Augusta with the rest Of Maine passed
ahroush yesterday a northeaster Of about
- hours duration. which was exceeded in
energy b. but one storm for the winter
and which made it's influence felt In va
Yious ways. The storm began Sunday
evening and from that time until Mon
day morning the snowfall was very slight.
This might also be said of the storm
throughout the morning hours and into
the afternoon. but along toward the mid
die Of the afternoon the storm began TO

This was not 80 much on account Of
the snowfall as IL was because OF the fact
that out over the hills there was wind

The Professors Wage.

One of the more prominent Eastern

of itself. 1t finds the students living
in magnificent dormitories and palatial
fraternity houses, some of which are
heavily endowed. going to classes In
their own automobiles and possessing
more changes of raiment than Samson

A Correction

An item which appeared in the Wa
terville news of the kennebec Jour
nal Of Feb. 5 stated that there has
not been made and cannot be made and
substantiated a charge that any Off

Some OF the members of the police
committee feel that If these men or
any other have any charges to
make they should make them to the
committee in order that an investiga-
ton Of the matter may be held"
Evidently the Kennebec Journal re-
porters memory is too short to include
the incidents occurring on day less
than a month ago when a we'll known
resident Of the city. DR.. L. A. darcy
entered formal complaint to the city

said to have used unnecessary force
