State Museum
Exhibits Draw
Much Attention

The neat appearance of the State
museum is commented upon daily by
Legislators and scores of other visit
OrS. Many new exhibits have been
added. the tanks have been filled with
fish. and the interior of the room has
been repanted and looks spic and
span.
The fish hatchery was started last
week with 1000 trout eggs. and this
week 1000 toSue eggs coming from
the Federal government will be
placed in another tank. Already in
the transparent trout eggs, the eyes
and bone structures of the tiny fish
can be seen. The eggs will probably
be Matched the latter part of tebru-
AIRY or early in March.
In the aquarium tanks there are
brook trout ranging in size from fin
gerlinGs to three and a half pounds,
and salmon, one and two years old.
Among the other species of fish are
pickerel, white perch, yellow perch,
suckers sun fish, togue, and the min
news which are used for bait for the
| larger fish. A tank of bass will be
added shortly.
! Curator Thomas A. James has just
| finished mounting some fine specl-
mems of the white or Arctic owl. a
visitor to this part of the country for
a few weeks in midwinter.
There are many owls of this vari-
! ETY. in and about Maine at this season
of the year. explained Mr.. James.
THE reason why so many are killed
is because they are so prominent that
| they show up in the trees. Owls arc
night workers, sleeping in the day
! time. They catch rabbits, partridges
and other small birds and animals.
They can stand a lot of cold weather
In fact they seems to thrive on it.
They come here for a short period
and then return North again. The
white owl weighs from six to eight
pounds
| Mr.. James has been very busy with
some bird groups. He has many
| found in Maine nicely mounted in
electrically lighted cases. which
shows them off to advantage. as
nearly as possible as they are in
| nature.

kalSha operating Il large fleet of
steamships despite complaints OF de-
preston in the shipping trade, was
able to announce at today's meeting

cent. The report of the directors said
that in general the cargo and passen-
ger business on all of the company'S

ial services. The cargo earned dur
ing the period amounted 20 .,c15, coo

present, large cargocS being carlied
on the inward trips and light ship
ments On the outward voyages on
these services. On the coaStwiSe
services the shipments of cargo
were reported to be fairly active and
there has been a small increase in
the number of boats operated
On tho European services The cargo
movement has been dull during the
six months, but the number OF pas
sengers carried showed a distinct
increase. On the American ser> ices
tho passenger traffic has been small,
but the shipments of cargo from the
United States to Japan have been
brisk. Timber. flour and wheat COM

AT LAST A FILM THAT GIVES
COPS A SQUARE DEAL

an the Name of the Law" Redeems
Men in Blue; Puts the Police in
the Right Light at Opera House
Tomorrow.
The days of lampooning the po-
lice in motion pictures are over.
For years the men who patrol the
streets of the country, who risk
their lives to safeguard our homes
and our property, have been made
the butt of comic films that make
them appear like anything but hu-
man beings; that poke fun at their
work and their families and in
short, make the policeman a laugh
ing stock.
1t is a production for which every
buccoat in the United States should
stand up and shout 'Thanks.' for it
reveals him as hero at work and
at play; on the streets where he is
exposed to danger and in the bosom
of his family where he shows him.
self to be the father of high type
indeed.
Now comes motion picture
which shows the policeman in the
right light. 1t is called 'In the Name
of the Law" and is being distributed
throughout the country. Thousands
of big theatres are showing it: hun
dreds of police chiefs and thousands
of policemen have given 1t their
heartiest endorsement and for the
first time the public is being shown
just what sort of a man the average
policeman is. how he lives at home.
, how he rcars his family and by what
fine motive he is actuated in the daily
performance of his duties.
In the Name of the Law" which
will be shown at the Opera House
tomorrow and Thursday was for the
main purpose of entertaining the mil
lions of men and Wcmen and children
who patronize moving picture thea
tres. But its purpose goes also be-
yond the mere idea of entertainment.
1t is a big human document of strong
emotions, of tense drama, of swift
action.
| In the cast are such capable play
ers as Emory Johnson, who produced
the picture: Ralph Lewis, who APP
pears as Officer O'Hara; Ella Hall,
| Johnnie Walker and others.
! Every resident of Augusta, who is
physically able will see picture of a
| lifetime. A comedy and review which
are also on the bill are special at
ltractions.-adv.

|Laurens Prominent
In Mexican Politics

| Mexico City, Jan. AT % years of
age Jorge PrietO Laurens finds him.
self one of the most influential men
! in politics in Observation-Disclosures
leader of the dominant Cooperitista
party. twice a member of the Cham
Der of Deputies, and few weeks ago
elected to the city council of Mexico
| City with all indications pointing to
his selection as its next mayor. A
brilliant orator with a wonderful gift
for popular appeal, which aids him in
reaching the lower classes with the
rather radical doctrines he advocates.
Laurens, although cordially hated by
some and violently attacked in sew
eral sections of the press, is easily
one of the most prominent figures IN
public life here today.
Laurens was born in Canitos, state
of San Luis Potosi. He studied law,
was admitted to the bar when scarce
~ II years old, and at &c he began
serving his first term in the lower
house of the federal congress. At
the time Of his election he was only
few days beyond the minimum age
limit set by the constitution for con-
gressmen. He early allied himself
with the liberal branch of the lower
house, and was a big factor in the
development of the Cooperitista
party which two years ago wrested
control of the lower house from the
Partido Liberal Constitutionalists
and has since dominated all legisla-
ton in that branch. He was re-
elected to the Chamber last Septem-
Der.
Laurens is known among. his
friends as the golden tongued boy
from San Luis" and his numerous
SneecheS in the chamber are appeal-
ing oratorical efforts. He is also a
fighter, and is not averse to show
ing ready pistol il political adj
versary becomes too vehement in his
denunciations from the tribunal. He
has been challenged to duels. has
accepted a few but never has he
! been hurt.

McCausland, Veteran Back Is
Leading WinslOw To Victory

Winslow High, although having
only one veteran back in its tanks
after the terrible slashing process Of
eligibility declaration, will tackle
Skowhegan High in the ArmOly to-
night, confident that they will give
the up-river luminaries a good run
for their money. Skowhegan nag not
been downed on the basketball court
this season, and furnishes a we'll
polished quintet. The game in the
Armory tonight will be, started at
7.3O o'clock in Elk's Hall, later in
the evening.
Winslow has built its offcnse
around McCausland, their one vet
J eran, who is very steady player.
While not at all flashy, ne handles
the ball well and can be relied upon
| to rally his team about MIN when
| defeat stares him in the face and
get things in his favor again.
Winslow has played three games
/ this year, winning two and losing
the other. While Winslow may be
| making only an average showing. it
| is because it is placed at great Odds.
| The over the river team IS playing
out of it's class according o enroll
i ment, and with the progression of
| the basketball season, may be look
| ed upon as a newly born team,
| coming along at fine clip.
The team will be omcWha
strengthened by the addition of one,
Mercer to it's ranks. Mercer comes
from Irskine Academy and is well
remembered for his stellar Der
| Torrance on the diamond last spl ing
in the Sentinel league. He was
| ranked among the leaders in the bat
Vtle list and was a choice for pitch
ing honors. While he is only an
average basketball player, Mercer
has given good account of himself
on the gridiron and may be expected
| to show himself next fall.
In the Winslow High school mid
| gets, Coach Mansfield places his
| hopes and aspirations for a winning
! team in time to come for WinslOw.
| His boys are now but in the embryo
| of ,basketeers of the first orders, but
| they show ability and will rave
| plenty of chance to show their wares
| later in their high school course. The
| team now averages about 100 TO the

Sheriff Fernandez is not, and
never has been, inactive. He has
closed q number of important places
and he has prosecuted many dealers
as records of the Bangor munich
pal court will show. Despite con-
siderable activity by the sheriff and
his deputies. there is Il general and
