SPECIMENS OF CHINESE
CRAFTSMANSHIP ADMIRED

Those who visited the Chinese
exhibit at Library hall Friday after
noon and evening We're more than
repaid for their time and trouble
when they viewed the exquisite
Chinese embroidery, the hand
carved pieces and the beautiful
cloisonne ware that are displayed.
The exhibition will continue through
today and this evening during libra
~ hours and no doubt will be visit
ed by many who delight in beautiful
and fino things.
These wonderful pieces are not the
possession Of 4 collector, but belong
to Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur G. Robin
son, who have recently come from
Tien- Tsin, China, where the former
has lived for the past seven years.
Many of the articles are gifts which
have been made by grateful Chinese
friends to Mr.. and Mrs. Robinson,
which makes them Of double value
to their owners.
One beautiful cloisonne vase,
which in China would bring at least
$25 and in New York four or Ave
times that amount, is an object of
much interest. and a hand carved
rickshaw, complete. containing an
occupant presents a question Of how
1t could be done out of one piece of
wood. A model Chinese village with
its tiny bridges, walls and vehicles
rs shown; memorial arches which
ar eerected all over China in honor

QUEER METHODS OF FISHING
In Palestine They Do Not Use Nets
and Would Laugh at Hook
and Line.

The modern Palestine dweller
tells us that he would now look in
vain for boats Launching out into
the deep" and working nets all
night in the Sea Of Galilee. Not
that the fish have disappeared: they
are to be caught there in millions,
as also in the Jordan and Jabhock
but the Arabs, less accustomed to
systematic work than the Jews of
old, follow easier plans-~the simplest
of which is throwing poisoned bits
of meal cake into the water. and
then wading in to make a collec-
ton, 4 custom of which no other ma
ton is like to rob them.
Another way of doing the work is
by pelting the fish with stones, which
can be done very profitably when
the schools of yellow mustn't congre-
gate. Some of the Bedouins, prob
ably taking example by travellers,
fire charges of small shot among
them, and so get bag: so thick are
these schools that it is even said
that a revolver bullet has been
known to kill three fish.
Hook and line may be found very
occasionally. but, as a rule. when
the practices above are not resorted
to, the fishing is done by small dip
nets or large hand nets; >i7the form
er case the fishermen( standing on
the banks. lower a kind of bird net
which can be closed by the pulling
Of a rope, from racks or wooden plat
forms. and hauled up at intervals of
an hour or so. Where the hand net
is in use-it is a kind of cross be-
tween a butterfly and shrimp net
the fisherman wades in up to his
waist with bag on his shoulder.
and is content to catch the fish one
or two at a time. The fish of the
Syrian waters are of many different
species. but few are peculiar to the
country.

Carl Jean Tolman To Be
COburn Musical Director

Principal Drew T. Harthorne of
Coburn announced Friday that Carl
Jean Tolman Of Winthrop had been
appointed director .pf music at
Coburn this year. 1f1Ss fill be good
news to the many friends of the
school, for Coburn is splendidly To-
Gated and a thoroughly first class
music department will greatly add to
what the school can do for the i'm
mediate community and the state.
The fact that Mr.. Tolman is to or
ganize and direct the work insures
its success.
Mr.. Tolman is we'll known in
Maine as a successful and accom-
plished musician. He was recently
for several years director of music
in Cocker college. Huntsville. S. c.,
where his success was phenomenal,
the department becoming the best
OF any college in the south. He has
held other important positions and
has always been successful.
The president Of JudsoI, college
in Alabama. where Mr.. Tolman was
director of music, says: Mr.. Carl
Jean Tolman is all that could be de-
sired as director of music and as a
Christian gentleman" Wherever his
work has been his department has
rapidly increased. He has also done
concert work in various parts of the
country.
In taking up this work at Coburn.
Mr.. Tolman will no doubt, repeat
his former successes. AS a teacher
of piano, organ. theory and compo-
psition he will make the department
fine addition to the work which the
school is doing.

Row Follows
Naming by Gompers
of N. Y. Labor Council

New York, Sept. 10.-Poiice reserves
were called to a meeting in the Central
Opera house at midnight tonight to
suppress a disturbance which occurred
when Samuel Gompers. president of
the American Federation Of Labor, an
nounced the selection Of members of
a cons titution committee for tho newly
organized Central Trades and Labor
Council of Greater New York and vi
cinity.
The men named by Mr.. Gompers to
draft the constitution for the new or
ganization were James F. Holland.
president of the State Federation, and
Peter J. Brady.
The trouble started at the announce
ment of Brady's name Shouts arose.
and delegates swarmed toward the
platform. overturning chairs and BRAN
dishing them in the air. Efforts to re-
store order by President Gompers.
Hugh Frayne, Frank Morrison and
other members of the executive coun-
- of the American Federation Of La
Dor who occupied seats on the plat
form were drowned in the tumult
The police reserves forced their way
into the hall, where they found one
delegate, Herman Markell. a striking
painted, buried beneath pile of
chairs. Markell told the police he had
been assaulted and robbed. Another
delegate sought safety on the stage,
shouting that he had been assaulted.
Several times before the police were
summoned disturbances broke out and
on one occasion President Gompers
called for two or three six-foot labor
men to assist in keeping 1der.

VOTE OF WOMEN
Continued from Page one)

is maintained among the towns where
registration will continue until cleo
ton day. and reports to date indicate
that 1t is being maintained, the total
woman's registration for the state
will be about $4,000.
1t is estimated that the total regis
tration in the 519 towns will be slight
ly in excess Of 100000 of which 5000
will be women. This will bring the
total registration of men and women III
the State to approximately ss5,00e. as
compared with a registration in 1916
of approximately 10000 of which
1000 or 70 per cent. voted in the
State election.
Figures in Larger Cities
Examination of registration figures
in the larger cities tonight showed
$685. women as compared with 1880
men in Portland; $500 women as com
pared with $3.50 men in Lewiston and
1886 women as compared with e344
men in Bangor.
Political observers believe that the
addition of a considerable womens
vote will be even more important imam
indicated by the figures because Of
conviction that in this first election
the womans vote will be close to 100
per cent. Of the registration.
Politics Of Many Not Known
The situation so far as forecasting
with any certainty the way the women
will vote on next Monday is conplicat-
ed by the failure Of a great number of
those who have registered to declare
their party affiliation. Many of them
evidently do not intend to enroll in any
party before the caucuses for the mu-
nicipal elections beginning in Novem-
Der.
Women have never been eligible to
vote at any election in Maine until en-
franchised by the ratification of the
federal suffrage amendment last
month

HATCHERY INTERESTING
Large Exhibition Of Ocean Products
at Local Establishment.
Boothbay Register

Th United States Fish Hatchery at Me-
Known Point is proving even more of a
magnet this summer than ever before, hun
dreds OF people visiting the plant weekly to
enjoy the splendid exhibits OF the products
OF the deep. The hatchery is open to the
public at all times and the authorities in
charge are always pleased to show visitors
about and to explain the many and varied
specimens.
Perhaps the most interesting of all the
exhibits is the seal which is imprisoned in
a large wooden cage with an ample tank at
the bottom. Adjoining this cage is an
aquarium in which basks a real shark, an
object OF much curiosity and speculation
since the invasion Of the man-eater several
years past. There is, an alligator, sent
from Florida by Percy G. Bishop and loan
ed to the hatchery by Miss Francis Harris
OF this town.
Some OF the unusual fish which have at
tracted much attention are the skate, the
ghost Ash, the sculpin, the lump fish and
the shrimp. In one tank there is on dis.
play beautiful collection of sea anemone.
In various other tanks are exhibited fine
specimens OF our staple food. hsh-herring,
smelts, pollock, hake, alewives, cod, cells, Gun
ners, HOLSTERS, crabs, haddock and butter
fish.
The tanks containing the doghsh and sea
ravens are cause for much comment as
well as the exhibitions OF turtles--one large
snapper and five small ones. A visit to our
hatchery is very much worth while; no
more interesting spot may be found for
miles around.
