We||-KnoWn Gardiner Man
And Native Of Augusta.
Deputy Bank Examiner, Having
Served State Since 1895.
Was EpiscopaIian and Prominent
Church Worker for All Good.

Bangor. Me-, Jan. 1S.-(SpeciaD. -
William Grant Ellis of Gardiner, dep
uty State bank commissioner, passed
away Saturday forenoon at the East
ern Maine General hospital, Bangor,
after an illness of about two weeks,
the cause of death being acute
Bright's disease. He was stricken at
his room at the Penobscot Exchange
and conveyed shortly after to the
hospital, where little hope was enter
tanned for his recovery. The remains
were brought to Gardiner Saturday
night, accompanied by Mrs. Ellis
Funeral services will be held at 8
o'clock Tuesday afternoon at Christ
church.
Mr.. Ellis was born at Augusta in
1858 and was the son of DR.. Joseph
Willard and Anna (Farnham) Ellis,
being the only child. Dr. Ellis died
about two years after the birth of his
son, and the widow removed to Gar
diner, where she and her son have
since resided The son was educated
in the public schools of Gardiner and
attended the Gardiner High school
and the Abbott Little Blue" school
at Pennington, after which he entered
the Gardiner National Bank as clerk,
going later to the Augusta Savings
Bank.
Mr.. Ellis married Alice l., daughter
of Augustus Bailey of this city, on
May IS, 1891, who together with his
mother survive.
With the death of Mr.. Ellis passes
one of the last of the long time Of
ficials of the State, as he began his
service in 1896, being appointed dep
uty bank examiner In that year by
Hon. F. E. Undertake. His 10 years
of unbroken service has given him
wide and favorable acquaintance with
the banking interests of the State and
his accuracy as an accountant toSeth-
er with his remarkable knowledge of
the banking laws of the various states
through the nation made him a val
liable and trustworthy official.
The Episcopal church of the State of
Maine will feel the death of Mr.. Ell
lis keenly as he had given freely of
his time and talents to the church.
For nearly 20 years he had been treas
urer of the Maine Episcopal diocese
and has been the custodian of i'm
| portant church funds. For many years
he had served as treasurer Of Christ
| church, Gardiner, and as treasurer of
the Maine Episcopal Missionary So
ciety.
Mr. Ellis was genial, whole-souled
gentleman and all those who knew him
speak of his decease with feelings of
deepest sorrow. He will be much miss
ed by residents CT Gardiner.

SCORE SEAMAN'S BILL.
Boston Chamber of Commerce Says
Does Not Insure Safety at Sea.

Boston, Jan. 1s.-The seaman's bill by
which it is expected Congress will assure
provisions for greater safety at sea is
criticized in the report of a committee
of the Chamber of Commerce which was
adopted by the board of directors and
made public today.
ut appears to u.s." the committee re-
ported, that the bill does not properly
provide for safety at sea or encourage
our young men to go to sea; and by add
ing considerable extra cost to the oper-
alton of all shipping will hinder the de-
velopment of our merchant marine
In the opinion of the committee the bill
as proposed would conflict with existing
treaties and would prevent uniform rules
for safety. The establishment of a dis
eiplinary code for use on ships at sea
on the ideas of the dignity of labor and
freedom of contract is recommended in
the report

Tiger Young VS.. HUI
goKelleyWednesday.

The bouts at City hall Wednesday
are the topic for discussion in sport
ing circles generally. When Tiger
Young and Hugo Kelley, the rafting
boxer from Portland met here some
weeks ago they put up the greatest
battle ever seen in Maine. Such was
the universal opinion expressed by ey-
cry patron. Since that meeting Meth
er boy has engaged in bout and both
have been carefully preparing for
what they consider the most important
event in their respective careers. and
when the gong sounds for action on
Wednesday, neither will have any ex-
cuse to offer for defeat at the hands
of the other. As the winner Will very
likely be chosen to meet Matty Bald
win here in the near future, win
will mean considerable to either boy
both financially or otherwise. Pete F'o-
ley. the Fort Mckinley "bear-cat," will
meet Kid Denis of Waterville and this
bout alone will be good enough for a
feature number. The veteran George
Gilbert will be seen again against his
old rival, Kid Taylor of Skowhegan

FOUR DIE IN
BR0CKT0N FIRE.
Five Others Seriously
Iniured==S Are
Saved by Life Net.

Brockton, Mass, Jan. 1s.-Four per-
house fire Saturday and five others
were injured by jumping from the up
per stories to the street.
The dead are Mrs. Mary ]. Mona
han and her son, w. Bernard Mona
han; M. Crawford LIninthal and an
unidentified man who had lodged in
the Lininthal home for only two days.
The injured are Willard A. Ramo,
VIM. Bonney, Miss Ethel Parker Miss
Florence Martin and Mrs. Fred Bow
man. Rano and Bonney were taken
to the hospital, the former suffering
from internal injuries and the other
was believed to have received a frac-
ture of the skull.
The burned building was a three
story brick structure at No. 203 North
Main street, in the Montello section
of the city. The first floor was occu-
pied by stores and the two upper
stories contained living apartments.
The cause of the fire has not been
determined. The blaze was discovered
about 8 A. NJ, by a neighbor When
the firemen arrived, exit by the stair
ways had been cut off, so life nets
were stretched.
There were many thrilling escapes
from the flames. w. A. Rano, who
lived ON the top floor with his wife
and three small children, jumped into
the life net, where they were caught
without injury. In the meantime Mrs.
Rano, with her baby in her arms was
climbing down a fire escape ladder in
the rear of the building. The fire es-
cape extended only as far as the sec
ond story, but the woman threw her
child into the arms of a man below
and then dropped to safety. AS soon
as he saw that his family were safe,
Rano jumped into the life net. His
weight proved too much fer the fire
men, and he fell heavily to the ground,
receiving serious internal injuries.
When the ruins were searched the
bodies of the dead were found in their
beds. They had died from snffocation.
Saturdays fire was the worst disaster
in the city since more than so persons
perished in the explosion and fire that
destroyed the Grover shoe factory in
March. 1905.
A tax bill found on the unknown
victim of the fire indicated that he
was James Stapleton of this city.
The property loss was placed at
$4,000.

Harmony Prevails
In Federal League,

Chicago, Jan. 1S-The Federal League
of baseball clubs will remain intact as
recently organized. it was said Saturday.
as result of long, secret meeting OF
the club owners here. During the day
many rumors were afioat that the new
league was about to break up in dissen--.
sion, but harmony prevailed.
The rumor that caused most discussion
was that Charles Weeghman of Chicago
had announced his intention to withdraw
from the Federal League and buy the st.
Louis club of the American League. This
threat was due to the reports that other
club owners in the Federal League had
not made sufficiently energetic efforts to
place their teams on a par with major
league baseball teams
Ban johnson. president of the Ameri-
can League; Charles Ebbets of Brooklyn
and August Hermann of Cincinnati'
were in the city all day attempting, 1t is
said, to induce Joseph Tinker to sign
with Brooklyn, despite his contract al
ready made with the Chicago Federals.
Their attempts We're futile.
The meeting of Federal League club
owners extended far into the night. After
all the kinks had been smoothed out, ac-'
cording to reports that reached the out
side, the owners of the Federal clubs dis
cussed ways and means for insuring suc|
cess in the struggle to gain standing
in the baseball world commensurate with
the aims outlined when the new league
entered the lists with the American and
the National Leagues.

SHAMROCK " To
Be LAST WORD.
Information Points
That Yacht Will Be
Formidable Racer.

New York, Jan. 1s.-Although much
secrecy surrounds the building OF
Shamrock ", American yachtsmei,
with English connections are securing
information which indicates that Sir
Thomas Lipton's cup challenger will
be the last word in the European yacht
building. Designer Charles Nicholson
appears to have broken the shackles
of English tradition and conservatism
with the result that there is building
at Gosport a 75-foot racing craft en-
bodying so many radical departures
from the conventional type that the
English skipper is aghast
While neither Sir Thomas or Nichol-
son will affirm or deny the reports rela-
tive to the structural details it is gen.
orally accepted both here and abroad
that Shamrock " will prove most
formidable challenger when ready for
the starting gun in the first race of
the international regatta Sept. 10.
1t is known that Sir Thomas has laid
his experience before Nicholson and
said to win it would be necessary to
build along lines Of the latest yacht
architecture regardless of the general
dtltltsNc VI E1u5lisl yoSitSihSii eC"o -
the various innovations and that this
policy is being carried to the letter is
apparent from the occasional frag-
ments of information that eminate
from Gosport. despite the rigid rule of
secrecy. When pieced together they
would appear to indicate that Sham
rock ~ will be of abnormal type with
lead keel of approximately 60 tons,
extraordinary overhang, centerboard
and tremendous spread of canvas.
The mast which may or may not be
of "Marconi" type, will be the longest
ever stepped in cup challenger,
length of water line considered, and ca
pable of carrying many thousand
square feet of sail area.
The yacht will be launched early in
April and will be in racing trim by
May.
With w. P. Burton in charge and
Capt Gould as skipper, a series of pre-
liminary trials will be sailed against
the present Shamrock off the coast OF
Dew onshire.

BASKETBALL NOTES.

"Wassitts, winner of Auburn hall

game with the Boston Red Sox Friday

by the spectators, were trying, so 1t
seems, to play clean ball. That is, all
but "BilI' skinner, who had two class
B fouls charged up against him. Bill
had to leave the cage and go to the
dressing room on these. He's got the

Philip Begin made the first-class
score of 135 and was high man on the
Colonial alleys Friday.
That there are bowlers in Augusta
competent to cope with those in almost

Fred Pine Of Lewiston defeated Archie
Walsh of Chelsea. Mass, in the l0-string
bowling match Friday evening at Lewis
ton by d 10-point margin. Although
there was nothing spectacular in the
bowling of either man, it was neverthe-
less an interesting match from the second
string out. In the first two laps Pine
took a 41-pin lead and with the pins
breaking badly for him almost continu-
ously. Walsh fought an uphill fight up
to the second box in the final string,
when he got his only lead of the evening,
one pin. No sooner had he gained that
advantage than he lost it, and when
Pine started the first ball down the alley
in the final box he was 10 pins to the
good. He scored a spare and added six
more making a total of 10 pins in his
favor. Walsh came across with a spare
and then tumbled over nine to close the
spare and string, thereby leaving his op-
ponent with a 10-pin advantage. Pines
best string was 11S, while Walsh had 116
for his best score. The score by strings
was as follows: Walsh-93 so, 112, Ill,

BOMBSHELL IN
SUFFRAGE RANKS.
House Decides Against Any
Standing Committee on
Woman Suffrage---Action
Regarded with lndigna-
ton by Suffragettes.

Washington. Jan. 1.-THE decision
of the majority members of the HOUSE
rules committee Saturday against the
creation of a standing committee Oh
the House on woman suffrage lanoeu
like a bombshell in the ranks OF SUI
frage leaders gathered here.
Both the Congressional eommlttee
of the National American woman sui
frage Association and the congress
sional Union for Woman Suffrage nave
been pressing the matter, but radlcai
difference of opinion between the or
CARNATIONS was indicated by the COM
ments.
The Congressional Union, at a meet
ing hurriedly called. adopted resolu-
tions unanimously declaring that the
meeting regarded with Indignation
the action of the Democratic men,
bers of the rules committee in refus-
ing to create a committee to consider
the justice and expediency of extend
ing self governing institutions to wo-
men,
Mrs. Antoinette Funk, lobby member
of the Suffrage Association, took ex-
ception to the attitude of the Congress
sional Union. Il am fearful lest the
avowed policy of the union to strike
at the Democratic party as Whole,
she said, "and to make war on DEM
ocratic members regardless or the
friendliness or unfriendliness or their
willingness to vote for or against sur
frage legislation, may have eontrlbut-
ed to this most regrettable situation.
TT Is the intention of our commit
tee to remain entirely nonpartisan and
to support at primaries and elections
such National officers as show
friendly disposition toward Us and new
er to oppose any candidate unless he
has ignored a well-defined sentiment
for suffrage among MS constituents
Mrs. Funk declared that under the
caucus system four members of the
rules committee had been able to de-
feat the win of the whole committee.
Assurances had been received, she
added. that a reconsideration would be
sought as soon as possible by suf-
frage sympathizers who are members
of the Democratic House committee.
1--WE shall then be able, at least"
she said, Ito put the blame where 1t
peiOuSS.
The vote of the Democratic major
ity report, which must be submitted TO
the entire committee, was four to
three. Chairman Henry and Represen-
tatives Pou of North Carolina and
Foster of Illinois voted to create
suffrage committee; Representatives
Hardwick OF Georgia, Garrett Of Ten
uessee, Goldfogle of New York and
Cantrill Of Kentucky voted against 1t.
The entire rules committee will meet
Tuesday, when a proposition may be
made by one Of the -suffragists,
either on the Democratic or Republic
can side, to report the rule.
