Page and Hoke Smith be-
came involved in sharp controversy
during the debate, Page intimatine'
that Smith had given assurances that
he would support Pages bill in revisel-
form. This Smith denied. Page final
~ Withdrew an amendment form of
mis- bill, which included practically all
OF the House bill and the Senate
adopted the original Page bill 1t is
believed that as "a result of the action
OF the Senate, today, the agricultural.
education measure may remain in con-
troVersy between the two Houses
when the present session ends.

IL. m. Sewall's Fight
For Lovers Retreat
Under the New Law,

Lovers Retreat, a beautiful drive
through heavy growths of old spruce
and pines near the shore of the New
Meadows, near Bath, again springs
into prominence because of a re-
straining order of Justice Spear of
the supreme court against the cutting
down or destruction and removal of
the stretch of forest that continues
along the drive from the section al
ready possessed by, the city of Bath
Tor the purposes of a public park. The
restraining order was granted, Tues
day, TO City Forester Harold Nj. Sew
all OF Bath, on petition of the Gene
terry and Park Board, acting for the
city of Bath, for the purpose of pre-
venting the ruin of the drive, which
Is endeared to many generations OF
Bath people, by the incoming of por-
table mill, owned by New Hampshire
limbermen, who proposed to cut down
the trees.
The plan of Former Senator SeWail
and OF the city of Bath is TO seize,
under act Of eminent domain, at least
az the forest growth to depth OF AZ
feet on each side of the main road
in that locality, which is not already
in possession of the city of Bath and
therefore pay a reasonable sum to the
owners of the trees. This public action

the new law of the state, which was
placed upon the Statutes for precisely
this end.

And Not Persecution Of
Gen. Daniel SiCkIeS.
Atty. Gen. CaTnnody Replies TO
Mrs. Longstreet's Telegram.
He Appreciates Her Sympathetic.
plores the Act OF the General.

| Albany, y Y, Jan. 29.-The fame OF
Gen. Daniel E. Sicllles as a soldier
should not deter New York state in
its efforts to have restored to its
treasury the $2S,476 unaccounted for
by the general as chairman of the
New York Monuments Commission.
This is the view advanced by Attor-
ney General Carmody in Il letter, to-
day, to Mrs. Helen d. Longstreet of
Gainesville, Ga. widow of the Confed-
crate general. who was Gen. Sickles'
foe at Gettysburg.
In Il telegram To Attorney General
Carmody, Mrs. Longstreet offered to
raise $23,476 from The ragged and
MANNED followers of Lee. To Cen
eral Siekles Mrs. Longstreet wired:
The republic whose battles you
fought will not permit your degreda
ton"
Attorney General carmody,s letter,
in part, follows:
Il have read with much interest your
telegram in reference to the order of
arrest in the case of General Sickles.
Your sympathetic and patriotic eX-
pressions do justice to your heart, but
they do violence to the facts in this
case. General Siekles is being prose-
euted by the state of New York for
converting to his own use the sum of
s23,476. This money came into his
hands as chairman of the State Mon
uments Commission, to be used.
among other purposes. for the erec-
ton of monuments to mark the rest
ing places on the field of Gettysburg
of the brave soldiers, who fell in de-
fence of their country and to provide
for celebration upon the field o.
Gettysburg in which those living
might participate, at the states ex-
pense, in fitting manner
General Siekles appropriated this
amount To his own use. This he has
not attempted to justify or to defend,
without authority of law, an act
which, under our laws, and under the
laws of all civilized governments,
means stealing. He was given his owr
time to repay this amount, and that
time was extended at his suggestion
without any desire to embarrass him
and with the full appreciation of the
claim, which he has upon this nation
for the great services he rendered in
the rebellion. These services cannot
be over estimated, but even the fame
Of the soldier must not be used as 4
cloak or protection for the commission
OF crime and it is nothing less than
nlsdirected sympathy to undertake II
so confuse the questions involved as
to make an ordinary prosecution for q
crime seem like persecution and to
elevate as martyr a person who con-
fesses his dereliction
New York state appreciates her
heroes and feels Inundated at the
spectacle which this case presents.
New York state also respects her laws
and seeks to enforce them in a spirit
of equality to all.
4 trust this brief statement of the
facts will show you how erroneous
nave been your views, how misplaced
your sympathy and how misdireetea
Your criticism,
Gov. Sulzer, tonight, said he had
received scores of letters from old SOL
diers urging him ITO prevent the hu-
initiation of Gen. Sickles by incarcera-
tion.'
