ASSAULT CASE

-Pleading guilty to assault upon Reu-
Ell Copp, a motorman for the Somer-
set Traction Co. Linwood Nutting was
fined SO and costs. amounting to SIS,
in the municipal court before Judge
H. H. Brazzell this afternoon. Imme-
diately following he paid Cox, il is
understood. $500 in a civil action for
the same deed.
\ few nights ago, little before the
local o'clock car was to leave. the
passengers heard in the front >-sti-
bule a commotion aad a. rush on the
door Soon a heavy groan was heard
and the door few open and Mr.. Copp,
the motorman, staggered through the
car. his face streaming with blood and
several big gashes in his head above
his forehead and cried: He hit me
with tl1at--he hit me over the head
with that holding up a heavy crank
motor control Following, in an eXcit-
ed condition, Nutting came in, wiping
his lip and said: Il will learn him to
hit me- He then went off and got
into mis- team that had been waiting
for him and rode away. Cops wounds
were dressed and he has since been
suffering with violent pains on the
head about the six gashes he receiv-
ed.
No evidence was taken at the hear
ing, as Nutting admitted the act. It
was alleged that Nutting got from his
team near the car and went to enter
the front end but was stopped by
Copp. He then went back to the team
and took his coat off and then came
back and grabbed the motor lever
from its place. struck Copp.
1t was gathered from those person
ally interested in the matter that Mr.
Nutting, according to the story. had
several weeks before been in trouble
with Mr.. Copp and struck him in the
face. No action was then taken but
the superintendent OF the company
told Eutting never to board one Of the
cars from the front end. Nothing more
had been heard Of the matter until the
recent assault.

OPPOSE BILL TO
STOP PENSIONS
FOR JUSTICES

Frank l.. Dutton of Augusta and W.
R. Pattangall Of WatervilIe appeared
before the committee. on legal affairs
this afternoon in opposition TO the bill
abo!ishing the pensions OF justices Of
the supreme court which they now re-
ceive after they reach the age of Il
and wish 10 retire. They argued that
the pension system is good for the JUS
tees and good for the courts as 1t al
lows men Of ability to devote their
best years to the bench and then live
in comfort the remainder of their lives
AMI also prevents old men retaining
their positions because they need their
salaries. The salaries of judges are
none too large in this State anyhow
and those who are receiving pensions
now have earned all they will ever get.
What little business the retired jus
tees are able to do does not count and
tn,y deserve all they can make in this
way in addition TO any pension.
1t was also argued that it would be
an INJUSTICE to the justices who have
retired with the promise of the State of
Maine that they should have pensions
to break that agreement and deprive
them OF their pensions, as well as an
injustice to those now serving with the
understanding that they are to receive
pensions when they reach the age Of
Il if they SO elect.

TRACY SUPPORTS ACT TO CREATE
PE0pI ES' WATER RIGHTS ANDP0WER
COMMISSION FOR THIS STATE

y. E. Tracy Of Auburn appeared
Wednesday before the committee on
interior waters to advocate the en-
dorsement Of the act to create the
PEOPLES Water Rights and Pow er
Commission of. Maine and to provide
for the taking over, by the State, of
all water powers, developed and I'M
developed This bill was before the
LEGISLATURE of 1913 and was written by
Mr.. Tracy. At that time the commit
tee reported ought not to pass and
the bill was dead. In advocating his
bill Wednesday Mr. Tracy declared
the title to the powers rested in the
people of the State through deed
granted Oct. 16, 1891, by Mary and
William, King and Queen of England.
This was a warranty deed
He said that there was about 1900 900
horse power in Maine. OF this but
500. 600 was developed. He figured that
a few dams would make it possible
to develop two million horsepower
Steam power now costs in Maine 500
per horsepower a year. Cut that price
in two for the water power and 1t
would give Milne an income of s60.O00.-
900 a year. After spending 100000
for riparian rights, $15.000.0j0 for run
ming expenses. there would be left $2O,-
600. 900 and there would be a return of
$685. for each person in the State and
no taxes to pay.
Harvey D. Eaton opposed the meas
ure He felt it was an impossible mat
ter for the Legislature to deal with.
TIC start with, he pointed out. there
was a constitutional debt limit in
Maine which the proposition ran UP
against. The author of the bill had ne
elected to show where the uses of this
vast power were to come from. Maine
had the largest development of horse
power per capita Of any State in the
Union and but a, small portion of the
availa BILE power had been developed.
New York, said Mr.. Eaton. has a
population of 9,110,o00 and has a de-
veloped water power of 100000 horse
power, or 09 horsepower per capita.
California has population Of 2,37,-
600 and developed horsepower Of
100000 or 019 per capital. while Maine
has a population Of 1891 and a de-
veloped horsepower Of $4,000 or 0.5O
per capita
Mr.. Eaton then briefly discussed the
question of ownership Of water pow
ers in the State.

Hon. s. D. Warren of Westhrook
dissaproved of the bill. 1t was not
practical. he thought. There was a.
misunderstanding as 10 the cheapnesS
of water power. Steam power did not
cost s65 per horse power, as had been
stated and he did not think water
power could be sold for $50 per horse
power. If this company had the money
which it had expended in developing
the Presumpscot river it could estab-
lish steam plant at tide water and
furnish itself with power cheaper than
it was now getting. The steam oper-
ated paper mills for Pennsylvania and
Virginia were today a serious menace
to the paper making establishments OF
Maine He looked for no great further
extension of the paper and textile
mills Of this State.
w S. Wyman of the Central Maine
Power Co, said his company had been
in existence for % years yet it could
sell only about $4,000 horsepower OF
electricity. They had minimum rate
of s1.25 per horsepower per month for
a 10-hour day and this they found
was prohibitive in many cases. This
was less than the minimum provided
in the Tracy bill.
In behalf of the Rockport Ice Co,
ex-senator Arthur H. Packard Of
Rockport objected to the bill. Repre-
sentative Plummer of. Lisbon also OPP
posed the bill. Former Representative
Jenkins of Wales supported the bill.
In closing the hearing Mr.. Tracy de-
clared that the enactment of the law
would bring manufactures to the
State and build up prosperity. He
warned the attorneys and others pres
ent that he was an owner in this water
powers and would not stand for tres
pass upon them by any person.
