Business Is As Good.
As We Make 1t

The head of great national
industry a veritable live. wire
= remarked recently that he
could have panic in his busi-
ness any time he wanted 1t.
All he had to do was to let
up driving and begin to talk hard
times.
But instead of doing this, he
increases his advertising when
things look squally and drives
his statesmen harder.
And good times or bad, there
has never been a year that his
business has failed to go ahead
and yield handsome profit
This man incidentally practi-
cally does all his advertising in
the local newspapers, figuring
wisely that by making sales for
the distributors of his goods, he
is paving the way for his own
statesmen to get more orders.

Gov. Haines, Interviewed, Has
Plans for Better Handling OF
Lobster Problem in Maine.

Governor William T. Haines has re-
turned from Washington. where he
went to lead the plea for protection of
the lobster industry in Maine, and
gives out the following interview;
After the hearing, l left Washing
ton on the 8 P. M. train. Our COM
missioner and the others from Maine
who went with me remained for an
other conference with the U. S. com
missioner in the afternoon, when they
worked out the details for future ac-
ton. There is only one point now re-
naming to be settled, and that is,
What shall be done with the seed
Holsters after the seed is removed by
the U. S, government at their hatch
cry and the Holsters are returned to
the ones from whom they were pur-
chased, the dealers and fishermen" As
the law now is, they cannot be sold
to the trade, but the State can buy
them and place them again in the wa
ter from whence they were taken.
But we can amend our laws and
permit them to be sold Tor food This
is the problem that the State has on
it's hands to work out during the next
session of the Legislature, and is the
only remaining problem in connection
with the seed lobster business, so far
as the State Is concerned, that | can
see.
MY idea is that we should increase
our appropriation for this business and
return the seed lobster to the water.
1t is true that some of them may be
taken again and sold for food before
they again bear eggs, but l think the
policy of continuing the protection and
replanting of the egg bearing Holsters
should be continued. as it will assist
somewhat in the future propagation
of this valuable food product, and tend
TO keep up the industry which is one
of the greatest on our coast.

Kelleher Ready to
Go to Los Angeles
To Give Testimony.

Waterville, Me-, Jan. 26.-Cornelius B.
Kelleher of this city. who has been
brought into the Grondin case. says he
knows nothing about the case
II knew Mrs. Grondin when she was
girl of IA or 15 years. We were good
friends. The news of her death was as
much a shock to me as to any of her old
friends here 1 had not known anything
about her since she left here"
Asked il he had wired to Los Angeles
his readiness to appear as witness in
the case, Mr.. Kelleher referred inquirers
to his attorney, Mr.. Pattangall.
Mr. Pattangall was asked If Mr. Kelle-
her had telegraphed to Los Angeles of
his willingness to appear at the trial
should he be needed.
Il might answer yes or no and both
would be correct" said Mr.. Pattangall.
Mr.. Kelleher had not wired to Los An
geles but in reply to dispatch from
the district attorney who is investigating
the case In California have written for
Mr.. Kelleher that he would be willing to
go to Los Angeles If it was deemed
necessary and If any testimony that he
could give would be of any value in the
case. In my own opinion he will not be
asked to take the journey. l do not
believe that any testimony that Mr.. Kel-
leher could give would be admissible in
the case. l think there are other Maine
people whose testimony may be wanted.
Whether 1t will be necessary for them
to go to California I do not know. AS
this is a murder case, dispositions cannot
be used, but believe some arrangement
will be made whereby this testimony may
be taken in this State.
when Mrs. Gronoin lived here she
was highly respected. Nobody here takes
the slightest stock in the reference to
the Waterville men in the letter given
out. Her friends here believe in her
thoroughly.
Mrs. Grondin was married when she
was about II and after that her Water
vile friends lost track of her.
Daily Kennebec journal., 1914-01-27

'T am much pleased to learn from Com
missioner Smith that the federal govern
ment proposes to build in the very near
future a large rearing plant for Holsters,
and l expect this will be built on our
coast probably near Boothbay, in which
the lobster spawn, which has heretofore
been put out in the floating stage, and
which is subject to a great amount of
destruction from sea birds and other
aquatic animals, will be kept until the
fourth mott, when it will sink when it is
put into the water, and very much
larger per cent will grow to be Holsters.
THE future of the lobster industry in
my Judgment depends upon the care and
protection we give it more than in any
other fishing interest We have. The i'm
portant feature in this business is that
il takes seven years to raise a lobster
to full size or to the reproducing size.
This can be done only with the strictest
observances of scientifical rules and
practices and in compliance with the
statutes which are made to carry those
rules into effect, that this industry can
be maintained.
Another thing which l learned from
U. S. Commissioner Smith was that he
proposed to send scentifcal men along
the coast to lecture to the fishermen in
connection with stereopticon views, show
ing the practical side of the lobster
propagation, or, in other words, educat-
ing them more fully in what the govern
ment is doing for their benefit. and
thereby getting greater cooperation with
the government work. and also more re-
spect for the State laws which are made
to aid the government work. and which
is now beginning to be appreciated by
the fishermen
"Our full delegation in Congress, two
senators and four representatives, did
me the honor to attend the hearing and
l know will one and all do all they can

Charles Sias, Long on Stand, De.

led to Him..HIs Finding Of the
Victims on Their Bed In Camp.
Indications in the Vannah murder
trial Monday morning were that the
case would be in the hands of the jury
by Thursday night at the latest.
Mrs. Hardy Witness.

Mrs. Cora Hardy, wife of the late Ed
ward Hardy, the man whom it is al
legged Francis A. Nannah murdered,
occupied a seat in the place reserved
for witnesses In the south side of the
court room. She was dressed In deep
mourning and was accompanied by her
mother, who occupied a seat beside
her. Mrs. Hardy was the first witness
called and holding the witness stand
the entire forenoon session, about
three hours in length. Frequently dur
ing the direct examination by Coun-
ty Attorney Fisher, relating the de-
tails of the horrible crime she broke
down and wept. When asked to state
what her husband said to her when
he was lying on the bed in a dying
condition, she wept in pitiful man
ner. her voice trembled and she could
hardly speak. Attorney Maher for the
defence put the witness under the
cross-fire of a rigid examination but
failed to shake her testimony in the
least Her answers were prompt and
to the point. She bore up bravely to
the last and proved to be very help
full witness for the State.
Charles Sias. who was the first to
reach the Hardy camp, took the wit
ness stand shortly after the beginning
of the afternoon session, occupying
it the greater part of the time. Sias,
like Mrs. Hardy, was an excellent wit
ness and the counsel for the defence
in his cross-examlnation appeared to
fail to pry out any material advan-
tages for his case.

Charged with Murder
OF Wife, Waterville
Girl==Alleged For
mer Attempt.
SENSATIONAL DISCLOSURES
OTHERS DECLARED INVOLV we'd.

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. 2e.-Two min
utes in court, the time required to
arraign a prisoner, started today what
is expected to be long legal battle
for the life of John Grondin, chemist
and undertaken, charged with the
murder of his wife, Zelia, daughter
of a Waterville, Me-, druggist. under
the guise of suicide.
Grondin's preliminary hearing was
set for Feb. 8. Attorneys say the case
will be a struggle between handwrit
ing experts who have examined the
suicide note" which Grondin alleged
his wife wrote to him just before she
inhaled gas last October.
This note, telling of alleged infldel-
ity, caused the father of Mrs. Gron-
din, George Daviau, to institute an
inquiry. Two handwriting experts have
had the note under examination and
today one of them announced posi-
tively that the note had been written
by Grondin, while the second was
equally positive that it had been writ
ten by Mrs Grondin. One of the ex-
perts represented the prosecution, the
other the defence.
Mrs. Grondin was found in her room
with a box over her head and gas
tube inserted under it. Grondin has
been under surveillance since and was
arrested when the district attorney
announced that poison had been found
in Mrs. Grondin's body, which was ex-
humed several days ago. Detectives
employed by Grondins counsel spent
the day in a fruitless search for the
"ghost" which Grondin says was
made to appear Saturday night when
detectives were giving him the third
degree in an effort to elicit confess
sion.

Strike Cases Called
In Michigan Circuit
COurt==A Motion to
observation-disclosures
Grounds, illegal Sumnloning
0fGrand Jury and It's Conduct.

Houghton. Mich. Jan. I26-The West
ern Federation CT Miners today began
it's fight in the courts IN behalf of its
president Charles H. Meyer and its 80
odd officials and members, who are in
dicted on the charge OF conspirfng to
interfere with non-union employees of
the Michigan copper mines.
When the strike cases were called in
the Houghton county circuit court at
the opening of the January term,
counsel for the Federation asked for
time to make special pleas. and at the
same time filed a motion to quash the
indictments on the main grounds that
the grand Jury had been illegally sum-
moned and it's deliberations had not
been conducted in secret with accord
ance with law. Judge O'Brien an
nounced he would devote tomorrow
afternoon to hearing arguments on the
motion Angus w. Kerr. E. F. Legen-
dere and E. A. McNally will appear as
attorneys for the union and Prosecutor
Anthony Lucas and Special Prosecutor
George E. Nichols will represent the
state.
The Federation lawyers are expected
to renew their demands for a copy of
the testimony before the grand jury
today. Mr.. Kerr stated today that an
attack also would be made on the form
of the indictments. After this prelimi-
nary skirmish and the next move of
the union forces will probably be an
application for change of venue in
all the important strike cases pending
before the court.
"Moyer, Mahoneyl and the other off,
cials will be here when they are need
ed" said Mr.. Kerr. The strikers who
were indicted jointly with them, with
one exception. appeared today and
were released under the same bond to
return to court next Monday. The ex-
ception was Sidney Pault, a striker,
who has renounced his membership in
the Federation and has returned TO
wor, in the miEes. He entered a plea
of not guilty and furnished bonds for
Two strikers We're given Jail SEN
tences today for carrying concealed
weapons and Judge O'Brien served no.
tice that anyone convicted in his court
on that charge would be dealt with in
in a similar manner.
Eleven women relatives of strikers
appeared as defendants in strike cases
and pleaded guilty. Three had been
convicted in a justices court on the
charge of using indecent language.
Three were charged with intimidation
All were released under suspended SEN
terce.

addressed to the president that they
were not called for in the resolution
, adopted by the Senate last summer
directing the investigation. The re-
port shsws that the funded debt OF

That the interest bearing liabilities
of the Frisco system exceeded the
stock liability by 3T5 per cent. and
were wholly disproportionate when
compared with the capitalization OF
other carriers, including those in the

Jackson. Mich, Jan. 26,-Officers of
the Michigan Central Railway this af-
ternoon began investigation of the
wreck on the Saginaw division of that
road, which caused the death of four
persons and the injury of a dozen 9TH
ers, late Sunday night.
According to Division Superintendent
Wright, the crew of the northbound
freight train was responsible for the
collision. They should have taken a
siding to allow the southbound pas
senger to pass, but instead of so do
ing ran quarter Of a mile beyond
the switch, where the two trains,
running at nearly full speed crashed
together. The freight crew apparently
forgot all about the on-coming pas
senger which although a regularly
scheduled train runs only on Sunday
night.
The tracks were cleared of debris
late today.
