Murphy to Be Called.

Murphy. In recent public state
ment, said that he had given the rpon-
ey back to Brady. He will probably
be called in the near future to tell
his story under oath.
Sulzer conceded today that Murphy
had given $4,000 back to Brady out
that it was not the same $4,000. The
s25. 600 which was paid to Brady, ac-
cording to Sulzer, was to compromise
a suit for $4,000 which he said Brady
had brought against Murphy.
murphy sent ]. Sergeant Cram to
see Brady and get him to call off the
suit" said Sulzer. Brady was angry
and wouldn't listen to Cram. He SAID
Murphy had sworn falsely In his an
swer to the suit and that he had bet
ter come across with the money or ne
would press the suit and expose him.
Murphy, on the advice OF Bradys
attorney, finally went to see Brady
himself, Sulzer said, and Brady COM
promised for $4,000.
BRADY made him a present of Slo,-
600" added the witness. THE sum-
mons and complaint in this suit, If they
are not destroyed, would make inter-
esting reading at this time"
Sulzer also testified concerning the
$4,000 contribution which Allan A
Ryan, son of Thomas F. Ryan, the n
nancier, asserted at the witness I'M
peachment trial, he gave to Suizer ana
was never reported in Suffers list OF
contributions. The witness said he
gave it to John H. Delaney. now head
of the state bureau of efficiency and
economy, and that Delaney told him he
had given it to Murphy. This was an
other contribution which, he said, Muir
ply told him would be listed under
the name of a dummy. He declared
also that Delaney had kept For his
own campaign expenses" $4,000 which
he (Sulzer) had given to him to Help
out" the Democratic state committee.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealing In All
the Leading Stocks.

New York. Feb. 26.--The aggressive bear
party which took control of the market
yesterday renewed the attack at the
opening today. There was heavy selling,
especially of Steel, Reading and Amalga-
mated, and prices were depressed gener-
ally. but the decline was small and of
short duration. A better demand appear
ed at the lower level and the downward
movement was checked. The shorts, un-
able to bring about a further break. be-
gan to cover and prices rose fractionally
ment ended. Trading In the latter part
of the day was light and fluctuations
were trivial.
Foreign selling was less of an infiu-
London continued to dispose of stocks
here. Sales for European account
amounted to perhaps 2o,000 shares. This
selling together with the lower range of
quotations for American stocks in Lon
don was influential in depressing the
market at the opening. Foreign selling
of the low-priced railroad stocks. an un-
settling influence yesterday, subsided to-
ing. Denver & Rio Grande and Rock
Island shares made good gains, and the
declines in Missouri Pacific and the Wa
bash and Missouri, Kansas & Texas
stocks were halted.
Despite the promptitude with which
bear onslaught was checked, operators on
the long side made no attempt to force
up the market. The possibility of shift
at any time In the Mexican situation
made traders reluctant to take on new
lines of long stock Heaviness of for
egn markets and suggestions of serious
financial difficulties In Paris also held
back this market.
The January figures Of the Hartman
lines were in line with the reports of
other railroad shares indicating general
falling off in gross earning. Union Pa
cific's gross decreased 1927 but the net
shrinkage was held to $4,000 by means
of a contraction in operating expenses:
Southern Pacific's gross decreased $3l0,WO
and it's net nearly as much.

The henceforth historic haze of
1912" appears to have registered itself
Enthusiastically in the evaporation re-
cords of the great plains and the in
termountain districts of our western
states. This subject has been discuss
ed in a memoir Of L, ]. Briggs and
]. o. Betz of the United States bu-
reau of plant industry, on the basis
of measurements made at number Of
evaporating tanks during the last five
years. AS compared with the nor
map' for the whole period of observa-
ton, the average evaporation measured
at Is stations during the four months
following the eruption of katinai was
generally deficient. the average reduc-
ton amounting to about 10 per cent.
This corresponds fairly we'll with the
reduction in solar radiation observed
by Abbot and Fowles and by Kimball
during the same months.

you'll find a lot of dummies on
that list put in by the Democratic
state committee" continued the wit
ness-"A lot of men who wouldn't give
$1,000 to save the Democratic party
from going to the bowwoWs." He
named among these alleged dummies
Thomas F. McAvoy, Tammany leader
of Harlem, and George Washington
Plaunkitt, another Tammany leader.
McAvoy, called as the next witness,
denied that he had ever given one dol
lar to the Democratic party That
wasn't my own money"
Il gave from $500 to $4,000 every
year." he said.
Plunkitt. who was also to have been
called, failed to respond to his sub
poena.
Another witness was William J.
Sullivan, secretary to James A. Far
rell, president of the United States
Steel Corporation. He testified that at
the request of Farrell he had in 1912
given $500 in cash out of F'arrelPs s
personal funds to Arthur A. Mclean
treasurer of the Democratic state COM
mittee He produced a receipt made
out to himself and signed by Mclean
How did you happen to have the
receipt made out in your name instead
of Farrelrs?" the witness was asked
"It was my own idea." said Sulli-
van. Il knew that Mr.. Farrell was
the only Democratic in the steel or
ganization and thought he would pre-
fer not to have his name appear. He
was quite exercised over it and told me
there was no reason why it should
not be in his name. but to let it go,
as it was immaterial.'
1t was brought out that the contri-
button was never reported by the
Democratic state committee. A sub
poena was issued for Sullivan by the
managers in charge of Suffers i'm
peachment, but he was never called.

Aged Invalid Is
Burned to Death

Fftchburg, Mass, Feb. 26.-Miss Hat
tie NJ. Conant, an aged invalid, was
burned to death in a fire which de-
stroyed the Brookside Invalids' Home
today. Her nurse, Miss Grace Russ,
nearly lost her own life in attempting
to save her patient. Five other wo-
men patients were rescued by nurses.
The blaze is believed to have orig
mated in the room of Miss Conant
Miss Russ broke in the dor and had
dragged her charge into the hallway
when the woman, whose mind was
somewhat affected, broke away from
her and rushed back into the flames.
In her struggle Miss Russ was badly
burned and inhaled considerable smoke
and had difficulty in escaping from
the building. Meantime the other
nurses removed their patients and un-
successfully fought the fire with hand
extinguishers. The home was in a re-
mote section between North Leominster
and Lunenburg, and was in ashes be-
fore outsid hip arrivd.

BASEBALL NOTES.

1t would seem like baying the moon
for the Federals to open negotiations
with Christy Mathewson, but you new
er can tell.
G. Lacy Crawford, part owner of
the ST. Louis Nationals, died at his
home in st. Louis Thursday from a
throat affection. He was 4S years old.
Jimmy Callahan of the White Sox
will never leave Ireland without kiss
ing the Blarney Stone. A baseball
manager should have all the powers
the kissing of the Blarney Stone is
said to confer upon one-and a few
others.
Pres. John K. Tener of the National
League, is playing safe card la
Ban Johnson, If, as is reported, he is
insisting that the new president of the
Cubs must have his OK. He does
not wish to take chances on another
possible Murphy.
Jack Coombs, the big pitcher of Con-
ME Macks Athletics, whom all good
fans hope to see back in the game this
year, has taken to the rostrum. AS
favor to his college mate at Colby,
Principal Jonn B. Pugsley of the SOM
ersworth, N. H., High school, he gave
a talk on Inside Baseball to the Sc
niors at an entertainment held Tues
day night and made hit.
Joe Woodman, who has just return
ed from Paris, leaving France, how
ever, before the arrival of the world s
baseball tourists, says that the French
people surely were honest when they
could not understand why the Chi
eago and New York clubs could not
play their ball game on muddy field.
The French sportsman, s;.ys Joe, Is
accustomed to see his horse racing, his
cross country runs, his bicycle races
and in fact, any out t-of-door athletic
competition run off on schedule time
and regardless of weather and field
conditions. He does not understand
baseball and fails to realize that the
game cannot be played successfully or
without chance for injury to the play
ers. unless the field is dry and the foot
ing secure; much less understands
that a soaking wet, or mud-coVereo
baseball cannot be thrown. The Amer
leans were right when they called OH
the game, Joe adds, but at the same
time the criticism of the French De-
cause this was done came because OF
their point of view, one to which they
have been accustomed, and because
thew did not understand that good field
and weather conditions were necessary
for their American visitors to put on
their National game.

Wickersfam Upholds Sherman
Law as Competent to Deal
With All Private Monopoly

Philadelphia, Feb. 26.-George w.
Wiekersham, former attorney general
of the United States, delivered an ad
dress tonight before the American
Academy of Political and Social
Science. His subject was The Rela
tion of the Federal Government to In
dustrial Combinations" and he spoke
in part as follows:
THE Sherman law Is adequate to
reach any private monopoly without
further legislative action. No combi
nation has been formed in the United
States since the decision in the Stand
ard Oil and Tobacco cases.
Distinction should be made between
corporations which are nothing but
devices to hold stocks of competitive
corporations and the ownership by one
corporation of stock in another made
necessary by conflicting provisions of
state laws.
THE bills pending in Congress don't
discriminate between normal processes
of necessary business cooperation and
abuses of such processes.
Constructive legislation should dis
criminate between the past and the fu-
ture.
Some property constituted admin
istrative body should be created with
power to disintegrate or readjust ex-
listing combinations SO as to create
normal competitive conditions.
Congress should declare principles
to guide such a commission, requiring
it to accomplish that result as little
injury as possible to public interests
and due regard for vested private
property rights. Mere size should not
be a criterion as to the extent or char
acter of disintregation. Relative
amount is important. No company
should be left with as large a proper
ton of the business involved as TO

MONTREAL PLANS
A HUGE EXPENSE
TO IMPROVE THE
SHIP FACILITIES

Montreal, Feb. 26.-The harbor COM
mission today made public plans for
the expenditure of $3.50 eco to i'm
prove the shipping facilities of Mon
treal.
The proposed improvements include
the construction of new freight sheds
for the weekly services of the Ham
burg American and Canadian North
ern Steamship Lines, the electrification
of the harbor railways, the elevation
of railroad tracks, the erection of
great warehouses at the foot of Mo-
reau and Beaudry streets, the exten-
sion of piers, new bridge over the
ST. Lawrence river and a new grain
elevator which would give Montreal
the largest storage capacity of any
city in the world.
Daily Kennebec journal., 1914-02-27

give it control great enough to ex-
clude sound, effective competition. Dis
elimination should be made between
corporations engaged in domestic trade
and those in foreign commerce. The
commissions decision as to the legality
of the organizations resulting from it's
action should be conclusive in favor
of the defendants and government
alike, subject only to a right of ap-
peal to courts on questions of law.
THE recommendation to further de-
fine by law the meaning of the anti
trust law is based on the msconcep-
ton of that statute bills now pending
in Congress do not tend to make GER
tain any existing uncertainties. They
introduce new questions, and would
give rise to greater uncertainty.
LEGISLATION should be enacted that
no railroad corporation shall hereafter
acquire an interest in an interstate
railroad, except upon finding of the
Interstate Commerce Commission that
such acquisition would not unduly re-
strain interstate commerce. Railroad
companies should then be exempted
from the Sherman antitrust law.
Control of the commission over
rates and practices Of railroads is so
comprehensive that reason for sub
jecting interstate carriers to the anti
trust law no longer exists.
"All pending proposed legislation
adds restrictions, imposes conditions
upon corporations; tells them what
they shall not do. The problem OF the
relation of the federal government to
cooperative industrial business can't
satisfactorily solved until the Con-
gress legislatives affirmatively, de-
clares what can be done, and throws
the protection of the national govern
ment<about those who act in conform
ity with it's laws"
Daily Kennebec journal., 1914-02-27

Washington, Feb. 26.-Representa-
tive Kahn, Republican of California,
lin an address in the House today ex-
pressed the hope that the administra-
Ftion's Mexican policy soon would give
Eway to a new one which would bring
about peace and tranquility in the
Southern republic. While opposing
harmed intervention he asserted that
1.-THE present policy unless speedily
land radically changed, must inevitably
Head to armed intervention"
The fact that it became necessary
to issue a proclamation removing the
tembargo on arms to be shipped into
Mexico, Representative Kahn said, Is
practically an admission of the fall
lure of the policy of "watchful wait
ling" Deadly drifting is much
Lmore accurate description of the ad-
|ministrations policy. And since the
|embargo has been removed, what has
happened? Additional murder, addi-
Itional iawlessness, for which we are
probably responsible.
Representative Kahn urged that con-
|tinued efforts be made to restore peace
in Mexico. He expressed the belief
that if this government were to in
vite the cooperation of Argentina,
Brazil and Chile in an effort to solve
the Mexican difficulty, peace and or
der soon woul be restored in that
Iceuntry.

SCHOOL TEACHER MUST
ACTUALLY PERFORM DUTIES

Boston. Feb GA school committee
has no legal right to pay teacher for
services not actually performed, the fun
bench of the supreme court decided to-
day. The matter came up in suit which
Hobart X. Whitaker, school teacher OF
Salem, brought against the city TO com
spel it to fulfil the agreement of the school
committee which gave him a vacation
with half pay for one year because of
,iilness brought on by extra work he per-
formed in equipping new school build
ing. The city treasurer refused to pay
Whitaker.
In the opinion of the court written by
Chief Justice Rugg, 1t is beyond the pow
= er of any board of public officers or of
the city itself by a general vote to grant
"A gratuity. Municipalities have no power
to appropriate money as gifts to any per-
sons. no matter how strongly public SYM
,pathy may be moved in their favor.

IRep. Kahn Scores the Wilson
Policy of "Watchful Waiting'
AS One of "Deadly Drifting''

He did not want to see armed inter-
vention in Mexico, he said, contending
that the United States had no right
to do so, adding:
ITO my mind all of Mexico would
not repay the tears of the widows nor
the waiting of the orphans that would
result in consequence of our armed
Intervention"
The jingoists Of foreign lands" said
Mr.. Kahn, ARE the real menace-if
there be any menace anywhere.
Our own past experience ought to
determine our course in voting rea
sonable appropriations for the army
and navy in times of profound peace"
Mr.. Kahn declared.
Discussing the Monroe doctrine,
which, he said had come to stay, Mr..
Kahn said the time also had come
when this. government should invite
to conferences on questions affecting
the welfare of the states on the Am
erican hemisphere those Latin-Ameri-
can republics whose governments are
stable, such as Argentina, Brazil, and
Chile. The cooperation with us of
these states in extending the hand of
friendship and fellowship for the am
icable settlement Of difficulties that
confront the inna bitants of any Latin
American republic" he declared. will
have Il great influence in esta blishing
stable government in all of the Re-
publics Of the western continents"

VAIN STRUGGLE
TO AGREE UPON
LASTPOINTS OF
RAILROAD BILL

Washington, Feb. 26.-Conferees of
the Senate and House on points at is
sue on the Alaskan Railroad bill tried
vainly today to reach an agreement as
to the method of financing the pro-
posed government enterprise. Although
1t had been understood that the SEN
ate members of the committee would
accept the action of the House in elm
mating from the bill the provision for
u $40, 900, 900 bond issue, they were in
ciined today to insist upon retaining
this feature. The senators argued that
a bond issue would be resorted to only
in the event that funds from the treas
'ury We're not available, but the House
conferees opposed the proportion on
the general ground that bond issues
were expensive and the governmnt
should avoid them whenever possible.

Under the Light at

New York, Feb. 26.-Charles F. Muir

tribution of the late Anthony n. Bra
dy, in 1912, as Murphy said he did,
according to the sworn testimony to-
day of William Sulzer. deposed gov
ernor of New York. Sulzer, wit
ness today for the second time at the
John Doe inquiry into political graft,
testified Murphy had told him he had
turned the $4,000 over TO the Demo-
cratic State Commission. He added
that Murphy also said that he had fix
ed it" so that it would be reported
in the committees list of campaign
contributions under the name of
dummy. This is the $4,000 which Sui
zer says was first offered to him and
which he refused to accept.

Antarctic Explorer Returns to
Australasia-.SuccessfulExp Expedition

The original expedition under DR.. Doug
las Mawson left Hobart, Tasmania, on
Dec. 2, 1911, its principal object being the
exploration and survey of the Antarctic
coast line,
Two of the members, Lieutenant MINIS
of the British army and Dr. Herr,
Swiss, met with death by accident.
When the Aurora went to fetch the ex-
plorers back from the Antarctic early last
year the vessel was forced to leave be-
fore taking on board DR.. Mawson and five
of his COMPANIONS. 1t is this party which
has now returned.
