land asked that the magistrates be
authorized to issue warrants for
searching houses suspected of being
used for prostitution, the present
law not permitting it and greatly
hampering the officers. Judge B. f.
Cleaves heartily endorsed the plan,
saying that he had often been obliged
to issue warrants for search for Ii
quor to enable the officers to get af-
ter such houses as mentioned
Ralph w. Crockett of Lewiston an
peared for the bill which would per-
nit people to examine and copy from
the records and stock books of cor
porations. He thought that privi-
leges should be allowed without go
ing to court for permission. Judge 3.
F. Cleaves said that if it was not for
just such a law, Ponzi would not now
be in Jail, though having obtained q

ing a benefit, it would be a dangerous
thing to allow and that hiso rganiza-
ton, the Associated Industries of
Maine, was strongly opposed to the
measure. c. L. Andrews and e. l..

Committee Hearings
LEGAL AFFAIRS

The Legal Affairs committee had
az unusually interesting afternoon of
hearings on Tuesday and the spiciest
of all was on the act to legalize the
vote of the inhabitants of Sanger
vile at the annual town meeting of
March %. 1920.
F. ]. OConnell and Judge B. w.
Blanchard of Bangor appeared for
the act making county commission
ers pay the fees of deputy sheriffs ev-
cry month, instead of waiting three
months, as often now. No opposition.
Chairman c. l.. Buchanan of the
Cumberland county commissioners
asked that the borrowing limit of
that county be raised from $4,000 to
100000, on account of the large sums
necessary to be hired at times.
Rep. E. E. Rounds asked that fees
and salaries of towns cities and plan
tations be limited to $4,000 annually.
He said the salary of the superinten-
dent of schools of Portland had been
raised to $4,000, more than the State
superintendent was receiving. He
would exempt the city organist of
Portland, who also receives $4,000, be-
cause the entertainments and reci-
tails bring back that amount to the
city.

He said that he regarded this as a
very dangerous bill; dangerous he
cause of the tendency toward social
istic principles. He believed that al,
individuals should do all possible for
themselves, that families should do
the same and that cities and towns
should work for their own good. tn
continue in this manner was to set
up a center of finance and of every.
thing and then we would be contend
ig with the sarle thing that they are
in Europe.
Supt. w. D. Fuller of the Portland
schools spoke in opposition to the
bill. He said what was needed most
was to rouse the people of the rural
centers to interest in their schools
to a point where they would, instead
of looking to the State for all aid do
something for themselves He de.
clared that if supplies were sent to
the rural schools they disappeared

weapon; he said if he had he would
have fired.
Neuf made long statement detail
ing the nature of his activities as a
detective for the American military
forces at CoblenZ. He asserted that
he had succeeded with the aid of Ger
man authorities in apprehending nu-
merous American deserters in vari-
Gus sections of Germany. He had
been on Bergdoll's strait for a long
time and he said he had sought Ger
man police wise for his American
passport to avoid complications at
Eberbach.
He had sought to kidnap the Am
erican Stacker in order to forestall
escape to Stuttgart as Neuf believed
that the German police at Eberach
were disinclined to assist him des-
pite the fact that the police author
tiles at Coblenz had given him cred
entails which he understood entitled
him. to operate in unoccupied parts
of Germany.
Two police officials from Coblenz
testified that the German authorities
were frequently called on to cooper
ate with the American military auth
tiles and that Neuff had often made
trips into unoccupied Germany with
their knowledge and consent to seize
American fugitives from justice. The
German police officials who worked
with Neuf spoke favorably of him.
Six representatives of the Amer
lean forces in Coblenz are in attend
ance on the trial, for which thirty
five witnesses have been summoned.

fore the committee on taxation Tues

ment to the Constitution providing
for a State income tax. Rep. Gardi-
ner said that a STATED ncome tax
would reach a large amount of in
tangible property which now ESCAPES
taxation. Although the measure was
defeated at the last election it re-
ceived the approval of the voters of
seven counties. Both parties in
their platforms advocated the State
income tax. "a
Hon. Charles S. Hicbborn sof Au-

votes.

was a direct attempt, General After.
to join the union under fear of losing
their seniority rights.
A closed shop either union or non
union was denounced by the general
who said a worker should have the
right to he or not to be a union man.
Allegations against the Pennsyl-
vania were in turn brought up by
Mr.. Walsh who read a copy of let
ter purporting to have been written
I. w. Geer, general manager of the
ST. Louis Columbus division of the
Pennsylvania, in which supervisory
employees were ordered "even to re.
sort to defamation of all labor organ
izations, if necessary" to obtain GER
tain information. The letter asked
officials to inquire into the attitude
of employees regarding proposed wage
reductions and was dated March 10,
1921. General Atterbury declared he
had never heard of the letter and
after calling Mr.. Geer in st. Louis
by telephone, announced that Mr.
Geer denied he had written such
letter and declared no such letter
had been written with his authority.
The matter would be investigated
at once, Gen. Atterbury said.
Two votes on piece work taken by
the unions, showing ninety-eight per
cent. of the employees in favor of the
hourly basis of pay, were not fair,
Gen. Atterbury said, and declined to
accept the union figures as fair.
"The open ballot as conducted by
these organizations is not fair nor
a decent vote" said thewitness. "To
have the men vote so that they may
be intimidated if they don't vote the
way their officers want them to vote
is not a decent way to ask a decent
man to vote"
Taking up Gen. Atterbury's minor
ity reports as chairman of the rail-
road executives labor committee in
which he stood against national
boards of adjustment. Mr.. Walsh
opened a series of questions on the
statements of the minority group.
General Atterbury declared national
board would lead to naturalization
and syndicalism and cited William
u. Foster as "a syndicalist and A. f.
l.. Leader" representative of the
class by which railroads were men
aced.
The general also read from n de-
claration of principles by the Cleve-
land Chamber of Commerce and
signed among others, by Warren s.
Stone, president of the engineers,
and w. G. Lee, president Of the train
men. This declaration said free
dom ON contract should never be i'm
paired" and declared employees and
employers should negotiate agree
ments for their own guidance This
principle, Gen. Atterbury said, was
the same on which the railroads took
their stand.

The Portland High school basket
ball team will not compete in the Uni
versity of Maine elimination tourney
at Orono this week. This leaves the
field in Cumberland county undisput-
ed, to the Westbrook Seminary Quin-
tet, according to the ruling of the
Maine authorities, who declared that
Portland High school and Seminary
must play off to determine which five
shall represent the county. Principal
w. B. Jack of Portland High has de-
cided that it is not wise for the boys
to stay away from school three days.
This would be necessary in order to
compete in the tourney. AS it is I'M
derstood that Morse High, Edward
Little High and Cony High will not
make the Orono jaunt, it looks as
though the tournament tile would be
a bone of contention among the acad-
envy, seminary and other preparatory
school teams, with a few of the best

sprinkled in;

year Jordan was i'll much of the sea-
son, and had little luck with the
Seals, but when he rounded into form
at the close of the year, after being
loaned to Tacoma, pitched great ball,
and was recalled. This past winter,
the tall twirler has roughed it around
the hills of F'ryeburg, and is in fine
shape. There seems no reason why
the eX-Buffalo hurler. who was irwin
chile in the International League,
should not have one of the best sea-
