SOME OBJECTION.
Southeastern Hancock County Towns
Want State Highway.

Southeastern Hancock County Towns
Want State Highway.
There Is likely to be some objection TO
the proposed route of State highway n.
from Ellsworth through Washington
coanty to Passport and Calais. Residents
of towns in the utheastern corner OF
Hancock county and the southwestern
corner Of Washington county want the
road TO follow the shore route instead OF
going through the Cherryheld woods to
Cherryheld.
AS tentatively designated by the State
highway commission, this highway will
begin at Ellsworth and run via Washing
ton junction and Franklin Road station,
through Egypt and West Franklin into
the town OF Franklin, crossing the rail-
road at Franklin station. The route then
continues through townships and 10
into Cherryfieid, thence to Harrington,
Columbia Falls, Joneshoro, Whifneyviile.
Mschias, East Mschias, Marion, Dennys-
VILE, Pembroke, Robbinston to Calais. In
addition it is planned 20 run spur route
from Robbinston through Perry TO East
port.
The hearing on this proposed highway
will be held at the courthouse In Mscbias
next Friday, at $50 O'Clock
Opposition to the proposed route will
come from the people OF Miibrsdge, steu-
ben, Gouidsboro, Sullivan, Winter Har-
Dor, Sorrento and Hancock, who want
the highway, instead of going through
the woods from Franklin to Cherryheid,
to run via Wsukeag, the West Sullivan
ferry, Sullivan, Gonldsboro, and Mil
bridge to Harrington.
Those advocating the shore route, urge
that while the road would be but few
miles longer, it would serve a much
greater number Of people. The hearing at
Machias is likely to prove interesting

calities in the parcels post zones. In
every instance the parcels post de-
livery reached its destination first.

speed of delivery and the condition
of the packages on receipt.
A parcel was mailed at the parcels
post window by a person unknown to
the officials and was delivered in
Milwaukee eight hours later. \
package sent. by express to the same

"a hours. The parcels post charged
10 cents and the express company 25

ACTOR GOES To JAIL
IN AIIMONY CASE
Theodore Roberts Refuses TO Pay
Out of His Salary of S75.

New York, Jan. 4.-Theodore
Roberts. an actor, who has been play
ing the ghost in Hamlet" began a
six months sojourn in Sheriff Har-
burgers alimony retreat in Ludlow
street yesterday because he refused
to make the ghost walk for Mrs. Lucy
Roberts, who won a legal separation
from the actor, with alimony at the
rate of $50 week.
Since the trial of the action Rob-
erts has refused to pay his wife ALI
mony, his plea being that he is max
ing only SIS week and that he can
not afford to submit to the court S
directions. During Christmas week
Mrs. Roberts asked Justice Page to
put her husband in Jail for his con-
tempt of the courts directions.
Roberts surrendered himself yes
terday. A stay of six months will
wash Actor Roberts clean of alimony
responsibilities, and it is said he is
prepared for long stay unless his
wife consents to the reduction of the
alimony awarded by the court.

HAWIIEY BLOCKS PLAN
OF INAUGURAL BALL IN
THE PENSION BUILDING

Washington, Jan. 4.-Congressman
Hawley has refused to give his aid to
the local inauguration committee to
get the use of the pension building
for the inaugural ball.
"In the first place." he said at will
cause a suspension of work in the PEN
sion bureau for 10 or IL days. AS the
bureau is now working on claims of
May 81, which is exactly the date that
the first oregon claims under the new
law reached the bureau, l am desir-
Gus to see the work proceed as fast
as possible. In the second place, I'm
doubtful of the propriety of the gov
ernment lending a building for private
enterprise to hold a ball at which an
admission price will be exacted of So
and $40. AS DR.. Wilson has urged
that the Inauguration ceremonies be
simple, it would not hurt his feelings
at all to deny this request"
There is some talk of holding the
ball in the capitol building, making
use of the rotunda, senate and house
chambers, and the corridors.

TO CURB INTERSTATE BODY
State Railway Commissioners
Oppose Enlarging Powers.

Washington. oct. 30.-Another deter
mined effort late to-day 10 have the
states rights" resolution adopted by the
National Association of Railway Commits
sioners resulted in the passage OF a sub
stitute. offered by Commissioner Eshle-
man. of California, which declared it the
sense Of this association that no legisla-
ton by Congress is at this time necessary
or desirable attempting to enlarge the
jurisdiction of the Interstate Commerce
Commission over commerce purely mira
state"
The vote was unanimous after spirited
debate which started when the convention
again took up the states rights resolu-
ton introduced yesterday by Commission
or Finn. of Kentucky, and tabled by vote
of 20 Ia 10 This would have asserted the
right of the states TO exercise their con-
stitutional authority over intrastate com
merce without hindrance from the federal
government
Those who favored the original resolu-
ton contended that a concerted effort
was being made to denude the state COM
missions of rate making authority, and TO
centralize such powers in the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
After practically an all day discussion
of the many phases of the physical valu-
alton proposition the exhaustive report on
the subject from Commissioner Maltbie's
committee was ordered printed

no considerable confusion before the sys-
TEN operates smoothly.
Thus far the department officials nave

tons covering particular cases. II Is rec
oanized that supplemental regulations
will be necessary and these will be an
nounced soon The regulations covering
the collection of the income tax from In
diyiduals will be issued tomorrow.
No complaints from banks over the bur
den imposed by the regulations have been
received at the Treasury Department.
The reported refusal OF Chicago banks TO
accept coupons has not been called to the
attention OF the Treasury Department Of
iicials. ". H. Osborn. Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue, does not believe that
the banks will attempt TO hamper the
collection Of the tax.
