Ignorant Immigrants In
Havana Prey for Crooks

Havana, Oct. ga. r. by MaiD-
Careful estimates place at 5000 the
number of immigrants now in Ha-
vana. hoping in some way to be able
to get to the United States. They
include Spaniards, Germans, Poles.
Ukranians, and men from almost
every country in southern Europe.
Many of them, according to Arthur
c. Frost, the American consul, were
lured from their native land by
steamship agents who promised high
wages in the cane fields of Cuba
while waiting. And in addition
there are several thousand Cinnamon
whose only hope of entry is in being
smuggled ashore at some remote
spot on the American coast.
These credulous and ignorant way
farers are easy prey for crooks.
Many of them are persuaded to pay
money to strangers in the belief that
their entry to America will be has
tened. Not long ago a trusting Pole
gave 500 as first payment to an i'm
poster who promised. in return, to
land him. in the United States for
$20c.
From time to time small groups
do start for the American shore, but
hardly day passes without some
unfortunate foreigner turning up at
the American consulate here with a
pitiful tale of a fraudulent scheme
worked on him under the promise of
speedy passage across the Florida
straits. The Cuban police are help
ing to break up the practice.

Flat Dwellers of Sweden
Unite For Protection

Stockholm. Oct. ga p. by Mail)
A growing scarcity of unfurnished
apartments, accompanied by increas-
ing rents, has induced the fiat dwell
ers of Sweden to form a national or
sanitation. a congress of Tenants
Societies from all parts of the coun-
try 'aving been held at Gothenburg
for this purpose. The protection
guaranteed tenants through this ma
tional body will be supplementary to
the assistance already afforded by the
municipal Rent Committees and
Apartment Renting Agencies.
At the beginning of the new rent
year 1t is estimated that about 1000
families in Stockholm and 200 in
Gothenburg will be without homes,
having been forced to vacate their
apartments because of termination
Of their leases. Temporary domiciles
are being arranged by the municipal
authorities. while new apartment
houses of American pattern are near
ing completion. In many cases office
floors are being remodeled for house
keeping. and it is even being pro-
posed to relieve the situation by rent
ing out cabins of ships in the har-
Dor of Stockholm.
The organization completed at
Gothenburg plans to submit pro-
posals for new rent laws, as we'll as
to furnish its members with legal
advice and information.

Investigators Express
Hone for Russia

London, Oct. 2 CA. p. BY MaiD-
"The general impression we have
brought back as to the recovery OF
Russia is one of hope" Is the state
ment of F. L. Baldwin, a brother OF
the British prime minister and the
leader of party of British business
men who have just returned from an
investigation of trading prospects in
Russia
Recovery will be a long Job" Mr..
Baldwin continued, "unless the Rus
help, but, II it cannot, | am still
confident it can pull through I'M
aided. 1t is working unaided now
and the general economic conditions
are not too bad
Il gathered the peasant is fairly
contented and, after all, he is the
bulk of the population. AS to the
factory workers, they are all paid
on a piece work basis and are wor <
ing, harder than they did before the
war.
Much hand labor has to be done
owing to the country having been
depleted of mechanical aids, both
with regard to agricultural and
factory work. On our way from
Moscow to Petrograd we saw many
men reaping with hand sickles.
Undoubtedly there is trade
opening in Russia for agricultural
machinery, and also for all things
connected with transport, both rail-
way and motor. The Russians are
asking also for such things as saw
mill plants and mining materials.
while there is an abnormal demand
for the ordinary necessities of life.
The Russians. as a matter of fact,
want about fifty times as much as
they are gettMg"

Walter D. kimbaII

Walter ID. kimhall. one of the city's
young business men, passed away at
the home of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank A. kimball, Saturday evening,
aged 80 years.
Mr.. Kimball was born in Augusta
and educated in its public schools, aft
er which he learned the printers trade
at the kennebec Journal. Later he
was employed by the Lewiston Sun,
Waterville Sentinel and Lynn MASS. }
Item, then entering business for him
self. doing commercial printing and
the manufacture of rubber stamps, be-
ing very successful.
He is survived by three children. Ell
hot. Marion. and Albert; his parents.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank A. KimbalI; four
brothers. Frank, Earl, Raymond and
Clarence; three sisters, Mrs. Alice
Madeleine. His wife, Rita Twitchell
Kimball. passed away in 1916.
Mr.. Kimball was member of Au-
gusta Lodge. No. Ia. +. e A. NJ, and
several of the Masonic bodies.
Although in poor health for several
years, he was able to be at his office
until the last few weeks.
Thus ends the story Of a life that
was all too brief and that made things
more agreeable and pleasant for those
with whom it was associated. A man
is known by his deeds, and the kindly
acts and deeds of Walter Kimball will
linger long In the memories of his
friends. To live good life and at it's
end to be deeply and sincerely mourned
is one of the highest attainments of
human existence. To have ones menu
DRY forever cherished and revered and
to bear life's burdens with cheer when
the road is rough. as we'll as when It
is smooth, shows strength of chArac-
ter. a love of fellow man that places
that person at the right hand of his
Divine Creator. He accepted lifes
burdens and at the end of the way
sank in eternal rest. to sleep that
eternal sleep-a loving Son and parent,
and kindly friend.
The soul of Walter Kimball has
gone to his maker, like one who
wraps the drapery of his couch about
him. and lies down to pleasant
dreams"
Funeral Arrangements will be an
nounced later.

Cheap Auto Goggles

Paris, Oct. l GA. P. BY MaiD-
Automobile goggles advertised for
sale for ten confines each or a lit
tie over 10 to the dollar at the pres
ent rate of exchange, recently
brought a rushing business to a
second hand store on the left bank
of the Seine, and caused much
speculation as to how, in these
days, any manufacturer could place
such an article on the market at the
derisive price.
A former poilu solved the riddle.
The goggles had been cleverly cut
out from the original gas masks is
sued hurriedly to the French army
when gases made their appearance OH
the western front as a Weapon of

nearly a year. until the improved
model was manufactured.

Australia Developing
Brainy Race of Giants

!. BIsbane. Sept ia. p. by Mail)
Archbishop Duhig, in a public ad-
dress delivered on his return to
Queensland. after visiting America
said that as result of very careful
observation on his part, and on the
part of men whose opinion he valued
very highly. he could emphatically
declare that Australia was really de-
veloping physically and intellectual
ly race of giants.
To those who only saw life i'm Aus
tralian cities. said the Archbishop,
the truth of this stateemnt might not
be apparent, but it soon became in
telligible to those who visited the
country districts and saw the youths
and maidens Outclassing their par
ents physically and intellectually,
growing big and brainy on the broad
acres which were their native habi-
tat. breathing the free, fresh air of
an atmosphere so pure that one ac-
tually revealed in it. That was the
raw material offered to Australia
from which to build up a great ma
ton.

Request Philippine Judges
To Inspect Jails Monthly

Manila, Sept. 20-(A. p. by MaiD-
Hereafter judges of the Philippine
courts will be required to make
monthly inspections of the jails in
their respective provinces to which
they sentence convicted persons, and
submit a report to the secretary of
justice of the conditions of those
jails.
A law requiring such inspections
has been in effect for some time but
the practice of making the inspec-
tons has fallen into disuse. Acting
Secretary of Justice Torres has cal
led attentiond to the law through a
circular issued to all judges of the
first instance. He requests the
judges to resume inspection and
submit reports SO the department of
justice may be in position to know
the conditions of all jails, and keep
them up to required standards.
The judges, in their monthly re-
ports, are required to comment on
Jail conditions, and submit recon-
mendations for improvement If
needed.
