Beatrice Blechen Chat was the
name she gave to be recorded in the
municipal court Monday morning,O
claiming Bath as her home. IS years
Of age and not by any means unat-
tractive so far as looks went, was
before the court yesterday to answer
to a warrant sworn out against her
by Mrs. Ada F. Hunt. agent for the
prevention of cruelty to children, on
complaint of the proprietor of one o.
the hotels of the city, and charging
Beatrice with being an idle and dis
orderly person, without any visible
means of support and avoiding all
lawful occupation or calling. This
was after Beatrice had passed the
night at the ploce station. following
Ter arrest Sunday afternoon on Wa
ter street by Officer Fox of the police
force.
When arraigned before Judge
Lancaster yesterday morning Beat
rice was represented by Former
Judge Benedict F. Maher and by ad
vice Of her counsel pleaded not gull
ty. In explanation Beatrice took the
witness stand and claimed to be a
working girl and to be working as a
cashier in a restaurant at Bath. An
other young woman to whom Beatrice
claimed to be sister and who per-
hapS was little older, was also pres
ent at the hearing as an interested
spectator. AS the hearing progressed
it became apparent to the court that
the principal desire on the part Of
those interested in the prosecution
was to get rid of the girl and the
case was finally brought to conclu-
sion by suspending sentence on con-
dition that Beatrice should get out Of
Augusta and stay out. the first part
Of which condition the girl and her
sister carried out by taking the i.05
express for the west.

It seems they have arranged
things that way to discourage travel.
We find We could buy plenty OF

sugar is very scarce. In Paris every :

GOOD food at very reasonable

stopped at.
When you hear any more talk
about the awful moral conditions IN
these big cities you can tell the
people making those statements that
they don't know anything about 1t.
In my humble opinion that condition
is not as bad as it is right in our

out all times of night and l have vet
to find who has noticed anything
along that line. IT certainly makes
me tired at the yarns they have told

than half the population had left the

The only way we hear Of what IS
going on is by Paris edition of the

nothing about the war except those

PLATINUM FOR WAR NEEDS.
Citizens are Asked to Send Their
Plat mum to Raymond Il. Baker
Director Of the Mint.

Washington, Sept. 9.-To get
enough platinum for war needs the
government has decided to go into
the market to buy jewellery or scraps
of the precious metal and establish
a great melting pot to which citizens
will be asked to contribute as a
patriotic privilege. Platinum rings,
lavallieres; chains and other orna-
ments considered non-essential in
these days of war necessity, are
sought especially and they will be
paid for at the rate of sl05 an ounce
of pure platinum, the regular market
price.

platinum to Raymond t. Baker, di-

Defrauding Soldiers Relatives.


There is evidently we'll organic
ed band of criminals over the country
engaged in defnauding relatives CT
soldiers. We have heard of several
instances where. parents OF others
have received kilograms asking that
money be sent by wire, only to find
later that some clever criminal had
cashed the order. An attempt of this
kind seems to have occurred in In
dependence, for one week ago Satur-
day Mrs. Harry R. Wiley received a
message from Camp Cody asking that
she send $40 at once to her husband
as he was about to start overseas.
Her suspicion was aroused because
the signature was not exactly as he
always writes it and telegram
brought the information from Serg-
cant Wiley that he had sent no wire
and would write by mail. A letter
received from him later stated that
he had neither written or wired fol
money.
There have been enough frauds OF
this kind to make 1t advisable to get
full information before you send
money to soldier boys in answer te
