Waste OF Time And Money
To Try To Signal To Wars.

Cincinnati, o., May 10. AN this
talk about signaling TO Mars or even
the suggestion that Mars may be in
habited by intelligent beings, is pure
nonsense in my opinion, said Jermain
G.. Porter. director Of the Cincinnati
Observatory and Professor Of Astrono-
my at Cincinnati University.
There is no basis whstever for be-
lieving that any signals can be sent
from or 60 the planet or that there is
anyone there 10 send or receive them.
Personally. do not think il possible
that life can exist on Mars. In the
first place. the temperature is extreme
ly cold. far below anything we know Of
on earth. Then the air is very rare
much rarer than on the peaks of the
loftiest mountain we know anything
about. A third great objection to the
theory that Mars is inhabited is the
fact that we have no evidence that
there is any water whateeer on the
planet.

Justice Peabody Decides
Sentence Is Illegal
In Case Of Man Given SOL
Days for Illegal Sale
Of Liquor at Topsham Fair...30
Days Maximum Sentence.

Portland, Me-, Oct. 32.-Justice Pea
body of the Maine supreme bench rem
dered an important decision TODAY in
the case of Thomas j. Lynch, who was
found guilty of selling liquor on the
fair grounds at TOpsham last week.
Lynch, whose home is in Lynn,
Mass, was taken before Trail Justice
Lewis M. Fulton of Bowdoinham and
being found guilty, was ordered to
pay a fine of $50 and to serve 60 days
in jail.
Through his counsel, James J. Con-
way, Lynch alleged that his sentence
was illegal, in that the penalty i'm
posed upon MIN was greater than pro-
vided for IN the statutes Of Maine,
which makes the maximum sentence
for a single sale of liquor $50 and costs
and 30 days in Jail.
After examining the commitment pa
per and listening to the argument of
Attorney COnnellal, Justice Peabody
ordered Lynch discharged from Gus
tody on the ground that under the nit
timuS he was illegally imprisoned for
the sentence imposed was in "eXcess
of the punishment prescribed by stat
ute for the offence with which the
prisoner was found guilty, to wit, the
offence of a single sale of intoxicating
liquors to one George w. Fowler"
The sentence imposed was a fine of
$50 and costs OF $4.7S and imprison-
ment in Album Jail for 60 days. The
sentence prescribed by statute for this
offence is $50 and costs and 80 days in
jail.
After consideration it is adjudged
that the said Thomas J. lynch is il
legally imprisoned by the sheriff Of
Androscoggin, as jailer of Androscog-
gin county jail and accordingly he is
hereby discharged.
Attorneys say that the case decided
by Justice Peabody is one of the first
of it's kind to come up in Maine, for
it rarely happens that when a re-
spondent admits his guilt of the Of
fence with which he is charged, that
he is released because the sentence
imposed upon him is greater than pro-
vided for by the statutes.

At Fall Of the Maura
Regime in Spain.
Policy Of the Government Will
Be Reversed al Once.
AIfonzo Is Known to Regret the
Execution of Ferrer.

Madrid, oct. 22.-The fall of Premier
Maura and the Conservative cabinet
has produced feeling of relief and en-
courages the hope that period of in
ternal tranquility has been ushered in.
1t is now an open secret that Maura :
refusal to give King Alfonso an oppor-
tunity to pardon Ferrer is regretted by
His Majesty.
In an interview Friday Senior Moret
Prcrdergast, premier of the new Lib
eral cabinet, explained that because OF
recent personal bereavements, he hav-
ing lost by death his wife, his son and
o daughter, and the fact of his advanc-
ing years, he had not wished to as
sumo power. Nevertheless, the unfor-
tunate situation at home and the dis
trust of the Spanish government as
manifested abroad had convinced him
that it was his patriotic duty to accept
tile leadership. He declared that the
Liberal government would exactly re-
verse the policy of Maura and maintain
social order but with due respect for
the law.
Most of the Republican senators and
deputies express themselves as salts
fled with the latest turn of events. par
ticularly as they believe that it marks
the end of clerical influence with the
government. One of these said Friday:
I 1.-The new cabinet contains eleme nts
openly anti-cerical and thus II be-
comes possible to establish an anti
clerical policy so necessary to Spain
| However, radical members of the
Cortes, like Deputy SerianG, who is al
so editor of Espana Nueva. announces
an intention to fight the new ministry
because of it's alleged monarchicai ten
dency They predict a series of swift
changes bringing about situation
| like that which began with the insur-
rection in the fleet of 1868 and culmi-
mated in 1873 with the abdication OF
| King Amadeus and the establishment
of a shOrt-lved r"nublic.
The Liberal '9""rS Friday rejoice
over what they t. the end of the ty-
| rannical rule of T. IRA. The FL Pals,

prompt conclusion "to avoid the ruin
Of the country" 1t also demands the
