Aroostook County Pomona.

The next meeting of AroostopS
County Pomona Grange will be held
with the Grange in Ashland on Satuf-
day, July II. This will undoubtedly
prove an interesting session as the
question of an experiment seed farm
for Aroostook will come up for dis
cussion. The committee appointed
by the last legislature to select, puf-
chase and equip such farm VIII
meet in Pressure Isle, at the Pressure
Isle House on Wednesday, July 16, at
1890 in the forenoon. Just what VIII
be the outcome of the meeting Is
problematical. The legislature only
appropriated $4,000 with which TO
purchase this farm, placing the COM
mittee under a big handicap. as no
farm of any size suitable for the pur-
poses intended, can be purchased for
less than twice that sum. and this
does not take into consideration the
equippng of the place. There are good
farms, admirably situated and es-
peeially adapted for potato raising In
nearly all the towns of the county,
but for adaptability of soil, central
ness of location, and, price considered,
no town can offer better inducements
10 the committee than Caribou.

FOR A POLICE WOMAN.
Qualifications of Ten to Be Appointed
In Chicago.

Chicago, July 9.-It is the opinion of
prominent local Suffragists that po-
lice woman-MayOr Harrison has asked
that 10 of them be appointed-should
have the following qualifications:
She must be strong.
She must have nerve.
She must have had experience In so
eial service.
She must understand young people.
She must have common sense.
She must have ideals.
The demand for corps of police wo-
men created not a little excitement
among the many thousands of new wo-
men voters, yesterday. Suffragists were
keen in their discussion of what uni
form the proposed addition to the po-
lice force should be. The more mill
tant believed they should carry reyol-
vers, but none took kindly to the idea
Of a police woman swinging club.
Mrs Gertrude Howe Britton of the Jul
Venile Protective League. who was
chiefly influential in persuadin2 the
mayor that Chicago needs police wo-
men, asserted that the female officers
should not be armed but should make
their way with wcmen's weapons, the
chief of which is just common sense.

field not far off shore, and many of
the weatherwise shippers predicted
that the morning would bring fog and
that the fleet might be held up for q
day or two. Most of the yachtsmen
turned in, tonight, in extra blankets
in fact it was the coolest day of the
cruise.
IL the weather is favorable the
fleet will proceed to Bar Harbor, to-
morrow, the racers going around
Great Duck island on a 25-mile run,
with the finish off Egg rock.
The wind up the follow the fleet
disbanding at sunset.
At a captains meeting it was de-
cided on looking over the chart that
there were too many roaring bulls"
and brown cows" to risk the large
sehooners in racing contest through
Eggemoggin Reach and Jericho Bay.
The sailing portion of the fleet was
therefore tied together by stout tow
lines and made the 15-mile run with
the aid of steam and gasoline. There
was very little wind but the weather
was very clear and the run down was
fully as enjoyable as if under racing
conditions. A number of the yachts
men went outside of Marshall Island
on fishing excursions but all were
heading back into Swans Island by
mid afternoon.
The Vagrant left fer Portland, to-
day, to prepare for her trip abroad,
where Capt. Vanderbilt expects to
match his new schooner against some
of the English two stickers. The
cruise will finish. tomorrow in a rae
ing run around Great Duck Island to
Bar Harbor
Recent changes for the purpose of har-
monzng the racing rules of the Eastern
and Corinthian Yacht Clubs with those
of the New York Yacht Club came up for
discussion during the Eastern cruise, this
year, especially the rules bearing on the
question of appeal from racing decisions.
During the 1912 cruise. it developed that
the New York and the Eastern Yacht
Club rules differed as to what consti-
tuted starting line. or when mark
was not mark.
The Elena was disqualified, last year.
for crowding the 1rolita off the line and
fouling her, the sailing master of the for
mer boat having mistakenly thought that
the New York rules We're the same as the
Eastern.
At the rules conference in New York,
last winter, Boston delegate represent
ing the Eastern and Corinthian Yacht
Clubs was present, and as the result or
that conference the rules of both the
Massachusetts clubs were slightly alter
ed This year, the rules OF the Corin-

Washington. July 9.-Secretary Nc
Adoo issued statement, tonight, an
nouneing that he and Chairmen owen
and Glass of the Senate and House
banking and currency committees, had
agreed on an amendment to the cur
rency bill, which would retain the
circulation privilege for the Unite
States per cent. bonds during the
entire period of 20 years, over which
it is proposed to retire the existing
$500, 000, 900 issue of national bank
notes secured by these bonds. 1t has
been declared by critics of the bill
that the recent decline below par In
the market value of the . per cent
bonds was due To the provisions of the
bill limiting the hond-secured cireu-
lation of the banks To the amount ont
standing when the bill should become
law, thereby depriving the bonds Of
the. circulation privilege and deereas
ing their investment value.
Examination of several features of
the administration currency bill was
begun. today, by the currency and
banking committee of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States in
special session here. 1t is probai lie
several days will be consumed in the
discussions before the committee pre-
pares a report to the board of difec-
tors.
1t was said at the headquarters of
the Chamber that the committee is
not opposed to the bill as it stands
but believe it needs strengthening III

son seen with the girl. and who is in
Jail on suspicion. adheres to the de-
tails of the story he has told about
the last night he was with the girl,
which was Friday
One of the theories the police are
working on, is that Johns may have
ad {, rival fer the hand of Miss Girls
pell In the letter Johns wrote to the
SRI Sunday. after she had been miss
ing two days, and which was made
public. yesterday he mentioned man

when questioned by the police. said he

Of TIE death of the girl and further ex-
pressed the belief that Johns also was
innocent. The police are investigating
the story that the girl bad promised
her favor to the one who should first
swim across the widest part of the
lake, a distance of about two and a
half miles.
Search is being made for a third
man, who was said to have been inter-
ested in Miss Crispell. to learn if he

Plans to Retain Circulation Priyi-
lege of u. S. 7 Per Cent. Bonds.

for the compulsory refunding of 10 per
cent. of the outstanding twos annually.
Had this provision stood it would have
been necessary to limit the circulation
privilege of the banks to the amount or
circulation they had outstanding against
government bonds at the time of the pas
sage of the bill and such provision was
incorporated in the measure.
subsequently it was determined to
make the refunding of the twos permis-
sive instead of compulsory and to change
the amount to be refunded from 10 per
cent. to per cent. annually.
This change made the limitation upon
the power of the banks to take out CIR
culaton against the rs necessary. but.
through an oversight. this provision was
not eliminated from the draft of the bill
which is now under consideration.
II have discussed this matter with Sem
ator Owen and Congressman Glass. re-
speetively chairmen of the banking and
currency committee and of the Senate
and House. and we are all in entire
agreement that the bill should be SO
amended as not to interfere with or I'm
pair the right of the banks to take out
circulation against the per cent. bonds
now owned or hereafter acquirtd by them
up to the full amount of their capital as
provided by existing law. Nothing Will
be done to abridge or impair the rights
of the holders of the per cent. bonds,
whether such holders are banks or indt-
viduals This is simple justice.
The bill should, of course, provide that
per cent bonds issued to refund the
2s shall not have the circulation priv
