Forum as Force" Roy Leach
secretary Of the Lewiston Chamber
and formerly of this city. was an.
other speaker on the program, his
subject being Handling Promis-
cuous Solicitors"
At IL O'Clock the following met in
the Auburn Chamber OF Commerce

l.. D. Fuller, oath: s. n. Annis. Wa
teryiIie: ROY Leach, Lewiston: G. Z.

Welt Of Auburn, the host: and Char
les II. White Of Portland, who is
manager OF tie State Chamber OF
Commerce The meeting adjourned
as soon as the program for the day
had been outlined, and the members
with Presidents Flanders of Auburn
and Shelton of Lewiston as honorary
guests, met at the Elm house for
dinner.
The executive secretaries agreed
to form a permanent organization
and at the next meeting, the time
and place to be decided later. to
elect officers. 1t was voted to meet
every two months. visiting each
Chamber of Commerce in turn, and
the secretaries also voted to form a
speaking bureau. to give addresses
in other cities and towns in Maine in
order that the cooperative spirit of
the Chamber Of Commerce may be
extended. The secretaries agreed to
cooperate with the State Chamber
in carrying out it's program in Maine.
Secretary Clarke of the Augusta
Chamber was asked to prepare for
the next meeting q special report on
the subject, THE Itinerant Vender,"
which is a pressing question with
the Chamber of Commerce in the
cities. The secretaries are unani-
nous in wanting the present law
which they consider an excellent
one, enforced, so that out of the
State "sales specialists" who come to
the cities and towns, taking the
cream of the trade and paying no
taxes, will have to conform to the
law.
The question Of Daylight Saving
was given a thorough discussion and
an attempt is being made to have
all the Maine cities bring Daylight
Saving to close at the same time.
Il was the opinion Of the secretaries
that Daylight Saving Is undesirable
in the way that it has been adopted
this year because of the confusion
which it has caused. They were in
favor Of either Daylight Saving or
Standard time being universal, and
not a matter for the different cities
and towns to decide upon.
The meeting of the secretaries to
be held in Augusta, will be held
some time during the coming ses-
sion of the Legislature so that mat
tiers of legislation may be taken UP.

And This in St. John

One observing citizen was heard
to remark yesterday that he noticed
most of those wishing to tour in
Canada have of late shown prefer
ence for the Province of Quebec.
He likewise hears that those who
have had occasion to visit the Prov.
ince OF New Brunswick report that It
las become merely an extension OF
the Great North American Desert.
ana one brings back the following
from the st. John Daily Telegram
Of Sept. 20, as proof Of the aridity
in that neighborhood:
"All the ladies grinned at 1t and
the lassies did the same. It stood
erect and shameless, lacking even the
clothing of a label in the exact centre
of Princess street where German
street cuts across it. The hour was
nearing half after five and there were
many passers-by to wonder and to
grin. Automobiles neatly turned the
corner and left it standing in its
saucy solitude. 1t was the bright
particular spot in that locality. 1t
drew the attention and aroused the
mirth of all and sundry. whether
they were bound on most religious
errand or merely speeding home
ward to warmth and food. How it
came there, there was none to tell
but of those who gazed upon it there
must nave been one in whom it
called up tender memories. BY the
time the hour of seven was striking
it had been moved by loving thought
full care and placed in safety if not in
seclusion. Then 1t stood erect and
sturdily though not quite so inso-
lently as before and its location was
the gutter by the roadside. AS it's
coming was unnoticed, so its depart
ure was unheralded and when the
hour of eight had passed by and
quarter of an hour more had been
sped upon the wings of time, the
place knew not what had become of
that large and most conspicuous
empty bottle that had ornamented
the public highway in such unusual
and such brazen fashion, Spirits it
apparently had been empHed of when
first it CLEANED upon the eye of pas
scrs-by but it was eventually spirited
away for not the ghost of it remained
when the shades of evening fell"

MUNICIPAL COURT
Three Boys Plead Guilty to Break
ing, Entering and Larceny--Matter
to Be DISPOSED of This Morninq

The seriousness of the crime of
breaking, entering and larceny was
explained by Judge Cony to three
Monday afternoon at the municipal
court and pleaded guilty to that
charge. The young men were Anne
Gagne of SO Northern avenue. 16
years old: Dolphus Bonenfant. of 13
Laurel street, II years old; and
Raymond Meunier of 10 Kendall
street, II years old. They pleaded
guilty TO the charge of breaking, en-
tering and larceny in the pool room
of David A. Matthew on Water street
on a night about the Goth day of
August, taking from the store cigars
to the value of $3.50, cigarettes to
the value of s6.40 and about $40 in
cash. The boys were arrested Sat
urday afternoon.
A fourth boy, George Lupin of 90
Mt. Vernon avenue, II years of age,
was also before the court with the
other respondents. and stated that
he did not take part in the Matthew
break. but admitted that he had pre-
viously attempted to break into Tet-
reault's drug store, but had failed.
The boys were agreed that about
week previous to Aug. 20. Gagne
and Bonenfant had made a break in
the pool room, and that in the last
break. on or about Aug. 20. Meunier
and Gagne were implicated
The complainant, David A.
Matthew, on the witness stand testi-
fled regarding four different breaks
that had been made in his pool room
and identified Gagne. Bonenfant and
Meunier as three of the boys who had
been hanging about his pool room.
At the close of the hearing. Judge
Cony continued the matter to 10
O'Clock this Tuesday morning, when
he will make his decision. In reply
ing to questions put to them by the
judge. the boys stated that moving
pictures played an important part
In their undoing. Judge Cony took
occasion to say few words of adj
vice to the parents of the boys who
were in the courtroom, suggesting
that the parents use their influence
with the boys. to keep them home
nights. and thus keep them from 60
ing wrong, and that if the parents
were unable to cope with the situa-
ton. the police department and the
court would take hand.

George eooues as a Man o Wars
Man in "Ruddisore"

Some actors or singers put on their
costumes and makeup and walk
through a part. Rut George Bogues
in his costume and makeup as Rich
ard Dauntless in "Ruddigore" does
something more than that. He as
sumes the character. the looks and
every time he walks on the stage in
that amusing role. Not to see him is
to miss part of ones education. New
York adopted him as her particular
pet and this city will do the same
when he comes with the rest Of the
company which is to present "Ruddi-
gore in this city at the Opera house
on Thursday evening. Sept. 80.
AS Richard Dauntless. Mr.. Bogues
scored the greatest hit in his career
Of many hits. His makeup and his
sailor dialect are artistic in every de-
tail. He is redolent Of sea breezes
and he seems to be walking the deck
Of 9 ship as he gets every bit Of
mirth- making in the character across
the footlights. His dancing also is a
sheer delight, and to watch him dance
the Saiior HoEnpipe IS " "AeHesS e"S
real thing.
If George Bogues was the whole
show, "Ruddigore" would be worth
while. But "Ruddigore" itself IS the
musical hit Of the country and Of this
generation of comic operas. 1t was
given over 200 times in New York last
season. and the critics pronounced it
the best comic opera that city had
been favored with in the past, 80
years.
The seats. are now on sale at the
box office, which Is open from 10 A.
NJ to P. M. and the phone number
is 100. Order now and save the
trouble of waiting in line the night Of
the Show.-AdV.
