IMPROVEMENTS MADE
IN TOWN BUILDING
Vault in Basement Will Relieve Con-
geStion in Town Clerk Vault
Smoking Room Provided.

Several improvements are about
completed under the direction of the
selectmen in the town building. 4
part of the basement has been convert
ed into a smoking room for patrons of
the Auditorium. cement floor has
been laid and benches from the com
mon have been installed there for use
during the winter months. The walls
and ceiling have been whitened and
electric lights installed A ventilatOr
is to installed, and when this is
done there viii be no further excuse
for smoking in the lobby between acts
of performances.
Not many have known that there
was in the basement off from the boil
er room fire proof vault Of consider
able dimensions. Some changes have
been made and the vault is now acccs-
sible at all times. 1t VIII he used for
| storage purposes by the town clerk to
| relieve rhe congestion in the vault in
his office, which is overcrowded by rec
ords and papers, many of which are
required TO be kept by law, but which
are seldom referred to by anyone.
| The windows on the sides of Festi-
val hall have been covered with a ma
terial that gives the impression OF
stained glass. This will do away
with the necessity of shades which
were constantly being torn or damaged
and which tapped in the breeze when
ventilation was required by open win
dows. The covering of the windows
does not interfere with the light, but
cuts off the glare of the sun, which ~
times has been very annoying.

DR.. DUDLEY DUG MISS
SULLIVAN'S GRAVE
That Is the Allegation of the County
Attorney in Outlining Case at
Houlton, Maine

HOULTON, Maine, Dee. Taking
of testimony in the trial of DR.. Lionel
f. Dudley, who is charged with the
murder of Mildred Sullivan by means
of a criminal operation, was started to-
day
Two witnesses were heard before
noon, one presenting plans of the scene
connected with the death of the girl at
Presque Isle and the other describing
the finding of the body in q shallow
grave in the woods nearly two months
after the girl 5 disappearance.
County Attorney Archibald outlined
the government s case, declaring that
the state would endeavor TO prove that
the girl died at the home Of Alice Pei
letter. who is also under Indictment
and that the body was transported by
automobile to the woods and that DR.
Dudley himself dug the grave.
The Maine law makes the perform
ance of a criminal operation felony
and on this ground the state made the
charge of murder, Archibald said.

The fact that French wagships are
part of the fleet, mentioned in this
despatch. is strong evidence that the
point of (Which the warshiPs arc gath
cred is the DardanelIes.
The bulk of the French navy is sta
toned in the Mediterranean, although
reports have ccme that some dread
uoughts of the republic were cooper
ating with the British navy in the
North sea.
Moreover. it is we'll known that the
Turkish defences at the Bosphorus
were very weak, and reports have been
current that much work to strengthen
these was being done under the direc.
tion of German officers.
The action of the censor in cutting
out the name of the locality also
points to the probability that the Bos
phorus is the place.
