intimated that he would make things
warm for the young man IL he ascer-
tanned that he was responsible for the
filing Of the marriage intentions.
Cox left his home at 614 G street
early today. His mind was changed
about the wedding, according to his sis

PoINcARE's VISIT TO ENGLAND.

President Poincare has emphasized the relations
Of close political friendship between England and
France by his visit to London in state. II is not
going far aield to believe that his trip has also
served the purpose of pointing out to the eyes Of
Europe that King Georges recent visit to Berlin
on the occasion of the marriage of the Kaisers only
daughter personal compliment-or at least
that it did not herald any weakening of the Franco
English understanding.
In view of the fact that the Gar, too, accepted
the invitation to Berlin, it is hard to escape the
latter surmise The world must be kept Informed
that while the cause of peace may be helped by
social amenities, the Triple Entente holds. With
the Balkan situation on the hands of the powers,
any weakening of the present alignments would
amount to undoing the vital work that has been
done.
Each power fears for itself but keeps bold front
through self-interest Germany, with serious hnan-
cial difficulties at home advertises the fact that she
is still able to spend millions in enlarging her mill
tary establishment. France extends the term Of
army enlistment from two years to three despite So
cialistic riots
With the situation strained in this manner, il
must be admitted that Europe is doing pretty well
to keep its head.

BLAME M'REYNOLDS
IN ANOTHER ACTION
Republican Foes Of Attorney
General Say Oklahoma Case
Should Be Pushed.

Republicans cunning for Attorney
General McReynolds cited another post
ponement case today In their attacks
on the Department Of Justice. The new
case is that Of Frank Quinn and J. j.
Beal versus the United States. The
plaintiffs are Oklahoma colored men
and they are fighting the grandfather
clause" Of the Oklahoma State consti-
tuition.
The case was due to come up on ap-
peal before the United States Supreme
Court April Z. following requaset OF
former Solicitor General Bullitt that the
case be expedited on account OF its i'm
portance. On the day set representa-
tive of the Attorney General appeared
before the court and urged that 1t so
over until the fall term. This means.
It Is agreed that 1t will be spring at
least before the case Is heard.
The Department of Justice has an
alibi to, this extent: There is now no
Solicitor General to argue cases Of the
United States before the Supreme
Court. But. the Republican critics OF
the Administration point out Mr.: NC NC
nation knowing that no man had been
determined upon to take his place and
that the responsibility IL therefore on
Mr.. McReynolds. Republicans attack
ing the Attorney General say that the
real reason for delaying the Grand
father clause" fight is that Oklahoma
Democrats desired II delayed and that
political expediency is the only reason
It hes been permitted to go over.
A subcommittee of the House Ju-
dietary Committee is studying the files
of the Department of Justice In the
Caminettf- -Diggs and Western Fuel
Company cases today to determine
which papers shall be reported to the
House and which withheld. Part Of the
records, II is agreed, relate to details
of the evidence, and would be prejudi-
cial to the prosecution II made public.
All Of the papers relating to the con-
tinuance of the cases will be made pub
lie, II Is announced.
Says He Showed Record.
According to Attorney General Nc
Reynolds all this part Of the corre-
spondence has already been made pub
lie. and opponents of his course will
find nothing more on which to base at
tacks than they already have had.
The subcommittee will report to the
full committee Thursday morning at II
o'clock, and the Judiciary Committee
will report in turn to the House.
While that report undoubtedly will be
the signal for fresh attacks on the
course Of the Attorney General and the
Secretary of Labor, their friends said
today that these attacks will only be
the old ones renewed.

prints the following:
While making preparations at the
local railroad station for the shipment
cc his baggage to Colorado Springs,
the later part of the week, Governor

morning, and sustained painful inJu-
ries 20 his left arm and back.
The Governor was jammed in be-
tween the baggage car of the train and
loaded baggage truck on the sta
ton platform The baggage on the
truck gave way sufficiently to prevent
more serious consequences and the
few train and station officials who wit
messed the accident We're terrified by
what they believed meant certain
death for the Governor"
Although it WAS known that Gov
ernor Hanes was in Portland. Mon
day. where the dispatch says he
sought surgical attendance" it did not
become known that he was in anyway
rjured as the result of the referred to

Changes in Highway Office.

Paul u. Sargent, chief engineer of
the Highway Commission. has begun
housekeeping in the office that Will
tend to eliminate the crowded condition
of the offices, Thursday, the meeting
day of the commission.
Before, persons wishing to be heard
before the commission, or to file COM
plants or ask State aid, have been al
lowed to roam about the big main office
at random. asking questions, and more
or less interfering with the work of the
clerks.
The filing cases have been moved to
the west part of the room, leaving
space between them and the wall, max
ing sort of room, separate from the
main office This will be used as a
waiting room for those persons having
business with Mr.. Sargent or the COM
mission. Here they will wait their turn
without in anyway hindering the work
inss of the office. An iron rail will be
put up, to further separate strangers
from the office force.
Another renovation is the clearing
of a little office, at the north end OF
the room. which has been used as a
Fart of the general office and which
will now he used as a private office for

State Hortieulturist A. X. Gardner
and his assistant, H. p. Sweetser, have
returned to the State House from an
inspecting trip about the orchards that
are trying for the Gregory prize This
prize is a total of $500. $500 from the
Gregory bond and $500 from other
sources and is to be given every five
years, divided up into first, second and
third prizes.
One hundred and seyenty-five orch
ards are contesting for the prizes and
some OF the best apple orchards in the
State have been turned out by the care
taken of them in this instance. Every
county in the State is represented eX-
cent Aroostook county. In general all
the orchards are doing pretty well ana
the owners are taking extra pfecau-
tons for next season.
Browntails were found in some
cases and were very numerous in some
orchards. in particular those with a
fourth seasons growth. 1t was estl-
mated that in the vicinity of 15,00o
egg clusters were found on 40 trees

which when Matched would amount to

was bearing fruit, and this to the

maturity.
