EDGAR ALLAN POE
ENTERED BUNGALOW
Man Had Frozen Ears In Spite of Fire
in Garbage Pail.

A man who gave his name as Edgar
Allan Poe was arrested in the Ander-
son bungalow at Stonington by Sher-
iff Broughton and was ordered to
leave town. He acted like a man who
wasn't in his right mind. Both his
ears were frozen and he said he had
been subsisting for the last four days
on oysters and snails that he got
along shore.
But the queerest part of the case
was the explanation that he gave for
his presence at the bungalow. He
said that he was in the employ Of the
government and was engaged in. max
ing an imaginary line for coast de-
Tense purposes. He is about 35 years
old, light complexion, light hair,
smooth face, except for a few days
beard, wore a brown undercoat. He
is about five feet seven inches tall.
Last Tuesday he was sheltered dur
ing the storm at the town court room.
Constable Council handed him a
shovel and told him to clean off the
walk as part pay for his lodging He
took the shovel, went out, and left it
standing against the doorway. That
was the last seen of him until Satur-
day afternoon, when William Hallett,
who is employed as Waterman for the
summer cottages at Wamphassett
binoculars, on the veranda of the bum
galow. Mr.. HaIlett notified James S.
Anderson. Jr., and in company with
Sheriff Broughton they went across
to investigate.
They found Poe in the big living
room Of the bungalow. which was
black with scmoke from fire that the
man had been burning in a garbage
pail. There is no chimney there, the
cooking in summer time being done
with oil stoves. There were evidences
of a meal from seafood about the
place. 1t was impossible to find out
from Poe just how long he had been
there, but it looked as though he had
spent some time there prior to his visit
to the town court room on Tuesday.
The man left town Saturday night,
as Mr.. Anderson did ont care to pre-
fer charges against him in his unfor-
tunate state.

CLAIMS DISCRIMINATION
IN RATE AGREEMENTS
Testimony on Sound Lines Resumed
Before Interstate Commission.

Adrian H. Boole. special agent for
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
resumed his testimony Monday morn
ing at the hearing on the proposed
separation of the Sound steamboat
lines from the New York New Haven
and Hartford Railroad company.
Mr. Boolc took up the conditions
existing on the New London and Hart
ford water lines. The Hartford and
New York Transportation company. he
testified, has favored certain shippers
and receivers. He said that there
were numerous instances of discrimi-
nation in freight rate agreements and
cited several instances which, he de-
clared, the reports of the company
show.
Mr.. Boole then took up conditions
existing on the New London water
lines. Besides the Central Vermont
and New Haven-owned lines there is
an independent service, known as the
Chelsea line. Mr.. Boole offered exhib-
its to show that strenuous efforts had
independent to the New Ravens boat
line.
The witness then offered as an eX-
hibit a letter from c. S. Mellen, show
ing that the New Haven had con
tinually endeavored to secure the dis
water service, so earnest were their
endeavors to suppress the last frag-
ment of Sound Line competition"
A bitter controversy arose between
these two companies over the New
Ravens effort to restrict the competi-
tive power of the Central Vermont's
line. The result was, Mr.. Boole said
that the Central Vermont boat line
was restricted as a competitor of the
New Haven line, except in a very
limited degree.
Further exhibits showed that the
| New Haven controls OF owns substan-
TALLY all the deep-water wharves al
New London, Groton and Norwich, the
three interchange points on the
Thames river.
The situation in Providence next
came from Mr. Bodies exhibits and
statements. He said that the Joy Line
was used by the New Haven, although
ostensibly independent, to drive out
the independent Enterprise line. The
plan succeeded and the Enterprise
Line went into bankruptcy, he said.
The present New Haven owned Bay
State Line, the successor to the Joy
Line, makes preferential rates, Mr..
Boole said. Some firms have been
charged seven cents a hundred pounds
on freight while their competitors
have had to pay IL cents on the same
kind of goods, according to Mr.. Boole.
