MOVING PICTURES.
HEARING on Petitions for Licenses at
O'Clock This Evening.

The hearing on the petitions of two
moving picture proprietors for licenses
10 opcrate in Gardiner will be held this
evening, and the opening of this. the
second chapter in what has come to be
called Gardeners moving picture war,
is awaited with interest. 1t could not
be learned, last evening, whether or
not any Of the parties interested would
be represented by counsel, but at any
rate it is believed that the hearing Will
be lively one, whether or not legal
talent is drawn into the conflict. Cen
orally speaking, the status of the case
is about as follows:
At the last regular meeting of the
Gardiner city government, the Coliseum
petitioned for a license to run a NOV
ing picture and vaudeville show and TO
do a general entertainment business.
That petition was promptly granted
by the mayor and aldermen, sitting as
municipal officers. Then 1T was voted
to instruct the city marshal to notify
the other moving picture show proprle-
tors running without licenses that they
must either close or present petitions
on or before Jan. 49, and the city faith
ers made no promises as to whether
or not these petitions would be granted
after being presented.
Promptly the next morning, the man
agements of the johnson Opera house
and the Gem theater presented their
petitions but the management OF the
Happy Half Hour has not yet presented
It's -etitiou. While the inference would
be that Mr. MundCe of the Happy Half
Hour does not intend to continue, yet
in fairness it should be said that not
until the close of tonights hearing
should any kind of a forecast be made
as to tho future of any one of the NOV
| ing picture places in Gardiner The
hearing will be held at o'clock T. M.

London, Jan. 18.-Just as England
was the first to have Dreadnaught

division Of the home fleet. the first line
Of defence against possible attack
from across the North sea. that feet In
the word Of a British admiral became
"A combination of strength and homo.
gently unequalled, ship for ship in the
worlds fleets"
A year ago the More division, which
is under the command of Vice Admiral
Sir Francis Bridgman. consisted Of the
Dreadnaught, which had hardly COM
pleted her trials, the Bulwark. London,
Magnificent, Majestic and Victorious.
During the year the new battleship
and the armored cruisers
Indomitable and Inflexible which are to
all purposes battleships replaced older
vessels and last week the Lord Nelson
relieved the Magnificent, leaving the
Victorious the only representative Of
the pre- Dreadnaught era in Admiral
Brdgman's command.
Before midsummer it is anticipated
the fleet will be further strengthened
by the Dreadnaught battleships Tenn
eracir, Bellerophon and Superb, per-
hitting of the armored cruisers being
drafted into the fifth cruiser squadron
which is affiliated with Admiral Bridg-
mans command.
The result will be that the More bat
tleship fleet will consist of for dread
naughts and two battleships of the
Lord Nelson class which nearly equal
Dreadnaughts, and the fifth cruiser
squadron will have three of the battle
ship cruisers, the Indomitable, Inf1exi-
BILE and Invincible and three Of the
Minotaur type, which are only year
older.

Cubans Will Soon Con-
troll Again Their Country.
New Government viii Take
Possession on Jan. 28.
II Is Believed Long Term Of Peace
Now Awaits the Island.

Havana, Jan. lion Jan. rs at noon
the Cuban people will come into their
own, for the second time at the hands
of the American government. 1t was on
May 80, 1902, that the American flag
hoisted after the war with Spain was
hauled down in favor of the blue-striped,
single-starred ensign of Cuba.
This republic, for which the Cubans
vainly fought Spain so many years, last
ed little more tnan the period between
Presidential elections in the United
States In September, 1906 a company
of marines landed at the palace from the
United States cruiser Denver and halted
a victorious revolutionary army on the
outskirts of Havana, and American in
tervention, which happened first against
foreign power, was once more fact,
this time to set things rights among the
CubanS themselves.
The Liberal party, which claims to be
the party of the common people, goes
into power as the result of an almost
unanimous vote, it's overwhelming sue
cess at the polls being one of the prin-
cipal foundations for the belief that Cuba
is about to enter upon period of long
content. Most Of the newspapers say
that the majority of the people are deeply
Illuminated that Intervention in the island
affairs became necessary and urge the
politicians of all parties to remember
the mistakes of the past and to do moth
ing that would make another and longer
intervention possible.
Major General Jose Miguel Gomez, SOL
der, statesman and veteran of the rev.
olution against Spain in 1898, the new
President, has magnanimously decreed
that although the Conservative party
vote in the recent election was almost
nothing that party shall have 80 per cent
of the appointive offices. The details of
the Inauguration of Gomez on Jan. rs are
vet incomplete Several warships from
America are expected to be in the harbor
and they undoubtedly will fire a nation
al salute, but neither United States sail
ors nor soldiers remaining on the island
will participate in the inaugural parade
because their presence might detract
from the pride of the people in the re-
turn of native sovereignty.
The headquarters army of pacification
have been at Camp Columbia. several
miles outside of Havana. This camp in
beauty of location, surroundings and IN
the permanence comfort and convenience
of the buildings, surpasses many posts
in the United States. 1t is now being
rapidly depopulated and soon will be the
haven of squatters. The last of the ma
rines, who have done fine work, Will
leave this week for home. The troops
will go out gradually until April l. when
the evacuation will be complete. save for
a permanent service at the American ma
val station at Guantanamo.
Few, if any, Cubans who served as
higher officials in the various govern
mental departments during the period of
American intervention, will be retained
by the incoming administration, which
will undoubtedly cause some confusion
at first.

Murder=SuiCide
Seems Probable.

Seattle, Wash, Jan. NV. L. Seeley,
all attorney aud former national bank
examiner. for Illinois, his wife, Kate
Seeler, a member of the Daughters OF
the American Revolution, and his
daughter, Miss Rene Seeley, student
at the University of Washington, were
found dead in bath room of their
home in the fashionable sCapital hill
quarter today.
The victims had been dead since last
Thursday. The women, clad in their
night clothes, We're apparently muir
dered with a hammer
There was no mark of violence on
Seeley. He is believed to have been
partly chloroformed and then drowned
in the bath tub. All three were kneel-
ing at the side of tie bath tub with
their heads submerged in the water.
A steamer trunk was on the bodies
of Seeley and his wife.
That Seeley killed his wife and
daughter, while insane over financial
worries and then committed suicide is
the theory Of the police. He was
clothed in his underwear, shoes and
trousers. His night gown, which was
bloodstained from the bodies of the
two women, was found beneath clean
pillow in the room occupied by his and
his wife The pillow on which Mrs.
Seeley had been sleeping was saturated
with blood.
Sc eley came here less than two years
ago from St Joscphs. Mo. He had lived
there two years and had moved there
from Ottawa, H., and had engaged in
~ l,aE hnn ~,
for the past 10 years He was SIS years
of age and his wife was three years his
senior while his daughter was - years
old.
The bodies were found by Guy NJ. Smell
zeer affianced husband of Miss Seeley.
and F. r. Seibbell, a friend of the family.
The family could not be communicated
with after 9 o'clock Thursday night,
when Smelzeer talked over the telephone
with Miss Seeley. Efforts to get into
communication with them after that time
were unsuccessful.
TIE only living thing on the premises
was a huge black cat, which was locked
in the basement and which since Friday
had been fed by the neighbors.
Although keeping up the appearance of
prosperity, Seeley had been forced to
borrow money for his least expenses. De-
tectives searched the house for weapons
with which the murder had been COM
mitted, but were unable to find any
blood-stained implements, although a
hammer was found in the place. No arti-
Gle of jewelry or anything of value was
taken from the house. Every window
and door was found to have been secure
" locked.

whom have done good work in prepara-

without experience. From this large
squad Instructor Thompson ought to he

will take it's share of the honors in the

A special class in fencing will be be-

Colby, but there are many who are
eager to take it up.
A very pleasant social function was
enjoyed Friday evening by the Glass
of 1911 at the Knights Of Columbus
hall. The affair was in the form of a
cotillion and was given by the young
ladies' of the class to the mems di-
vision in honor of their victory in the
Sophomore Freshmen baseball game
last fall.
The hall was well decorated with
1911 banners and much class spirit was
shown Refreshments We're served
during the evening, and the young
ladies did everything to make the even
ing enjoyable, and all pronounced the
event a great success.
The chaperones for the evening were

There is a rumor that a similar af-
fair will be given by the men of the
class in the near future.

COLBY COLLEGE.
Dramatic Club Holds First Rehearsal
Track Men to Begin Work.

The Colby Dramatic Club held it's
first rehearsal on Saturday in Chemi-
cal hall. The play to be given this
year is college Chums' by Anthony
Willis, and is equal in every respect
to Half Back Sandy" which the club
SO successfully presented two years
ago. The play is very true to college
life. and like Half Back Sandy" and
Strong Heart" which it strongly re-
sembles, the plot centers about a foo--
ball game. The last act has been en-
tirely remodled, making a very much
stronger ending to the play.
The cast of IL men was chosen from
about 80 contestants. This is certainly
a very good beginning for the club A
trip through Washington county is
planned as well as a trip to Portland
and Bangor.
The following is the cast: Franklin
Risley, Phi. D., Blance, 10; Wallace
Findlay, Guptill, '09; Frederick Won
Weber Bridges, III; Howard Thorne
Hammond, '09; Arthur Kingsburgi
Moor, 10; Paul Dinsmore, Rideout ~;
Clifford Paige, Kimball, 'O9; John Find
lay, Rogers, II; Alex. Nash, II; Mrs.
Dinsmore. Dow, 10; Grace Dinsmore,
Carroll, II; Tobey Sprage, Dolan, -.
The outlook is good for a much
stronger track team than Colby has
had for some time. A meeting was
held in the Gymnasium on Thursday
last at which a great interest was
manifested, and work will be begun IN
few days to start the men into train
ing for the events which they will en-
ter in the spring. There will be more
