How Conductor John
Jewett Got His First
Ride on Trolley Car

Among others who were in the city
ard at Togus Wednesday, at which
latter place the Sd Maine Regimental
Association held it's annual reunion
was the veteran John Jewett of Port
ductor en- the Maine Central Railroad.
Everybody remembers Jewett's
Train" of the Portland and Bangor
run, and everybody remembers Mr..
Jewett, who grew to be almost as
much a part of the train as was the
locomotive. He has many friends in
Augusta as we'll as all along the line,
and all are glad to see him whenever
he makes Augusta call.
A little group of men were speaking
Wednesday OF Mr.. Jewett and one OF
them was reminded of the fact that
the veteran conductor took his first
ride on tralley car from Farm
inedale 10 Gardiner, in the days of the
old Augusta, Hal!owsll & Gardiner
street railroad. 1t appears that Mr.,
Jewett led not, UP to the days OF the
early eos ridden on a trolley car, as
Portland was at that time clinging to
the old horse car line. Now 1t SO nap
pened at that time that his train or
it's return trip to Portland every after
noon rassed one of the trolley cars on
its way to Gardiner, the point of pass
ing being up in Farmingdaie.
Conductor Jewett was, so the story
roes. very much interested in the car
sneedinC along the highway above the
Maine Central roadbed and it probably
called to mind what the Chinaman sald
about the electric car: NO pushe'
No p,,llee-So like Hellee." This daily
,atchin.- of the trolley car by Gun
ductor Jewett is said to have gone on
fnr some little time until one day the
conductor on the trolley car no'lceu
th.t the Maine Central conductor had
brought his train to a standstill ana
was on the rear platform or the last
car, signaling to HIM.
The car was stopped and Conductor
Yewett mounted the steps, saying as ne
Ala 80 that he would like to ride down
&c far as aGrdiner-that he had never
ridden on a trolley car and he wanted
20 SEQ what it W. 5 like. and suiting
tho action to the word Mr.. Jewett rode
down as far as Depot square, Gardi-
ner where he rejoined his train ana
continued his run to Portland. And SO
Il came to pass that one OF the best
known among the Maine CentraFs
older conductors took his first ride on
a trolley car somewhere in Farming
6ale." The man who was the-conduc-
TOR on the trolley car on which Mr.
IAwett took that ride is now we'll
known member of the Augusta ponce
force.

LEON EARL JAMES
GETS JAIL SENTENCE
IN LARCENY CASE
Togus Veteran Claims
Boy Stole Six or Eight
Watches and Court
Finds James Guilty
Other Court Matters
of More or Less Inter-
est,

Judge Lancaster at the Friday after
noon session OF the municipal court,
disposed of two cases. The first was
that of Leon Earl James, who lives
cut in Snowplow locality adjacent to
the National Home at Togus and was
said to be at times employed about
the Homer reservation. James, who
is about IS years of age, was arrest
ed yesterday on complaint of Frank
Lovely, a member of the Home for the
alleged larceny Of six or eight watch
es belonging to the complainant, who
appears TO be. in small way. a deal
err in those useful articles. None of
the missing watches were found upon
the boy and the one which he was
wearing could not be identified by the
complainant, although he thought tina
the watch resembled some of those
which he owned and were missing but
the court was convinced that one
watch in particular, which was de-
scrlbed as 11-jewel watch in a gold
nlied 20-year case, had been stolen
by the respondent, and this, with ev-
lcence. as introduced to show that the
respondent had been trading watches
last Sunday afternoon, the day on
which the watches were alleged to
nave oeen stolen, prompted the court
TO md him guilty and he was given
a sentence of two months in Jail.
A man giving the name of .. c. Q.
Landry of Fall River, Mass, who had
been taken into custody by Night Of
hcer Bolduc, was arraigned on the
charge of being an idle and disord-
tell E
support and avoiding all lawful oc-
cupatlon or calling. The men was
questioned at some length by the court
ana was given sentence of 10 days in
JAN, put was later placed in charge
o! the city marshal. Concerning the
respondent il was learned, according
to his story, that he was one of the
crew OF the [. S. S. Arizona. now W.
ing at the Brooklyn navy ward. and
mad overstayed his leave of absence.
that he had been on a lark with two
pals; that he finally landed in Bangor
ana came to Augusta with a view of
getting back to Brooklyn to reioin his
ship, If possible; that he sought as
slstance at the naval recruiting sta
lion IN the federal building, but under
the circumstances he could not secure
J. there. Landry's chief desire yester
day afternoon was to get back to his
snip but as he has no funds the oues-
tlon of what would be the final dis
posal Of his case was last night a
difficult one to answer.
Another matter in connection with
the court was the commitment TO
kennebec jail, Friday afternoon. Of
Fred Kelley, alias Owen Lynds. Of
Gardiner. 1t will be remembered that
at the Thursday session of the court
the man was charged with statu-
Tory offense and was ordered to rec
cSnlze in the sum of $500 for appear-
ance before the superior court, He
was kept at the police station until
yesterday afternoon and as the hail

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 3O.-HOn. Thomas E. Campbell took his oath of office today before Judge Lyman of the superior court of this county and later in the day Governor Hunt took the oath before E. J. Trippel, chief clerk of the land commission and notary public. The governor in statement today for the first time definitely announced he would oppose the accession of Mir. Campbell and de- clared his oath bound him to occupy the office for the next two years from next Monday.
 The governor said he tested the locks of all doors leading to his office and the anteroom.
 The friends of Mir. Campbell are proceeding with preparations for the inauguration on Monday and declare they will secure a warrant for the ar rest of the governor under paragraph 78 of the penal code, which makes it a misdemeanor for one who having been an executive officer, wilfully ex- ercises any of the functions of his office after his term has expired and a successor has been elected"
 The inspection of the ballots in the contest for the governorship is now about half completed.

DOMAIN OF INDIAIIS ONE OF MOST LIGHTLY
 TAXED COUNTRIES

SIMLA, India, Nov. 15.-"So far from the people of India grooming un- der an enormous burden of taxation, India is one of the most lightly taxed countries on the face of the earth" ac- cording to Sir William Meyer, min ister of finance for India, in response to the charges of over-taxation pre- ferred by so-called extremists.
 The total revenues, imperial and provincial, for the current year, dur ing which some additional taxation was imposed, amounted to 86,500,000 pounds, Sir William said, and this sum distributed among the PA 100000 peo- pie of British India gave a resultant contribution per capita of only 2 shil- ings. He pointed out that in three other Asiatic countries, Japan, Siam and Dutch Indies, the rate per head was much higher, being 23 shillings in Japan, 13 shillings pence in Siam and Il shillings 8 pence in the Dutch Indies.
 The finance minister said the land revenue has been one of the points upon which opponents of the govern ment have been most bitter, it being claimed that the farmer was kept in poverty by taxation. Sir William stated that of the total revenue of 86,- 500,OOO pounds for this year, about 22,OOO,OOO pounds was derived from the land, India being mainly an agri- cultural country.
 According to immemorial tradi- tions in India the state has always claimed a share in the produce of the soil," he continued. At the close of the 18th century the state share was commuted for fixed money payment in various tracts, mostly in Bengal, but over the greater part of India we revise the money value of that share every 30 years or so with reference to the increase, or possible decrease, if that should occur, in the value of the agricultural produce. The state thus takes to itself a share of what is known to economists as the unearned increment, a policy that ought to find favor with enlightened socialists. Theoretically, after making liberal all lowance for cultivation expenses, the state share is one-half of the resultant net profit, but as a matter of fact our recent settlements have been in prac- tice much more lenient than this, and the amount we take is much less than was exacted by previous native rulers. Liberal remissions are also given when crops suffer from drought, flood or other calamaties."
 Other sources of revenue such as opium, salt, document stamps, excise duties on liquor, customs, forest tax, postage and income tax were dis cussed, with Sir Williams declaration that no item showed basis for charges of overtaxation. As to salt, for ex- ample, he said, 'Ttaly gets more than we do from it's salt tax from a popu- lation one-seventh of ours. Even with the increased tax this year, it is still only one farthing a pound, and that
