Expert Thieves After
American Passports

Hamburg, Sept. 14-(A. p. by
MaiD-American passports and for-
eign passports viseed for the United
States are now worth their weight
in gold in central Europe, and pass
FORT thieves are busy on trains, in
hotels and on steamers and wharves.
Scores of stolen passports are re-
ported weekly to American consular
officials. It is a frequent occurrence
for a foreigner who has obtained
viseed document for America to have
his papers stolen before he sails.
Americans are warned by consular
officers to keep the numbers of their
passports and make speedy reports
of theft to the nearest consul so that
the papers may be cancelled from
Washington and steps taken to pre-
vent imposters from reaching the
United States. Travellers are warned
not to leave their passports In their
luggage. even if it is locked. and adj
vised to carry them in inside pockets
beyond the reach Of sneak thieves.
The situation has become particu-
larly bad since the new American
immigration law went into effect.
There are evidences that organized
to guarantee entrance to America.
Forgers can easily change names
and photographs and descriptions.
While purchasers Of altered pass
ports will probably come to grief
sooner or later. there are so many
persons c1amoring for admission to
the United States that sharpers find
ready market for their stolen

Legends About Women

Weman's first appearance has been
a popular subject Of legends. The
Phoenician myth of creation Is
founded on the story of Pygmalion
and Galatea. There the first woman
was carved out of ivory by the first
man and then endowed with life by
Aphrodite. says the Kansas City Star.
The Greek theory. Of the creation of
woman. according" to Hesiod. was
that Zeus as cruel jest ordered
Vulcan to make woman out Of clay.
and then induce the various gods and
goddesses to invest the clay doll with
all their worst qualities, the result
being lovely thing.
The Scandinavians say that as
Odin, Viii and We. the three sons Of
Bor were walking along the sea
beach they found two sticks of wood.
one of ash and one Of elm. Sitting
down, the gods shaped man and wo-
man out of these sticks, whiting
the woman from the elm and called
her Ernia.

Salmon Spawn Custom

Innumerable salmon run up the
rivers Of Alaska and the northwest
coast. but not one ever returns to
the sea. They die after reproducing
their species.
They do not spawn in the rivers.
Those which escape capture on their
way up ascend to the headwaters,
where there is usually q lake-per-
haps several lakes.
They do not spawn in the lakes.
For that purpose they seek streams
that flow into the lakes. and there
deposit their eggs. scooping out nests
in the gravelly bottom with their fms.
The salmon then guard their eggs
and the young Matched from them
until the latter are able to take care
of themselves for there are many
predatory enemies.
After a while the young salmon go
out into the lake seeking food. And
later on they travel down the river
to the sea-not to return again to
fresh water until they are mature
and ready to spawn. The parent

Chairman Cony
Believes Democrats
Will Poll Good Vote

Dan w. Cony Of this city. the
chairman of the Democratic state
committee, in a statement Wednes-
day, says that since 1920 the Re-
publican party has gained 9,SSS votes
and the Democratic party has gained
in this state $3.50 votes
Gov. Baxter in Q statement re-
Gently said that he did not believe
that the Democrats would poll more
than 10000 votes in this state in the
national election in November. and
he would like to have President
Coolidge carry the state by 1OO.OOO,
continued Mr.. Cony.
II do not believe that all the
Democrats in Maine are going TO
stay at home on Nov. 4th. just to
would be the only way that the Re-
publican party could ever give Presi-
dent Coolidge 100000 majority.
1.-THE following will show the

THE Democratic party in Maine
has no reason to be discouraged over
the showing made by w. r. Pattan-

Sept. = last.
1T the Democratic party can gair
$3.50 votes after the 5000 defea'
| in 1920. 1t shows that 1t Is a fighting
organization. The Maine Democrat,
is not to be frightened by wore
passed out by the Republican gov

LOSES BOOZE CASE FOR

James Corbett. restaurant owner
OF North Vassalboro, was found
guilty of illegal possession at We'd
nesday mornings session of Munic.
ipal court and was fined $500 and 9
months in Jail with & months addi-
tional on failure to pay. He an.
pealed the case and bail in the sum
of 5000 was furnished for his ap-
pearance at the January term of the
superior court.
H. c. Marden Of Waterville. the
youngest member of the Kennebec
Bar acted as counsel for Corbett;
Walter Sanborn. county attorney Of
ficiated for the state.
Armed with a search and seizure
warrant w. J. Cole and Harry Pink
ham. deputy sheriffs. searched the
premises of Corbett on October 4
and found many empty bottles and
one full of alcohol. Corbett had
told the officers it was denatured
alcohol and used by his wife for
bathing purposes, later on the wit
ness stand he testified that he used
it himself to rub Mis- leg in which
he was afflicted with rheumatism
occasionally. The bottle in question
was found to contain grain alcohol
He said he could not remember who
had sold him the alcohol when asked
by Attorney Sanborn, but subsequent
questions seemed to allege that his
memory was normal.
Four witnesses were introduced by
the defense, all testifying as to the
character of the respondent and pro-
Tossing disbelief or ignorance OF the
knowledge of any sale of liquor on
the premises.
Tho hon ring IF tho rnSnnndont
the stand and several OF his incon-
sistent statements caused Judge
Cony to rule that the respondents
testimony was not frank, leading to
the assumption that the liquor was
not kept on the premises for legiti-
mate purposes. The testimony OF
the witnesses proved to be only
negative. the judge declared.
Decision Reserved in Civil Suit
. A civil suit, in which Antonio
Aguiar OF Augusta sought to recover
money to the amount OF $77.7O al
legged to be due him from Philias
Garant also Of Augusta resulting
from a partnership deal in lumber.
took up a great part of the morning
session. Judge Cony reserved de-
cision until a later date.
The complainant. by written rec
orQS. CeStlneu tnat out OIL d totdt oL
52.747 feet Of lumber he had taken
bat 24.S19 feet. less than the half OF
the total to which he was entitled by
the partnership deal. He alleged
that the plaintig had received the
remaining 26.S73 feet which left q
balance due the complainant OF 1854
feet, which at $50 per thousand to-
tailed S7170.
Though the plaintiff had no COM
plete available figures. the defense
brought out that he had received
only 1900 feet approximately. A
witness for the defense. who had
brought lumber from the plaintiff.
alleged that the lumber had been
overscaled at the mill. This being
a point which might have extreme
bearing on the case. Judge Cony re-
served decision until later.
