THANKSGIVING BALL
Given by Cushnoc Hose Largely At
tended and Great Success.

The members of Cushnoc Hose, No. 1.
are to be congratulated on the splendid
success of the Thanksgiving ball which
they gave at City hall, last night The
ball opened with concert by Careys
full orchestra, at o'clock, and the con-
cert continued until 9, when the floor
was cleared for the grand march. Chief
Kicker led off with Mrs. Kicker or his
arm and everybody agreed that Au-
gusta's chief fire fighter was all right
The crowd was immense and the
numbers were hard to estimate. At any
rate, the ticket taker had about 1926
tickets which he had taken from men
only, ladies being admitted free, and
there seemed to be no lack of partners
for the gentlemen present, so the crowd
must have numbered fully 900. Not
nearly all could dance at once, but the
grand march extended entirely around
the hall and the floor was full at every
dance while many sat in the gallery or
looked on from the sides.
There We're visiting firemen and other
people from Waterville, Winthrop, Hal
lowell and Gardiner. and as all firemen
were in uniform, they made brave
show. The crowd was clean and order
ly and everybody seemed to be enjoy
ing the affair thoroughly. Refresh
ments We're served in the hall, during
the intermission. Chief Kicker was
floor director and the aids were ]. b.

HAPPY MOORE
Is Free After IS Years in the
State Prison.
Pardon and Release Papers Presented
at Thomaston by Counsel.
Twice Attempted Eseape-Had Lived
Under Assumed Name.

Thomaston, Me-, Nov. 25-Charles
Moore, aged AZ, pardoned by the Gov
ernor and Council, last night, after
serving Is years of a 25-years SEN
tence in State prison for breaking and
entering and two assaults with intent
to kill on Police Officer Willard F..
Firth at Portland was nearly success
full twice during his imprisonment in
escaping from the prison walls. The
second time only a lack of rope and
approaching daylight prevented his de-
parture.
Nine years ago he made dress, con-
sisting of sack, shirt and hat, intend
ing to leave with the annual excursion
Earty in female attire, but the dress
was found before he had an oppor-
tunity to attempt his bold plan. The
dress was made entirely from pieces
CT flannel takea, from the harness
loom. o..
Two years ago the officers We're GER
tain he had escaped until one of them
realized he could not have reached the
ground from the end of a rope found
hanging from a. chapel window and
ConcluGc he must be hiding within
the buildings. He was not found, how
ever, until late in the day, when he
crawled from beneath the chapel plat
form on which Deputy Wood was sit
ting and surrendered. He had escaped
from his cell by filing away the bars
and substituting wooden bars which
We're pronounced clever limitations.
Then he gained an entrance to the
chapel and filed out the bars of a win
dow, only to find his rope too short to
carry him safely to the ground.
Moore when informed today, Of his
pardon, was much gratified. He has no
plans for the future, but says he will
go direct to New York. with cx-Cor-
oner Jacob A. Bash Of that city, who.
last night, pleaded in his behalf before
the Governor and Council.
When asked if he would stop at Port
land, the scene of his arrest and con-
viotion. Moore replied, mo, of course
1 am not going to stop off there. l
have no friends in Portland
Owing to his attempts to escape he
would have had to serve his full term
He has become quite proficient as a
harness maker. During his childhood,
he was blind three years and fears he
may lose his sight, his eyes having
caused him much trouble recently.
The pardon papers We're brought here
at noon, by Senator Staples, counsel
for Moore. Accompanied by Mr.. Bash,
Moore left at 1.50 for New York.
Just before leaving Thomaston,
Moore announced that his real name is
Frank Lawrence. and he has a father
and sister living in Brooklyn, N. Y,
who for Is years or since his arrest and
conviction have believed him dead. He
refused to give their names, but stated
that his father was 81 years old. They
will not know their error until he is
presented to them by Mr.. Bash, tomor-
row noon. Moore, or Lawrence, will
enter the employ of Mr.. Bash, next
Monday.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 25.-The vot-
ers of this city have before them a
most unusual political situation. The
results of the primaries as announced,

McNamee was renominated for third
term by the Democratic party and that
Augustine ]. Daley, who is Demo-
crat in state and national affairs, was
placed in nomination by the non-par-
tisan party. The supporters of Mr..
Daley claim that their nomination of a
Democrat will mean that Mayor Nc
Namee's vote at the hands OF the Dem
ocrats will be largely reduced from last
year.
The non-partisan had only 10 alder
manic candidates in the field, while 90
names Were on the Democratic ballot
There were number of bitter contests
among the Democrats. The noE-par-
tisans nominated two of the present
board and the Democrats four. The
primary vote was light, $500 ballots be-
ing cast.

NO TRUTH IN RUMOR
That the White Star Line Steamer
Cedric Has Been Lost.

Liverpool, Nov. Pa rumor was
circulated in this city, on Sunday last,
to the effect that the White Star Line
steamer Cedric had been sunk in mid
ocean, in collision with the Lamport
and Holt steamer Titan. AS careful
investigation showed that the report
could not be traced to any responsible
source little heed was paid to it.
The Titan arrived in due course and
on time off the Irish coast, yesterday.
She was reported at Kinsdale Head,
and gave no signal to indicate any i'm
portant experience during her voyage.
This morning, she arrived in the Mer-
sey and is now going through the Man.
chester canal, to Manchester, her des-
tination. Her owners, as well as the
White Star people, all ridicule the story
of the rumored collision.
The Lamport and Holt steamship
people denounce the reported collision
and sinking of the steamship Cedric
as pure invention of an irresponsible
news agent.
New York. Nov. 25.-The White Star
Line agents in this city report that
they have no information of any mis-
hap to the Cedric, and she is expected
to arrive, tomorrow. The Cedric sailed
from Liverpool, Wednesday, with 29O
first-class. 100 second-class, and $40
Storage passengers.
