Urges Martial Law
And More Troops to Put
Down Londonderry Riots

London. June 2a.-Moving the ad-
iournment of the House of Commons
for the purpose of calling attention to
the rioting in Londonderry. Lieut. Col
wilfred Ashley. Cnionist, declared to-
day that victory rested with the assas-
sins and not with the government,
which appeared powerless to maintain
the sanctity Of life.
The chief secretary for Ireland and
the viceroy, he said. were prisoners
in their own houses. the officials of
Dublin Castle were equally prisoners
and obliged to take exercise i'll the
castle grounds. The nations of the
world were pointing the finger OF
scorn at England's inability to main
tain her authority in Ireland. He de-
manded martial law and more troops.
The Right Honora BILE Dennis Hen
airy, attorney general for Ireland. re-
plying to the criticisms of Colonel
Ashley and other speakers threw
little new light on the situation. He
garded the situation in Dublin as
worse than in Londonderry and in
this connection he expressed approx
al of the suggestion made in the
course of the debate to invite the
assistance of the loyal men Of all
parties to help in keeping order.
Lord Robert Cecil voiced his dis
appointment at the attorney gener-
ais remarks. The motion for ad-
journment was then negative with
out division.

pictures were engagements made
from photographs of Waterville and

were of Main street, one looking

from City hall square.

noticed the Daguerrean Gallery"
situated on the lot now occupied by
S. L. Berry's store on the corner CT
Maine and Common streets. This
stands in the foreground. Farther
down on the right side of the street
may be seen what was then the
kimball block. which is still stand
ing and is occupied by the Kennison
store. At the extreme end of the
street can be seen a glimpse of the
old Continental Hotel, which was
moved down to the corner of Green
street and made over into a tenement
house.
Near the Kimball block can be
seen small building that was the
hrst waiting room ever opened in
Waterville after the horse cars were

strange to say. none of thern were
seriously hurt, tut the entire party,
which consisted of Elliot Smith of
Portland, who was the owner Of the
machine, Robert Levee Of Portland,
Wallace Nation Of Spring neld. Mass :,
and Jack Talberth Of this city and
Maurice Wagnan of Portland, were
more or less scratched or bruised. Mat
toon's right knee was hurt and his left
ankle badly wrenched. Wagnan was
slightly cut about the head, and
Smiths nose was barked.
Levee was driving the machine,
while ahead in a sedan were John
Burke. Martin Breen and two other
young men. The former car was be-
ing held back by the brakes. but the
brakes on the other refused to hold
and because of the curve in the road
the latter car could not 60 by. In the
attempt to avoid collision Levee
turned into the field at the left, mar
rowly escaping a telegraph pole He
attempted to turn sharply to the left

ed the car to turn over on the brink
of the bank, which is fenced 10 feet
below with a barbed wire fence.
The right forward wheel of the car
was smashed and the top damaged
somewhat. 1t was righted up and
taken 10 the Union street garage for
repairs.
Two of the boys. Mattoon and
Burke, were in the graduating class
of Coburn and the accident gave them
an unpleasant half hour for fear they
would be late to the exercises. Levee
was congratulated many times on his
quickness of thought and action which
saved the party from a worse accident.
A complaint was registered to City
Marshal Murray that the cars were
speeding on Water and Grove streets
and warrant was made out for the
arrest Of Robert Levee. who was driv-
ing the car, charging him with ex-
ceeding the speed limit. He was given
a hearing before Judge Matthiau in the
afternoon and was sentenced TO a fne
of s25 and costs, making a total of
s2s.49, or to serve 80 days in Jail. He
paid. A second warrant was issued
for John Burke. who was driving the
Franklin car, and he was given a hear
ing later in the afternoon
Burke, like Levee, plead guilty, and
received the same sentence, to pay a
fine of s25 and costs amounting to
s27.s7 or to serve 80 days in Jail. He
paid the fine.
