Officers and Men Trapped
In English Submarine Boat

again at daylight tomorrow and in the
hope that the submarine will be found,
a boat capable of lifting her to the
surface has been ordered to White
Sand bay.
The "A-7" was in charge of Lieut..
Gilbert M. Welman, who had as an
aide another officer. A number OF the
seamen aboard were making their first
trip in a submarine.
The cause of the accident is not
known. Whether the submarines ma
chinery became disabled or whether
she tore hole in herself on some
sunken object is the merest specula-
ton. Naval officers estimate that In
case the vessels hull has not been
punctured the men on board her might
live at least IL hours beneath the
water.
This is the sixth submarine of class
"A" which has come to grief and the
question is being raised here whether
the government ought not to abandon
this type of boat in favor of the more
modern vessels of the &c" and d.
classes. The AT" was built in 1904
and measured $50 feet in length. Her
submerged displacement was 204 tons.
Her engines developed 600 horse pow
er. which gave her a surface speed of
16 knots and a submerged speed of
8 knots.

In Bath Growing Strongly
For the Republicans.
Good Prospects for Election Of
Their MayoraIty Candidate.
Local Conditions Not Satisfactory
And Change May Be Made.

Bath, Me-, Jan. 16.-(Special).-
From present indications Bath is 60
ing to have a Republican mayor dur
ing the coming year. The tide of pub
lie sentiment is turning toward Repub-
licanism stronger and stronger each
week. To be sure there is a Repub-
lican control of the city government,
but the rank and file of the party will
not feel satisfied until one of their own
political belief Is placed In the mayor
atty chair again.
The past year has been an expensive
one for local taxpayers, the rate be-
ing higher than ever before in the his
tory of the city. Sidewalks are In a
wretched condition, although new
piece of sewer was put in the business
district last summer in addition to
work done last fall on the continua-
tion of the new piece of State road.
The announcement of George NJ.
Stinson Of Woolwich that he is to be-
come a candidate at the primaries for
the Republican nomination for county
commissioner, has been received with
pleasure. The term of Chairman A. 3.
Thwing of Woolwich, one of the two
Democratic members Of the board, ex-
pires this year. Edwin NJ. Brown of
Topsham will be Republican candi-
date for the nomination for register
Of deeds and 1t is generally understood
that Franklin p. Sprague of this city
will also be candidate for this NOM
ination. It is generally understood
that there will be two candidates at
least for the Republican nomination
for clerk Of courts. Sheriff Wilbur c.
Oliver. who has cleaned up conditions
in Sagadahoc county and practically
shut Off the liquor traffic. will be a
Republican candidate for the nomina-
ton next June.
There is lots of enthusiasm and Re-
publicans In general are realizing that
in order to save the party they must
cast a big vote for mayor.

WILSON AND STANLEY
HAVE A GREAT IDEA.
The KentuCkian COnfers with Presi=
dent==They Agree toHaveRestraint
OF Trade ''In Any Degree" Pre-
vented by Congressional Action.

"The provision in section four OF
the present act, requiring all actions
to be brought by the attorney gener-
AL" he said, has done more to rem
der the Sherman antitrust act inef-
fective than almost any other thing.
The Sherman act has at times been
dead letter because some attorney gen
eral happened to regard it with indif-
ference or hostility.
THE merger of the Tennessee Coal
and Iron Co. and the United states
Steel Corporation in my opinion would
have been impossible had it not been
for the fact that President Roosevelt
advised the attorney general not take
action in the matter and no other OF
fetal could. The industries which are
affected by combinations in restraint
of trade are the first to take notice OF
the violation of the Sherman act, ana
they should have the same right to
invoke the court to protect them from
the menace of monopoly that they onw
have to protect themselves from injury
at the hands of an individual"
AS it is proposed to amend 1t, this
section of the Sherman act would
read:
"The several circuit courts of the
United States are hereby invested with
Jurisdiction to prevent and restrain vi
olations of this act and it shall be
the duty OF THE SEVERAL DIS
TRICT ATTORNEYS OF THE UNIT
ED STATES in their respectiveive dis
tricts to institute proceedings in equity
and restrain such violations.
such proceedings may be by way
of petition setting forth the case and
praying that such violation shall be
enjoyed or otherwise prohibited.
ANY person who shall be injured in
his business or property, or shall be
threatened with. such injury. by any
other person or corporation by rea-
son of anything forbidden or declared
to be unlawful by this act may bring
suit in equity In any district court of
the United states in the district in
which the defendant resides or is
found, to prevent and restrain VIOLA
tions of this act, and for other appro-
PIRATE relief. --e'.-.
"AIl evidence showing or tending to
show that such restraint was partial
or that it was not undue or unreason-
able. shall be admissible for the pur-
pose of determining the quantum or
damages or the character of punish
ment to be inflicted, and for no other"
The amendment will be taken up by
the judiciary committee when 1T begins
the work of drafting antitrust bills
after President Wilson had delivered
his message.
Senator Newlands, chairman of the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
which will have jurisdiction over this
legislation in the upper branch of
Congress, said today that the Demo-
cratic members of his committee would
meet to consider the proposed legis-
lation soon after the President ad-
dressed Congress.
Daily Kennebec journal., 1914-01-17

Washington, Jan. 16-Representative
Stanley Of Kentucky after a confer
ence with President Wilson introduced
late today an amendment to the Sher-
man law, which would make Illegal
the monopolization or restraint of
trade "in any degree" 1t Is designed
to eliminate the Rule of reason" laid
down by the supreme court in the
Standard Oil case.
The amendment also would invest
the circuit courts of the United States
with Jurisdiction to restrain and pre-
vent violations of the act, irrespective
of the attorney general. 1t was drawn
to meet the wish of the President, ex-
gress to reduce the debatable area
surrounding the Sherman act. Repre-
sentative Stanley discussed the meas
ure with the President today and pre-
viously had corresponded with him at
length on the subject.
The Kentucky Congressman, who
was chairman of the special commit
tee which investigated the United
States Steel Corporation. does not of
fer the measure as an administration
amendment, but believes 1t will be of
service to the committees of Congress
which will draft the antitrust legis-
lation after the Presidents special
trust message Is delivered next week.
The Stanley bill would amend the
second and fourth sections of the
Sherman law. In Section two, into
which the supreme court injected the
"Rule of reason" the words In any
degree" are inserted so that the Sec
tion would read:
Every person who shall monopolize
or attempt tc monopolize or combine
or conspire with any ther person or
persons, to monopoliZe in any degree
any part of the trade on commerce
among the several states or with for
eien nations, shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor, and on conviction
thereof. shall be punished by fine not
exceeding $4,000 or by Imprisonment not
exceeding one year or by both said
punishments, in the discretion of the
court"
Discussing that portion OF Chief
Justice Whites decision which re-
1ates to unreasonable restraint of
trade, Rep. Stanley said tonight that
he had always regarded it as unneees-
sary to the decision and, therefore, not
the law.
"Manv, however. believe" he contin-
ued, chat the effect of this decision
is to render illegal only such comoi-
nations in restraint of trade as are
unreasonable. The insertion of the
words In any degree with the other
provisions will save the law as
amendment from any such interpre-
tation and win render all restraints OF
trade Illegal"
Concerning the question OF 1urisolc-
ton in cases of violation OF the .rus'
laws. Mr.. Stanley declared that MS
amendment would make Impossible
any inaction under the act, because
remedy would be open to all.

J. C. Stewart, New York,
Lost 100000 Job.
Had Clipped 10 Democrats but
Couldn't Stand Demands.
Five Per Cent. Graft on SIS, 900, 900
Price Seemed Too Much.

New York, Jan. 16.--Evidence tending
to show that the State Canal Board in
1912 declined to award certain con-
struction contracts to James c. Stew
art sequential to his refusal to con-
tribute per cent of his $3,000,000 bid to
a "Mr. Gaffney,'' was adduced today
at District Attorney Whitman's in
quiry into political graft
Stewart was unable to tell Mr..
Whitman whether the alleged solici-
tor of the money was James E. Gaff-
ney, political and business associate
of Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam
many Hall. He said that the man had
merely introduced himself as Mr.
GafIney' and announced that he had
come to collect a contribution in view
of the bids which Stewards company
had submitted on the barge canal con-
tracts. The visitor told him, Stewart
SAID that he had come in place OF
Mr.. Carroll, who was dead and MIR
Cram, who was not collecting any
more.
Mr.. Whitman believes that the two
men referred to were the late Joseph
D. Carroll, former treasurer of Tam
many Hall, and ]. Sergeant Cram, q
prominent Tammany Hall politician.
Stewart said that he had never seen
James E. Gaffpey and did not remem-
ber the man who called upon him suf-
ffeiently we'll to describe him. He said
he resented the mans request, as he
had never before been asked to contrib
ute on account of contract and that
neither Cram nor Carroll had ever
set foot in his Office. He said he had
always contributed literally to the
Democratic party, mentioning con-
tribution of $4,000 in 1905, which he
said he paid to William j. Conners,
and smaller contributions in other
years.
The "Gaffney' visit occurred, Stewart
testified, some time after Nov. 26, 1912,
or after the election of Governor Will
liam Sulzer, and District Attorney
Whitman emphasized in this connec-
ton that there seemed to be no rea-
son for soliciting political contribu-
tion at that time.

Willing to Yield If
Children F are Well.

Mayville, N. Y, Jan. 16.-Edward
Beardsley sent out word from his bar
ricaded farm house at Summerdaie
this afternoon that he was ready to
discuss terms of surrender with the
sheriff provided that his brother Jas.
Beardsley, was brought here from IT,
tusville, to look after the children.
Sheriff Anderson believed that
Beardsley's offer was the first sincere
one he had made since he barricaded
the farmhouse after the shooting OF
Poormaster Putnam on Wednesday
afternoon and he at once sent a dep
uty to Titusville to ask the brother
to come here. In the meantime he in
structed the deputies on guard not to
fire unless Beardsley attempted to get
away. The sufferings Of the nine hun
cry and frost bitten children in the
house, the sheriff believes, drove
Beardsley to consider peaceful sur
render. Deputies Van Cise and Walk
er, who talked with Beardsley through
a broken window this afternoon, under
cover of the farmers rifle, said the
CRYING of the children was pitiable.
It was through the deputies that
Beardsley sent the terms of surrender
to the sheriff.
''Tll surrender IL you fellows allow my
brother James TO come here and take
possession of the children he said IF
you don't there'll be more trouble.
have plenty of ammunition"
While awaiting the arrival of the
brother from Titusville, Sheriff Anderson
took extraordinary precautions to prevent
Beardsleys escape. An roads in the vi
cinity of the farmhouse were patrolled
by deputies and every vehicle was halt
ed and examined before 1t was allowed
to proceed.

Billboard Eyesores
Attract Attention of Visitors

A few days ago, The Journal directed
attention to the desirability of curb
ing the extension of the billboard nui-
sance in Pensacola.
BY a singular coincidence, a letter
received simultaneously with the pub
location OF the editorial called atten-
ton to the same subject. That letter,
from a lady who has taken an inter
est in such work elsewhere, appears in
these columns today.
We want Pensacola to be beautiful.
We want 1t to be beautiful for our
own people first, but we want it's
beauty TO attract the favorable atten-
ton and comment of visitors as we'll.
we want q city that viii attract Wis
ators here, that will cause them to
praise IT 20 their friends when they
leave, and that viii induce them to
come again and bring others with them
A city free from the billboard eye
sore will have big talking point for
inducing our friends from abroad to
visit us.
And, after all, the billboard serves
no useful purpose. No one, except
those financially Interested in it, wants
the nonstrosity. Why not abolish it?

THURSDAY. JANUARY /, 1914.
Taking Stock For
The New Year.

The time OF the year is about at
hand when the men who are engaged
in business enterprises will take
stock to determine whether they have
gained or lost from a financial stand
point during the past twelve months.
Generally, stock taking follows IN
mercantile establishments soon after
the first day of the new year. The
purpose of this is several fold, the
most important, of course, being to
ascertain whether money is being made
or lost. Another purpose is to wipe
the slate as clean as possible, to start
another year with as few embarrass-
naents as possible, and to avoid the
places where mistakes had been made.
No reputable mercantile house will
attempt to do business without taking
stock at least once each year. The
risk would be too great. The owners
must know what they are doing
There is something that is even
greater than business which concerns
every Individual; in fact, without it,
there can be no successful business,
and that something is CHARACTER.
How many people stop and make an
inventory of their character for twelve
months past No doubt the number is
few, but every. man has more invested
in his character than he has in his
business, however large that business
Is.
The man who reviews his life for
twelve months past, who takes stock
of the good and the wrong that he
has done, and finds on. which side
of the ledger the balance is, Will be
sure to derive some benefit from the
inspection just as the merchant de-
rives benefit in finding how his re-
ceipts and expenditures have been for
the past year.
Character can be improved from
year to year the same as business. In
truth, like business it seldom stands
still; it either gains or loses This
being true, Is it not wen that stock
be taken OF ones own character dur
ing each year, and ain effort made to
improve it?
There is no better rule to go by in
taking stock of character than the
rule of conscience. A clear, calm con-
science will not give approval to wrong
doing aud stock can be taken and
the rule easily applied.
Many believe the world is growing
better. 1t should be doing So and
q close tab on character and con-
science, will undoubtedly help to make
It grow better.
