Clyde A. Salisbury, Waterville

The Maine Public Utilities Commits
sion has made public it's decision in
the matter of the death Of Clyde A.
Salisbury, aged II, of Waterville, en-
ployed about two weeks in q section
crew of the Maine Central Railroad
Co. at Waterville, who was struck by
switching engine No. 1872 in the Wa
terville yard at 7.4O A. NJ. Feb. 25, 1917
and received injuries from which he
died at 1890 P. M. on the same day.
Salisbury had been picking ice from
the switches on the west bount ladder
track and was left standing near the
track by the ub-foreman, who was
working with him while the latter went
for some paddles to remove the ice
from under the switches. Before this
man returned, he had been hit by en-

The engine did not pass entirely over
him, but backed up to complete a
shifting movement before it was
known that an accident had occurred.

the bank and insurance commissioners;
act to amend Section of Chapter &C. r..
s., relating to notices upon petitions for
sale Of real estate; act relative to dis
charge Of record attachments Of real es-
tate which have elapsed; and the act TO
abolish the municipal and police courts
of the State and to establish inferior
courts in their place with uniformity OF
terms, Jurisdiction and terms of office
Other hearings so far scheduled for the
week are as follows:
The committee on temperance will Lold
a hearing on Wednesday on one Of the
most drastic liquor measures that has
been presented at this session Of the Leg
islature. This is the act introduced by
Senator Peterson to provide for the seiz-
ure and forfeiture of vehicles for carry
ing Intoxicating liquor intended for IL
legal sale, which is one of the measures
recommended by Governor Milliken as
part Of a better enforcement program In
his inaugural address. There are also
number Of matters Of minor Importance
during the coming week.
Jitney buses in all of the Maine cit
les will be affected by the proposed act
to regulate motor vehicles as common
carriers which is to be heard Wednesday
before the public utilities committee and
1t likely that lively opposition will de-
velop to the measure. The act making
fire wardens game wardens which is to
be heard Tuesday before the committee
on inland fisheries and game may also
result in an interesting hearing.
The bill introduced by Rep. Morrison
of Corinth to create State contsabu-
larry and States counsel will be heard
Wednesday afternoon before the COM
mittee on legal affairs. This bill is also
likely to meet with most vigorous OPP
position on the part of those who do not
believe in the creation of an independent
set of officers appointed by the Governor
to do the work of the regularly chosen
county and city officials. On the same
afternoon the legal affairs committee
will give a hearing upon the act intro
duced by Rep. Murray Of Bangor to
create a municipal court district for the
county of Penobscot.
A bill of great Importance to the
members of the Maine National Guard
will be heard Wednesday before the
committee on military affairs. This is
the act revising the military law to con-
form to the federal law. which contains
many important changes. especially the
provision for draft to fill the National
Guard quotas.
The committee on mercantile affairs
and insurance on Tuesday afternoon
will give hearing on an act to provide
compensation for injuries received by
State employees.

partments.
The act of 1857 created an officer TO
be called the constable OF the state
commissioned to hold office for the
term of two years unless sooner re-
moved. He was appointed and his
salary fixed by the Governor ana
Council. The State constable on ap-
plication of 10 or more legal voters IN
any city or town, if satisfied that the
local authorities had failed to enforce
any law of the State and that the pup
lie good required it was empowered 70
point one or more deputies resident
in the county in which such city or
town Is situated. The number OF dep
uties was limited to 10 in any one
county and 80 in the entire State.
The Morrison act is in some respects
much more sweeping. 1t creates the
offices both Of State constable ana
States counsel. The Governor is CIV
! en- the authority to appoint as many
incumbents as he sees fit in either or
both offices, and the Governor may
limit their power or extend it through
out the State.

Those people most familiar with the
progress Of legislation at the present ses-
sion Of the Maine Legislature are quite
well agreed in the opinion that adjourn
ment Is not probable before the first week
in April. Both Speaker Bonney and Pres
ident Bailey have repeatedly warned the
members Of the House and Senate that
in order to finish the work with the month
Of March they must hurry along their
work-or stay longer. and 1t looks like
the latter. 1t Is not within the memory
Of the present freQuenters Of the legis-
lative halls that adjournment was taken
over to a Tuesday morning of a 18th
week Of a session, as in the present case,
and that does not assist in "hurrying up. "
Committee hearings will make Tuesday
and Wednesday afternoons busy times,
although none Of great Importance arc
scheduled for later dates. claims and ag-
ricultural committees have dates for
Thursday. 1t is not improbable that aft
ernoon sessions will be heard of before
the present week is over.
The judiciary committee, which once
had cleaned up all the work assigned to
it, has another lot to attend to and Will
on Tuesday give hearings on four meas
ures, on act to provide for the establish
ment Of a bonding or surety department

When No. 1872 pulled west from track
No. AZ it's engineer and fireman were
in their places and the head brakeman
was on the forward end of the engine.
The brakeman jumped off as the en-
CINE passed switch No. AZ to set the
switch. Just as the rear car was
clearing this switch. he signalled the
engineer to stop and back up. The
conductor was some 200 or 800 feet
farther east directing operations. The
other brakeman had gone down track
No. AZ to set the car which was left
there and then made a hitch for the
other train, No. 16S, on track No. AS
There being no cars ahead of the en-
CINE, it was the duty of the engineer
and fireman of No. go to watch the
track. Their view was unobsbtructed
except as their own engine would cut
off their view of anything directly in
front of it, 1t was the freman's duty
to ring the bell on approaching a
crossing, or when a person was on the
track ahead.
The fireman testiffes that he
watched ahead all of the time until
the engine began to back up and had
no occasion to ring the bell. The en-
gineer testifies that he looked ahead
until it was time to look for a signal
to back; that when he first looked
around the signal was actually being
given and that he Immediately stop
ped his train and backed up, probably
going ahead 80 or 40 feet after he
looked around. The train was going
four or five miles an hour when he
looked for the signal.
1t appears that Salisbury was left
on the south side of the track out
side. He must have been near the
north rail when he was hit. The po-
sition in which he was found indicates
that he was outside Of the rail and
was thrown across it-probably going
toward it when he was struck The
circumstances indicate that he had
crossed the track at switch No. 40
after his companion had left him and
that when he saw shifter No 168 an
preaching on the track next north he
stepped hastily back. just in front Of

gineer turned around for orders and too

Something About the Con-
Stabulary Acts in Maine

The State constabulary act recently
introduced by Representative Morrison
of Corinth in the Maine House of
Representatives has led to consider
able inquiry as to the existence and
workings Of former State constabu-
laries. with the result that it was
found that such an act was once in
force for year. at the end of which
time 1t was repealed.
The old State constabulary act,
which was enacted in 1867 under the
second administration of Governor
Chamberlain and repealed in his third
term, the following year, differed in
many respects from the pending act,
although the general principle upon
which it was based was the same. the
proposition of enforcement of the laws
of the State. and particularly the pro-
hibitory liquor law, through channels
