GOVERNOR HAS NOT
ASKED HIM TO WITH
DRAW SAYS DAVIES
Newiston Journal. Aug. 80


What is to be the next move in
the Public Utilities case? This con-
tinues to be the chief subject of dis
cussion in Augusta.
The statement of the Governor
that the Executive Council is not
likely to confirm Mr.. Davies. is TAX
en- to indicate that the Governor will
not reappoint Mr.. Davies until some
thing tranSpires.
The Governors statement that
he will leave it to public sentiment
to determine, means that the gov
ernor is looking for the case to be
come SO critical an issue that there
will be public discussion of it tc
a greater degree than there has
been as yet said a prominent man
here today. 1T really is the most
important matter before the public
in many years. The longer 1t lies,
the worse it becomes.
One of the rumors concerning
this matter is that the governor
went to Mr.. Davies and asked him
to withdraw
Mr.. Davies said today that the
Governor had never asked him to
withdraw. He had been approach
ed by a prominent republican lead
er and asked to withdraw. He went
to the Governor and asked him if he
had suggested that the gentleman
so approach him and the Governor
had said that he had not.
Mr.. Davies said that he could not
take any step unless it were a mat
ter of consideration to the governor.
Mr.. Davies viewed the situation
very calmly and judicially. He re-
ferred to a recent editorial in New
York CONNIE rcial newspaper in
which he was characterized as a
dangerous radical and said that this
was news to him.
Mr.. Davies gave the impression
that the situation was outside of his
control He would not embarras
anyone in the matter. He felt that
neither would the governor proba bly,
drop his name without mentioning
his intention to him. so to do; and
llldI lOI HIS OWN part ne COuld n OF
withdraw without advice and sug-
geStion from the governor He had
not seen the governor recently in
connection with this subject He
had waited as had the governor for
statement of reason for not ap-
proving him. 1t now appeared that
it is due to reasons indicated in the
New York Commercial editorial. He
had never felt that he was incapa-
bic of giving judicial conside ration
to matters of public utility. Nor did
he think that his attitude was one
sided He believed in the rights of
all persons. in their safe guarding
and in their preservation. But this
is not of Importance. in view of the
present situation. He held himself
perfectly agreeable to whatever dis
position of the matter the governor
desired to make.

A TWISTED MASS

pull. Eng, Aug. 25-(By the Asso-
o;o,nd press) Efforts to salvage
tho wreck of the ZR-2 in the wide
s,read mouth of the Humber river,
in the hope that more of the bodies
~ her crew might be recovered.
4ro,n the twisted debris of the giant
.ircbin were resumed at low tide to-
dav All Hull. it seemed, watched
from the quays along the river,
which pours itsel ( out, chocolate
co,ored, TO the sea. Thousands of
nersons stood patiently for hours
watching while the salvage men
struggled with the difficult task OF
running steel rops under the wreck
Of the airship seeking to pull it from
the muddy bottom with the incom-
ing high tide.
During the late day admiralty
onIcers went out in a tug to inspect
the wreck while small salvage craft
OF the air department were recover
ing what they could from the parts
of the ZR-2 projecting from the wa
ter. The American air officers, anx-
ious to locate the bodies of their
comrades, also inspected what was
left Of the dirigible that was to have
taken them to the United States.
The ZR-2 lies on a sand or mud
bar about half way in the mouth of
the river, three -fourths OF a mile
from shore The water at low tide
here is about four feet deep. So
twisted is the skeleton frame which
projects from the surface that, de-
spite the shallowness of the water at
low tide. it will be extremely difficult
to move the wreck because of it's
great weight, with clinging mud and
the river running swiftly on either
side.
This afternoon one salvage boat
was working at the wreck, but the
more complete apparatus which was
expected had not yet arrived. Old
river men shook their heads skepti-
caly and declared it would be no
short job to remove the great bulk of
metal
Meanwhile, a lightship has been
stationed alongside the wreck to
warn traffic of its danger. River
men are inclined to the opinion that
not many bodies will be found in the
DEBRIS, but will more likely be
found up river as the tide, which
was beginning to flow when the dis
as'er occurred, runs strongly for sew
eral miles up stream.
~ Is understood the bodies of the
TWO Americans already found will be
ethoaimed and sent home. Tomorrow

BOlsheviki Is
Worried Over
Famine Relief Move

Riga, Aug. 25-(By the Associated
Press) What Baltic diplomatic cir
Giles characterize as an extremely
nervous and jumpy" attitude is be-
ing shown by the Bolsheviki in con-
nection with the foreign famine re-
lief. Yesterday the Third Interna-
tional sent out a wireless message,
again informing the world proletar-
lat that the enemies of the Soviet
intended to use the famine relief for
counter Revolutionary purposes and
accusing France, particularly, saying
she was promoting "A new war
against Russia by Rumania and Po-
land. NJ. Tchitcherin, the Soviet
foreign minister, has informed the
foreign ministers of Finland and
Letvia, Esthonia and Lithuania that
the Soviets have learned positively
that Russian monarchists in the bor-
der states are planning a campaign
of ASA SSination against officials in
tiers, which they would try to blame
on the Communists in order to pro-
mote trouble. The Letvian officials
have asked NJ. Ganetsky, Russian
Soviet minister here for more in
formation regarding this.
News that Il British warships are
coming to Riga on Sept. Is, while
two small American warships al
ready are in the Baltic on a visit
of courtesy, has also greatly alarmed
the Bolsheviki.
A few days ago Bolshevik armored
trains were sent to the Finnish
frontier and when Finland demanded
the reason, the Bolsheviki are un-
derstood to have replied that this
was their answer to the arrival of al
