Dear M. BIS.
Have you heard unusual noises the past
week. 1t was Dell singing and shouting over
the election news. Just think Four states
went dry at one election; so soon after vir.
ginia went dry in September Five in one
year, and great gains in other. Who could
help singing, even II they did not bother
about time or tune And part Of that noise
was because two states voted equal suffrage
to the women. Now eleven states have full
suffrage; twenty-five others some form of
suffrage Just you think Of I'll
took trip last Friday to North Ellsworth.
Went to the wooden mill, then on two miles
farther and took dinner with an old friend Of
my girlhood - Maria L. Gray, formerly, Of
Penobscot. Then visited the home Of H.
Fremont Maddocks. He has more than
400 barrels of apples in his cellar. besides
other farm produce. He drives into his
cellar with two-horse team. We were
shown over his newly rebuilt home, and pro-
nounced it pleasant call - especially the
apples, as we came away with q generous
sample.
We arrived at our homes Just as the shades
Of night began TO fail. BY "we", include
Mrs. NJ. r. Sinclair, by whose kindness took

HINTS.

To remove ink stains from linen, cut
lemon and squeeze the juice at once on
the stain, then rub with common yellow
soap and rinse in cold wator. The effect
is almost magical, but it is essential that
the remedy be applied at once. Another
idea, when ink is spilled ON linen, is to
put it in melted taliow. The hot tallow
seems to absorb the ink, and, after wash
iLg in not water, the stain will usually
disappear.
Equal parts OF ammonia and spirits Of
turpentine will take paint out OF cloth
ing no matter how dry or hard paint may
be. Saturste the spot two or three times,
then wash out in soap suds.
TO KEEP MICE AWAY.
Cayenne pepper sprinkied freely in
cuppoards and shelves which mice are
known to frequent will aid considerably
in preventing them from gpoiling gar
ments. Lumps OF camphor placed among
clothes are also most useful as Q means OF
soaring away mice. L. II. T.

Washington.-Attacking the admin

bill on the floor of the senate, Senator
Reed of Missouri, democratic member
of the Judiciary committee, urged that
the interstate commerce and judiciary
committees should get together to
work out the trust legislation jointly,
with a view of consolidating all pend
ing measures on the subject.
Senator Reeds attack, directed par
ticularly at the section relating to
unfair competition" was followed by
assaults from other members of the
judiciary committee, and later it de-
veloped that an unsuccessful effort
had already been made by the inter
state commerce committee to have the
judiciary committee cooperate with

Georgia we're reported to have looked
with favor on the suggestion, but 9TH

NEWHAvEN CONTROL SCORED
Commission Says Stockholders Lost
Over $6o,o0o,o0o = Criminal
Negligence"

Washington. - The story Of the
reckless and profligate" financial op-
e~rations of the New Haven railroad,
one of the most remarkable chapters
in the history Of American railroad
and American finance, was revealed
in part by the interstate commerce
commission in a report of the senate
of it's investigation Of that road.
1t told of millions used like. stage
money, Of corporations as pawhs In a
monster game with all New England's
transportation as a prize, which led
the New Haven in the ten years just
passed from the height of prosperity
to the point where a dividend has been
passed, where a dissolution suit is
threatening and where criminal in
dictments Of many of the directors
who figured in deals are at least a
possibility.
Hampered by unwilling witnesses,
by burned books and by all the means
which lawyers invented to cover the
trail, the commission estimated that,
in the progress toward monopolization
of New England transportation the
New Haven stockholders have lost be-
tween $65, OOO, 900 and $50, 0 5000, but
little Of which they may recover.

HOT FIGHT STAGED ON JONES

~ serve Board opposed-Lead:
ers Are Confident.

Washington.-The senate in execu-
tive session fought for five hours over
the issue of making public testimony
of Thomas D. Jones of Chicago, nomi-
nee for member Of the federal eserv
board before the banking and currency
committee, which last week voted not
to recommend his confirmation.
Nothing was accomplished in the
long debate, at times heated, and fur
Their consideration was deferred until
majority and minority reports of the
banking committee are submitted.
Opponents of Mr.. Jones' confirma-
ton, who base their fight on the fact
that he is a director Of the Interna-
tional Harvester company, under in
dictment by the government, sought
to have the record Of the committee
hearing in the case made a matter Of
public record. Senator Stone imme-
diately insisted on an executive ses-
sion and the doors were closed.
Then Senator Hitchcock, acting
chairman of the banking and currency
committee, made the suggestion in the
form of a motion, urging necessity for
publicity in view Of the controversy
that has arisen, with several demo
cratic senator's openly fighting Presi.
dent Wilson's candidate for the post.

WASHINGTON IS PLEASED
Believe Huerta's Resignation Means
Peace in MeMco-Won't Recog.
nize Carbajal.

Observation-Disclosures Of Gen. Huerta's
resignation as provisional president or
Mexico was hailed by official Wash
ington as the first practical step to-
ward a quick solution Of the Mexican
problem. Constitutional diplomats
and officials of the United States were
elated over Gen. Huerta's voluntarily
Withdrawing and predicted an era OF
peace In his country.
Although the constitutionalists have
declared they would not recognize
Francisco Carbajal as provisional pres
ident, and the United States govern
ment likewise will refuse to recognize
him, the understanding here is that
the new executive will hold office only
until arrangements can be made for
the entry Of Gen. Carranza, the consti-
nationalist chief.
Diplomats in close touch with the
situation declare Carbajal and those
who are associated with him In an ef-
fort to restore peace desire only a
general amnesty, conserving the lives
and property Of Huerta's supporters.
With this obtained, the peaceful entry
into the Mexican capital of constitu-
.tionalist troops will be negotiated.
Gen. Huerta's retirement came just
as the constitutionalists were prepar.
ing their formal note declining partici-
patton in informal conferences with
Huerta representatives to discuss in
ternal Mexican questions.

''soCIOPATH" IS DISCOVERED
New Type of Mental Defective De.
scribed by NeuroIogist-Bewil-
dered by Existence.

Chicago.-A new type of mental de-
fectives, victims Of the complex life
in a modern metropolis, has been dis
covered by DR.. William J: Hickson, in
charge of the psychological laborato-
ry Of the municipal court. He calls
them "sociapaths."
These unfortunates, DR.. Hickson
explained in a speech at the meeting
of ~alienists and neurologists, comprise
those who drift about in the lowest
class Of clerical and mechanical jobs
in the cities, frequently out OF. work
and never lasting more than a few
weeks at any work they undertake.
Never strong mentally, he declared,
they usually are bewildered by the
mere complexities of life and the
struggle for existence.

Cairo, Ill.-The announcement of
Vice-Presfdent R. V. Taylor Of the
Mobile & Ohio. that his company has
set aside 5000, 900 to build q bridge
across the Ohio river at Cairo, marks
a split between the Mobile & Ohio and
the Illinois Central, whose bridge the
M. & o. used to cross the river here.
Under the existing contract the M. &
O. pays the Illinois Central a cent a
hundred for ALI freight crossing the
bridge. The M. & o. has always in
terpreted this contract to mean rev
nue. producing freight and not to In
clude company freight, which they
termed supplies. The Illinois Central
learned Of the practice, 1t is said,
through a discharged clerk Of the M.
& o. and presented the claim for $780,
900 back pay. The Mobile & Ohio re-
fused to pay the claim, and resorted to
the arbitration agreement in the con-
tract. The matter was submitted to q
commission consisting Of President l..
E. Johnson Of the Norfolk & Western,
President F. A. Delano of the Wabash
and Comptroller F. Nay Of the Rock
Island, who heard testimony and de-
cided for the M. & O., holding, how
ever, that the wording Of the contract
was not clear and that the Illinois Cen
trail could collect bridge tolls on Mo-
bile & Ohio freight after notifying
them of it's intention to do SO. The IL
linois Central Immediately advised the
Mobile & Ohio to this effect. For the
past seven years it is said that the
money paid the Illinois Central by the
Mobile & Ohio for the use Of the
bridge would pay 6 per cent interest
on their whole investment. The Mo-
bile & Ohio recently made soundings
of the river here to determine If a
suitable crossing could be found.

THAW GETS A BIG INCOME
Awarded Income From Estate Of Fa-
ther After Legal Battle-Trust
Company Beaten.

.Pjttsburgh.-After a six months le-
gal battle, Harry X. Thaw, in a court
decision, was awarded the income
from hts fathers estate, denied him
by the trustees since he was adjudged
insane for Staying Stanford White.
BY the decision Thaw gets $3.50, 773.
Judge James w. Over held that Thaw
is entitled to the money, despite the
fact that alienists declare Thaw is
suffering from an exaggerated n
of self which would make it unwise
to commit any large sums of money
into his personal charge.
The fight for the income began last
January, when Thaw filed a petition
asking for 100000 to defray legal ex-
penses. The Fidelity Title & Trust
company of Pittsburgh, trustees, took
exception. The court allowed the Pc
tition. The trust company then was
permitted to send ~alienists to examine
Thaw, claiming he was insane. Thaw
refused to submit to an examination,
It is said. The trust company then
asked that Thaw be compelled to sub
NIT. The demurrer to this motion,
filed by Thaw's attorneys, was sus-
tanned.

He intimated that he would much rath'

strong behest Of his friends, has been
thrown around him. He shows no anx-

and made il plain that he would much

At a late hour the city was quiet.

of Mexico may have been wrested

acceptance of the House measure, the
one that imposes a nominal tax on

of the measure and their reasons for

upon the suggestion of the depart
ment so as to assure the growers OF
cotton that the largest possible per-
centage of the crop will be delivered
on contracts.
Senator Smith of Georgia, who isa

of opposition on the subject, said that

The 90 Western Lines involved in
Wage Controversy Must Acoede
To Avoid Strike.

Observation-Disclosures between the
managers committee and engineers
and firemsn of the SO railroads west
Of Chicago will not be reopened, except
at the request of the roads, represen-
tatives of the men announced.
Backed by a nearly unanimous vote
for q strike, the men now hold that
only by the railroads yielding can a
strike that might become the most ex-
tensive and disastrous in American
railroading be- averted.
The result of the referendum vote
will be presented to the general man
ayers committee in writing.
The engineers said they had ex-
hausted every effort to avert a strike,
and that effective means to force the
railroads to action would follow unless
a favorable reply was received soon.
The railroads, through their general
managers committee, contend that to
grant the employees demands would
mean an increase Of $3.50 900 an
nually in wages. The engineers and
firemen say that their requests are
fair and equitable.
1t is expected that further confer
ences will be held. Should negotia-
lions fail and the employees stand by
their announcement, the resulting
strike would directly affect $4,000 en-
gineers and firemen and indirectly q
much larger number of workers.
