INTERESTING WATER CASE
TAKEN INTO COURT
G. w. Robbins of Old Town
Fighting Alleged Discrimina-
ton in Price Charged Him
by the Water Company

Old Town. Me-, April 2S-Chester w.
Robbins of this city, who several years
ago won in suit against the Bangor
Railway & Electric Co, for electric
charges, has filed a suit in the supreme
court again. On, the claim that the COM
pany has Disseminated against him in
the matter of charges for use of water
He filed application in the supreme court
Saturday for an Injunction against the
company. that the water supplied to
his property shall not be shut off as
threatened by the company. Justice
Cornish Issued the injunction and set
May 4 as the date of the hearing in the
matter
In his presentment, Mr.. Robbins re-
cites how he is the owner of certain
property in Old Town. occupied by ten
ants and supplied as to water by the
service pipes and water supply owned
and operated by the Bangor Railway
& Electric Co.. which it further recites,
owns and controls said supply and is
the only available supply: that the COM
pany is therefore, by law, compelled to
supply water IN reasonable quantity Tor
all purposes on payment or tender of a
reasonable compensation.
He claims said corporation adopted, on
or about Jan. !, 1905. new system Of
distributing water, whereby a fiat rate
had been superseded, to certain con-
sumers, by a meter system and that
thereafter these certain consumers We're
obliged to have meters placed in their
buildings. After that time these meter
users were obliged to pay a charge of
so much per 1000 cubic feet and that he,
the plaintiff, had been obliged to pay the
highest meter rate and was not given,
the benefit Of the lowest rates as pro-
vided by said company, although he had
learned that others were paying a lower
rate than he was.
That he had requested and demanded
the lowest rate and it had been refused
him, that he had offered to settle a bill
against him for Steps for water service,
Offering to settle by being allowed over
charge which he claimed by virtue or
the alleged excess charge and it had
been refused and he had been notified
that his water would be shut off
He therefore prayed that an Injunction
should be issued, restraining the com.

were made in Colorado. named specimens
were secured from that state and they
proved to be different from the species
just discussed which migrates from haw-
thorn 70 clover in Maine. So ''brevis"
did not have TO change its name. but the
fact that this hawthorn aphid was also
clover pest led to q second discovery
by this Station and that was that our
hawthorn species while on clover, and
the clover species described from Colora-
do had been confused by collectors and
had been supposed TO be the same
species.
A careful comparison Of these two
clover aphids showed certain differences
in their antennae and a decided differ
ence In beak length, SO our common haw-
thorn species may be known as the long
beaked clover aphid. and the one first
found in Colorado as the short-beaked
clover aphid.
1t was ascertained in Colorado several
years ago that the short-beaked clover
aphid migrated between apple and clover.
It should be stated that the short
beaked clover aphid is also found in
Maine and that the long-beaked clover
aphid extends as far west as Oregon at
least.
If the reader has lost the thread Of this
discussion 1t will not be strange, for
when we are dealing with aphids it is
almost as difficult to follow their COM
plicated life histories on paper as it is
In the field. Perhaps the following sum-
mary will make clear the points in this
situation which have been due to dis
coveries made by this Station.
I. The hawthorn aphid (Aphid brevis)
migrates to the clover where 1t causes,
when abundant, considerable damage and
is really the same species as the long
beaked clover aphid.
2. Two species of clover aphids (the
long-beaked and the short-beaked) were
found to be confused under the same
scientific name. (Aphis bakerD. Struc-
tural characters were found to distin-
guish these so that this confusion is
now Strengthened out. ~
The result is that we now know that
we have two clover aphids with similar
life histories.-that is, an annual nligra-
ton from the winter and spring host
plant to the clover for the summer and
then back again. to hawthorn or apple

Houlton. Me. April 2S.-With the

on liquor charges by the grand jury,
which also returned indictments
against many of the drug stores.

here had left for parts unknown be-
cause Of the action of the grand jury.

men. The indictments have occa-
stoned much comment locally and the
general impression seems to be that
the cases will not be published by
the county attorney.
A number of the prisoners against
whom indictments were returned,
were arraigned before Justice Phil
brook Monday. 1t is expected that
the criminal docket will be reached
by the last Of the week.
Joseph Delpheno OF Presque Isle

COMMON HAWTHORN
APnlD A CLOVER PEST

Orcno. Me-. April 1.-Through the work
of the Maine Agricultural Experiment
Station, an interesting discovery has been
made concerning the life history Of a
plant louise common in this State. This
species. (Aphis brevis) was described
in 1901 in Delaware where it was found
upon apple and ounce. In Maine, the
Station Eneomologist has found It very
abundant on hawthorn where II causes
the leaves in June to twist into dark pur-
pie swollen curis. This species has been
under observation for several years, the
point which was the particular object Of
study was the summer residence Of the
aphid. For this is one Of the migratory
species which spends the winter in the
egg stage on one kind Of plant. passing
through the spring generations there and
then departing for fresh pasturage.
ton and with many species the migrants
when they desert the host plant upon
which they have been feeding. seek q
plant Of an entirely different sort Thus
the plant louise destructive to hops passes
part Of its life cycle upon plum trees.
This alienation Of food plants is point
in the life history OF aphids Of great
economic significance, for II sometimes
happens that a species can be controlled
On one plant and thus its attack upon
the other or alternate'host be prevented.
Now. Aphis brevis had never been re-
corded on its summer foodplant and
where it went when 1t left the hawthorn
Cor apple or auince) was a mystery.
However. it looked just like a species
found on clover and called Aphis baker,.
So migrants from the hawthorn were
Gagged over ported alsike and white clover
in the Station laboratories. They settled
on the clover plants feeding there and
producing young which accepted the
clover and sticking little beaks into the
stem fed and grew until they were ma
ture and in turn produced young. On
the clover they did considerable damage.
This proved that the species common
on hawthorn and the one on clover were
the same species and as "bakeri' on
clover was named in 1895 and 'brevis'' on
ounce was named in 1901, il looked as
though the hawthorn aphid would have
to change its name to "bakeri.''
