endorsing Governor Haines, does not
Women's Christian Temperance Tn
ion,'' said Mrs. Althea Quimby, State
president of the w. C. T. u, today. 81
have received letters from every 9TH
er county in the State, and they show
that with the single exception of
Washington county resolutions en-
dorsing Gov. Haines and approving of
his enforcement of the prohibitory law
have been adopted. Lack of action in
that county does not represent the
sentiment of the Union, even of Wash
ington county. The committee on res
olutions, when it presented it's report,
had one resolution along the same
lines of those which the other counties
of the State had adopted. A powerful
member of the Union, whose husband
is politician opposed to the rerelec-
ton of Governor Haines, took the floor
in opposition to the adoption of the
Haines resolution and in order that the
harmony of the meeting might not be
disturbed, the committee itself with
drew the resolution which it had re-
ported. But this fact does not indicate
a general hostility to the Governor
among the Washington county I'm
ions"
Mrs. Gertrude Stevens Leavitt of
Portland, daughter of the late Mrs.
Stevens, who is editor Of the State of
fetal organ of the w. C. II. u, said
in response to a question today that
the sentiment of the Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union of Maine is
strongly in favor of the reelection of
Governor Haines and opposed to the
program of the license party. Some
of cur critics say that we are partisan
in this particular" went on Mrs.
Leavitt, but if we are partisan, ev-
cry religious denomination in the State
is equally guilty and so is the Grange,
all of whom endorse the prohibitory
law and its enforcement. The report
given out that the Washington county
convention adopted a resolution con-
demning Governor Haines is not in
accordance iwth my information. A
long account of the doings of the con-
vention has been received by me and
this account does not refer to the
adoption of a resolution in any form
dealing with the State administration. +"

DISSOLUTION SUIT AGAINST
NEW HAVEN EXPECTED TO
COME DURING NEXT WEEK
Negotiations Between Road and Department
OF Justice Believed to Be at an End-Bill
Complete and Whole Case to Be Placed Be-
fore President Wilson

Washington July T.-Negotiations
between the New Haven Railroad and
the department of justice to effect a
peaceful dissolution of that system
apparently came to an end today and
unless there are unforeseen develop
ments, the government will file its
Sherman law suit to force a dissolu-
ton next week. The bill against the
New Haven virtually is complete, and
finishing touches will be put upon it
Immediately. Before it is filed Attor-
ney General McReynolds will confer
with President Wilson, lay the whole
New Haven case before him and ask
for Presidential approval.
McReynolds Hesitates
Mr. McReynolds is understood to be
loath to take the case into court, but
to feel that there is no other solution
of the problem of untangling the New
Haven. His ears are not closed to fur
Their negotiation with railroad officials,
but 1t was the opinion at the depart
ment today that the New Haven has
rested it's case. Official notice of the
action of the directors in New York
yesterday, refusing to accept the con-
ditions laid down by Massachusetts
for the sale of its Boston e. Maine
stock came during the day.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1914-07-18

There was no intimation of any plan
for complying with the governments
demand that the Boston Sc Maine stock
be sold and it was the general feel
ing that only the conference between
the President and the attorney general
remains before the filing of the bill. 1t
became known tonight that the New
Haven is not expected to offer any
great resistance to the suit. 1t was
reported that the governments bill
might not be fought at all and the New
Haven might even go so far as to APP
pear in court, confess judgment and
put 1t up to the court to determine
whether a dissolution should be order
ed. This would contribute to speedy
determination of the case in the dis
trict court. So far as the department
is concerned, it IS understood that
when suit is begun ii will be pressed
to q conclusion as rapidly as possible.

No One Killed

So far as can be ascertained, no one
was killed or wounded in the fight
ing, which began shortly after day
break and continued until late today,
when the mine guards retreated after
their ammunition was exhausted.
The rioters held possession of the
mines for several hours, wrecking the
plants with torch and explosives. Coun-
ty officials went TO the scene late to-
DAY, but before they arrived the at
taclSing party had dispersed.
Todays rioting was a elimination
of disturbances. in connection with
the shooting up of union mine camp,
which have occurred at intervals
since the contract with the United
Mine Workers was abrogated last
March, and announcement made that
the properties owned by the Bache-
Denman Coal Co., but under lease to
the Mammoth Vein CO., would be OPP
Grated on an open shop basis.

Manchester, N. H., July H.
The attempt of Miss Annie Bur-

boat in which were her sister,
Mrs. Minnie Mills of South Mer-
rimack, the latter's two children
and her four-year-old niece,

five today.
The accident occurred in Ma

Reeds pond, in South Merri-
mack.
The home of Mrs. Mills adj
joins the lake and the party had
gone there to give Miss Burrans
an opportunity to swim, and to
allow the children to wade. Miss
Burrans had been swimming for
some time, while her sister and
three children rowed slowly
about in the boat. Two broth
ers of Miss Burrans, Fred and
Sanborn, remained, ashore.
Miss Burrans grasped the
stern of the flat-bottomed boat
to get in. She had difficulty in
getting over the side and forced
the stern down.
The children became excited
and ran toward her-the added
weight causing the boat to set
tie fast and soon it had sunk.
