NO CRITICISM OF POLICE.
President of Mid-City Citizens As.
ISOLATION Corrects False Impression.


!. Through the columns of your valua BILE
paper I would like to correct a wrong
impression that seems to have gone
forth in reference to the proceedings
of the last meeting of the Mid City Cit
liens. Association in which we are
charged with passing resolutions criti-
cistng the police department for undue
activity on upper 7th street in arrest
ing colored people for lettering.
1 wish to say there was no such reso-
lntion passed, nor was any department
or Individual criticised by the assocla-
tion whatever. During the meeting a
member stated he had been informed
there had been some unwarranted ar
rests made for lettering and requested
the association to ascertain the facts
in the, case. His request was simply
referred to the proper committee. as
anv matter demanding committee ac-
tion would be. the association passing
no resolution whatever on the matter.

INTRODUCTION OF AN
ORDER TO INVESTIGATE
RAILROADS OF maine

An order to investigate the rail-
roads of Maine is to be introduced
in the House probably next week.
Little has been said about this
order, but it is known it will be very
far-reaching. 1t will provide for
special legislative commission to do
the work. The investigation will De
to establish the actual value of the
roads, ascertain how much of their
stock is genuine and how much IS
water, learn. if possible. whether on
the part Of the Maine Central. there
has been an actual severance of con-
nections between the Boston & Maine
and the New Haven. This last will be
supplemented further by an effort to
determine what relations exist be-
tween Maine railroads and Wall
street, and whether they are for the
good of the State.
The order is to instruct the COM
mittee to make a full and complete
investigation and to report to the
legislature by bill or otherwise.
1t is realized that such an order
is of far-reaching character and that
tate the employment of many eX-
perts as well as the ablest of legal
talent. Those behind it, however. feel
the situation justifies such course
They feel that the railroads are
great necessity and that everything
possible must be done to preserve
and maintain the present good trans
portation facilities of the State. AT
the same time they do think the
roads should not be permitted I'M
justly to tax the people in the way
of freight and passenger rates. Hence
they contend the order is proper ana
a matter of protection to the inter
ests of this State.
There is, at this time, a current
Of opposition to the concentration
plan of the Boston & Maine out
lined in Boston, Tuesday by the
federal trustees of that road. AS ID
rule those who talk on the subjec.
admit they are not well informed.
Most of them admit that they have
not read the full text of the re-or-
ganization bill, only summary.
1t is pointed out by several legis
lators that to enact this bill is 20
legalize all the doings Of the men
who have been in control of the 3.
&; NJ. for years past and who are hell
responsible for the present chaotic
condition Of that road.
The proposed investigation. under
the order to be introduced the COM
ing week. would be to find out the
circumstances, which. it is believed
it is necessary should be known be-
fore such a request as that of the
Boston & Maine for reorganization
and that of the Maine Central fo.'
an abatement of taxes, could be
granted.

FAv0RS ABOLITION
OF COMMISSIONERS
OFFICE, FISHERIES

Declaring it an impossibility to get
a man big enough for the job, Hon.
Luther Maddocks of Boothbay Har-
office of commissioner Of sea and
shore fisheries, favors the abolition
Of that law and department.
At the 1901 session of the legisla-
ture he caused the bill creating the
department of sea and shore fisheries
to be introduced and enacted. At that
time he felt it would benefit the fish
ing industry Of Maine. Peculiarly
enough the first time Mr.. Maddocks
came to Augusta his purpose was 20
oppose laws restricting fishing. He
did not believe in such laws, did not
believe in them in 1901 and does not
regard them with favor at this time.
There were such laws, because leg
islatures had enacted them, in 1901.
He felt under those conditions, that
a department with a competent conf
missioner would be Of value to the
State ani this great industry. This
prompted him. to bring about the en-
actment Of the law.
They have never had a man big
enough for the job" said he in talk
ing the matter over this week. TT is
a $4,000 year mans job and the
State has not had one. They have
had good men. I'm not finding fault
on the ground that we've not had
what we paid for. We did, but they
weren't big enough. I believe such a
man cannot be had. Some Of those
who have had the place, have used
it as a political proposition and moth
ing else. feel this to be detriment
to the fishing industry Of Maine. That
is why I feel that the office and de-
partment should be abolished and at
once"
In 1913, Mr.. Maddocks caused bill
repeating the law creating the Office
Of commissioner of sea and shore
fisheries to be introduced in the leg
islature.- 1t failed of a passage AMI
he has had it reintroduced this year.

The local weather phophets who pro-
phesied that the winter would be what
is known as an "open'winter" are still
clinging to their belief, and in view of
existing circumstances it would seem
that they have some reason for so do
ing. They point to the fact that
though it is now the last Of January
there is less than six inches Of snow
on the ground, that there has been
but very little really cold weather. and
that about every snowstorm which has
thus far come along has turned to rain.
The thickness Of the ice in the river
furnishes them the basis for another
claim, being but about IL inches in the
fields where ice Is cut from the river
above the dam. and much less thick
ness in the vicinity of Gardiner, where
at this time it would in an ordinary
winter be from Is to Is inches thick
and perhaps more.
