ND. BILL WOULD CURB
OUT OF TOWN TRADERS

ANN APOLIS s, Feb. 23.-Suits
against concerns in other States
which have business transactions
with Marylanders but maintain no
local office or agent would be made
possible by a bill introduced yester.
day by Delegate Taylor, of Wicomico
county.
Application Of its provisions is said
to be designed chiefly for commission
merchants and similar small con-
Germs. Hundreds of such cases come
up on the Eastern Shore, Mr.. Taylor
said, and much time and money are
lost in attending suits in other States.
Under the bill action could be brought
where the plaintiff lives or where n
contract was made or was to be per.
formed. The defendant would be
required to name an agent to receive
service Of process.

association, occupied the chair
Questioned regarding the coal strike.
he replied that if one should occur and

shortage in anthracite for the next l.
months. He further stated that there
is enough coal in reserve to supply all
the anthracite territory demands with
two-months' shutdown. 4 sufficient
amount of coal would be produced in 10
months to meet the demand of New
England.
According to Mr. Clark. il the i'm
pending strike is settled within 90 days.
the public may expect a reduction of
from $50 to 50 ton in the price of
coal. He said that the cost of pr0duc-
ing coal a ton is IS while bringing it

Sci FCTNIEN SEND REPLY
CONTINUED from Page IL

the claim of the town of Brattleboro
against your company, was received, and
has had our careful consideration. The
things suggested by your letter were
pretty thoroughly gone over at the con-
ference of last week, but as you have
deemed it proper to fully outline the rea-
sons for your offer of 80 Per cent we
will here state briefly SOme of the reasons
WHY we feel obliged to decline the same.
In the first place we have In mind the
fact that the Connecticut River Power
company. in accepting the benefits con-
fcrred by its charter. also assumed the
liabilities imposed by the same InStru-
ment and particularly that part of the
charter which is as follows: 1t shall be
the duty of the Connecticut River Power
company. at all times, to fully, properly.
and efficiently protect the railroads. high
ways. and highway bridges mentioned in
this section. and to compensate said rail-
road corporations and towns, respectively,
for all injury or damage sustained by
them. or cit her of them. in consequence of
the construction or operation of any dam,
dams, or any other work done or structure
erected by this corporation.
"BrattlebOro is one Of the towns and
the Brattleboro-H insdale bridge is one of
the bridges that is specifically mentioned
in this connection in the charter.
We also have i'm mind the fact that
by building your Vernon dam the normal
flow Of the water in the river was raised
more than - feet directly under our
bridge Had the water not been raised TO
that high level by the building of the dam
our bridge would have been perfectly safe.
THE town Of Brattleboro does not
want to collect anything from your COM
pany that it is not justly entitled to.
! When the damage first occurred the towns
interested. at n conference with attorneys
representing your company. endeavored to
find out just what your company would do
in the matter of cooperation with the
towns to repair the damage in the best
way possible and at the least expense.
We were met with a fiat refusal on the
part of the company to do anything.
! Hence. the town was obliged to proceed to
repair the damage. in order that its pub
| lie highways might again be open to
| travel This work has been done to the
/ best of our judgment and at as reasonable
| expense as possible We have made no
claim against your company for anything
except the actual money paid out by the
| town We are not asking anything for
| the damage our people suffered in way of
| Inconvenience or loss of business by rea-
son of these highways being closed. We
are not attempting to penaliZe your com
4 pany in any way.
! Directly answering the three matters
particularly suggested IN your letter We
would say:
First To the proposition that the
present bridge is a better structure than
| the bridge which il replaces. we admit
| there may be some force to this sugges-
| ton, and perhaps in fairness it ought tc
/ be considered in getting at a settlement
/ 1t was this consideration largely thai

zens of the state of Massachusetts 1t

the taxes were paid under "compulsion
and durcss'' and in violation of the con-
stitution of the United States.
