1t costs money to make a big mo-
tion picture these days. At least,
THE Sacred Flame in which hand
some Emily Stevens will be seen at
the Colonial theatre Tuesday cost a
whole lot of coin, for it is one of the
most expensive productions released
this year. This is due to the fact that
the very best of everything was Sc
cured for the play during the taking

apartments are truly regal. in their

RESCR|PT FROM
THE LAW COURT

A rescript was handed down by the
law court Saturday in the York coun-
ty case of Arthur H. Jacques, in
equity, VS.. the Otto Nelson Company
ct ais, sustaining the appeal and ex-
ceptions by the plaintiff.
The rescript, which was drawn by
Chief Justice Leslie c. Cornish of Au-
gusta is as follows:
Bill in equity to enforce a lien,
brought by a sub contractor against
the contractor to recover a claimed
balance of $494.13. The s32795 ex-
pended by it in repainting, and of
$2S0.16 in applying a coat CT shellac.
both in accordance with the orders of
the architect. The case was heard by
. a single justice. both items of counter
charge were allowed, and therefore
! the bill was dismissed.
| Upon appeal by plaintiff it is
HELD
| l. That the finding of fact by the
sitting Justice that the painting by
the subcontractor did not meet the
contract requirement and therefore
the expense of repainting should be
allowed, was fully warranted by the
evidence.
g. That the contract did not re-
quire the plaintiff to apply coat of
| shellac to the wood work. When a
building contract makes the architect
an arbitrator between the parties to
decide practical questions that may
arise during the progress of the build
ing, his decision within the limits of
the matters committed to him is bind
| ing, so long as he does not act un-
reasonably. capriciously, arbitrarily,
wilfuliy or fgaudulently. But he can
not require the performance of addi-
tional work not within the terms and
fair intendment of the contract.
8. The requirement here was not
within the terms or intendment of the
contract. but involved additional work
J not contracted for. Therefore the
counter charge of s2S0.a6 should not
have been allowed. The plaintiff, is
entitled to recover his lien claim of
$494.13 less the cost of repainting
sS27.95, a balance of s166.18 with in
terest from date of the bill.
Appeal sustained.
| Bill sustained with costs.
Decree in accordance with opinion.

wife and five children in Portland and
it was testified that he sent them from
$50 to $50 per month: that Since his
Imprisonment she has gotten into
debt and needs his support. The
same claims are made in this as in
the former petition. A hearing has
been assigned for Tuesday, Nov. %.

Respectfully represents Nelson w.
p. Munster Of Jackman. Somerset
county. State of Maine, that at a term
Of the Western Somerset municipal
court held on July 26. 1920 at Show
hegan.. he was convicted of unlaw-
fully having in his possession a GER
tain quantity of intoxicating liquor
and was sentenced to pay a fine of
$500 and the costs of court, taxed at
$3.50 and six months in Jail and in
; default Of payment eight months adj
ditional in Jail at Skowhegan and in
execution of said sentence was COM
mitted to said Jail on July 20.
HE humbly prays that after due
, notice and hearing he may be granted
a pardon for the following reasons:
Il. That he was not guilty of said
crime and he did not enter an appeal
in due season, owing to his ignorance
of the law.
"2. If he was guilty, the punish
| ment is, indeed, excessive. as he was
given the full penalty of the law"
The petition is dated Skowhegan.
