been the pride of the State for these

defunct company and take over the bust

principal merchants have Spurned the
idea.
At the last meeting this committee,
which set out to raise $500 to wipe out the
debt. was nearly discouraged. but they
decided to try again and after much per-
suasion the Waterville & Fairfield and
the Lewiston, Augusta & WatervilIe Rail

this with the amount collected nearly
makes the full amount.
The meeting held Monday was called
by Pres. Martin +. Bartlett. The first
business was the report of the committee
Of which w 7. Eiaines was chairman.
Mr. iiaineS reported that conditions were
greatly improved and the collections had
been increased about $500. All the prin-

Depots in New York City.

New York. Jan. 23--Amid the ef-
fervescing champagne signs. blazing
automobiles and other clever electric
devices, appeals To Save the babies
will fash on Broadway this week In
spreading its appeal to the middle and
wealthy classes for Il 100000 fund
annually to provide 60 milk depots for
infants. the committee for the reduc-
ton of infant mortality will employ
this week almost every device used in
exploiting popular article. More
than 10000 letters will be sent out
Monday and on their heels will follow
paid advertisements in every New
York newspaper, in the theatre pro-
grams. on bin boards, in the subway
and elevated and by electric light.
Plans which We're announced Sunday

and most systematic ever taken. The
death rate among babies of the poor

I Fair Association had written to Mr..
Buckley, State commissioner of agricul-
ture asking him that he recommend that
the fair in Lewiston be called the state
fair" DR.. Abbott favored the appoint
ment Of committee to have charge OF
legislation until the new company be
formed. and that the committee be en-
powered to attend hearing that Mr..
Buckley has called for Feb. /. Placing
the Lewiston fair in charge of the State
would kill the Watervile fair in meas
ure. as it would take away the annual
stipend. The members present thought
that this was important aud a committee
of NJ. F.. Bartlett, W. T. Hanes and II.
r. Dunham was appointed
w T. Haines then moved an amend
ment to the order OF the Fair Association
regarding the assumption of the life
members, reading They to assume the
life membership as provided for in the
terms of the subscriptions Of the Central
Maine Fair Co. which will turn over to
the Central Maine Fair Association not
exceeding $500.
After considerable debating among
some present who did not favor the con-
motion was carried, Mr. Haines stated
that the life members had had plenty of
opportunity to show their interest, but
only a few of them had and many others
We're non-committal.
The condition imposed by the new com
pany when securing the subscriptions
was that il a life member should take
four shares at so per share he would be
allowed credit for the original SO the
price of his membership ticket, and that
he would be given a ticket for five years.
If member shnuld buy TWO shares he
would be given a ticket for five years II
n member should buy only one share he
would be given one life ticket. Some
did not understand the matter and others
were opposed from the start and this
alone has been one of the chief troubles
Of the new company.
But this does not mean thar the life
members will he thrown out. as the mat
ter will be up to the new company which
may decide to retain all Of them. This
new company will hold a meeting on

bought votes to elect Sheriff John T..
Shepard and his subsequent denial of
such an alleged confession. Attorney
General Jones today issued an official

therein:
The newspaper stories. conc erning
an alleged confession, purporting to
