Chautauqua, November 11-f4

Those who enjoyed the Swarthmore
Chautauqua last year will be glad
to know that the dates assigned for
Hallowell are November 11-14. Last
year was the first time that the Chau-
tauqua had been here and most peo-
pie did not know what to expect.
They found that there were four days
crowded with inspiring talks. popular
and classical music, wholesome en-
tertainment, and plenty of sport for
the children. The boys have not for
gotten what good time they had.
They are going to have another this
year for the junior leader always
knows what the boys and girls like
best to do. The grownups. too. will
find program full of interest-that
they cannot afford to miss. For
tunately, the artists will be here
over Sunday so that Hallowell will
have Chautauqua for four days in
stead of three. These should be red
letter days for Hallowell. Remember

Rebuilding At Granite
Hill After Fire Loss

Lumber has been procured and the
rebuilding of the carpenter shop and
the machine shop, which were among
the buildings destroyed in the recent
fire at the Granite Hill quarry, is well
under way.
A question which has caused much
controversy during the past few weeks
is that concerning the engraving of
the stone for the outside decoration of
the courthouse in New York which the
Cutler Construction Co. of New York
City is under contract to build. Rumor
has it that it will be done in the local
granite sheds, since the cost of labor
in New York is so much greater than
it is in this city. The Hallowell cut
tiers feel confident that they will get
this work, although there is slight
possibility that it may be done in
Massachusetts.

othy Phillips
No stronger leading man could
have been found to support the
dainty Dorothy Phillips in Allen
Holubar's Associated First National
production. MAN Woman Marriage, t"
than James kirkwood, hero of hun
dred thrilling screen romances.
Kirkwoods remarkable ability and
his great strength of character made
him peculiarly fitted for the role Of
David Courtney, next to Miss Phil
lips, the hardest role of this magnifi-
cent super drama.
Throughout the various episodes
and many retrospective eras Of "Man-
Woman Marriage Kirkwood has
proved his great histrionic talent.
As the young attorney, who won the
heart of the star in the early part
of the film, and as the corrupt poll
tician and convict he cannot help
but win first, the sympathy and then
the pity of the American movie fan.
kirkwood's many years OF exper-
ience on the legitimate stage predes-
tined him to be one of the foremost
men of the screen. In the pioneer
days of the motion picture Kirkwood
left the stage for a screen career.
He first came into prominence in the
silent drama in the days of the old
Biograph. Since that time he has
played leads in many of the best
films produced.
He will long be remembered for
his work in Ewes Daughter" 1.-THE
Luck of the Irish," I'm tie Heart of

Plan to Send
Tariff Bill to
Harding Next Week

Washington, Sept. IA second
agreement on the administration
tariff bill was reached tonight by the
Republican conferees and it was the
hope Of majority leaders in the
House and Senate to have the meas
ure ready for President Harding by
the end of this week or early next
week.
In accord with the expressed direc-
ton of the House, the conferees
eliminated the dye embargo licensing
provision which they previously had
reinserted into the bill and the one
and one-half cents pound duty OIL
potash. In lieu of the embargo. tie
managers increased the rates pro-
posed on dyes and synthetic chemt-
Gals and medicines, the products OF
coal tar.
For the first two years the duties
would be seven cents a pound and
So per cent. ad valorem on inter-
mediates and seven cents pound
and 90 per cent. on the finished pro-
ducts. while after two years, they
would be seven cents pound and 40
per cent. on the intermediates and
seven cents a pound and A. per cent.
on the finished products. In all cases
the ad valorems would be based on
American valuation, that is the
wholesale selling price in the Amer
lean market.
The duties formerly agreed upon
by the conferees were seven cents a
pound and so per cent on interme-
dates and seven cents a pound and
90 per cent on the finished product.
with the ad valorem based on for
eign valuation. The Senate duties
were 10 10 cents pound and Is per
cent in the one case and 10 IL cents
a pound and 80 per cent. in the other
case, while the House duties were
seven cents a pound and 30 per cent.
in the one case and seven cents a
pound and 45 per cent. in the other.
Under both House and Senate bills
the ad valorems were on American
valuation.
The conferees were in session for
more than three hours with the dye
duties as the stumbling block.

Especial to Kennebec Journal)

tSDEcidl 10 hGIllltDSC
Brunswick, Me, Sept. 1.-THE
Brunswick police station tonight was
filled with furniture, dishes, pre-
serves. bedding, clothing and toys
which the police recovered after
searching the residences of Theodore
Caron on Bow street and Joseph
Elijah Thompson on the Merriconeag
road, following complaints that the
bungalow of Miss Emily Talbot of
South Byfield. Mass. and the house
Of Roscoe Stevens on Great Island
had been broken into and ransacked.
The chance discovery of an I'M
usual shaped horse shoe which could
be traced to the Thompson farm was
the first clue the police had to work
on. Tonight they had Caren, Thomp-
son, the latters sister, Mrs. Jennie
Monroe and ALERT Ducharme under
arrest. charged with breaking and
entering in the night time and With
receiving stolen property.
1t is expected that the quartet will
be arraigned in the municipal court
tomorrow. A part of the goods re-
covered including trunk filled Nth
bedding and clothing was found
buried beneath the hen house on the
Thompson farm. A pathetic feature
Of the case is that Thompson is the
father of six small children, the
youngest only four months of age,
and Mrs. Thompson told the police
tonight that she had no money and
barely enough food in the house for
breakfast. Thompson was not APP
pretended until nearly midnight,
while the others We're arrested early
in the evening.

IMPEACHMENT

Attorney General Daugherty and Fed
eral Judge Wilkerson, in connection
with the Chicago injunction proceed
Jugs and for bringing this unconsti-
tutona, conduct of the attorney gen
eral and Judge Wilkerson into every
congressional election"
President Gompers had already APP
proved the impeachment suggestion of
the Central Trades and Labor Council
of New York City and had given his
support to the movement for impeach-
ment begun in the House of Represent
atiyes.
Every possible effort will he made
to arouse the people of America to
the necessity that government by in
junction must stop" Mr.. Gompers'
statement said. "and that constitu-
tional government by law must gov
ern, if we are to perpetuate as a gov
eminent of free people.
"The executive council is not con-
cerned further with what Attorney
General Daugherty and Judge Wilker-
son may or may not do in respect to
the present injunction. 1t considers
that these men have fiagrantly thrown
the United States constitution to the
four winds and that by this action
they have demonstrated their unfit
ness to further trust in public office"
Steps have already been take to in
augurate Impeachment proceedings in
the House of Representatives. it was
announced by Matthew VOL. vice pres
ident Of the American Federation of
Labor and a member Of the executive
council.
Today's declaration. he said, was the
councils method Of acquainting the
public with its intention and ito pave
the way for the proceedings in Con-
gress." Asked who would Introduce
the impeachment proceedings in the
House. Mr.. Wolf said:
"Of course We cannot say that as
yet. We do not expect. however, to
have any difficulty of finding a man to
speak for US. That an attempt to start
impeachment proceedings has already
been made in Congress should be sufl-
Gent evidence that We will be able to
find a champion for our cause"
Mr.. Vol today reiterated the doubt
concerning the probable success Of inn
parchment proceedings, which he
voiced several days ago. when the
Central Trades and Labor Council of
New York City demanded that pro-
eeedings be inaugurated.

reading additional affidavits dur
ing the progress of the strike, the
defense announced 1t would seek 10
show the railroad executives were
in conspiracy to force strike in an
effort to wreck the unions.
"The government has sought to
show presumption of conspiracy
among the shopmen to carry out acts
of violence" attorneys for the de-
Tense said. I'VE will show a strong
presumption that certain rail exc

the unions.

bring on a strike and then did every
thing in their power to prevent
peace"
EVIDENCE which the unions could
not produce heretofore because 1t
might hurt their peace negotiations

presidents, can now he brought for
