So far as The Argus has been able to learn
there has not been an arrest Of single sus-
pect in the 0abel murder. That was bad
break ON the part Of the police department, the
one that cinched the belief in the public mind
that it was not free to arouse the wrath Of the
vice ring or its followers.

The Argus is not 80 dense as to not know
that man accused Of murder Is innocent until
he is proved guilty. but when a man is under
such general suspicion as are some Rock
Island outlaws in connection with the Gabel
murder the police authorities at least should
by questioning afford them opportunity to
clear their skirts. The public has about
reached the conclusion that the police are
afraid to proceed against the vice ring.

peared on Alden street at about 100,

whom they believed the ones against
whom they held the Crude. There was
a lively session for a few minutes
while, it is stated, the real pair who

peared who was able to restore order.

was somewhat serious, it was under

ternoon's practice was the best Of the
season.
Word has been received that Will
liam Widen Of Danvers, Mass, will
report soon at Brunswick. Widen is
a graduate Of Irving School at larry
town on the Hudson in New York
State. and was captain Of the eleven
at that school a year ago. He is rat
ed as a first-class player and as he
is lineman, he will doubtless be a
worthwhile addition to the Bowdoin
squad.
Bowdoin is the only Maine college
that does not open its season this
week, but the squad is working hard
nevertheless, and should be in excel
lent shape when they stack up
against Amherst on Sept. 80.
Morning and afternoon practice is
hel dregularly. with occasional short
lectures in the early evening, and this
will probably be continued until the
opening Of college on the 2Sth, a
week from Thursday.
