Arthur Welch of Norway is the
owner of a large Angora cat, eight
years of age and weighing 10 pounds,
that is champion fisherman. AS
Mr.. Welch'S home is on the shore of
Lake Penneseewassee, the cat has
naturally acquired aquatic habits.
Sometimes for hours at time, the
cat will hunt fish, spearing them
with sharp claws. A few days ago
while catching minnows, he speared
a pickerel eleven inches long which
was no match for the cat. "
John Clark Scates of Westbrook
believes that the reconstruction of
the Portland Kittery highway can be
better accomplished and a more sat
isfactory highway constructed by
abandoning the present route be-
tween Biddeford and Kennebunk and
building between five and six miles
of new road along the old post road
between those two places. The work
upon that part of the road, he says,
could be begun at once without in
terfering with this seasons travel.

"cHEcKlNe uPu

Some people will find interest in
Checking up on the details of the
reports concerning the Hayward
tragedy, such as the predictions of
clairvoyants and of the would be-
sleuths.
Mirth may be provoked as they
think Of the lone suspect taking to
the Topsham woods when an officer,
whom the pursued thought to be a
highwayman, attempted to halt him
Then there are the dogs and the
trails they followed, the false scents
that others than dogs followed.
All this may suggest the need of
clearing house of information, the
need of minds trained in the search
for criminals to direct investigation
more comprehensively than may now
be done with our present facilities.
ITO get things done some human
agency must be designated to give
effect to the general desire that they
be DONE"
This is not said in criticism of the
public. There was much public
spirited cooperation and untiring
effort was put forth. What machin-
cry there was for directing the eff
forts does not appear to have been
misused, or if so no more than might
be expected in the confusion and un-
der peculiarly trying circumstances.
A battling mystery surrounded the
tragedy. The best organized agency
that might have been devised would
have found it battling at first. Look
ing back upon it one may now con-
clude that a centralized and expert
direction of affairs might have Sc
cured more thorough investigation in
the beginning, might have made
wild goose chases unnecessary in
several instances. Certainly the
likelihood of this warrants the adop-
ton Of some such methods.

ton of the suggestions advanced in

better advertisement than crime is

Under the enlarged powers Of the
State Highway Police, which will go
into effect this summer, it should be
possible to improve on the present
situation, but whether it may be pos
sible under those powers to employ
the full measure of system and train
ing in criminology which conditions
seem to call for is not certain. That
law, however. carries with it assur-
ance that beginning will be made.

JACK DELANEY
WILL BAT TIE
CARPENTER
By SAM HALL
Universal Service Staff Correspon

Universal service stair correspondent.
NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-News was
popping around the new Garden today.
Promoter Tex Richard wired Fran
co.'s Descamps, manager OF Georges
Carpenter. and made him an offer
to combat Jack Delaney, the Bridge
port rival of Paul Berlenbach, and one
of the most popular fighters that can
be brought into the big town.
Matchmaker Jess McMahon an
nounced that Harry Greb, the rubber
ball fighter, who holds the worlds
middleweight championship, has agreed
to meet the winner of the windup
bout in the Garden Friday night be-
tween Dave Shade and Roland Todd
OF England. Shade should win that
fight, though Todd is pretty good, and
il Dave does, then the bouncing Mr..
Greb will have taken on some trouble
for himself. Shade is one of the few
fighters that figure to bother Greb and
bother him seriously.
Billy (Young) Stribling and his
bride tripped itno the Garden early
Monday afternoon to see the hockey
game. Being from Georgia, where they
have no ice, the Striblings were keen
about the rough indoor pastimc. Strib-
ling said he would be ready to fight
in a month and McMahon will make
him an offer.
Tommy Freeman, the Hot Springs
fighter, who meets Sergeant Sammy
Baker in the semi-final to the Shade
Todd battle, arrived in town and Mon
day afternoon showed his fistic wares
to n startled audience in Stillman's
gymnasium. The gym critics came
away raving about the prowess Of the
Arkansas battler and feeling sorry for
the sergeant.
Shrewd judges tell us the Hot
Springs welter, now that he has in
vaded New York, will rapidly box
his way into a Mickey Walker match.
Mcmahon was busy during the nf-
