Rev. Or. Berry Of League
Opposes New Sunday Law.

When proposed amendment to Section
% of Chapter 125 of the Revised Statutes
relating to the observance of the Lord $
Day came up before the legal affairs com
rfittee for u hearing. Tuesday afternoon,
10 person appeared in favor of the meas
ure. ro, even Eesgles Higgins, who draft
cd the amendment two years ago.
= farge repre- aentation of the ministers
Of the State was in attendance and sever
of them spoke against the measure.
These were the Rev. Wilbur C. Berry,
u. D., of Waterville, secretary of the
Christian Civic League of Maine; Rev.
Langdon Qumby. ID. D., of the Congrega-
tional church in Gardiner; Rev. f. v.
Stanley of the Congregational church in
Hallowell and the Rev. I. +. Moore. ID.
D., of Waterville, secretary of the Maine
state Baptist convention
The attitude taken by these men that
the present law is sufficient and that in
its words giving exceptions of charity
and necessity the whole field of necessary
occupations and the sale of needed arti-
cles is covered. DIR. Berry declared that
the passage of such an amendment as
this would be foolish. He said there was
no need of any of the exceptions made in
the amendment. In speaking of news
papers, he declared that Monday papers
could be got out on Saturday just as
we'll as not. He admitted that if it were
thought necessary for man to have to-
bacco. he might get it on Sunday. but he
saw no reason why supply could not
be laid in on Saturday Just as provisions
are secured for the Sunday dinner.
The employers liability law was laid on
the table pending the receipt of another
bill which IT is said will be presented.
F. E. Timberlake of Portland appeared
TO request that hearings on all bills re-
Iating TO investment company regulation

Oil Co, over leases to Indian oil lands
granted by the deposed council 10 the
TFncle Sam Go. Secretary Fisher was
emphatic in his opposition 10 the
granting of the leases to the Uncle
Sam Co., and caustic in his criticisms
of the conduct of the company in pro-
curing the leases.
While the secretary was testifying
the United States district court. here.
dismissed an application for writ of
rnandamus that would force him to re-
instate the deposed officials Of the In
dian tribe. The court held that the
/ law conferred on the secretary the
power TO remove the tribal chiefs and
council for good cause.
Secretary Fisher set forth that he
objected 10 The Uncle Sam leases, be-
cause they gave the Indians a royalty
of one-eighth on the oil developed, in
stead of at least one-sixth which ne
believed them entitled to, and because.
under the leases, the entire tract OF
$50, 900 acres would go to the Uncle
Sam Co, whereas he favored the de-
veIopment by small holders.
In statement Mr.. Fisher said he
removed Bacon Rind," the principal
chief, the assistant chief and Tom
West, one OF the counciImen, because
the department held their confessions
that they had accepted brides in con-
nection with oil land leases in 1906.
The other members OF the council were
removed. he said, because a special
investigator found the conditions did
not. warrant their holding Office.

matters up for hearing, Tuesday aft

assigning the other. The first mat
ter taken up was that of granting
charter to the Sweetser orphan asy
lum of Saco, Representative Maybur
of Saco and j. H. Drummond of Port
land appearing in favor of the meas
ure. BY the will of the late Cornelius
Swetser of Saco some 100000 was
left to found an orphan asylum and
a charter is now asked so that the
asylum may be legally Incorporated
and the funds may be handled in a
proper manner. There was no opposi-
ton.
The act providing for the divorce of
the offices of recorder of the Ellsworth
municipal court and clerk of courts.
1t has been the custom for some time
To have these two offices combined
but an act has been introduced to
amend the law so the offices can be

IL had been thought best by the
friends of the act to lfare tile auditor

Representative Plummer made in
quiries of Treasurer Campbell, rela
tive TO the finances of the institution
under his charge. Mr.. Campbell re-
ferred TO and explained the statements
of the annual report
Senator Plummer inquired as to
what payments were being made by
towns and cities for support of pa
tients and the reply was: That the
general tendency. in the last two
years, was TO throw the burden on
the State. Treasurer Campbell ex-
planned that at present, he had from
IFS TO 200 patients on the rolls who
We're supported, either wholly or in
part, by their own funds or by rela-
tives and friends. The laws of con-
sanquinity provides for such support
of patients. This list of paying pa
tients is being lessened every year,
because of the impression that the
State has assumed the entire burden
of expense.
representative Plummer asked what
rates were charged self supporting
patients The answer by Treasurer
Campbell WAS From $500 to 81 90.
Mrs. Cony further explained that
some of the patients. or, for them.
their relatives or friends. paid as their
means enabled them, from s1.00 up

patients support. Mrs. Cony endorsed
the statement previously made, that
more and more, the practice is to bur-
den the State with the support of
patients.
Trustee White referred to cases

were able to pay. One case cited was
/ that of a daughter. who as later learn
ed to possess 5000 and who had a
$500 government salary. In this case
the seieetmen of the town whence the
girl came had reported on the in
ability of the patient to pay.

tendenee over all commitments to the

as If a Joint committee from the house
and senate could be appointed to con-
fer with the railroad commissioners.
with view of bringing sufficient
pressure to bear. on the management
of the road, demanding arbitration
and the restoring of the. service at the
earliest possible date.
1t so happens the county is very
fortunate in having such able repre-
sentatives in the general court at this
time, and we think that meeting
should be called at once to measure
up the situation and decide on some
remedy.
We could not have q better repre-
sentative in the senate in the present
crisis than MIR. Burleigh. the former.
president of the road, who, together
with such men as yourself, Judge
Smith, Mr. Hersey, and Mr.. Milliken,
are thoroughly conversant with the
general situation, and in a position to
set any machinery quickly at work that
can be used.
At all events. the situation is so very,
very serious that something must be
done at the earliest possible moment
to relieve the conditions that confront
us, and we are sending you day let
ter so that YOU may have prompt in
formation at hand to use as you find
necessary.
Please keep us thoroughly advised
OF the situation as you find it, after
taking the matter up with the other
county members and let us all work
together to save a tremendous loss to
the county. which threatens at this
time.
