Cotton Exporters
VS.. Foreign Agents

Washington, April 1.-THE relations
of American cotton exporters to their
foreign agents is the subject of a suit
the supreme court will be asked to
review within the next few days. In
formal application for the review was
today lodged with 1.-THE court.
The case is one in which the Birge>
Forbes Co. of Sherman, Tex. was held
liable to its foreign agent at Bremen
for $4,000 damages. This amount was
the sum the agent paid to purchasers
of cotton for selling cottotn to them
not up to grade.
The Texas firm was sued in the
Federal courts of Texas after arbitra-
tors selected in accordance with the
rules of the Bremen cotton exchange
had held the purchasers were entitled
to damages. The Texas firm now
complains that the arbitrary differ
ence in grades fixed by the Bremen
exchange should not have been used in
the arbitration. 1t is claimed this
would have invalidated the claim of
the agent for PREPARATION from the eX-
porters.

Friends Intervene and Lena Dion
Is Returned to Her Home i'm lisbon

Athanasos vlahonikolas, he whose un-
pronounceable name was given to the Au-
gusta public in the columns of the Jour
nal Wednesday morning in connection
with the details of a story which told of
his coming to Augusta from Lisbon with
a young girl named Lena Dion in order
that they might be married and thus en-
joy the happy elimination of a romance
which had begun in their home town, has
lost his little brlde-to-be, and the chances
are that she is lost to him for good She
was taken from him Thursday afternoon
and at a moment, too, when had the ae-
ton been delayed two minutes it would
have been too late, as they would have
taken one another for better or worset
This sudden blighting of Athanasius'
hopes was due to the Intervention of Rev.
J. F. Nelligan of the Catholic church at
Lis&n, who came to Augusta Wednes-
day in behalf of the young girl and who
succeeded in getting her away from Ath-
anasios and taking her with him to Lis
bon. FIR. Michigan saw the girl at the
factory boarding house, where she had
been living since her arrival in Augusta,
and endeavored to induce her to return
to her home, but found her obdurate,
she being evidently so infatuated with
the man V1ahonikolas that she refused to
listen to reason.
In this extremity FIR. Michigan called
Thursday afternoon on Judge Lancaster
of the municipal court and laid the case
before him He told the judge of his en-
deavors to get the young girl to consent
to return to her home and of the out
come and also of her exemplary life
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1914-04-17

before she had become infatuated with
Vlahonikolas. He also asked If he could
take the girl and the Judge assured him
that he could, and that If he so wished
he could have the assistance of an Off
GER.
The next move was to locate the girl,
and as it had been learned that Vlahon-
ikolas had secured a marriage license
from Lisbon IL was suspected that the
two might seek the city clerk to have
the ceremony performed. Accordingly
the judge phoned the city clerk and as
certained that the couple were there and
about to be married. The message to the
clerk was received just in time. for had
it been delayed two minutes it would
have been too late. As it was, however,
an officer was sent to the office of the
clerk, the girl was taken to the waiting
room of the L., A. & w. st. Ry., and at
5 o'clock she was on a car In charge of
FIR Michigan and on her way to Lewiston
bound for her home in Lisbon.
Later Vlahonikolas called at Judge
Lancasters office and told that official
that the girl had been "pinehed" and that
he suspected that she was somewhere
about the building, but naturally he did
not find her. 1t was then that Vlahonik-
olas appeared in his true light, for in
stead of being grief-striellen at his loss
Judge Lancaster states that the man told
him that he was about through with the
girl and did not know as he would mar
ry her anyway, also that he could get
girls enough. From what was learned
through FIR. Michigan regarding Vlahon-
ilSolas it would seem that the young girl
had a lucky escape.

Escape OF student who fell down
the Lutschine gorge in the Alps, but
was caught on a rock and remained
suspended for two days and nights re-
calls to the London Chronicle another
Grindenwald escape of which Leslie
Stephen tells. Returning from the
chalet above the Eismeer, one of Ste
phen's guides, Michel, reached the edge
of cliff where a wooden rail guarded
the path. Unfortunately the rail left
off prematurely, and Michel had been
drinking. So he stepped over and fell
on hard rock nearly one hundred feet
below He lay there all night and next
morning got up and walked home sober
and whole. Stephen submits two
morals for choice: Don't get drunk
when you have to walk along the edge
of an Alpine cliff and Get drunk
if you are likely to fall over an Alpine
cliff

Irving Henderson Does
Good Job in Blazing

Irving Henderson, the trail blazer

no chances on the run not being the
heighth OF sociability and neighbor-
Illness. In laying out the route, Irving
very carefully included the Peace
Monument In the itinerary. and COM
PEELED all the entrants to encircIe II,
thus allowing the atmosphere of peace
and sociability to permeate everycar and
every owner. Irving. however. took
no chances on the Peace Monument
railing down on the Job. and also in
cluded the State. War and Navy De-
partment in the line Of march, where.
as everybody knows, the dove oil
peace has its headquarters. and peace
serenity and good fellowship bloom for
evermore.
Therefore. it had to be a sociability
run. 1t couldn't help itself Irving was
going to have sociability even if he had
to go to war for 1t.
But all these precautions were un-
necessary. Sociability reigned supreme.
Even the officer of the Conduit road
was seen to smile as the procession
sailed by. and four speed ferrets fell off
their motorcycles from laughing at the
folks they knew in the run.
The only thing to mar the joyousness
of the occasion did not occur. There
wasn't anything to mar the joyousness
of the occasion.
No one was arrested for speeding. al
though Vice President Marshall, who
set the secret time, may have fallen
