many photographs Of It were taken
during the day. Just above the dam
and straining at every point is the
great booms which are holding back
not only the normal number Of logs
but 100000 feet which had come down
from Skowhegan. Up to Thursday
night the boom was still holding and
with the water going down II was
thought that the danger was past and
that it would hold. The men who have
booms and logs down the river further
were hoping that it would hold out.
as had the logs which are there been
released 1t would have certainly
meant trouble. The water still con-
tinued to be high but It was dropping
little all day Thursday and no fur
ther danger or damage Is anticipated.
although another sudden rain would
mean that the damage would bs much
greater.

at the hands of Gov. Llewellyn Powers
in 1887 and he was successor to Judge
Charles w. Walton Of this city. who re-
tired. Each governor reappointed him at
the expiration of his terms and the eli
max Of these tributes came in 1911 when
Gov. Frederick w. Plaisted, Democrat,
retained him in spite of much pressure
from leaders of his party who wished to
increase Democratic membership on the
bench.
1t is reported that Gov. Plaisted said
at that time that he considered Judge
Savage equal to the requirements OF
the U. S. Supreme Bench. Gov. Haines
made him chief justice carly in 1913
when Chief Justice William p White
house of Augusta retired on reaching
the age limit
While his attention was engrossed
with the burdens which devolve upon
member of this court. and especial
ly Of the chief justice, he found time
to mingle with his fellow men as mem
bers of various fraternities. He was
affiliated with Tranquil lodge of Ma
sons. Bradford Royal Arch chapter,
Dunlap council and Lewiston COM
mandery, Abou Ben Adam lodge of
Odd Fellows, Eureka lodge. Knights of
Pythias. and he was a past supreme
dictator of the knights of Honor.
Judge Savage was former president
Of the Calumet club and an honorary
member of various select clubs in va
rious parts OF the state.
1t is meet to say that Judge Savage
was popular wherever he went in
Maine to preside at nisi prius terms
of the supreme court. He was not Civ
en- to outward demonstration and did
not seek place in the limelight. but
was affable. enjoyed testing the sharp
wits of the lawyers with whom he be-
came acquainted in every county of
the state. His consideration of a
young lawyer. striving zealously to
win his way in the great competition
he is bound to meet was appreciated
by these men and he was kindly and
sympathetic wherever those character
fstics were appropriate.
He was twice married, his first
wife being Miss Nellie Hale, of Con-
cord. VT, who died nearly five years
ago, a son died soon after graduating
from Bowdoin, and a daughter also

JAP MISSION COMING
Continued from Page One)

lorg observed fundamental policy the
goal of which is to procure recogni-
ton by the powers Of a special and
paramount position for Japan in China.
The impression prevails in Toxic that
Great Britain and France since the
outbreak of the war have tacitly ex-
tended a measure Of recognition Of
special privileges to Japan, and the
present issue appears. to involve the
question whether the United States
shall abandon the prerocative of in
dependent action in China and hence
forth consult Japan. The following
statement of Japan's position is fur
nished to The Associated Press in we'll
informed quarters:
When Japan and the Allies were
about to urge Yuan Shi Kai Cthe late
President Of China) to postpone res
toration Of the monarchy. the United
States was consulted beforehand and
invited to participate. The United
States replied that it favored a repub-
lie but could not interfere in the inter
nal affairs Of China
THE recent American note. which
virtually was interference and was
sent without consulting Japan. caused
surprise. 1t was not until afterwards
that we were notified and invited to
participate.
I'VE are making efforts to assure
the people that the United States had
no intention Of sighting the Japanese,
but they are extremely sensitive to
anything. touching China. which they
deem a supremely vital question of
Japan's future
The foreign office declines to discuss
what action will be adopted toward
America.
