iers to the Introduction of contra

| retention OF the present French CO.
director. M. Picard Destelan, it is
said, was stipulated solely in the in
| terest of efficient operation of the
| Chinese postal system and so that
| China could have the benefit of for
| eign experience and advice without
! foreign domination.
The de ,laration to be presented to-
| morrow on extra territoriality was
| drafted today by Sif'- committee
| headed by Senator Lodge. 1t pro-
| vides for the appointment of an in
| ternational commission of jurists to
| make study of the Chinese courts
before the foreign tribunals are with
| drawn.
Under the resolution as drawn up
by the sub committee, the govern
| ments of Spain. Norway. Sweden and
| Denmark, which have courts in
| China but are not represented here
! would be invited to join in the de-
+, cisions of the Washington conference

Standardization Interurban, which
will have a number of improvements
over the old car. This new car,
which following the general design
of the cars originally purchased for
the road and now used in the express
service, making few stops between
the TWO cities, is bit narrower and
has all the switches for the control
of lights and heaters placed in the
rear vestibule so that the conductor
can handle them from that position
without entering the motorman's
vcstibule. This is a convenience to
the car crew.
Another improvement is in the win
dows; these are double the size of
those in the present car, which will
make the interiors much lighter and
also easier for passengers to look out.
These windows are all hung upon
counter balances. and it is claimed
for them that they cannot stick,
which will surely be an innovation
in car windows. The car will be cleo
trically heated. 1t is to go in COM

Seek Ruling in
Status New Hampshire
Concern in Maine

A bill in equity which came before
Justice Morrill, in Auburn Monday
morning, was, at his suggestion, re-
The bill was brought by Fred Law
renee, State bank examiner, against
the Mutual Construction company of
New Hampshire, to determine
whether or not the company had vio-
lated the loan and building laws of
Maine.
In 1918, this company was given a
hearing in the Auburn municipal
court on two charges-violating the
loan and building laws and violating
the banking laws. The company was
discharged on the first, and held for
the grand jury on the second. When
the case came before the superior
court, is was reported to the law
court, which decided in favor of the
company.
The only testimony Monday was
given by Emile ]. Pelletier of Au-
burn, formerly general agent for de-
PENDANT company. He said he began
doing business for the company in
Lewiston and Auburn, and had sold
contracts in other cities. He said
that when he left their employ, 1000
contracts had been sold in this State
at $1,000 each. He also said that none
of these contracts had ever been per-
formed at the time he severed his
connection with the company. He
wrote on July Z of this year the last
contracts of the company that were
written in this State.
Among the exhibits offered as tes-
timony were newspapers printed in
the French language, in which advcr-
tisements appeared. that Mr.. Pelle-
tier believed were inserted by the
company, though he had no personal
knowledge of them.
