Refuse Petitions
For Heavy Vehicles
On Maine Highways

The State Highway Commission has
recently refused to grant the applica-
tons Of two freight and passenger
transportation companies and one
public service corporation seeking to
operate motor vehicles with gross
weight of over three tons over certain
highways Of the State prior to May Is.
The petitioners who had filed appli-
cations for operation Of such motor
vehicles over the highways were:
The Boston & Maine Transportation
Company, seeking to give bus service
between Kittery and York and be-
tween the Portsmouth Navy Yord and
Kittery; the J. G. Deering Company Of
Biddeford, desiring to operate lumber
trucks; the New England Telephone
& Telegraph Company, petitioning to
operate a fleet of Is trucks; and the
Cady Moving &c Storage Company of
New York and Providence.
The refusal of the State Highway
Commission to grant these petitions
Is based upon its order that no COM
mercial vehicle with a gross weight
(vehicle and load combined) exceed
ing three tons shall be operated over
any State, State Aid or third class
improved highway of the State of
Maine between Dec. l, 1925. and May
Is, 1926, unless such way is surfaced
with granite block pavement, brick
pavement, cement concrete pavement,
bituminous macadam or bituminous
concrete, or unless such way is solidly
frozen.

Quoddy Project
Engineer Seeks Right
To Sell Stock in Maine

Dexter P. Cooper, engineer, who
has proposed to develop power by
Harvesting the tidal waters of Ouod-
dy Bay, has petitioned the Maine
Public Utilities Commission for the
right to sell stock in this State.
Certain rights were granted Mr..
Cooper by the last Legislature. but
all OF these were conditional on ap-
prevail by a vote of the people.
1t was freely stated during the
many weeks in which the Cooper
project was before the assembly that
the financing of the $780, 100000 pro-
Ject was not in question; that all
Mr.. Cooper sought was the right to
proceed, and that having permission
from the four interested parties. the
necessary money could be obtained
without difficulty.
1t was this statement, perhaps,
which doubled the enthusiasm in the
counties adjacent to or neighboring
on the Quoddy development One of
the big arguments of the friends of
the project was this: Here is an
engineer with a plan to develop pow
er from the tides; his money is avail
able, and even should the plan prove
unfeasible, then it could work no
hardship, since a large amount Of
money would be spent in the State.
With the understanding that Maine
investors would not be asked to back
the development with money, Mr..
Cooper's petition comes as somewhat
Of surprise.
According to the Maine law, ap-
prevail of the Public Utilities Com
mission is necessary for the issue of
stock, or for the right to sell stock.
No hearing has been ordered on
the petition. 1t Is understood that
no date has been fixed because that
is the wish of the petitioner.
In addition to approval by the peo-
pie of Maine. the Quoddy develop
ment Is contingent on the approval
of the United States Government,
the government of the Province of
New Brunswick and of the Canadian
Government.

SIX Municipalities REPRESENTED IN
PERSONNEL OF FIVE VAUDEVILLE ACTS
At AUGUSTA OPERA HOUSE THIS WEEK

ten people who are playing in Au-

pears in black face with a soft line
of monologue in the manner of the
African negro, which somehow tick
les ones disabilities to the point of
hilarity 1t is understood that Eddie
Is native of Florida.
The Antipodes are represented by
the three Ander girls-"Little" Min

hail from far off Australia and pre-
sent one of the most novel numbers
seen here this season.
From Heidelburg. Germany, comes
Chester B. Hoffman, while his team
mate of Hoffman and Hughes-Marie
Hughes-was born in London, Eng
land. Mr.. Hoffman has been BIZ
cyclist for more than a score of years
and carries scars of six-day bike
racing days. His diminutive partner
has played the vaudeville theatres Of
four continents, and has the unique
distinction of jumping from Aus
tralia to New York, by way of Eng
land, to accept a new contract in. a
production.
Anyone who has witnessed the
vaudeville show of this week could
guess without seeing the young lady,
after hearing her speak her lines and
most certainly after hearing her
manipulate the skirling bagpipe that
Miss Ruth of the Francis and Ruth
combination is true Highland Las
sic. She is native of the heather
hilled Scotland.
Eddie Brock and Bobby Brown. the
fifth act of this weeks program, are
both of Jewish extraction, their par
ents having been natives of Russia,
where Bobby also had his nativity.
These ten people, who toll to give
entertainment and amusement to the
folks out across the footlights, es-
tablish their homes in their dressir g
rooms for the two or three days that
they tarry in town Far from their
own native lands, their domicile
changes at the ruthless booking di-
rection of the vaudeville offices with
which they are under contract. They
are as entirely human as are the citi-
zens Of our own fair city in the val
ley of the Kennebec, and are just as
pleased when their efforts are COM
mended by appreciative applause. as
anyone is to hear someone say, "Weil

STATE HOSPITAL.
HEAD ON RECORD
AGAINST LIQUOR
DR.. F. c. Tyson Speaking Be-
fore w. c. T. U. Describes
Destroying Effects of Alco-
holism

Opposition to alcohol either as a
drink or a medicine and support of
prohibition was registered on Friday
! afternoon by DR.. Forrest G. Tyson
! of the State Hospital in an address
! before the members of the Augusta
w. c. I. U. at the Y. M. C. A.
building. DIR. Tyson declared that
alcohol has been considered a stimu-
liant, but that in truth it is a mar
cotic sedative, similar in action to
morphine or cocaine. 1t is moreover
an irritant to the nerves.
He defined alcohol as toxin, for.
like other toxins, it. is obtained by a
process of fermentation. A toxin pro-
duces disease and alcohol does the
same, working definitely on the phys
| ical organism. When it enters the
blood stream it destroys the ability
of the corpuscles, both red and white,
to do their work, or in other words,
1t lowers the bodily resistance so that
the alcoholics succumb to disease
more readily than the non alcoholics.
1t also lowers the bodily temperature
and produces fatty generation of the
heart. atrophy of the kidneys and
works upon the stomach and liver.
With regard to its effect upon the
mind he spoke of delirium tremens
and of the Authorizations produced by
alcohol in such cases. He said in
favor of prohibition that from his own
observation of actual statistics, the
total admissions to insane hospitals
today on account of alcohol is now
but two percent whereas it was form
erly much higher. He pointed out
that in his belief wet arguments are
mostly sophistry. employed because
those making such arguments desire
drink for themselves. He stated
that figures compiled show that but
II percent of the children from I'M
ions where both parents are alcoholic
are normal, while with alcoholic
parents the percentage of normal
children jumps to "a per cent.
He stated that he believed prohi-
bition the only way to properly ham
die the problem, as alcoholics cannot
be trusted, their ideas of values are
distorted. The moderate elrinker is
the one who finally lands in an insane
hospital, the periodic drinker who
gets drunk and stays that way for
several days, works it off and comes
hack to normal, while the one who
continually pours small amounts of
N toiH"H Hilo his SYSTEM Is HnaIly
unable TO stand up under it.
Matters of routine business of some
Importance were taken up at the bus
mess meeting which preceded the
program of the afternoon. A delight
full feature was the playing of a vio-
lin solo by Miss Irene Tetreault. ac-
companied at the piano by Miss Caro-
lyn +. Chase. a rising vote of thanks
was tended to DR.. Tyson for his fine
address.

Publishers Move
To Block Motion
Postmaster General

Washington, April 2-(AP)-The
American Newspaper Publishers As
ISOLATION today requested the inter-
state commerce commission to deny
a motion filed by Postmaster General
New on March &c, in an effort to pre-
vent the publishers from intervening
in the railway mail pay case now
pending before the commission.
The publishers challenged the right
of the postmaster general to con-
sideration before the commission at
this time, on the ground that he
failed to move against them within
the time described by the rules of the
commission governing it's procedure.
In addition to challenging his right
to consideration, they vigorously at
tackled both the postmaster general
and the railroads on the ground that
both principals in the proceedings
have joined forces to prevent a con-
sideration of the public interest by
the commission.
your petitioner not only denies
that the business of collecting, hand
ling and disbursing the mails is a
monopoly" the petition read, "but
it also insists that it has an interest,
a vital one in the compensation paid
to the railroads for the carriage of
the mails. 1t was surprised that the
railroads should have based their
original motion on an allegation of a
monopoly which in fact does not ex-
list. 1t is even more surprised that
the postmaster general now has join
ed them in such a plea to this COM
mission.
your petitioner has already called
to the attention of this commission
the diversity and the extent of the
competitive services engaged in by
the post office department, the effort
of congress to put the purely business
functions of that department, espec-
tally as regards transportation. on
sound business basis: and the failure
OF the postmaster and his department
to conform to the wishes of congress
and to meet the demands of business
practice"
