Dean ACADEMY 28 TO 26

| The game was surprisingly clean.
The rough work Augustans have been
led to expect in the past was lacking
and Captain Grenier has passed out
the word to keep up this policy.
Arnold stopped a rush by Grenier by a
| tackle about the neck and put the Au-
gusta man out for several minutes. Gre
nier came back but was bit unsteady
and put Wyer in his place for the re-
naming few minutes of the last half.
Daicey interfered with a Dean man
shooting for a basket and one point was
awarded the Dean team. Later Daicey
put his knee so viciously into the ball
that the thing collapsed. That totaled
Daicey's feature plays of the evening,
although his passing had a big influence
in the final result.
The last half was a hair-raiser from
start to finish. Augusta tied the score
and had a point to the good before the
Dean boys had their feet placed. Then
the score see-sawed with neither having
more than two points lead until the final
whistle.
Secretary Goodman of the Y. M. c. A.
offciated as referee in the most efficient
manner ever seen on an Augusta basket
ball floor. Not one of his decisions was
questioned.
If Manager HAPPENS schedule has any
more like this. and it shows some speed
on every date, any prospective spectator
would be safer to have his heart exam
ined before taking the chance. Augusta
has assumed its proper place in the bas-
ketball doings of northern New England,
and the sooner the sporting element of
this city recognizes the fact the fewer
games it will miss. For any man who
saw last nights game and still doubts,
tiddlewinks is respectfully suggested as
more appropriate to his understanding.
The glad tidings:

CONTINGENT FEE FOR
LIQUOR PERMIT UPHELD
Justice Robb Rules Attorney W. F.
Columbus Is Entitled to
Half of 81 500

The opinion of Justice Stafford. of the
District Supreme Court. that a contract
to procure a liquor license made on a
contingent fee is against public policy.
yesterday was reversed by the District
Court OF Appeals. in an opinion by Jus
tice Robb.
Under Justice Robb's opinion, Will
lam F. Columbus. attorney. is entitled
to half of $500 procured from Thomas ].
Mccarthy by Joseph S. Sheehy. attor-
ney. as half OF an agreed fee for pro-
curing Mccarthy a liquor license at 1870
New York avenue.
Sheehy, former president of the Excise
Board, claimed that the $500 was his
share OF the whole fee and that Co
lumbus would have to look out for his
own share. Columbus said he ought to
have half of the amount paid Sheehy and
sued for $3.50. Justice Robb held that
even if the contract between Sheehy and
Columbus was Illegal the latter should
get his share Of the money.

No Refugee Train.

The dangers and difficulties which
would attend the departure Of 800 Amer
leans from Mexico City, as planned by
the State Department, were found to be
so great by the proposed refugees that
they have decided to remain where they
are. The State Department says that
there were difficulties in the way of get
ting accommodations at Vera Cruz, and
hardships connected with the transfer
of passengers from one train to another
The refugees prefer. the department
states, to wait for accommodations by
the northern route. There is a gap be-
tween the terminus of the ''Carranza
railroad and the .'Zapata railroad" to
and from Vera Cruz and that there is
consequently no means Of protecting
refugees bound to either city.
Dispatches to the State Department
yesterday confirmed the reports OF the
defeat Of Gen. Villa at Celaya by Gen.
Obreson. The department estimates VII
las losses up to the 18th at 5000. The
reports show that on the 18th -four trains
of Villa soldiers" arrived at Asuas
