UNDER ARREST.
Women Who Victimlzed Aug usta Mer-
chants in Tolls at Lewiston.
Part Of Stolen Goods Recovered and Womer
Promise to Settle.

Mrs. 7. +. Morse and the Misses
Cummings are under arrest at Lewis
ton, charged with obtaining goods
under false pretcnces. They admit their
guilt, and promise to make good the
losses incurred by Augusta merchants.
These are the women who Nictimized
several Augusta people
The arrest was brought about Satur-
day morning by telephone message
received by City Marshal Morse from
City Marshal Teel of Lewiston. saying
that he thought the women were in
Lewiston. and that he could place them
in the tolls at any time So Oh the next
train r. w. Soule, one of the mer-
chants victimized, left on the
next train for the Spindle
City. and identified the women as the
ones who had done shady things in
Augusta. They were at once placed
under arrest.
The women confessed their guilt and
returned part of the goods which they
had obtained. Mr. Soule succeeded in
getting back part of his property. as
did an Augusta dry goods man The
parties took their arrest very much at
heart and said that the lack of money
drove them to desperation. 1t seems
that after their departure from Au-
gusta, they went to Auburn a few days
after moving to Lewiston.
AS the women say they Gan raise
sufficient funds to pay all the bills, they
will remain in Lewiston few days. or
until the necessary amount OF collater-
al is raised. The merchants do not feel
like pushing the case, provided pay
ment for their goods are received, or
they are returned An Augusta den
fist pulled the teeth of one of the
women, and it is wondered Of he will
get the teeth back or the money to
pay for them.
Should settlement not be made in o
few days, the parties will bd brought
to this city and made to suffer for the
consequences Of their misdemf anors

Cony's ''lightness," but, nevertheless.
the boys from Waterville High fairly
outplayed Cony. 1t was an interest
ing game The Watervilles showed a
superior team work back Of the line.
Her backs were strong runners and
showed good, clean line backing; but
| around the end her success was not so
good.
James and Lavine backed the line for
long gains, while Roderick made the
first half. Capt. James was the life of
the Waterville team and did the most
work.
For Cony Captain Scribner played
the pluckiest game. refusing to leave
the field. although repeatedly injured.
Butterfield took Nash's place in the
second half and for new man did
good work. Barrows' work in break
ing up center plays was fine and the
tacllling of Pratt and Parsons was of
IA high order
Waterville won the toss and chose
for Ccny to the 10-yards line James
caught the ball and advanced Is yards
before he was downed. Steady gains
by James and Lavine yielded touch
down in just nine minutes of play On
the kickoff James again caught and
advanced the ball and another touch
down was made in the same manner
as the first in five minutes of play.
James kicked both goals Score, 1910.
The half ended with the ball on Cony'.;
20-yards line.
The second half was a repetition of
few short gains by Scribner and Crit
fifth, Waterville secured the ball on
downs and a touchdown in seven min
utes of play. No goal. Score. 1910.
In six minutes more Waterville Sc
cured her last touchdown; making long
gains through Cony's tackles by mass
play, bringing her two guards to the
same side of the line and forming a
wedge.
The game closed with Waterville in
possession of the ball in the center OF
the field

Somebody. of course, is responsible for the
building of an enormously expensive dry
dock at Port Royal S. c. and that some-
body-Whether lie be official or politician
ought to go into secusion and take I'D per
nanent residence therein. A nation with n
navy must have dry-docks. but those docks
might as Well be non-eXistent as be So To-
Gated as 20 be practically valueless for the
docking of battleships. What an absurd
thing II Is to build docks in harbor where
bars and tides continually interfere with
docking Plans. Who can excuse such an
extravaganza of folly? Suppose it was es-
sentlal to our national safety that the In
diana should be docked, repaired and put
to sea within forty-eight hours would the
American people listen with patience to
stories of delays caused by low water on
the bar and insufficient depth of water over
the dock-sills? Or would an enemy post
pone combat until the tide ard wind served
together to make the docking possible ?
Surely the conditions at Port Royal We're
studied before it was decided to put the
dock there. or was it intended to use the
dock only for revenue-cutters or nayy-yard
tugs and stean,-launckes? With thousands
of miles of coastlire and deep water har-
bors galore there could not have been any
other than a political reason for wasting
money at Port Royal

In the history Of Kentucky are several
occurrences of which Kentucky is or should
be ashamed. Others of the sovereign states
Of the Union are similarly circumstanced
SO 1t is well to be careful before pointing
the finger Of scorn. But it does not now
appear that legislative conditions have
been as disgraceful anywhere else, for
some years at least, as they have recently
been and still are in Kentucky 1t Is not
difficult to understand how the friction
of practical politics generates warmth that
at times becomes excessive. but how men
of state and national repute can permit
leveled at the state lawmakers is an un-
solved puzzle. For several days the Ken
lucky legislature has been apparently help
less in the grasp of a group of thugs
and professional brawlers The civil forces
of the state have been either unable or
unwilling to crush the miniature rebellion
therefore Governor Bradley has ordered
out state troops in such numbers as make
1t reasonably certain that further inter-
ference with the legislature will be impos-
sible. The situation is wholly discredita5le
That troops should occasionally have to
take the field against lawless people is not
surprising, even in this land of the free
tut 1t is astonishing that the militia should
ever be called upon to quell a disturbance
arising from the intimidation of a state
legislature by outside bruisers. Small Won

boaSted civilization
