Seeks Money for Repair
Franklin Wharf, Portland

Much interest is manifested by
/ the Portland delegation to the Leg
/ islature in the proposal to ask the
| Legislature for an appropriation OF
about 100000 to repair the Franklin
wharf portion of the new State Pier,
| in order that the Eastern Steamship
| Lines may have better facilities for
carrying out plans for the expansion
| of its service between Portland and
| Boston, New York and other points.
| What the proposed expansion will
mean to Portland and the rest of
! Maine cannot be told, but it will be
/ Il boon to shippers and also to the
! resort business, it is asserted.
! Under the terms of the contract
which has already been prepared the
Eastern Steamship Lines would pay
to the State $4,000 annually in rem
| tai for the property mentioned, if
! the Legislature makes the apprO-
! priation necessary for the desired
| repairs on that section of the pier.
At present the steamship company
pays $500 a year for it's quarters on
| the pier, but the contract provides
| for rental of $16,500 as far. as the
! Eo1tOn service is concerned, and it
is said that $4,000 additional would
be paid for the New York service.
With the improvement Of the
! Franklin wharf portion Of the pier,
there would come resumption of the
old International service, with boats
running to Rockland and Eastport.
a day and night boat to Boston and
a twice a-week summer passenger
service to New York.
Calvin Austin. president OF the
Eastern Steamship Lines, in letter
bearing on the proposed enlargement
Of the service, said that "it indicates
| a very genuine interest which I have
! always had in the Maine coast SER
! vice and my belief in its possibi-
| lities of usefulness and value to the
entire State of Maine"
One argument in favor Of the new
| service is that it will prove of great
benefit to the potato growers of
Aroostook county. Instead of keep
ing their spuds stored in houses in
their home county, they could ship
them to Portland and place them in
cold storage. Then, when there was
rise in the market in New York.
the potatoes could be sent to the
Metropolis by the Eastern Steamship
boat and catch the market on the
upward trend.
1t is likely that the pier bill will
be introduced at en- early date ~

peror court yesterday by Judge Rob

with maliciously shooting a hound dog

ney. also n resident Of that district
Lhe defendant was represented aby
lSurlelSh Martin, who made an ablc
plea in behalf of his client, but tho
court hold that someone had shot the
dog and he thought that someone,
was Bowden. Bail was furnished and
the respondent released. The case was
| full OIL amusing incidents and Judge
Cony had difficulty in maintaining the
usual quiet and dccorous attention Of
| those present.
| The complainant testified that she
was walking along the Windsor road
Win John Murphy and the dog was
! 'rottlng few yards ahead When the
dog arrived in front of the property
OF Mrs. Rose Carson Howell a shot
/ rang out. The dog bounded off tho
.oad ana headed toward the house.
: TWO other shots were heard and the
dog dropped. She did not see who
!ircd the shots. On cross-cxamination
7
complained previously that the dog had
: annoyed her but this matter had been
taken up in a previous case. She said
, mat the deg was gentle, playful crea-
turc and had never been ugly.
| Mr.. Murphy told the same story, and
James II. ,Mallaney, brother of the COM
! plalnant told of going to the Howell
/ house and declared that Bowden had
stated he had shot the dog Charles
/ w. Gordon said that he met the dog
in the road just before the shooting.
/ had heard the shots but did not see
the dog drop.
Mr.. Bowden in his own defense de-
clared that he did not shoot the dog
but that he told Mr.. Mallaney that he
had SO as to shield someone else. He
| sad there were only three people in
the house. Mrs. Howell, William Miller,
Civil War veteran. and himself
! Mrs. Howell declared that she did
rot shoot the dog and Mr. Miller had
the same to say. Judge Cony appca red
slightly peevcd when he remarked that
its appeared to him that there was an
attempt on the part of the witnesses
I for the defense to obstruct Justice.
/ After Mr.. Martins plea the court re-
mark.d that someone in the house shot
! the dog. Mr.. Miller was eliminated
! because of his old age. He believed
! Mrs. Howell who she said that she did
/ not and SO that left PoWden, who had
| stated that he shot the animal and he
J believed him. He placed the bonds at
| $500. not so much because Of the kill
! ing of the dog but because the free
use of firearms in that vicinity must
| cease before life more valuable than
| that of dog was sacrificed.
