PAGEANT OF AMERICAnISM
TO Be GIVEN IN JUNE BY
AUGMENTATION ASSO'N.

A Pageant Of Americanism will be
undertaken under the auspices of the
Augusta Americanization Association
as a means Of portraying wildly
what It means to be an American
citizen. This pageant will probably
be given in June and will include
scenes depicting the outstanding
facts Of American history so that all
who behold it may realize how brave
men and women have made possible
this great nation that is ours.
Plans for this pageant were dis
cussed at the meeting of Augusta
Americanization Association which
was held Thursday afternoon at the
Chamber of Commerce assembly
hall. A committee Of six was APP
from lines already written or from
lines to be composed by local peo-'
pie. This may be a big order to fill,
but, judging from the amount of lit
erary talent that has been displayed
here in the past, and the amount of
dramatic talent that is always ready
for cali, Augusta ought to be able to
produce something really good.
The idea back of the plan is to
interest foreign born residents Of Au-
gusta in citizenship through their
children. The children of American
parentage and those of foreign born
parentage will be alike used in the
production and the pageant will be
open to the public.
The committee in charge is COM
posed as follows: Mrs. l. B. Peters,
chairman, Miss Corinne Paine, Mrs
Fernald. Mrs. Sheldon, Mrs. New
man, Mrs. Donovan. and G.. c.
Clarke.
The association also voted to adopt
the program previously submitted
for approval and to select two Or
three of its most important planks
for immediate attention.

Nash History Is
Read Before the
Kennebec Society

The Nash History of Augusta was
taken up Thursday. night at the
meeting of the Kennebec Historical
society which was held in Library
hall. This work is the result of much
labor on the part Of Charles E. Nash
and is fine history of Augusta UP to
1904. The history is not in chrome
logical order but is arranged accord
ing to special subjects and is a sep
arate history and not a supplement
to any other history. One volume is
very complete and copy Of it was
on exhibition Thursday night. The
other volume is in manuscript form
and much work remains to be done
in the way of filing out the dates
and other things.
The work contains a very COM
plete geneology of all the original
families Of this city as well as OF
many of a later date.
The reason for bringing the book
before the members of the Kennebec
Historical society was to see il the
society would take up the work.and
assist in the completion of the Sec
ond volume. Many extracts were
read from the work to give an idea
of what had been accomplished and
OF what was still left to do. The
members of the society were greatly
impressed by the work and the clear
and comprehensive knowledge which
it gave on many subjects connected
with the history of this city and Of
which little has been known.
President George Clarke asked If
the members felt that the society
would help with the work and If
some members who had the time
would volunteer. It was decided
however, to leave the work of organ
izing a committee to help on the his
tory until later date.
This meeting of the Historical So
ciety was especially well attended.
there being about So there. A num-
Der Of new members were admitted
which brings the total membership
up to IS. Much interest In the his
torical work is being shown by the
members and the society is taking on
new life.

Cony Holds First
Outdoor Practice
for Baseball Team

The first practice of the season was
enjoyed Thursday afternoon by
about so of the Cony High boys who
are out to make the team. There is
some good material left from last
year and some more that has de-
veloped and been acquired since last
year. The indications at this time
are that Cony High will be repre-
scented by a fine team this year.
The practice Thursday was simply
to timber up the men without Strain
ing their arms. Passing was in or

tice for the outfielders. The work.

Others on the squad including Wins
low, Allison, Scribner. Milton Mer-
'rill, Goldberg and Gregoire.
Cecil Stiles has been elected as
manager and he has made out good
schedule of IL games which will re-
'quire about two games a week from
Patriots day until the end Of school.
THE captain of the team has not yet
been elected but he will be elected
before the first game. There are
three letter seniors out for the team
and the chances are that one Of
these three will be elected.
There IS no doubt that the fans of
this city will see some good prep
school games here this year and
that the Cony team will come
through the season with a good rec
ord as she always does.

Aims Gun at Head,
Shoots Four Times,
Gets Bad Headache

Special TO The Tribune.
Billings, June 24.-Although he fired
four bullets at himself in an attempt
at suicide after he had shot his sister
in-law through the leg. Fred d. Mill,
former manager of a big grocery store
here, suffered little more than a severe
headache from his wounds Thursday.
Two bullets glanced from his forehead
and the other two missed entirely, 60
ing through the brim of his hat.
Charges against Mills have not been
filed pending the outcome of the wound
inflicted IN Mrs. Henry H. Stroh. the
sister-in-laW. Doctors fear infection.
Mill believed that Mrs. Stroh had
urged his wife to obtain the divorce
recently granted. and, finding her in
his yard, produced the 80 caliber re-
volver. As she fell, he turned the gun
on himself.
Mill speaks five languages, and was
considered a valuable executive by the
owners of the large grocery store which
he managed.

UNION D|CTAT|0N
SCORED BY MYERS
ON SENATE FLOOR
Upholds Principle That Men
Are Entitled to Work as
Free Citizens.

Washington, June 24-The south
ern Illinois mine disorders were held
up by Senator Myers, democrat, Mon
tana, in the senate Saturday, as
proof" that there is no free America
and a justification for the assertion
long as American citizens cannot work
where, when. for whom and at what
ever price they choose without seek
ing the consent Of an invisible govern
ment, an organized minority.
The Montana senator read to the
senate news dispatches %recounting de-
tails of the disorders in the Herrin dis
trict. declaring them to be more hOr-
rible than those committed by the Ger
mans during the war, atrocities which
men stood here on this floor and con-
demned in the most vigorous fashion,
He asserted that most of the VIC
TINS of the massacre were men guilty
only of the crime of exercising their
constitutional right of earning an hon
est days wage.
Senator Borah. republican. of Idaho,
made inquiry as to whether they were
there in good faith or as strikebreak-
ers". The Montana senator replied
that it made no difference.
I'VE call this free America" he con-
tinued. "and as free American citizens
those men were attempting to sell what
they had to dispose of, their labor.
They found men who wanted to buy
that labor. The price was arranged.
The men went to work. They have
a constitutional right to be perfected
in that work. Their employers have
the right TO be protected in hiring
them,
