Make Maine
Movies Safe

Insurance Commissioner G. Wal
don Smith said Friday that to make
the movies in Maine safe for the
thousands Of men. women and chill
dren who patronize. them is the sole
aim Of the campaign recently begun
by the insurance department in a let
ter of warning sent to the municipal
officers of every city. town and village
throughout the State
1.-THE response has been overwhelm-
ingly gratifying" continued Com
missioner Smith.
Hundreds of letters and telephone
calls have been received calling at
tention to lax conditions existing in
various places. Inquiries for addi-
tional informations and requests for
copies of the law have also been re-
ceived.
ITO the messages informing the
department where serious conditions
prevail, immediate steps have been
taken to fully investigate and remedy.
In no instance has any refusal or I'M
willingness to comply with the de-
partment's orders been done.
Making the movies safe for Maine
will become a verita5le fact, not
theory, and this is clearly indicated
by the spirit that has met the appeal
of the department"

MODIFY RULING
ON MOTOR TRUCKS

The State Highway commission at
its meeting Friday modified it's gen
eral order which went into effect
March %, and which limited the
gross weight of motor trucks to three
tons, and of horse drawn vehicles to
two tons on improved gravel roads
over which the State has jurisdiction.
by lifting the ban on all gravel sec
lions OF State road between Kittery
and Bath. The only weight restric-
ton now on any part of this road is
that fixed by general statute. New
Hampshire has lifted the ban on the
State road from Kittery to the Mass
achusetts line and this leaves a clear
road from Bath to Boston.
The general law of the State of
Maine limits the gross weight to nine
tons, when distributed over four
wheels and IS IL tons when distrib-
uted over siv wheels or more, provi-
ded that there is not more than 49,
800 pounds on any one axle, nor
more than 700 pounds to inch width
of tire.
All out of the State. trucks, trac-
tors and trailers coming into Maine
must be registered and must display
Maine registration plates. The State
highway commission has officers sta
toned at different places along the
line and all out of the State trucks
not registered in Maine are being
held up and the drivers made to reg
lister the vehicle before proceeding.
This feature of the law will be rigid
~ enforced by the commission.
which strongly advises that all out of
the state CONNIE rcial vehicles sent
into Maine should be equipped with
Maine plates before starting out on
the trip.

WARD IS REARRESTED
 FOR PETERS, MURDER

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., May 27.- Walter s. Ward, the son of the baker who has made Wards bread famous throughout the east, was re-arrested today charged with the killing of Clar- ence Peters, of Haverhill, Massachu- setts. The body of the dead man was found near the Kensino Reservoir nearly month ago, and the coroner's jury returned verdict of homicide, caused by bullet wounds inflicted by person unknown. The police had been unable to solve the mystery of the death until about a week ago when young Ward confessed to the sheriff that he had killed Baker. In extenu- ation of the act Ward claimed that for ten days prior to the shooting he had been victim of blackmail at the hands of Peters.

MAY RECONYENE OLD CHINESE
 PARLIAMENT

PEKING, May 27.-The mix-up in Chinese affairs following the defeat of Chang Tso-Lin by General Wu Pei flu, is engaging the attention of the leading statesmen of the Flowery Elm pire. Competent foreign political ob- servers here believe that public opin ion in China is in favor of reconvening the old parliament. The Chinese press of the capital is printing dis patches from the principal cities. of the empire endorsing this view. The delegates are assembling gradually from various cities, gathering at Canton. Shanghai, and Tientsin. The preliminary gathering in these cities is in anticipation that the parliament will soon be formally convoked by Wu Pei-fu, to dictator of Central China, and asked to assume the control and direction of national affairs.
