The FREDERICK BANKRUPrY CASE.

As Sequel Willis r. Cole Of Winterport,
Clerk, Files Petition Naming Liabilities
of $4,000.
In the wake of the somewhat noted
John I. Frederick bankruptcy case,
which entangled several well-to-do men
in the eastern section of the State five
or six years ago. comes late aftermath
in the petition filed Dec. 18th in the
United States District court at Portland
10y Willis P. Cole, clerk of Winterport,
whose liabilities are named at $57, 900,
and who claims that all of them should
be paid by Frederick.
The liabilities consist almost wholly OF
notes endorsed by Cole as he claims at
the request of Frederick. The biggest
creditor is the Bucksport National bank.
which holds notes aggregating over Sl2,-
500
At the time that creditors brought
bankruptcy proceedings against Fred
erick. half dozen years ago, he claimed
that his chief business was ia ming, and
that he was exempted under certain
phase of the law, but the court, ruled
that he was potato broker. and he was
adjudged in bankruptcy. Then half
dozen interlocking suits came up, many
so-called potato kings were involved.

Funny-lf It Were Not Tragic.
From the Detroit Free Press ]

From the Detroit fTee TEeeS
The situation in northern Mexico as it
is affected by the American attitude and
policies has It's tragic and shameful anG
its ludicrous sides.
The American Government has recog-
nized Venustiano Carranza as the detacto
Government in Mexico. 1t also has put
an embargo on arms. Villa, Zapata,
Felix Daz, ct al, constantly smuggie
arms and ammunition, and there is reason
TO believe they have no tfouoie III getting
all they can pay for But Carranza, be-
cause ne is a regularly recognized Govern
ment, is unable to 90 this. Conse quently
ne can get no war munltlon with which
to fight his enemies and our enemies.
the United States Is keeping an army
of occupation in northern Mexico for the
purpose Of getting Villa The Carran-
zlstas also nave troops IN the same region
and their official business Is likewise to
get Villa. But the Carranzista army
leaders are so distrustful of the American
soldiers and are so busily occupied iE
watching them that they have neither
time FOR strength to go after Villa, who
is taking advantage of the situation and
is doing about as be pleases. We find in
the field armies of two countries which
might make life nightmare for the
bandit if they really set TO work at the
job. But nobody is doing anything.
The opera bouffe stunts pulled off in
Latin American countries used to be
great jokes in the United States, but can
any one remember one more thoroughly
silly than this to which our Government
is a party?
The Republican journal., 1916-12-21

absence of interior growths, the inside
of the shells were perfectly bright and
clean. No unusual enemies were found
in the dredges.
All indications pointed to the starfish
as the cause as is evidenced by the fol-
lowing: Throughout the entire district
surveyed the number of starfish in pro-
portion to the living scallops was suffi-
or four scalIops which were brought to
the surface with contents not entirely
cleaned out, the portion of the scallop
still remaining had the appearance of be-
ing partly dissolved, revealed no tearing
of the tissues such as would be caused
by CRAPS or fish, and, in so far as the pro-
cess of cleaning out had progressed, the
flesh had been cleaniy dissolved from the
edge of the shell inwardly and the re-
naming portions, with edges softened,
were in normal position. The above in
dictate rapid digestion and is characteris-
tic of starfish work.
The ligament, in many cases, was
broken although the shells were still
hinged together. This would be easily
explained from work of the starfish, since
the distance from the edge of the she'll
to the hinge is considerable, and after
accomplis. ing the death of the scallop it
would be necessary for large starfish
to crowd open the valves in order to
reach the interior portions of the flesh.
Had the scallops died naturally or I'M
molested the ligament would have re-
NAMED intact, as would also be the case
if worms or small parasites of any sort
had been the cause. If fish had removed
the flesh of the scallop the valves would
undoubtedly have been separated.
Under date of December 9th Commits
sioner H. M. Smith writes that ''The
Bureau is now giving consideration to
the possibility of making further investi-
cations with reference to offering ad-
vice for the protec ton OF the beds"
There seems to be no hope of doing
anything that will give immediate
relief. The starfish is an enemy of all
mollusks and its habits are we'll known.
Methods of control are difficult of appl-
cation. 1t is to be earnestly hoped that
some way of fighting the starfish may
be successfully developed to protect this
important shore fishery industry.

The Presidents "Debt."

Professor George Trumbuil Laod in a Letter
to the New York Times:l
| quote this sentence from this morn
ing's issue of the New York Times:
The leaders of railroad labor feel that
President Wilson is under debt to them,
and that he will use his influence to COM
bat the attempt of the railroads 10 have
the Adamson law declared demonstrations
ALL
Let us briefly anaiyze this sentence and
see how full of the most threatening
dangers to the very foundations in law of
the republic it certainly is:
First-The President of the republic
has put himself under an obligation to
the leaders of the labor unions. How?
By forcing through Congress the law
which they demanded in favor of their
interests? Or because it was the re-
ward of the vote of these unions which,
as they imagine, gave him his reelection?
Second-Tne President is to pay the
debt which he owes the labor unions by
"using bis influence" to ger certain de-
cision from the courts, probably from the
Supreme Court of The republic. And
how is he to use his influence when he
has no more constitutional right to in
iuence the judicial branch of the republic
than has the most humble and inconspi-
cuous of its citizens?
Surely here are at work ideas of a
quite appalling nature as 10 what the
Constitution OF the United States, which
at one time commanded the admiration
of the world, meant by it's careful liml-
tations of the legislative, the judicial,
and especially the executive branches of
government to their own functions, with
out the right of influencing in any such
way as the word plainly means in this
use the functions of one another.
But, alas! the observation and defeat
of the Constitution in this important re-
spect is just what has been going on
apace since the very beginning of this
Admins tration.
