". K. DANA SAYS
PUT BACK TARIFF
TO BOOM maine

westbrook, Me, March II can
tell you, if you want to print it, how
best TO boom Maine" said Hon. w. K.
Dana of Westbrook to a reporter. If
YOU will put back the tariff, Maine
viii boom as it has never doomed be-
fore. While it Is q fact that the Payne
Aldrich bill actually reduced the tar
if per cent, yet I would not ask
that schedules be as high under the
new tariff bill as they were under that.
Give us three-fourths of the protection
granted by the Payne ldrich bill and
there need be no associations formed
for booming the State.
The present tariff bill" went on
Mr.. Dana, lis working in the interests
of foreign manufacturers and labor
They have put up their prices so that
the only way we can compete with
them is IN making better goods than
they make, but the consumer is not
benefited. He pays as much as he did
before. and the advantage goes into
foreign countries among our COM
petitors instead of among our own peo-
pie. That is the way to boom Maine,
and Il is the only kind of a boom THAI
will secure results. This etra work is
being done, is we'll on its way but 1t
cannot accomplish what return to
protection would do"

ThaW's Sister Sues
Fidelity Trust Co.

Pittsburg, March Claiming that
several hundred thousand dollars
worth of the securities of subsidiary
companies of the Standard Oil Co. of
New Jersey should be credited to her
as income and not as principal Mrs.
Alice Thaw Whitney, sister of Harry
K. Thaw, filed suit in court here Sat
urday against the Fidelity Title &
Trust Co. of Pittsburg.
Mrs. Whitney alleges that the trust
company, trustee for her under the will
of her father, William Thaw, account
ed to her for $S66,54O in principal and
S121,754 in income, but of this, she
claims, the value of 1897 shares of
Standard Oil subsidiaries should have
been counted as income. She also takes
exception to the accounting of 1872
shares of the same companies issued
as stock dividends which the trust
company listed as principal. and to
$4,000 cash dividends of the Standard
Oil Co, also counted as principal.
Her sister, Mrs. Margaret Thaw Car
negie, filed a similar action, her hold
ing of Standard Oil subsidiaries
amounting to 1854 shares, while the
amount she received as stock divi-
dends was 500 shares and her cash div
idend $25,040. She also took excep-
ton TO the purchase for her of Penn
sylyania Railroad Co. stock by the
trust company out of her income ac-
count. The principal held for Mrs.
Carnegie by the trust company was
given as $577,154. Harry Thaw re-
Gently filed a similar suit.

MUCH DAMAGE BY
FURIOUS STORM
IN CONNECTICUT

New Haven, CT. March Much dam
age was done by a furious wind storm
which swept across Connecticut today.
1t was accompanied by torrents of rain,
the barometer fell to a very low mark
and freshets rose in the river valleys
giving prospects of a great rise of water
within a few days and increasingly heavy
damage as the ice breaks up. No lives
were lost.
Four coal barges sank off Milford, but
late tonight the tug Salution, which had
the barges in tow, went into Bridgeport
harbor with their crews.
An unknown two-masted schooner was
driven ashore on the Thimb1e islands off
Stony Creek, and it was feared that the
crew would be lost. This schooner was
first seen passing Guilford during the
gale. Her sails had been blown away.
The vessel was driven in shore and sud
denly she veered off and apparently with
out anyone at the helm, continued to be
blown westward. Late tonight the YES
sci was located on one of the Thin
bles"
As the shore was blocked with ice foes
there was no way of reaching the craft.
With the sound full of ice fields and
foes, the rivers beginning to pour in their
great volumes of freshet water and with
the temperature higher than it has been
for many weeks, it is feared that de-
struction of shore property and the crush
ing of piers and docks valued at thous-
ands of dollars is impending.
During the height of the blow the
weather bureau recorded a barometer of
2S27, wind at 60 miles an hour and 2,4S
inches of rain.
In this city the skylight roof of the
Yale Medical school and roofs of many
houses were blown off, large trees up
rooted and for time Westville, a suburb,
was isolated.
At Norwich the Marguerite block and
the Rogers machine shop were unroofed
and trolley service was paralyzed.
At New London the Lyceum theatre was
unroofed and the city plunged in dark
ness through falling of trees and poles
which carried down the wires of the cleo
trio company.
Railroad traffic over the Shore Line of
the New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad was delayed by two accidents

down and Deputy Sheriff E. E. Add
tor presented him. on behalf of his
deputies. with a gold watch and
gold badge. bearing the words "Sher-
iff of Androscoggin County" and the
Maine seal.

completely by surprise. l can only say
that there never was a more efficient
body Of deputies than we have right
here in this county. Neither you nor
anyone else will ever be able to say

this badge"
Then cigars were passed around and

Bridgeport, Conn, March Eight
cry graves today when four barges of
a tow of five in charge of the tug Sal
utation of the McWilliams Line sank
in Long Island sound off Charles is
land, Milford, in a 60-mile gale. The
barges were cut loose from the Sal

fact that the crew of Ryan & Keen,
which firm has the contract for put
ting in the foundation for the new
Maine Central railroad bridge was
busy Sunday getting ready to remove
its apparatus and machinery in case
of a rise of water. The dynamo which
is used in the work on the piers was
by the Pennsylvania Railroad and af-
filiated companies was legally open to
question. This was regarded by the
board of directors of the Pennsylvania
Railroad as imposing upon them the
duty of most carefully reconsidering
the question of the legal right of the
company to hold these shares, as this
company would greatly regret engag-
ing in any controversy with the de-
partment of justice.
AS business proposition, they were
convinced that a sale of thees shares
would be detrimental to the interests
of the company's stockholders.
AS trustees, therefore, for the $4,000
shareholders of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Co, the directors felt that in
the absence of an authoritative deter
mination by the courts, they would not
be justified in gratuitously resolving
adversely to the interests of the share
holders the doubt intimated by the
attorney general as to the legality of
the ownership.
THE directors thereupon took action
accordingly, which was promptly COM
municated to the attorney general,
with assurances that if the department
of justice should finally determine that
it was properly required to institute
legal proceedings, this company would
cooperate with the department in any
steps the department might deem APP
propriate to secure a prompt deter
mination by the supreme court of the
United States of the law governing
this situation"
