PECULIAR CASE
BEING SHOWN UP

Some clever questioning by City
Marshal Finnemore bought to light
a peculiar case Sunday afternoon and
the END of it is not vet 1t was at
about o'clock that woman appear
ed in the police station and said that
she wanted the police to find a suit
case which had been stolen from her.
The marshal asked where she was
when 1t was taken and she said that
she came in on the car from Lewiston
and that man asked to carry her
suit case and she let him have it and
that he quickly walked ahead of her
and disappeared. She said that she had
come over here to see her daughter
Asked where her daughter was she
replied that it did not matter. Pressed
for the information she said that the
girl was over in the waiting room
with a man and that they were going
to take the electric car back to Lew
iston, that Mrs. Hunt had come over
to Lewiston and taken her daughter
away from her but that now she was
going to take her back. Headquarters
Officer Davis then went to the wait
ing room and took the man and girl
to the station The fellow said he was
constable in Lewiston and showed
his badge to prove it. Gradually the
story was worked out, that the girl
had been placed in the care Of Mrs.
Hunt. the agent of the State Society
for the Prevention Of Cruelty to Chill

dren, and by her had been placed on
a farm in Benton. That Sunday
morning the man had gone there ana
showing his constable's badge nag toiu
the people that he had come for tne
girl, having been sent there by the
state authorities. They let her go with
him, and but for the suit case incident
they would have doubtless been IN
Lewiston by now. Miss Gladys Gay
lord of the New England Home 1or
Little Wanderers was sent for and then
Judge Lancaster of the Augusta Num-
cipal Court was communicated with
and later in the evening Mrs. Hunt
came up from Augusta and the whole
matter was gone over again. The Wo-
man was very emphatic in her state
ments that she was going to take the
girl back with her. while the man after
he got in the station had very little TO
say, and once appeared to make try
to get out the back door and out OF the
whole business. Mrs. Hunt promptly
took charge of the girl as she had been
placed in her care and the mother had
no right to her, and at her request the
man and woman were detained for the
night, and will probably face the judge
in the morning.

ans, while a special electric carried the
members Of the ladies' allied bodies

CAR STRIKERS AT
OPERA HOUSE

There was largely attended meet
ing of the car workers who are out of
the shop and their friends at the City
Opera house Sunday afternoon which
was addressed by Cortez Smith, head
of the Carpenters Union of Waterville,
and James H. Dyer of Boston. The
meeting was resided over by William
White Of the local union and besides
these mepn, Ivory Carter of this city
was also on the platform.
Mr.. Smith was the first speaker in
PRODUCED by Mr.. White and he spoke
briefly in favor of the Union, saying
that the local carpenters union had
voted that the carpenters on strike be
allowed to work with them without the
necessity Of joining their union. He
paid his respects to Mr.. Mcdonald, say
ing that he was man who war draw
ing $4,000 year, which was just $780,
600 too much. He closed by urging he
ment to stand firm against the aggres-
sion of the officials of the company.
Mr.. Dwyer was the second speaker
and he told those present that he like
those in front of him was simply a
regular workman in the shops in Bos-
ton. He paid his respects in no uncer-
tain terms to Mr.. Douglass. whom he
referred to as man better fitted for a
car cleaner than for the high position
that he occupies. Mr. Dwyer said that
when Tom Condor went to President
Mcdonald and stated his cause, Nc
Donald said 70 him, why didn't you
come before" He called the men who
were still at work unfair, in that they
were inturing brother workers and al
so themselves. as should the railroad
officials be able to crush this union they
would follow by crushing each of the
unions of the road one at time, that
it was necessary for them to be to-
gether, and he showed how the Big
-Four were unable to accomplish much
until they got together and acted as
one unit. He said that if the other
side was in the right. why did they not
have public meetings and let the people
know what their side of the matter
was. He spoke Of the war and of the
fact that thousands of Americans
would go across the water to fight for
liberty, and said that this was as much
a fight for liberty as that. He spoke of
the growth Of the labor movement and
of how much better the conditions were
now under which men worked than
formerly He characterized the work
of the officials naming Douglass and
Hammit, as dirty and unprincipled.

Washington, May 27.-Replying today TO
Mai. Gen. Cocktails declaration that the
boards wooden ship program entrusted
to the general is hopeless, Chairman Den

the discussion of matters Of policy with
regard to shipbulding.

pose in it's activities in Washington at the

Red Cross Membership

1t is no trivial thing to belong to the
American Red Cross organization. 1t
means far more than being counted as
one of local group of Red Cross enthus-
lasts. 1t denotes responsibility to a ma
backing the relief work of that nation in
some definite way. To wear the Red
Cross pin means that you are one heart
and soul with the thousands of men, wo-
men and children all over the land who
are regular members of the organization
and who are doing their Bit for Red
Cross work.
1t was because the Red Cross member
ship meant so much that the Congress
of the United States in granting its char
ter as national organization placed
heavy penalty on anyone who should
make unlawful use of tn Red Cross in
sigma. Section of the Congressional
Charter reads in part as follows THAT
from and after the passage of this act it
shall be unlawful for any person to rep
resent himself a member of the Ameri-
can National Red Cross Association; or
for any person to wear or display the
sign Of the Rred Cross or any insignia
in imitation, without the right to do so.
If any person violates the provisions Of
this section he shall be guilty of mis-
demeanor and shall be liable to fine not
less than one and not over five hundred
dollars. or imprisonment for term not
exceeding one year. or both, for each and
every offence" We take the liberty OF
calling this to the attention of the public
that they may realize the significance of
wearing the Red Cross emblem and that
proper steps may be taken to insure their
proper use In this community.

"PRY OFF LID"
SATURDAY NIGHT

Saturday night early someone pried
off the lid and in the scuffie to get at
the drinkables below it. the lid was
lost and drunkenness reigned supreme
and the new auto patrol was the bust
est wagon in the city. Up to o'clock
Sunday night not less than IA individ-
uas had been placed behind the bars
for INDUCING in the forbidden fluid and
it looked probable that additional quar-
tiers would have to be secured before
morning to care for them all. 1t was
continuous round of PLEASURE for
the police and man after man was
picked up and taken in, while every
one whom it was possible to get to go
home was headed that way. The prize
collection was made Sunday afternoon
when a man came to Patrolman Nc
Laughlin at the station and said he
had been stabbed on the wrist He had
an ugly looking cut there. The fellow
was one-armed man who has been
about here before. The wagon was
sent for and Headquarters Officer Da-
Wis and Deputy Marshal Simpson who
CHANGED to be in the office, went up
with it. In company with Patrolman
Mclaughlin they went back of the COL
leges where they found a party of sew
en-, all of whom appeared to be drink
ing. The one-armed man picked out
one of the fellows as the one who had
done the stabbing and as all Of them
were well loaded with joy water they
were escorted to the patrol wagon and
taken to the station. The fellow with
one arm tried to settle his troubles
when he landed there and handed his
alleged assailant a smash on the jaw
that would have made Jess Willard
turn green with envy. The fellow went
down for the count and they were
then locked up in separate cells and
the judge will have a chance to settle
the matter in the morning.

Washington, May 27.-Criminal pros
ecution awaits persons who attempt to
prevent registration under the war
army bill by propaganda or otherwise.
Attorney General Gregory announced
tonight that his attention had been
called to the circulation of propaganda
designed to discourage registration and
that the government would deal vigor-
ously with such cases.
Such action IS plain violation of
the law" said Mr.. Gregory. And the
department of justice is prepared to
prosecute promptly any person guilty
of such conduct.
Tho officers and agents of the de-
partment throughout the country have
been instructed to watch carefully for
infracti of this law
In addition to the penal provisions
