Denial Promptly Refuted.

!. Many times it is impossible for the
night editor Of a morning newspaper
to make room for all 1.-The stuff"
Often he is sorely puzzled in his ad-
Indication; the articles he feels OBJ
Heed to leave out afterward seem to
be the very ones that We're most
arxiously awaited by the public. He
does his best in the brief time he has
to decide, and then wishes he had
used something he left out, and had
left out something that he selected
/ That is one Of the dark spots in the
9, newspaper mans every day existence.
Thursday evening the night editor OF
the Waterville Sentinel had his
troubles, we feel sure. We have evil
.dence Of it. With only eight pages, 5e
s columns. to fill; is columns Of ad-
verttsing to care for, and a five-col-
umn speech by Senator Johnson, to
say nothing Of a column Washington
dispatch showing where Maine will
be II the waterville senator is not
returned-well. what COULD the poor
night editor do?
Why, he was simply OBLIGED to
leave out that little Minneapolis dis
patch which told Of the letter Of for
mer. Director Of the Census Durand
. refuting the denial" Of Secretary
, Redneld. Mr. Hughes read the letter
: Of Mr.. Durand because, after a spe-
: .cia1 meeting Of the President and his
! cabinet, q denial Of the truth Of Mr.

been forced out, was sent broadcast.
As trained lawyer and careful
I, conservative citizen whose integrity
and veracity have never been ques

:: statements that are not well grounded.
When he said publicly that Director
Durand had been forced out Of his
position to make a place for a de
serving Democrat" he knew what ne

ton, snarting under the sting Of

a lie. Mr.. Redfield was made the

has the facts on his side.
Like Secretary Daniels in the Ad-

member will have to remember that
he forgot.

The following item from tho Bath Times
reminds a Journal man Of an incident IN
which he was concerned when a lad and
baseball gloves were beginning to be one
Of the necessities of the outfit. All he old
was to annex a pair Of his mothers gio
gloves. cut Off the fingers and appear on
the ball field with on up-to-date pair OF
gloves. Read and you will see how ne
was reminded of the incident OF the early
7Vs: A Bath matron bought her small
son a pair Of gid gloves. He seemed quite
pleased with them and a few days later
appeared in the room with them on, but
the ends Of the fingers were entirely
missing and his finger tips popped
through. He exhibited them proudly TO
his fond mamma, who was not over
jojyed with her sons caper. She had
gloomy countenance and an air OF dis
gust, much to the surprise Of the lad. In
a reproving tone, she said to him, "What
made you cut off the ends OF your
gloves?" $50 they'd look like yours,
mamma" promptly explained young
America, who thought he had done the
proper thing. The mother decided that
she had nothing on him and that 1t was
up to her in the future to keep her gloves
mended.

INJUNCTION PROCEEDINGS.
Fight In Court To Prevent Erection
OF Dam On susquehanna River.


Judge Harlan, in the Hartford
Court last week heard testimony in
the injunction proceedings brought
/ by the Mayor and City Council OF
Havre de Grace to prevent the pro-
posed harnessing of the Susquehan-
ma River by the construction of huge
elevated concrete dams for electrical
purposes at a point above the Con-
owingo bridge. The defendants to
the suit are Frank H. Hoen, of Balti-
more, and James H. Harlow, of Dar-
lington, as representatives of the
consenting bondholders of the Sus-
quehanna Power Company. Several
witnesses were placed on the stand,
their testimony being for purpose of
substantiating the contention of the
river be declared to be navigable;
that the proposed dam be declared
to be a material obstruction and
hindrance to the navigability of the
river and to the many fisheries, and
a nuisance, and that for these
reasons the defendants should be
prohibited from building the dam
across the river.
The defendants in their answer
to the bill of complaint, set out in
part, that the portion of the Susque-
hanna River which has always been
and still remains the most obstructed
by natural obstacles upon its bed,
lies between tidewater in Maryland
and the Conewago Falls at York
Haven, below Harrisburg, Pa, a
distance of so miles and that Mr..
Harlow is about to begin the upper
one of series of dams between the
points specified, that is to say,
concrete dam above the Conowingo
bridge with crest line at an eleva-
tion not exceeding 10 feet.
On April 26 Judge Harlan, in a
written decision, dismissed the in
junction proceedings brought by the
Mayor and City Council of Havre de
Grace against the Susquehanna
Power Company. The court also de-
cided that the river is not navigable
beyond tidewater. The case will be
taken to the Court of Appeals.

PRINc1PIo FORGE.
Plant Running On FUN Time-Im-
provements Being Made.

prOVemonCS BENG maze.
Few persons realize, says the
Havre de Grace Ledger, that at Prin
cipio Furnace, Cecil county, there is
an iron plant, which is busy little
place, and nearly 100 men are en-
ployed. The pay roll atithese works
| is about $4,000 monthly. The forge
of the Tyler Tube and Pipe Company
is now running at its full capacity
day and night, turning out iron
blooms which are shipped to the
rolling mills of the company at
Washington, Pa, and there made
into tubes.
1t is an interesting sight to watch
the process at this. plant, and by
invitation of the manager, Mr.. John
A. Hartenstine, party of Havre de
GraceAns, Prof. A. r. Baldwin,
and Messrs. VIM. McGrew, VIM.
Baldwin, Grover Fisher, Robert
Gorsuch and Leo M. Moore, visited
the forge and were shown every
detail of the work.
There are at the present time nine
fires, and within the next few months
Cor just as soon as the new furnaces
can be installed) the number will be
doubled.
Thousands Of tons of scrap iron
are stored on the grounds and this
scrap and charcoal are the only in
gradients entering into the manu-
facture of the blooms. The heat is
about 2,400 degrees Fahrenheit, and
during each shift of 10 hours four
blooms, a total weight of 4,500
pounds, are turned out at each fire.
The fires are operated by a forge
man and helper. When the lump is
dome" it is pulled from the fire
with hooks and grabbed by large
tongs, is taken to the steam hammer
by means of an overhead railway,
where it is hammered into any shape
desired The shinglers, who with
large tongs, handle the blooms at
the hammer, lift these heavy blocks
of iron, (they each weigh between
315 and $50 pounds) with apparent
ly as much ease as though they
weighed but 20 pounds.
When the bloom is hammered out
it is measured and if the proper size
it is placed upon a truck and taken
to the scales and weighed, after
which it is hauled to the yard to cool,
and later placed in steel cars for
shipment to the Washington, Pa,
plant.
There are only a few of these
forges in the country, the Tyler Tube
and Pipe Company operating four.
The company contemplates making
improvements, and in a years time
the Principle plant will be an inn
portant iron manufacturing centre.
1t is thought rolling mills will be
added in the near future.
Workmen are now engaged in
erecting a new steam hammer, the
anvil of which weighs "a tons. An
electrical plant is also being installed
and when completed the scrap iron
will be lifted from the cars by use of
a magnet and the finished product
will be placed aboard the cars in
the same manner.
