GUS Suit To Recover Shortage of $4,000.

Auburn, Me-, Sept. 1.-THE Hon. A.
NJ. Spear of the supreme court. yester-
day, gave out his report as referee in
the famous suit of the Mechanic Falls
cemetery vs.. o. B. Dwinall. He gives

counts OF Treasurer 0. B. Dwinall. The
association voted to give Mr.. Dwinall
$500 for his services covering q period
OF &c years.
AL subsequent meet a vote was TAX
Ell TO rescind this vote. One of the
points Tor the court to determine was
Wnetner the association legally gave
Mr.. D~lnall $25O0 for services rem
dered, and another was whether the
ASSOCIATION was entitled to interest on
its funds as held by Mr.. Dwinall when
treasurer. and used by him.
The defence to the claim was that
when the assignment was made the as
sociation represented his claim at $4,000
ana that to increase 1t would decrease
the dept one-quarter. depriving the
other creditors of what they under
stood TO be due them. 1t was also
claimed that it was the desire of the
association that Mr. Dwinnll Should be
given $4,000 for his services.
AT ire hearing IL was denied that Mr..
DWlnail was Il defauter, the books
showing that his accounts were
straight. and the directors SO testified.
The money which he owed the associa-
tion was covered by note or bond. Mr..
Dwinall is about 50 years old. He has
lived ut Mechanic Falls for over half

the party was caught In the mob and not
because the persons were Americans.
Other churches besides American church

anti-foreign feeling was responsible
Secretary Taft said that he had exam

cr Il crime has been committed or not
in the matter of accepting contribution

without saying"
