Peter Mekaig Sets Mark at 20 "a

hennebunkport, Mar. 4.-The rail-
birds at the local speedway were
treated to the best racing in the his
tory of the winter sport here when
Peter Mckaig and Buster II. raced
three neck and neck, hair raising
heats in a matched number this af-
ternoon, the McKaig entry winning
the race in straight heats after
smashing the course record with 20
"a seconds in the second heat. The
record of 30 fiat was made by Peter
Alto, Cliff Cards Portland gelding, in
the kennebunkport Forest City club
joint met week ago, and it was ex-
pected to stand for the season.
There was 4 big crowd on hand for
the McKaig- Buster II. duel and they
got their moneys worth in this one
event. Each of the three heats was
wire to clash and the three finishes
were Of the eyelash variety. Cocoa
Cola was hardly up to expectations
and Sam Hurst took the Class A pace
in straight heats. George Eayes
teamed DR.. Harvey to split heat
win over Wilbur s.. the latter refus-
ing to score in anything like good
form.
The other winners We're Mike o.

letter addressed to RS. Mary Venza.
whose mutilated body was found last
Friday near the John q. Rockefeller

in an automobile. killed her with q
stilleto and fed. after throwing the

Identification of the body as that OF

BURNS Held FOR APRIL COURT
CHARGED With 70 RCERY, CHEATING

Did he represent TO you that he
needed money to pay to one Anna
Laid for his education""
Yes"
Did YOU discover those allegations
TO be false?"
YES"
And so on. Mr. Dean testified that
because of those allegations he gave
Burns four checks for the sums Of
$500, $1,000, $500 and $500. Two of
the checks We're produced and identi
fed by Mr.. Dean. One was for the
sum of $500 and made payable to the
according to Burns was to be pail
to one. Anna Ladd, for money ad-
vanced for his education. SO to make
sure that the money would be paid
to Anna Ladd and no other, he en-
dOrsed it on the back. Pay only to
Anna I.add." and signed his name.
The check. when produced in court,
showed that the words Pay only to
Anna Ladd," had been erased with ink
oradicator and Mr.. Deans signature
remained, under which Lisle l.. Burns
had endorsed the check and collected
the money. The other check for $1,000
was made payable to the order Of
James l.. Dean and endorsed on the
back. "Pay to Richardson Hill and
Co. James l.. Dean AS in the case
Of the first one. Dean identified it
and stated that it had come back with
the same sort of an arasure.
There were few sidelights on the
situation that were not brought out
at the preliminary hearing that came
to light Saturday. One was in re-
gard to the loan asked of Mr.. Dean in
the matter Of the French bonds. 1t
seems that young Burns went to Bos-
ton and using the Touraine hotel
stationery wrote a letter to Mr.. Dean
purportlng to come from the cashier
OF the First National Bank of Boston
and recommending himself (Burns)
as person to whom it would be
safe to make loan. Mr.. Dean was
asked If he received such a letter and
he said that he had. There are sew
eral other letters bearing upon the
case that will no doubt come out in
the trial if any defense is made.
At the close of the examination OF
the witness. Judge Atchley turned to
Burns attorney, Frank Plurlstead
and asked if there were any ques-
tons. There We're none and Judge
.\tchley then pronounced his decision
as above. He gave the two checks
used by the State as evidence, into
the custody Of John f. Nelson and
the hearing was closed. Burns was
taken back to his cell at the police
station where he STAYED until he
went to Augusta.

Parties Cast Ballots
in Municipal Election
Today; Polls Open at 6

Today is municipal election day and
the polls will be open from in the
morning until at night. Both par
ties have first class men at the head
of their tickets and both parties are
going to put in a hard days york to
win. Singularly enough, too, both
would-bc mayors are in favor of bul.d-
ing a schoolhouse, and as public opin-
ion is about ripe for such action
neither has an edge on the other by
putting that plank in his platform.
The method of financing the matter
must necessarily be one of two ways.
There is a good deal of talk among
the Republicans about clean city
They seem to think il Chester w.
Gctchell is elected mayor he will put
in an entirely new set of men, UNI
tainted by the political bug. and get
some straight work for the good of the
city. Not word has been heard
however, as to who any Of these men
might be. At present Mr.. Getchell
says if he is elected mayor he viii
so into office without any strings at
tached 20 him and knows he can fill
the office to the salts faction of the
people.
Leon 0. Tebbctts. the Democratic
candidate. has laid down a definite
policy so that all may know for what
he stands. The fact that he favors
the policy OF securing and maintain
ing additional playground facilities for
children is a strong point for him.
There are no women candidates in
either party except for the school
hoard. There will be at least one
woman elected on the board of cduca-
ton, as the candidates in both parties
in ward four are women. Ward four
is a Republican ward and it seems
probable that Mrs. Harriet V BcsscE
will be elected to that position. There
is a good deal of conjecture however
as TO whether ward four. which is Mr.
Tebbctts ward. will give him a conf
plimentary vote.
1t is believed by many that the vote
Will be close. but Of that the votes
only will tell. The main thing. they
say. is to vote early and only once.

Thieves Get $54 at
College Bookstore;
Visit Other Places

In the silent hours of the early
morning the Colby Campus was in
vaded by a thief or band of thieves.
When Galen Eustis and Willard Cur
tbs. proprietors Of the college book
store, left the store Friday night
there was fifty-four dollars in the till
and then they returned in the morn
ing the fifty-four dollars was not in
the till.
The upper sash Of the window to
the right of the entrance of Recita-
ton hall ordinarily has six whole
panes Of glass. Saturday morning
there We're only five whole panes and
the broken pane was the one over
the window lock. Also the light of
glass in the bookstore door was on
the floor. in several hundred pieces.
The only thing in the store that APP
peared to have been touched was the
money till as most of the stock con-
sists of text books.
Right next door to the bookstore
is the Office of Frank Hubbard, the
college treasurer. The lock on this
door shows evidence Of tampering but
the thief was evidently unsuccessful.
One building was evidently not
enough as several panes of glass
have been broken out of Organic Ia
boratory in Chemical hall. After
gaining entrance to the building the
parties broke the glass of the door
that leads into the chemical stock
room and the remains were found on
the floor the next morning.
Evidently the thief did not secure
what he was after here because there
are no signs Of anything being dis
turbed. This is not the first time
that Chemical hall has been troubled
with in the past year. All of the
work shows evidence of amateur
work. A hammer seems to have been
the main instrument used.
