INTERESTING CASE
BRINGS RED CROSS
WORKER TO maine

Miss Alice J. Weber. formerly
social worker at the Augusta State
Hospital was in this city Saturday
evening and Sunday. Miss Weber
is now supervisor of home service
and medical social service at the
New York County chapter OF the
American Red Cross, and is located
in New York City. She left Au-
gusta year ago last July.
1t was on an interesting matter
that Miss Weber came to Maine on
this occasion, and one which shows
the thoroughness of the endeavors
of the home service sections of the
Red Cross to deal justly with the
cases of former service men. The
story of this particular case is that
Stanley S. Zarysh, who served in the
army of the United States during
the World War, and who formerly
was q resident of Massachusetts had
been living at North Vassalboro,
with his wife and one child, Edward.
Zarysh had employment in the
wooden mill at N. Vassalboro. 1t
was expected that his wife was soon
to become the mother Of second
child and she was admitted to the
hospital. About this time Zarysh
developed some mental disorder and
labored under the delusion that the
% months old child, Edward, was
being made the victim of some per-
secution. Unknown to anyone and
while his wife was in the hospital,
Zarysh took Edward and went to
New York City.
7 At Grand Central Station, repre-
sentatives Of the Travellers Aid So
ciety noticed the mans peculiar ac-
tions and he was taken to- Bellevue
Hospital for observation. The So
cial Service at Bellevue turned the
baby over to the Guild Of the Infant
Savior and he was placed in the
Prospect Hill Shelter. The Travellers
Aid Society telegraphed to the New
England Division of the Red Cross
at Boston the details as ascertained
in New York, they in turn commun-
icated with Miss Julia Larkin OF the
Waterville home service section Of
the Red Cross, and it was through
| this source that all the circum-
stances Of the case were connected
Up.
Miss Weber came to Maine Fri
day night to bring the child Ed
| ward, and he was restored to the
| care of his mother Saturday. The
| father, Zarysh, was committed to
| and is being cared for at the L. S.
Veterans Hospital No. 81 at Kings
| Bridge, the Bronx, New York.
Aftcr having been delayed by the
high water in the kennebcc river, the
| saw mill and shinglc mill of the Au-
| gusta Lumber Co. will open up for

WATER co. VALUE
GUT BY S3,5O0,000
State Commission Also Raps
Kappes' Gas Finding.

Disagreeing with the method of
finding property valuation adopted by
william P. Kappes, special master in
chancery in Federal Court, in the
Citizens Gas Company case, the
public service commission Wednes-
day slashed S3,5OO,OOO from the val
uation placed on the property of the
Indianapolis Water Company by COM
pany engineers and fixed the value at
S16,455, 900
The company petitioned for valua-
ton for the purpose of finding d
basis for the issue Of new securities.
Two appraisals offered by engineer
ing firms for the water company
fixed the value at 10000, 172 and S19,-
SIS, 320, and commission engineers in
three appraisals fixed the physical
valuation I S14,6S9 ,07S, ST, 4S3, 169
and s16,S72. O95.
The commission valuation was fixed
on the basis of average prices of la
Dor and materials for the ten-year
period ending in 1921 and on present
land values. The ruling of Mr.. Kappes
in the Citizens Gas Company case. to
which the commission in its finding
took exception. was based on the cost
Of reproduction now less depreciation,
using prices Of July 1, 1922
This basis was branded by the com
ruission as unfair to the public harm
ful and unsafe for the utility and not
in accordance with the law"
