Resolve in favor Of road around Cook
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1915-03-05

The SPEAKER: The Chair lays be-
fore the House, Resolve in favor of the
Penobscot Tribe of Indians for general
care, maintenance, relief and educa-
ton thereof. The pending question is
upon the final passage Of the resolve
This resolve carries the emergency
clause, and under the provisions Of
the Constitution it requires a two
thirds vote of all the members elect
ed to this House upon its final pas
sage.
Mr.. WASHBCRN of Perry: MI
Speaker, before that vote is taken. 1
should like to offer word of expla-
nation as to why the emergency clause
has been attached to this measure
This resolve and the one which I pre-
sumo will follow it. are the regular
appropriation bills for the Penobscot
and the PaSsama quoddy Tribes Of In
dians. providing for their support and
the support of their schools, for their
medical attendance, for their fuel and
for many other things which are par
ticularly necessary to them at this
season Of the year. If the resolves were
allowed to take their ordinary course
and the appropriations should not be-
come available until July or August
the tribes would certainly fall into
distress and much sickness and dis
comfort might result; SO that we
claim that these resolves are strictly
within the law which allows the at
tachment Of the emergency clause to
measures which are necessary to the
public health and safety. 1 make this
explanation in order to avoid the mis-
understanding which occurred two
years ago when these resolves at first
failed of a final passage: they were
afterwards reconsidered and received
a unanimous vote in their favor, which
hope will be the case at this time.
The SPEAKER: The pending ques-
ton is on the final passage of this re-
solve. All those in favor Of the final
passage Of the resolve will rise and
stand in their places until counted
and the monitors have returned the
count.
A division being had, 119 voted in
favor and none against. So the re-
solve was finally passed.

. The announcement was followed by
an immediate rise in quotations on
change, based on the expectation that
the company would be able to dispose
of its vessels at excellent prices, in
view of the high prevailing rates for
freight and the great scarcity of
bottoms.
Since that time, though the com.
PAny has consistently maintained its
customary reticeRce as to its plans, h.
p. Sehwerin, the general manager and
vice president, has given widely quoted
interviews TO the Eastern newspapers
In which he reiterated that it was I'M
possible for the Pacific Mail TO con
time in business under the provisions
Of the SeameRs' Act, which becomes eff
feetive in November.
Interviews Not Denied
Though these interviews have been
criticized by supporters of the Act,
they never have been repudiated OF
discredited, and in the shipping col
HmDs of the Pacific Coast newspapers
il has come to be taken for granted
that the Pacific Mail is for sale, if il

COMMERCIAL ISOLATION

Other Cabinet officers Besides
Secretary Of State Lansing Are
Writing Reloinders To BerIin's
Note At Presidents Request


W/ASHlNGTON, July IS. -
w The text of note deliver
ed by the Austro-Hungarian min
lister of foreign affairs to the
American ambassador at Vienna
June %, and by him in turn trans
mitted to the state department,
was made public here last night.
The government of the dual
monarchy joins the imperial gov
eminent of Germany, it's ally, in
protesting against the sale of
American-made munitions of war
to the Entente Allies, while the
Teutonic governments are cut off
from the open market.
Contention of Austria
Austria contends that neutral
states cannot legitimately traffic
in contraband of war if the traf-
! hc becomes such as to endanger
their neutrality.
In the case of America and the
Germanic allies, it is argued that
the peculiar circumstances of
their commercial isolation have
made the expectation of munitions
of war an unneutral trade, which
the American government is en-
titled to prevent. The note closes
with an appeal that America
give careful consideration to the
J Austrian contentious.
Reply To Germany
Not only Secretary Lansing but
other cabinet officers are writing
at the request Of President Will
son their views of what the COM
ing reply to Germany's latest note
, should contain.
The President himself, it is un-
1erstood, will bring to the cabinet
meeting next Tuesday his own
rough draft OF a reply. The varl-
GUS ideas embodied in the differ
ent drafts then will be discussed
and another draft prepared from
the composite opinion thus OBJ
aimed. Probably this second draft
will be carefully revised by the
l President before Secretary Lam
sing signs it.
\ Meat Cargoes Considered
After a conference yesterday
afternoon between American
packers and Secretary Lansing,
officials of the state department
said that renewed informal repre-
Isentations would be made to
! Great Britain, asking the release

ish cruisers, though consigned to
neutrals, on the ground that their
I actual destination was Germany.
