Grayest Fears Entertained of Trouble

president, agreed to become the en-
peror of China. He announced his
acceptance to the council of state.
His coronation will be postponed for
perhaps year and in the meantime
he will continue az president Of the
republic, with virtual imperial pow
ers
With the announcement that Yuan
Shi Kai had accepted the change
came the gravest fears Of trouble with
Japan. 1t is feared that while the
Powers which might check Japan's
ambitions are engaged as they now
are the Nipponese will begin an ag-
gressive campaign to dominate China
/ Japan May Interfere.
The fact that the mikado's govern
ment protested a month ago against
the suggestion that China be changed
from a republic to a monarchy is
looked upon as one indication that
she will interfere. Many statesmen
believe Japan well knew at that time
an empire was inevitable and made
its protests with the idea Of having
an excuse for a subsequent interfer-
ence with Chinese affairs. The new
emperor has taken cognizance of this
situation in announcing that he will
not be crowned for year. In an
nouncing his acceptance It is thought
he has created the impression in the
minds of most Chinese that he has
taken on regal authority.
Japan Must Wait Her Turn.

will not materalize as a matter of
form for Year. In that time, the
great European war may end or may
be so near finish that Japan might
fear even If she conquered China all
that she gained would be taken
away.
Whether the ruse will be success
ful, no one can say. II Is feared ia.
pan will find another means to bring
about difference between herself and
the new empire. But all this was dis.
cussed before Yuan Shi Ka was
and the Chinese have decided

Rome, Jan. 13.-Italy has
again been visited by an earth
quake of great extent which, ac-
cording to the latest advices, has
destroyed towns and villages and
resulted in the death of $4,000

10000 more.
The shock was the strongest
that Rome has felt for more
than a hundred years. The town
Of Avezzano, in The Abruzzi de-
partment 63 miles east of Rome
has been levelled to the ground !;
5000 persons are reported to

He ruled that ballots of size ana
color or shape different from those
furnished by the secretary of the Sen
ate officially should rot be counted
if found in the ballot box but returned
to the convention together with other
ballots cast for the attention of the
members and decision as to their
validity. The cause for President Her
sey's ruling was found in the presence
of Newbert ballots totally different
from the Newbert ballots provided by
the State. The Democrats desired to-
make use of these ballots in order
that they might distinguish between
their ballots and the Republican and
Progressive ballots. thereby fixing
the identity of the recalcitrant DEM

move in spite Of the fact that their

in the balloting. 1t was not only a
demonstration of small politics of
the most puerile brand, but an open
attempt to violate the constitutional

The afternoon session was taken up

continuance of its effective work.
The principal address at the after

Parsons Address
\ portion of the address follows.
Mr.. President and Members of the Bar
Association of the state of Maine:
Recall of judges and the recall of Judi
cial decisions are two propositions which
have been attacked with more or less
violence, generally more, upon many oc-
casions since their PRONUNCIATION a few
years ago. Within a year l have listened
to public addresses from members of the
highest courts of two Of the leading
states Of the Union in which the so-called
doctrines of judicial recall and the re-
call Of decisions have been each assailed
with the greatest asperity and charac-
teriZed as mere i.i-natured attacks upon
judicial independence ard as utterly ilog-
zeal and indefensble.
Instead. Of denouncinG the symptom
which may be the illosicai outcry of un-
trained minds a scientific consideration
OF the situation looks beyond the surface

ural propositions may not indicate some

CURTIS HASN'T SAID A WORD
ON HIS ENFORCEMENT POLICY

Governor Curtis says he has not
said thing, not thing. not a word,
in regard to his policy on the en-
forcement of the prohibitory require
ments of the Constitution. He does
not lnince his words: he speaks very
emphatically. All doubt is dispelled,
not as to the Governors attitude on
the prohibitory amendment, but as to
what he has thus far said about it.
When he gets good and ready he will
speak his mind and he will not tell any
pretty fairy tales in the meantime.
In a written statement given to mem
bers Of the press at the State House
last evening Governor Curtis thus as
serts himself:
Il notice that some newspapers are
filling up space on their front pages
with statements designed to convey
the impression to the public mind
that have been interviewed on the
question Of prohibition and that I
have made certain statements regard
ing enforcement of the liquor laws.
Not wishing TO travel under any
false colors. it seems to me necessary
to state that have given no inter-
views on the question, that have not
been approached concerning it and
that / have said nothing.
When I have anything to say on
this subject there will be no purported
interviews. no fairy tales, no vague
rumors; no need for qualification Of
the published statement by the adroit
use of the phrases: 1T is said: or

At 5.45 P. Nj. Wednesday afternoon

in the middle aisle of the House of
Representatives and took the oath of
Office. This morning he will sit in the
seat previously occupied by Levite
Thibodeau of Van Buren, whom he
displaces as representative from the
Van Buren, class. The vote to accept
the majority report of the committee
on elections which resulted in the un-
seating Of Mr.. Thibodeau was almost a
strict party vote; every Republican
voted nay on the motion to accept the
report, every Democrat except Paul
Thibodeau, brother of Levite, voted
yea, two Progressives voted yea and
two nay. Libby and Campbell siding
with the Democrats There were IS
votes to accept the majority report and
- to reject it. The resolve depriving
ThibodeGu of his seat and awarding it
to Michaud was passed Immediately
after the announcement of the yea and
nay vote, and a few minutes later
Michaud took the seat.
