STATE HOUSE

Hearing was held before the Gov
crnor and Council Wednesday on
the petition for the pardon of Viii
liam A. Holland, Il Portland drug
gist, who is serving a sentence of
three months in Jail on the charge
Of selling liquor. Col. Harry NJ.
Bigelow of Portland appeared for
the petitioners. saying that he did
not appear as an attorney for he was
not an attorney but because the
case appealed strongly to him. The
impression prevails among people
who are familiar with the case that
influence was brought to bear which
prejudiced Mr.. Holland and finally
landed him in Jail.
Col. Bigelow explained that Hol-
land run a drug store on Washing
ton avenue in Portland and did
sell liquor, as did many other drug
gists. But Holland did not make
the selling of liquor his principal
business" said Col. Bigelow. His
influence is great in the community
where he lives. He is a man of
| good character and exemplary hab-
| it's and I am proud of his friendship.
Outside Of selling liquor l never
knew Mr.. Holland to do anything
! wrong. 1t is also the impression in
Portland that Mr.. Holland is being
punished for his activity in politics
| county attorney told Mr.. Holland
| that if he fought the liquor case his
fine would be $1,000 and II months
in Jail if he fought the case and a
fine of $500 and 80 days in Jail if he
did not fight it. Mr.. Holland did
not believe that he could be con-
victed but his witnesses were away
some in France fighting for theil
country, SO he went into court and
sentence of three months in Jail in
stead of the 30 days which was
promised by the county attorney.
County Attorney Beedy told the
court that great political pressure
had been brought to bear to keeI
Holland from going to Jail.
My opinion is that il Judge San
! porn knew as much about this case
when sentence was pronounced a:
he knows now that such a sentence
would not have been given. If Hol'
land had been a Democrat he would
not be in Jail today and if he hai
changed his party affiliations n!
others have done he would not be il
Jail.
MIR. Holland has made no none.
out of the liquor business, for al
that he took in he paid out in prose
cutions. People believe that Hol
land was punished because he would
rot do what the politicians wanted
him to do"
Mrs. Holland. the wife OF the re
spondent, told the Governor AM
Council that County Attorne.
Becdy told her that her husband di,
not support him when he was run
ming for Office and that County AT
torney Beedy went out Of his way t
tell her husband hat he was no
with him in his campaign. "But.
said Mrs. Holland. 1.-THE county at
torney told me that if I tried to &c
a pardon he hoped hat / would b.
successful"
Mrs. Holland cried while on tn
witness stand in speaking Of he
children and how the fact hat thei
father was in Jail a being KEEP

her husband had been elected al
alderman in a Democratic ward
which made some people very sore

Bath Accident Decision

\ decision has been rendered by
the Public Utilities Commission in
the matter of the accident on the
ferry boat Ferdinando Gorges at
Bath. April 4 last which resulted in
the death of Forest w. Creamer, aged
30 years. # Glendon, Me-. who was
employed by the Maine Central as a
deck Land on the ferry BOAT. F'crdi-
nando Georges. which plies between
Bath and Woolwich. The decision
concludes:
1T seems to he the opinion of most
of the men who saw the accident that
Mr.. Dreamer must have died from
heart failure or some other cause be-
fore he fell overheard, but no medi-
cal evidence on that point is before
us. 1t is difficult. however. to &C
count for his death in any other way,
because so far as he was observed by
witnesses WIZ saw him all of the few
moments Immediately before he fell
overheard. No accident happened to
him which -ould cause him to fall
overheard. The fact that lie made no
effort whatever to help himself with
the life preservers, would indicate
that there was some trouble with him
then, although of course. he may
have beer stunned in falling from
the deck int the water, SO that he
was unable to help himself"

veazie Accident Decision


A decision was rendered by the
Public Utilities Commission in the
matter of che accident on the
premises of the Maine Central Rail-
road at Jones' farm crossing. near
Neazie Station March q last which
resulted in the death of George &.
Gilbert of Orono, aged II years, who
was struck and instantly killed by
train No. o.. The decision concludes:
Mr.. Gilbert had been to the Jones
farm that morning and from the farm
towards the highway on the souther-
~ side of the railroad when The acct
dent occurred. There is some evil
dence tending to show that he was
ear sighted and deaf, but at any rate
he apparently neither saw nor heard
the train. even after the warning
blasts of the whistle, but drove right
onto the crossing in front Of the en-
gine. without any knowledge Of the
dangerous situation that he was in.
Had he heard the warning whistle
he might and probably would have
had time and opportunity to avoid
the accident.
Every person who attempts to
cross a railroad train ought to realize
that he is approaching a point Of
great danger and should always obey
the legal injunction to stop and look
and listen If this rule were always
observed. such unfortunate accidents

United American Protes antism
has planned joint drive for missions
In the greatest forward movement of
the Christian Church to solve the
problems of making the world and
democracy safe for the kingdom of
God. The Protestant Church is at
tempting to answer the challenge of
the spiritual crisis growing out OF
this world war. In the strain and
stress of the armed conflict the
church loyalty related itself to the.
task of winning the war. All of its
forces were unstintedly turned to one
purpose. The close of the war gives
occasion for an increased ministry
and an unparalleled expansion of its
influence in these days of recon
structing the very foundations Of civ
ili2ation.
In keeping with this plan the local
NJ nisterial Alliance has agreed to
combine in a campaign for arousing
the enthusiasm needed to bring their
various organizations up to the high
est point of efficiency, and unified
plan has bee invoked out. This plan
begins with a go to Church Sun
day" for January 18th, and has some
thing doing for all the churches con-
secutively until Easter Sunday. Every
church represented by the Ministerial
Alliance will be doing the same thing
though along individual ways, in a
united program for a period of four
months

CITY GETS OFFICE
/. Of REHABILITATION
BOARD FOR STATE
Its Aim Is to Train Disabled
Soldiers and Sailors in Vo-
cationsi viii Get Pay While
in Training,

The establishment here of a branch
of the rehabilitation division of the
federal board for vocational training
was announced Thursday by J. c.
Ross, IN CHARGE of the branch as vo-
cational adviser.
The purpose of the service is TO
train disabled soldiers and sailors in
occupational trades. The training will
cost the soldiers nothing. In fact,
Mr.. Ross said, they will get while
they are in training the amount of
pay they drew as soldiers and also al
lowances for the care of dependents
Their schooling expenses will be paid
also.
The vocational training service is
distinct from the federal employment
service, but the two will cooperate
Mr. Ross SAID. the former asking the
employment service to find employ
ment for the soldiers who have COM
pleted their training under its direc-
ton. The employment service has
nothing TO do with the training of the
soldiers. That Is under sole charge of
the vocational training service.
The Albuquerque branch will have
charge of the work in the state. as
well as in the city, except Fort Bay
ard. Another branch was to be es-
tablished there, 1t will be the only
other one in the state and. as the
branch here will have to look after
disabled soldiers in all other parts of
the state, Mr.. Ross will spend part of
the time travelling from place to place
His office here IS at 204 West Gold
avenue.
Mr. Ross expects persons who know
1t, I, a "a
training service is exclusively for
those who are isabled---to report to
him, believing that some of them fail
to learn of its existence. Their help
would enable the branch To extend its
service to men who otherwise might
be overlooked.
The soldiers will be allowed to
choose the vocation which they wish
to follow as far as that is practicable.
The service will aid them IN making
wise choice by determining the oc-
cupation for which they are best
fitted. The range of callnGs from
which they will be able to select is
wide as the service intends to make
use of civil institutions, shops and
factories in training them If there
is no place at an applicants home for
training him in the trade that he pre-
fers he will he sent elsewhere.
Mr. Ross took a special course in
training for the service in Denver,
which lasted two weeks and which
he finished only a few days ago. Re-
turning to Albuquerque to take charge
of the branch. he was accompanied
by Everett j. Saddington, supervisor
of advertisement of the service, who
formally onened the branch.
Mr.. Saddington went from here to
Fort Bayard to open the branch there.
Robert r. Knowles was to be placed
in charge of that branch.
