Charman's Statement

waterville, Me-, Dee. 6.-tSpeciaD.
When questioned Sunday as to the
validity of the statement made in a
Boston daily Saturday to the effect
that Mrs. Laura A. Conley of Abbot,
who is serving a six-months sentence
in the Piscataquis county Jail for lar
ceny, had been pardoned, Governor
William T. Haines said he knew moth
ing about the case.
THE people of Maine should bear
in mind that the power of pardon does
not lie in the hands of the Governor,
as in most states, but the Council re-
ceives and acts upon pardon applica-
lions and then sends them to the
Governor for his signature. He may
refuse to sign the pardon, but he has
no power to grant a pardon without
the recommendation of the Council.
said the Governor to Journal re-
porter.
Governor Haines was at his home IN
Waterville, and when asked as 10
whether he had signed a pardon for
Mrs. Conley, said he could not tell
without consulting the records 1t Au-
gusta.

waterville Protestant

Waterville Protestant ehurcnes
through campaign teams made
whirlwind tour of the city Sunday al
ternoon, in which they termed an
every member canvass, visiting every
member of the parish. and asking hlra
to contribute toward a fund for the
benefit and maintenance OF the
church. Although no real official re-
turns were made Sunday evening
there is every reason to believe that
the undertaking more than surpassed
expectations, and the revenue deriVeo
will be satisfactory. In a way 1t was
the busiest Sunday afternoon that
Waterville has ever seen. One church
had 80 canvassers, and the number
ranged from that all the way down
to u. Everyone responded generously
and the team members found their
work a pleasure. Detailed reports Will
