Dear Sirs. | am in receipt Of your
favor Of the 10th inst, with reference
to the carload of coal from barge
'EastOn," consigned from this port to
Mr., C. A. Miliiken, with whom, IN
dcrstand, Governor Mllillen resides).
and note your criticisms of same, as
we'll as those in some of the public
journals of the State, which. from the
information | have, seem to be well
justified.
The facts are that /. personally, or

had nothing to do with the "EaSton's''
cargo, it having, as l am told, been
originally consigned to the Searsport
National Bank. for delivery at points
in Aroostook county
On account of ice obstruction the
barge was forced to deliver her cargo
at this port. to attend to which Mir.
Perry, OF Houlton representing Mr..
Wright, of Bangor. tWho. ! underStan
ordered the cargo for certain parties).
came here TO Portland to look after the
transShipment and distribution of the
cargo. as originally intended. the de-
tails Of which only came to mo after
the cargo had been transshipped and
distributed.
In my temporary absence. when Mr..
Perry showed to my secretary. Mr..
jct nf
Phillips strongly criticized the sending
of any large portion of this cargo to
private consignecs. stating to Mr.. Per
" that, in view of the urgent emcr-
gency needs throughout the state, the
entire shipment ought to be distrib-
uted in limited quantities for meeting
present emergency cases; but as Mr..
Perry had received his Instructions
presume bly, from Mr.. Wright, who,
infer, had the original charge and di-
rection of the shipment, Mr.. p! said he
had no alternative excepting to follow
his directions; in consequence Of which
Mr.. MiIliken, and possibly other pri-
vate consumers, would seem to have
received more than their justif1able
share Of the cargo.
OF course, you will understand what
I say to you is simply from general in
formation which / have received. At
the same time, I think that anyone
criticizing the affair should know that
I, as Fuel Administrator for Maine. had
nothing whatever to do with the case
in question In fact. as the transship-
ment was arranged wholly by Mr.. Per-
ry on a late Saturday and during Sun
day. what information I have received
only came to me on yesterday. too
late for me to take any official action
in the matter.
Yours very sincerely, :!

sequence SprOul was obliged to bring
the action.
The plaintiffs, John II. Sproul of Au-
gusta. testified regarding the transac-
ton at Brooks hardware store, stating
that Mr. Hussey had been unwilling to
take Hoxic's note for the amount a,,d
that he (SprouD had allowed the goods

Z. A. Hussey Of Augusta said that

The defense in the action claimed
that the HoXie CO, owed money to Nc

the goods charged to the HoXic Co. and
subsequently Sproul, foreman Of the
shop, had gone down to that store

the tools and that he heard no more
about the matter until after the NoXie

He had been unable 10 get the goods

yindIcated her choice by making n
beautiful hat. II is picturesque
model with wide brim, faced With
rose -colored crepe and edged with n
double frlll of velvet In that cool
brown called elephant" The brim Is
wider at the left side than elsewhere
and has us many graceful turns ana
curves as the edge Of n flower petal.

shade of brown. The crown is rather
high and lifts at the left with band

Just to show that quite lot Of

rather large brown beads are set at
wide intervals about the upper edge
of the ribbon, and even the lovely
little ostrich plumes are not left alone
In their glory-brown Japanese al
