MAINE LAWMAKERS COMPLETE
FOURTH week WORK. COMMITTEE
HEARINGS TO BEGIN NEXT week

The Maine Legislature has finished
four weeks Of its work-and it must
be admitted that to an observer the
amount Of business transacted is not
more than in the same length Of pre-
vious sessions. That is largely on
account of the change in the method
of starting the business of session,
which is With the Budget hearings. a
proceeding that takes considerable
time and yet does away with many
long hours otherwise and heretofore
given to committee hearings.
The Budget hearings will be COM
pleted next week. They will on
Tuesday clean up the matters that
have been assigned but which for
some reason were deferred and also
hear Supt of Public Schools DR.. A.
o. Thomas, who has two more mat
tiers which he wishes to present.
Wednesday will be given to acad-
emies, Of which Maine has a large
number. The remaining claims up
on the kindness Of the State will then
be heard and it is now planned to
have the Budget in shape for pres
entation to the Legislature and the
public on Tuesday. Feb. 4.
1t is also expected that the Senate
committee on elections will make its
report on the Irish Parent contested
seat matter on Tuesday,
Committee hearings will begin in
earnest next week, the usual number
being assigned.

A STATEMENT

The following statement was
issued Friday morning by the
newspapermen who are report
ing this session of the LeSisla-
ture:
To Whom 1t Interests or Con-
Germs:
We the newspapermen engaged
in reporting the seventy-ninth
session of the Maine legislature
for the press OF this State to say
that, after very full inveStiga-
ton, we are convinced that
Turnkey Frank b. johnson of the
Androscoggin county Jail at Au-
burn, in his testimony before the
Senate election committee on
Wednesday evening did not
state that warrant was issued
for the arrest of John D. Cliff
ford, Jr.. Of Lewiston. in connec-
ton with the election OF Septem-
Der 9th. last; that he did not say
this warrant was issued upon
complaint Of City Clerk Bumpus
of Auburn; that he did not say
they were prevented from serr-
ing such warrant.
We are further convinced that
the error, greatly regretted by US,
is due to q miX-up in the notes
Of the man who reported Mr..
Johnson's testimony. Further we
desire to emphasize the fact that
this man knew neither Mr.. Gilt
ford or Mr.. Johnson and had
never seen either of them, to his
knowledge. prior to the time Mr..
johnson went upon the stand.
We make this statement in or
der that MIR. Johnson may be
placed right in the community
and to show VIC were acting in
the best of faith.
