Movement to Work Maine State Pris
oners on Roads

The experiment of working some of
the prisoners of the Maine State prison
on road construction will be tried on a
small scale next season by the State
highway department, If the prison
commission approves. If the plan
works well 1t will be extended until all
available men are employed in this
manner.
1t is known that Gov. Brewster is
strongly in favor of the plan, believ-
ing that it will not only be profitable,
but make for the rehabilitation of the
prisoners who are so employed.
Charles Murray of Bangor, member
of the highway commission, and him
self a practical road builder, said he
was ready to go ahead with the plan
another season.
I'VE must find places where men can
be worked in groups" the commission
err said, ''for 1t would not do to string
them out with two or three in a place.
The prisoners must be guarded and
that could not be done effectively un-
less they are grouped. / have thought
that We might work some of them on
stone crushers or places like that"
The commissioner thought it would
be feasible to divide the convicts up in
gangs of 10 or Is.

Waterville Man
Drowned While
Hunting Ducks

Philip Woods, about 50, of King
street, Waterville, was drowned In
the Kennebec river yesterday morn
ing and his companions, Wilfred and
Romeo Rancourt of Bushey Lane,
barely escaped drowning when the
canoe in which they We're duck hunt
ing overturned. The fatal accident,
occurred four miles down the river
from Waterville, near it's outlet in
the Kennebec.
The body had not been recovered
at a late hour last evening. At the

canoe to enable them to get a good
shot and their craft tipped over.
Woods was the only one of the three
who could not swim and Romeo
Rancourt caught him as he was
about to sink and tried to bring him
ashore. The strong current of the
river bore the struggling pair down
stream and Rancourt in despair OF
his own life was forced to let go his
grip of Woods and swim ashore.
Wilfred Rancourt, a strong swim
mer, went Immediately to the shore
and notified the police from the John
Brown farm on the River road.
AS soon as the news reached the
city many people went to the scene

Osborne Delivers
Very Timely Lecture

No more timely lectured could have
been arranged for the people of Wa
terville than the lecture to be given
by Thomas Mott Osborne on Rebuild
ing Manhood" next Tuesday evening at
o'clock at the City Opera House. Not
tigation into the State prison at
Thomaston. which is now being con-
Quoted, but also because of the fact
that crime of various kinds is on the
increase in the United States. In
1860 there were 19,06S prisoners in the
prisons of the country, which was one
prisoner for every 1647 persons of
the population. BY 1890 the total pop
ulation had just doubled, while the
nunbebr of criminals had increased
four times. This increase of crime
over the increase Of population means
an added burden on every citizen in the
community. Therefore every citizen
should welcome an opportunity to hear
a man who has made a-life study of
this problem of rebuilding the lost
manhood and womanhood of our State
and country.
If. however. one IS interested only
in an u evening of entertainment one
could hardly afford to miss the lee
ture on Tuesday evening. Joseph Co
burn Smith, who was graduated from
Colby College with the class of 1924,
says Of Thomas Mott Osborne: MIR.
Osborne spoke at Harvard last year.
There was a good crowd, of course. as
he has spoken there often and the men
would rather hear him than go to any
ordinary show. He is man who has
had a lot of experiences and he just
stands up and talks to you about
them. We just sat back and roared
at his yarns about My Friends. the
Crooks as he called them. 1t isn't
often that one hears man who is
such a combination of hard-hoiled
worldliness, analytic brain and warm
kindness for the people that the rest
of the world kicks into cages. Those
who hear Thomas Mott Osborne will
get some new angle on their duties as
citizens and they will hear some alb
sorbing anecdotes. They will laugh
until they are sick"
Mr.. Osborne spoke on Prison Re
form at the Pennington Normal School
few months ago and was very en-
Enthusiastically received, which indi-
Gates that he has a message of inter-
est for women as well as for men.

tigate conditions alleged to exist at
our State prison at Thomaston, evil
dence was offered by the chaplain,
Rev. Percy j. Clifford. and
Whereas, three women prisoners
thereafter made certain defamatory
allegations calculated to impeach the
testimony of Mr.. Clifford and to be-
smirch his character, and
Whereas, we believe that some I'M
thinking people may be deceived by
these aspersions, though emanating
from vile and vicious sourcec, just as
some soft-minded. though good people
sometimes prefer to believe the lies of
statements Of honorable and upright
officials, and
Whereas, Mr.. Clifford served this
church for four years as it's pastor
and was highly respected by 1t and by
the community at large: be it
Resolved: That we express our i'm
plicit confidence in Mr.. Clifford, in his
integrity, probity and character; be it
further
Resolved: That we call upon all
right-minded citizens to withhold cred
it to statements made by the incorri-
gibles who were sent to the State
prison from the women's refofmatory
at Skowhegan, unless the same be cor
roborated by unimpeachable evidence
