removal more than divided with the enthusiasm of resubmission The senate chamber was packed to the doors the people even extending way out into the hallway The gallery was full to overflowing-People began wending their way to the state house as early as 730 in order to get a seat and by the time the gavel fell the seats had all been taken Hundreds of people were unable to gain access to the upper chamber and part of the overflow drifted into the house to listen to the discussion on resubmis-sion Senator Clarke of Noble boro but really a resident professionally of Portland the youngest senator spoke first and occupied considerable time In showing the inadequacy of the present structure and how cheap a new capitol could be erected In Portland incidentally giving many figures to show that his tatements were authoritatively correct Senator Heselton of Gardiner spoke in opposition to removal and it was one of the strongest arguments of the morning he being greatly applauded at the close Senator Staples of Knox the ever running rivulent of oratory spoke for removal as o-id also Senator Merrill of Portland Senator Parkhurst then arose and said? question for the people to decide is first shall the capitol be moved at all and if so where? Not in one vote shall it be moved to Portland This is a most unique and vicious referendum The people of Portland say the vote shall be in June a time when the-farmers are too busy to attend the election and the majority of thoee voting shall decide not the majority of tbe voters of the state The citizens of her of tbe committee they kill more deer around the sporting camps than they do around the lumbering camps and are not the sporting camps one of the real causes for the wholesale killiug of the deer And I know from my own observation that a great man) people kill deer just to get their Mr Carleton would not agree with Mr Stearns that the sporting camps killed any considerable number of deer nor would he admit that tbe deer were often killed just to get the heads In fact he knew of few If any cases Herbert Gardner of Patten fought hard against this proposition of allowing only two deer in a lumber camp in one season He thought the policy was too narrow He thought perhaps a little closer watch could be kept on the lumber operator)! to see that they utt not hire men to kill game as has so often been contended Mr Carleton himself believing that such practice has been in vogue To this statement Mr Carleton replied that you might send the whole state militia and you catch these fellows og to do Is to enact law that will strike right at the core of the matter and then it can be officially regulated Rep Knowltcn asked that after' the two deer has been eaten in one camp what was going to become of all the other deer that the men were entitled to shoot all said Mr Carleton they can shoot them of course but they would not be allowed to take them into camp to eat They would have to hang them up outside on trees and elser where and if they eat them or do anything with them they would not be likely to shoot them They do most of the shooting on Sunday I tpll you the idea is to remove the incentive to kill Unless this law is enacted there will be no deer in Maine in a few years Mr Gardner asked Mr Carleton If he had already eaten two deer in one cf his lumber camps and some friend from Massachusetts came to visit him this law would mean that he could not serve this guest any venison Mr Carleton said he supposed that would be what would happen under the law Mr Carleton then went on to say that there were 35GC0 men in the Maine woods from August to February and that there were only 20 to 30 wardens to cover 20000 square miles you can see from these figures how difficult it is to regulate the matter under the present said Mr Carleton City Properly Fair Prices BASKETBALL IN MILO (Special to the Bangor Daily News!
