MINERS REFUSE ID
 AGREE ID TERMS
British Govt. Proposals Are
 Turned Down

London, May 20 tPt-rho national conference miners delegates today rejected the go>ernmcnt's proposals for settlement of the miners strike.
 The delegates adopted a resolu- ton saying: we are unable to recommend that the mine workers accept Premier RaIGwin's proposals for reduction Of wages which do not at present provide for a decent standard of living"
 The resolution adopted by the delegates said that the conference was largely in agreement with tho legislative and administrative pro- posals set forth in the premier's plan but that the conference could see no reason why these measures should first be reviewed by coal advisory committee. The resolution said that the miners were prepared 10 render every assistance possible 10 secure the success of the measures.
 "We further object 10 the pro posal for a board with an iude- pendent chairman empowered to abolish the national minimum wage and to enforce various minimum wages by districts" the resolution said. I've consider that in making this proposal the premier is not hon. bring the pledge he gave to the country in his message broadcast on May which read: I wish to make it clear as ] can that the government is not fighting for lower standard of living of the miner or any other sections of workers"

whose privilege il will be to name the only fifth ward republican, and known to aspire 10 the higher office, must therefore stage q one-man eau GUS at which he will probably find himself the choice for alderman; he must then caucus to select his suc- cessor, and lastly bring the names before the common council for ap- proval.
 Practically the only distinction be- tween aldermen and counciimen un- der the present system is the fact that the former are members of the finance committee Grysbowski, in addition 10 being in line for ad- yancement because of his service in the council, is a banker and a certi- fled accountant, facts which it is eX- pected will make his service on the finance committee desirable.
 Karpinskrs resignation to the common council was unexpected. Few members of the council were aware until his letter was read that he intended to quit the city govern ment.
 Although the resignation was not accompanied by an explanation, it is understood that he only recently learned that his service in the fed eral government as a collector of in ternal revenue made service in any branch of the city government il- legal.
 Karpinski became a councilman in 1928. After serving one term he was nominated by the republican party as successor to Peter J. Pa jewski who retired as an alderman in 1925. He was elected and has now entered his second year as an alderman.

Greenfield Man
Sentenced to Pay
A Heavy Fine for
Killing Two Deer

The department of inland fisheries
and game has received report of case
OF State against H. V. Littlefield of
Greenfield. in the county of Penob-
scot. charged with killing two deer
In closed season on Olamon stream.
In the town of Greenfield. This case
was taken before the Old Town muni-
cipal court on March %.
The defendant was adjudged guilty
and sentenced to pay a fine Of $50
and costs taxed at S4O.S6.
The complainant was A, e. Cum
bingham. deputy inland fish and
game warden Of Greenbush. This
case is the result of some very eff
Gent work on the part of Deputy
Wardens C. w. Carney of Bradley,
and A. E. Cunningham. The ward
ems found where two deer had been
killed from a yard-the only two
deer within a radius of five square
miles in that section. AS the result
OF very clever work on the part of
these efficient wardens, this prosecu-
ton was instituted,

bridge which will be q temporary
structure use will be made of the
abutments and piers of the old bridge
which was blown down in the spring
Of 1922. The bridge will consist of
a wooden structure made up of a
wooden truss span 60 feet long and
four stringer spans, each having a
length of 16 feet. At the ends of
the bridge betw cen the existing abut-
ments and existing piers there Will
be two 10-foot spans. The sub
structure will consist Of pile bents
on the location of the old bridge.
Llewellyn y. Edwards, chief bridge
engineer of the State highway de-
partment, estimated the cost of the
new structure at $500, which sum
under the bridge act would be raised
proportionally as follows: State of
Maine, $2737.50; Somerset County.
$780,; Flagstaff Plantation, $1826.98:
Bigelow Plantation, S685.52.
The construction of temporary
wooden structure was favored in
view of the prospect of the building
of the Dead River storage basin
which would wipe out the village of
Flagstaff.
In this connection, a letter was
read from George S. Williams of Au-
gusta, vice president and general
manager of the Central Maine Pow
er Company. who wrote in part as
follows:
LAS I understand the proposed
Dead River Storage Basin which was
taken up at the Legislature three
years ago the f1owage would entirely
wipe out the village of Flagstaff and
that the water would be at height
even with the roofs of the present
houses in the village therefore we
feel 1t would not be practical to con-
struct permanent concrete bridge
for that location.
Il do not believe that there Is any
question but what this water stor-
age basin will be built within the
next Ave to ten years and that If a
temporary bridge Is constructed with
this idea in mind 1t would reduce the
expense of construction when 1t be-

Robert, Son of
Explorer Peary,
To Also Explore

New York, Mar. 25-(AP)-Robert
Peary, son of the North Pole discov-
erer, is following in the footsteps of
his father and hopes some day to be-
come a great explorer.
Scientific studies now are claiming
his attention at Lehigh University,
but when June and vacation time roll
around, he will take his first trip
northward with the Putnam Williams
expedition to Greenland to gather ma
terial for the newly completed Hall
of Ocean Life of the American Mu-
scum Of Natural History.
Young Peary is not taking the trip
as pleasure jaunt. Instead, he will
be a full-fledged member and will
have to do the work mapped out for
him just as all others of the party.
The same man who was skipper of
the vessel used by Peary on his sue
cessful North Pole expedition will
command the Morrissey on the
Greenland trip-Captain Bob Bartlett.
The navigator, who has known of
Young Peary's plans, long has wanted
him to make his first trip on the Nor
rissey.
H. C. Raven, assistant curator Of
comparative and human anatomy at
the museum, is heading the expedi-
ton, which was organized by George
Palmer Putnam, the publisher, and
provided for through a gift by Har-
rison Williams.
The white whale, sharks, seal and
walrus are some of the specimens
the party will bring back. Attempts
will be made to take movies of the
white whale in action as there are no
such photographs on record.
Frederick Limekiller and Van
Campden Heilner will accompany the
party as taxidermist and ichthyolo-
gtst, respectively. Knud Rasmussen,
Danish explorer. also is expected to
join the expedition. The youngest
member will be Putnam's twelve
year old son, David. y

hearing before the Uublic Utilities
Commission Thursday morning at

by Levi r. williams Of Augusta ana
Martin L. Hughes of Hallowell ask
ing for a certificate to establish a
iitney bus line between Augusta ana
ocean Point, passing through ana
serving Randolph, Pittston, Dresden
Mills, Wiscasset, Edgecomb. Booth
bay Harbor and East Boothpay.
Mr.. williams spoke in favor OF the
petition, stating that 1t was their be-
lief that as long as the steamer Vlr-
ginia will not make trips from Au-
gusta down the river this coming
summer, bus line properly operat-
ed would be a great benefit to the
people and would pay expenses. He
pointed out that 1t was not con-
templated to carry passengers from
Augusta to Hallowell and Gardiner
only. One fare would prevail from
the three cities to Ocean Point. The
partners plan to put a seven passen-
ger REQ touring car on the line. Par
cells and baggage will be carried.
The fare schedule from Augusta
as set forth in the petition Is as fol-
lows: To Emerys. Pittston. so cents;
Dresden Mills, IS cents; Edgecomb,
SIPS; Boothbay Harbor, $1.50; East
Boothbay, $1.75; ocean Point, 81.
1t is planned to make one round
trip a day. The distance from Au-
gusta to Ocean Point is AZ miles.
The start will be made from Angus
ia at A. NJ. Returning, the car will
leave Ocean Point at p. M.
Attorney William Tudor Gardiner.
representing the Androscoggin &
Kennebec street railway. stated that
the railroad company desires that it
be inserted in the certificate that
passengers should not be carried
only between the points Of Augusta,
Hallowell and Gardiner.
Chairman Quincy Of the commits
sion pointed out that it has been the
policy of the commission to protect
existing utilities If they are giving
good service.
Col. George E. Fogg of Portland
appeared for the Maine Central Rail-
road. declaring that although the
railroad company has no objection to
offer he thought that there might be
competition with the Rowe Steam
boat Company operating between
Wiscasset and Boothbay Harbor.
At the close of the hearing. the
matter was taken under advisement
by the commission.
