Sullivan-Hancock Bridge.

We have received the following
letter from Hon Joseph M. Hutchins
of Penobscot:
Petitions are in circulation protest
ing against the outlay of S350,000 for
the sullivan Hancock bridge in COM
pliance with an act passed by the last
legislature.
To the many taxpayers in the tax
burdened towns of this section of Han
cock, who will receive little or no bene-
fit, it looks very much like an outrage,
With valuation of about $250,000, and
a tax rate right around so mills, this
towns opportionment will be about
$1,000.
Are our summer residents from
abroad to control the policy of the
State of Maine? Is the State of Maine
for the rest of the world and our
other interests lost sight of in the
struggle for pleasure?
We are a little surprised that
man of Mr.. Hutchins' usually broad
view on public affairs should take the
selfish position that because the pro-
posed bridge is of no direct benefit to
Penobscot, therefore it seems like an
outrage. His intimation that it is
purely for the benefit of summer resi-
dents would not require contradic-
ton, but for the fact that that line
of argument appeals to some voters.
The benefit to summer residents, or
to the tourist who might cross the
bridge once in a lifetime, would be
insignificant compared to the benefit
to the permanent residents of the
State, especially of the nearby towns,
whom business would take across the
bridge many times, saving the COM
munities in ferriage much more than
they would pay in tax for building
and maintaining the bridge.
Mr.. Hutchins cites the cost to Pc
nobscot as $1,000, which is ap-
proximately correct on present valua-
ton, but when the payment Of 81 200
and interest is spread over a period
of twenty or thirty years, as the
county commissioners propose, the
cost to the towns per year would not
be noticeable and the cost to the in
diSidual taxpayer shrinks to the van
fishing point.
We cannot allow Mr.. Hutchins'
letter to pass without one more
reference to the summer resident,
whom he intimates is trying to con-
troll the policies of the State. Maine
owes much to it's summer residents
and summer visitors, and few coun-
ties in the State owe more than Han
cock. Sink Mt. Desert island under
the ocean, sweep off the map of Han
cock county every home of summer
resident, send out Of the county
every man or woman who gains
livelihood because of the summer
resident, and keep out of the county
every dollar of summer residents
money; then asses against the re-
naming property and the remaining
residents of the county tax sufficient
for the benefits they now enjoy, and
see what would happen to Penob-
scots tax rate.

OBITUARY..
GEORGE E. DAVIS.

Ellsworth lost one of it's most es-
teemed citizens in the death last
night of George E. Davis, at his home
at Ellsworth Falls. He had been i'll
but a week, of pneumonia.
George e. Davis was born in Ellis
worth, March 4, 1852, in the house
where he died, the son OF the late
Horace Davis. AS boy he entered
the mills, rising quickly to place of
responsibility, and for many years he
had been boss of the long lumber
mill of what is now the Whitcomb,
Haynes e Whitney company
Mr.. Davis was a man of large in
telligence, thoughtful and reason
ing reader, and of sound judgment.
In all his relations in life-the home,
the community, the grange, the
masonic fraternity-he measured the
full stature of man, and had the
respect of all. In politics a demo-
crat, he was one in all earnestness,
but he did not allow his politics to
control his friendships.
Mr.. Davis stood high as granger,
and was ever Jealous in promoting
the interests of that organization.
He was a past master of Nicolin
grange of North Ellsworth, and had
held various offices in the Pomona
grange, being treasurer at his death.
He was also treasurer of the Hancock
County Farmers Union Grain &
Supply Co.
He was member of the several
masonic bodies of Ellsworth, and
faithful to the highest precepts of
the order.
He leaves five daughters and one
son--Mrs. John A. Scott of Machias,
William M. Davis of Ellsworth Falls,
Mrs. Harry G. Austin of Ellsworth,
Mrs. William P. Moore and Mrs.
Bertram Belts of Randolph, and Mrs.
Arno Shea of Ellsworth Falls; also
one sister, Mrs. William Currier of
Bangor, and twenty-five grand
children.
The funeral Friday afternoon at
the home, will be private, owing to
the illness of his daughter, Mrs.
Shea, just recovering from serious
Illness of pneumonia. Friends may
call between 10 and IL o'clock Fri
day.

MRS. f. e. TILDEN.

Friends were shocked and sad
dened this morning by the death of
Clara, wife of F. E. Tilden, at the
Hurley hospital, where she submitted
to an operation for gall-stones on
Sunday. While it was known that
her condition was critical, few were
prepared for the news of her death.
Mrs. Tilden was born in Ellsworth
fifty-one years ago, the daughter of
Clifton Cousins. She was a woman
of many estimable qualities, and de-
voted to her home. She had a large
circle of friends who mourn with the
family.
She leaves besides her father and
husband, four sons-Arthur c., Leon,
Francis e. and Charles L., and one
daughter, Mrs. Phyllis Campbell; also
two sisters, Mrs. G. P. Higgins of
Maiden, Mass, and Miss Helen Cous-
ms of Ellsworth. Her mother died
on March last.
The funeral will be held at the
home Friday forenoon, at II O'Clock.

Girl Doesn't Want Mother
She Cannot Remember
Special Dispotch to The Tribune

CHICAGO, Sept. 13-While a happy
mother, after twelve years search for
her daughter, was boarding the train
in New York to come to Chicago to see
her child for the first time, another
little woman was facing the difficult
task of telling the tifteen-y -year-old girl,
whom she had reared as her daughter,
that she was not her mother.
The real mother is Mrs. Mary Nau-
mann, of Brooklyn. Fifteen years ago,
after her child's birth, she became
temporarily insane and the infant was
placed in the Angel Guardian Home in
New York when the father died. When
the mother was released from an insti-
tuition all records of her daughter had
disappeared.
Mrs. Cahill adopted the girl when she
was four years old and brought her to
Chicago, where she reared the child as
her own, intending to tell her some day
that she was not her real mother but
continually putting it off. Mrs. Cahill
told Helen her secret when she learned
that the mother was coming here to
claim her daughter. Helen declared
that she would stay with her adopted
mother

Esoy Falls to Death
Between Platform
And Subway Train
Traffic ON East Side Lime Is
Held Up for 10 Minutes;
Patrolnlan Descends Into
Aperture to Save Victim

A gchoolboy, whose name is believed
to have been Andrew Natella, fell
under northbound Lexington Avenue
subway local at o'clock yesterday at
the Worth Street station. For ten
minutes thereafter, during the rush
hour period, power was shut of in the
East Side subway.
The boy, who wore pencil stripe
knee pants, cap but no coat, made
a dash across the platform for the
center door of the fourth car of the
train Just as the Guors crossed and the
starting bells changed. His hands for
a moment were pressed against the
glass panels in the door, and then with
a scream he disappeared. He had fallen
between the car and the platform,
which is curved at the Worth Street
stop.
The train was stopped by the ap-
p1ication of the emergency brakes be-
fore 1t had moved half cars length,
but there was no other sound from
the victim. Patrolman Ferdinand
tion, returning up town after a trip
to the city chemical laboratories,
reached the platform just at this time,
Throwing off his uniform coat and cap
he lowered himself to the track, and
so wide is the aperture between car
and platform there that he did so
without squeezing himself.
AS the policeman reached the boy,
jammed against highly polished wheel
of rear truck, the lad grasped his
hand tightly and tried to speak but
could not. Deputy Inspector Falconer,
of the 7th Inspection District had been
a passenger on the train, and the boy
was lifted from the track into his
arms. During this time the passengers
in the train were held frantic prison
ers by shut doors.
BY this time reserves were arriving
from the Oal, Street station; ambu-
lance and hook and ladder truck had
changed UP to the surface kiosk at
Worth and Lafayette streets, attract
ing an enormous crowd at this busy
traffic crossing.
The ambulance was from Beekman
Hospital, but crushed skull and
mangled hip made the rush against
the northward swirl of traffic useless.
The boy died as he reached the hos
pital. In his pockets the police found
an arithmetic paper of the seventh
grade, dated September II. At the top
was written in round script ANDREW
Natella." There was also receipt for
pair of shoes that evidently had
been left for repairs at the shop Of
