The meeting and luncheon took the
form of a testimonial of respect and
regard for the distinguished service
which Col. Strickland has rendered
to the educational interests of Maine
and expressions of regret that his
experience and vigor could not con-
tinue to serve the University and the
State.
Careful consideration was also
given to the possibility and the wis
dom of a survey of the educational
resources of the State with view to
determining the thought of the peo-
pie as to the place of a college edu-
sstion in the development of our

Maine seems to stand very def
nitely at the parting of the ways in
deciding whether or not the remark
able extension of high school facili-
ties in the past generation will be
duplicated for this generation in the
extension of the service OF the COL
leSes of Liberal Arts.
The time is rapidly approaching
when Maine must take this problem
in hand and determine. after due de-
liberation and investigation, what
course it is wise to take. A careful
survey by a committee thoroughly
representative of the commercial,
agricultural and educational inter-
ests of the State is under considera-
ton at this time

duStrial purposes was made in 1906
in order to protect federal revenues
The general would not discuss the
anti-liquor smuggling agreements at
length, but said the machinery he
would set up in Washington woulu
be founded on "a matter of exchange
of information and evidence" Each
country, he said. would stand by "to
see that its own laws are observed"
THE conference in England" he
explained, was a meeting of the rep
resentativeS of the executive depart
ments of both governments, getting
together to discuss this smuggling
with view of arriving at a common
understanding of the facts and agree
ing upon the administrative machinery
which would tend to stop illegal ship
The conference Mas "125 per cent
successful" he said and will have "a
very marked fleet for more success

as it regards smuggling"
"Thcy tell me at the British for
eign Office he said, that this is the
first time that a thing of this kind
has ever been done between nations.
Instead of trying to come to an agree

dence, which is very difficult to UNDER
stand sometimes. very slow process
at least, the British government, out
of their natural sense of law and or
der, were good sports enough to invite
us to come and sit around table
with them and call these matters up
in this novel way.
"Ths British feel and we feel. that
this is quite an advanced step in in
ternational relations"
General Andrews said that the
agreements did not mean that fault
had been found with the English en-
forcement of their own maritime laws.
"There is nothing wrong with the
English laws" he said. Il do not
wish to give such an idea. The fault,
If there is slackness, is with the Col
onial laws. Take the situation in the
Bahamas. for example. The British
are no more cognizant of local viola
tions in the Bahamas than we would
be in the port of the Philippines
General Andrews left the ship at
quarantine and was taken to the Bat
ferry on a cutter. Arriving there he
granted an interview to reporters,
answering their questions readily ex-
cept in matters he said would place
valuable information in the hands of
the smugglers.
He laughingly denied some Of the
stories concerning his abstinence
from liquor while in England and
France. One of these related how he
had refused French wine, saying: "A
pastry cook need not care for pas

so persons were killed in the battle.
The other two towns where distur-
Dances occurred were Accambaro and
Irapuato in the state of Guanajuato.
Archbishop Ruiz y Flores said that
the people of Zahuayo refused to de-
liver the Catholic churches to the
municipal committees appointed to
take them over after the priests had
ceased to function on July 81. A
group of so soldiers arrived from a
nearby garrison and were fired upon
by the people who took up positions
in the church towers and house roofs
and engaged in days exchange of
shots. The next ay federal REIN
forcements arrived and subdued the
Catholics. The soldiers then executed
twJ priests and the leaders of the
citizens.
The archbishop said that the people
at Acambaro also refused to turn over
their churches. Two visiting govern
ment engineers, who attempted to as
sist the local officials, were killed by
the crowd and their bodies hacked
almost to pieces. The priests vainly
appealed to the crowd to desist. Fed
eral troops then arrived and executed
three, possibly more, of the leaders.
All Catholic priests fed and the au-
thorities are searching for them.
The archbishop said that at Ira
puato a Mexican Protestant woman
tainted the Catholics as their SER
vices ceased, whereupon the crowd
killed her and then set fire to several
residences of Professionals Eederal

three or four leaders of the mob.

Moody's followers, from members of
viz A>o iNAuA iNitil, WIN were IncIl-
toned in the statement, and from
others in what appears will be the
classic political tourney centering
about the t'ergusons.

years ago on the Khan issue At

of her husband. James L. Ferguson,
and a popular animosity against the
Khan, she was abb to weld all anti

the irreconcilables who would vote

In preliminary reply. Attorney
General Moody, who lacked 1,77O
votes of having a majority over his
five opponents in the July II prim-
AIRY, laid the governors statement at
the door of her husband, former

of Civil and Spanish war veterans,
$1S,000,O00 more is needed for the
