Tommy picked up the note.

Tommy picked up the note.
Before he could open 1t he was
aware that Janet Church was stand
ing beside him. In the excitement
which followed the princess dance
she had managed to leave her hum
BILE table and make her way unhin-
dered across the room.

Tommy remembered the promise,
remembered also the form the intro
duction was to take. In the midst
of the fantastic unreaiity OF all that
was happening TO him there seemed
nothing absurd in introducing Janet
precisely as he had promised. Cas-
lnir was sitting beside him smiling
gently.
"This," said Tommy, 'is my aunt.
Allow me TO Introduce her to you"
The count stood up. bowed. took
Janet's hand and kissed II. He
showed not the slightest sign Of ever
having seen her before, though he
must have reeoIleeted the pink
dressing gown and quilted slippers In
the corridor In the morning. He did
not seem to feel that Janet in her
shabby frock was out OF place at the
Mascotte. By not so much as the
tremble OF an eyelid did he show his
astonishment that Tommy had
brought an aunt with him TO Berlin.

Mr.. Gilmore, in his talk, told the

planned it from a view point Of how
it effects the people of Waterville.
He spoke of the large reduction that
has occurred in the last quarter of a
century and said that the main rea
son for it Is the motorization of fire
departments. The acquisition of the
latest truck to the Waterville depart
nent led to a 90 per cent decrease IN
the rates in Waterville and gave the
city B rating. He told of the in

and the regulations that applied to
them.

sprinklers leads to a reduction in in

France Still Holds
Hopes Protocol Will
Yet Be Put to Use

Paris. March 16 (By A. P.)-Prem-
Ter HerriOt's talks regarding Euro
pean tranquility with Austen Cham
berlain, the British foreign Minister,
and DIR. Eduard Denes, the Czecho-
slovak foreign minister, today de-
veloped the fact that France consid-
ers the league of nations protocol
may yet serve as the means for pro-
viding an eventual solution of the
security problem. but Mr.. Chamber
lain regards it as dead.
Both Secretary Chamberlain and
Premier Herriot declared after their
Sidering any proposal that would
sacrifice the interests of any ally
The ministers discussed the prob
lem of security generally as separat
ed from the league protocol and con-
fined the powers directly interested,
including Germany. Mr.. Chamber
lain took the stand that the plan
proposed by the Berlin government
for a security pact offered q basis
for discussion and proposed that
consideration of that plan continue
through regular diplomatic channels
Premier Herriot said the French
government was ready to discuss any
plan that would contribute to the
Tranquility OF Europe, Dut the french
position was that security and dis
armament could not be separated and
that any plan adopted must be bas-
ed on the idea of security. with obli-
gatory arbitration of disputes, first,
and disarmament afterward.
After the interview Mr.. Chamber
lain asserted that in the idea Of all
the allies, no frontier is excluded
from the security plan they have in
view. AS to disarmament, Great
Britain would willingly participate
in any conference to that end in
which all the great powers would
join, but he knew of no definite steps
that had been taken to bring this
about.
Premier Herriot declared that
France asked nothing better than to
lend any aid she could to bring about
effective security and disarmament,
bur added, he did not have any defi-
mite indication as to when disarm-
ament conference would be held.

Rep. Gardiner
Explains Workings
OF LEGISLATURE

| William Tudor Gardiner, Speaker
! of the Maine House of Representa-
! tives, was the speaker at the meet
! ing of the Waterville Rotary Club
! at the Elmwood Hotel yesterday
noon and explained in a very inter
| estng way the organization and op-
| Grafton OF the legislative bodies in
Augusta as we'll as many of the
problems that are now confronting
them.
Mr.. Gardiner first considered the
structure of the Legislature. saying
that there We're 81 senators and l5l
re representatives.. In the Senate the
seats are apportioned by the size of
the counties while in the House the
size of the different towns deter
mines the number. When the Legis-
! lature is first assembled SO standing
committees are appointed each made
I'D of three senators and seven mem
bers of the House and when this is
once done both the Houses are ready
to take up the routine work of the
sc SSion.
The next phase of Mr.. GARDENERS
talk took up the various steps of the
passage of a bill, from the time it
is first introduced until it has been
made law. Any member of either
House can introduce the bill, he eX-
planned, and he went on to tell of
the different committees that dis
cussed it before the bill came before
the Legislature for vote.
The method of procedure In the
Maine Legislature is far less compll-
Gated than is the national. Mr.. Gar
diner said. So far this session more
than 100 matters have been pre-
scented for consideration. More than
300 of these have been petitions and
remonstrances which would be
quickly dealt with and $50 of them
have been reported on by commit
etees, one third of the reports being
unfavorable to passage and the
other two thirds in favor. Only
comparatively few bills. he said, had
as vet received final passage and
there is much work that must be
done before the session ends in an
other two or three weeks.
The Solons have not yet settled
upon a highway program for the
rext two years. Mr.. Gardiner said
that a hearing was to be held this
evening on the proposed tax on gas
oline and as this matter had been
holding up the work on the program
Tor road building, he thought that
the highways would be taken up
within the next few days. The
question of State bridge across the
Eenncbec river and whether 1t
should cross the river at Bath or
Richmond is another important sub

Plante Guilty of
Liquor Charge
Appeals Sentence

Odllon Plante was found guilty of
the Illegal possession of liquor when
he appeared in municipal court yes
terday afternoon before Judge
Charles w. Atchley. He was SEN
fenced to pay a fine of SIS and costs
and to serve two months in Jail with
four months additional in default of
payment. The sentence was appeal
ed and bonds of $500 We're furnished
for Plante's appearance before tho
kennebec county superior court at
the April term. Plante was repre-
sented in court by F. Harold Dubord.
The first witness for the state was
Deputy Sheriff William Cole who
said that he, accompanied by Dep
uties Moses, Pinkham. Megill and
I.essard, had raided Plante's store
at Is Lockwood street about 10
o'clock Sunday forenoon. Under the
ice box in the refrigerator a false
partition was found and a compart-
ment in which was liquor was dis
closed by swinging back the parti-
ton. A gallon can containing a quart
of alcohol. a pint bottle and seven
half pint bottles of alcohol We're
taken. Mr.. Megill explained to the
court the nature of the hide and how
the liquor was found.
No defense was entered. Mr.. Du-
bord urged for a light sentence on
the grounds that Plante had never
been in trouble before and that he
had a large family dependent on him.
After the raid on the store the
deputies went to Plante's home at
113 Silver street. Here they placed
under arrest Charles Butler, who
occupies part of the house, for lille
gal possession. In court Yesterday
Butler pleaded noIo and the case
was Suspended two weeks for SEN
tence at the request Of Mr.. Dubord,
Buffers attorney.
Omer Pooler was found guilty of
interfering with an officer while in
the performance of his duties and he
was sentenced to pay a fine and
costs amounting to SO or to serve
60 days in Jail. He paid. Pooler
was in Buffers premises at the time
of the raid and he seized jug con-
tanning alcohol from one of the dep
uties and smashed it in the sink.
cutting his hand badly. He pleaded
guilty to the charge preferred against
him.
