Secretary Hughes

The retirement of Secrtary Hughes from the
United States Cabinet removes from it one of its
most prominent inen and II figure which has
ranked among tue leaders of American legal,
political aud governmental affairs for many
years. Few men are better known in America
than Hughes and there is hardly any one who
has been held in such high regard by the Ameri.
can people as hc has. As candidate for presi-
dent he was defeated when Wilson became pres
ident for the second term but in this defeat he
did not lose any of the public's esteem. During
the time that he has been seer ctery of state he
has conducted the affairs of that office in such
Il way as to escape the attacks even of those
who arc opposed to his political pprty. He re

STATE HOUSE
HARRASSED DEER
JUMPS THROUGH
TWO WINDOWS

reports of dogs chasing deer con-
tlnue to pour in to the Department
of Inland Fisheries and Game, one
of the latest of which, from La
Grange, tells of harrassed deer
jumping through two windows into
the kitchen of the house owned by
Robald Head of that town.
The warden in commenting upon
this case states II have been after
dogs chasing deer most of the time
for three weeks. There does not
seem to be anyone hunting with
these dogs. The dogs are running at
large"
Report was also received of a deer
being chased by dogs at Lake Mar
anacook but the Department is of
the opinion that this was probably
the case reported earlier in the day
near ReaGfield Derot.
A report was also received that a
dog had been seen chasing deer on
the Churchill Road. Augusta.
From outside Kennebec County a
report came from Charleston, Pc
nobscot County, that three deer had
been chased by dogs until they were
practically exhausted. The warden
upon notification, went to the scene
Immediately and remained hoping he
would find the dogs but wasunable
to see them.
Warden j. T.. Howard at Ridlo1-
Vile reports Saturday morning that
on Thursday he was called to East
Peru to investigate a complaint of
dogs chasing deer the day before. He
finds that the section men, drove a
deg away twice from large doe.
They did not, however, identify the
dog owner. The deer escaped and
fled to en- island after the dogs were
taken away, and they think she is all
right. The warden closed his report
as follows: Il hope something will
be done by our Legislature this win
ter to remedy this great menace and
evil of dog chasing deer. If, at any
time T could come to Augusta and
appear before the Committee I
would be glad to come at my own
expense and try and help remedy
this great evil"
