CLEARED OF WHITE SLAVERY.
EIwoOd Parkinson Is Discharged in
Court of Topeka.

Elwood Parkinson, 435 Reno ave-
nue., was discharged by Judge Paul
Heinz in the court of Topeka today
following his preliminary hearing on
a white slave charge. He was charged
with taking Effie Moran from Topeka
TO her parents farm near Dover for
immoral purposes. The girls mother
and father testified that Parkinson
represented to them that he and Effie
were married.
The states case. however. fell to
pieces when the girl herself admitted
on the witness stand that she had
sought Parkiuson's company, asked
him to accompany her and herself
suggested that they tell her parents
they were married so they might both
occupy the same room.
The girl sat complacently in the
court room with her small baby in her
arms during the trial. This is her
second child. according to officers.

Maine Retail Grocers
Have Busy Day at
Annual Meet, Bangor

J Bangor, Me-, Dec. 1.-The annual
meeting of the Maine Retail Grocers'
Association, one of the seven sections
of the Maine Federation of Retail
Merchants Association. was held at
the Bangor Chamber of Commerce
rooms on Wednesday afternoon. There
was an attendance of some 40 MEM
bers and there was an interested dis
cussion of various trade topics.
The association voted its protest
against the system of ad valorem du-
ties levied on imports at the port OF
entry. The members favor the levy
ing of duties at the port of shipment
as matter of figuring costs, the levy
of duties at the port of entry fiuctuat-
ing with market conditions and the
duties generally higher than at the
place of shipment. They maintain
that higher price of goods to consum-
ers in this country will result from
levying duties at port of entry.
Officers for the ensuing year were
elected as follows,
President, J. A. Rand Of Guilford:
vice president, Lyman B. Chapman OF
Portland; secretary and treasurer, f.
e. Mayo, Pittsfeld: directors. Omer

ADJUSTMENTS
Strong Drama With
Pauline Frederick

Barely indeed does the public have
an opportunity of witnessing a screen
production, far removed from all that
is sordid and repugnant, and yet one
which touches upon every shade of
human emotion. In THE Mistress of
Shenstone," a Robertson Cole super
special starring Pauline Frederick,
famous emotional actress, such a pro-
duction is presented. The picture is
at the Colonial Theatre today.
Adapted from the well-known nov
81 by Florence l.. Barclay, The Mis-
stress of Shenstone,' tells a tale of
love, sacrifice and honor that has had
few counterparts on the screen. 1T is
a page out of real life, throbbing with
dramatic action, but with all as clean
and wholesome as a prairie wind.
Pauline Frederick, with all the art
at her command. invests the Charac-
ter of Lady Ingleby, with a sympathy,
strength of character and humanness,
which even the power of the written
world failed to convey. Her work is
a. revelation that must need be seen
TO be appreciated.
From every angle "The Mistress of
Shenstone," is a production that will
rank among the best that the screen
has ever offered. and one which will
further establish Pauline Frederick
as the supreme emotional actress of
the silver sheet.

Maine Has Corn and Grain
Exhibit at Chicago Show

e. L. Newdick. secretary Of the
Maine Seed Improvement Society,
came at the Journal man thusly:
Did you know that Maine for the
first time in the history Of the ex-
hibition has an exhibit of corn and
grain at the International Hay and
Grain Show now being held at Chi
cago?"
The admission was made that we
did not--in fact never heard of Maine
intending to do SO. Then said Mr..
Newdick:
''Well, she has. 1t may not be the
largest exhibit but I know that it is
a good one. / decided that we had
corn and grain just as well worth
showing in public competition as
anywhere else in the country. Some
might think that it took nerve to en-
ter lin competition with the great
tremendous growth of those products
but the recent show over at Ban
gor proved we have them.
Therefore. asked and urged three
personal friends to send some of
their corn and grain to the Chicago
show. They consented and exhibits
from r. l.. Copeland of Brewer, Edwin
Jones Of Dryden and Fl. IT. Brock of
Portland are there. II they don't win
recognition, I'm mistaken in my judg-
ment."
We now await the reports from
Chicago.

O'Connor drove to Dover in his cal
to see a prisoner in the Jail there,
and that while he was in consulta-
ton with his client his automobile,

John Ford and Leonard Ford, drove
to Milo after concluding business at
Dover, and it is claimed that a car
containing several deputy sheriffs

the Bangor men stopped at the fire
station in Milo the deputies came up
and proceeded to search the car
against the protests of the occupants.
The deputies appeared to be search
ing for liquor. but they found moth

ages in each three cases-one for
each occupant of the car, in the sum
of $4,000
The cases will be returnable for
