of a fashionable hotel at Easter sea-

day here with his family, little trou-
bled by the throng of people. To-
night he and the family accepted the
invitation of the Princeton University

attend their concert.
A Princeton locomotive cheer rang
through the ball room as the Presi-

Mr.. Wilson golfed early in the day,
shortly after his train arrived and be-
fore the fashionable colony had arous-
ed itself from its slumberS. He play

the hills with vigorous stride. The
Wilson family took their meals in
their apartment. In the afternoon the

AS the Fairfield sanatorium has
grown from mere ideas into one of
the largest institutions of it's kind in
the country, so has the enthusiasm
over the splendid work that has been
accomplished during the past year, for
at the annual meeting of the Central
Maine Association for the Relief and
Treatment of tuberculosis, held in the
city council rooms, there was interest
and enthusiasm plus. Those who were
present took up the work with spir-
it of get something done" that SEEM
ed to take a hold of everyone from
the president of the association to the
newspaper reporter. The reports of
the various officers showed that WON
derful progress has been made; that
many cures have been effected and
there is still opportunity to do more.
The election of officers, which came
as the last business of the meeting
resulted in the following being chosen
for the ensuing year: Governor Will

CANDIDATE And
IS PREPARING
ANNOUNCEMENT

Bath, Me-, April 1o.-(SpeciaD Al
though it is a fact that Hon. Harold
M. Sewall Of this city will become a
candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation for congressman from the
Second Maine District, his formal an
nouncement will not be made until
tomorrow, possibly not until Saturday
night
Mr.. Sewall has been a busy man to-
day. He arrived at his Office at an
early hour preparing to plunge into
his formal announcement but was con-
tinually interrupted at frequent inter-
walls either by friends who called to
express congratulations upon his can
didacy, or by telephone and telegraph
congratulatory messages. His mail al
so showed wonderful increase
throughout the day.
Mr. Sewall believes that the time
has arrived when all Republicans and
all others believing in the principles
of the Republican party should unite
in defeating Congressman McGillicud-
dy who, Mr.. Sewall believes, is lax in
many important matters facing Con-
gress, but primarily those matters eff
fecting shipping. To this end he will
wage an aggressive though dignified
campaign. His friends are awaiting his
announcement with a great deal of
interest, believing as they do that 1t
will contain much interesting reading.

CONTROVERSY
over TOLLS
is HELD UP
Lack of Witnesses
Forces A Delay
Until Monday
Probably Will Not Reach The
Senate fOr Two Weeks

Washington, April Reconsideration
by the Senate committee on inter
oceanic canals of the proposed repeal
of Panama canal tell exemption for
American ships was interrupted today
by lack of witnesses and further form
al discussion of the issue was post
poned until Monday. In the meantime,
opponents of the repeal intend to has
ten the arrival of representatives of
Pacific coast commercial bodies in or
der that they may appear before the
committee to voice the sentiment of
their constituencies against the admin
istration policy. Senator O'Gorman,
chairman of the committee and the
leader of Democratic opposition to
exemption repeal, spent part OF the
day going over the records in the
state department relating to the ne
gotiation of an unratified treaty with
Colombia, in which was a clause, re-
ported to have been consented to by
Great Britain, granting Colombia use
of the Panama canal free of tolls for
coastwise ships. These records, it was
said tonight, disclosed only that Col
ombia was to have had use of the
canal free of tolls for war vessels, of
which the South American Republic
has few.
1t was apparent tonight that the
tolls controversy probably would not
come formally before the Senate for
two weeks.

SIGHT OF SEAL
PELTS THOUGHT
FROM STEAMER
LOST IN THE ice

st. Johns, N. F., April 10.-Seal pelts
thought to have come from the miss
ing sealing steamer Southern Cross
were sighted today 70 mites south of
st. Mary's Bay by the steamer Kyle.
which has been searching the coast
for a week.
The pelts are skins which have been
roughly removed and to which con-
siderable fat usually adheres, causing
them to float readily. 1t is believed
that they either were washed from
the decks of the Southern Cross or
fioated to the surface after she went
down. None of the sealing fleet which
came in last week from the st. Law
renee grounds, where the Southern
Cross had been seal huntin, lost any
pelts off the southern coast
The Kyle reported by wireless that
she would continue the search in the
vicinity, although the weather was
foggy at the time. ST. Mary's Bay is
on the southern coast.

Washington, April 10.-Vain efforts
were made by the Interstate Com
merce Commission at public hear
ing today to obtain details of finan-
cial transactions between the New
York, New Haven & Hartford Rail-
road and its subsidiary, the New Eng
land Navigation Co., and the so-called
Billiard Co. through which millions
of dollars are alleged to have been
improperly perverted from the New
Haven. Witness after witness refused
point blank to testify to any of the
affairs of the Billiard CO., or to produce
any of the books, records or agree

corning its financial transactions.
