ADJOURNMENT NEAR
Confident 1t Will Ad-
jOurn This MOnth-PrOgress
on Educational Bill.

A meeting of the steering commit
tee of the legislature was held yes
terday morning and while it was felt
doubtful about completing business
this week every one was confident
it could be done this month. The
big business yesterday was the or
dering to third reading by an al
most unanimous vote the substitute
educational bill. But one speech
was made and that was by A. L.
Hewitt of Plainfield, chairman of the
committee on education, and many
said it was the best speech of the
session. There may be some oppo-
sition when the bill comes up for pas
sage today but the expectation yes
terday afternoon was that it would
pass.
The senate has not acted on the
primary bill as yet and it is possible
it will not accept the amendments
made by the house but insist on the
the bill in it's original form.
Some big appropriation bills were
passed by the house Monday. One
provides $25, 900 for state aid for
highways, one for SIS, 900 for state
dlu O4 lIQSCO dn0 OnC LII OOsOOU
for the home for feeble-minded. The
big bill, however, was the bill pro-
viding for the support of govern
ment carrying appropriations total
ling $2,104,OOO.
The senate on Monday passed the
bill which empowers the board of
health to quarantine persons aff1ic-
ted with venereal disease and it is
pected Gov Gates will sign the mea-
sure.
H 404, the bill creating a state
fair commission and providing for
aid to agricultural fairs, was passed
by the house Monday afternoon with
Senate amendment. The continue
ton of agricultural extension by
state cooperation with the federal
government was ordered, the passage
of H 452 providing for $4,000 an
nually.
For Support of the Government
On Tuesday of last week Redfield
Proctor, chairman of the committee
on appropriations, introduced a bill
to provide for the support of gov
ernment. The sum of $125,O0O isl
appropriated for paying the de-
bentures of the lieutenant-gov-
ernor, the Senate, House of
Representatives and contingent ex-
penses of the general assembly for the
session of 1917; the sum of $780,
600 for the support of the insane
for the fiscal years 1916 and 1917;
the sum of 100000 for the support
of the state prison for the fiscal years
1916 and 1917; the sum of 100000
for the support of the house of cor
rection for the fiscal years 1915 and

the loss sustained by the various in
dividuals.
The committee has completed its
investigation and filed a report with
the town clerk but refused to make
their findings and recommendation
public to the voters at this time.
Met Public Service Commission
The selectmen had a meeting in
Simonds and Searles Office Monday
forenoon with r. G. Bacon, chairman
of the public service commission;
Stoddard B. Bates, state highway
commissioner, and some of the Of
fcials of the Boston and Maine road
to further discuss the elimination of
the two crossings in question. An
agreement was reached with the
state and the railroad that the town
should pay only 25 per cent of the
cost of the work. Commissioner
Bates also said that some of the state
money could be used on the new
highway and a part of the mainte-
nance money on the changing OF the
highway on the west side of the river.

LATE FINANCIER'S CREATION
Its Organization in 1902 Monument to the
Genius of j. P. Morgan, Now Deceased
Controlled Many Liners
By the United Press Associations.


NEW YORK, Apr. 3.-A petition for
a receiver for the International Mer-
camille Marine company was filed by
the New York Trust company today.
It is alleged that the concern, known
as the shipping trust" defaulted on
$2,300,000 interest on its bonds.
The company was formed by the late
J. Pierpont Morgan and its business
was estimated at $50,000,000 annually.
The receivership was precipitated by
losses sustained on account of the
war. The company which is the larg-
est of it's kind in the world, controls
the White Star, Red Star, American,
Atlantic, Transport, Dominion, and
Leyland lines. 1t was formed in 1902
as the crowning working of Mr.. Nor
gans genius for organization.
