GIVES OPINION
ON TW0-CENT
FARE CASE
ATTORNEY GENERAL HOLDS
THAT APPROPRIATION OF SEW
ENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS
WILL BE AVAILABLE 80 MONTHS

Oklahoma City, Okla, April 15.-As-
sistant Attorney General r. f. Wood
today gave an opinion to Governor
Williams in response to letter from
the latter, in which he held that the
appropriation of $4,000 for defense
of the &c fare cases would be avail
able for thirty months instead of only
July l. The opinion agrees with the
construction of the law as outlined by
the governor in his letter to the at
torney general.
The argument made by the governor
seems to be that the words for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1915" do
not limit the appropriation to use dur
ing that period, but indicates the
funds from which the appropriation is
made as being any that were not 9TH
erwise appropriated for the year
named. The governor quotes the>pro-
visions of the constitution as follows:
mo money shall ever be paid out OF
the treasury of this state, nor any OF
its funds, nor any of the funds under
its management, except in pursuance
of an appropriation by law, nor unless
such payments be made within two
and half years after the passage of
such appropriation act"
Letter to Attorney General.
The letter TO the attorney general
proceeds as follows:
"All appropriations have to be made
out of funds which are actually or con-
structively in the treasury. This ap-
propriat tion is made for certain spe-
cific purposes out of funds in the treas
ury not otherwise appropriated for the
fiscal year ending June 80. 1915. |
has the effect with that limitation
to repeal pro tanto appropriations
heretofore made for other purposes it
that be necessary in order Tor this
fund to be available under this appro-
prjation. Under all the rules of con
struction of constitutional provisions
according to my judgment, this ap
preparation will be available for two
and one-half years after it was made
by the legislature.
in cases where an appropriation
is made to pay the expenses of state
government during certain year
for expenses incurred or contracted
for within that fiscal year But in this
case the appropriation is made for a
certain specific purpose without any
limitation except that put on it by the
constitution, which is that the appro-
priation must be used within two and
one-half years. The language of thel
appropriation bears out this construc-
ton, to-wit: ITO be used for any
and all purposes in defending the val
idity of the &c fare rate and the cases
now pending in the United States
court for the western district of Ok
lahoma involving the same or in any
other court to which the same may be
carried and for the preparation of said
cases for trial on the part of the state

visions of the order of the corpora

prosecute any appeal necessary there

while special music for the occasion
was furnished by Miss Mary Prince of
Madison. A reception followed the
ceremony after which the happy cou-

SOMERSET CENTRAL FAIR sept. 8, 10, Il
MEANS GREAT COUNTY REUNION
Little Else to be Thought of or Talked About
Until the Great Show is Over

h, Location, beautiful level surface,
scenery and accessibility
considered, none of the Maine Fairs,
large or small are so fortunate as the
Somerset Central Society. Way back
in the 1905 little band of Somerset
County farmers determined to have a
permanent location for their annual
cattle shows. Grounds were bought
and buildings added year by year.
Fifty or more years after the first in
yestment, the area was enlarged to
its present liberal proportions. The
Madison -Skowhegan trolley line passes
the entrance, an important considera-
ton for those coming from up-river
points. This is also convenience for
reaching the grounds from the busi-
ness portion of Skowhegan, altho the
distance, about three fourths of a
mile from Water street, is comforta-
bly, made on foot The new automo-
bile entrance from Beech street, es-
tablished in recent years, greatly sim
plifies the arrival and departure of
the crowd. There is now no mixing
of teams and pedestrians with motor

LEAGUE
TEAM To PLAY
Final National Games
Next Week
York Beach Team VIII Play Both
Forenoon and Afternoon at Fairriew
Park, Next Monday

We have had such a succession of
events in the baseball line, the pres
ent season, every game better than
the last, that the situation is almost
bewildering. Next week will be final
for the National game throughout
Maine and the biggest attractions of
the year are booked for Skowhegan.
The York Beach team, with an almost
unbroken record of victories is to play
both forenoon and afternoon, Monday
Labor Day., and for each afternoon
of the Somerset Central Fair, the last
three games of the year, the Lewiston
New England League team will play
the Skowhegans at Fairview Park
Skowhegan has lots of confidence in
her players. They have made a splen-
did record and come to this final Sc
is of course the hardest proposition
they have thus far faced. 1t would
be very nice to prophesy that they
would win three out Of the Ave games
but in view of the talent they are
matched against perhaps it is better
not to claim too much" Whatever the
result, these five contests are sure to
be prominent in the baseball history
of Skowhegan for years to come.

be appointed by the Board of Trade
to ask local autoists to cooperate for

NEW DEPARTMENT FOR
som. CENTRAL FAIR
Premiums Offered for Jacks and Jen-
nies for the First Time In Som
erset County Show. Stock Already
Entered from a Smithfield Farm.

New England has very few mules
and Maine has had almost none at all
until recent years. In the South and
West they are much more common; In
higher than horses. They are doubt
less destined to increase in this state.
The Somerset Central Agricultural So
ciety is recognizing, this tendency by
offering premiums for Jacks and Jen-
MES, also by admitting mares with
mule colt foals on the same terms as
anmixed horse blood stock. 1t is
planned to group these curious long
barred creatures by themselves and
they will make a novel department at
the coming fair.
H. c. Stevens of Smithfield is the
first to enter animals of this class.
He will bring two Jacks, two Jack
colts, one Jenny and eight mules. Mr..
Stevens went to West Eklton, Ohio, in
September 1910 and bought his orig
inal stock, Jack and Jenny. The
Jack was a Black Spanish Animal,
Ohio Silver Boy, son of Black Aaron.
From this pair and their breeding
with good 1900 to 1000 lb. mares, have
been raised the younger animals now
at the Stevens farm and several that
have alraadv haap 6icpoead Of IN Som
erset county purchasers.

OCCUPANTS !:|' THROWN RI N
'''' FROM m CAR. ..'''.'
Automobiles Damaged In Collision at
NOrridgewOck. Skowhegan People
Participate

AS the result'of an automobile col
lision at Norridgewock, Sunday, two
cars were badly damaged, two people
were hurled to the ground and others
were given a serious scare One of
the cars belonged to Newton H. Cas-
well of Skowhegan, and beside himself
contained his daughter, Miss Annie
Caswell, Mr.. and Mrs. c. B. Hight and
their daughter, Helen. Mr.. Caswell
was driving the car. The other au-
tomobile, it seems, was being driven
by J. NJ Robinson of Hallowell who is
thought to have been the owner of
the same and with him were three
other people. When the cars struck,
ii appears that Mrs. Hight and her
daughter were both thrown to the
ground and the latter was picked up
for dead. She was rushed to a near
by physicians office where she became
more or lesss dazed while Miss Cas-
wells coat was badly torn and one ell
bow was bruised. The collision oc-
Cured, it is understood, just as the
Hallowell car came round the corner
by the old coat shop and it is reported
kept to the left instead of to the
right. The mud guard, wheel and
door of the Caswell car were broken
while the body of the Hallowell ma
chine was split, the frame twisted and
mud guard demolished.

.Jackman-Rockwood
Work Authorized
Also the Purchase for the State of the
tuberculosis Sanitariums at Fair
field and Hebron

At the session of the Governor and
Council on Tuesday, two matters were
brought before the body of particular
interest to residents of Someret Coun-
ty. One was with regard to the pur-
chasing of the tuberculosis sanitarium
at Fairfield and also at Hebron. by the
board of trustees for the SAte SAM
toriums, created by the Maine Legisla-
ture and appointed by the Governor,
which was approved and the other was
with regard to the Jackman-Rockwood
road The council heard with much
interest the report of civil engineer
Henry F. Hill, who has just completed
a survey of the site of the proposed
road to extend from the town of jack
man to Kineo Station a distance of 81
miles. For the construction of this
road the sum of $25, 1000 was appropri-
ated by the state, and enough more by
the towns of Jackman and Kineo and
by the Maine Central railroad to raise
the total sum to $4,000. Engineer
Hill found from his observations that
the expense of the completed road, if
made according to the present specifi-
cations, would be in the neighborhood
of $157,9S1. 1t was decided that the
most sensible course to take this sea-
son would be to simply clear the pro-
posed way of all growth and to spend
what money was left to the best ad-
