Fierce WindstOrm
Damages Wires

While Saturday was one Of the
finest days Of the season fierce
windstorm swept Central Maine yes
terday afternoon doing considerable
damage to telephone and electric
light lines. Waterville did not. get
any rain but heavy shower was re-
ported at distance from the city
and during the middle Of the after
noon the lights were out.
The Augusta Waterville. trolley
cars did not come into the city after
half past two. At the Fort Halifax
power station last evening 1t was
reported that crew was out look
ing for the trouble on the trolley
line and that it was bought to have
been caused by high tension wires
blown down by the wind. Several
people were stranded in the city
waiting for the cars to run.
People who passed the weekend
Z at their cottages on lakes and ponds
found little enjoyment during sun
day as the heavy southwest wind
whipped the lakes into high waves
that made them dangerous for canoes
and rowboats. The wind swept up
China lake with such force that the
waves were constantly breaking
across the road where 1t leaves
China village for South China. The
road is fully six feet above the sur
face of the lake and a board fence
goes along the side Of the road.

about an early agreement OF the
conferees.
Most Of the conferees predict a
settlement of the conference action
on the tax bill before the end Of the
week. 1t is considered quite likely
that separate votes will be had in
both the senate and house on some
Of the provisions, particularly the
senate amendments of the corpora
ton tax and publicity of returns.
Senator Curtis, Republican, Kan
sas. in charge of the bonus bill, said
today he was prepared to put the
measure to a vote tomorrow with
out much debate. There was strong
sentiment, however, among oppon-
ents of the measure to prolong the
debate for a day or so.
Repassage of the bill automati-
cally would enact the measure into
law. the house having overridden the
veto. 313 to SO yesterday.

due for sad awakening when they

commander of the Disabled Ameri-
can Veterans, said in a statement to-
