Edward G. Riggs, executive assist
ant in charge of the publicity depart
ment of the New Haven, testified re-
garding his work. He said he had sent
out matter to newspapers in New
England and New York which was to
be used as news and not as coming
from the railroad. He denied writing
editorials for the road, and said he
had nothing to do with legislative
news or with the placing of advertis-
ing.
Rep. Cleveland A. Chandler of
Bridgewater, member of a New York
advertising company, testified that
previous to his election in 1912, he had
received no advertising from the New
Haven, although he had tried to get
it. Soon after he was elected, however
the witness received large order fol-
advertising to place with several ma
tional magazines. He said he did not
tell any of his fellow legislators about
the contracts he had received and de-
MED that the fact that he had de-
clined to vote on legislation affecting
the road had any connection with the
advertising contracts.
The hearing was adjourned until
next Monday morning.

RUMFORD DEFEATS
SENATORS IN FAST
GAME Is TO IS.

Rumford Falls, Me-, Feb. 6.-(Spe-
ly hindered by unfamiliar backboards,
the Senators of Augusta succumbed TO
the dashing play of the Rumford quin-
tet here tonight and were beaten 20
to 16. Stuart and, Smiley, both played
hard, aggressive games for the vlsl-
tors, while Richardson and Ruff stood
out we'll from among the others OF
their team.
The game was clean, hard and fast,
a succession of brilliant passing, quick
shots and tightening up of defence
that quickly shut off any rally by
either team.
The first half ended II to in favor
of the home team, with the visitors
stuhbornly hanging on and refusing
to be shaken or left any safe distance
behind.
The second half, the local five stead
lily forged to the front, gaining point
by point and establishing a safe mar
gin against their opponents, who were
unable to find the basket.
Stuart's fast dashing, dribbles, his
quick passing for shots were many
times for naught. His hard aggressive
attack bewildered the home five time
and again. but their superb defence
frightened and broke up this Inc OF
offence.
The local five were fast on their
feet, quick to shoot or to pass ana the
PLAYS were a dribble, pass and shot'
The Senator's defence work was
above ordinary, but lacking two regu-
lar men their usual style OF onenee
could not be called on at critical
times.
