Calls at House on Bangor Road
Saturday Evening and Tells
Pathetic Story of Abduction
by Stranger
TOLD OF BEING LOCKED
IN ROOM IN GARDINER
Girls Story Ingenious but Rec
ords Of Augusta Municipal
Court Present Matter in a
Different Light

Judging from reports which were re-
ceived Sunday from the Bangor road
some little excitement was caused Sat
urday evening by the arrival at the
miles north OF this city, of young
girl about 13 years of age who gave the
name of Sturtevant and claimed to have
walked that day from Gardiner on the
way to her home in Watervile. AT the
house where she stopped, according to
the story, she told the people of how
a man had enticed her one day last
week from the Grammar school in Wat
erville, by the promise of candy. and
had taken her to Gardiner, where he
had kept her for three days locked in
a room; that she had on Saturday made
her escape from the house and had walk
ed all day, arriving early that evening
at the Palmer place, worn out and nun
cry She told a plausible story. it is
said, and when she requested sufficient
money to pay her fare to Naterville it
was given her.
Inquiry of City Marshal Colgan and
of Judge Lancaster of the municipal
court last evening ELECTED the informa-
ton that the girls name is Sartoris
Sturtevant and that her visit to Au-
gusta Saturday was the second that she
had made during the week. The first
was when last Thursday she was brought
before Judge Lancaster by Mrs. Mary
NJ Aver Of Vassalboro, a State agent
for the protection of children, after hav-
ing been taken from her home in Wat
erville by Deputy Sheriff Lewis. the &C
ton being taken by Mrs. Aver because
the alleged conditions in the girls home
were not suitable for one of her age:
AS the result of the visit to the Augusta
court it was understood to be Mrs. Ayers
decision to place the girl in children's
home in Gardiner, and in view Of the
above story it is probable that the call
er at the Palmer place on the Bangor
road Saturday evening was Sartoris.

Some idea Of the magnitude Of the
ties commission In organizing the de-
partment, preparatory to performing the
duties imposed upon 1t by law, may be
had from single line of work now under
way. 1t is required to familiarize itself
with the business OF all OF the public
utilities Of the State, to establish uni
form systems OF accounting for the sew
eral classes, to secure and keep On fiie
fo- its own use and the benefit of the
public schedules of the rates charged
by each, to classify the service rem
dered oy each class for greater efficacy
and the equalization of charges, and
to secure full annual returns from each
utility. 1t is obvious that one Of the
first necessities is a complete and acu-
rate list of all such utilities in the
State. Without this, many will continue,
necessarily or otherwise, to do busi
ness without subjecting themselves to
the regulations which the public de-
mands

in this way got the names and addresses

1t is certain that this list is very in
complete, especially with reference to
electrical aind water utilities, while it
contains no whariingers or warehouse
men. Since the commission went into
office, circular letters have been sent
and twenty G2W towns and cities, ask
ing them to report names of the utili-
ties doing business in their respective
municipalities. Very satisfactory re-
suits are being secured in this manner
but they are necessarily incomplete.

PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION IN
ORGANIZING Department FINDS
EARLY WORK ALMOST UNLIMITED

Office of the Secretary of State, His
work comprises the examination Of the
card indexes. and from them the char
tiers or corporation certificates of all
of the corporations that have passed
through that office, to learn which ones
are utilities under the provisions Of this
act II one did not know how many of
these cards there are, he might think
this a small task. But it means hand
ling nearly $1,000 cards and following
that by an examination of the record
of purposes of organization in every case,
when the name itself does not fully dis
close the purposes, or Mr.. Leach has
not personal knowledge of it. For ex-
ample between 1000 and 5000 corporations,
organized under the general corporation
laws of the State still do business SO far
as the records show. This entire list
must be gone through to determine how
many are public utilities. Those organ
lied under special charters are repre-
scented in a card index of more than
twenty thousand cards, comprising the
complete index to the acts and resolves
of the State.
Theoretically, this would be much SIM
plifed by the provision of law requiring
such CORPORATIONS since 1891 to file an
acceptance and record OF organization.
Many never organize, and if it were GER
tain that none did business without
complying with this requirement. it
would be necessary only to go through
the list of those who have filed returns.
But it is well known that some small
concerns neglect this formality. Hence
the necessity Of a full examination.
In addition to these lists, there is
record Of almost as many more corpora
tons whose charters have been sus-
pended for non-payment- Of taxes or
which have been excused from making
returns on filing certificates that they
had ceased to do business Many OF
these continue or resume operations with
out filing further notice. So 1t is. this
list must be gone over.
In addition to the corporations, the
commission must exercise jurisdiction
over all individuals and firms operating
any public utilities. No record Of these
is found in the office Of the State depart
ment The commission must locate all
such through the local municipal officers
and other sources. The commission feels
confident that with these different meth
DDS to supplement and check one an
other it will be able to secure a very
complete and accurate list within reas-
enable time. But this is one of the very
first necessities in the organization OF
the work.
