Validity of Acts of
Judge W. C. Atkins.

The validity of the acts of Judge
Will c. Atkins of the Gardiner mu-
nicipal court was re-established before
Judge Became at the last hearing be-
fore the April term of the Kennebec
superior court, Saturday afternoon. II
had been contended that when. by
legislative act, March %, 1911, in
creased powers had been granted the
Gardiner court the old municipal court
had been abolished and that, as no
provision had been made for d sue
cessor for the then presiding officer.
Judge Atkins was thus automatically
removed from office. Judge Beane's
ruling was to the contrary.
This question arose in the case Of
Mrs. Ida J.. Groton, defendant before
Judge Atkins acting as disclosure
commissioner, a writ OF caplas being
issued against her when she ignored
d summons to appear in court. The
hearing was brought before Judge
Beaae on a writ of habeas corpus
sought by Mrs. Groton's attorney, Hen
~ l.. Sawyer of Gardiner. her broth
er. In rescue her from the custody 81
the Gardiner officers Mir. Sawyer de-
clared that the approval Of Chapter
2t7 OF the Laws of 1911 did away with
the court established in 1919 and
amended in 1899, and placed Atkins as
judge de facto" and not de jure,
averring that absence of action by the
Governor and Council was explained by
their lack OF knowledge of the stua-
ton.
AttorneE Charles q. Keene Of Port
land. counsel for the plaintiff in the
case responsible for Saturdays hear
ing, stated that the intention of the
Legislature was plainly to retain the
judge in office, charging the duties
and creating new powers.
The habeas corpus was dismissed
and the capias sustained.

A Safe Way to Clean Hair Brushes

To clean hair brushes without injury,
have ready two basins, one three-fourths

at once rinse well in cold water and
stand the brush TO dry in the air or in
a warm place, but not too near the fire,
OF course the back of the brush must
not be wet
Good hair brushes are costly, but ii
properly cared for they will last for
years.
