Large Amount Money
Spent to Advertise
Attractions of Maine

Charles D. Kidder, field seer etary
Of the Maine Publicity bureau was in
this city yesterday to confer with DR..
}. Frederick Hill, representative of
the bureau in this district and Mrs.
Florence M. Wallace, secretary of
the Wate"ville- WinsloN Chamber of
Comm cree.
Mr.. Kidder is looking for photo
graphs taken in this vicinity to be
used by the Bureau for the 104 page
booklet soon to be issued concei niEg
the summer attractions Of Maine.
Mr.. Kidder spoke of the great in
crease of money being spent to adj
vertise Maine saying that this year
$4,000 was spent for a -vertising in
papers and magazines as far west as
Kansas City, Mo. He feels that the
greatest attraction of central Maine
Is the Belgrade lakes which are sit
uated nearer Wate-ville than any
other city. He commended the Wat
erville Chamber for the efficient man
ner in which many of the highways
leading into the city are marked,
saving that proper marking Is a great
asset to the city.
Mr.. Kidder brought with him a
sheet bearing statistics to show the
growth of the valuation of property
in the state of Maine. Twenty years
ago in kennebec courty the assessed
valuation of the property of residents
was $4,000, 900, at the present time
it Is S27,000,00O The valuation of
the property of non -resident tax pay
crs has increased from 100000 20
years ago to 100000 or 800 per
cent.
Mr.. Kidder declared that these
figures showed that it payed to in
crease the number of summer visitors
in the state.
Speaking of the state as a whole,
Mr. Kidder said that the valuation 20
years ago Of resident property
was 100000 and at the present
time was $131, 100000 which goes to
show that the advertising of the re-
sources of the state during that time
might have increased the total nom
three hundred million dollars. Mr..
Kidder mentioned that the tourist
business had increased about 20 per
cent this year over 1929.
Mr.. Kidder dcplored the fact that
Maine people seem to think that the
beauties of the state are not extra
ordinary and he suggests that any
one doubling this should go to some
spot during the summer where one
can look off over a chain of Maine
lakes banked by hills and mountains
or down to the seashore where the
cliffs predominant and spend an hour.
He feels sure that during that time
scores of out of state auto parties
will have come along. stopped to ad-
mire the scenery and perhaps take a
few pictures.
Mr.. Kidder has just returned from
Montreal where he has been review
ing the winter sports situation. He
mentioned that in that city probably
$4,000 will be spent for winter sports
this year.

Pringle Director
World p. and II. Fed.

Henry N. Pringle, superintendent
Of the New York Society for the Pre-
yention of Crime, who conducted the
investigations this year for the pro-
secution of about 40 bookmakers on
New York tracks and recently made
complaint to Commissioner GlatZ-
mayer against alleged indecent shows
in theatcrs and cabarets, has ac-
cepted call as national law enforce
ment director for the World Prohibit
ton and Reform Federation beginning
with January /, (
Mr.. Pringle was previously engaged
in sim lar work for the international
Reform Bureau, founded by the late
DR.. Wilbur +. Crafts and conducted
investigations of the liquor traffic,
gambling and various promoted vices
in Boston, Louisville, New Orleans,
Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Wilmington
and more than 80 other cities. with
over 1900 convictions and fOrfeitures
of more than $200,00000 worth of
contraband devices and material.
In 1917, Mr.. Pringle had charge of the
Bureaus dry campaign in Porto Rico,
which voted out the liquor traffic by
$4,000 majority.
Three times Mr.. Pringle has been
beaten into inconsistencies by law
violato"s. but in % years of work has
never been prosecuted or sued. His
transfer from a Congregational pas
torate to reform work in 1901 fol-
lowed his leadership of successful
drive for the determination of IS sa-
looms in Il no-Hcense city where he
was then preaching.
Cities desiring Mr.. 'Pringle's SER
vices for cleanup campaigns should
lose no time in securing priority po-
sition on his schedule for 1924. Be-
ing one O. the ablest investigators in

saying that his time will be occu-
pied. Inquiries addressed to Fedora

FORMER UNITED STATES
OFFICER FOUND GUILTY
Jury Recommends Clemency for
Albert H. LOhm In Assault
on Little Girl

Guilty, with a recommendation for
mercy, was the verdict returned at
G:15 o'clock Tuesday evening in the
Harrison county criminal court at
Clarksburg, West Va, against Albert
L. Lohm, former United States Com
missioner, who was charged with
criminal assault upon a girl under the
age of sixteen years.
The jury had the case only an hour
and when the jurors filed into the
court room and the verdict was read
Lohm sat in his chair by his counsel
and wept like a child. The verdict
carries with it confinement in the
state penitentiary for not less than
five nor more than twenty years.
Without the recommendation the
penalty under a finding Of guilty
would have been capital punishment.
Following the report of the jury,
counsel for the defendant asked that
he be released or bond and his ten
thousand dollar bail piece was re-
newed returnable June 30.
