War RumOrs Bring ArmOry
Question to the Front

Representative Francis NJ. Langley
of Lewiston, tho father and sponsor
or the bill appropriating $4,000 for
the erection of an armory in the city
-of Lewiston for the use of the Ma
tional Guard of Maine, stated on
Thursday to the press:
"Thc situation which has developed
within the last few hours in regard to
a possible break in diplomatic rela-
tions with Germany, leading how much
farther no one can oven guess, brings
this very pertinent matter of erecting
State armorieS to the front.
IF VIC arc ever to erect state armo-
ricS. this is the time TO start in on the
work. l cannot forecast the posSlbli-
ties of a war with the German nation,
but | can forecast that State armoriCs
are essential.
1--WE have seen no time in the his
tory of the State when armorics were
so much needed as now and by begin
ming at Lewiston, a start can be made
which will mean that eventually State
armoricS will be erected in the vari
Gus sections OF Maine where needed

The matter of the House concurring

West Branch Driving Reservoir and
Dam Co. bill to the committee on in
terror waters instead of the committee
on judiciary brought out a sharp de-
bate and result in concurrence, sc to
SO. on q roll call vote.
Representative Murray of Bangor
moved that the House concur with the
Senate in tho reference and Repre-
sentative Baxter of Portland 'immedi-
atcly took the floor in explanation of
his position in the matter. The debate
was also participated in by Reps. Muir
ray and Cole. A standing vote was
taken. followed by the yeas and nays,
resulting as stated.
The new measures introduced were
referred to their proper committees.

Important Bills

power bills referred to one committee
that some definite plan of conserVa-
ton may be evolved.
'In view, therefore, OF the TACT thaI
his own resolve providing for the con-
seryation Of Maine water powers was
referred TO the committee on judiciary,
| plrposcly had the Tracy bill tabled
for one week in order that he might
if ~ desired make an effort to have it
referred by the Senate TO the Same
committee. 1t would nave peeh Gnu
IN proper, and to my nina reasohaple'
for him to have talked personally WIN
the various Senators, laying ms views
before them and making known MS re-
ouest But he did not see nj 10 90 SO.
uc has not. so far as | am aware, ap-
nroachcd a single Senator; ne mas ap-
narcntlv taken no interest Whatever IN
the course of the Tracy Dill.
Now. this is his fight-not mine.
The committee on refrence ueslred tlls
bill referred to the committee on N
terior waters. 1t would be proper Tor
Mr.. Baxter TO attempt, by personal
solicitation. 10 have the reference
changed but it would be manlfestly
i,,nroner for mo to lead a fight against
referring the bill to the committee u
which | am d member.
AS said, | gave Mr.. Baxter "eeh

fit to do nothing. Therefore logicaiiy'
moved today that the bill be taken
from the table and referred 10 the

The 9-inch Lobster.

Senator Gordon of York said on
Thursday in regard to the proposed
change to a 9-inch standard for lob
SterS:
The measure which | have intro
duccd this morning is q nincinch lob
stcr law. | think it only Just and
right that the almost unanimous re-
quest of those engaged in the indus
try for its passage of such law
should be granted. Tho lobster fisher
men themselves are pledged to join in
the enforcement of the law.
AS Massachusetts and New Hamp-
shire have a similar law there is every
reason why the fishermen of York and
Cumberland counties should be placed
on equal footing with those outside the
State. | believe it to be a Just and
equitable measure and ono which will
give us a just and fair lobster STAN
dard that can be more easily enforced
than the present one and will be a
great deal more satisfactory to all con-
cerned."

the Private and Special Laws Of 1907.
relating to schools Of the city Of Au-
guSta.
Mr.. Swift stated that the schools of
Augusta are governed by speclal
law of 1907 and the money is raised
by the citizens in public meeting, i'm
stead of by the city government. Last
May it was voted to raise $4,000 by
bond issue to repair two school build
ings. The Old Colony Trust Co. re-
fused to guarantee the title of the
bonds for three reasons: That notice
Of the meeting was not published in
two papers, as provided by law; that
the warrant was signed by the acting
mayor (president of the aldermen) in
stead of the mayor; and that it ques-
toned the right of the city to issue
bonds to repair old buildings.
The work was done. temporary loans
being secured, and the city of Augusta
now merely asks the legalizing of the
action of that meeting SO that the
bonds can be issued and the temper
AIRY loan taken care Of.
The proposed act to amend Chapter
416 of the Private and Special Laws
of 1907, relating to schools of the city
of Augusta, Mr.. Swift stated. is to
guard against a possibility of another
mistake of the kind mentioned above.
Mr.. Swift, who is also the present
mayor of Augusta, was requested by
the committee to make a slight change
in the wording of the bill and to again
present it to the committee.
land Falls appeared in behalf of an act
to make valid the organization and
records of the Fourth Congregational
church (Abbyssinian) of Portland and
to authorize said corporation to sell
and convey real estate.
Mr.. SlSSOn stated that at the time Of
the loss of the steamer Portland in
1898 large number of the male and
female members of the church lost
their lives and the balance have been
struggling along, trying to keep up the
church, with the assistance of the
Congregational Conference and Mis-
sionary Society of Maine. the latter
loaned needed money at times. 1t is
now thought best to wind up the
church's affairs and dispose of the
property, paying the Missionary So
ciety the amount due and leaving any
balance, which would be from $1,000 to
$1,000, in the societys hands for it's
work among the negro people of Port
land and if the church should be re-
vived. the income or fund to be re-
turned to the church.
An act to legalize the Incorporation
OF the Congregational Church Society
of Litchfield, Me, was continued, ow-
ing to Representative Frank w. Libby

the men.


Business was quickly disposed of in
the Senate on Thursday morning. the
various new measures being quickly
referred to the respective committees.
Senator Davies of Cumberland made
the point that the order regarding the
Highway Commission should not be
passed without reference to a commit
tee, in order that if it wished the COM
mission might have opportunity to be
heard in the matter. 1t was accord
ngly referred to the committee on ways
and bridges.
The Senate had an unusual number
of visitors, most of them having come
TO the Capitol for the Suffrage hearing
in tho afternoon.
The peonagc repeal bill was sent to
the committee on labor; compensation
for State prison inmates to committee
on labor; giving preference to Maine
firms for State printing and binding
contracts to committee on legal at
fairs: the 9-inch lobster bill to COM
mittee on sea and shore fisheries; the
Tracy bill, providing for Peoples
Rights Water Power Commission to
the committee on interior waters.
The resolve for statues of Gen. o. O..
Howard and Gen. J. l.. chamberlain
was tabled by Senator Holt of Cum
berland, who after the session OK
planned that his reason for so doing
was simply to hold it until the Cover
nor's budget message had been deliv-
cred.
The bill for the better protection of
children was recalled by Senator
Davies from the judiciary committee
for printing. the Senator stating that
probably no further hearing upon il
would be held by the committee.
