RACE FOR WARDEN
JOB AT THOMASTON

Three sheriffs, Ferd E. Stevens of
Androscoggin county, Edward D.
HARDWOOD of Kennebec county and
Ward w. Westcott of Hancock
county, are putting up quite a lively
campaign for the wardenship of the
Maine State prison to succeed Frank
j. Ham of Augusta, who will resign
in a few weeks to become the collect
or Of internal revenue for the Dis
trict of Maine. 1t is expected that
Mr.. Ham will succeed Leon 0. Tcb-
belts of Waterville as the revenue
collector on the first of July, and the
selection of the warden would
naturally be made the latter part of
this month.
The prison commissioners, Edward
w. Wheeler of Brunswick, Frank H.
Hargravos of West Buxton and Leslie
Boynton of Jefferson. will name the
new warden. Prior to 1917 the
warden of the State prison was ap-
pointed by the governor with con-
firmation by the Council but the
Legislature of that year changed the
law and Mr.. Ham was the first
warden under the new order of
things. The office of warden pays a
salary of something like $500 per
year, with house thrown in"
Mr. Ham. the new collector of in
ternal revenue, has bought a house
here and will make his residence in
this city.
It is expected that chairman Of
the Republican State Committee to
succeed Chairman Ham will be Sc
lected within the next few weeks.

Washington, June - Rejecting
committee provisions for a minimum
army of 10000 men for the next ifs
cal year, the Senate today passed the
army appropriation bill, carrying a
total of 1894 100000 and making pro-
vision for an army of not less than
100000 men. The House had pre-
viously provided for an average
strength of 100000.
Advocates of economy and a
small army came to the front in the
final hour of debate, poured a hot
attack on the committee provision
for an enlisted personnel of 100000
and then mastering their forces,
voted the committee amendment
down, &c to go. BY like majority
of four votes the Senate yesterday
had accepted the 10000 figure, SO
that today's vote constituted a direct
reversal
The army budget now goes to con-
ference for the compromise of Senate
and house differences. The House
bill carried appropriations totalling
about s14.OO0,0O0 less than the Sen
ate measure.
Two Democrats, Senators Fletcher.
Florida, and Myers, of Montana voted
with 80 Republicans to support the
military affairs committee as to the
size of the army. Thirteen Republi-
cans voted with % Democrats
against the 10000 figure These
Republicans were Senators Borah,
Idaho; Capper. Kansas; Godding.
Idaho; Harreld, Oklahoma Jones.
Washington; Kenyon. Iowa: Ladd,
North Dakota; LaFollette, Wiscon-
sin; McNary, Oregon: Stanfield,
Oregon; Townsend Michigan; Nor
ris. Nebraska, and Willis. Ohio.
Committee amendments other than
for the pay of enlisted men were ac-
copied and the Senate added an APP
preparation of 100000 to prepare
plans for the development of the
great falls of the Potomac as q
source of hydro electric power for
the city of Washington.
Senator Dial, Democrat. South
Carolina, attempted to attach an
amendment prohibiting use of any
of the appropriation to pay United
States troops in Germany, France
and Belgium 90 DAYS after the APP
prevail of the act. IT was voted down
by a chorus of noes after Chairman
Wadsworth had characterized it as
most unwarranted interference in

ITALIANS COUNSEL
ASSA|l EVIDENCE
IN MURDER TRIAL

Dedham, Mass, June S.-The state s
first effort to identify the automobile
in which the bandits who shot Freder-
iclI A. Parmentcr and AllesandrO Ber-
ardelli at South Braintree a year ago.
escaped, was bitterly attacked by the
defense today at the trial of Nicola
Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, charg-
ed with murder.
Shelly a. Neill, express agent at
South Braintree, who delivered the
$4,000 payroll money to the factory
where Farmenter and Berardelli were
employed. testified to having seen on
the morning of the shooting a big
black automobile standing as the curb
directly in front of the factory office
entrance. He said slim. light haired,
sallow faced man lounged in the Of
flee doorway watching him. a driver
sat in the automobile and the engine
was running.
Later, Neill testified, he saw the
car again as it was dashing from the
scene of the murder about sos p. M.
Someone was firing from it. On cross
examination the defense wheeled into
position it's legal artillery and laid
down a heavy barragc Of questions.
Neill stuck to his story. Defense coun-
sci wanted to know how he could pick
out this one automobile when his pre-
vious testimony had told of seven Or
eight others in the immediate vicinity,
and how he was so positive that the
car he had observed in the morning
was the one he saw dashing from the
murder scene in the afternoon. Neill
admitted that he did not know the
detailed characteristics of every auto
mobile on the market and stumbled
over technicalities. He was insistent,
however, that he had given particular
attention To the car at the curb. He
explained this when Assistant District
Attorney Williams asked him if his
car held in his eyes at the time any
significance. Neill replied:
Yes, sir. I considered that the
life"
The prosecution concluded presenta-
ton of its expert medical testimony
today and put on the stand witnesses
who testified that Parmenter and her
ardelli had been shot to death on
April Is, 1920, as they were carrying
the payroll from the Offices to the
factory on Pearl street.
