NEWPORT

On August 18th three boys were
brought from Corinna to Newport be-
fore Judge Blaisdell. The charge against
the boys was made by George F. Locke.
who runs . barber shop and pool room
in Corinna and has on sale tobacco,
cigars, cigarettes and soda water. Locke
stated that for some time he had been
confident that he was losing goods
from his stock, but only recently has
he been able to locate the parties
deemed responsible. The last time that
goods were taken was on Aug. 10th at
1000 r. NJ. and Il was also shown that
goods had been taken earlier on that
day. On Tuesday three Of these boys.
namely Herbert Dow. Paul Campbell
and Stanley Leavitt Micue were
brought up before the court. but after
examination by the court It developed
that they were not alone in this
matter. and investigation showed
that there were two others involved.
for this reason action was suspended
until the other culprits should be
brought before the court. One Of thesa
boys, Elwood Weeks was found in Dex-
ter. the other Eddie Lank. was in Cor
lima. and the hearing was had and sen.
tence given on Wednesday. All the
boys pleaded guilty to the charges
made against them except Eddie Lank.
who Is q years OF age. He put up .
defence represented by H. D. Ridion.
Esq. of Corinna. After the defence the
court found that the Lank boy was
more OF IN accomplice than actually
engaged IN the thefts. 1t seemed that
he stood outside, on guard as u were.
while the others entered and obtained
the goods. when the spoils were divided
among the 1--WE. In the case Of Eddie
Lank. probable cause was found and
he was bound over to appear before
the Grand Jury Of September term Of
court in Bangor. Stanley Weeks was
fined and discharged. Herbert Dow.
who had committed this offence before
was sentsnced to the State school for
boys. which sentence was suspended.
and he was placed on q period Of pro-
baton for nix months. Stanley Leavitt
Aicue was placed on probation for six
months - was also Paul campbell.
During the six months probation each
one Of these three boys 10 required to
report weekly to Belmont smith and -
Howard winchester. and they must
leave or dsposit with these msn DC. Per
week Tor twenty weeks. Of money that
they have earned themselves The

New York. Aug. 10.-The York

crnoon is as follows:
Those who were so ready to throw
over their holdings yesterday felt less
blue today and sought, in many cases, to
get the stucks back. This impaired n
firm undertonc to the list through most
of the session, though it did not have
sufficient cooperation from investors to
create buying power enough to keep
prices on the upgrade or even steady at
all times
The reason seemed to be that those
who would ordinarily be attracted by
prevailing levels had their eyes fastened
on the peace conference at the White
House The instincts of the investor
and the professional trader alike coin
cidcd. as it was perfectly clear that the
course of the market depended on the de-
velopments at the meeting in the near
future It was expected that the gath
ering would indicate conclusvely wheth

to effect common ground of com

hOma SOlOn Says.

New York, Feb. 1.-THE morale of
American soldiers in French rest
camps is being shattered by the unsan-
itary and crowded condition they are
subjected to and by the long periods
of waiting for transportation, declared
Senator Robert J.. owen of Okla ahoma,
who arrived here today on the liner
Rotterdam. He said he would go to
Washington at once to report on the
result of his Investigations and to urge
corrective measures.
1T is imperative that these men be
brought home at once" said Owen.
Their Rehabilitation should proceed
more Systematically and provision
should be made to give them new
start in life when they get back home.
This is not charity, but duty we owe
them"
Particularly Bad at Brcst.
Owen said that conditions were par
ticularly bad at Brest. There has been
some improvement, particularly as re-
CARDS food. but overcrowding still con-
tinues. He declared that men in the
Brest camps are becoming respondent,
and Major -, whose name he re-
fused to give. committed suicide while
suffering from melancholy. He de-
scribed the mud there as "knee deep"
The one eXtenuation for this, he said,
was that climatic conditions are bad.
Wnlle the senator was describing
the situation he found at Brest, Mrs.
Owen, who had accompanied him on
| this European trip, exclaimed:
Not Fit for Cattle.
"Brest is a horrible hole. 1t is not
! fit for cattle. Why we couldn't keep a
| pig there. If conditions in Brest are
better now. God help the ones who
were there earlier"
| Then she burst into tears. Owen

Steps Toward Kansas Organi-

State Meeting To Be Held in
Supreme Court Rooms.

The newest permanent organization
of veterans in Kansas is about to be
formed. Tomorrow night in the state
supreme court room men who were in
the service of the United States during
the world war against Germany will
hold their first conference toward
making a permanent organization.
The meeting will be attended by men
from all over Kansas. Gen. c. L.
Martin will be temporary chairman:
Walter Payne, state treasurer, will be
temporary treasurer; l. E.. Lambert,
secretary of the senate in 1917, and a
lieutenant in the aviation branch of
the service, will be temporary secre-
tary. The proposed organization will
not be confined to any one branch of
the service.
Its purpose is to have every man in
Kansas who was in any branch of
Uncle Sans service to become a mem
Der, excepting of course, "conscien-
tious objectors." The meeting tomor-
row night, which will begin at 1880,
will be attended by sailors, marines,
infantrymen, artillerymen. men from
the quartermaster's department. engi-
neers, and every other department of
the service
Men who have had overseas service
are of course especially urged to at
tend this meeting. Several dozen will
attend from various counties of the
state. The plan of those who are TAX
ing the first steps in forming the or
ganization is to have Kansas one of
the first states in the Union to have a
permanent organization of world war
veterans. Ike Lambert has taken the
trouble to do a little investigating con-
cerning the proposed organization and
has found that it is immensely popu-
lar. Naturally the organization will

CARRIES STATUE ON DOME
Myra McHcnry Would Put Saloon
Smasher's Image on State House.
Myra McHenry is still here.

Myra McHenry is still here.
Myra came last week Last Wednes-
day she pounced on the Wichita city
manager plan Incidentally she said
a few unkind things about the way
modern women dress and the tolera-
ton of cigarets. Saturday she startled
reporters by announcing her intention
of going into the movies.
But today she played her trump
card. AS has been stated Myra was a
companion of Carrie Nation, and when
the two were in their youth. no saloon
keeper felt comfortable when they
came to town. Today Myra viewed
the dome of the state house. and called
attention to the lack of decoration on
its pinnacle.
Then she hied to the legislative
chambers, and is now spending the
most of her time trying to get a legis-
lator or legislators to introduce a bill
to place statue of Carrie Nation on
the dome.
What could be more appropriate,
reasons Myra, than for Kansas, the
birthplace of prohibition, to erect a
statue of the famous saloon smasher
on the dome-a hatchet in one hand
smashing a bottle of Johnny Walker
in the other-as an eternal mockery
of the hated brewers. And under it,
maybe, might be the battle song of
other days, Father. o Father, Come
Home with Me Now"

WILSON is ON WATCH
Keeps Close Tab on Comment on the
League of Nations Plan.

Aboard the U. S. s. George Wash
ington, Feb. 17.-President Wilson dis
played the deepest interest today in
American comment on the league of
nations received by wireless. He de-
voted considerable time to studying the
varying degrees of appreciation and
disapproval, especially that emanatins
from Washington.
The American people will be ac-
quainted by the president, with all
matters in connection with the league,
it can be stated on the highest au-
thority. He is prepared to clear up
all doubt regarding application of the
leagues principles on the Monroe doc
trine.
The president attended the ship s
movies Saturday and spent Sunday in
the seclusion of his cabin until church
time, when he attended divine services.
The George Washington was maxi
