tending herself, as they say the State
did not have any case. When you
open the door for one man who has
been prosecuted for crime to recover
from the State for his losses and for
his attorneys fees, you must open ii
to all and give them equal rights. In
the first place there is no equity in
this case, and in the second place /
do not believe this Legislature should
open the door | refused to open ii
in Reyes case; / refused to opeA it
in the Burns case. and | refuse to open
it for any man who has been prose-
cuted for crime against the State.
Mr.. MURPHY of Cumberland: Mr..
President, I would like to inquire
through the Chair of the Senator from
Somerset if it Is not fact that this
bill was before the Legislature or I
similar one two years ago.
The PRESIDENT: The senator adj
dresses an inquiry to the senator from
Somerset through the Chair
Mr. COLBY: Mr.. President, | will
state that it is the same matter, as I
understand it. that was before the
Legislature, two years ago, and il was
referred to this Legislature. No ac-
ton was taken. two years ago. As
the senator from Aroostook says, it
was rejected in our committee and
came up again for action.
Mr., DUTTON: Mr. President,
would like to add one more observa-
ton in this matter The senator from
Aroostook raised the question whether
he is more prejudieed than am in this
matter.
Mr.. HERSEY; No, Mr. President, |
did not raise that question.
Mr.. BUTTON Mr. President, if
am correct, as matter of fact, this
claim two years ago was before the
committee on claims. Now it seems
from the statement of the senator from
Aroostoall that he and his committee
held a deliberate session upon this
claim and decided it ought not to
pass That decision must have been
entirely extra judicial and ultra wires.
and if | had known that they had rem
defed any such decision at that time,
| should have brought a writ of pro-
hihition to forbid them from promuI-
eating any such decision upon IA mat

vi W l-N'i VI II dlJhtiH. AtE+ i'Ni-
dent, desire to briefly call the atteu-
ton of the Senate to this point: Does
the State of Maine owe Michael Burns
anything? Now, if it does, We ought
to give him permission To sue the
State. We ought to pay. And it is
not urged that there is any legal claim
against the State. Now if there is any
claim. il must be a moral or equitable
claim. Now. does the State equitable
owe him anything In equity pro-
ceedings it is Il fundamental principle
that the plaintiff must come to court
with clean hands. Does Michael Burns
come within the rule? Does he come
to this Legislature with clean hands :?
The State of Maine through its rep
resentatives had passed law pro-
hibiting the sale of intoxicating Ii
quors, and Michael Burns attempted
to evade' that law and his property

islature, this same matter was before
a committee and was carefully consid-

as we decided before that he ought not

he Should have the right to sue the
State of Maine. That was talked over
both times in committee, whether we
should report such n matter as that
from the commttee. giving him the
right to sue the State of Maine
S Now the senator from Kennebec has
said, that there are two or three in
stances IN this State where the Legis-
nature has granted an individual the
right to sue the State of Maine. They
never haye granted that right in a
criminal case. 1T has always been
garanted in civil matters. where in land
titles or 4 mistake in payment of mon
ley, or the payment of taxes where they
had no right to pay them, the party
las been given the right to sue the
State and recover it back, but never
etin the history Of this state has a man
accused of crime before Il court, and
sseyen. if he succeeded in proving by a
feshnfcality that he was not guilty be-
fore thesla he never has been granted
the right to sue the State.

Dave WAKEFIELD
DOES NOT USE
MAKEUP NOW

David Warfeld, the famous actor,
writes an article telling the story Of
his Development on the stage. IN the
early part Of HIS story he tells how IN
one of his early parts the part Of
Meter Moss IN The Ticket Of Leave
Man he had an experience which
made him ayerse to making up Tor
q part:
Il guess my performance was pretty
bad. know my spirits we're down 70
zero. had no idea OF the character Of
Moss but, as he was jew, supposed
he mnst necessarily have an exagger-
ated nose. Instead Of the regular
makeup putty got some Of the stuff
from glazier and put II on my nose:
For time It did very well, but pres.
entity the warmth Of my flesh and
graFitati0n caused It to elongate be-
yohd my widest dreams Of what even
Jews nose should be. Every few
seconds crowded SC back, which gave
ii Dubious, bell or pear shape L
Wobbled and threatened to drop OF.
and its q miracle to this day that Il
stuck fast at all When grabbed It
my fingers left deep ridges II It. and
1t began to spread, changing its gro
fesaue shape with every squeeze.
Even now dread to think what would
have happened il I'd sneezed and
blown the thing to atoms. That nose
threw me into q panic. inWardly
prayed that the show would wind up,
and it did In q week
MY experience with the nose was
most distressing, and suggested to me
even at that early stage Of my career
the absurdIty Of much Of the practice
of making up. In q way, 1t influenced
me, for today never make up, IN the
Old sense. put on . little side Whis-
kers IN Peter Grimm to give charac-
ter, perhaps. That Is an. As & fact
the importance Of making up is much
exaggerated. We indicate age BY q
touch here and there; sternness or
geniality BY the proper lines. that is
all Some actors are flattered by be-
ing told that their makeup was so
artistic the audience didn't recognize
them the actors But 1t wasn't ar
tistic. We don't know q face by any
one feature, but by combination OF
features We ali have noses, eyes and
mouths. more or less alike. But the
combination will not be repeated alb
soiutely among the 6,00O, O00, 900 that
people the earth. So, to change one
feature throws the whole continuation
out. DISCUSSES it Therefore, claim
that any man may disguise himself by
q great nose or false mustac1e with
out proper claim to being artistic. Z
