SENTENCE IN LIQUOR CASE
NEAR END OF CRIMINAL DOCKET

The principal cases occupying the
Superior court Thursday were those
against Lewis Levine of Gardiner on
a search and seizure count, and the
case against Danilo Paplafski of
North NaSSalboro for assault and
battery in the Levine case the re-
spondcnt had been found guilty of
the Illegal possession Of 2SS bottles
Of vanilla in the Gardiner municipal
court and had appealed. This case
occupied most of the days session.
and after some three quarters of an
hours dcibcration, the jury returned
a verdict of guilty. Levine was or
derod to pay a fine of $500 and costs
of $50 and to serve. a sentence of SIX
months in Jail, with six months adj
ditional in default of payment. The
respondent was placed on probation
on the payment of fine and costs.
He paid.
In the case of State VS.. Joseph
Lessor ct al of Watcrvillc for break
ing and entering and the larceny OF
20 hens, Lessor Withdrew his pre-
vious plea of not guilty and pleaded
nolo. That the judge might be ac-
quainted with the circumstances of
the case, Lessor took the stand and
testified as to the details. Sentence
was withheld until Friday. that Les
sor might give evidence in the trial
of Henry Brigham, indicted jointly
with him, who pleaded not guilty.

'munlcIpl court, occupied tie court the
rest of the forenoon. Sheriff CAsfn-
mnsS testified to receiving COM
plants and of swearing out a war
rant for the search of the Levine
fruit and grocery store at Gardiner
at which time Deputies Robinson of
Watcrvillc and Lessor of Watervillc
seized 2SS bottles of vanilla extract.
DEPUTY +. l.. Robinson gave evil
dence as to the nature of the business
conducted by Levine and of the find
ing of the vanilla behind the tobacco
counter in the store. The extracts
seized were brought into the court
room, identified and admitted as
States exhibits. Deputy Frank Les
sor testified substantially the same.
The State resteu its case here.
Attorney Goodspecd, counsel for
the defense, after outlining his case,
called Levine to the stand, who testi-
fled that he carried full line of
groceries as well as fruit in his
store. On redirect examination
Levine could not give very much in
formation as to the volume of his
business in the grocery and provision
line, and admitted that compared to
hi. single case purchases of various
canned goods, the extract on hand
at the time of the seizure on Feb. 3
was a considerable quantity, but ex-
planned that by purchasing from the
wholesaler in gross lots, he was
given q bonus of a dozen two ounce
bottles. A recess was taken until 2
O'Clock in the afternoon.
Special police officer Watson of
Gardiner called for the defense, tes-
titled to his almost daily observance
of the Levine store and gave evil
dence to the effect that the store
was of a reputable character.

TO REPEAT 4TH OF JULY PAGEANT
AS AN REORGANIZATION PROJECT

The Augusta AUGMENTATION asso-
ciation at meeting voted Thursday
to repeat the pageant, which was
given last summer as part or the
4th of July celebration. A commit
tee was authorized TO confer with H..
Price Weber and Secretary G.. G.
Clarke. who had charge of the per-
Torrance last season to ascertain
whether of not it would be practic-
able TO repeat the piece and what
steps are necessary.
The speaker OF the afternoon was
L. L. Murphy. who has charge of
citizenship training work i'll Angus
ia. lie gave a most interesting &C
count Of the way in which this work
is conducted and suggested definite
ways in which the Augusta Amer
iCanization association can cooperate
in making this work a success.
Mr.. Murphy said in part: "CitiZcn-
ship training is the big problem
which confrontS our government to-
day. The task of educating the for
eiSncr in knowledge of our laws,
customs and language is Il large one.
The Division of Citizenship Training
has established schools for the adj
vancement of such prospective citl-
zens in all parts of the country. We
have. right here in Augusta, an eX-
cellent school from which we arc get
ting excellent results"
THE way in which we conduct this
work is about as follows: We take
the alien and place in his hands GER
tain text books furnished by the
Division which are the result of very
careful thought and a full knowledge
of the needs of the situation. In fact
the books were made up from ma
tcrial submitted by teachers in eve
ming schools in all parts of the coun-
try The work, at first consists in
simple object lessons. followed later
by the learning of simple words and
sentences. You will be surprised at
the rapid progress made and the
eagerness with which the alien learns
American words, and American Gus
toms. In the more advanced reading
we emphasize American history and
civics.
CAS- soon as a foreigner comes to
our attention we impress upon him
the desirability of becoming an Amer
lean citizen. The Bureau of Natura-
lization furnishes Us with the neces-
sary forms used in naturalization
process.
"a great deal can be done by our
American people if they will use
their influence and lend encourage
ment SO that the evening school
classes may have increased attend
ance THIS work is all free and
great opportunity is offered to every
alien to get an education without
cost to him. Sometimes he needs but
Ian encouraging word and he will en-
roll.

Three large patrols of Boy Scout S
were organized Thursday afternoon at
the Jail workshop by Morris Narncy
and Jack Hyde. About 80 boys were
present at the mass meeting which was
held there and all were enthusiastic
over the idea Of forming the troops. 1t

mcnt that there will be two troops in
the city shortly as there are many
more who will want 10 join in this
work.
The three patrols were organized
Thursday and their makeup will be
given at the end of this article. The
leaders have not been chosen for the
patrols. but Mr.. Narncy and Mr.. Hyde
Will lead tho troop.
1t is the intention of the leaders to
run this troop on military principles
with military discipline as one of the
first things to be taken up. The boys
will be taught the meaning Of discipline
and the training which they will re-
ceiye in this way will be of great value
to them all through life.
The usual scout program with merit
badges as rewards for faithful service
will be carried on and the various pa
trolls Will be in inter-trocp contests
which Will keep the interest at a max
imum.
Friday evening. April 90, has been Sc
lcctcd as the time the boys will take
their Tenderfoot tests. They will then
work to become second and first class
scouts, various tests being required
before they are admitted to these
classifcations.
The boys Will wear the regular scout
uniform and will be drilled in all
phases of scout work. Meetings will
probably be held weekly at which they
VIII receive proper instruction in the
various duties of good scout.
At the meeting Thursday. e. p.
Noyes of the Central Maine Power Co.
was present as part of the Safety
Week program and explained to the
boys the prone pressure or Schaeffcr
method of artificial resuscitation. using
one of the boys as subject. The boys
were much interested in this work and
many questions were asked about it.
The following patrols have been or
ganized and are awaiting the troop

attractive hats which they Wore were
from the millinery store Of Gregoric-

The suits and dresses were from
the EloSS and Littauer company of
New York, which claims the distinc-
ton OF being the Originators of the
Stylish Stouts. The coats were from
the Inger Stylish Coat Co. OF New
York. Many of the models which
were shown, Thursday are already in
stock in Mr.. Mcrrll's display cases.
Much surprise was expressed by the
women to learn that such an extern
slve line was carried there.
There were poiret twill suits in
navy blue. boatsing that fatterng
low waist line. trim shoulder lines
and specially designed skirt styles.
Some of the figured dresses were
trimmed with self panels. And a
narrow dark band Of contrasting
color on the panel, added tallness to
the model. The figured dresses in
crepe de chine were lovely. But the
patterns were not too large. another
secret in the stylish stout trade.
