The Il lawyers wanted as witnesses were
all employed by this firm, according to
the district attorney. Their subpoenas
called upon them for the production of all
records and other documents employed in
the title searching proceedings
The district attorneys office says it
has reason to suspect that both duplica

are involved.
Should any evidence of wrongdoing be
brought to light. it will be placed before
the grand jury which is now investigating
other phases of so-called aqueduct graft.
Several witnesses testified today in rela-

the Boston & Maine has operated in
that part of New England, New
Hampshire has enacted many laws
which may have an effert upon the
proposed agreement. Mr.. Niles was in

to lend what aid he could in solving
the New Hampshire phase of the prob

Mr.. Gregory did not have an oppor-

Washington, Feb 19.-New light
was thrown upon the complexities of
the task of separating the Boston 81
Maine Railroad from the New Haven
system at the department of justice
today when Rep. stevens of New
Hampshire and Chairman E. c. Niles
of that states Public Service Com
mission, told officials how Boston &
Maine affairs are interviewer with the
laws of that state and how the peo-
pie are interested in everything which
concerns that road.
Although no appointments have
been made for the appearance of rep
resentatives of other states at the de-
partment, it is possible that before the
terms of the separation agreement are
ratified the whole of New England will
have participated in the negotiations.
At the conference today the depart
ment was represented by T. w. Greg
ory and Jesse C. Adkins the attorneys
in charge of the case. New Hampshire,
they were told, is almost as much in

COmmissiOnership
More Uncertain. y
On Way 10 Washington TO Take
Up Burke Charges.

New York, Feb. 19.-Col. George w.
Goethals, builder of the Panama ca
nal, arrived on board the steamer Me-
tapan from Colon today. made non
commital answers to questions about
a letter brought to him from Mayor
John Purroy Mitchell, leaving the
question of his acceptance of the New
York police commissionership more
uncertain than ever, and announced
his intention of taking the first train
to Washington.
Blunt questions and ingeniously de-
vised queries about the police com
missionership alike brought one inva-
riable answer: Il have nothing to
say on the subject of the police COM
mission"
The first person to greet Col. Goeth-
ais, after the revenue cutter officers
boarded the ship Robert Binskert, was
the secretary of the City Club with a
letter from Mayor Mitchell. The Colonel
said he did not expect to see the
mayor.
The business that took him to
Washington was, he said, the re-or
ganiZaton of the government of the
canal zone and especially the disposal
of the charges made against John
Burke, manager of the commissary de-
partment of the Panama Railroad.
Burke has not tssn accused of mis-
appropriation of funds as has been
said, but of accepting bonuses from
companies to which contracts had
been awarded" said Col. Goethals.

OF THE
K. OF P. START
AND STRUGGLE
FOREXISTENCE

Created by the fertile brain and
tireless activity of Justus II. Hath
bone, born in Oneida county, N. "
in 1889, the knights of Pythias, now
one of the foremost fraternal organ
izations in the country, struggled
through the first year of its life in
Washington, D. c., and at the end of
1864 consisted of three lodges boast
ing a total membership of rs. Since
that time, in spite of the bitter op-
position it encountered in its infancy,
the organization has grown and wax
ed strong until at the present day 1t
consists of 7716 lodges and has to-
tai membership exclusive of affiliated
organizations, of 1864. Including
the affiliated associations and the wo-
men members the number enrolled un-
der the banners of this vast army
reaches mark considerably over
twelve millions.
The spirit of the order is symbolized
by the three letters inscribed on the
shields and badges worn by the
Knights everywhere, these letters
stand for those very things which have
made the order what it is today after
so years of wonderful growth and in
crease in power and scope of etficien-
cy as a fraternal organization, Friend
ship, Charity and Benevolence. The
story of Damon and Pythias first sug-
gested the idea to the founder of the
order and with the end in view that an
organization should be founded with
the spirit of faithful and undying
friendship as its chief incentive he
went to work and the result is the
great Pythian association of the pres
ent now nearing the million mark in
membership.
In the State of Maine this order has

Bath Welcomes Judge Dunton First Meeting of County

Bath, Me-, Feb. 19.-(SpeciaD D.-Nev-

The nomination of former Judge Ar
thur ]. Dunton as the Republican can
didate for mayor last night is meet

end of the city to the other, while
Judge Dunton's letter of acceptance
made public today is of the manly sort
written by a public spirited business
man who has the welfare of all the
people of his home city at heart.

Adaptiont Decisions
Acknowledgements
Court to Avoid Any
Complication.
Object Of Conference with The
Attorney General.

Washington Feb. 19.-President
Wilson desires that the proposed bills
dealing with the trust problem be so
phrased and adapted to the decisions
already rendered by the supreme court
of the United States on the Sherman
antitrust law that the efficiency of
that statute shall be neither impaired
nor complicated, but properly supple
mented.
Callers at the White House today
were told by the President that this
was the principal object of his con-
ference last night with Attorney Gen
eral McReynolds. He explained that
the attorney general. whose advice was
being sought by the Congressional
committees, had given him a detailed
idea of the exNnt to which some of
the things new proposed might con-
fiet with the Sherman law.
The President regards the bill Great
ing an Interstate Trade Commission
as the central figure of the trust pro-
gram. He said q recent study of the
statute creating the bureau of cor

bureau had much greater powers than

Congressional Inquiry Proposed by Rep Manahan Hits at
Organizations in Chicago, Duluth and Min

Washington, Feb 19.-Congressional
inquiry into the organization and OPP
erations Of the Chicago and Duluth
Boards of de and the Minneapolis
Chamber of Commerce, to determine
their influence over wheat 2nd flour
prices in ii e country was proposed in
a resolution introduced today by Rep.
Manahan Of Minnesota. The resolution
was referred to- the rules committee
and Rep. Manahan announced his in
tention of pressing for a hearing be-
fore that committee at the earliest
possible GATE.
1.-THE cost OF living has not respond
ed to the general reduction in tariff
rates" declared the preamble to the
resolution 'and does not yield to the
steadily falling prices received by
farmers for their products. The worlds
demand fer wheat and the consump-
tion thereof so closely balance its pro-
duction from year to year that there
is not legitimate occasion for violent
fluctuations in the price Of that ne
cessity."
1.-THE constantly changing price to
the farmer, and the continued high
price to the consumer, 1t was assert
ed, are due to the manipulations of
