Wild and WoOlly
Methods inPOrtland

Portland, Me. March 15.-Methods
which heretofore have been confined
practically to the wild and woody
West have apparently been adopted by
footpads in order TO get their victims
in the tolls and the first subject of
the new departure met with the rath-
err startling experience about Friday
evening on Elm street. The victim. a
woman, WAS walking down Elm street
and had reached the rear wall of the
Ciapp estate, about half way between
Congress street and Cumberland ay-
enne when from the thick hedge
above the wall moose hurtled and
fell ever her head
The experience was terrifying and the
woman uttered a shrll scream and threw
rope. She was successful in preventing
the moose from encircling her body but
the rope, which had become taut in the
struggle, pulled off her hat and 1t fell to
the sidewalk. Her cry was heard by an
of1leer and he hurried to her assistance,
but search failed to disclose the pres
ence of the assailants and no trace of
them has been found The lasso was not
of the usual kind used on the Western
plans but was manufactured from ordina-
ry elothesline and was apparently of
home make. Whether the rope throwers
had sinister motives or were youths play
Ing pranks has not been decided BY the
police.

Rev. M. S. DOrney
Is Dead at Chicago

Chicago. March 15.--rhe Rev. Maui
rice j. Dorney, a Catholic priest,
whose name IS familiar on both sides
of the Atlantic. died today at Mercy
hospital. where his sister is one of
the nuns in charge.
Death was due to paralysis, follow
ing neart trouble.
The stock yards priest. Father
Maurice ]. Dorney, The King of the
yards" was one of the strongest and
most picturesque characters in the
West. To people we'll acquainted with
that part of Chicago no more evidence
is needed to illustrate the force of his
personality than the fact that by his
efforts a mile square OF territory sur
rounding his church has for 20 years
been absolutely free from the pres
enee ofsa saloon.
Perhaps the meeting of Parnell and
Father Dorney in the House of Com
mons at London will be the public
incident to be longest remembered in
the civil life of the priest. Father
Dorney there delivered to the Irish
parliamentary leader the documents
which showed that the informer Pig
otis accusations against Parnell were
based on forgery. Largely as the re-
suit Of Father Dorney's successful
mission, the prosecution suddenly col
lapseG and Pieott not long after COM
mitted suicide in Spain.
Father Dorney was a native of Mas
sachusetts.

S66, 900 SUIT AGAINST
PORTLAND WATER DISTRICT

Portland, Me, March 15.-Papers
were served on Saturday against the
Portland Water District in an action
for $4,000 brought by John c. Tierney,
the contractor, who laid the new AZ
inch cast iron pipe line in the years of
1911 and 1912 from Sebago Basin to
Portland.
The declaration, which is one of the
longest, if not the longest. ever filed
in the clerk of courts office in this
county, consists of 81 pages in the
form of covenant broken and is from
the office of Charles J. Nichols as at
torney for Mr.. Tierney.
1t appears that the Water District
was to furnish the pipe and gates and
that Mr.. Tierney was to do the haul
ing and laying of the pipe. Mr.. Tierney
claims that the district delayed in
furnishing said materials and did not
furnish him plans and instructions to
allow him to complete the job within
the time limited by the contract.
He also claims that the district was
not ready to receive the water at the
Portland end of the line when he was
ready to make the connections anu
that he was delayed for several months
waiting for the District to lay its
pipe on this end.
Mr.. Tierney claims that he COM
pletee the job or Aug. 81. 1912, and
that the city has been taking the wa
ter through this pipe line ever since,
but that the District is withholding
his pay for the work.
He has set out in his action that
he was to keep the line in repair for
one year from date of the completion
of the line or August 81, 1913, and that
he has been willing to do SO, but there
has been no repairs on the line and
he hasn't been asked to do any and
that it was completed in first class
condition That he has waited a year
and half for his pay.
He claims there is some $4,000 due
him and has placed the ad damnum of
his writ at 100000
The writ was served by Deputy
Sheriff Henderson on William l..
Blake, one of the trustees of the Port
land Water Dstrist, and is return
able at the April term of the supreme
court next to be holden in this county.

The matter Of the wharf property in
Providence. Newport, FAN River New

spent discussing this because it was
apparent that no common ground

was to select the subjects on winch
an agreement was readily possible,
leaving the Boston K Maine for fu-
tIre conferences.
During the consultation of Friday
and Saturday Chairman Elliott and
Mr. Atkins and Mr.. Gregory proceed
ed on the theory that ii was wise to
eliminate as much as possible. and
they selected the trolleys as the cas-
lest to dispose of A plan having been
found agreeable to both ides. the sale
of the Massachusetts and Rhode Is
land trolleys and the transfer of the
Connecticut system to trustees. it was
decided that Chairman Elliott should
submit this proposition to the New
Haven directors Thursday.
To Confer Again Next Friday.
The Boston & Maine is still in the
air. Chairman Elliott and his attor-
news. Moorffeld Storey and Walker d.
Kinds, presented strong arguments
against the requirement that the ma
jerty stock of the Boston x Maine
be sold within two years, and there
was a long discussion of the financial
condition of the New Haven and the
Boston & Maine.
Mr.. Elliott presented figures show
ing the heavy loss in earnings of both
railroads and he argued that no i'm
provement could be expected until ad-
vance in rates was allowed. He tried
to impress upon Mr.. Adkins and Mr.
Gregory an appreciation OF the ume
that would be needed to restore both
railroads to a dividend paying basis.
The two representatives of the de-
partment of justice said they were
willing to take into account the finan-
cial condition of the New Haven and
the Boston & Maine, and they We're
ready to accede to any reasonable
proposition. They were not sure. how
ever, Just how far they ought TO go IN
making concessions and said they
would like to make an investigation.
This was satiSfa ctory to Chairman
Elliott and his attorneys. and the con-
ference was adjourned late Saturday
afternoon, to be resumed next FRIDAY.
In the meantime NJ. Elliott is to col
lect more figures bearing upon the
Boston & Maine, and Mr.. Adkins and

the information they received Satur-

II was agreed between Chairman Elliott

New Haven had customers for these
properties

Connecticut Company, the corporation
which holds the connecticut trolley sys-
fem. would be transferred to board Of
trustees TO be selected by the New Ha-
ven.
A formal agreement to segregate the
Connecticut electric system in this man
ner was drawn up and signed and the de-
partment of justice assented to the des-
ignation of the men named by the New
Haven as trustees.
This disposition of the trolley eompa-
mics is subject to the approval of the di-
rectors of the New York, New Haven &
Hartford Railroad, who are to meet on
Thursday. Until the directors formally
accept the terms, the agreement between
Chairman Elliott and the department OF

That Foreign Nations Forward
Direct Representations to Him

note received today he recedes from
that position somewhat, but still in
lists that foreign nations having con-
sular representatives in the country
controlled by the rebels or in the Unit
ed States must treat with him unoffi
cially. Gen. Carranza recognizes the
position most foreign governments are
in because of their having recognized
Huerta, but insists this position does
not preclude them from dealing with
him unofficially.
In the case where foreign consuls
or representatives are not in the ter
ritory controlled by the rebels, or near
It, Gen. CarranZa grants the American
Government the right to intercede.

Saves $3.50 by Not Hiring Special
Train to Pasadena.

Vanderbilt is convinced that she must
practice economy to a reasonable ex-
tent. For that reason, though delayed
and IN a hurry to reach her winter
residence in Pasadena. she concluded
SATURDAY. not to engage a special train
after figuring the cost.
Pencilling the figures, she sub
tracted 5000, the cost of the trip in her
private car, from s2250 what she would
have to pay for a special train, and
concluded that $3.50 was too high
price to pay for several hours lost at
a side track at Sanderson. Tex.
Although she asked that thes car be
placed on the end of the train, South
ern Pacific officials placed it in the
middle.
