SPARKS FROM MAINE WIRES,
More from Sen. Haaerthy.

Senator A c. Hagerthy of Hancock
county has given out an interview at his
home at Ellsworth In which he hands a
severe jolt to the State Highway Commits
sions plan for expanding the proceeds
of the 100000 bond issue on trunk
lines alone. He believes, he says, that
the people generally should receive the
benefits of good roads, as has been urg-
ed by the Maine State Grange. Senator
Hagerthy agrees with Senator Conant of
taken by the State Highway Commission
in devoting all of the good roads bond
money to trunk lines was one never con-
sidered by the legislative committee
which considered the good roads bill. AS
Senator Conant was chairman of that
committee his views on the subject have
been widely quoted and have carried
great influence throughout the State
Unmoved by Canadian Action.
Aroostook county potato growers can
hardly be said to be alarmed over the
news which has reached them from Otta-
wa that the Canadian government is
shortly to put an embargo on American
potatoes and refuse their admission into
for all the tubers Aroostook can pro-
duce on this side of the line and the ac-
ton by the Canadian government will
actually prove nothing more than an ex-
cellent safety valve through which their
resentment over the recent action of the
federal board of horticulture in Wash
ington is placing an embargo on Do
mnion tubers, can escape. Although the
official reason for the Canadian action
is the alleged presence of more potato
disease In Aroostook county than can be
found on the Canadian side of the line,
1t is openly admitted that the embargo
will show Canada's resentment.

Great Interest in
Former Anna Gould S
Divorce Appeal.

Rome, Jan. 9.-There is great in
terest in the meeting here tomorrow
of the Segnatura Tribunal, the High
Court of the Roman Curia, to decide
the appeal of the Duchess De Talley-
rand, formerly Anna Gould of New
York, from the verdict of the Rota
Tribunal, which annulled her marriage
to her first husband, Count Boni De
Castellane.
The duchess, who previously had
refused even to engage counsel TO
contest the annulment decree, now has
placed her case in the hands of a law
yer, who expresses the belief that the
Segnatura Tribunal will accept the
plea of the duchess that she was not
regularly notified of the trial of the
counts action before the Rota Tri-
bunal, and therefore did not have an
opportunity to appear before the court
and submit new evidence in refuta-
ton of the counts allegations.
While the attorney for the Duchess
declares that his client will be able to
prove incontestably that she did not
receive the citation alleged to have
been sent her through the Archbishop
of Paris, to defend the action, the OPP
posing side will contend that the doc
ument was in an envelope bearing the
coat of arms of the Archbishop of
Paris and that the duchess purposely
refused to accept it. The prelates
forming the Segnatura Tribunal
Cardinals Vincenzo. Vannutelli, Agli-
ardi, Cassetta, Caparri and Pompili--
have given deep study to the case.
Cardinal Martinelli also Is a member
of the court, but owing to ill health it
is presumed that he will not take part
in tomorrow's sitting.

vertible bond such as is proposed in
the present case.
mo request has been made for the
issue of bonds without the convert
ible-into-stock feature. Apparently no
vote has been passed by the stockhold-
ers for an issue of that kind. Hence, the
only matter to be considered upon this
aspect of the case is whether approx
al of an issue of convertible debent-
ures such as is set out in the order of
the commission is within legal power
The conclusion follows that the order
approving the issue Of convertible de-
bentures and OF stock was beyond the
authority of the commission and hence
must be quashed.
The plaintiff as stockholders plainly
have a right to invoke the protection
Of tho court against a proposed issue
of convertible debentures and stock
such as here is proposed"

CONTINUE LOYAL.
A Feature of the Cape Railway En-
courages Managers.

Capetown, Jan. "a feature of the
railway strike situation which encourages
the managers is the continued loyalty of
the Cape Railway men and the refusal
of the operating staff of the Durham
branch of the Natal Railroad to join the
strike. 1t was the refusal of the Cape
Railway employees to obey the Johannes
burg Trades Federation which was the
main cause for the ultimate collapse of
the miners strike in July.
All reports received from Natal show
that the railways are running without
interruption, but at Blooemfontein, Or
ange Free State, the running staff has
jointed the strikers.
Reports of rioting at Jagersfontein are
exaggerated. There were disorders to-
day, however in which five natives were
killed and two Europeans injured.
