Regulations governing the pay

charged soldiers have been amended
by the War Department to permit the
acceptance by disbursing officials of

were required, but, it was found that
many soldiers refused to part with
the papers. preferring to lose the
bonus rather than risk the loss of
official evidence of their honorable
release from the army. All copies
submitted under the amendment au-
thorized must be certified by the
army recruiting officer nearest the
soldiers residence.

L. d. Newman and Leslie S. King, both
of Manset, pleaded guilty in the Ellsworth
municipal court last Wednesday to the
charge of violating the fish laws, and paid
the fine of 1929 so each imposed by Judge
Crabtree. The complainant was Alonzo

The men were charged with the illegal
shipment OF short Holsters, the warrant in
each case charging the shipment OF $50
Holsters, but as it was a joint shipment,
the fine of 81 for each lobster was imposed,
and each man paid half.
The case dates back to November of

Warden Sullivan. The Holsters were
billed to Boston firm, from IF. P. Allen,

Governor Milliken has sent out the
formal call for the special session of
the legislature, to convene Tuesday,
Nov. 4. The special session was called,
primarily, to enable the legislature to
pass highway bond legislation, as ap-
proved by the voters at the special
election in September. Incidentally,
it was proposed to take up the bridge
bill, on which agreement was not
reached at the regular session. Now
the legislative hopper has been
thrown wide open, and indications
are that quite session will develop.
Among the bills proposed is one to
reduce the cost of living and stop
proiteering. A stringent measure has
already been drafted. Another bill
proposed is for 500 bounty to all
Maine men in the service in the re-
cent war.

The United States railroad admin
istration inaugurated this week an
accident prevention campaign on all
railroads in the country under fed
eral control. The campaign will
officially close October 81, but it is
hoped that its effects will be far
reaching and lasting. Churches.
schools. chambers of commerce, the
press and the public generally are
urged to cooperate in the campaign,
which has for its object the lessening
OF accidents on the railroads, which
in the aggregate are enormous each
year, and are largely due to careless
ness of the public. Drivers of auto
mobiles are urged to be particularly
careful in approaching highway
crossings, and persons who make a
practice of walking on railroad tracks
are asked 10 take warning from the
fact that 5000 people are killed and as
many more injured on the railroads
of this country each year while SC
trespassing.
