THE CIVIC LEAGUE
Makes Move In Favor Of Retaining
kennebec Superior Court.

The influence of the Christian Civic
League has been brought to bear to
secure the defeat of the bill now pend
ing before the Maine Legislature to
abolish the Superior Court of kenne-
bee County. Saturday a large num-
Der of circular letters were sent out
from the office of the league in this
city to the kennebec constituency of
the organization. The circulars went
number of citizens, all of the circulars
having been addressed to voters.
In regard to the action of the league,
Rev. II. n. Pringle, associate secretry,
said, Saturday, to the representative
of the Kennebec Journal:
I'VE believe that the attempt to leg
isate Judge Hall out Of office had its
origin in the same element that is try
ing to bring about resubmission.
Apart from that considerat ton, how
ever, We believe that it is a part of
our work to cooperate with good Of
ficials, and to stand by them. The way
to get good government is to get good
citizens to render unWavering support
to officials that do their duty. Such
an official We believe Judge Hall to be-
and as such he is deserving of the sup
port of the League and good vitizens
generally. What we want to show, in
short, to the good officials Of Maine,
those who impartially enforce all the
laws of the State, is that the good cit

FOUND MURDERED
Police Investigating the Death Of Mrs.
John A. Kirkpatrick.

Pittsburg, Feb. 5.-The dead body OF
Mrs. John A. Kirkpatrick was found.
today, in the back yard Of an unoccu-
pied house in Allegheny, only short
distance from her horne. She had been
murdered, and the morgue physician.
tonight, stated that the woman had
been criminally assaulted. suspicion
rests on a man as yet unknown 10 the
police, but who evidently was an ac-
quaintance of the woman.
For the past several months, Mrs.
Kirkpatrick has been living at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Jessie Scott, on Jackson
street, with her husband and Is months
old baby. She was returning home from
the market about 10 o'clock, last night.
and left a street car near her home.
She was then seen talking to tall
man wearing a high hat and long over
coat, A few moments later she was evil
IDENTIFY dragged into Creighton alley,
where she was heard to eXclaim: Oh,
don't, I'll do anything you say" When
the body was discovered today it was
found that the woman had been choked
to death and traces ir the snow shOW-
ed that she had been dragged for Il
1ecI dlOiS tlt dllty W Tie SdEu Sdle
and thrown inside.
Mrs. Kirkpatrick's assailant is sup
posed to be some man who is an ac
uuaintance of hers, because during the
evening man answering the descrip-
ton of the one seen talking to her call
ed twice at the Scott house and asked
for Matte, tthe woman's first nance
and appeared to be an old friend.
The police have several suspects I'M
der surveillance and will probably
make arrests before r.orning.
Late tonight, the police arrested Norman
Geyser, a board marker in local broker
office, and are holding him on the charge
of murder Developments slow that dey
ser had been an admirer of Mrs hirhi"'-
rick for several years before her mar
riage and for a time was the cause OF an
estrangement between kirkpatrick anu
his wife The trouble had been talked
over and the couple We're living happiS
together but last week Mrs kirkpatrick
it is said, complained to her husband thai
Geyser was annoying her by following hei
on the streets and persisting in talking
to her.
When arrested. tonight. a bloodstain
was found on Geyser's overcoat sleeve
nd the knuckles of his right hand Were
cut. the abrasions being such, the ply
sicians say, as could be made by the
sharp edges of human teeth.
As it was found that several of the muir
dered woman's teeth had been knocked
out, the police believe they have captured
the right man.

CHARGE OF FORGERY
Wholesale Arrests in Connection With
a Chicago Franchise.

Chicago. Feb. 5.-AIhcrt G. Wheeler,
president OF the Illinois Tunnel Co. eX-
City Clerk William Loeftler and Assistant
City Clerk Edward W. Erhorn. were, Sat
urday indicted by the grand jury on n
charge of forgery in connection with the
franchise for the underground system in
this city.
Alderman Edward Novak and John Hig-
gins, printer. were indicted in the same
connection on charges of perjury as well
as forgery.
The charge of forgery is based on the
alleged changing of council report as
to the size of the tunnels. and the accuse
sions of perjury grew out of testimony
given at n preliminary hearing in jus
tees court some time ago. After the In
dictmentS were returned in court Levy
Mayer counsel for Mr. Wheeler. said:
This matter is five years old. AS the
result of Mr.. Wheeler's refusal Ia submit
to be blackmailed by a discharged attor
ney. he is indicted"
Mr.. Wheeler was the first of the accused
to come into court. He furnished bond
in $500 for his appearance, He said he i,
pleased that the indictments have been
made. as it presents an opportunity to
dispose of. once for all. charges that have
been tried several times and decided in his
favor. He will do everything possible to
have the case vigorously pushed. he said.

A FOND FAREWELL
Bidder Mr.. and Mrs. Clark Of Water
vile, Saturday Evening.

Last Thursday evening n party OF be-
tween 40 and 30 neighbors and friends of
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Clark gathered at
their home on the Oakland road for a so
cal farewell.
Ten years ago Mr. and Mrs. Clark NOV
ed from the city out onto the farm, and
during these years have made many
staunch friends who are very reluctant
to have them go
There was plenty of music and during
the evening delicious refreshments We're
served. A poem on the occasion was rean
by a. F. Rice. after which he presented
the couple with a beautiful bookcase and
desk. which shows the esteem in which
Mr.. and Mrs. Clark are held by their
neighhorS. 1t was a Very pleasant event
and one long to be remembered by all
present. Mr.. and Mrs. Clark have the
best wishes of all in their move.
The following is a copy of the poem:
Of passing years how swift the flight!
A decade full of mem rieS bright
Sine in our quiet, country life
We numbered Brother Clark and wife,
The stars peepcd forth with beaminS eyes
From out their home within the skies
And looked i'll love and golden light
On Natures gliStening robe of white,
While gentle ZephyrS through the air
IititHeu WtItolle 70 tie SpIlSntIy par.
Aweary with the city strife
They sought the ease of country life,
And brought along some boy TO try
Their mothers beans and pumpkin pie.
A pleasant home where smiled content,
And peace and plenty gIadness lent;
" lille merry voices helped to cheer
And render this a place most dear.
And Sister Clark did brew and bake
And fed them well on pies and cake.
Potatoes grew and SO did weeds.
Enough for all their wants and needs
The harvest came. and what rare fun
TO ather in till all was done,
he winters snow. the summers heat,
Has bathed their brow and chilled their
feet.
Q er all such blessing now. aIasl
We drop q tear and let them pass;
For now these friends, to us made dear
Will wander forth and leave us here.
We meet, tonight faithful few,
Reluctantly to bid adieu
To these our neighbors. whom we hold
In friendships chain of FURNISHED gold
The hook lies closed to all our minds
we IAN would turn and read the lines
OF yet another page in life
Which writes the joys of man and wife
We pause-for who can fathom sDace
Or gaze into the futures face?
Rut with our presence here. tonight,
With all SO joyous. fair and bright.
We bring fond wishes by the score
And add to these a thousand mcie
That in the future you may be
From every harmful trouble free.
When ere you think of Breezy HIP
Send back a bit of your good will.
1,nat we may live in mem ries' dream
We leave this token of esteem.
