giving facts and circumstances with
the greatest detail and accuracy" SAYS

ing officials as making easier the task
of securing necessary eorroborative
evidence against men higher up in
the trust

tiles, has confessed to setting more
than 50 fires, told the district attor
ney that the vicinity of a fire engine
house was preferred as the location
of a fire, Mr.. Weller's statement said
as when no alarm was turned in 1t
took longer for information about the
fire to get to the fire marshars office.

On the Mexican Central Line.

Ell Paso, Texas. Jan. 19.-After
burning many bridges on both rail-
roads between Juarez and Chihuahua
City, the rebels have permitted the

enables them to use the wires for their
own purposes and at the same time
hear all that is transmitted by the
federals No attempt has been made
TO repair either road.
Apprehension again is felt at Juarez
protected by less than 800 federal
troops and practically no artillery. BY
cutting the Mexican Central Railway
the rebels left the two military trains
far to the south as well as one hum
bred troops acting as escort for pas
senger train. The missing passenger
train of last Wednesday arrived safe
ly, today, at chihuahua City.
The rebel general, Inez Salazar, is
on the Mexican Central line midway
between Chihuahua and Juarez, says
a rebel courier who arrived here, to-
day. It was said that Salazar has
more than 1000 men. while other
groups are operating along the Mexi-
can Northwestern Railway to the
west.

Wilson READING Guidebook.

Princeton. N. j., Jan. 19-President-
elect Wilson disclosed, today, the fact
that he has obtained a guide book OF
Washington and is reading it assiduously
in his spare moments.
Mr.. Wilson will be practically a
stranger in Washington when he takes
office. He has visited there but little
since his youth. He has never seen some
of the government buildings erected with.
in the last 10 years. When he steps into
the White House on March A. 1t will bt
the first time he will have seen the int
rior of the executive mansion.
The Governor is familiarizing himself
with the location of the various building.
and though he is anticipating little leis
ure, it is likely that his late Afternoon
walks will be sightseeing trips.

great responsibility on his hands. AM
bition may be blind but incidents have
accrued sufficient to provide marvel
Gus incandescence and few have the
idea that the man who once battled
William r. Pattangall to a standstill
will allow the personal equation to in
fuence him greatly.
The Postmaster Fight.
Mr.. Wheeler Thursday, stated, in
effect, that he would continue his fight
against the three Republican postmas-
ters until corrected by higher
authority. The evidence coming be-
fore the public in the past three days
will prove Mr.. Wheelers test. Former
Chief Justice Emery and Professor
Little of Bowdoin college. two of the
ablest men in Maine, have rendered
their opinions toward one conclusion
that "post-ofTicers, specified in the
State Constitution, were none other
than handlers of the mails.
Public Utilities.
The Progressives have another OPP
portunity over the public utilities
measures introduced-one from the last
Legislature, sponsored by Mr.. Wheeler,
and a new one presented to the
Senate by Ira G., Hersey Of Aroostook.
Mr. Hersey has acceded to Mr.. Wheel
er's wishes to the extent of giving
up the idea of a joint special commit
tee to handle this question, considered
the most important of the session.
But Mr. Hersey has offered mild criti-
cism of the Wheeler measure. Wheth-
er justified or MOI remains to be seen.
1t is, from any viewpoint, an open
chance to so tangle the issue as to ad-
nit of no decisive action, before final
adjournment. The third party has the
situation in its absolute power. Mr.
Wheeler is on the stand with the peo-
pie of Maine watching him. He is a
comparatively young man, and there
it too much to be considered, even
from a personal attitude, to permit OF
narrow opposition or aggressive tactics
BY the provisions of either public
utilities measure all public utilities viii
come under the supervision and con-
troll of a commission. Much is meant
to the people of Maine by satisfactory
enactment.
