STATE. HOUSE
Utilities Decision Blame Of Cote
Boys Death on Himself
Special Rates for the Stu
dents of Pennington
Normal School

The Public Utilities Commission re-
ported under date Of June Z. its finding
on the accident at Mexico, April %,
which resulted in the death Of Fred
Cote. The report says that Cote with
boy was approaching Bisbee's crossing
on the Rangeley Division Of the Maine
Central Railroad at 8.3S on the morning
Of the accident when the boy got off
the wagon and approached the track on
foot. The wagon was then about 50 feet
from the track which could not be seen
except where 1t crossed the road. The
boy saw the oncoming train and sig
nailed to Cote, he says, but the man
evidently did not see the signal and
drove ahead onto the track where he
was struck by the engine Of passenger
train No. PA Of the Maine Central
Railroad and killed. The commission
reports that the passenger train was
regular one and running on schedule
time and not only whistled before
reaching the crossing but was ringing
the bell, also. The train crew could not
see the wagon in time to prevent the
accident and the commission decides
that the accident was due entirely to
his going upon the crossing without
taking reasonable pains to ascertain
whether a train was approaching"
The Public Utilities Commission
assented Monday to the granting of a
special excursion rate to Pennington
Normal school students without stat
utory notice. The students Of the grad
uating class Of Pennington State Nor
NAL school applied to the Sandy River
& Rangeley Lakes Railroad for excur-
sion rates to Mountain View. June Q
The application was made too late to
allow the statutory notice and lacking
time the railroad applied to the COM
mission for permission to grant the ex-
cursion rate for that day in accordance
with regular filed tariff without the
full time notice required by statute. The
Commission orders that the railroad be
permitted to do as 1t requests. And thus
the IS Normal school students will be
granted excursion rates even il the
publication for the same was filed late.

AWAITING BIG STROKE.
France Confident Allies Are About To
Launch General Attack.

Paris.-Not since the battle Of the
Marne have General Joffre's forces at
tanned such a pronounced and clear
cut success as the one tersely de-
scribed in the communiQue.
The advance along II miles to a
depth sometimes Of nearly three miles
across strongly fortified intrenchments
disproves the generally held theory OF
a deadlock on the western front and is
clear proof of the contention that
Joffre can get the Germans into the
open when he wishes.
Good News From All Fronts.
or the highest significance is the
fact that the Champagne victory comes
at a moment when good news for the
Allies is made known from all fronts
During the last two days the Germans
who for almost three weeks had been
harassed by a perfect avalanche Of
shells along the western front, have,
with the Austrians, been fighting the
bloodiest battles in the eastern region,
while Italy has advanced to within 10
miles east OF Trent and 10 miles west
of Trieste.
These facts coincide with important
developments in the Balkan situation,
and it would be a mistake to consider
each one of them a separate success.
They are all closely linked in one we'll
planned blow for the allied cause.

Sinking Of American Bark Frye
Was Illegal.
TO REFER TREATY TO HAGUE
Treaty OF 1928 and Not Existing In

Destruction.

Washington.-Ger in a note on
the case Of the ship William p. Frye
has given the United States formal
assurance that American vessels
carry conditional contraband will
under no circumstances be destroyed,
even though deemed lawful prizes.
The right to destroy American mer-
chantmen if carrying absolute contra
hand is reserved, but the promise is
given that this will be done only in
case of extreme necessity as provided
by the Declaration of London.
The assurances together with the
acceptance by Germany OF the two
proposals OF the United States-the
one to name joint commission or ex-
perts to fix the indemnity for the loss
of the Frye and the other to submit
to The Hague the dispute which the
case produced over the meaning Of the
Treaty of 1928 produced favorable
effect in official quarters.
Just what the practical operation
OF the new assurances will be officials
were keenly interested to learn, for
under the lists Of contraband pro-
claimed by Germany in retaliation for
acts of Great Britain nearly every
thing previously known as conditional
contraband has now been made abso-
lutte.
