HALIFAX DISASTER
SHOWS NEED OF PRO-

L hope and pray that the State OF
Maine may never have a disaster that
even remotely resembles the terrible
disaster that has overwhelmed HAN
fax" said Adjutant General George
Mel. Presson. But if there should
ever be a great calamity in Maine, the
trials through which Halifax. has Just
PASSED proved Better than anything
else that an able organized force Is
the only instrument that can bring or
der out Of chaos and aid in relieving
the distressed.
General Presson headed the Maine
unit that was rushed TO Halifax by
Governor Milliken. During his stay in
the stricken city, he had abundant OPP
portunity TO examine the work OF re-
lief and to learn what is necessary 20
DO in times Of great disaster such as
this.
In the hours Immediately following
the explosion that caused the loss OF
nearly 5000 lives and injuries to thou
sd nds of others. the greatest confusion
seem to prevail" said General Presson.
There was a lack Of organized effort.
AS soon, however, as the Canadian
military officers could get their feet
placed and as soon as the various
American relief parties, especially the
ore from Maine. arrived. the work was
given an added impetus, was reduced
10 a systematic basis and good was ac-
complished as only it can be accom-
plished through effective organization.
Tho Third Maine Regiment Of Infan-
try is now being formed. 1t is and will
he Il vital fore in the State. The con-
viction should he brought home to :he
inhabitants Of all shore towns that
there must be right at hand an cffec-
tive ORGANIZED force that can be called
Upon in time Of great stress. 1t is not
only when there is q disaster that such
o force would be available, but in the
times OF riots. invasion and strikes
The federal government has given
the State Of Maine authority to raise
this regiment. 1t has promised TO
cl0the and equip it and TO pay for its
maintenance. 1t has promised it ord
nance and the Stat has agreed to fur
nish the armories. The State and the
nation have done and are willing 20
DO all in their power to protect the in
terest of the citizens, no matter what
the contingency. 1t is now for the peo-
pie to say whether or not they want
in their cities and towns a force of

KENNEBEC RESCR|PT
Motion Overruled to Set
Aside Verdict

Motion to set aside the jurys verdict in
the Kennebec county case, Lucy A. Davis
20. Wateryille, Fairfield & Oakland Street
Railway, is overruled by a rescript from
the law court which has been received at
the office of the clerk Of courts of kenne-
bee county The rescript reads as fol-
lows:
Rescript. Madigan. ]. This case comes
to the law court on a motion to set ASIDE
the jurys verdict for injuries received
BY the plaintiff in slipping on an icy step
on one OF the defendants cars.
The defendants conductor testified that
before starting the trip, some y minutes
before the accident, he carefully removed
all snow and ice from the steps with an
iron scriper and broom, and the plain
tiff urges that the amount of ice or frozen
snow on the step, the small number OF
passengess entering the car during the
trip, and the fact that the storm had
practically ceased, conc.usively prove
that the conductors testimony is untrue.
Held:
!. Assuming that the car steps are in
proper condition at the beginning OF 4
specific journey, the carrier should not
be held responsible under ordinary cir
cumstances for snow and ice upon the
steps accumulated through natural causes
during the journey, until it h-, mad rea-
sonably sufficient time and opportunity
consistently with its duty to transport
passengers. 10 remove such accumulation.
To require the immediate and continuous
removal of ali snow from the steps during
the journey would usually be impracti-
