Anti Cruelty Officers
Badge Testifies She
Is Not 'Self-AppOinted"

Miss Ruby Boynton of Augusta,
agent for the Society for Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, was in the city
Monday and defended herself against
the report that was made public in q
daily paper that she was "self-ap-
pointed reformer." She also objected
slightly to being referred to as ''fe-
male Of the species" Miss Boynton in
conversation with the Journal showed
her badge to prove her statement that
she was appointed to the office which
she holds by Gov. Carl E. Milliken
and was reappointed so that now she
is on her fifth year of service. Miss
Boynton while passing through the
city last Tuesday on her way to a
town north of Waterville was obliged
to wait for train and incidentally
walked over to where the Spring
Brook Co. was putting up it's winter
supply of ice. She felt that some of
the horses were overloaded and spoke
to the drivers about it. One man ad-
mitted that he had been taken up
three times but nothing had been
proved against him. Miss Boynton
said that she was only trying to do
her duty in a humane way and wanted
to see the animals we'll treated. She
was told by a neighbor, who heard the
conversation. that her visit had done
some good because there were more
horses blanketed that day than ever
had been before. She said that the
horses came in from their trips drip
ping wet and stood without blankets
shivering in the cold air until the load
was housed and they started off for
another load Of ice.
Miss Boynton said that she had
taken pains to learn how much horses
should draw for a load and could dis
criminate between horses well kept and
hardened to their work and those that
were soft and not we'll kept. One of
the men with good looking horses, she
said, told her that three tons was a
good load for his pair. while another
driver with skinny" looking horses
said that he considered five and even
six tons a fair load. Miss Boynton
stated that she did the work because
of her great love of animals: She
| was born on a farm and was familiar
with. horses, of which her father had
several good ones. She worked in her
official capacity for four years without
compensation for what good she could
do

Senate Talks Awhile
on Naval Money Bill

Washington, Feb. 2S-The naval
appropriations bill as reported out
of committee carrying total Of
$496. 100000 an increase of 100000.
600 over the measure as adopted by
the House, was brought up in the
Senate, tonight, after a preliminary
debate of three hours. The roll call
on the question of taking up the bill
at once was 43 to Z.
Theb ill was brought upby Senator
Poindexter, Republican, Washington
and it's introduction was the signal
for disarmament proponents to take
the floor.
Senator .Borah, Republican, Idaho
the first speaker, declared it was not
his purpose to oppose an adequate
navy, but to see that the adequacy
was determined by proper considera.
ton of the bill.
IF considered carefully" he said,
'it will be impossible to pass the bill
within two or three days. 1t Is un-
wise tn take the bill through hastily
in the closing hours of this session"
Mr.. Borah asserted emphatically
that the bill was passed by the House
on assurances of it's leaders that II
would not be accepted if it was re-
turned by the Senate with a single
dollar added to it."
Costs of the British, Russian.
French and German naval construc-
ton in 1912 weer estimated at $2lO,.
100000 less than half the amount OF
the naval bill, Senator Borah said.
He recalled the failure of the allies
to 'overawe" the triple alliance IN
1914 by naval building and said the
same failure would be met by those
"who fear trouble from some source
and hope to overawe it by author
izing a stupendous building pro-
gram"
He added it was his judgmenN
ment that the race" between the
United States and Japan for naval
supremacy, was similar to tha'
waged between Germany and Grea'
Britain in 1913"

Judge Philbrook Explains
Judiciary Functions
To Members of Legion

Judge Warren C. Philbrook was the
speaker at the meeting of Bourque
Post Monday evening and his subject
was destined to give the members of
the Post some insight into the CO.
ordinate branches of the government
called the judiciary. He told them
how courts are organized, and point
ed out the difference between FEEDER
al and State courts. He told them
that when they met Judge Charles
F. Johnson, he wanted them to know
that he was connected with the Fed
eral courts and when they met him
he wanted them to know that he was
connected with the State courts. He
traced up the courts briefly, begin
ming with the trial justice, the most
modest form of court up through the
municipal and superior to the su-
preme court, giving the functions of
each and briefly explained what the
duties ard the work of the judges
are. He said that it is a prevalent
notion that all that judges have to do
is to preside at jury sessions. "As a
matter of fact" said the speaker,
that is the easiest part of the work. -
He then explained that the work out
side of jury trials consists of deter
mining the construction of wills, de-
termining the rights of property
through succession, interpreting con-
tracts. deeds, and in short, determin-
ing the rights of people to property
both real and personal, ascertaining
and determining the rights. duties
and liabilities of men under the con-
trfcts>the make. The talk was most
