Drunken Driving
Figures in Two ~
Cases Heard Monday

Two cases for operating an auto
mobile while under the influence of
intoxicating liquor were heard before
Judge Robert A. Cony in municipal
court Monday morning and in one of
the cases, that against John C. Craw-
ford of this city, who entered a plea
of guilty to the charge against him,
which was preferred by Chief of Po-
lice w. j. Skehan, the respondent was
bound over to the September term Of
superior court for Kennebec county
in the sum of $500.
The only testimony introduced in
the Crawford case was that of OFF,
Ger Letendre of the Augusta police
department, who told of the circum-
stances Of the arrest of the man
early Sunday morning on Grove
street. The officer testified that the
man was very much intoxicated at
that time.
The warrant alleging driving while
intoxicated against Frank Witham of
Gardiner was signed by Inspector
William H. Stilkey of the state high
way police, who gave evidence of
finding the respondent in difficulties
with his automobile on the Water
Vile highway Sunday. Inspector
Stilkey said that Witham at that
time had been drinking. Mrs. Ida M.
Freeman, police matron, was called
to the stand and declared that when
Witham was brought to the police
headquarters she could perceive no
evidence of intoxication.
Judge Cony was not convinced be-
yond a reasonable doubt of the mans
guilt of the offense with which he
was charged, and ordered the case
placed on file.

WILLIAMS SCHOOL SENIORS and WEBSTER
JUNIORS win H0NORS IN ATHLETIC CONTEST
First Classes in
Swimming for
Women, Tuesday

A 10-lesson course in swimming to
be held during the summer has been
arranged by the women's department
of the Augusta Y. M. C. A. for the
benefit Of the non-swimmers of that
department who want to learn how to
handle themselves in the water. The
lessons will be held on Tuesdays and
the first one will begin today, with
Mrs. O'Connor in charge of the instruc-
tion.
A similar course was presented last
summer after the regular activities of
the department were ended for the
season, and large number of women
and girls took advantage Of the oppor-
tunity to learn to swim. They were
delighted with the progress which
they made and in the fall became men,
bers of the regular classes.
The schedule Of classes for the Sc
ries Of lessons will be as follows:
Women at 2 o'clock; grammar school
girls at o'clock, and young women
after o'clock. Women and girls in
terested in the course should get in
touch with Miss Ethelle Garside, wom-
ems secretary at the Y. NJ. c. A. build

To Close Schools
For Circus Parade
And Afternoon Show

Cony High school will open at 8
o'clock this morning instead of at
$50 as usual, and the school will
close at IL o'clock for the remainder
of the day. This is in order that the
students may attend the 101 Ranch
Wild West Show which comes here
today, as it is felt by the school au-
thorities that the educational value
of show of this sort is sufficient
justification of the action of closing
the school.
The grammar grades will be clos
ed at about the same time for the
balance of the day for the same rea-
son, and it is expected that large
number of the youngsters will at
tend the afternoon performance.
The closing hour has been set early
enough so that they may all witness
the parade and there is little doubt
that they will all be lining the curb
when the head of the procession goes
by.

cluded In Two Divisions Par
ticipates And Standing of
Schools Summarized - Some
Good Records By Winning
Boys and Girls in Several
Events

An inter-grammar school athletic
contest in which all of the students
Of each grade participate, instead of
the usual handful of those particu-
larly adept at the various contests,
has been recently staged by Miss
Florence Nichols, supervisor of prysi-
cal training in the public schools of

competitive one between the schools,
was held at one school at time and

their mass showing in the various
events.
AS result, the Webster school
won in the junior division, which
consists of the fifth and sixth grades,
and the Williams school won in the
senior division. composed of the sew
enth and eighth grades. In the jun
ior division the Smith school was
second, the Williams third, Lincoln
fourth, and Harrington fifth. In the
senior division the Smith school was
second and the harrington third. 1t
is interesting to note that in spite
of the fact that the contests were
very close. the final standing of the
schools was the same as last year.
Three events were held for the
girls-the 50-yard dash. the standing
broad. jump and the basketball
throw, the running broad jump land
the high jump.
An interesting part of the final re-
suit is the fact that in the only event
which was held for both boys aad
girls. the 5c-yard dash, boy and a
girl, Nelson Phelps and Edith Nell
