CLARK ADDRESS
MOST DRAMATIC
OF FEATURES IN
Great CONTEST

Speaker Champ Clark's speech in the
House today closing the argument for
the opponents of the canal tolls ex-
emption repeal bill was one of the
most dramatic features of this ex-
traordinary contest.
The Speaker said:

HAINES
SENDS PROTEST TO
MORRIS MCDONALD
FOrCeful Letter to President of the Maine
Central Against Withdrawing 1000
Mile Mileage Books

AS 1 said to you in my letter of the
14th, the withdrawal of two-cent 1000
mile mileage books by the Maine Cen
trail Railroad Company and issuing in
it's place only a 5O0-mile mileage book
at "a cents, will excite great
amount of public indignation in this
State.
Again referring to the bill which
vetoed and which was again passed at
the closing days of the session of the
last Legislature, but not approved by
me, and which will become a law if
not vetoed within three days after the
next meeting of the Legislature, l adj
nit does not cover the question Of
rates. In fact there is no rate or price
per mile mentioned in either of said
bills, their object being, as conditions
then existed, to compel your company
to sell 500-mile mileage books at the
same price which you are selling 1000
mile mileage books, which is two cents
per mile.
This act, IL it goes into effect, will
not prevent your withdrawing the
1000 mile mileage books and then you
can sell a 500-mile mileage book at
any price you see fit; so the law,
whether vetoed or enacted. has prac-
tically no effect upon the question of
the rates at which mileage books shall
be sold. The public do not generally
understand this. because they have
not read the law, but such is the fact,
and will, sooner or later, be found out.
Personally the matter does not affect
me, but as Governor of the State and
as citizen, l believe you are doing a
great injury to the company you rep
resent. 1 say you. the management of
the Maine Central Railroad Company,
In increasing the rate of travel from
two cents to PA cents per mile in this

Governor William It. Haines Tues
day sent to Morris Mcdonald, president
of the Maine Central Railroad Co, a
letter protesting the withdrawal of
100O-mile mileage books and the issu-
ing 500-mile books at PA cents per
mile. The Governor frankly expresses
his views in his usual forceful Ian
guage. He declares the move to be a
short sighted policy that is bound to
react on the railroad; that the people
are indignant and are bound to be
more SO; that the public has not been
given a fair show, in consideration of
tho coming vote on public utilities;
that there is no need of haste on the
part of railroad officials, that they
should await the peoples verdict in
September, and careful investigation
Of the railroads condition before rates

Day Search in City
OfWatervilleFa
To Locate Son
Left Home Sunday for Church.
Last Seen in Elm City

Waterville, Me, March 31.-(SpeciaD.
Joseph c. Grant, prominent farm
er of8Unity plantation, searched all
day Tuesday for his 1S-year-old son
Mark, who left home Sunday morning
saying he was going to church and
after reaching Waterville and passing
a short time with friends disappeared
and no trace of him has yet been
found
According to the fathers story as
given to a Journal reporter late Tues
day night, the boy was in good spirits
when he left home with his bicycle,
starting, he said, for church. He did
not go to church, but came instead to
the home of Dick Wood, IS Pleasant
street, where he made brief call be-
fore leaving for no one knows where.
The father has an idea that the boy
has a sweetheart somewhere in the
city, but her name and address are
unknown. His friends on Pleasant
street asked where he was going when
he left, and the boy said to the sta
ton, but inquiries made by the father
there Tuesday could reveal no trace
of his having boarded any trains.
Beyond a few dollars that his father
gives him now and then, young Grant
is not believed to have any money in
his possession, and consequently the
theory that he has gone very far from
home is not considered very plausible.
Several times, however, within the
last few months the youth has eX-
pressed a desire to enlist in the navy,
but such aspirations were quickly dis
couraged by the father. Believing that
the boy might have endeavered to en-
list, Mr.. Grant telephoned the recruit
ing stations at Bangor and Portland,
but no one answering the lads de-
scription or name has enlisted this
week.
{ The father said that his son had no
bad habits and had always been very
fond of his home and home associa-

his disappearance. A cousin, who was

On the final vote, 22o Democrats in

failed, but he did smooth over the

Wilson and an unqualified denial of
any vaulting ambition on his own be-

PRESIDENT WILL VETO
 THE MIMIC RATION BILL.
Dsapproves Of the Literacy Test for
 Which 1t Provides.

Washington, Feb. 16-President Will son will veto the Burnett immigration bill if 1t comes to him for signature with the so-called literacy test con- tained in it.
 This became known from an author ttative quarter tonight after Chair man Smith of the senate immigration committee had announced that the bill, virtually as it passed the house, including the literacy test, would be favorably reported to the senate soon. Prospects are that the bill will pass the. senate as reported from the com miftee, but the measure will never be- come a law, according to close friends of the president.
 The president does not consider lit eracy a test of character and believes some other means should be devised to prevent undesirable aliens from en- tering the United States. He told callers today that he had given his view to the senate committee and had left it to them to make it public or not as they chose.
 It became known tonight also that and Japanese immigration made to the house committee lon immigration last Friday by Commissioner General are not in accord with the views of the president. MT. Caminettis views were expressed without previous knowledge claims no Asiatic exclusion provisions, the house having voted down all amendments in that direction.
