Large Crowd
Attends Lecture
At Library Hall

On wednesday evening Library
hall was crowded to it's utmost ca
pacity to listen to Mrs. Sarah Lee
Whorf's lecture on "Cape Cod as the
Artists See It."
PREVIOUS to the lecture was a
short business session, when atten-
ton was called to the history of the
Maine Federation of Womens Clubs,
written by Mrs. Porter of Oldtown.
A request came from the supervisor
OF evening schools asking the CO.
operation of the club in inducing
more to attend these schools. and
stating that there were 22,240 IL
literates in Maine and 7S6 of them
IN Waterville. A committee of

was appointed to aid in this
work.
educational and library and
music departments Joined in bring
ing this very splendid entertainment
to the club. Mrs. Carl Green in a
few appropriate words introduced
Mrs. Whorf, who said she had been
born in Maine and so was pleased
when asked to come here to enter
tain Maine women. These pictures.
she said, were not Cape Cod as she
sees it but as the artists paint il.
and those who saw the pictures
know that they have glorified that
bit OF New England coas. There are
about 500 artists gathered here each
year, some of them students and
many of them far advanced in their
art. They have formed themselves
into the Provincetown Art Associa-
ton, and she said they do not paint
sunsets and lighthouses, since these
have been overworked in the past
still one or two of her photographs
token at sunset and colored would
be well worth painting.
The pictures of the sand dunes
were of great beauty, since the
color is naturally SO wonderful that
no artists eye is needed to see it,
and the trail of the walk taken by
the Pilgrims after landing over these
dunes was on interest and contained
some beautiful spots, such as the
East Harbor, so named by the Pill
grims. now called by the artists
Purple Pond" Words cannot paint
the fndescribable charm of these
dune lands with their sunset lights
as given in one of the photographs.
One cannot help envying the art
list who has lived with this wonder
full scenery long enough to see the
colors as seen in these pictures
which in some instances reminded
one Of Italian coloring near Venice
where one does not have to be an
artist to see the color.

Found Guilty on
LIQUOR Charges

Aduiia Bushey of this city was
tound guilty Of illegal possession and
Transportation of intoxicating liquor
when he was arraigned in the Wa
tsryiile municipal court yesterday
afternoon before Judge Charles w.
ltchley. On each charge he entered
Z plea Of not guilty but he was sem
tenced to pay fine of $500 and costs
and to serve three months in Jail
With six months additional in default
AZ payment on each of the two
counts, An appeal was entered and
Bushey furnished bonds aggregating
$1,000 for his appearance at the jan
uary term Of the Kennebec Superior
court. The respondent was repre-
scented in court by F. Harold Dubord
and the state had as its attorney,
3. q. Peacock.
The only witness for the state was
Oscar N. Haglund, a deputy sheriff
81 Kennebec county. His story was
that at about IL o'clock last Sunday
night he was hiding near the corner
Of Brooks and Ticonic streets when
he saw a car drive up and park on
Brooks street. Haglund said that
Abraham Davis of this city was driv-
Ing the car, a StudebalSer touring,
and that when he had brought the
machine to stop he reached into the
back seat, took a bundle containing
tow gallons of alcohol under his arm.
and started toward the house of
Stanley Washau.
At this time Haglund made an ap-
pearance and Davis was warned of
his presence, Immediately returning
to the car and starting away. The
officer jumped on the running board
and while he was endeavoring to lift
the hood of tn, automobile the bun
die was thrown into the street ind
man, who he was sure was Bushey
jumped out and fell in tbo ditch by
the side of tile road.
Hereupon Haglund pulled his re-
s0lver and orderd Davis to stop
which he did. A hasty search re-
yeaIed that there was no more liquor
IN the car and the machine was turn
cd about and driven back to where
the bundle had been thrown out.
Davis drove the car somewhat be-
yond the bundle and, after backing
up short distance came to stop
some yards from the alcohol. When
Haglund went to get the bundle
Davis started the car up and has not
been seen in the city since.
The sheriff took the bundle as EVIL
dence and the next morning he call
ed at Bushey's house and found the
man in bed. The respondent was
taken to the city building where he
was allowed his freedom on his per-
Eonal recognizance after promising
to appear at the court yesterday af-
ternoon.
Under cross examination Hagf1nd
eaid that he had not had the alcohol
tested but he felt positive that it was
grain. He was also quite sure that
Bushey had been in the front seat
Of the automobile and had been the
man to throw the alcohol into the
street.. No defense was entered.

Slowly Re-pOpulated

Tokyo, Dec. 30.-(AP)-The de-
struction of Yokohama by the 1928

was estimated there were more than
$500 foreigners living in Yokohama.
This Is less than one-half of the
number who resided there at the
