Alma Me, May 24.-(SpeciaD. The
worst forest fire for nearly so years
is now burning here and in Wiscas-
set and the citizens have sounded a
general alarm for aid. More than 1000
acres have already been burned over
and no one can tell at this time where
it will be stopped
About loo men are engaged in
fighting the blaze with others coming.
The fire started Thursday in an un-
known manner, but supposed to have
been set by some person smoking
while fishing on one of the brooks in
the west part of the town. The fire
vas supposed TO be under control I'M
til a high wind Sunday famed the
embers and before the residents real
lied they had an apparently uncon-
trollable blaze before them
More than a score of timber lots
have been burned over where some
of the timber was the best for many
miles.
Help was summoned from Wiscas-
set and Newcastle, and should a high
breeze set in many farm buildings are
almost certain to be lost in the flames.
The loss cannot be estimated at this
time.

The Antitrust Legislation Decision May
Mean Extension of Program
Into the Fall

Washington, May 24-Whether Con-
gress will adjourn in July or struggle
along until late in the fall probably
will be determined during the present
week. Democratic leaders have pre-
dicted for several weeks that they
would be able to put through the leg
islation asked by President Wilson
and still get away by July Is. Develop
ments in the last few days, however,
have led some of the leaders to re-
wise this opinion and 1t was admitted
today that If the Senate undertakes to
put through antitrust legislation of
comprehensive nature such as its COM

poses, adjournment can hardly be TAX

SUFFRAGETTE RIOTING IS
INCREASING DESPITE THE
BRITISH POLICE EFFORTS
Sylvia Pankhurst Chains Self to Other
Women but Is Arrested-COunter
Demonstrations

London, May 24.-The suffragists
gave the police and church officials a
busy Sunday while they themselves in
some cases received rough treatment
from the crowds. who showed their
resentment at the recent interference
with the King and the damage done
to pictures.
Sylvia Pankhurst, who was again
arrested under the cat and mouse"
act, and her East End followers pro-
vided the biggest excitement of the
day. A great procession formed at
Canning Town and marched to Vic
toria Park. On the way the women
picked up Sylvia Pankhurst who was
chained and handcuffed to Is women
and surrounded by other supporters
armed with slaves.
The police allowed the procession
to proceed, but when the park was
reached they got the militant leader
and those chained to her into the park
by an adroit move and then shut the
gates against the rest of the women.
Taken at a disadvantage, the women
in chains put up a stiff fight, but the
police finally broke the chains with
their truncheons and arrested Miss
Sylvia. They allowed the others to
go.
Outside the gate a furious struggle
went on between male sufrragists and
