State House, Trenton, April o.
The Legislature will convene in spe-
cial session at IL o'clock noon on Mon
day next to remedy at least one of
the errors of the regular session just
closed. Governor Fielder to-day is
sued proclamation calling upon the
Legislature to meet on Monday for
the purpose of agreeing upon a bill
to provide for a constitutional cleo
ton.
The action of the Governor follows
upon the receipt by Secretary of State
Thomas F. Martin of an opinion from
Attorney General j. w. Westcott, in
which he holds that the Read bill is
unavoidable and any election under the
provisions of this measure would be
open to endless litigation. The session
has been called for Monday because it
is the earliest date that the Governor
could fix and still give the members
due notice. As the executive will leave
for the west on Saturdayfi May 9, it
can be seen that he does not desire
any time wasted on this special ses-
sion.
Governor Fielder and Attorney Cen
eral Westcott were in conference a
great part of to-day drafting a bill
that will meet the legal requirements
and to which the suffragists can find
no fault. 1t is the intention to finish
this measure to-day and have it
printed. Copies are to be sent to the
members tomorrow so that they can
be acquainted with it's provisions when
they come here Monday. The ma
jority leaders in the Houses will be
asked to introduce the bill.
Suffrage Law Defects
The bill, upon which the Attorney
General has rendered his opinion, was
introduced by Senator Read of Cam
den and sets October 10, for the date
of the special election. It embodies
three proposed amendments to the
constitution, the equal suffrage, easier
method of amendment to the constitu-
ton and excess condemnation of

Where the wood-streams glide and
break
And in the dark, still pools
The ferns unfurling tendrils
Deep green shadows make.
Where the green frog swims and
splashes
And the brook trout glides
And through the budding branches
The spring sun seeks and hides.
City streets are bare and dusty
City life is scar and cold
In the woods and in the country
There Gods glories all unfold.

COMMITTEE HEARS
TWO TAX BILLS

The committee on taxation was in
session for four solid hours Tuesday
afternoon during which time a bewil-
dering array of facts, figures and
theories were Observation-Disclosures
upon two bills-those providing for a
tax of three mills on intangible person.
al property, and the measure which
would tax interest bearing deposits in
national banks.
Bertram c. McIntire, State asses
sor, appeared for the first measure and
gave figures to show the large amount
of intangible personal property which
he said entirely escaped taxation at
present. He said the bill was framed
on the Minnesota law, which requires
owners of stocks and bonds to submit
a list to the assessors.
Hon. J. P. Bass of Bangor favored
increasing the tax from three to 10
mills, on the theory that intangible
personal property should pay as much
as real estate. He would have % per
cent paid into the State treasury and
the remainder go to the cities and
towns. Mr.. Bass favored a heavy pen
atty for anyone who endeavored to
conceal property Of this sort and a
provision that, if any so concealed
was found in a safe deposit box after
a mans death, certain amount
should be confscated. He thought
such a law would bring to light from
$50, O0O, 600 to s1OO,oOO,oO0 worth of this
sort of property, now concealed, with
in the next five years.
Ill of md
headed by Mayor Jngraham and City
Treasurer Jordan, opposed the meas
ure. Mayor Ingraham said the Port
lan6 assessors were on the job contin-
ually and that half of the intangible
property taxed in Maine was in that
city.

On two points in the act to create
the Bath Water District at the hear
ing before the Judiciary committee
Tuesday. J. NJ. Trott, Of the commits
sion of the Bath City Government to
secure the legislation. and Edward w.
Wheeler of Brunswick. represented the
brunswick & Topsham Water District
and the Maine Power Co., could not
agree, and the bill was referred for
them to consult on it, The Brunswick
& Topsham Water District objected to
the provision that the Bath District
might come into Brunswick for its wa
ter supply, unless the interests of the
Brunswick district were properly safe
guarded. and the Maine Water Co,
whose plant is to be taken over. was
not opposed to the act If proper re-
Enumeration were given, but opposed
the act If proper remuneration were
given. but opposed the section allow
ing the district to petition for right
to inspect the pipe lines, unless this
we're to be done at the expense #
the district, as this would involve dig
ging up many sections Of pipe.
J. F. Sprague of Bath appeared for
an act to amend the method of as
sessnents for sidewalks in that CITY,
SO that assessments should be liens
upon the land.

Arrests for IntOxicatiOn

George E. Fogg, Esq. of Portland ap-
peared before the committee in favor
of an amendment to the statutes relat-
ing to intoXicaton which would provide
that judge in Cumberland county might
sentence a person to not less than 80
days nor more than one year to the coun-
ty farm for intoxication who comes up
before the court for the first time. He
believed that this amendment to the law
would be better for the young men who
had not become confirmed drunkards, ex-
planning that the county farm was estab-
lished primarily for reformation and not
as a punishment for offenders. The pro-
posed amendment did not affect any
county which did not have a county
farm.
Hon. Matthew C. Morrill, of Gray ad-
dressed the committee saying that he
was in favor OF any law which would
send more drunkards to the county farm
than to the county Jail.

GEN. MILES
IS HEARD BY
COMMITTEE

Gen Nelson A Miles, retired, L. : A..
appeared Tuesday afternoon before the
committee on military affairs TO urge the
appropriation by Maine of sum TO as
sist in completing the memorial to Com
modore Perry's victory on Lake Erie In
the War OF 1872. and the peace memorial
celebrating the hundred years peace be-
tween the United States and Great Brl-
tain, now in process of construction at
Put in Bay, South Bass island, Lake
Erie.
Very briefly General Miles reviewed the
history of the memorial idea ana named
the states which had contributed-Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Michigan. Illinois, "iscon-
sin, New York, Rhode Island, Kentucky,
Minnesota and Louisiana. He said that
the main shaft or monument. whlcn
rises to a height of 800 feet, is now COM
pleted This, the highest monument. with
the exception OF the Washington monu-
ment, on the western hemisphere. The
money now needed is to complete the
plaza, 100 feet long and so feet wide, ana
erect at one end a peace temple in COM
.nemoration of the 100 years OF peace, ana
at the other the colorado as planned by
the designers. He then called attention
to the remarkable fact that these two
great countries OF the United States and
Canada had lived these years without a
fort along their 3G0o miles Of boundary
This hundred years of peace was glory
of the age and the country and OF civ
ilization. The nearest approach TO it was
Chilli and the Argentine Republic.
Col. Harry Cutler of the Rhode Island
commission said that $4,000 was needed
to complete the work. This it was ex-
pected to secure from the various states
He said America was the rightful place
for a peace temple. because it was here
that the Russians and Japanese came to
make the treaty of Portsmouth. and it
was here the South American countries
completed last year, their peace.
Senator Sumner Mowry Of Rhode ISL
and. VINO was born in the same town
where Perry was born. and Representa-
tive Harry Davis OF that state also urged
the appropriation by Maine for this pur-
pose The last named called attention
to the fact that the treaty of Ports
mouth should in fact be called the treaty
of Kittery.

ment, and the idea was to employ a
trained road builder who would be ap-
pointed by the mayor for a term Of three
years and who would be given a salary
of 5000 per annum. Mr.. Goddard further
explained that the law would not become
operative until ratified by the voters of
Augusta at a special election called for
that purpose.
Mayor Elmer z. Newbert spoke III
favor Of the proposed change in the
city charter He believed that matters
could be improved in Augusta and he
did not think that 5000 year was too
much OF a salary. He favored the re-
sponsibile executive type in municipal
affairs. He also remarked to the COM
mittee that he never expected to be
mayor Of the city again.
Thomas c. Ingrailam, Walter S. Wy
man, Warren D. Tresk and Rev. Henry
K. Dunnack also spoke in favor OF the
bill and said that as tar as they knew
there was no opposition to It.
Mr. Goddard stated that he believed
that the bill was very conservative and
all that was asked OF the legislature
was to give the people an opportunity
to vote on il.

wherever he might afterward start a
nuisance. Process may be started by
one citizen, instead Of by 90 as at
present. If the complaint Is found I'M
warranted the costs are to be assess
ed against the complainant, but
against the defendant if he is convict
ed. Our nuisance law needs to be
changed said Mr.. Berry, mot only
in the case Of liquor nuisances, but
gambling and brothel nuisances as
we'll, so that instead Of protecting the
nuisances from the people it will pro-
tect the people from the nuisances. -

COMMITTEE WORK OF THE
LEGISLATURE NEARING END

The Tuesday sessions of the House
and Senate were quiet and devoted en-
tirely to routine. The committee hear

the approach of the end in that there
were not only fewer committee meet
ings than usual on Tuesday but few
er measures were taken up than has
been necessary in most of the COM
mittees which conducted hearings. One
committee has practically clean
slate with no hearings pending and
others are fast reaching the end of
their calendars.
