Lona Arm of Coincidence.

An amusing story from the sub
urbs concerns q householder who, a
few days ago, booked two stalls for
his wife and himself. but inadvertent-
ly invited another married couple TO
spend the same evening at his house.
When the mistake was discovered it
was decided to hand the tickets to
another friend rather than ask the ex-
pected guests to come on a subsequent
evening.
But the man to whom the tickets
We're given was called out of town,
and he in turn hurriedly handed them
over to near neighbor, suggesting
the latter should take his wife to the
play.
Now this is where the long arm of
comes in. The near neigh
Dor and his wife were then invited
guests of the purchaser Of the tickets.
They thought it would be a pity to
lose the chance of such a fine drama
tic treat, and, not knowing the real
origin of the tickets, they wrote a
note explaining the situation and used
the two stalls which their hosts had
meant for themSelves.-Gla News.

gest that the Constitution of Maine

Interpretation that they present.

to take into consideration under the
terms of the Constitution the business
affairs of those people up in Ear Har-
ber. They have been here, year after
year and year after year, with their
troubles and we have born with them.

PutsFnstW Witness onSiand
In the KohIer Case.
Samuel D. SheaTer Tells Story
OF Events Of Feb. Z and June5.
Physician Tcstifies Treating kohIer
On Dates Mentioned by Shearer.

Cleveland. Ohio. March 12.-Samuet
D. Sehearer, former husband of the
woman with whom it is charged CHIEF
of Police Fred Kehler was guilty of
immoral conduct, today, told the Civil
Service Commission his version of the
occurrences at the Schearer home
which constitute the basis for the
charges against the police chief
The prosecution then rested, and
DIR. Maurice Budwig, first witness for
the defence, stated that he had pre-
seribed for Kohler while the chief was
at home in bed, on Feb. 2, 1912, the
date of his first alleged visit to the
Schearer home
On the night of June 5, 1912, Schear--
er said he smashed a window iD his
home after ringing the door bell for
several minutes, and going through
the house, found Kohler hidden be-
hind the ice box in the kitchen.
You've got met Kehler exclaimed.
according to Schearer. NOW what
are you going to do with me?"
Then they went upstairs to where
Mrs Schearer was found. Schearer
described kohler and his wife as be-
ing in Scanty attire"
Schearer insisted that his wife must
go away that night and said he asked
kohler to provide place for her to
stay. Sam, you wouldn't put me out
of the house, tonight?" the witness
said his wife pleaded. 49,
Clayton p. Benjamin.. friend of
Schearer. was then called to identify
Kohler and Mrs. Schearer the witness
said. Finally, Mrs. Schearer left the
house, Schearer said, and during the
conversation which followed. the witt
ness said, kohler asked that the story
be Kept from his wife.
Il said: You can rest assured that
she will never learn about this from
me. Schearer said. Il thought it
was the only sensible thing he had
said during that evening
Regarding Benjamin's testimony
given, yesterday, Sehearer said he did
not remember that his wife had said
she was to blame for having invited
Kohler there that evening. He adj
mitted that Ko<hler had said he had
come there that evening in the ex-
peetauon of meeting other parties.
Members of the commission exam
ined DIR. Budwig's daybook memoran-
dunn of his visit to Chief koliler, on
Feb. ?, and City Solicitor Wilcox de-
elared that the name Fired Kohler''
seemed to him to be written over an
erasure. After questioning DIR. Bud
wag concerning his visits to other pa
tents on that day. the hearing was
adjourned until tomorrow afternoon.
In statement issued, tonight, Chief
kohler outlines what probably will be
the line of his defence against the
