FRESH'M PRESENTATION

After a program that was most In
teresting and attractive, TIE mem
bers OF the freshman class at Cony
high school presented the school with
a beautiful bronze bas-relief OF Ex-
President Woodrow Wilson, Friday
night At assembly hail. following the
school custom Of holding freshman
presentation during commencement.
In his presenta ton speech Presi-
dcnt Atwood Nelson Of the Fresh
man class eulogized President Will
son and declared that the class had
felt IL would be a splendid thing TO
make the school a present OF this
has relief as this great American
had died during the present school
year.
Chairman Frank Eewins OF the
Augusta board OF education received
the gift on behalf OF the school and
ccmplmented the members OF the
class upon the fine program which
they had presented and upon the
beautiful gift which they had select
ed. In speaking OF the war president
he said that he felt that no better
words could be said Of him than were
said in an editorial IN the Lewiston
Journal, following his death. He then
proceeded to read several paragraphs
from this editorial.
Chairman Hewins in closing said
that the only thing that had been
said against Wilson WAS that he was
too idealistic, and he declared that II
1t were not for ideals this world
would never have reached its present
stage of civilization. He impressed
upon the members OF the class the
-.
working for their ideals.
A very excellent program was pre-
scented by the members OF the class
under the direction OF Miss Hazel
Gibbs, a member of the faculty. One
of the features Of this program was
debate between an affirmative team
ccnsistinG of Robert Leadbetter and
Marion White and the negative team
ces Kinsman. The question was Re
solved-That the United States
should help Germany"
The arguments advanced by these
freshman debaters gave promise of
some fine debaters to represent Cony
High school in the future. The debate
was won by the affirmative team, hut
by close margin. Edwin Wilder in
his rebuttal brought laugh after laugh
from the audience as he turned several
arguments of the affirmative into jokes.
The Judges were Principal Everett V.
Perkins, Mrs. Lewis A. Johnson and
Mrs. Fred w. Burrill.

evening was as follows:

 Plotted In Saloon.
 From the confessions and from other evidence, police and postal in spector have reconstructed the de- tails of the crime.
 In an East St. Louis saloon month ago, the plan was preached by Green berg, police say, and the other seven members of the gang selected, and drilled in their parts. Last Thurs day, while all but Grant and Willis Newton went in two stolen automo- piles to Rondout. Illinois, the scene of the robbery, the pair boarded the train and rode blind baggage" until they reached Rondout, 32 miles north of Chicago.
 Robbery Executed.
 At the point where their confeder- ates were waiting, Grant and Willis Newton crawled over the tender and compelled the engine crew to stop the train. The others surrounded the cars and threw bottles containing formal dehyde into them to force the clerks out. The clerks subdued, the register ed mail car was footed os 62 pouches, which were piled in the waiting auto mobil as.
 Willis Newton, stationed as look out was mistaken for a mail clerk by Grant, who shot him five times be- fore he recognized him. The wound ed man was stretched on top of the piles of pouches and the robbers pro- ceeded to near Joliet, where the bags were riHed and discarded and one au- tcmobile was abandoned.
