These figures show the people of
Maine how their financial affairs have
been conducted during the first six
months of 1921 1t is matter of i'm
portance for the people to study these
figures so they will understand the
States financial condition. The total
amount of overdrafts of $41,689.S7
herein shown are more than Offset
by savings that have been made in
the appropriations Of other depart
ments and institutions that have not
been expended in full. The total ap-
preparations made by the Legislature
amounted to $2,507,51217. OF this
appropriation $508,310.86 has not been
spent After deducting the overdraft
of $41. 81 from the unspent appro-
priaticn it appears that net saving
of $47e ,620.99 for the first six months
of 1891 has been made by this admin
istration. There are always some bills
that come in late and have to be
taken care of, but In SO far as there
Is any record of outstanding obliga-
tons all bills have been included in
the within statement The present
administration, however, has been
called upon to take the sum OF $144,-
1870 from the Contingent Fund to
pay bills incurred previously to jan
uary 1, 1921.
From this statement it appears that
the States financial condition is
sound, that all departments and insh-
tutions have been properly cared for,
that $476,620.99 have been saved from
the appropriations, Notwithstanding
the fact that reduction of 1876 has
been made in the State tax, without
including the Soldiers Bonus charges.
reduction of $3.50 of the tax has
been made if the Soldiers Bonus is
charged against this present admins
tration. The actual saving in the State
tax is 1870, however, for a Soldiers
Bonus is an unusual charge and can
not be considered as one Of the regu-
lar and usual items which an admin
isration is expected to meet from its
ordinary income.

meating the entire building which once

The opening was, after fashion a

Central Park. The club library, won-
ems reception room, poard of governors

a memorial to the army and naval
officers who lost their lives during the
war.
The club will be affiliated with the
Army and Navy Institute, which was
chartered last week by the State Board

ing the doctrines Of patriotism and

WAR ON MOSQUITOES
IN SUFFOLK COUNTY
Campaign On to Banish
Breeding Places of Pests.

Suffolk county, L. l.. declared war on
mosquitoes yesterday. p. II. Woodward,
General Passenger Agent Of the Long
Island Railroad. which is boosting the
campaign. said yesterday: Mature en-
dowed Long Island with everything un-
der the sun and did not forget to provide
q bountiful supply of mosquitoes. They
are a nuisance and have got to go. We
shall clean up the breeding places and
say goodby to Mr.. and Mrs. Mosquito
and all their children and relations.
CAS- object lessons we have Kings,
Queens and Nassau counties. where
mandatory laws exist. requiring that
breeding places be cleaned UP and the
cost assessed on the county. The results
in Nassau county since 1917 have been
marvellous. Nearly 20.0oo acres of marsh
lands have been drained and the salt
marsh mosquito Is extinct so far as
Nassau is concerned. We Suffolk peo-
pIe are selfish In this matter. because
we want to see the vacant acres filled
I'D with homes and gardens and we
want to sit on our porches and smoke
without being tortured by the winged
pests.
The slogan is. Suffolk County TO
Arms!' We must hasten because tho lit
tie devils are biting all the time and
they will be back next year for more
OF the same nourishment."

DISTRICT ATTORNEY
REMOVED BY COURT
Nathan A. Tufts, Massachu-
Eetts Prosecutor, Oustcd After
&alfeasance Trial.
FULL BENCH DECISION
Official Accused in Case of Al
legged Blackmail of New
York Film Men.
FULL BENCH DECISION

BOSTON. Oct. 1.---Nathan A. Tufts was
OF Middlesex county In decision handed
down to-day by the fun bench of the
Supreme Judicial Court of Massachu-
sets.
The court found Tufts guilty of a num-
ber of the charges preferred by Attorney
General ]. Weston Allen. who alleged
nonfeasance. misfeasance and malfeas-
ance in office. Testimony on these
charges was given at extended hear
tngs in the early summer. The court
asserted that the public good required
Tufts's removal.
The decision was unanimous and not
subject to review or revision. the court an
nounced. Attorney General Allen desig-
mated Charles R. Cabot, an Assistant
Attorney General. to act as District At
torney of Middlesex county until sue
cessor to Tufts shall be appointed by
the Governor.
In rendering its decision the court
said that while full weight was given to
the fact that a District Attorney Is con-
stantly prosecuting criminals and Is a
conspicuous mark for attack from the
vicious, the depraved and the menda-
cious, 1t was constrained by the COM
pelling nature of the evidence" to make
its findings.
these findings of fact" the court
continued, make clear beyond DOUBT
that the character and official conduct
Of the respondent render him unfit to
hold longer the Office of District At
torney"
The most spectacular OF the charges
ureferred against Tufts had to do with
a midnight patty at Mishawum Manor
a Woburn roae house, in which promi-
nent motion picture producers paruci-
pated. Tufts, the Attorney-Generai
alleged. was concerned with William J.
Corcoran. his predecessor IN once;
Daniel II. Coahley, Boston attorney.
and others in a conspiracy by which
800. 900 was extorted from the motion
picture men under threat Of indictment.
The Boston Bar Association this week
petitioned for the disbarment or Cor
coran and Coaxley.
IAN orgy Of drink and lust took
place" the court said. THE moving
picture men were not without experience
and shrewdness in the affairs OF the
world They knew the chances taken
by them in participating In debauch.
they must have realized full well that
publicity could not be suppressed II the
District Attorney was determined to In
vestigate and get at the root OF the
affair.
Tufts, the curt found. failed to make
any investigation at all adequate to en-
able him to form a sound Judgment on
the question whether the motion picture
men were guilty OF an ofrence for wnicn
they ought to be indicted He also
failed. the fading said. to use proper
efforts for the conviction and sentence
OF Brownie Kennedy. known as the
proprietor of the road house.

Tufts. District Attorney OF Middiesex

when he was shown a telegram stating
that the Supreme Court Of that State
had removed him from office. Mr.. Tufts

COMMUTERS TRAVEL
ON THEIR FACES NOW
Tickets Must Bear Photo
graphs of Passengers.

No commuters ticket on the New York
Central Railroad was good for a ride
yesterday unless 1t bore something at
least vaguely resembling a photograph
of the person presenting the ticket. The
order went into effect yesterday morn
ing. and about 10000 short haul riders
of the n. Y. c. r. r. had to have all
ready to be pasted upon their conmuta-
tion tickets little thumb nall sun sketches
of their physiognomies. Thumb prints
and Bertillon measurements had not
been demanded.
There was considerable growing and
grumbling. but on the whole the dictum
was received fairly good naturedly, and
some OF the commuters made giddy
test of the whole business. having
grinned as widely as they could or
scowled as heavily as they could when
the photographer man pressed the but
ton. Conductors. however. were not
fussy and did not appear to demand
classical likenesses. AS long as there
was a photograph Of some size pasted
UPON the ticket they let 1t go at that.
