TROUBLE OVER
FISHING IN THE
SONGO RIVER

Portland, Me. May 9.-Legal action
was begun today by the State fish and
game authorities which involves the
question of whether the Songo river is
a tributary to Sebago lake or a part
of the lake proper. Calvin Paul Of Ma
pies was arrested, charged with fishing
for salmon in the pool at the foot of
Songo lock, contrary to a law passed
by the last Legislature forbidding fish
ing in tributaries to Sebago. 1t is
claimed by counsel for Paul that the
Songo is part of the lake. The pool is
now swarming with salmon and other
fishermen will be prosecuted if the case
is decided against Paul. so Chief War
den Matthew Morrill, said today.

FAIL
TO BRING news
OF Three MASTER
WILLIAM BISBbEE

Rocllland, Me, May 9-Careful inqui-
ries in every Nova Scotian port have
failed to bring tidings of the three ma sted
Rockland schooner William Bisbee,
which sailed April IS from Halifax for
Port Clyde, N. s., to load pulp. The
owners, 1. L. Snow & Co., supposed her
to be loading at the latter port until the
charter parties in New York telegraphed
to learn her whereabouts.
The Bisbee is 300 gross tons, was built
at this port in 1902 and valued at $4,000.
She was commanded by Capt VIM. Ward
of this city, who has survived several
and was once before believed
to have been lost. The schooner car
ried six men all told.
The same owners have given up as lost
the three-masted schooner Metinic, which
has not been heard from since she left

ACTS
u. S. SOLDIERS
AT HONOLULU

Saratoga Springs, n. Y, May o
Because many of the delegates to the
general conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church believed that a reso-
luton urging Congress to prohibit the
importation of intoxicants into the
Hawaiian islands reflected on the NOR
ais Of the United States soldiers, it TO-
day was referred to the committee on
temperance after'a heated debate. The
resolution was introduced by Herbert
j. Johnson of Berkeley, Calf, and
referred to "unspeakable carousals
among American soldiers"
Francis M. Larkin of San Francisco
explained that the incident to which
the resolution referred took place When
number Of soldiers returning from
the Philippine islands landed at Hon
clulu. He bitterly denounced acts Of
which he said they were guilty.
Appleton Bash of Pittsburgh declared
that the resolution gave the wrong
Impression, that of accusing all Amer
lean soldiers when only a few were
engaged in the incident of which Mr.
Larkin complained. He asserted that
the resolution was unjust ana urged
that it be not adopted.
1--WE may soon need these very men
to stand between ourselves and for
eign army" Bash declared.
A resolution desigred to have men,
bers of the Methodist church support
political candidates who are active in
reform movements was defeated while
regulation of moving pictures by ma
tional censorship was approved by the
adoption of a resolution appealing to
Congress for the enactment of such a
law. Another resolution adopted urged
Gov. Whitman to sign the bill intended
to provide for board of motion pic

 OF HIGH PRICE OF GASOLINE
Agencies Will Report Findings to
 Congress This Week.

Washington, March 2.-Government agencies Investigating the spectacular rise in the price of gasoline have vir- tually concluded preliminary phases of their work and will report to congress this week. In the meantime the de- partment of justice, which has kept in close touch with the situation will consider the evidence with a view to determining whether prosecutions are warranted under the antitrust law Every available field agent of the fed eral trade commission has been as signed to the gasoline inquiry under the direction of Commissioner W. J. Harris. Reports by the various com mittees involved have been checked, SO far as possible. Crude oil producers manufacturing companies. pipe lines, selling agencies, even tank wagons in every section of the country have been under surveillance. A tremendous mass of data has resulted, bearing on all phases of the industry. Essential of this information have been placed before the attorney general as fast as gathered.
 The department of justice virtually left the entire inquiry to the commits sion. Complaints received by the at
 torney general have been forwarded for investigation to the commission and have been added to hundreds of similar complaints received by the cimmission itself. It is considered un- likely that the attorney genAral will decide finally whether the evidence warrants prosecutions until the com l mission shall have concluded its in- l qUiry, a month or more hence

Possibly It Will Be Here in Time for

Washington, April 2.-Oficial judg- ment still is suspended here on the cases of the British channel steamer Sussex and other merchant ships which, while carrying American citi- zens, recently have met with disaster in the war zone. Secretary Lansing said tonight that no additional infor- nation had been received. The state department received from Ambassador Gerard the reply of the German gov renment to the inquiry he made in regard to the Sussex, the Manchester Engineer and the Englishman MT Gerard informed the department yes terday that the Berlin government was making an investigation and that he would be advised of the results upon its completion.
 All the evidence bearing on the dis asters independent of that which may come from Berlin is expected to be in the hands of the department some time this week, however, possibly in time for Tuesdays cabinet meeting. This evidence will be examined very care fully to determine whether it forms sufficient ground for action by the United States.
