Washington Friends
Join Second District
In Urging His
Candidacy
Important Hearing on PoWdery
SCab al Agricultural Dept

Washington, D. c., Feb. 2S.-(Spe-
cial)-Maine folks are toierably active
at Washington these mid winter days.
There are numerous visitors from the
old State. There are also numerous
matters pending here in, which Maine
people are more or less interested.
Many messages have been passing
between Washington and the first
Congressional district with regard to
the candidacy of Representative Asher
C. Kinds, for another term. Among
Maine people here there is much sat
isfaction over any move that looks to
Mr. Kinds remaining in public life and
trying for another two years in the
House. His announcement. some
weeks ago that he would not be a
candidate again was generally re-
gretted.
The first District Congressman is
not any keener now than he has been
about seeking two years more of SER
vice in the House. He has been
anxious for period of rest during
which he can fully recover his health.
But his constituents have been writ
ing him many letters, all insisting that
he could help the Republican party
materially by running again. The
action of the York county RepupIlcah
committee in requesting him to re-
consider his declination and promis-
ing him support in the primaries car
ried great weight because. York county
is the Republican half of the DISTRICT.
With that Mr.. Kinds was disposed 10

IMMIGRATION
THREATSMADE
BY ITALY LIKE
LY BE IGNORED

Washington, March members of
the Senate immigration committee are
inclined to ignore intimatons that the
italian government will not sign a
new arbitration treaty with the Unit
ed States unless assured that the sec
tion of the pending immigration bill
providing for United States health in
spectors on immigrant ships shall not
apply to italian steamers, and that the
proposed literacy test shall not inter-
fere with Italian immigration. The
committee views similarly the asser-
tion that Italy will not participate in
the Panama Pacific Exposition if i'm
migration legislation is unsatisfactory.
Notification reported to have been
given to the American ambassador by
the italian foreign office, has not been
brought officially to the attention of
the immigration committee. Members
of the committee say, however, that
they see no reason to change their
plans and that the bill will be pushed
to final consideration early this week
and reported to the Senate without
changing the provisions for literacy
test and for health inspectors.
Senators are inclined to attribute
italian opposition to the influence of
steamship companies. They point out
that Italy is the only country that has
demonstrated, though it would be no
more affected than other countries, and
that no country is likely to be so in
terested in having its citizens leave
as to oppose restrictions on immigra-
tion by other countries,
Steamship companies, they believe,
are interested for two reasons. Restric-
tions of immigration would cut down
receipts, and the duties of the health
inspectors on immigration vessels
would be to observe and report viola
tions by the companies of laws for
the protection and care of immigrant
passengers.
Committee members believe that
even if they were disposed to favor
Italy, there Is no way to frame pro-
vision for a literacy test go as to make
an exception of any country. and they
are not disposed TO let the attitude of
one country change their position on
the entire question.

TROUBLE THREAT

BY warm RAIN
ANpWINDST0RM

The first real rain storm for three
months ushered in the month of March
and in a way that while it may not
bring on a freshet such as the Ken
nebec river is capable of producing,
was the cause Sunday night of not
"a small amount of concern. The storm
began at o'clock Sunday morning,
and while it was mild during its
opening hours it developed during the
day into typical nor easter, the rain
coming down in torrents for the great
er part of the time which turned the
cutters on some of the city streets into
miniature torrents, and set the brooks
running full The general impression
about town was that should the rain
continue through the night there might
be something doing" along the Ken
nebec by tonight.

Entering the governments service as

Earl of Minto became at 60 viceroy of
India. the most important and lucrative
post in the British colonial governments.
He was born in ls45 and after education
at Eton and Cambridge there We're 80
years filled with brilliant exploits as
soldier. six as governor general of Can
ada and five in governing India.
He was in Paris during the Commun-
lists uprising in 1871. He followed the
Carlist army in Spain as a war corre-
spondent He witnesses the operations of
the Turkish army on the Danube, and
was present during the bombardment of
Nokopolis and the historic crossing OF
the Danube. He was with General Rob
erts in the Afghan campaign and later
served as his private secretary in South
Africa. He fought the Egyptians as a
captain of mounted infantry in 1882 and
was serevely wounded al MAGYAR.
Later he became military secretary to
Lord Lansdowne, the governor general of
Canada and during this service he helped
put down the Northwest Rebellion as
chief of staff under Gen. Middleton. Re-
turning to his homeland he served as
brigadier general of volunteer infantry
in Scotland.
When 43 years of age Lord Minto was
appointed governor general of Canada,
and there won renown as statesman
and dimlomat In his speeches he show
ed deep affection for America.
"I predict a great future for the West

world"
During Lord Minto's reign in Canada

was called upon for volunteer troops In

had gained in his 80 years of soldering
was of inestimable benefit He personal

money orders in the postal service He
closed his long public career in 1909 when
he resigned from the viceroyalty.
Lord Mimic was possessed of great
wealth, most of which he inherited.

Harbor Projects

Washington, March In a COM
munication no Congress the Board of
Army Engineers Saturday disapproved
two Massachusetts Harbor improve
ment projects.
An expenditure of s154,000 to $780,
600 to deepen the Weymouth Rive riv-
er was unwarranted, the statement
said, because it would benefit only a
single shipbuilding company.
The proposal to improve Marion
Harbor, in Buzzard's Bay, also was
disapproved, the board holding that the
traffic would not justify the necessary
expenditure.
The board recommended the expen-
diture of $4,000 to witness the 400

JACOB WINSLOW
IS BREAKING UP
ON BLACK ROCKS

Wakefield, r. l., March THE
schooner Jacob S. Winslow, four
master, lumber laden from Fernandina
for Providence, crashed onto Black
Rocks on the south side of Block is
land early today
Capt. Wilson and his crew of eight
men were rescued several hours later
by the Block Island life savers under
Capt. Teal, who made hazardous trip
in a surf boat against a southeast gale
blowing a mile a minute.
Although loath to abandon the ves-
sci, Capt Wilson believed she was in
danger of breaking up at any time,
and as the water was gaining rapidly
in her hold he decided to join his crew
in a life savers boat.
The schooner ran ashore at low tide
and every sea hammered ] er farther
onto the rocks. Life savers think she
will be a total wreck. OF countless yes
sells that have struck on that portion.
of the Block island coast only one has
escaped.
Owned in Portland.
The Jacob s. Winslow is owned at
Portland, Me. and was built at Bath
in 1889
Capt. Knowles, superintendent of
this life saving district. said there was
little possibility that the schooner
would survive the gale.
After the crew of the Jacob S. Wins
low had been safely landed the engi-
neer, William Hannibal of New Haven,
Negro, lost his life in the surf. Be-
lieving that the schooner was in no
immediate danger of breaking up,
Hannibal declined to accompany them,
saying that he would stay with the
vessel and would swim ashore if neces-
sary.
Later when the schooner began to
go to pieces Hannibal jumped into the
sea and had nearly reached the beach
when he was struck by piece of
Wreckage and killed.
The rest of the crew were at the
life saving station tonight At dark
the masts of the vessel had gone over
board and she was fast breaking up.
The revenue cutter Acushnet and the
tug Tasco from New London, which
came to the assistance of the Wins
low. were in New Harbor tonight. The
weather bureau observer on the island
reported the barometer reading the
lowest on the ISLAM records, 2S.4. The
wind velocity was over 70 miles an
