EVENING Session

At about $50 >. N. the teachers filed
into the banquet hall at the Augusta
House, where a fine menu consisting
OF roast turkey. cranberry sauce.
squash, potatoes, coffee, ice cream and
cake was served. Josiah Taylor, State
advisor on secondary schools, made an
nouncements regarding the summer
schools to be instituted at the Univer-
sity Of Maine and Bates. DR.. A. o.
Thomas was called upon to say a few
words regarding schools. The doctor
opened by saying that all present were
concerned with the status Of the pro-
fession and what the future holds. We
have 3.00O.000 oncoming Americans and
within the last year eere has been
lost to the profession $4,000 teachers: in
this State 566 were lost. The attend
ance at the normal schools is falling
of and in November when a census
was taken it was found there was a
shortage Of 81 teachers. From all indi-
cations next year there will be 500 to
800 short.
Drew T. Hawthorne. principal Of
Coburn Classical Institute, spoke.
taking for his subject 1.-THE State of
Maine" The talk was supplemented
by views thrown on a screen from
a stereopticon. He spoke Of water
power and its great possibilities. He
stated that we probably do not rec
ognize the fact that no chapter in
American history is more interesting
than that which has to do with the
State Of Maine. The first view pro-
jected on the screen was a map of
the State. Prin. Hawthorne mention
ed many Of the great possibilities in
the Pine Tree State at the present
time. The State has an area Of $4,000
square miles, the coast line washed
by the tide Is 5000 miles long, the
greatest Of any state. Regarding
Maine water power he stated that
we have in the State 1000. 900 primary
horsepower. This means the power
that Is available for the whole year.
About IS per cent Of this has been
developed. He then showed pictures
Of rivers and waterfalls, Of logging
and mills. schools ana potato farms,
in fact. views Of practically all Of
Names natural industries.
The last speaker Of the evening
was Philip Davis Of Boston, who is
author Of a recent book entitled
"Emigrants and Americanixation."

corning the characterization prob

Hitchcock's Version

What happene,. was described thus by
Senator Hitchcock in announcing the
negotiations were at an end:
We presented the Taft reservation
on article 10 as our preparation. There
was some conversation as to its exact
meaning We urged them to accept it
or to take few days to decide But
Senator Lodge definitely said he could
not accept it.
We then asked them il they had any
counter proposal or would make one.
Mr.. Lodge said he could not make any
counter proposal. I suggested that we
try to agree on way for taking up the
treaty in the Senate. but Senator Lodse
did not want q meeting on that sub
1ect. Sc we are going to proceed to call

countries of Europe. Martin Conboy.
director of the draft in the New York
district during the war, subjected him
to long redirect examination on the
subject CT general strikes.
Mr. Conboy asked if American So
cialists planned, according to the Chi
cago manifesto to utilize the general
strike TO back UP political action.
Mr.. Lee replied that ''if the circum-
necessary" he presumed the party pro-
gram would be construed So He add
ed that he believed that if conditions
such as prevailed in Russia in 1905 and
at other times in Belgium or Prussia.
should occur in this country or state.
they would make such action justifi-
able and necessary"
Every socialist hopes that no such
emergency will arise in this country at
any time" he concluded.
Here Mr.. Stedman interrupted.
II can see the miners and whole
working class going out on strike pro-
ing them rather than taking the mines
under control" said the attorney. IF
the working class made such demand
to reinforce a general political demand
for the relaxation OF such an Injunction,
the socialists would stand side by side
with them everywhere"
Mr.. Conboy then asked the witness:
Let US assume that these five gentle
men whose seats are in question should
present a political program here in the
shape of proposed legislation and they
were reinforced by the combination Of
industrial action including within Its
possible for them. would 1t not, in the
event the legislature refused to adopt
the movement, to cripple the industries
of the state and to starve the people
thereof"
Il think you are assuming an i'm
possible condition." replied Mr.. Lee.
In ending his explanation of Mr..
Lee, Mr.. Conboy. warning the COM
mittee Of the DANCE of starvation to
which New York would be subjected
in event of a general strike, said:
That is the condition you have
got to take into consideration in de-
termining whether the activities of
this so-called political party which
intends to force, buttress. and sup
port its political propaganda by this
kind of industrial acton, does or does
not qualify its members to sit in
this body"
In attempting to show the Socialist
attitude toward -Tar, the prosecution
introduced many pamphlets among
them articles oppo.ing the draft
which were published by the Ameri-
can Socialist and used as evidence
in the cases of Victor L. Berger and
others convicted of having violated
the espionage act.
In attempting to show the attitude
of the individual defendants the
prosecution introduced war time
bills against which -.hoso then in the
assembly had voted. These included
measures dealing with the state mill.
tary forces.
Adjournment then -:--as taken until
next Tuesday.

MARS DECLINED
 TO TALK BACK
Scientific Experiments With Wireless in Nebraska Results in Messages Only Prem Earthly Sources and
 None From Nearest Planet.

Cedar Creek. Neb.. April 23.-The infinite spaces where the stars abide have been plumbed and reveal nothing. Mars did not give up his secret. The riddle of the universe is still riddle. For ten hours Dr. Frederick H. Mile ner, inventor and scientist. and Har- vey L. Gamer, retired electrical engi- neer, listened through the great elec- trical ear they say is capable of hear ing the mystic notes of ali realms. No flash came across the skies to indicate the presence of mortals on the planet Mars.
 As the two men entered their labora- tory in Gamers residence. a storm broke. Static disturbances interfered with any signal that may have been sojourning in the earthly atmosphere and gusts of rain fell. The storm passed, the heavens cleared and far in the southeastern skies, Mars appeared scarcely more than pinpoint of un- winking blaze.
 Short wave lengths were connected with the coupler as tests were made. One by one as the wave lengths were increased the listeners heard Arling- ton, Havana, South America, a greater length was attempted, after a moment strange notes were heard in the re- ceiver. ''OOdle, oodle, oodle, o-o-o-o-o- oodle," they sang in the earpiece. Berlin" Dr. Millener explained. Now we will try the big one.- The S5-miie antenna was swung in to current with the 2O,000-meter coup ter; the wave length grew and grew until it must have expanded into re- gions beyond the comprehension of the human senses. One by one the notes of the scale sounded and the highest tone sobbed off into infinity.
 We are in. tune with the outer worlds" Millener declared, his eyes growing round in excitement of ex- pectancy. We have reached that point beyond the range of earthly wireless. If there is any message we will hear it now" No sound entered the receiver; then came clattering thumps which re- peated themselves at intervals Static disorders-the aftermath of the storm the scientist said.
 The day was approaching, Mars grew more radiant, apparently ap preaching. the earth, then dimmed and receded in the completion of it's orbit
 The far crow of a rooster penetrated the laboratory. then came sounds of persons rising in the Gamer household We will try again." Dr. Millener said T am not disappointed; if there
 is such thing as inter-pianetary com
 munication I am sure it will be com
 pleted through this method. If any sta
 tion on this earth could have picked
 up message from outer worlds ours
 could have done so. Marconi's theory
