MAINE STEAMER GOES DOWN.
Passengers and Crew Take to Boats
Deadlight Left Open.

ROCKLAND, Me, May 2S - The
mail and passenger steamer w. G..
Putnam went to the bottom while on
her regular run between Metinicus and
Roekland late yesterday. In rough
sea, the ten passengers and the crew
of four took to the ships two small
boats and after hard row of seven
miles, reached Metinicus Island, wet
to the skin.
Although the steamer sank quickly.
the crew managed to save the mail
which they brought to the mainland
tonight in q motorboat. The passen-
gers were able to bring off their hand
baggage.
1t is believed that the sinking of the
Butman was due to the fact that one
of the headlights was not securely
closed. The steamer, which was of a.
tons burden, was owned by her com
mander, Captain w. G. Butman.

Treasury Department Tells
Why Limestone Trim
Is Favored
ELEMENT OF COST
rs OF IMPORTANCE
Use of Marble in Federal Building
Would Cut Out Essential Features
Public Rather Than Quarry Owners
to Be Considered.

Agitation as to the kind of trimming
limestone or marble-which shiH be used
IN the federal building in Brattleboro con
tlnues, and the contract has not yet been
awarded Brattleboro people VIII be great
" disappointed if this needless prolonga-
ton of the discussion results in holding
up the beginning of work on the building
this summer, and in general they win
note with satisfaction the attitude of the
treasury department, which is to give
BrattieborO the best building possible nm
der the appropriation. and the department
asserts that this can be brought about by
the use Of limestone trimmings What
sentiment there is in favor of marble trim
mings seems to be largely manufactured
and i appears to be the general belief
that limestone would harmonic with red
brick better than would most any other
stone
Postmaster NJ J. Moran is in favor of
limestone and has so notified the depart
ment. He wants to see work started on
the structure and he believes the people of
the town viii be satisfied with the iudg-
ment Of the officials having the matter in
charge.
The sitaution is admirably summed up
by an official of the department in a letter
to man prominent in public life, as fol
/ lows
| Il am enclosing some data and draw
iings which | believe will enable you to
see more clearly than has hitherto been
stated just what the situation is In a
word. the stone trimming is so ineonspic-
Euou" part of the building that the aver
| age citizen would never know whether
limestone or marble were used, but the
difference in price is sufficient to make it
| necessary to eliminate from the building
many essential features if marble were
used in place of limestone, so that The
whole thing seems to be summed ND In
this shall the department use limestone
trim and give to the people of Brattleboro
Isuch building as they ought to have, and
the best building that can be erected with
I'm the appropriation; or shall the depart
iment give to the quarry owners of Yer
mont a few thousand dollars, and deprive
the citizens of Brattleboro, and the postal
lservice, Of such a building as they should
have and could have within this appropria-
tion-taking into consideration the fur
ther fact that federal buildings are paid
for, not by localiay or state, but by all
the people of the country2
If this were municipal building, a
schoolhouse, or a county court house, II
would be reasonable to assume that the
: taxpayers of the locality had an unques
toned right to determine all these points. :
