| just want to add one more word,
, Mr. Speaker, in regard to the sug-
geStions of the gentleman from West
brook that it came out in the hear
ing before the committee that in the
last year or two that the town of
Readfield had begun to put out some
money on that road. | desire to re-
mind that gentleman from WestbroolS
(Mr. Scatcs) that if he had remained
at that committee hearing until the
hearing was finished he would have
found out that six years ago we com
menced to put out money on that
road, and that nearly 5000 was ex-
pended that year. But that is not the
question before the House. | sim
ply ask for a matter of extension of
one week
Mr.. BUTLER of Pennington: Mr..
Speaker, this road question has been
before the House before, and it seems
to me that the time has arrived when
roads of this nature should be opened
to all kinds of travel At the present
time the amount of travel by auto
mobile is equal to that of other con-
veyances in the State of Maine: AMI
whether the State makes an appro-
priation for the repair of this road or
not, 1t seems To me that at this time
1t should be made passable for auto
mobiles. In my own town which
comes on this same line of travel
from Franklin county through to Ken
nebec we have a section of road the
last half mile in our town which for
four weeks in every year was practi-
cally impossible to automobiles and
all other teams, and while il was but
little used by our own people we felt
that there was duty which we owed
to the public, and in 1910 and 1911 we
expended on that section of road
$500; and it seems TO me that
whether the State makes this appro-
priation or not, this section of road
should be opened up to the public.
and that town owes something to
the general travel as it goes through

Battleship Resoues Passengers

London, Nov. 19.--The British battle
ship Iron Duke effected a timely rescue OF
the thirty passengers and crew OF the
steamer Scotsdyke while the steamer was
burning in the English Channel early to-
day.
The steamer. bound from Mediterranean
ports for Sunderland, caught fire off the
Isle OF Wight shortly after midnight. The
blaze started in a deck cargo OF grass
and spread so rapidly through this in
fiammable material that the crew was
unable to stay its progress and 1t at

ber Of lfeboats. Owing to the heavy sea
II was impossible 10 launch the few life
boats remaining. The panic-stricken pas
sengers and the crew were forced to re-
tire to the stern OF the steamer.
The battleship Iron Duke was fortu-
nately carrying out trials in the Channel
during the night, and when the burning
steamer was sighted sailors from the
warship put off in boats to the rescue.
The fore part of the steamer was a ma IS
Of flames when the boats reached the
scene and the helpless persons aboard
were huddled together aft. The Iron
Duke played her searchlights upon the
stern of the doomed ship while the rescue
crew took all hands safely off.
