take or. flow out any water powers
Belonging to private individuals pes
low the Chesuncook Dam, or below
the dam authorised by the Act. The
right Of eminent domain always has
been jealously guarded by the Leg
isalture. but this Act gives it away
without restriction. The storage
developments in this region are SOLE
ly for private profit. and although
a great industry has located there the
fact remains that most of the rights
Of the people in water storage have
been parted with forever in this vast
section Of Northeastern Maine.
The West Branch Company in the
years gene by has been granted
everything it has asked for and now
seeks further privileges. In my
opinion before any such grant is
be taken into consideration, and the
people Of the State should share
directly in the benefits that will ac-
Crue by reason Of this increased stor-
age capacity. nr str
This franchise is very similar to
that asked for by the kennebec Stor-
age Reservoir Company and my rea-
sons for disappearing the latter
franchise apply with equal force to
the present. In the case before us
the State already has parted with
many valuable rights and certainly
halt should be called. Before any
additional privileges are granted the,
rights OF. the people should be de-
fined. and a halt should be made in
the granting of storage franchises
until the proposed constitutional
amendment is placed before the peo-
pie. 1t is easy to give away these
great franchises, but once alienated
they never can be recalled. The
chain of lakes that already has been
decided forever to the West Branch
Driving and Reservoir Dam COM
prises one of the greatest water stor-
age reservoirs in Maine and It's value
runs into millions Of dollars. 1t will
work hardship upon the company
in question if the charter it seeks
is postponed until the people of the
State are given the right to decide
what they themselves desire to do
in the. water storage, question.
shall not give my approval to any
great water storage projects at this
session Of the Legislature. for the
time has come when all these fran
chises should be denied until the
people come into their own.

MISS WEN PUTS
ADM|RER ON
PROBATION
Mildred Believes Trial Period
viii Help to Clear Her Own
Mind on Marriage.

Mildred. Wen today put George
Mum. Lee. her determined New York
suitor, on probation for three
months. 2.
Admitting that from what little
she. has seen of him, Lee is VERY
nice young man. Mildred told him
before he left for New York today
that she believes this trial period
will permit her to decide definitely
whether their union will prove to be
for the best.
Thoroughly Americanized and a
student at the New York Univer-
sity, Lee still possesses his Celes-
tialpatience and anxiously awaited
an opportunity yesterday to win
the marriage consent of the young
Chinese girl who twice Tilted him
and. embarrassed his father, Lee
Qu6n, president of the Chinese Mer.
chants Fraternity of the United
States.
Doubtful Of Future.
Friends of Mildred, who secreted
her on both of the occasions she
disappeared from her home at 3l6
Ninth street, say it is thoroughly
understood that should either MIL
dred or Lee find a more desirable
mate during the probation period
that the widely acclaimed marriage
between them will be amicably
called off for all time.
Mildred frankly admits she does
mot know her own mind. While in
the presence of Lee she intimated
that their marriage is a foregone
conclusion, on the other hand she
spiritedly informs Sergt. A. J. Mill
KEN. acting chief Of the women e
bureau, that IL efforts to force her
to lead Lee to the altar are re-
sumed she will once more perpe.
ttrate her now famous vanishing
| trick"
| How Lee contracted with her
| father, Wing Ling Wen, owner OF
Hong Kong Low, to marry Mil.
bred after he had been smitten with
her on first sight, was revealed
TODAY and proves no spontaneous
romance led up to their engage
ment.
Visits Very Brief.
1t was last June, when Lee was
touring the Atlantic seaboard cities
that he dropped in at the Hong
Kong Low. Mildred was then act
ing as cashier at the restaurant
He told the father he desired to
tlnarry Mildred. and several weeks
later was appraised by Mr.. Wen
that the terms of the contract were
satisfactory. Lee came to Wash
ington for a second time and gave
her the engagement ring. These
two meetings, both of brief dura.
ton. formed the Chinese girls
''courtship!'
It was this engagement ring that
Mildred returned to her uncle
fGeorge. Y. Wen, only two days be
fore her latest return, and is nov
in the possession of Lee. A larger
diamond ring. valued at 81, 900 and
gift from her mother, is worn by
Mildred and has been mistaken foI
the engagement token.
