there is this further thought-if we

that French manufacturers should moro

ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
AT STATE PRISON

Thomaston, Me, Jan. 21.-FranciS A
Dee, who was paroled from the State
prison here a short time ago, and who
the past week was arrested by the
Portland police and confessed to sew
eral breaks in that city, attempted sui
eide by hanging in his cell at the State
prison Saturday night about $50. Dee
was brought to the prison late Satur-
day afternoon from Portland and was
in charge OF Deputy Warden Charles
Bucklin OF the state institution.
About $50 Saturday night when the
guard, McInns. visited the cell of Dee
he found him hanging by sheet from
the bars above the Jail door, he hav-
ing taken the sheet from his cot and
after tying it securely about the cell
bars dropped tho loop about his neck
Dee had apparently stood upon his cot
while dropping the moose around his
neck and then stepped off allowing his
body to suspend. When Warden FL
mer WaterhOuse and guards entered
his cell he fought desperately with his
hands and feet, and it was necessary
after he had been taken down to place
him in irons. 1t is not expected that
he will suffer any i'll effects, as it is
believed that his attempt at suicide
was foiled in the nick of time. On the
way down from Portland Dee sobbed
bitterly practically all of the time and
moaned at the thought of having to re-
turn to prison.

Then this young Irishman. leader of

brush, buried in the ground to his chin
while British soldiers prodded the
bushes and earth to locate him
"And they held gun to my good
wife's head and threatened to murder
her If she refused to tell where / was
hidden said Kenny. But there was
the red Irish blood in her-and she
would not speak"
For a month, Kenny said, he made
his Kidding place in the brush digging
himself a pit in which he remained
when necessary with, only his head
above ground-and thta in the heart
of one of the big bunch of bushes of
Graukhwelrs rolling plain. 1T was a

There is no doubt that Boston

sive terminal property, then we trans
port it by teams through crowded
streets to another terminal on another
side of the city. also built on expensive
property.
We believe that the retail and job
bling markets are now conveniently To-
Gated but that a wholesale market for
commission merchants and other large
receivers of produce should be estab-
lished at terminal in South Boston.
Such a terminal market would benefit
consumers in Boston and numerous
other cities; it would also afford bet
ter marketing facilities to farmers
throughout the state.

Boston Jan. 21.-Transportatlon diff
ficulties in the metropolitan district
are held partly responsible for the in
creased cost of living in this state
during the past year, in report made
public tonight by the commission APP
pointed by Governor Mccall to lnves-
tisate the higher prices of the necessi-
ties of life. The commission recon-
mends, as measures of relief the en-
actment Of legislation directing the
transit commission to make compre-
hensive plan for the department OF
terminals and a belt line in this dis
trict, the establishment of a wholesale
terminal market in the South Boston
district and the further development
of trolley freight service.
THE cost of local transportation,
says the report, lis in many cases
quite as great, or even larger than,
the total charge for the whole 1000 or
1900 miles which the commodity often
traverses before it reaches the city
boundary. The transfer of freight
from one railroad to another is neces-
sarily expensive. The congestion of
traffic which occurs in times of great
business activity such as that of last
year causes a shortage in the supplies
Of material for our factories and other
necessities for the people.
Boston's Position
Barring the facilities that exist in
New York created at an expense of
more than five hundred million dollars,
Boston, we think. can be said justly to
be ahead of any large city in the coun-
try in passenger transportation. But
it may be said with equal truth that
in providing facilities for transporting
merchandise, Boston is behind every
large city in the United States. These
conditions restrict the opportunities of
our farmers and other producers seek.
