MAINE BOYS
ADVANCE IN NEWS
PAPER BUSINESS

The Journal is in receipt Of the issue
Of Aug. "a of the Dallas, Texas, Dis
patch. containing a very compliment
airy notice of a former Journal report
err and a Maine boy-Ralph l.. Millett,
an Androscoggin county boy, who
went South nearly 20 years ago and
has made good. A number of the Maine
people who attended the Shriners con-
vention in Dallas few years ago will
remember meeting him. The article
announces Mr.. Millett's change Of 10
cation from Dallas to Memphis, Tenn,
as follows
Ralph l.. Millett, who has been edl-
tor of The Dallas Dispatch since 1912,
out of consideration for Alfred o..
Anderson, publisher Of the paper. Will
assume the editorship of the Memphis
| (Tenn.) Press during September. The
Memphis Press is also under Ander-
sson's direction. Its present editor is
to take up a new and important line
of work for the two papers mentioned
and the Houston Press.
Millett has made a remarkable rec
ord as editor of The Dallas Dispatch.
When he took charge as editor, hav-
ing previously been a reporter on the
paper for some years, the daily aver
age circulation was about 20,oo0.
Within two months Millett had caused
it to Jump to $4,000, the highest pos
sible kind of testimony as to his edl-
torial ability. Under his editorship
the circulation growth was steady and
in, hn nf CONNIE
tition from two one-cent papers. and
the only recession began in the rail- or
1914 and was due to the commercial
collapse resulting from the European
war. Today under Milletts edltorsh1p
the number of people who buy The
Dallas Dispatch daily in Dallas eX-
ceeds the number of customers here
| for electricity, exceeds the number of
customers here for natural gas, ne
cessity, and almost equals the total
number of customers on the books of
the city water department and at in
| tervals exceeds even this. In addition
The Dallas Dispatch circulates by Its
own carriers and otherwise in scores
of nearby towns.
Millett's editorship is marked by
distinguished and able public service
in the news and editorial columns OF
the paper. The paper has never
swerved from its original aim to be Of
| service to the mass of the people. To
his loyalty. enthusiasm, good Judg-
ment and vigor in his work Millett has
added great consideration for his asso-
ciates and his prospective departure is
keenly regretted by all Of them, as
we'll as by the hundreds of personal
| friends he has here.
Previous to taking up his new du-
ties. Millett will go on well-merited
vacation, on which he intends to leave
| Saturday. Ross Murphy, managing
editor, will be in charge of the editor
ial department.

GOVERNOR SHAW
At CITY HALL,
AUGUSTA TONIGHT
Famous Financial Expert and
Former Secretary of United
States Treasury Speaks in
Maine.

By far one of the most distinguished
speakers who are now taking part in
the Republican campaign in Maine,
will be heard in Augusta at the City
hall. Saturday evening. He is the Hon.
Leslie NJ. Shaw, former Governor Of
Iowa and former secretary Of the
treasury
Mr.. Shaw. now past the three-score
mark, is one of the most eloquent and
fiery speakers the national committee
has sent into Maine. Not only is he
eloquent, but he is picturesque in his
oratory. He has been described as be-
ing of the Billy Sunday type, for he
holds the audience, not only by his
convincing argument, but also by his
wonderful personality. The whole of
the meeting Saturday evening will be
turned over to the distinguished
speaker from the West. Robert j.
Coney will preside.
The Hughes and Fairbanks club of
Augusta will escort Governor Shaw to
the City hall. The members of this

COLONIAL THEATRE
Rupert of Hentzau" with Jane Gail;
Capital Prize" An Imp; "Hi:
Wife's Neighbour" Mysteries OF
Myra." Others

The management regrets to an
nounce that because of an error Miss
Lawrence was advertised to appear in
ELUSIVE Isabel for Friday and Sat
urday of this week instead of Jane
Gail in Rupert of Hentzau."
This feature is a beautiful photo
play, full of action. and based on the
sequel to Anthony Hopes THE Pris-
oner of Zenda."
Henry Ainley as Rudolf Rassendyll,
an Englishman, had been elevated to
rule as King Of Ruritania at the time
when the rightful king was being held
prisoner. So remarkably like the real
king was the Englishman that Queen
Flavia (Jane GaiD of Ruritania did
not realize the substitution until af-
ter the coronation ceremonies. Then
the rightful king assembled the throne
and the Englishman returned to his
home. The photo play is based on
these events following the foregoing
incidents.
Mr.. Ainley was chosen for this pic
ture because of his wide experience
as an actor of many types. Miss Gail
is amply fitted for this part for she
possesses natural poise Of queenly
grace and authority and in the pic
tured scenes of Queen F7avia's trying
of her emotional expression in panto-
mime of the photoplay.
The feature for the holiday show
will be Doug" Fairbanks in "Flirt-
ing with Fate.''-Advt.

New Britain herald., 1916-07-01

McQuaid. The plaintiff wants to learn from the defendant of his marriage to Miss Florence Weeks in Scranton, Penn., in 1890, four years before he married the plaintiff in the Mormon church in Brooklyn. The plaintiff was living with MT. Mayo when Lillian Cook, employed as a stenOgrapher by MT. Mayo in New Haven. committed suicide. The scan dal that followed revealed the Scran- ton wife and the alleged fact that MT. Mayo was maintaining a home in Brooklyn for a woman. Mr. Mayo re- fused to talk of entanglements with women, and little information was ob- tained from him.
 Edwin R. Leavitt, counsel for Miss Meyer, asked Mr. Mayo if he had ever known Florence Weeks and whether he had ever married her. He declined to reply on the ground that Git would tend to degrade or incrim- inate'' him.
 On the same ground he declined to say whether he had ever lived in Chi cago with a woman. He said he had lived in Erie, Penn; Wheeling, West Va.; at Ocean Grove, N. J, and for time made his home at the Cosmopoli- tan Hotel in this city. He also lived for a time in West Ninety-sixth street, and in Evanston, III.
 ''Did you ever live il Hazleton, Penn. 2" he was asked.
 NO, but I often went there."
 Did you ever go there with Flor ence Weeks or Florence ". Mayor"
 tn grounds.
 Tells of Only Ono Child
 Mr. Mayo said he was the father of several children but refused to tell
New Britain herald., 1916-07-01

anything about them except one, a daughter, who is Mrs. Virginia Kerr, of Pelham.
 Mayo said he had never known the Rev. G. M. Colville, who is alleged to have married MT. Mayo and Miss Weeks and that he did not know the persons who were said to have wit messed the ceremony. He admitted that he had lived in Scranton in 1890, but was unable to say just where he was on May IA of that year, when his marriage to Miss Weeks was said to have taken place. Asked about his first marriage to Alma Rice he replied that she had died in Cleveland on Jan. 4, 1887.
 Then MT. Leavitt wanted to know about Lois Dudley for whom MT. Mayo was said to have maintained a home in Brooklyn and who bore him children. He said he knew no one of that name and refused to reply to question as to whether he knew any one in Brooklyn named Dudley on the ground that to answer would tend to incriminate and degrade him.
 Then an effort was made to discover just what he was worth to the end that proceedings might be taken to hold the property pending the trial. He said he had owned the house at 546 Fourth street, Brooklyn, but had sold it in March, 1915, to F. Leon Shelp, a, lawyer, for $11,000. The property is now owned by w. H. Car penter, an emplOye of the Mayo Ra- diator concern of New Haven.
 Hides Name of Tenant.
 Has there been any change in the occupants of the house since you owned it?' MT. Mayo was asked.
 I believe not.'' he replied.
 "Who lives there?"
 T decline to answer on the same grounds"
 What did you do with the $11,O0O you obtained from the property?"
 ''I got rid of it pretty quick"
 'Did you use it for living ex- penses
 T Used it for general expenses"
 Asked about other property held by him in Connecticut, he replied that he was taxed in that state for $38,0O0 worth of property which there were mortgages amounting to $27,0OO. He said he owned several patents which
