The power of the senate president is Considerable and there can be no doubt that It will require a tremendous let of work before It becomes a law Anti -merger legislation will probably again be urged by the governor though the only railroad In the state which was holding street railways has disposed of these to holding companies and 1 Is very difficult to see Just what sort of a law can Me framed to meet the new conditions On this point the governor has held many conferences with Attorney General Malone i The street railway committee will not be nearly-so Important this year as it has been in the past though it will still have some large problems to handle The reason for this is in the general laws -passed last year to allow the incorporation of Inter-urban railways under the general law and without recourse to the legislature Governor Guild will undoubtedly recommend the passage of a law providing for state Inspection of all steam boilers Under the present law the state have only charge of hqse boilers which are not subject to the inspection of a 'boiler insurance company The great explosions'' In Brockton and Lynn showed the need of having all large boilers subject to state Inspection The senate will be called to order by Frank Chace of Fall River whorls the senior jrnember though Senator Bullock of Bedford ranks with him in point of service James Sidney Allen of Brockton will call the house to order There Is no contest over the various minor positidns Senator Chace will undoubtedly be again appointed as chairman of the committee on public charitable Institutions In which capacity he served last year with such excellent results to the commonwealth The senator has served during the summer as a member of the special committee on taxation and tljere is a possibility that he will be appointed as the ranking senator on the regular committee He will also In all probability go on banks and banking again 1 Representative Cook will probably be chairman of the committee on pay-rofl as well as yanking member of the cony mlttee on railroads Representative Fennelly may again gc on the committee on street railways although it Is understood that he worfd prefer to be a member Of the coAhrtte on labor and as Representative McDermott of Boston who was one of the two Democratic members pf tbli committee last 1 ABVEIITISEUENTS NEW THIS SAY Wanted Girl -Stove Doctors For Sale Plano Wanted Women To Let Tenement Found Pocketbook Troy Store Fire Sale McWhifr Co Corsets Talbot Clothing Father Medicine George Foley Violin Lessons For Sale Liquor Saloon McManus Clothing Dr King's' New Discovery Brown Co White Sale A- Sullivan Co Paintings Gifford jco Diamonds Higgins I Clearing Sale AMUSEMENTS Academy of Music The Fenberg Stock Co Tonight City Hall Bowling Alleys Bowling Tonight f- Dancing Academy Empire Bowling AHeys Bowling Tonight I Savoy Theatre Hooligan" Tonight i Theatre Refined Vaudeville Tonight LOCAL LINES Companies and Hibernian Rifles will meet In Divisioh hall tomorrow at 8 for election of officers Every member is requested to be present 1 The intention has been filed at City hall of George Lamarre of 282 Belmont street Manchester and Eugenie Terrien of 74 Darl-mont street Manchester There should have been a meeting of the parish committee in charge of St coffee supper and minstrel show last nigit but on account of the storm Jt was postponed until tomorrow night The affair will take place on January 2 Stephen Cunhmlngs of New Bedford was arrested a non-support warrant from that city thisj afternoon by Inspector Medley Marshal Hilliard notified police headquarters In that city" and Cummings will be taken there later for trial tomorrow morning A Gordon of the Southwestern Development Company of South McAllister Indian Territory who has been in this city for the past few days has returned to that place Eugene Davol-j has been! made the eastern representative of the company HIGH SCHOOL NOTES The basketballj season starts tomorrow afternoon when the Durfee High team plays Norwich University In the A gym at 3 The Norwich team Is exceptionally fast and during the holiday recess are taking a trip In this part pf the state Norwich University situated In Northfleld' is the military college of the state of Vermont It is ranked by the government as next to West Point They' have during their trip games withBellow Falls Springfield Brockton Taunton Cambridge Fall River land Reading The team consists of Brown 1908 captain and forward whose home is in Middletown Oonnj Barney 1907 forward of Springfield Vt Earl Chace and Parker guards from Malden Massl The Fall River squad will consist of the' following men: MacKnight captain Hoye Hood Shay Johnston Wilcox Sullivan A Courtemanche and Reed It Is expected that! a good game will be played and It will not be a waste of time to go and see it A meeting of the Durfee Debating Society was held In room nine yesterday afternoon the meeting tvas presided over by Miss Martha Wood the president!

Harkins of St South Boston as county chaplain of the Ancient Order of Hibernians for Suffolk county It will be remembered that in the closing days of the city election a warm controversy took place between National President Matthew Cummings of the A and Fr Harkins arising out of the contest for school committee between Mr Ellis and Mrs Duff Fr Harkins charged that on the Fri- day before the city election a conference followed by a dinner was held a the Quincy House both of which he claimed were called by prominent officers of the A who were ac- 1 lively Interested In the candidacy ot-Mr Ellis National President Cum- mtngs denied this vigorously but Fr Harkins In an Interview Insisted that he was right and that he could fully substantiate his statements onlyi that hb felt he was obliged to observe confidences which were reposed to him (Nothing further was heard the controversy until yesterday when It became known that at the quarterly convention of the Suffolk county board' of the Ancient Ordefof Hibernians held In Hibernian hall Revere on Sunday a 1 committee was ap-1 pointed to wait on the of Boston with the request that he appoint a chaplain for Suffolk county to take the place of Rev John Harkins 1 It was also stated that Fr Harkins was (not legally county chaplain In-Asmnch the division' he has been a member of has gone' out of existence therefore he was not even a member of the order Friends of Fr Harkins denied this Sunday claiming that he had retained hiS membership by Joining another division when the division he had first entered had to exist a reporter last eenlng Fr Harkins said there was no doubt whatever about 'his membership He had paid his dues up to date he rode in the parade St day as county chaplain and he always had been accepted and addressed as county chaplain by the officers and members of the Suffolk county divisions said Fr Harkins to the newspaper man through with coo troversy about this matter I care for any more newspaper notoriety I will simply state that my resignation as county chaplain Is in the hands of the county secretary William Fleming I always considered myself county chaplain and was recognized as such by all Hibernians and by ail county officials Including Mr Dillon the county president One word further than thlf I must decline to day" National President Matthew Cummings when asked last evening If he ad anything to say about the reslgna-lon of Fr Harkins replied that he 'had not one word to say It was a matter he knew nothing about personally he said and therefore Was In no position to speak for publication County Secretary Fleming was also unable to express any views when requested last might He had heard ru-rnors he said about Fr Harkins' resignation and that It was to to hjm as secretary of the county board but If the letter of resignation had been sent to him through the mail he would not getlt before morning Th Human Eleotrfe Battery The superstition that human beings should sleep with tl)elr heads to the north Is believed by the French to have for Its foundation a rclentiflc fact They affirm that each human system Is In Itself an electric battery the head being one of the electrodes the feet the other Their proof was discovered from experiments which the Academy of Sciences was allowed to make on the body of a man who was guillotined-This was taken the Instant It fell and placed upon a pivot free to move as it might The head part after a little vacillation turned to the north and the body then regained stationary It was turned half way round by one of the professors and again the bead end of the trunk moved slowly to the ear- -dinal point due north the same results being repeated' the final arrests tlen of organic movement 1 1 rr The EBxry One of the most peculiar things the whole history of signs Is the fact that while all other shopkeepers were patconlzlng the embryo painters the tobacconist 'always called upon the woodcarver en the continent as well a a in England Aa long ago as reign the wooden Image of the black boy was the favorite sign of the tobacco dealers Later the cus- tomary sign was the highlander er A figure ef Sir Walter Raleigh In Holland for some strange reason the to bacconlsts adopted the dairymaid as their sign with the motto for sucklings" The Indian naturally enough' has always been the predominant sign: In this
