gard TO the pardon, which it is reported
Samuel ID. Haynes is to ask for
Haynes is, undoubtedly the most Wild
~ known convict in the State prison.
The crime for which Haynes is serving
a life sentence was the murder of
James p. Robbins of the RocklanI po-
lice force. Haynes had been arrested
FOR several burglaries and was in the
police station guarded by Robbins.
The prisoner was guarded very care
l"Ssly and, with the intention of MAX
ing his escape, Haynes struck the
patrolman on the head with poker
merely stun the officer. He eluded
pursuit a week, but was finally cap
tured on an island at the muZZle Of n
gun. Il was convicted of murder in
the first degree and promptly commit
ted.
He attempted to escape from prison
by throwing ammonia in the eyes of
The guard, but was shot, almost fatally
by Ira Northcy. Since then he mas
been carefully watched. but has proved
a model prisoner.
Haynes was converted to the Roman
Catholic faith some years ago. He is
an expert mechanic and souvenirs of
his make are scattered all over the
United States.
Haynes has been suspected of having
| murdered William Elliott in Valley
avenue. Bangor, about % years ago.
| He WAS in that city at the time, and
disappeared suddenly. A well known
former police officer of Bangor, who
has had much experience in detective
| work, has always believed that Haynes
| either committed the Elliott murder
| or knew who did.

81 observe that Judge Chase de-
clined to serve on that commission ap-
pointed for the purpose OF investlgat-
ing the ACCESSIBILITY of moving the
Cartel of Maine from Augusta, re-
marked we'll known State House
official to another, on Thursday morn
ing. Yes" SAID the second, suppose
that war game down at Portland last
week had anything to do with 1t
"Wouldnt be at all surprised II 1t
did for the main idea of the whole
scheme is to move the Capitol to Port
land'
That's right"
But / rather doubt if it is ever
done" remarked the first. From all
that 1 can make out of what l read
about this war game, the city of
Portland had a narrow escape from be-
ing captured by the navy. Had it
been actual warfare there seems to be
little doubt that it would have been
captured, or battered by lombard
ment."
Nov, to start with, Portland was
originally the capital of the State. The
first Legislature was held in the court
house of that city. But in 1892 the
capital was changed to this city, the
Legislature having passed an act on
Feb. "a, 1927, establishing the perma-
nent seat of government for the State
in Augusta. Though this act was
passed in 1927, the sessions of the Legis-
lature continued to be held in Portland
until the completion of the present
State House, 50 that the actual change
to this city did not come until 1892.
THE reason which prompted the
Legislature to change the seat of the
Capitol from Portland to Augusta, was
the fact that Portland had been re-
peatedly i'll the hands of the enemy, in
time of war, and they felt that it
would be safer to have the Capitol
here. In face of the showing, as ]
contend the war game did, the ease
with. which the city could be taken, it
scarcely follows that the Legislature
will have any desire to move back to
the old Capitol city,

Paint and feathers are not the only
characteristics Of the Indian. In his
natural state he has many of the finer
qualities of the white man and few of
his vices. His life now is simply a
struggle for existence against great
odds. With the ambition and glory Of
the war path and chase suppressed. his
interests are narrowed to few things.
His stoicism, bravery and cunning have
little opportunity for display or ap-
plause. His talk is Of the glories Of the
past and the pressing needs of himself
and family. He has a humorous as
we'll as serious side. On many of the
reservations freight rates are high
while the traders have to carry large
book accounts over the year. making
necessaries of life expensive. Chief
Running Rabbit was asked last year
how he was getting along and If there
was any smallpox on the reservation.

"No, we haven't any smallpox now.
