impulse, when they should take more
time.
He did not like the idea of inviting
a man from a certain section of the
State to come over here and give
them his views. He felt the Legis-
lature could dig into those matters
itself. At the same time he realized
that such man might give valuable
information, but what would be the
end? MY colleague, here" said he,
may think of a man in some other
part of the State and then we'd have
to call him and so we might be chas-
ing the rainbow ends for many weary
days. 1 now move that the vote to
invite Mr. Callahan to address the
House be reconsidered."
McIlheron of Lewiston said that he
was very much in favor of the order
inviting Mr.. Callahan to appear be-
fore the Legislature. He believed in
getting information first hand and
not to depend upon the press. "We
are all aware" said he, that we
might see things in the press that
are misleading. There can be no
honest, sincere motive in motion
to reconsider
The sharp rap of the Speakers
gavel brought the Lewiston member
to a pause and Speaker Barnes
said: 81 would recommend that the
gentleman read the rules of the
House"
Il was speaking on the order" said
McIlheron.
"You may proceed within the rules,
but the Chair will permit no asper-
sions against any member of the
House."
The Lewiston member ,said that he
wished to apologize; that he had no
desire to make reflections against
any member.
They were all there, he said, as
Representatives of the people and
they had taken their oath to perform
their duties. He felt that this was a
matter of much moment to the peo-
pie. There was no politics in it so
far as he was concerned. When he
took his oath of office he left his
politics outside the door. He want
cd to keep hands out of the people
pocket.
to reconsider was declared carried,
but McIlheron doubted and on a di-
vision the motion prevailed by a vote
of II to 10. Buzzell then tabled the
order.
1t was stated after the session that
probably special committee to in
vestigate expenditures from the con-
tingent fund would be named and
Mr.. Callahan called before it.
The resolve for the maintenance of
the Blaine house was finally passed
and sent to the Senate.
The committee on judiciary report
ed ought not TO pass on the anti
crime wave bill and the Public Utili-
ties Committee made the same report
on the act allowing Aroostook county
to issue bonds in aid OF q railroad.

Senator Eaton of Oxford appeared
Thursday afternoon before the COM
mittee on State Lands and Forest
Preservation in behalf of the bill to
provide for the disposition of moneys
received from the White Mountain
Forest Reserve under the act of Con-
gress of May 90, 1908.
Senator Eaton explained that such
moneys or percentage thereof was
paid by the United States treasury
to the State in which the reserve is
located and by the State every year
transferred by resolve to the county
in which the reserve is located. This
act Is simply to provide for the
yearly transfer or payment direct
from the State to the county, with
cut the trouble Of securing the pas
sage every two years of a resolve.
The amount now involved Is about
$500, according to Deputy Forest
Commissioner Neil L. Violette.
Senator Baxter Of Cumberland
county appeared for the resolve en-
dorsing memorial to Congress in
behalf of the establishment of for
est experiment station in the White
Mountain reserve. Mr.. Baxter said
it had the support of the important
forestry organizations. 1t is purely a
Federal matter and will cause no ex-
pense to Maine, although through
the experiments in the management
of forests and forest lands will be of
great value to New England and to
Maine.

w. Thomas of Portland, former min
lister to Sweden and the founder Of

Me-, and Hon. Leon F. Higgins of
Brewer, the President Of the Senate
of the 10th Legislature. Both were in
vited to occupy seats with President
Baxter and both briefly addressed the
Senate at the close of the routine
business.
Clarke Of Lincoln, under suspen-
sion of the rules. introduced an act
for the better protection of the
lobster industry within two miles of
Monhegan island between June 1 and
Nov. Is of each year. The bill was
tabled for printing, pending refer
ence to the committee on sea and
shore fisheries.
The resolve for the maintenance of
the Blaine Mansion as the official
residence of the Governor of Maine
was received from the House and
finally passed without debate. Be-
ing an emergency measure, two
thirds vote was required. Twenty
four voted in the affirmative and
none in the negative.
The House order for the investi-
cation Of the agricultural conditions
in Maine, by a special committee
which is to report to this Legislature
by bill or otherwise, was adopted in
concurrence.
Minister Thomas. when introduced
by President Baxter, was given a
round of applause. He spoke for
about Is minutes, going over the
familiar story of the Swedish COL
ony brought by him to Maine over so
years ago and applying the industry.
attachments and Accomplishments of
these colopists to the real meaning
of Americanization, asserting that
Names greatest need is now Ameri-
canization, not only of the State but
of ourselves and that 1t can best be
done, as 1t was done by the Swedes
of New Sweden, by work, honest
work, and work in the soil of Maine.
Minister Thomas was warmly APP
plauded.
Former President Leon F. Higgins
was given a warm reception when in
troduced. He expressed his pleasure
at seeing old friends and meeting new
ones. He said he had been here at
the organization of the S0th Senate
and had been seeing in the press
good reports of what it is dong. He
expected nothing else from such a
fine looking body of men. He agreed
fully with Minister Thomas as to
Americanization and would go even
farther, making the Federal law so
strengthened that every foreigner ar
irving here should be able to read and
write the American language or re-
turn to his own country.
Mr.. Higgins said it was evident
that the S0th Legislature had its
work cut out for it. Even his old
committee appropriations - w S
having it's trouble, and after Joking
it's members about the task of maxi
ing suitable and satisfactory tax
rate, he wished every member of the
committee and the Senate the same
pleasure in forming lifelong friend
ships that had been his privilege in
the 18th Legislature.
