armed bandits. why only yesterday

cause he would not tell him where we

escaped without obtaining any loot.
but he did enough damage while he
was here" Miss Coggeshall went on.
What made me angry was the way
those real bandits ordered me around
and told me to open the cage door and
stand against the wall. I did what
they told me to do, but I was hoping
that they would be trapped in the
bank or that some one could have got

The highest water known in Gar

canoes came up to the doors of the
Great House and entered the kitch-
en-. ,"he Great House was a hotel
located at the corner of Brunswick
avenue and Water street. on the site
now occupied by the Maine Trust
and Banking Building. At this time
the water was three feet deep on
Water street. In 1926 the water was
eight feet over the wharves and Is
feet above high water mark. On
Jan. %. 1880. the rise of water caus-
ed much damage. although not be-
ing as high as the two previously
recorded. On March %. 1S47, great
property loss is reported, the water
being reported as ID feet above high
water mark. Again in the freshet

signing his commission pending
Senate decision on the McNary nomi-
nation.
Regret over Mr.. McNarys refusal
to take a recess appointment was cX-
pressed by White House officials who
said that for a long time the Presi-
dent had sought southern man for
comptroller and that the selection
finally had been made without any
solicitation on the part of Mr.. Nc
Nary.
Announcement of the latest steps
taken in the row over the comp
trollerShip was made after confer
ence between the President, Mr.. Nc
Nary and Mr.. Crissinger.
Tonight Mr.. McNary issued this
statement:
THE tender of the recent appoint
ment by the President, speaks for

ter to him my reasons for declining
it,
Heretofore, 7 have refrained from

over my confirmation as comptroller

to do so now. but feel that it has
been made necessary by the state
ment given TO the press by Senator
COuZcnS.
THE statement given out by Sen
! ator CouZens is so completely false.
that in justice to myself and my
friends and the Senate committee
that recommended my confirmation,
it must be replied to. 1t is in direct
conflict with the records from which
Senator Couzens pretends to quote
and with the facts submitted to the
committee on which it made its re-
port recommending my confirmation.
For instance. the statement that
T had borrowed i'll amounts from
$4,000 to $4,000 from the First Ma
tional Bank of FL Pasco without Sc
curity. it utterly false. as shown by
the records of the bank and by the
facts submitted TO the Senate COM
mittec. ..
1.-THE statement that fifty-two
times during a period OF six months
a. suit instituted for the forfeiture
| of its charter, is false in every par
| ticular.
1.-The statement that the bank and
had speculated in sugar is false.
neither ever having speculated in
sugar to the extent of n dollar.
Senator Couzens says. Mr.. Nc
! Nary has told me that he contributed

Maine Legislature
Continued from Page One)

The issues are substantially the
same as they have been during the
past sessions of the Legislature.
Whi1e the phraseology Of the resolve
for a constitutional amendment diff
fers slightly from those previously
presented, it raises substantially the
same questions. One :ide claims that
such legislation is necessary in order
to secure adequate development of
the water resources of the State: the
other side insists that this constant
agitation IS only holding back the de-
yelopment.
The advocates of these measures
point to legal rulings that the State
cannot go into water power devel-
opment without first securing an
amendment to the Constitution; the
opponents say it is not necessary for
iC to go into that business at all. and
point to proposed developments by
private capital now asking for legis-
lative sanction as proof of this claim.
The former quote the present
Maine Water Power Commission. in
it's last report, that little develop
ment can be expected until
the State formulates definite policy
which the business world believes to
be relatively stable and permanent"
and point to the proposed amend
ment as such a policy. The oppon-
ents say that the repeated failures of
the past to submit such an amend
ment should be accepted as the adop-
ton of policy of non interference
by the State; that any amendment
opening the door to State ownership
and control only increases the uncer-
tainty; and that the proposed law
now pending. the Brewster act, by
showing how far it is possible to go if
the State opens the door at all. is the
best answer to the agitation for more
