pensed with in the business concerned.
The efforts of the officers OF the Gua nd
to break down this prejudice OF the
employers has succeeded in the main
and it is expected that q new era is
about to dawn in the problem OF en-
ployers and employees as it touches up
on the Guard enlistments. - e.,
Guard officers have been able to show
employers that the service Is a good
thing for their employees; it, trains them
in efficiency. has a tendency through
its training to keep them in robust
health and morals. and renders them
more rather than less desirable as en-
ployes. The many interests outside the
National Guard organization which
give more or less military training to
men are not to be discounted and their
value is highly estimated by the war
department; but the service of the
trained man is compulsory in the Ma
tional Guard and volunteer in these
other organizations and the training
In the Guard is therefore the most
thorough and adequate. Inasmuch as
the recognized source of reserved
forces is to be the National Guard or
sanization, Maine desires greatly that
her enlistments be increased and the
aoJutant general is formulating plans

work OF the Guard. not only because
ne believes Maine needs many a young
man in the Guard but because he be-
heves many a young man can prof. BY

asked to see the famous flag made
for the End Maine Regiment by the
ladies Of California and carried Dy
the regiment in its heroic battles IN
the Civil War. It CHANGED that the
grand banner was out of its case at
the time, that the glass front cabinet
might be repaired. The flag was point
ed out to him and, thinking that no
one was watching, he made his way
to the corner where it stood and mad
a little reunion all his own. As a
matter Of fact, more than one pair OF
eyes followed the loyal veteran as he
made his way to the banner loved by
many, and justly famed in that sturdy
patriots of Maine followed it with
true patriot hearts through the hell
fire of battle and many brave SON
Of the Pine Tree State died with the
flag as the last vision Of his blotted
sight.
Tenderly in his wrinkled hands the
aged patriot took up the silken folds
and fondled the glorious faded banner
as mother fondles her sweet babes
curls. The light of patriot love shone
softly in his eyes as his glance led on
his reverie from star to star. from
stripe to stripe. and every mark. every
tattered thread. seemed to speak to
him of heroic days which ennobled his
four-score years and more. At length
came the tears that could not be held
back: they coursed down his cheeks as
drift sparse drops from autumn clouds
hung in a sunset sky. Then that elo-
ouent touch of sentiment that makes
an old soldier so rich an asset to his
country-smothering his face in the
Stars and Stripes, he gave a sincere
kiss unto his country's flag. Once
more he had seen and touched the
flag he followed. once more. the flag
be loved.

Rumford, Me-, Nov. I'm the Rum
ford municipal court today Judge Nc
Carthy found probable cause for hold
ing Patrick J. Harrington on the
charge Of having murdered Thomas
E. Preece in the town Of Sumner on
Nov. Z, 1914. Harrington was ordered
committed to the county Jail without
bail to await the action Of the grand
Jury Of oxford county March next.
He was taken back to South Paris i'm
mediately after the hearing by Sheriff
rockingham.
The hearing in the case occupied so
minutes and during this Mr.. Morey,
counsel for the defence, forced the
State to reopen its case and REIN
troduce evidence before Judge Nc
Carthy felt warranted in taking the
action stated.
In the first instance County Attor-
ney Belliveau contented himself with
Offering in evidence only the alleged
confession or statement made Mon
day night by the prisoner to the
county attorney, sheriff and others.
Upon the reading Of this evidence
given by Sheriff rockingham, the
State rested.
Mr. Morey insisted that before
probable cause could be found, 1t
must be shown. first, that crime had
been committed and, second. that 1t
took place in Oxford county.
This, he claimed the evidence at
that point did not show.
Judge Mccarthy stated that while
he might accept the statement as be-
ing sufficient to show the crime, Mr..
Morey was right in insisting that the
place Of the. alleged crime must be
shown.
Sheriff rockingham then returned
to the stand and testified relative to
the find Of Freezes body and the au-
topsy.
Harrinston's Statement"
The sheriff said that Harrington
was shown a letter and clipping from
hotel registers. after which he made
this statement:

The opinion is addressed to the chair
man of the Board of State Assessors
and is as follows:
Hon. B. c. McIntire,
Chairman Board State Assessors.
Augusta, Maine.
Dear Sir:
Referring to the question submitted
by Your board TO me, namely, as to
whether the poles and wires used by
power companies for the transmission
of electricity should be taxed as real
or personal property, there is no pro-
vision Of statute governing the ques-
ton and do not find any decided
case in our State exactly covering
this point.
In the case of Telephone Co. VS..
Cyr, e5 Main 2S7, the court held that
as between debtor and creditor, the
telephone lines of the company con-
sisting Of poles. wires and insulators
were personal property. That sine be-
ing erected in the highway and the
company occupying the highway I'M
der a mere license revokable at the
will Of the municipal officers SO far
as any particular portion of the high
way is concerned. and not having a
permanent vested interest in the land
itself. Undoubtedly a portion of the
transmission lines Of power compa-
MES are erected under conditions sim
liar to those discussed by the court in
this case. On the other hand. a great
portion of the same transmission lines
70 YnrI7- 10 IS A,oL
and over which the power company
has gained permanent right to erect
poles and carry wires In which latter
case, the lines could hardly be con-
strued 10 be anything but permanent
fixtures and hence would be real es-
tate and not personal property. It is
to be noted that in the case of the
Telephone Co. vs.. Cyr. where. the court
held that certain poles and wires were
personal property as between debtor
and creditor the court said that 9th !
er and different circumstances might
! be involved in determining their char
acter for the purpose Of taxation"
| To apply TO the transmission lines
| Of power companies the general rules
/ of law with regard TO real and person
al property might lead to the conclu-
sion that such lines when permanently
located were real estate and when To-
Gated along highways under the au-
thority Of municipal officers were per-
sonal property. Such q construction OF
the law might be technically correct.
1t would, however. lead to so much
confusion that the practical difficulty
in the way of enforcing the law would
be almost insurmountable
/ should advise that until some diff
ferent construction had been adopted
by our court, Your board should act
upon the assumption that the poles.
wires and insulators constituting the
transmission lines Of the various pow
er companies be considered real es-
tate for taxation purposes. would al
so suggest the advisability of your
board presenting to the next Legisla-
ture some statute definitely covering
this point in order that the duties of
local assessors may be made clearer
70 them and possible litigation pre-
vented.
Yours very truly.

Attorney General.
