Dover, Me-, March lT.--Jesse G..
Scott, held here for hearing with
William Pomeroy on the charge that
they murdered Robert c. Moore at
Greenville Junction, was expected to-
day to furnish the officers with valu-
able informatb bn. He had indicated
his willingness to talk and il was un-
derstood Deputy Sheriff Adelbert g..
Rogers was coming here from Green
willie TO interview him.
Counsel have been retained by both
men. neither one of whom previously
had consented to talk. Pomeroy's
counsel refused to allow anyone TO sec
him. He is alleged to have done the
shooting.
Mrs. Moore, who also was wounded,
told the officers she did not see Scott
at any time during the fusillade, She
was alleged to have said that Pomeroy
passed within four feet of her.
II is known unofficially that evidence
strongly supporting the robbery motive
was obtained through the investigation
at Greenville. The officers were under

that Pomeroy learned from woman
now in Lawrence, Mass, that they had
in a small trunk 5000 in Liberty bonds
and about $500 in cash withdrawn
from a bank to reduce their account to
less than $1,000.
The trunk was opened last night,
when the missing key was found. The
contents had not been disturbed. The
officers were unable TO discover any
evidence that the house had been
searched for valusbles. IT was sug

BRYAN URGES
RATIFICATION
Tells Democrats 1t Is "Un-
thinkable" to Join in
Defeating Treaty
HAVE NO RIGHT TO
RESIST MAJORITY
Republican Leaders Claim
New Reservation Has Won
Over Some Democrats

Washington, D. c., March Nv. j..
BRYAN arrived here to-day from Florida
en- route to New York to deliver an
address Friday night, and immediate
ly became a participant in the llth-
hour negotiations of Democratic sena-
tors working for compromise on the
peace treaty.
Although Mr.. Bryan said he did not
intend to visit the Senate nor inter-
vene in the treaty situation. Democrat
ic senator's began to consult him be-
fore he had finished his breakfast.
Mr. Bryan gave out another state
ment. urging ratification of the treaty
For Democratic senators to join
the "irreconcilables' in defeating the
treaty." he said. sis unthinkable in ad-
vance of its being actually accom-
plished and it would be unspeakable
afterwards"
Mr. Bryan said it would be suicidal
for the Democratic party to deny the
right Of a majority Of the Senate to
declare the Senatcs policy.
I'VE have the right to appeal to the
people TO reverse the action Of the ma
;o-ifv.r he said. But we have no
right to resist that majority to pre-
vent the people speaking through their
representatives.
"The Democratic party cannot hope
to make much headway combatting
the fundamental principle upon which
IL stands
Republicans Claim Democratic Votes.
Following the introduction by the
Republicans of new reservation TO
the peace treaty, intended ito replace
the more definite international pledges
OF article 10, claims were made OF FUR
ther Democratic gains for ratification
with the Republican qualifications at
tached.
The new reservation. drafted by
Senator Lenroot. declares the United
States would view with grave con
Germ" anv threat against the peace OF
Europe and would consider what ac.
tion il would take in the premises.
While not many members OF the ad-
ministration forces have had opportn-
nity to study the reservation and its
effect. some senators predicted that its
adoption would palliate resentment
over the reservation Of article 10, which
President Wilson has declared would
"cut the heart" from the league Of ma
tions.
Debate on the new reservation may
start to-day unless it is decided TO
give more time for study OF its pro-
visions, in which case the reservation
relating to the Egyptian protectora'e
probably will be voted on.
Debate forestalled efforts to agree on
date for the ratification vote, but It
was hoped to fix the time for some day
this week.

BUILDING PARTIALLY COLLAPSED
Snow and Frost Responsible for Crash
at New Bedford.

New Bedford, Mass, March H.
Heavy SHOWS of the winter and the
melting Of the frost between the IA

sponsible for the collapse of the upper

feetin thickness fell against a trolley

STATE FUNDS RUNNING LOW
And the Contingent Fund Is Nearly All
Apportioned.

There is quite a little speculation
about the State House as to what ac-
tion Governor Clement might take in
case of a special session of legislature
being called. One of the papers recent
lv announced that If Vermont was
needed to make up the 80 states, he
would call a session. Some Of the de-
partments have run low on their ap-
preparations. Under the appropriations
Of last session, contingent fund Of
100000 was provided and from this
such funds could be drawn for the
benefit Of the different departments as
the board OF control might see tit to
allow where the regular appropriation
has run low. OF the 100000 about
$4,000 has already been apportioned
to some Of the departments to help
tide these over TO the next session of
the legislature.

commission have been excused. One OF
the talismen was Timothy helleher
and the other Mr. Chapman.
Tuesday afternoon, because no case
was ready for jury trial, the divorce
case of Susie Gray VS.. Edward Gray
was partly heard. The plaintiff testi'
fled that her husband abused her. One
of the witnesses, in reply to inquiry
made by Judge Chase, said she knew
only what had been told her. and her
testimony was shortly dispensed with.
In the Crane divorce case the petit
tioner has asked for more suit money
on the grounds that the petitionee Is
going TO contest the case and that
depositions will have to be taken in
California, which means more expense
to the petitioner TO prepare her case.

cases been settled in Washington coun-
ty court at the beginning OF the term

been six on the trial calendar and there
are some in the process of settlement.

in honor OF Michael J. Perkins, OF the
lolst regiment, who captured single
handed, a German pill-box with its
