Many improvements
Waterville ArmOry
Since December Fire

The Naterville armory, damaged
by fire last December, is assuming
the appearance of brand new build
ing on the interior and the task of
rehabilitating it will be completed in
about a week
The fire gained its start near the
furnace and although it was con-
fined to the interior of the building
the greater part CT the rear end was
burned out and the whole armory
smoked up.
The two chief improvements are a
steel ceiling in the drill hall and a
one pipe heating system. The CELL
ing does much to lessen fire risk and
being painted white, will make the
hall lighter than it was before. An
other improvement in this part of the
building Is the new lighting system
which will diffuse an even illumina-
ton over the hall.
The locker rooms and officers
quarters, located in that part of the
building most effected by the fire,
have received a coat of buff paint
and in some places the wood work
has been replaced. Extensive sheath
ing has been done in the Easement
which has been thoroughly cleaned
up. New doors have been installed
at the cellar entrance and tho con-
struction uf a tight vestibule here
will help make the heating of the
armory an easy matter. A few days
ago a fire was built in the new fur
mace and the building was heated in
very short time

The judge said that the police are
not expected to enforce the liquor
laws because, by gentleman's
agreement this task is left to the
sheriffs. but he said in closing, Off
GERS take oath to enforce all laws

refrain from breaking the law when
officers themselves are doing So"
Mayor Leon o. Tebbetts said that
1t was a great surprise to him that
man of Hulls calibre should have
broken the liquor law but If the
charges were substantiated he hoped
that the law would take it's course.

DR.. Harry Stilphcn of Brunswick
made a spirited attack on the bill.

of the people of the State were OPP
posed to the measure.

Police Officer Is
Sentenced on
Liquor Charge

Roy Hull, for two years a patrol
man on the Waterville police force,
was before Judge Charles w. Atch-
ley in the Waterville municipal
court yesterday to answer to three
charges of single sale of intoxicants.
Fie was found guilty on each of the
counts and was sentenced to pay
fines aggregating $500 and to serve
10 months in Jail. He appealed and
bond for his appearance before the
April term of the Kennebec county
superior court was set at $1,000.
The judge. in sentencing Hull, took
the police department sorely to task
for it's Indifferent enforcement of the
laws.
you are an officer of the law" he
said, bound by oath to uphold and
enforce all the laws on the statute
books. You will perhaps remember
a conversation that you and / once
had relative to the conduct of the
police force. 1t is bad enough to
have so many citizens violating the
rrohititory laws but when a police
man. who is looked upon as a guard
lar of the peace. does so. he must be
getting pretty low in his respect to
the city.
Judge Atchley said that several
lHlcS Ho Hdu Occl pLoilPteu "
speak from his bench concerning the
actions of the officers and he went
on, ut is too bad that 1t is necessary
to call in outside help to enforce the
laws in our city. Not once in the
four years that 1 have been on this
bench has a policeman. to my know
ledge. raised his hand against a
gambling house. house of Ill fame
or rum shop. although I have called
their attention to them many times.
Recently deputy sheriffs closed a
gambling house on a street, supposed
to be patrolled by policemen. where
gambling could be seen'going on from
out of doors. 1t Is time for the peo-
pie to wake up and demand better
enforcement of the laws governing
some of the moral issues confront
ing us today. The gambling shop.

PLEASING SHOW
PUT ON BY
ELKS OF CITY

The annual minstrel show of the
Waterville Lodge of Elks in the City
Opera House last evening delighted
an audience that filled the hall. John
j. Nolan Of Boston, himself an Elk,
staged and directed the show and
the great ease with which it was
put on does him credit.
The program was divided into two
parts, the first of which in the form
of the old fashioned minstrel per-
Torrance and the second made up of
a number of original musical acts
that proved quite an Innovation to the
audience.
Arthur J. Crafty was the interlo-
cutor and he kept the action of the
show moving right along, being ably
assisted by the endmen and soloists,
Messrs. Mclean, Dubord, Landry,
killman. Poirier. Blunt. Doyle
Langlois, Michaud and Landry.
The soloists introduced to the aud :
fence many new numbers and reca l.
ed number of the old time songs
that held the stage in bv"one days.
In the second part of the program
local girls predominated and the
variety of the numbers, the beauty
of the dancers and the appeal. of the
songs proved a big hit.

Night Fishing
EX- Representative Sherman l..
Eerry of Waterville was the first
speaker in favor of the act to pre-
vent night fishing on the inland wa
tiers. He told of incidents that hap
pened at Belgrade Lakes. where some
people fish all night and catch so
them home to feed to the hens. He
thought the best way to conserve
the fish was to stop all night fishing
and thought that everyone would be
satisfied to fish one hour before sun
rise and one hour after shutdown. e.
c. Coburn of Andover. proprietor OF
hotel at Middle Dam. Dexter Libby
and Rep Metcalf of Pennington spoke
in favor of the bill. but the measure
was opposed by Joseph A. DiGnard
of Sabattus. Mr.. Dignard said that
he thought that men should be al
lowed to fish in the night time after
they had completed their days work
and if they break the laws, the ward
ems should get after them.
J. L. Bushey of Belgrade Lakes
and Capt. r. n. Pernette of Augusta
favored the repeal of the law for
close time white perch. In an
swer to a question by Representative
Kinsman of Augusta. Capt. Pernette
stated that he believed that the
white perch were on the increase.
