RUMOR Truce
TO STOP VETO
or RESOLVES

In connection with the signing of
Tuesday. it is pointed out that, since
the Senate refused to request the re-
cratic members of the Legislature de-
sired. Governor Curtis had either 10
sign the resolves. or veto them JUS,
as he had threatened to veto all such.
When the alternative confronted him,
he evidently thought it better to over
look his threat in the personally de
ivered veto message and sign the re-
solves. It is apparent that the Gov
crnQr had rislled all he is willing T."
risk in promiscuous Vetoes and was
not ready to cndangcr his popularity
with the Democrats of the four towns
concerned Icy living UP TO the letter
OF his veto ncSsag &c.
Now it is rumorcd that a truce has
beer, declared between the Governor and
the committee on highways and bridges
and that the Governor Will approve the
highway and bridge resolves coming to
him in the regular way for signature on
condition the total appropriation of these
resolves is not more than the total APP
preparation Of the 18th Legislature for
the same purpose, Or little over Sle'.Fo.
The committee originally planned 10 keep
within this total. And the Governor in
mis- veto arbitrarily created a budget Of
SIS 900 or by his veto and warnings sub
stantially created such a budget for the
period of veto parties Just passing into
history
If the storH mat such truce has been
declared is truc. the LEGISLATURE will now
go happily on it's way and attend 10 the
business in hand without fear of the
Governors highway and bridge resolve
vetoes. Ills attitude on this subject has
seriously delayed the progress Of the s,s-
sion, it IS asserted.

SKOWHECAN
School Committee and Board of
Trade Views on the High
School Building Question
DEATH OF F. A. CLEVELAND
IN PORTLAND, ORE.

In regard to a High School building,
as the matter is to come up before
the town next Monday, it is Of inter-
est to learn the opinion of the Super
intending School Committee, which
was given out Tuesday in their an
nual report. In it they say:
1T is not necessary for us to dwell
upon the unsanitary condition and the
poor arrangement Of the interior Of
the High. school building to carry on
the work of standard High school,
because many of the citizens are well
informed on this subject.
There is not enough room within
the four walls Of the present build
ing to accommodate a High school Of
today the size Of ours and if the
town should expend $4,000 or $4,000 for
repairs and not enlarge the building
we feel that it would be a very I'M
wise move.
."According to the present rate Of in
crease in the Parochial school and
also the size Of our upper grades
which will be in the High school in
one or two years we will have am
pie grade room providing the two up
per grades can be accommodated in
the High school building. If a new
four room grade building should be
built there is no question but the
town would have q surplus Of grads
room.
Another very important matter to
consider is the accommodations for
manual training and domestic SCI
r,vl- %
and the two upper grades are the pu-
pilsl who use the domestic science
room. If this room is remote from
the High school building, the girls will
have to go back and FORTH Re-
sardless of the weather and travel
ing and time will be lost. The man.
ual training room now at distance
should be centrally located. The most
satisfactory arrangement they think
would be to enlarge the High school
building to accommodate two upper
grades and manual training and do
mestic science departments, also the
zens.
The High school question was taken
UP at the Monday evening meeting of
the Board of Trade. The report OF
the special committee was heard, two
Of the members favoring no recon-
incubation and the other five recon-
mending an entire new building. Mr..
+. L. Greenwood spoke on the ques
ton, favoring an entirely new build
ing but he thought that the next best
would be to enlarge the present high
school Among the other speakers
We're Major J. W. Fogler, c. A. Ross,
Charles Young. E. L. Savage T. E.
Lord, L. w Gerrish and Mr.. Porter.
Some We're in favor Of turning down
the article to come before the town

AID FOR BANGOR
HOSPITAL ASKED

In asking the State for an appropria-
ton of $500 for each of the next two
years for the Eastern Maine General
hospital at Bangor, p. II. Vose of Bangor.
president of the board of trustees, told
the committee on finance and appropria-
tons he believed the hospital did mora
work during 1914 than any other hospital
in Maine. The appropriation asked for is
larger than ever before granted to or
even asked by this institution, but it was
explained by Mr.. Vose that the work is
constantly increasing and that in 1914
$4,000 was charged off to free patients.
A deficit of 5000 resulted and as the re-
cent appropriation has been $500 it was
thought best to ask for $500 for tine next
two years.
Donald +. Snow, Esq, OF Bangor, men,
Der of the board of trustees, briefly re-
cited the beginnings of the institution
in 1892 and its growth since that time,
showing the scope of the work at the
present time and the financial condition
Mr.. Snow said he hoped that the time
was not far distant when the hospital
would be self-supporting and would not
be obliged to ask the State for financial
aid

PROPOSITION Meets
STRONG OPPOSITION

He said he was moi tied up with the
c. p r. interests, for if lie were he
would not be asking the county to lend
its credit As the {. p. r. credit would
be quite rs good Further he declared
he was not attempting, to gain authority
to force upon the people of the county
any thing detrimental 70 its best inter-
ests, but had employed experts VINO had
been able to convince MIN and prospec-
tive bond handlers that the proposition
is rational and SAFE.
4 number OF petitions were presented
the committee in favor of the enabling
act and representatives of the boards of
trade of Fort Fairfield, Ashland. Wash
burn. and Pressure Isle, and others as
individuals appeared in favor of the
Gould proposition.
1t appeared. however, that the torrent
of Indignation from Houlton and vicin-
ity might very likely drown all the ar
gument of the proponents when John B.
Madigan, Esq. of Houlton, Judge Mich
olas Fessenden of Houlton, Chas. p
Barnes, Esq, of Houlton, and other of
equal prominence, led by Ransford w.
Shaw, Esq, of Houlton, opened their
HOOdSateS OF OTdtOrS against the act.
Mr. Madigan voiced the general opinion
of the opponents, apparently, when he
declared that in this age of enlighten-
ment on railroad matters Aroostook coun-
ty should never consent to lend it's credit
for the purpose of guaranteeing $4,000
600 of bonds, capital and interest, to
make it possible to build an electric rail-
way from one point in Canada to an
other point in Canada. shortening the
freight haul for Canadian railroads, the
railway to be built for the most part
through the wilderness of northern
Aroostook.
1t developed that the proposition is not
altogether one-sided, however, and it re-
mains for the Aroostoos county delega-
ton to determine whether. the PROPOSE
ton is one for the development of Aroos-
took county by safe and rational meth
DDS or whether it is too dangerous a
proposition for the county to embrace

The Senate chamber was the scene of
a lively hearing Tuesday evening when
the Aroostook county delegation listen
ed to argument for and against Senate
document number LOG. an act enabling
the county of ArooStook to guarantee
the principal and interest of ard upon
$4,000 600 of the first mortgage bonds
Of the Quebec Extension Railway
Company. and providing that on or be-
fore the 18th day of July. 1915. the
Aroostook county commissioners shall
issue warrants to call the citizens of
the county to the polling places to give
in their votes on date TO be deter
mined on the question Of the county's
act of the Legislature.
William r. Pattangall of Waterville
conducted the case for the proponents
Of the bill and himself gave an able
exposition of the financial concern of
the county in the matter. The propo-
sition is to build Ill IL miles of
electric railway at $4,000 per mile
from Washburn through the Quebec
line at a point Is miles distant from
the lines of the Transcontinental Rail-
way. The Aroostook Valley Railway.
SO miles in length. would thus be ex-
tended to the Quebec line. Arthur
Gould. the promoter of the extension
and the builder of the AroOstook Val
ley line, gave his reasons for asking
the county to lend its credit and said
he was not begging but asking for
the county to make possible a devel-
opment in the interests Of the county
which would in the lifetime of the
bonds be valued not at 100000 but
at four hundred times that amount.
He said he would not profit by the
proposed road except as it was a feed
ed to his line now in operation and as
it used power in which he is interest
ed and which wastes enough to run
two such railways. The only reason,
he said. why the county was asked to
lend its credit for the development is
that the county"s guarantee on the
1-2 per cent bonds would save over
$4,000 per annum.
Mr.. Gould said he could arrange for
the bonds without the assistance of the
county but that the county could make
the construction of the railway much
move economical by lending its credit

merce between Germany and neutral
countries, occupied the attention Of Of
fetal Washington today. President Will
son told inquirers just before the cabinet
meeting that he could not define the at
titude of the American government be-
cause he had not thoroughly digested
the contents of the communications,
though apparently they seemed to estab-
lish a blockade. He pointed out that
the note had merely defined in genera,
terms a policy to be pursued by the Al
lies without stating the means of en-
forcing that policy. To make this clear
for the United States. the President add
ed. might necessitate further correspon-
dence with Great Britain and France.
Future Course Of U. S.
The possibility that the reply Of the
Allies to the informal proposals of the
United States may be introduced as a
basis for further negotiations along lines
that would make unnecessary the embar-
go on neutral commerce proclaimed by
England and France is recognized by Of
ficials generally as an important factor
in the future course of the American
government. If the reply from England
is to be long delayed by consultations
with the Allies. however. there is a be-
lief in many quarters that, acting on in
formal intimations of Great Britains dis
approval OF the plans suggested for send
ing foodstuffs to Germany, the United
States might send it's protest to Great
Britain in a few days.

ACCEPTS RESOLVES
CONTINUED From Page y

Senator Scammon of Hancock i'm
mediately offered an amendment to
increase the salary of the Hancock
clerk of courts from $500 as the bill
proposed to $500, saying he had moth
ing to urge except that the people.
of his section were satisfied with the
terms of the amendment. Senator
Durgin, who is a member of the sal
aries and fees committee, remarked
that he could understand why he had
nothing more to say, knowing as he
did what the result would be anyway,
and Senator Boynton again arose :"
object The Senator from Lincoln this
time declared that it was a proper
time to call attention again to Han
cock county, the county of magnificent
salaries He suggested that If ever the
residents Of a county needed their
attention called to a local situation.
Hancock county needed it there AMI
then. This amendment was adopted,
however, by the yeas and nays, 16 to 5.
Again Senator Boynton protested
against what he considered too great
salaries when Senator Murphy Of
Cumberland offered an amendment
raising the salary Of the sheriff Of
Cumberland from $500 as proposed in
the sheriffs salary bill to $4,000. He
spoke of the salary Of the sheriff of
Kennebec, now $500, and said that
the committee on salaries and fees
was ashamed even to give him the
$4,000 proposed in the bill, and said
that there are so men in both par
ties as efficient as the present in
cumbent who would be happy to hold
the office of a salary at $4,000.
In reply to this Senator Swift Of
Kennebec explained that the sheriff
of Kennebec is required to be in at
tendance at terms of court, more
than is required of any other sheriff
except one. that he also performs the
duties of court crier and court officer,
and in view Of these facts the Ken
nebec delegation believed the salary
was not too great. Senator Murphy
said the sheriff Of Cumberland has d
great volume of work before him each
year and that much extra work is oc-
casioned by the overflow from other
counties in the State and by the re-
quirements Of Portland's harbor bust
ness which creates work in excess Of
that required by other sheriffs. The
amendment offered by Senator MUIR
ply was rejected, however, by a yea
and nay vote. Is to 10.
Suffrage to Final Passage
By agreement the womans suffrage
measure was allowed to pass on its
A.
of the majority report. The debate on
which the final disposition Of the bill
will be decided will be in order on
the question of it's final passage and
the issue will be fought to it's finish
and the fate Of the measure decided
then, The popular opinion is that the
suffrage amendment will be easily
passed this session.
