Criticism Of Giving
Free Conduct to Boy-ed

ence to the officially expressed wish of
the United States government. The Brit
ish government felt that the captains
capacity for injuring the interests of this
country was at least not greater in
Germany than in the United States. The
government had no reason to regret this
view.
Regarding Br. Bellairs' query in regard
to Capt. Boy-Ed's present activities. Lord
Robert said: II have no reason to doubt
that all Mr.. Bellairs says about Capt.
Boyd is true. Some of 1t is officially
known to be true. but I do not think
anything would be gained by announcing
that no further safe conducts would be
granted"

Coach Hughitt Realizes the
/ Proposition of a Hard Scrap
with Bowdoin and Acts Ac-
cOrdingly
HARRIER PACK FOR BIG
MEET IS SELECTED

Orono, Me-, Oct. 31-Coach Hughitt ex-
pressed satisfaction of the work of the
Maine eleven at the first practice of the
week Of the football eleven on Alumni
field and congratulated the line of the
fine work it did in the game Saturday
against Colby. Maine had expected a
somewhat different result from that
which came from the battle at Water
Vile and the thought of getting away
with a tie score never entered Names
head. in anything but spirit.
The team came out of the game in
twisted knee in kicking one of mis-
long punts, wasn't out last night. ana
also displayed a bad wrist about the
campus yesterday afternoon. Bill AL
len, who survived with few muscle
bruises, Captain Gorham and 81 Stew
art were easy with the work least :av-
oring their weak spots, after the Cruel
ling contest Saturday. Hughitt thanked
the line before practice for the fine work
1t did Saturday and stated that the
work of the whole team despite the had
fumbling was on the whole very good.
Maine knows Bowdoin will fight next
Saturday and to this end, she is per-
fecting a hard organization to trim
Hard practice will be the calendar for
the week and when asked yesterday
how the game next Saturday would
come out, Captain Bill Gorham stated:
III tell you five minutes before the
game" The old lineman. student, pop
ular campus man played the greatest
game of his career Saturday and real
lied that he had 10 men with him all
the time.
Coach William McCarty of the Maine
track and cross-coL ntry team has
picked the following men to be enter
ed In the annual I. A. A. A. A. cross
country run which will be held at Yale
course this year the day that the Har-
ward Yale game is staged at New
Haven: Capt. Preti, Dempsey, Wun-
derlich. Herrick. Libby. King, Stod-
dard, Emery, Sargent. Fosset., Osgood.
Dolloff, Wells and Kneeland.
The cross country work has been
coming along in fine shape and DOC"
McCarty has been showing few
smiles of late concerning the work of
his men. Preti is not in the best of
shape. However the rest of the men
are feeling fit and by the constant
grind every night in the week over the
hard Orono course, are becoming fit for
the State. New England and intercol-
legiate runs which are ahead of the
team, and in each of which races, she
must hold up the reputation as cham
pionship holder.
Al Shrubl,. the coach Of the Harvard
oss-country team. likes Maine to win
the big intercollegiate cross-country
championship again this season. Il
have been looking over the field very
carefully for the coming race" said
Shrubb recently, land while 1 do not
know what all the colleges have, still I
fail to see why Maine should mot have
q splendid chance to come :, through
again. If Maine has Preu, Dampsey
and Wunderlich still eligible to run this
year. it is going to take one swell COM
bination to down them. These runners
are as fine cross-country performers as
I have seen in the game for some
time"

Attorney General Pattangan Re-
views States Cases on Which
Men Were Convicted - Cases
Laid Over for Further 1nvesti-
cation

The Governor and Council in session
Tuesday evening approved the nomina-
lions made since the last meeting. APP
proved the October warrants. as told
in the State House department and
heard the presentation Of the States
evidence in the pardon petition cases
of 'Castiglio for the murder OF Ventreiii
at Jay and Hubbard for the murder OF
Matthews at Hartland. Attorney Cen
eral Pattangall giving clear and COM
prehensive review of the evidence
which lead to the convictions. Both
cases were laid over to allow the par
don committee of the Council to visit
the prison this week and make fur
Their investigation.
The Castislio Case
Attorney General Pattangall stated
that he did not wish to appear as OPP
posing the pardoning power of the
Governor and Council, but that he did
wish to show that juries in the State
of Maine did not convict anyone OF
the crime of murder unless the State
had presented conclusive proof that
the party accused had committed the
crime
He said that in the case Of Castig-
Ito, who with MOTTO was convicted OF
the murder of Centrelli, the cause had
been shown to have been trouble over
a woman, threats had been made and
that one Of the men had sharpened a
knife, the other partially pointed the
iron part Of a pick, the men had gone
to Ventrelli's place and the man had
been killed. The nature of the wounds
showed that part had been made with
knife and part with some blunt
weapon, and the doctors said might
have been made with the pick. The men
ran away from the house, were sus-
pected, arrasted and their stories be-
came conflicting and contradictory.
They were given a thorough trial, be-
ing ably defended and it was not unus-
ual to try two persons at once for the
same crime. 1t was proper. but had
to be with the consen, of the prisoners
themselves. They had a local lawyer
and Attorney Holmes of Lewiston. who
spoke enough Italian to converse and
consult with his clients and they had
an able defense by their counsel.
No new evidence entered into the
pardon part, except the alleged con-
fession OF Motto, who was understood
to have said that Castiglio did not
make any Of the knife wounds.
My experience with juries has been
that they will not convict unless we
make out a case. These men were
found guilty Of murder. We would rid
lcule a Legislature that would make
term of as few years as they have
served as the punishment for murder. 4"

Why Society Women Wash
Their Own Hair

Fow realize how many society
women now wash their own hair, not
because II is a fad, but because they
wish to obtain the greatest possible
hair beauty and be sure they are not
usirg anything harmful. The thou
sands who have found that in wash
ing the hair It is never wise to use a
makeshift but Is always advisable to
use q preparation made for shampoo
Ing only, say they get the best results
from a simple home made canthrox
mixture. You can enjoy this, the best
that is known. for about three cents
shampoo by getting some canthrox
from your druggist. and dissolving a
teaspoonful In cup of hot water.
Your shampoo Is now ready. After
its use the hair dries rapidly with uni
form color. Dandruff, excess oil and
dirt. are dissolved and entirely disap-
pea. Your hair will be so fluffy that
1t will look much heavier than 1t Is.
Its lustre and softness will also de-
light you, while the stimulated scalp
gains the health which insures hair
growth.--Adv.
