cisiOn In the matter of the accident

who was employed by the Central
Maine Power Company:
On March 20. 1923, Charles NJ.
Hayes, who was employed by the
Central Maine Power Company as
foreman in charge of construction,
was in charge of a crew that were
making some changes in the dis
tribution system of the company's
lines at Norway. A part of this
work was the placing of new and
additional cut-out boxes to obviate
interruption of the service on a
large portion Of the lines in case of
local trouble. Two of the linemen
We're working near the top of the
pole at the corner of Maine and
Tannery streets, installing cut-out
boxes. Three fuse plugs had been
taken from the fuse box and placed
temporarily between the braces and
cross arm at the top Of one Of the
poles. One of these plugs became
loosened in some way and fell,
striking Mr.. Hayes on the head and
cutting slight cash in the scaIp.
Mr.. Hayes was taken to the COM
pany's office. DR.. Bal +. Bradbury
was called and made an examina-
ton. He found scalp wound about
one and three quarters long, which
had penetrated through the scaIp
to the skull. DIR. Bradbury dressed
the wound. and Mr.. Hayes returned
to his duties. On March the cath.
he was treated by DIR. Andrews of
Brunswick and the cut appeared to
be in good condition. On March the
Goth, DR.. Bradbury made another
examination and advised Mr.. HAYES
to go to the hospital and have an
A-Ray taken to determine if the
skull had been fractured, as he was
afraid that If Mr. Hayes contracted
cold. complications might set in.
On March the 2sth, further trouble
developed and Mr.. Hayes went to
his home in Brunswick, and a few
days later he went to the Maine
General hospital, Portland, where he
received medical attendance. Pneu-
monia developed and Mr. HAYES died
at about 1..15 A. NJ, on April 8,
1928.
"The evidence shows that II Mr..
Hayes had observed. the rules that
are issued to employees by the
company, this accident would not
have occurred"

British Pastors !
Praise Theatres

London, April GA. Z. by NfaiD
There was a time when jealous
pastors n.London were wont to de-
nounce theatres as ante-rooms to

FOR 1t. But nowadays the minister of
the gospel who talks that way is re-
garded as narrow minded. Few.
however, have made such a complete
rlght-about- face as the Rev. E. +
Saxton. Addressing the Durham.
Yorkshire and Northumberland Con-
gregational Union at Leeds recently
he said:
Il should like to see our religious
papers give every week a list of
plays worth seeing. Some plays are
as good as a sermon, and there is
certainly a ministry Of laughter as
we'll as Of song"
