MOVE TO ATLANTA j By THOMAS J. PEItCB TV ashington, Aug. 23. Special. Ad vices received at Democratic headquar ters are to the effect that Congressman Pou is making a winning fight in Maine, where he has been delivering campaign speeches fcr the past week. Mr. H. A -Arthur who heard Mr. Pou speak xat Rockland, Me., last Wednesday, was here today and he stated that Air. Pou was greeted by a large crowd, whoin he completely captivated. He said that the Aew England folks were greatly pleased with the young southern, ora tor and that when he concluded every man passed forward to shake his ani. He described Mr. Pou's effort as elo quent and forcible and declared that t produced a fine effect on the large crowd. The Rockland Daily Star said among other rHing.? of Mr. Pou's effort "Congressman Edw. W. Pou of North. Carolina addressed the Jac-ksoa club at the club rooms last evening. The two topics which .were ihe burden of hV address were r trusts ancT the Phi.ip pines. Mr. Pou is a typical southerner with a pleasing and unaffected style Qf oratory. He used plain language and few gestures and his attractive siyie and pleasing presence held the audience in closest ' attention. He charged the Republican party with fostering the trusts after-creating them by high pro tection and referred to President Roose velt's strenuous attitude against trnsrs as a huge joke. He said that at Pitts burg the president bitterly denounced trusts and combinations of capital to the people and after his speech he dined with H. C. Frick of the steel trust. The only anld-trusr legislation -that had been enacted was done by the Democratic party, aided by thirty-three - Republi cans, an abolishing the differential duty on Cuban sugar. Although the hoxis passed the bill the Republican Senate pigeon-holed it and there is sleeps to day. He said that Congressman Little-field was one of the Republicans who for a time was a Democrat and remark ed .thaf he regretted that Jjr. Littlefie'-d didn't stay with the party longer." !

' In the Boston Herald yesterday was an editorial urging Governor Crane of Massachusetts to. grant Governor Ay cock's requisition for Monroe Rogers, who is wanted in Durham. The Boston paper justifies the action of Governor Crane in giving a hearing to those per sons who protested against the extra dition. The paper goes on to say, how ever, that had Rogers been a white man "it is improbable that any one would have thought for a moment of asking Governor Crane not to recognize the official request which has come from the chief magistrate of a sister state." The Herald says, among other things In this lengthy editorial: "It seems to ns that a very little con siderationN of the subject will convince disinterested citizens that the governor of the state of Massachusetts ha. in this respect but one course to follow that is to comply, with the requisition of Governor Ayeock, provided It Is In all Tespects in regular and legal form. To take any other course wonld be an rnsnlt to a sifter state of a wholly gratui tous character. ..When it can be asked, has it ever happened that a prisoner , brought into the state, of North Carolina by requisition methods has been lynched or has received an unfair trial? To say that l't may happen is to assnmo to act before a precedent rather than after one. and this -the digni of our state would forbid. If the grf emor of 'North. Carolina is not the only state pledge then a future request coming from him or one of his successors might be rroperly declined. "But it has to be borne In mind that North Carolina is no tthe enly state concerned. If the colored man Rogers had escaped from any of the states south of Mason and Dixon s line, the same ar-znmen-t would have been raised by those i who have appeared sklng that the requi sition be set aside. We should in this if li f ri ii uiyt wrm vyaivuua inn, all of the states of the south, and this, as we said above, without the least rea- becanse whatever these common- ave done m their local affairs, they apparently have never yet failed to observe good faith In the treat ment of alleged wrong-doers brought from other states. If th wishes of . the gentlemen who expressed their views to the attorney general were carried out, Massachusetts would be converted into a place of refuge for negro criminals from all the southern states.

One of the most picturesque sights in connection with the coronation was witnessed yesterday at Dover when the maharajah of Jaihur. the most important coronation guest from India, embarked on nis return journey. The maharAjahs.Is a most scrupulous ob server of his faith. He never undertakes a journey until the state astrologer has ascertained if the planets are propitious. Thursday twas the day originally sewieo fnr his dna'rtuTe. and the planets mied that Thursday was the right day for the maharajah to start, but at the last moment his engagements interfered i so that his departure had to be made by a deputy, Dhauhat Rai Bahadur, the mahtrajah's director of transports going to Dover. There the state autroVoger decided that the journey from London to Dover had sufficiently propitiated the planets and Bahadur awaited his lord's arrival there. . . The maharajah arrived punctually f .at 11:30 with thirty tons of personal lug gage and 150member of his suite, and immediately proceeded to the captain's bridge. The maharajah personally su perintended the embarkation of his bag gage, which was divided into two classes secular and religious. The por ters and boat's crew were alowed i to help handle the former, but none except the members of. his own suite weTe per mitted to touch the latter. The most .important items in the religious collec tions were the mariarajah's family god, who was packed in a large wooden box with strange ?signs in Hindustanee and "with care" in English, and half a dozen vessels resembling Aug canteens placed in two zinc tanks and requiring, forr men each to carry them. Theso con tained the sacred water of the Ganges. The removal of the family god was the occasion of a religious ceremony. The high prie.t in full vsvtmenta and jewelry walked tn front muttering pray ers, while four Hindoos carried the case which was placed below and surrounded by a personal .escort. . The secular baggage included a trang medley of articles purchased in Lo.ndon, such as several of the most modern rifle, silver-plated harness, a .tricycle, a num ber of children's mechanical toys, like a horse bicycle, a clockwork engine an4 jumping jacks. , While the entire twite of 150 swarmed on the deck in handling the bargain, they chanted a song describing thir's cordial reception and how they improved their physical health during the visit. The mahaTajah's devotion to bis family god wag responsible for a pecuitar rror cfli the part of several notde lad' In London who wished to detain him. The mahara jab's cards were engraved in Hin dustanee characters and many Invita tions which were sent to him couched in the third person and addressed to h! rCKidenre. received no acknowledgment. -although his name was copied with care ful accuracy, subsequently tt was as certained that the maharajah's piety was sirch that the family god occupied the place of honor on fcis visting cTds and ' his own was placed below U. Conse quently the Invitations were mdo to the god, who' apparently did not deign to notice such trivial things. Fata! Shooting Lumber-ben, N. C, Aog. 23. -Special. In a fracas between Enoch.
