PORTLAND LOSES
ALLAN Line FROM
SHIPPIN c LIST

Portland, Me-, Sept. 26.-After hav-
ing maintained a trans Atlantic pas
senger and freight service between this
port and Glasgow, Scotland, for over
half a century the Allan line will
abandon Portland and send it's ships
to ports where terminals are provided
by the Canadian Pacific Railways
steamship interests.
The abandonment Of this port is the
result of the line being bought by the
Canadian Pacific Railway and that
corporation will certainly divert the
business to their own terminals rather
than allow the Grand Trunk to get the
business.
While the Allan line will not have a
service Portland will not suffer great
ly as according to reliable information
the Allan line service will be replaced
by the Donaldson which will maintain
passenger and freight service be-
tween Portland and Glasgow.
Over a dozen years ago the Donald
son sent a few ships to Portland and
they own some splendid passenger and
freight boats which are running to
Montreal and Quebec at the present
time.
The feet includes such ships as the
Cassandra, Lakonika and Athena and
it is believed here that the ships will
be sent to this port at the opening Of
the coming winter steamship season
about December l or just as soon as the
st. Lawrence river Is closed to naviga-
tion. J. Richard Clancy, who has acted
as local manager for the Allan Line for
many years, was recently transferred
from Montreal to Quebec and will be
permanently located in that city as
agent for the Canadian Pacific steam.
ship lines.
While no official information has
been received here regarding the out
look for business for the coming win
ter steamship season. Agent J. NJ. Rid
dell Of the Grand Trunk Railway said
today that it is probable thta passen-
ger service will be maintained by the
Cunard Line, the White Star-Dominion
Line and possibly the Donaldson Line
which replaces the Allan Line.
Several of the large passenger ships
which were taken over by the British
government for transports and supply
ships during the early part Of the Eu-
ropean war have been returned to the
various steamship lines and several are
expected to be back in the Portland SER
vice during the coming winter season.

MOTION GRANTED
FOR A M|STR|AL
STATE VS.. ". P. HYDE

Portland. Me, Sept. pa motion
asking the court to order mistrial
was presented this morning by counsel
for the defense in the case of the State
against William Pitt Hyde, charged
with larceny of shares Of the New
England Cold Storage Warehouse c..
valued at $4,000, which opened for trial
yesterday morning before Judge Con-
molly in the supreme court. The mo-
ton was presented by Fred V. Mat
thews, one of the counsel, on the
grounds that a news report of the
case published in yesterdays Express
Advertiser contained a paragraph re-
ferring to an equity case in which Mr..
Hyde was the defendant which would
influence the jury if they had read it.
After arguments the motion was
granted.
Upon opening court after a long con-
ference between counsel for both sides
and the judge, Judge Connolly ques-
toned the members Of the jury as to
whether they had read the news arti-
Gle in question. Two members of the
jury stated that they had, one of them
stating that he had read it but had
forgotten what it contained, and would
no be influenced in forming opinion.
The second juryman stated that he
had read it. Judge Connolly read to
the jury the paragraph in question.
After the judge had concluded ad-
dressing the jury and commenting upon
the possible influence of reading the
paragraph upon a juryman, Attorney
Matthews addressed the court refer
ring to the possible influence upon the
mind of a juryman. He then orally
asked for a order for mistrial.
County Attorney Berman in opposing
the motion stated that in his opinion the
Jurors by their oath and from their state
ments in court could hear the evidence
impartially, adding that the state was
willing to try the case on the evidence
presented. He stated that if he thought
that the jury could not arrive at a fair
verdict he would not oppose the motion
but added that he did not think that they
would be Influenced.
Judge Connolly stated th2. he would
like to finish the case but felt that knowl-
edge on the part of jurymen of the de-
cision of the law court in the equity case
would make the burden heavier for the
defence than it otherwise would be.
The reporter was questioned by the
court, the judge stating that he did not
think that any wrong was intended in
the publication of the article.
The case was continued to the January
term after the motion was granted, and
the bail of the respondent was increased
from 5000 to $1,000, George NJ. Barney and
Harry Butler going as sureties.
