previously detectives had taken J. II.

ing the robbery: Paul Wade, Tulsa.

James Mahoney. Federal warrants
charging robbery of the mails have
been issued for the last four.
Acting on information obtained from
WAYNE, wounded five times and near
death, detective squads were dis
PATCHED today to definite localities to
search for the loot, which they hoped
10 recover nearly intact. Confidence
that they were following the right
leads and would "clear UP the affair in
short order" was expressed by Morgan
Collins, police chief. and Martin
Hughes. detective chief.
1--WE have four of the bandits under
arrest" Chief Hughes said after the
federal warrants were issued to fore
stall habeas corpus proceedings in the
state courts for the suspects release.
Wayne. who was identified by "ne
of the mail clerk aboard the looted
train, was reported as saying that he
was shot by the bandit leader for dis
obeying orders. His injuries made
talk impossible, but he communicated
answers by slight movements of the
head to questions written and held be-
fore his eyes. Police did not disclose
who the other suspects Were who were
said to have been identified.
A. f. Germer, chief postal inspector
concentrated his investigation on pos
shle connection between post Office or
federal reserve bank employees with the
robbery. City and federal officers
agreed that the bandits were in posses

Late today the police denied that
Wayne had made any sort Of confess
sion. They pointed out that the GUS
meet is in no condition to make state

Several conferences between officers
working on the case were held this eft

which Chief OF Detectives Hughes, Po-

lice superintendent Matthew thinner
and Inspector German participated, tie
following statement was issued:
I'VE have important clues which We
believe will lead to the solution of the
mystery. To say more at this time
would be to work against ourselves"
Inspector Germer said this evening
that he had no more definite Informal
ton as to the amount Of the loot and
refused TO say whether any of 1t had

SEN. HARRINGTON
Especial to The Kennebec JournaD

Especial to The Kennebec JournaD
Pittsfeld. June III stand
squarely on the plank in the Repub-
lican' platform adopted at the State
convention at Portland. This plank
is squarely in line with what my po-
sition has always been. My oppo-
nent says that he stands on the same
plank and, if he does. he cannot adj
vocate constitutional amendment.
If he continues to advocate this
amendment and to stand on such
a plank. he is standing on a plat
form of his own"
This announcement by Hon.
Frank G. harrington of Augusta, one
of the candidates for the Republi-
can nomination as governor, was
made at meeting held in Pitts
field this afternoon. So anxious had
the citizens been to hear Senator
Harrington that the meeting was
hastily arranged and it was attend
cd by a big crowd.
Let me read to you what this
plank says" said Senator Earring
voted to education should be ex-
pended in support of public schools
to the exclusion of private institu-
tons of learning, except such as are
not the sole instrumentalities of
furnishing high school education
within the localities they serve and
which are wholly under the super
vision of the commissioners of edu-
cation"
The speaker insisted that the
amendment to-the Maine Constitu-
ton proposed by his opponent was
not in line with this plank in the
platform and as further proof he
read a statement by William S. Lin
nell of Portland. a member of the
Republican State committee and
one of those who drafted the plat
form. This statement said:
1.-The educational plank of the Re-
publican State platform is not a
declaration in support of the propo-
sition to amend the Constitution of
Maine TO forbid the use of public
funds in support of sectarian
schools.
such an Interpretation is foreign
to the intent of those who drafted
the plank and those who accepted
and approved 1t. The intention was
to make the measure of public serv-
ice rendered the guide by which as
sistance should be extended to pri-
vate schools through the appropria-
ton of public money.
1.-The trainers of that plank de-
sired the Republican party to take
a Straightforward, broad view of the
situation with reference to the ex-
penditure of public funds for educa-
tional purposes. They intended to
speak plainly and to avoid phrase
ology which has been sometimes
forcefully referred to as weasel
words I believe they did speak
plainly.
