Thursday night when Beacon Com

The good people of Cape Elizabeth
sorrowed with everyone at the wreck
of the steamer Bay State, but was glad
that-if 1T must occur,-the steamer
should be left on their shore. That is,
they were happy for a time, but now
comes the story that the wear and tear
through the passage of the thousands
of autos and teams over the roads has
been so severe that it will cost at least
$1,000 to repair the damage. The road
to suffer the worst is the famous Cape
Elizabeth Shore road. 1t is built Of
gravel and not in anticipation of such
heavy amount of travel, therefore it
is today in anything but good condi-
ton. The scene of the wreck is out
side all means Of approach except by
foot or conveyance and with the
beautiful weather the number of people
wishing to view it seems to increase.

DIR. Lucy Waite spoke of the need
of legislation and said the bill to be
presented to the legislature does not
contain the word 'illegitimate." "The
BILL" she said, provides that a child
birth constitutes marriage unless
one of the parties is already married.
Really, there is no such thing as an
illegitimate child. There may be ille-
gitimate parents, but every child that
comes into the world has legal rights.
Here in Illinois we have the worst
law in the world. It provides that
man can settle with the mother of his
infant by paying her $3.50 within ten
years after its birth"

(By United Press)

Los Angeles, Dec. 16.-Two explo-
sions, followed by rapid fire. de-
stroyed the Llewellyn Iron Works of
Los Angeles.
Fire followed the two explosions,
according to employees of the plant,
who say the flames Immediately en-
veloped them and spread SO rapidly
that the buildings were far gone when
tie firemen arrived. The escape Of
the men was miraculous, as they had
to pass through the fire and electric
wires. In 1910 the plant was partly
wrecked by bomb.
The police found the boilers of the
plant intact, refuting the possibility
that boiler explosion was resron-
sible. The police believe it incendiary
The fire chief thinks gasoline was
spread through the building. Dyna-
mite experts say this explosive was
rot used. They think an acid bomb
was employed. Guards are sur
rounding the plant to prevent destruc-
ton of evidence. The suddenness OF
the fires spread tends to support the
theory of incendiarism. The loss is
half a million.
President Llewellyn and Prosecutor
Woolwine this afternoon stated that
they think high power wires caused
the fire. They say it started on the
second floor and burned for some time
before explosions were heard. They
believe these were due to gasoline
stored in the plant. The search for
POSSIBLE clues concerning incendiarism
continues
