The First Open Break

For the first time since the Demo-
cratic administration took charge of
the government administration lead
ers have found a strong, resourceful
and determined element within the
party opposed 10 a policy which Pres
ident Wilson had personally espous-
ed. Personal convictions on the ques-
ton have virtually obliterated party
lines.
The Presidents supporters tonight
declared they were gaining ground in
the House. The more conservative
members of both sides, however, an
ticipate a hard-fought struggle with
a bitter and protracted debate, follow
ed by close vote
Three Leaders Opposed
Aligned against the Presidents de-
mand for the repeal are three leaders
of the three parties in the House
Rep. Underwood of the Democrats,
Rep. Mann of the Republicans and
Rep. Murdoch of the Progressives
Wings of all parties are behind these
leaders. On the other hand, Chairman
Adamson of the House interstate and
foreign commerce committee: Rep.
Henry, chairman of the rules commit

of all three parties have accepted the
Presidents position.

GOVERNORS PROCLAMATION NAMES
FIRE PREVENTION DAY FOR MAINE
April 80, 1914, to Commemorate Disastrous Fire Sweep
ing Bangor Three Years Ago--The Com
plete Proclamation

Governor William It. Haines on
Wednesday made the following procla-
nation naming Thursday, April 80.
1914, as Maine Fire Prevention day
in commemoration of the disastrous
fire at Bangor April 80, 1911:
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
STATE OF MAINE
A Proclamation by the Governor
Among the questions uppermost in
the minds of the people are economic
questions, especially that Of conserva-
ton. The saving and proper care OF
what we have is the basis of our
wealth. Extravaganza and losses lead
to distress and suffering.
The year ending December S1st,
1918, shows a net gain of deposits in
our savings banks of $2,992,902. The
same year shows fire insurance premi-
ums paid by the people of Maine
amounting to $3,226,2 S2.S1; very
heavy burden on the property of the
State; and we find that only $1,S0S,-
1886 was paid back to the people for
losses sustained by fires during the
same year. OF this, $1,731, 5S9.5S was
incurred by foreign fire insurance COM
panies, and was SO clio per cent. of
the premiums collected by the same
companies during the same year. The
total amount of risks written by the
fire insurance companies for that year
was $244.733,S42.S4.
The Bangor fire of April 80, 1911,
damaged buildings and other property
to the amount of $3,707,531, of which
$2,00S,52s was paid by insurance COM
panies and s1,699,oO2 was sustained by
the property owners.
/ give these statistics to show how
Great is the question of insurance and
fire losses in our State. Rates are

fixed according to losses sustained
over a given period, and must be
enough to cover risks and expenses of
the business. The more fires, the
greater insurance rates we must pay.
Now, therefore, to assist in calling
public attention to this great economic
question and in commemoration of
the very disastrous Bangor fire of
April 80, 1911 I do hereby proclaim
that
THURSDAY, THE 3oth DAY OF
APRIL, 1914,
Be Known and Observed AS
MAINE FIRE PREVENTION DAY
and I most earnestly recommend that
the people observe it in all proper
ways: First, by cleaning up rubbish
and looking after fire traps at home;
second, by holding meetings for dis
cussion and addresses in the several
cities and towns of the State. especial
ly under the auspices of the Patrons
of Husbandry and the fire depart
ments and in our schools and such
other commercial and civic organiza
tons as may be able to lend their sup
port to this important question, in or
der that all our people, both old and
young, in country and city, may be
thoroughly impressed and become bet
ter educated upon this most impor-
tant question of conservation.
GIVEN at the Executive Chamber al
Augusta, Maine, this twenty fifth
day of March, in the year of our
Lord one thousand nine hundred and

of the United States of America the

A Bit of Superstition

In the selection of the names Reso-
lutte and Defiance the adherents to the
eighth letter designation is again evil
denced, as WAS the case in the sue
cessful cup defenders of past years,
including the Reliance, Columbia, De-
fender and Vigilant
Yaehtsmen as a rule are inclined to
laugh at the superstition of luck in
the eight-letter name cup defenders,
but the fact remains that of the orig
inal cup winner and the II defending
yachts a majority have borne names
containing eight letters.
In connection with the announce
ment of the flag officers yachts ap-
pelation the Americas cup committee
gave out a preliminary reporton the
negotiations for the cup races sched-
uled for Sept. 10, Il and Is. This re-
port. which embodies all the CORE
spondence between the New York
Yacht Club and the Royal Ulster
Yacht Club, together with an appendix
relating to the challenge of 1907 and
the question of towing, shows that the
negotiation opened with a cablegram
from the Royal Ulster Yacht Club
dated Feb. 2S. 1913. and continued un-
til the completion of the final accepts
ance of the Sir Thomas Upton chal-
lenge on Sept s. 1913.
Towing Challenger
The question of the right to tow the
challenger during the trip across the
Atlantic is fully covered in the CORE
spondence relating to the challenge of
1907. During the negotiations of that
year the point arose as to the right
of the challenger to proceed except
under her own sailing equipment. AT
that time ]. V. s. Oddie of the New

In the Senate today, the feeling over

in debate precipitated by Senator
Chamberlain, who called up his reso-

for informa ton as to the expense of
maintaining improved waterways and
canals within the United States.
Senator Chamberlain declared that
the Canadian Pacific Railway backed
by other trans-continental railroads
was the "insidious influence" behind
the effort to have the tolls exemption
repealed, but he acquitted the Pres
ident of yielding to any such influence.
Senator Chamberlain also assailed
Andrew Carnegie and the Carnegie

 Mr Hawkaley has had vide ex. perienee in this country with Indians. covering sojourn of twenty-seyen years. and understands the Indian na- ture thoroughly He has decided chat tho natives do not need the w9ite mans luxries, and that they are much more healthy and happy when in the hills hustIing their food as thoy did before tho whites came, and that they arc much more thrifty when thrown on their own resources than when stoll-fed on government ratlons.
 Iu accordance with this deductioni MT.
