headquarters staff.
Conflicting statements appear in
these statements. While the Paris
night comrnunique asserts that the
Germans were routed in fierce bat
tie in the Binarville region. at the
edge of the Boise de Ia Grurie. the
Berlin statement, evidently referring
TO the same battle, says that the
Crown Prince led a large force of
Wurtemburg troops in a victorious
assault on the French lines over a
front of about liz miles. The Ber-
lin reports adds more than a thous-
and prisoners, as well as large num-
Der Of guns were captured. The Ber-
lin statement places the scene of this
engagement northwest of Isefour de
Paris. which Is on the southern edge
OF the Boise de la Grurie.
Regarding the fighting in the
Nosges, which has been going on for
several days. the German statement
asserts that the Kaiser's troops cap
tured French works at Hiligenfirs'
and resisted eounter-attack of the
French. The Paris statement on the

Germans, I'm the third of a series OF

Public Utilities Papers

In the matter of the investigation
of an accident on the premises Of the
Maine Central Railroad Co. at Ban
gor, July 2. resulting in the death Of
Herbert Libby of Machiasport, the
Public Utilities Commission reports:
About midnight of July Officer
Phillips Of the Bangor police force
was told by man who was a stranger
TO him that there was someone on the
Maine Central Railroad tracks in dis
tress. The officer Immediately investi-
gated the matter, and found a man
on one of the tracks of the railroad, a
short distance westerly from the May
street crossing, with one leg crushed
and apparently in a dying condition.
The man was Immediately removed to
the Eastern Maine General hospital,
where he died about 3 o'clock the fol-
lowing morning.
There was a rumor that people in
the vicinity Of the place where the
man was found had heard voices just
before the man was found. Careful in
vestigation by the Commission and by
the police department failed to confirm
this rumor, as no one could be located
who claimed to have heard any I'M
usual noises in the vicinity of the
track at or near the time when Libby
was found.
No train crew or member Of any
train crew could give any information
whatever as to the accident. All Of the
circumstances disclosed by the inves-
firrat n 7
fell while trespassing upon the track
and was run over by the train, the
crew Of which had no opportunity or
occasion to see him. There is no evil
dence of fault on the part Of anyone
except himself"
Two complaints against the st..
Croix Gas Light CO. Of Calais have
been filed with the Public Utilities
Commission. They are signed by Har-
old H. Murchie and others. The COM
plants are similar, charging unreal
sonable and undue rates for gas and
electricity respectively.
In the complaint in the matter Of
rates for electricity and electric SER
vice it is charged that the schedule Of
rates coming under the classification
published by the commission June I
to become effective July 1 is not rea-
sonable and just and is an undue and
large return on the fair
value Of the company's property and
is therefore unreasonably and unjust
ly discriminatory: that the schedule is
continued in effect for the purpose Of
enabling the company to declare and
pay dividends upon the whole capital
stock Of the company, a considerable
amount Of which was Improperly is

SPECIAL TEST GAR
HERE On TRIP over
Maine. TROLLEY LINES
Sent Out by Worcester Poly
technic Institute of Worces-
ter, Mass, It Is Now Testing
Bonds on Electric Railroads

The special test car of the Worces-
ter Polytechnic Institute of Worcester,
Mass. which arrived in Maine about
two weeks ago and is making tour of
the various trolley line systems of
the State. arrived in Augusta Thurs
day early in the afternoon, and was
later run out over the Winthrop line
of the Lewiston, Augusta & Water
Vile Street Railway. Today it will be
run out over the line between Angus
ta and the National Home at Togus
and on returning it will be taken to
Waterville. The car is in charge of
Walter D. Stearns, an instructor in
the Worcester Polytechnic Institute,
assisted by Allan H. Richardson, a
Senior at the institute, and the street
railroad company is represented by
Assistant Engineer Fred Emery of
Lewiston, electrician for the road.
Previous to coming on to the L., A.
& W. system the car had been on the
lines of the Cumberland County Pow
er & Light Co.
This car, which is in general appear
ance not unlike a passenger car and
is neatly painted in dark green with
gilt trimmings, is the only one of its
kind in the world. 1t is 40 feet long,
weighs 26A tons and is equipped with
double trucks and motors. 1t has air
brakes, electric fan and all machinery
usual to an interurban car 1t has also
Z clever continuance whereby 1t can
be run at low rate of speed of per-
haps six miles an hour or at a 3O-mile
clip. 1t was designed at the institute
by the faculty and all of its apparatus
was designed and built in the labora :
tory and shops of the school. The car
proper was built in Cincinnati in 1907,
for instruction purposes at the insti-
tute, and is now used for that purpose
during the fall, winter and spring
months 1t has now been in every New
England state outside of Vermont. The
car was brought into Maine over
steam railroads as there is no physical
connection between Maine and New
Hampshire trolley lines.
Included in the work to be done by
the car is the testing of bonds, which
means the wiring which connects up
the ends of rails tthe joints) of an
electric road, thereby granting a prop
er transmission of the electric current.
BY an arrangement Of delicate instru-
ments connecting with the brushes
which rest upon the track complete
record of the electrical condition OF
each joint is automatically recorded.
This record is in pen and ink and
holes burnt in a sheet of paper. The
condition Of both rails is recorded at
the same instant. This record is later
reduced TO a typewriter report. so
that officials of the road upon which
tests are made can tell at glance the
exact condition of every bond" there
on. Not only that, they can give its
exact location to a repair crew so that
said crew can leave the car within
a dozen feet of the place ii is to work.
