/ thought he was there to defend the
herd from slaughter, according to ar
rangements l had made earlier in the
day with Judge Edwards. l could

terized the basketball game played
Thursday evening at the Y. NJ. c. a.
building between the Wassitts Of Au-
burn and the T. n. c. A. which was
won by the latter team by the score
of 80 to 20. From start to finish it
was one Of the most interesting games
that has been played in the city this
winter and a large number. of lovers
of the sport witnessed the match.
Too much praise cannot be given
the Y. NJ. c. A. boys for their clever
work both on offensive and defensive.
Thompson and Henry led in capturing
the baskets for this team, Captain
Thompson getting total Of five and
Henry four. Purinton and Henna, the
forwards on the home team, were also
in form and boosted the score in
fine manner And on the defensive
Leighton and Smiley played a star
game.
Solomon was easily the star Of the
visiting team. making five goals from
the floor and one goal from foul. The
Wassitts shwed speed at passing but
were slightly outclassed by the mem
bers of the home team.
The game commenced well for the
Wassitts. The Y. NJ. c. A. boys were
not then fully awake to the situation
and the half ended with the score OF
10 to Il in favor of the visitors.
But early in the second period the
Y. N. c. A. quintet struck its pace,
which it kept up through the half, tho
score Of 80 to 20 telling the rest o.
the story.

By order of the Public Utilities
Commission, the compliments T. Y.
Holloway and others against the Ban
gor & Aroostook Railroad Co, were di-
rected to file specifications to make
more explicit their charges against the
railroad. These charges alleged tina.
as a result of the nom settlement Of
the strike which started two years ago
the service of the road has not been
maintained and that there have been
numerous accidents.
In reply to the complaint the re-
spondent filed two motions one call
ing for specifications and the other
requesting an order striking out of the
petition a certain paragraph alleged in
the motion to relate to matters no.
in the jurisdiction Of the commission.
Commissions Decision
The commissioners say in part:
There can be no doubt of the power
Of this commission to order specifica-
tions whenever necessary inasmuch as
Sec. 81 of the utilities act provides
that the practice before this commits
sion shall be the same as any civil ac-
ton in the supreme judicial court
Counsel for the petitioners does not
deny this, and suggests that the filing
of the specifications would be equiva-
lent to stating to the respondent all
Of petitioners evidence. An examina-
ton of the complaint shows that the
allegations are that respondent is
neither making schedule time in its
passenger service, nor giving adequate
service in its freight department.: also
