Belfast, Me-, April 9.-Mayor Or
lando T.. Frost has been elected
treasurer pro tenn of Belfast, and
Alderman Norris l.. Stugg, acting
clerk, to look after the affairs of
the city until the accounts Of the
missing clerk and treasurer, Charles
S. Bickford. can be put into such
shape that some one else can take
the Office. While nothing has de-
vclopcd to cause the slightest suspi-
cion as to the honesty of Bickford,
his books are found to be in a very
unsatisfactory condition, some of
them a year behind with many in
diCations of carelessness. Nathan
III. Small, an expert accountant, Rep.
William X. Kecne, EX- Mayor Wcs-
colt and one of his clerks and others
have been working for several days
trying to straighten matters out.
According to Mayor Frost today. he
is of the belief that Mr.. Bickford,
realizing his clerical work was be-
hind and that it looked almost hope
less that he could catch up with it
and go OH with the routine work
too. suddenly decided to quit Had
he taken any one into his confidence
and expressed Il desire to have help
this would have been provided. 1t
is the general opinion now that Mr..
Bicktord was the man seen on the
train going from Searsport TO North
crn Maine Junction. But there tho
trail is COMPLETELY lost.

Essen, April . By A. P.)-The OK
plosion of time bomb destroyed
the lock of the Dortmund- Ems canal
near Hernc early today. The canal
was effectually blocked, interfering
seriously with the complicated. in
land waterway traffic in the Euhr.
This is the most serious case Of
sabotage reported on the Euhr wat
erWays. The lock that was destroyed
is near the junction Of the BORT
mund Ems canal with the main
canal thc' runs down to the Rhine at
DuisburS and Ruhrort where the
largest inland port in the world is
located:
The intention of the dynamitcrs
apparently was not only to block
tn canal but to drain the water
from the main Rhine Hcrne canal
which is the main waterway artery
Of tho Huhr.
TIE French say this main canal
has not been interfered with. as the
locks on both sides of the one which
was dynamited were closed imme-
diately after the explosion to prevent
the draining of the main canal.
The Dortmund-E,m canal is block
ed by the destruction of the lock-
Guards have been placed at all juno
tons and locks as a measure for
prevention of further damage.
The circumstances Of the eXlao-
sion indicated that the bomb had
been placed with great care under
dlf1lcult circumstances. 1t blew out
the gate and tore large hole in the
side of the canal.

panied when he attempted to reply
TO questions to find that his throat

in almost inaudible tones
In the prime minister's encourage
it was stated that although he is only
suffering from a relaxed throat there
is no likelihood that he will be able
to deliver a speech for some time to
come. and this has revived the ru-
mors of his possible return to an
early date, which have been more
persistent.
