A half-stiver of 1873 bearing the
head of Georgius III, and on the re-
verse the inscription Colonies of Is
saquebo and Demarary Token" The
coin is listed as of the value of one
cent, American money.
An American three-cent silver piece
Of the old Fish Scale" variety is a
curio. An American scent coin of
1882 is in splendid condition and a
rarely. A half-cent of 1904 is in per-
feet shape and also of value Copper
cents of 1865. 1901 1902, 1914 and 1917
are also well preserved.
A series Of English coins, from the
old two-pence to the crown, is worth
having. All but the two-pence are in
splendid condition, but that little coin
shows its age and service. That value
is no longer coined. The lot also in

Registrations Of Automobiles

The busiest place in all Maine at the

work on the registration of automobiles
And these girls work all the time, in fact
1t IS SO quiet in this office nowadays, that
rs, outside of the clicking of the type-
writer's. that some of the callers liken it
to.a school. This is the busy time of the
year for the registration of automobiles
as they begin to come in right after the
first Of April. 1t is said that there are a
number of persons in Maine who would
not buy an automobile until after the
hrst'of April so as to escape the munich
pal taxation on the car due at that time.
The office force was right up to the min
ute on the work at noon Saturday and
thus far over 1000 machines have been
registered since the first of the present
wear: 1t is believed that before the year
is finished that over 1900 automobiles
will, have been registered.

WOMAN FOUND DEAD
IN new YORK CITY

New York, April lin the finding
of the body of a woman under a small
pile of stones in a vacant lot in Rose
the local police were confronted with
one of the most mysterious murder
cases in recent years. An autopsy Sat
urday night revealed that the woman,
VIVA was about to become a mother,
had been killed by blows on the skull
from an axe which was also used to
hack both her wrists. She was foreign
born and wore a wedding ring.
Hoops and slaves from a broken
barrel, found near the body, and the
close proximity of the New Haven
Railroad tracks, caused the police
Saturday night to work on the theory
that the woman had been murdered at
some distant point and that her body
had then been packed in barrel and
brought over the railroad to the spot
where it was found.
Apparently the woman was about %
years old. She was of medium height
and weight and of fair complexion. The
clothing was dark and of inferior quail
ity.
Two rings and two cheap pins were
the only jewelry found on the body. A
handkerchief without initials was
found in her pocketbook.
Short, dark hairs, which detectives
thought were those of a man, chung
to comb found near the body and
were also inside q torn glove taken
from tho wOrnan'S hand
The autopsy Saturday night remov-
ed any doubt the police had earlier
that the body might have been multi
ated from the weight of the stones pill
ed on it. Dr. Thomas Curtin, coroner's
physician, said the woman had been
killed with an axe.

revolution had been broken by the fact
that the rebels had failed to win over any
of the government troops.
Because of the financial strngency in
Nicaragua and the failure of the treaty
with the United States which would have
given the government $1,000, eco, Nicaragua
has recalled all her diplomats except Mr..
Chamorro. leaving her affairs at other
capitals than Washington in the hands

RAILROAD REPRESENTATIVES seek
RAISE IN CERTAIN FREIGHT Rates

roads, not to bring about any Increase
in freight rates.
o. Z. Butterfield, representing cara
riers of official classification territory.
declared the Cummins amendment
should be SO construed by the commits
sion that carriers might eliminate from
their present bill of lading the clause
fixing liability for damage to the in
voice price, of the shipments, but re-
tain the clause giving lat the place and
time of Shipment, as the basis for
damage claims. This action should be
taken prior to June 3, he said, and the
roads which he represented would then
not expect and general freight rate in
crease. With respect to live stock.
household goods and number of other
commodities rates on which depend on
values, Mr.. Butterfield argued there is
added liability under the Cummins
amendment, and an increase in ute
normal rates should be permitted.
Lincoln Green, general traffic manager
of the Southern railway, and apparently
spokesman for the roads in the South,
contended that the railroads could auto
matically increase their rates ten per
cent otter June 8. He said. however,
that instead Of such an increase the
Southern proposed to make such mod-
fioation in its bills Of lading as would
result in a five per cent increase on
certain commodities where the risk will
increase with the full liability clause
in operation.
G. L. Hillyer, representing shippers
Of live stock declared that no increase
which would amount to mere than two
or cent advance in freight rates for
every increase of 100 per cent in the
value OF the shipment, could be con-
sidered justified.

Washington, April 11.-Increase or
certain freight rates and modification
of the present form of bills Of lading
were proposed by railroad representa-
tivestives, while a six months test un-
der present conditions was the coun-
ter proposal Of traffic associations at
conference Saturday called by the
interstate commerce commission TO
discover how how carriers and ship
pers viewed changed obligations arts
ing from the Cummins amendment to
the railroad rate act.
The amendment becomes effective
June s. The commission itself is un-
derstood not to be entirely clear as
to it's effect, and today's conference
was called to learn whether there is
common ground on which the rail-
roads, the shippers and the commits =
sion can reach an adjustment.
After discussion that lasted all day,
Commissioner Clark adjourned the
conference, but gave all parties per-
mission to file briefs before April 20.
Under present bills Of lading with
limited liability, the carriers undertake
the transportation of freight at the
rates now in effect. Their tariffs,
however provide that where the ship
per demands full liability there shall
be an automatic increase in the
freight rate of 10 per cent. The car
riers held today that when the Cum
Minis amendment prohibiting limita-
ton of liability becomes effective they
may automatically increase their
freight rates 10 per cent.
This contention was not accepted by
the traffic association representatives,
who declared that the intent merely
was to increase the liability Of the
