MANIAC AMUCK
IN BIDDEFORD

Biddeford. Dec. 27-Robert 3. Sci.
dell. prominent Biddeford attorney
and former city solicitor, and Emery
Wakefield. proprietor of a popcorn
booth. had a close call from death
late this afternoon, when Michael
Hinchey, Jr.. aged 81. suddenly open
ed fire on Mr.. Seidell with a revol-
yer.
The attack on the lawyer occurred
while Main street was crowded with
shoppers and a near-panic ensued
After two shots had been fired, Mr.
Seidell turned and ran away from
Hinchey, who pursued him for some
distance, firing twice more and then
giving up the chase and returning to
his home on Elm street. There he
barricaded the place, and the police
sent to take him into custody expect
ed a repetition of the sensational
battle when Robert L. Mapes of Saco
fought off a posse for several hours
about year ago. Much to their
surprise, however. Hinchey opened
the door and came out and surren-
dered.
Hinchey is without doubt deranged,
it was stated by the officials tonight
and meeting of the board of NUM-
cipal officers will be called within a
day or two to determine whether or
not he shall be sent to the State
asylum in Augusta. Friends of the
man. who has always been of a gem
ial and kindly disposition. say that
for some time he has appeared to be
suffering some mental trouble, and of
late he has been particularly moody

Wheat and Other Things.

The United States Grain Corpora
tion reports exports of wheat and
f1our. July 1 to Dec. II to the amount
Of 7e.764,00O bushels of wheat and
1857 900 barrels of four as COM
pared with ss.s16.ooo bushels Of
wheat and s,s1s,ooo barrels Of nour,
last year in like period.
President Barnes Of this corpora
tion has just made a statement reia-
tive to Mr.. Hoover's plan to supply
food to Europe on credit, using the
capital of the corporation
Mr.. Barnes says the appeals from
abroad are quite distressing and the
profits of the corporation are quite
material and should, he urges, be IN
vested in humanitarian relief abroad.
He said the expected loss because or
the wheat guarantee would probably
he avoided and so is had opportunity
TO- assist in the dire extremity OF the
foreign people. He expresses the
opinion that this will be the last win
ter in which the need will be so Sc
we're; that now it does exist and the
IMPOVERISHED haven't money to buy
the food; that
Congress may well CONSIDER
whether one hundred or two nun
dred million dollars of loans au-
thorized to those suffering nations IN
tho maintenance Of social order would
not be a proper return for part OF
the billion dollars to the national
treasury. instead Of the preservation
Of the entire amount in cash. Neither
Mr.. Hoover nor myself convinced as
we are Of the dire extremity of mil
lions of people, can face the respon
sibility without thus putting the SIT
uation before the American people
and their representatives..
While our people have given free
Iy and while they have too quickly
forgotten the sacrifices required by
the war they are willing to give more
IL they may be convinced respecting
the actual need and the motives be-
hind those seeking the relief, or, In
some cases, the motives Of those sug-
costing it. One, who may have read
Eleanor Franklin Eagan's description
fof the horrible, hopeless condition IN
which she found the Armenians,
crawling through the fields on all
tours, eating grass; of the schemins
of those who would exploit what Tur-
kew has left of that people; of the
cynicism expressed by some in high
places to the effect that the Turks
should have done a more thorough
lob and killed all the Armenians. one
whose sympathies have been stirred
by the vivid portrayal Of evident
truth respecting the actual depriva-
ton of some and degradation of 9TH
ers would nevertheless feel somewhat
uncertain as to just what should be
done. There seems. however, but one
thing to do. and that is to contribute
what we fairly may whenever We
have been reasonably assured re-
specting the integrity of the channels
through which the contribution is to
be made. 1t would seem that Con-
cress ought to be sufficiently well in
formed to act intelligently in this
matter and be able to render ma
terial assistance.

ties Of the hour. and day of reckon
ing will surely come.
At the big race meetings we have
seen a great many picturesque wraps,
which suggest delightful things for the
autumn. The quaint Manon cape, full
and volumInous, is still a strong IA
vorite. 1t Is made Of satin or peau de
sole and lined throughout with the
softest duvetyn, In some pale neutral
tint, or vivid color, such as rose Du-
barry or leaf green.
A black Manon cape, lined with pale
beige duvetyn, Is a precious posses
sion. 1t Is warm, picturesque in out
line, becoming and coy. The Paris
iennes, especially our smart young ac-
tresses, wear these loose cloaks with
immense grace and charm. They have
clever way of drawing them in at
the hem to give the tr0user effect
shown In the Redfern sketch.
Gorgeous Evening Wraps.
For Biarritz and Deauvllle. for chill
ly evenings, similar wraps are lined
with bright rose or green velours de
laine, and special feature is made Of
the big Manon hood. These cloaks will
be worn In the daytime, too. over lace
and linen dresses, the loose fronts
thrown back AMI the cape hood falling
or the shoulders.

The Redeem model I have sketched

wear. Is typical of presentday styles.
1t possesses all the elements that 60 to

In the first place the general outline
Of the little gown rather suggests an
evening costume. The neck Is cut
round, in generous fashion, and the
sleeves are very short and transparent,
yet this is the kind of dress that is
worn at the big race meetings and at
all outdoor festivities. accompanied
by big picture hat and-more prob

gloves. II is. in fact, a genuine 1919

The material Of this costume is
