Coolidge and

pressed by President Coolidge in an
address at the annual dinner OF the

Speaking informally, the Presi-
dent said:
II suppose that the American peo-
pie are conscious that we have Il
constitution of the United States. and
know that they are attached to
the defence and maintenance of that
great institution. They know that
we have government that is made
up of three branches: the executive,
whose duty il is to enforce and
maintain the laws: the judiciary that
interpretS the law and administers
justice between man and man, and
the congress. or the Legislative
branch. which is supposed under the
constitution to be engaged in legis-
lation.
Il think the American people ap-
prove utdIlllS VI tIdl KIM OF COl

they want 1t maintained In it's funda-
mentals."

Head N. Y. Central
Railroad Killed

New York. Mar. S.-Alfred II.
Smith, president of the New York

day when he was thrown from a
horse in Central Park.
The accident occurred shortly aft
er o'clock and Mr.. Smith was
taken to the Fifth Avenue hospital,
where he died of broken neck. He
was 62 years old.
Besides being president and direc-
tor of the New York Central Lines

sidiary railroads in that system. He
was director of the Fifth Avenue
Bank OF this city and Of large finan-

Mr.. Smith was riding along q
bride path in the park and stopped

Says Maine Lays
Electrical Power ,

Portland. Me, Mar. Supper
water power in its relation to New
England was discussed tonight at
an Economic Club dinner by George
Otis Smith. director of the United
States geological survey, department
of the interior. a citizen of Maine.
He told why the super-power plans
should prevail and what prevents it's
extension into Maine.
"Super-power is not a new idea.
but simply a mile post in the evolu-
ton of industry, the outstanding i'm
provements in the 1870 1890 model"
he explained. 1T represents an
economic, not a political idea. AT
bottom super-power IS an engineer
ing undertaking. but on 1t can be
erected social structures.
"Super-power expresses that kind
of conservatism that develops and
uses with full economy, not keeps
from present use. An undeveioped
water power-no real value to the
people of today. its reservation from
use is Il parody on conservation and
an indictment OF public common
sense.
I'm brief. super-power seeks to
make cheaper electric current by
hitching up large and economic pow
ers with large and economic steam
stations. and super-power seeks t.
distribute cheaper electric current
by hitching up large and small GUS
toners"
He emphasized the need of de
Eating our water power idea" AT
most water power is only coal
saver" he said.
The fact must be faced that
Maine is dropping behind in its ap-
plication of power through the uses
of its citizens. Montana. with two
thirds the population of Maine, uses
nearly three times as much electric
