LISBON FALLS DICTATOR
LEWIS J. MARSHALL SUES
BRITISH AMBASSADOR AND
OTHERS FOR BILLION DOLLARS

Portland, Me-, Jan. PA suit for one
billion dollars against the British am
bassador to the United States and 9TH
ers for damages said to have been
caused by an alleged conspiracy, was
begun in the federal court today by
Lewis ]. Marshall Of Lisbon Falls, who
recently was found guilty in the
United States court of using the mails
TO defraud women who made silk ties
on commission.
Those named in the suit are Sir Ce-
Gil Spring-Rice, the British ambassa-
dor. Lord Bryce. his predecessor, John
B. Heating, British consul here, and
Government Inspector Casey. Papers

], 1915, as per Chapter 231 of the Pub
lie Laws of 1915.
The railroads asked for an extension
in order that time might be allowed
in which to experiment with various
types Of tenders and in the interim the
commission witnessed several trials
and perused many lengthy and elabo-
rate reports as filed in other states on
the same subject. Speaking of their
observations and reading as reported
in the commissions answer to the ap-
plication Of the Atlantic Shore Rail-
way for approval of a certain type of
fender, the commission says in part: =
mo fender will absolutely save life
or prevent very serious injury when
the car on which it is placed is going
80 miles an hour or more.
NO fender will save life or prevent
serious injury unless it has an apron
extending in front of the car suffi-
cient distance to form surface broad
enough to retain the body of a person
and prevent it falling back on to the
track; and such apron should extend
from 80 to So inches in front of the car.

protector it is of little use, since be-
yond question if a person in a standing
or STOPPING position on the track is
struck by the projecting part of the
fender he will be thrown toward the car,
and If his head or body strikes the metal
or wood of the front of the car his in
jury will be fully as great as if no fend-
er of any sort were on the car. Hence
the necessity of bumper or dash pro-
tector to minimize the force of the blow
BY bumper or dash protector is meant
an upright structure extending from the
horizontal apron a certain distance, so
constructed and placed as to prevent the
falling body from striking against the
coupling bar or other metal or wood en-
portion Of the front of the car
We are not committed in our opinion
to any particular make of fender. We
do not wish to be understood as saving
that We will or will not approve par
ticular type of fender. Herein we are do
ing no more than deciding the applica-
ton of the Atlantic Shore Railway. CIV
ing our reasons therefor and making
some general observations, which NAV or
may not be of Importance in future mat
ters."
The commissions order on the applica-
ton which brings forth the report ap-
proves the type of fender submitted for
approval.

Britain against the seizure Of his mail

Marshall came to Maine IS years ago
from Annapolis county, Nova Scotia.
He conducted his defense in his trial

sentence was deferred pending an ap-

STATE HOUSE
Commissioner Eddy on Child
Labor Laws-Public Utilities
Commission Reports on Type
of Electric Car Fenders-New
Corporations
NEXT COUNCIL MEETING ON
ON JANUARY 26

State Labor Commissioner Roscoe A.
E. Eddy of Bar Harbor has determined
upon a system of publicity in connec-
ton with the enforcement Of the new
child labor laws of the State, particular
ly those in relation to the employment
Of children between the ages of IA and
l6. Commissioner Eddy is not at all
satisfied with the conditions that he
finds in the textile centers Of the State
outside Of Lewiston and Saco. The big
ratio Of minors to adults employed in
the other textile centers indicates a
decided laxity in regard to age and en-
ployment certificates which does not
speak at all we'll for either the parents
or guardians of children or the school
superintendent. The mill arrangements
SO far as can be learned are attempting
to carry out the provisions of the law
Some Statistics
Statistics given out Wednesday by
the State Labor Department in regard
to the matter are decidedly illuminate
ing They cover the total number of
minors employed in Maine from the
time the new law went into effect on
the first Monday in September to Dec.
!, 1915, and also the proportion Of min
ors to adults employed in the textile
centers of Biddeford. Sanford, Water
Vile, Lewiston, Brunswick and Augusta,
Saco and Westbrook.
The new law requires that the Labor
Department make up the report of the
whole number of minors employed on
Dec l of each year but as the report
of the department appears only in the
legislative years the report gathered
for last year will not appear until the
1916 statistics are printed and they will
not come from the printer before early
in 1917, so that a summary Of the pres
ent data, with resume Of conditions
each month is to be made by the La
Dor Department in the hope that the
publicity thus given coupled with every
possible official effort to secure an hon.
est enforcement Of the new laws will
bring about the desired results.
An Interesting Table
The following table shows the to-
tai number of minors employed in the
State between IA and 16 years of age,
Dec /, 1915, to be S54. Division is made
as to those between IA and 14h. also
between 141 and Is, because it is in
connection with children of that age
that big effort is being made to keep
them out Of industrial establishments.

and all transatlantic messages re-
ceived here will be Immediately re-
layed to Tuckerton, where they go IN
to the hands of the censor"
May messages be filed here for
Germany" he was asked. Eyes, in
deed. Messages for Germany would be
filed with the Western Union, and
would cost so cents a word, in addi-
ton to the land line charges. a total
rate of probably Sc cents a word.
Western Union would send them to
Tuckerton. from where they would be
sent across the Atlantic. Replies would
be received here. and would be deliv-
cred by the Western Union"
The point was brought out by Mr..
Mayer that across seas business by
wireless has so increased during these
war times that Tuckerton has mes
sages enough to keep it busy sending
all the time. Wireless differs from
wire business in that receiving cannot
be done at the same station at which
sending is going on, so that sending
had to be stopped frequently in order
to take care of traffic coming from
Germany and neutral countries.
This made the necessity for an indie
pendent receiving station, and such a
station is the one at Deering.
The difficulties from atmospheric dis
turbance in summer, as regards receiv-
ing, are hoped to be less at this Port
land station. on account of its being
farther north.
