Bowdoin College. Brunswick, Me-,
Aug. 19.-That Frank harrington OF
Augusta will be the president of this
years entering class at Bowdoin Is
the expectation of most undergrad
yates. The election is held early in
the fall and the honor usually goes
to a man who is already well known
when college opens.
Two years ago, Bob" Peary. the
son Of the great Arctic explorer, was
chosen president of his class. Last
years freshman leader was Harold
G. Littlefield of Wells. the star
hurdler from Hebron, who was we'll
known to prep school men all over
the State. Littlefield was ineligible
this spring, but showed his stuff by
running practically even with Nal
Hardy, Bowdoin's veteran hurdler,
in daily practice. Littlefield is tall.

strength and plenty Of willingness to

a champion of him.

boy athlete ever had. He has been

record of 9 4-5 seconds for the hum

Coach Ostorgren has right to
smile when Harrington reports this
fall for early football practice. He
strips at 175-1S0 and football togs
seem to have little effect on his ten
second stride. He has played half
back, fullback. and quarter. He has
weight enough to plug the line. speed

steer clear of scholastic rocks and

OTHERS DEFENDANTS
IN SUIT FOR S84,267

5ohn E. Liggett of New York and
st. Louis. former resident of Maine
and at one time treasurer of the Re-
publican State committee here, has
been made defendant in a suit for
$S4,267 filed in the Supreme Court by

of hiding from his creditors, are An
thony j. DreXel, Jr., and George +.
Naphen, who Mrs. Liggett alleges,
were her husbands partners in the
stock exchange firm of Liggett and
Drexel in 1913. She claims that in
order to keep the business going she
contributed cash. securities, and
Jewels. Afterwards Naphen assumed
entire control of affairs and the debts
of the firm, but he denies that any
thing is due Mrs. Iiggett from him.
1t is claimed by Mrs. Liggett that
the securities. consisting of railroad
and steamship bonds and five City of
Paris bonds. were lent to the defend
ants at their request in order that
they might be able to borrow money
on them, and the understanding was.
! according to her, that they should be
returned on demand. She also claims
that she allowed the defendants to
pledge $4,000 worth Of jewelry for
loans and that she lent them $7OOO
in cash.

ing listened to a splendid sermon by
the Rev. Walker Gwynne. d. D.. of
Summit. N. J. DR.. Gwynne chose as
his text Lord. to Whom Shall We
Coz" and his exposition Of this text
was most brilliant and closely followed
by his hearers. The Rev. DR.. Gwynne
is a former rector of st. Marks. hav-
ing been located here from 1883 to
1894, and it was during his rectorshp
that the present st. Marks church edi-
flee was erected. DR.. Gwynne was par
ticularly pleased to see In the congre-
CATION Sunday the faces of some who
were members of his parish 80 years
ago, but 80 years bring many changes.
and of his former parishioners there
are not. perhaps, more than a score
now left.
st. Marks was further honored Sum
day by the presence of the Right Rev.
DR.. Francis. bishop of Indianapolis,
who is an old friend of the present
rector of the church, Rev. Stuart Il.
Purves. D. d. DR.. Francis was the

Alfred Y. Tong was just closing
the Young China Restaurant on up

day morning. and as he went to the
back or river side of the restaurant,
he Was in time to see a man just
climbing over the rail of the ball
'cony which overhangs the riverbank,
some twenty feet below. Tong OBJ
served that two others were holding
a piece of timber for the first man
to climb to reach the balcony. The
men saw Mr.. Tong at about the same
time. Tong went into the restaurant
for q revolver and on returning to
the river balcony they had jumped
down and were scurrying away up
figures were just visible in the gray
light preceding the dawn and Mr..
Tong gave chase. emptying the con-
tents of a Colts 40 automatic in their
general direction.
The matter was reported to the
police station by the intrepid res
taurant proprietor. and two officers
were at once sent to the scene, but
a rigid search failed to disclose their
hiding place. Mr.. Tong believes that
from the way they started when he
appeared with the gun, and gave
them evidence of his army training
and familiarity in the use of the au-
tomato. that they are running yet
and will not give anyone else any
trouble around here for some time.

Cost of Living
GIG Per Cent Higher

New York, Aug. 19.-The cost of liv-
ing in the United States on July Is,
1928, was 61.9 per cent. higher than in
July, 1914, according to an investiga-
ton by the National Industrial Confer
ence Board. Between June Is and July
Is, 1928, there was an increase of is
points or IL per cent. This was
brought about by continued advances
in the cost of food and clothing and
further increases in rents, a statement
said.
Fuel prices were little lower, while
manned unchanged. Between July.
1920, when the peak of the rise in the
cost of living since 1914 was reached,
and July. 1893, the cost of living drop
ped 42.6 points or 20.S per cent. With
in this three-year period a number of
shifts in costs occurred. Food and
clothing prices and the average cost of
all sundries combined were lower in
1923 than in 1920. Rents, on the other
hand. in 1923 were at the highest av-
erage yet reached for the country as a
whole. Coal prices. after mounting
much higher during the winter of 1922
1928. in July. 1929, were at the same
lever as in July. 1920.

type, No. 25S, and was in charge
of L. r. Dorr When it reached the
siding the front trucks took the
main line tracks while the rear
trucks started out on the siding.
this brought the car at right angles
across the tracks and the front end
struck n pole breaking it off short.
There was little damage to the car
and a crew fom the car sheds soon
had it back on the rails. While the
car was off the irons it was neces-
sary to transfer passengers on the

There have been several attempted
breaks in houses in various parts of
the city recently. The crude me-
thods used would seem to indicate
that either small boys or exceeding
ly amateurish burglars have been at
work. About a week ago an attempt
was made to enter a residence on
lower Sewall street. which was closed
for the summer, and one night last
week. someone placed a ladder
against a bay window projection on
a house on High street and left
marks on the shingles. where they
had evidently sought to climb into
the window above this bay window
roof.
