that could it be brought about there
would bo nothing to prevent his com
ing to Washington and accomplishing
his announced mission to the United
States of testifying before the com
mission of the Committee of One
Hundred of Irish conditions.
Secretary of Labor Wilson, it is un
derstood, has virtually decided to
sustain the appeal of O’Callaghan to
the Department of Labor from the
decision of the board of inquiry at
Newport News excluding the lord
mayor, although the case has not yet
been brought formally to his atten
tion and no decision will be announc
ed by him until the record has been
received from Immigration officials at
Newport News.
Before taking action on O’Callagr
han's appeal, however, it would be the
usual custoift of the Department of
lAbor ih the case of an alien arriving |
in the United States without a pass- ,
port to defer a decision until it had ;
been ascertained whether the depart
ment of State was willing to waive
passport restrictions commonly im
posed upon the entrance to the
United States of aliens.
On account of the friction which is
said to have developed between the
departments of State and Labor over
the admissibility of alien without
passports, it was understood today
that Secretary Wilson probably would
sustain the appeal of O'Callaghan
without any reference of the case to
the department of State.
Difficulty between the two depart
ments over the admission of aliens
to the United States is said to date j
back to the case of Alfred Nagel. |
Letvian secretary, whose admission1
to the United States even temporar- |
ily was held for a long period by the'
Stale Department upon what the De- i
partment of Labor characterized as!
ground which might only properly I
have been sustained by Secretary |
Wilson. Since then numerous aliens j
unprovided with passports have been
admitted by the Immigration author
ities without the customary reference
of their eases Jo the State depart
ment.

was many miles away.

$60,000 FIRE
(Continued from Peg* One)
M. by patrolmen Edgcomb and White
head, who gave the alarm to which
the lire company5 responded to a
man. Soon streams were going from
every available hydrant, and the
steam.engine had three lines on the
fire. The pressure was good, for the
position of the fire gave the max
imum power. Chief Shute and his
men worked like fiends and there
were many volunteers, one man a
stranger employed on the building
of the new bridge giving valuable
assistance. Business men organized
a bucket brigade to save adjoining
property.
Embers were carried more than a
mile away, for there was a. strong
northwest gale and a number of
houses in various parts of the city
caught on fire. But for careful
watching on the part of property
owners there would have been many
fires started.
During the height of the fire a small
boy got into' the second story of the
Pejepscot building and Raymond Al
dus, a foreman of the yard went ip
after him. He had some trouble in
getting out and was quite badly
burned about the face and head.
The coal, owned by the Consumers,
included 1,500 tons of hard and about
200 of soft and is still burning. The
building could not be replaced, it is
estimated today, for $12,000. Mr.
Holmes is partially insured as is the
Pejepscot Pulp &*Paper Co.
Tied up at the wharf of the latter
and aground were two Sagadohoc
Towing Co. barges, a lighter owned
by C. A. Bicknell of Rockland, all of
which were In grave danger. The
tug Pejepscot played upon them un
til she broke her pumps and small
pumps on the crafts were kept going.
Fortunately the wind was blowing
away from them. All electric wires
were cut as soon as the fire broke
out and in the business offices near
the fire there was no light. The Pe
jepscot people moved out all their of
fice equipment at 3:30.
In just one and a half hours after
the alarm was given Chief Shute
and his men had it under control,
although they fought until long after
daylight and today there are 45 men
still w-orking on it. There is a fresh
wind and it will be some time be
fore the coal fire can be extinguished.
The big shed owned by the pulp
company was built some years ago
by the Kenchboro Land & Fisheries
Company and contained every bit of
the working machinery of its pres
ent owners.
Successor of Coolidge
(Continued from Page One)
In his inaugural address Governor
Cox “earnestly recommended” that all
county jails be consolidated under the
control of the state; advocated that
the governor be given power to ap
point the state treasurer, secretary, au
ditor and the attorney general, and rec
ommended that the present minimum
legal salary for school teachers be
materially raised.
State officials, former governors
and a few intimate friends assem
bled in the council room, saw the
outgoing governor place in the hands
cf Governor Cox the tokens of office.
They included an Indian arrowhead
and flint, a relic of Colonial days,
the key to the square council cham
ber and the Butler Bible, left by for
mer Governor Benjamin Butler “as a
needed transmittendum. to be lead
by my successors in office.”
Immediately following this cere
mony Governor Cox was escorted to
the hall otf representatives where he
and Lieutenant Governor Alvan T.
Fuller took oath of office.
Reforms of administration rather
than legislative changes are the prin
cipal needs of the state, Governor
Cox said. As one administrative re
form he announced his intention of
calling departmental heads into
council with him to ascertain where
it is possible to transact the public
business better and at less expense.
The Ponzi quick-rich scheme was
recalled by Governor Cox's assertion
that protection of small investors
was one of the most urgent problems
before the commonwealth. “The most
effective way to discourage thrift
and to retard the accumulation of
capital is to. permit fraudulent pro
moters to rob the people of their sav
ings,” he said. “It is estimated that
worthless or fraudulent securities
amounting to at least $30,000,000 are
sold annually in Massachusetts.
Americanization work is greatly
hindered by such frauds.”
The cost of carrying on the state
government has become a heavy bur
den the governor declared in an
nouncing that a state tax of $14,000,
000 would be necessary to make up
for an excess of expenditures over
revenue during the last year. He
called for economy and thrift in use
of public funds . and recommended
that departments and institutions of
the state wherever possible purchase
supplies from each other and that
every department be required to use
the state treasury as its depositing
bank so that money might be saved
and a check be had on the location
of state deposits.
As a measure of justice to women,
the new governor urged amendment
of the constitution and laws so‘that
every elective office should be open
to them.
The establishment of a small
motor-vehicle patrol of inspectors as
a means of reducing the number of
killed and injured in motor accidents
was urged.
Governor Cox suggested the de
sirability of a memorial for the
state’s unknown war dead, citing the
action of France and Great Britain
as examples. “Doubtless the Navy
department would gladly 1 oan an
American warship on which to bring
from the fields of France the body
ot one of the unknown dead in battle
for burial with all military honors in
some vorthy place here,” he said,
adding that “it has been suggested
