Ira B. Hagan, jr., of Ellsworth has
been appointed to an important posi-
| tion as field superintendent of State
| highway construction for eastern and
northern Maine Heretofore the
supervision has been carried on prin-
cipally from the Office through dis
trict supervisors. Now the State has
been divided into two districts, with
a field superintendent in each, who
will have supervision of and be in
direct touch with the various district
supervisors. Mr. Hagan has a large
territory. His friends are congratu-
lating him on his appointment to this
important position. He is eminent
ly qualified for the work, both as
civil engineer, and from practical ex-
perience in State highway construc-
tion and supervision. He has for
some time been supervisor for north
ern and western Hancock, with few
towns in Penobscot and other neigh
boring counties. That his qualifica-
tions were recognized by the State
highway department is shown by the
fact that the appointment came to
him entirely unsought and unexpect-
ed.

Washington, Nov. 16.-In a note
to-day to Representative .,Finis J.
Garrett of Tennessee, Miss Olive
Schoefeld, the young lady who was
struck and injured week ago ct
Scott Circle by his automobile, in
forms him that her physician states
that she will be able to leave the
hospital in few days. She also as
surcs Mr.. Garrett that nothing in
your conduct at the time of the oc-
currence caused me to entertain the
slightest Ill feeling toward you.' In
a letter to her physician Miss Schoe-
field requests him to inform the
proper authorities that she has no
charges of any kind to make or press
against Mr.. Garrett. 1t was reported
