Tribute to Old Friend

1t is told of Rev. Thomas Lavery,
the beloved pastor of the Roman
Catholic congregation of st. Stephen,
N. b., who died there last week, at
the age of SIS years, that while he was
in charge of the parish at st. George,
N. B., charge that he held for ID
years, he formed one of his most
cherished friendships, that of Rev.
Mr.. Lovers, the pastor of the Baptist
church there. Mr.. Lovers afterwards
came to Maine and passed away while
in charge of the Baptist church at
Midtown, and Father Lavery, then
stationed in st. Stephen, tolled the
bell of his church with his own hands
as the body of his old friend was
borne to it's last resting place.

Trout Biting

Trout Biting
The Ellsworth American says that
the fishermen have been bringing In
some fine strings from the neighbor-
ing ponds. The warm weather recent
ly has started the trout biting. Some
good strings were taken at Patten
pond during the week Green Lake
has furnished the best fishing of any
pond in this vicinity, or probably, in
the State, this spring. During the
past week from twenty-five to fifty
salmon have been taken daily. Oscar
Staples, of Ellsworth Falls and Rufus
II. Young, of Hancock, caught eleven
in the lower lake from Friday to Mon
day, ranging from three to eight
pounds. Another Ellsworth man
brought In from Green Lake three fish
weighing eight, seven and five pounds
respectively. Harold l.. Hooper was
one of the successful fishermen at
Branch pond, catching six-pound
salmon and fourspound trout.

mind of Frank A. Millett of Liver

some years ago. He was travelling

SENATORS WON'T HAVE HEARINGS
 ON TARIFF BILL
Believe Schedules AL ready Have Been
 Threshed Out
Expert Testimony and SD lI Information May Be SOu
 However

Washington, April 1o-The enste finance committee has determine 2ot to have hearings on the tariff oll. dustry have appealed to Chairman Simmons and other members of the committee for an opportunity to pre- sent arguments against the rates pro- posed in the Underwood bill The Senate committee members take the position, however, that these hearings conducted by the House Ways and Means committee in January were sufficiently thorough to cover practi- ca1ly all points the Senate needs to consider in connection with the tar if revision.
 It is believed now that the tariff bill, after it finally reaches the Sen ate, will not remain in the commit tee more than 10 days. Some expert upon certain disputed ideas may be secured by the committee but no open hearings will be held.
 Repu blican forces are preparing for united attack upon the Democratic revision on the ground that it not only destroys all protection to many American industries but that in many features it practically is free trade bill.
 It is expected that a. conference of Republicans will be held within a few days to discuss some of the more drastic features of the proposed Dem ocratic revision.
 House Democrats met to resume consideration of the tariff bill in caucus when the House adjourned The chemical schedule having been approved exactly as written by the Ways and Means committee, the earthen and glassware schedule was Considerable opposition to some of the cuts on pottery came from New Jersey and Pennsylvania members.
 Indications seem to be that the House Democratic caucus eventually will ratify the schedules as present. ed, including free raw wool and the 25 per cent cut in sugar with the pro- vision for its going on the free list in three years. Opposition forces, however, are preparing for strug- gle for a duty on raw wool and to eliminate the free sugar provision. The opponents of free wool are mak- ing the argument that the party went to the people in the last election committed to duty on raw wool as based on the wool schedule passed in Congress and vetoed by the Pres ident They declare that when the House agreed that duty of 20 per cent and later accepted 29 percent in conference it went on record before the public.
 Opponents of the textile schedules had a test vote in the caucus, yes terday, when they made an effort to put indigo on the free list. They were defeated by a vote of 112 to S3.
 Postmaster General Burleson, who was an early caller at the White House, told the President he favored tariff revision by separate bills.
