Bad Fire Sunday at Machias.


The people of Machias had an ex-
citing Sunday afternoon with fire
which destroyed the fine residence of
Fred J. Geary on Green Hill, formerly
known as the Zephaniah Allen place.
A chimney burned out earlier in the
afternoon and a spark which lodged
in a gutter started a blaze which de-
stroyed the main house and ell. Young
America No. was rushed to the res
cue. 1t wouldn't work from long dis
use, and a line of hose was coupled
up the nearest hydrant, $500 feet
away. This was more hose than was
ever used at a fire in Machias Water
was turned on in time to save the two
large barns and other buildings
short distance from the house. Hun
dreds of people gathered and rescued
the most of the furniture from the
house and took out what was NOV
able in the barns. The loss on the
house is estimated at $4,000, upon which
there is $4,000 insurance in the Aetna
company through P. II. Longfellow's
agency. There is also an insurance of
$500 on the furniture.

boys gave chase and held him up.
Morse escaped into a livery stable and

Denver Chamber of Commerce
Denver, Colo, May Sth. 1914.

Denver Colo. May sth. 1914.
To the Public:
The deplorable conditions arising out
of the coal strike in Colorado have nee
essitated the calling of federal troops to
the assistance of the Governor and local
authorities, and have attracted the at
tention of the whole country.
Certain newspapers of Denver. the
capital of the state. have grossly mis-
represented the actual facts. They have
published accounts of the so called bat
ties in the coal fields and sent them
broadcast over the country. In these
accounts they have charged the State
militia with massacring women and
children, and by their lurid statements
have melted ignorant men to commit
acts of lawlessness in attacking coal
mines and the defenders thereof, in
Guiding the State militia, which attacks
have resulted in great destruction of life
and property.
In truth and in fact the State militia
have killed no women or children. and
none have been killed by any person or
persons Two women and II children
were found dead from suffocation in a
cellar under a tent, where they had gone
without the knowledge of the militia
Others were discovered by the State
militia in similar places and were res
cued by them at great risks to them
selves. One boy of II was shot in one
of the fights, but by whom and under
what circumstances is not yet known.
Because of this situation this Chamber
daems II m he IT'S duty to enter its Wig
orous protest against the misrepresenta-
tons and indictments to violence which
have gone out from newspapers of this
city, and TO support the Governor and
the authorities, state and national, in

Cases Before the District Court.
District Attorney Stephen c. Perry
had his first cases in the United States
District Court at Portland since quail
flying in his new position about a
week ago. Charles H. Milan of Ban
gor was arraigned on an Indictment
found under the act relating to the
breaking of seals on freight cars. Ac-
cording to the reports the car entered
by the respondent was placed on a
siding at Bangor and contained ship
ments of liquor consigned to various
persons in that vicinity. 1t is under
stood that this is one of the first cases
to be brought before the federal court
in this district under this act. Milan
pleaded not guilty ana was ordered by
Judge Hale to furnish sureties in the
sum of $500 for his appearance at the
June term of the United States district
court. II. L. Bailey of Lincoln and
Geo. Kratzenberg of Bangor were ar
raigned on indictments found against
them at the April term alleging vio-
lation of the federal revenue laws by
retailing liquors without the special
tax stamp. Each was held under $500
sureties for the June term of court

FIRST DECISION UNDER NEW ARBITRATION AC
HEAVY RED GUM SHIPMENTS To EGYPT
WILL GO VIA THE PORT OF PENSACOLA
TO FRAME ORDINANCE
REGULATING DIARIES

that all milk intended for human con-
sumption shall be maintained at
temperature not in excess of 60 de-
g-ees. Other cities also regulate the
sanitary condition of dairy barns and
surroundings and some prescribe fly
proof vehicles for the delivery Of milk.
Chairman Sheriff. was not prepared
to state last night just what recon-
mendations would be made to the city
commissioners, but gave assurance
that the matter would be fully investi-
gated before action was taken, and
that this inquiry would cover the prac-
tice of other cities in this regard. The
Mobile city commissioners secured a
vast amount of data on the subject of
pure milk when the matter was being
agitated in that city, and it is pos
sibie that request will be made for
the use of this data in the framing of
an ordinance suitable to conditions in
Pensacola.
Physicians have long pointed out
that impure milk is one of the most
frequent cases of disease, and a large
number of the typhoid fever cases in
many cities have been traced to it di-
reCtly.

QUICK DESPATCH AT
PORT OF PENSACOLA
Petition for Equalization of
Freight Rates to Gulf
Ports Now Before Inter
state Commerce Commits
sion Will Probably Re-
ceive Favorable Action.

That the port of Pensacola may
take the lead in the shipment of red
gum lumber and timber to the mar
kets of the near east is the belief
Of George Land, of the Land-Fish
Lumber Co., of Charleston, Miss, who
was in the city Tuesday for the pur-
pose of arranging for the shipment
Of 100 cars of red gum lumber to AL
exandria, Egypt, following a ship
ment of thirty cars made through
this port some time since. During
the day Mr. Land called at the rooms
Of the Chamber of Commerce for the
purpose of discussing the possibility
of securing an equalization of freight
rates to Gulf ports, q matter which
Is now before the Interstate Com
merce commission. The Land Fish
Lumber Company is said to be the
largest manufacturer Of hard woods
in the south, If not in the world, and
Mr.. Land is anxious to make arrange
ments for the handling of his export
product through the port of Pensa-
cola because of the unusually prompt
dispatch which is given the shipments
here. resulting is considerable saving
in the cost Of han ding
The shipment of 100 cars, now con-
templated, will 60 forward as solid
charter cargo to Alexandria, where the
red gum Of the south Is used largely
for Interior finishing. The wood.
from mahogany without careful eX-
animation and a large business in
1t Is developing, not only in Egypt, but
in various parts Of the world.
The Land-Fish Co. expect to use
the port OF Pensacola exclusively for
the export of their product as soon
as equalization of freight rates is Sc
cured, and there is every reason to
believe that a satisfactory rate to this
point will be ordered by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission as soon
as full hearing upon the subject is
had. The business is of large volume
ana is constantly increasing and the
shipment Of the export product Of the
mills of the company via this port
would not only give employment to a
large number of baymen, but would
be an important factor in the general
business of the port.

"It is plain from the text of the act
