gard as a public enemy any senator or
member of Congress who tries to de-
lay or thwart this purpose" Senator
Tillman declared.

he, Just as we have had all along.

The critics of the navy department
under Secretary Daniels have been
unusually active and outrageous in
their work not hesitating to even
make false statements" said the SEN
ator. One man particularly active in
this criticism has been his immediate
predecessor. Mr.. Meyer seems to be
unconscious of the fact that in indi-
eating the navy. as he has under Sec
rotary Daniels, he, in truth, is indicat-
ing himself and his Republican prede-
cessors in the navy department. Con-
gress has appropriated enough money
but it has been squandered, misappro-
priated, or spent unwisely. Poor old
Massachusetts, How unfortunate in
giving birth to such man as he,

to scorn,-if such a little and mean
man can hold her up to scorn-by the
actions of Mr. Won L. Meyer
Concluding, Senator Tillman made
a Plea for prompt action on his armor
plate bill.
Nothing but brazen effrontery and
unhridled greed, aided by official cor
ruption in Washington. can delay the
passage of this bill. and hope that il

ACTION CAUSES
LITTLE SURPRISE
IN THIS COUNTRY

New York, Dec. 1.-THE decision Of the
British government 70 make outright
purchases Of American securities caused
no surprise here.
international bankers regarded the
proposition as in the nature of tender
or bid made so!elys:.an the interest Of
strengthening and maintaining exchange
between this country and London The
elimination OF brokerage or commission
implies that the government intended TO
deal direct with the seller.
The recent revival Of liquidation Of oar
securities by British owners has further
reduced the amount OF American stocks
and bonds owned in Great Britain. but a
conservative estimate places the total Of
such holdings at this time as well in eN-
cess Of two billion dollars

her misfortune and why she came to

police to be Of the utmost Importance to
them and 10 have much TO 90 with their

a report from the chemists at BowdoiH
upon the condition found in the organs
Of the girl which were sent here Friday

In view Of developments OF Us past

if the rolice make = definite move within

70 make any statement does not deny
that important information mas been
given the department by Miss Anna
Ouellette. the young woman with
whom Hazel Goud roomed III Auburn.
prior TO her Abundance to the Donnell
hospital
Miss Ouelle-te was brought 10 the
Lewiston chiefs Office by Marshal Bu-
chairman Of Auburn, who has been
heartily cooperating with the Lewis
ton department. There she was ques
toned by Chief McCarron. County At
torney Hines and Medical Examiner
Haskell The questions put to Miss
Ouellette were Very pointed and result
ed in startling admissions. so it is said.
Naturally the officers decline to make
the nature Of the young woman's story
public, but il is known that il was con-
sidered OF such importance that it was
reduced to writing and her signature
under oath obtained TO the same.
So strong was this statement that il
is known it was. al one time Sunday
night thought an arrest would be
made before morning.
This arrest. mad it been made, while
il might have had bearing upon the
Goud case, would have been actually
upon a separate charge from anything
pertaining TO the death of Miss Goud.
In Cheerful Mood
In no way did Hazel Goud appear
downcast upon her arrival in these
cities. To the contrary she was cheer
full and apparently in the very best
of spirits.
Together with Anna Ouellette she
accompanied Conductor Oscar Stewart
of the L., A. & W. service to a pie so
ciable at the Thorne's Corner Grange
hall on the night of her appearance in
the town. There she was seen by a
large number of people. Being a
stranger she attracted a great deal
of attention and many were the COM
ments as to her appearance.
Photo Does Injustice
The photograph does not do the dead
girl justice, at least to those who saw
her on the night of Friday, Nov. IS.
Then she was decidedly attractive. APP
pearing rather petite and her face
wore constant smile and there was a
happy sparkle TO her eyes.
AS those who saw her there recall
it she appeared to be the very life Of
those about her, joking and making
merry over the games played and
having a very fine time in connection
with the three or four old-fashioned
contra dances, quadrlles and one or
two waltZes which were had in con-
nection with the games.
