THINK VICTIMS
 NIECE WAS SLAIN
Maine Authorities Dragging
 Lake for Body

Winthrop, Maine, May 2S.-(AP) While waiting for Mrs. Emma M. Towns, who is suffering from bullet wounds at the Winthrop Communi- " hospital, to recover sufficient strength for questioning. state po- lice today ccntered their efforts on search of Lake Maranacook for the body of the woman's niece, Miss Aida Heyward believed 10 have been abducted from her cottage on the lakeshore by an unknown man who shot Mrs. Towns early Wednes- day morning and then set fire to the building.
 Mrs. Towns who was wounded In the neck and right arm was some- what improved in condition today, her physician. Dr. F. Fl. Badger, said. Her heart action was strong nr and she passed fairly comfort able night. Dr. Badger was still re- luctant 10 permit his patient to un- dcrgo sustained questioning because of her weakened condition but Sher- Ift Cummings of Kennebec County hoped 10 talk with her for few moments later today. The sheriff said he desired 10 ask Mrs. Towns "one or two questions" in the hope of obtaining new light on the mysterious attack at the Lake Mar anscook cottage after the woman and her niece returned from an en- tortainment at Winthrop Village.
 The sheriff today sent 10 Augusta for several sets of graphing irons with which to search the lake for a body. Last night quascope, a simple device made from a length of stovepipe and a pane Of glass, vas constructed for use in scanning the lake bottom from a boat The sheriff said that today would be spent for the most part in work at the lake on the theory that Miss Hayward may have been killed by the man who shot her aunt There was talk today of organizing the en- tire town tomorrow 10 make thorough search Of woodland near the burned cottage. This area al ready had hecn covered by scatter ed groups Of searchers but there is chance, the authorities believe, that it may contain clues yet undis- covered.
 The state police last night invest igatcd a number of rumors and fol- lowed many clues, but it was admit ted today that no progress had been made. Search of the district by air plane failed to reveal any clue and a police dog brought here from Yer mont was unable to make out the trail of the ahductor and his victim.

CRAD7REE TODRAW
 PLANS FOR SCHOOL
Awarded Contract on New Steele F. Street Structure

Walter ?. Crabtree was the suc- ccSsful architect in the competition for the designing of the new Steele street school, it being unanimously voted a. the meeting of the school accommodation committee last eye- ming to recommend to the school board that his firm be given the contract. All nine of the local architects entered the competition. which Is one Of half q dozen held by the school board in recent years, and 1t Is a notable fact that com petition has been so keen that in no two cases has the winner been the same.
 The new school plant, which will be located on Steele street on prop erty already purchased, will cost S325,OOO. including furnishings. Tho building designed by the successful competitor will cost s2S2,O00 and be of fre-resitive construction, the exterior being of red brick with artl- ficial stone trimmings. The struc- ture will not face the street but will point eastward toward the city. There will be 12 classrooms, a gynl- rasium measuring 40 by 50 feet. an auditorium of the same size, rooms for the school physicians, nurses, and dental hygienist, room for the physical director. library. rest room for teachers, Kindergarten, two playrooms, two class rooms for nature and study and geography and two for art work, these being equipped with sinks and running water, storage and stock rooms, ade- quate cloak rooms, the principals office and waiting room, a boiler room and 8 bunker with a capacity of at least 450 tons of coal. It will be the first unit of a 3oroom building.
 Chairman Joseph NJ. Halloran of tte committee said today that 1t was hoped to have the building ready for occupancy in September, 1926. No decision has been made as to the disposition of the Lincoln school when the new one is opened.
 A comprehensive program Is still before the committee. In addition to the Steele street and East side schools now in the works and the additions being built on to several other present buildings, work in other sections is being pushed rap idly. Preliminary steps are being taken to condemn the property on the northeast corner of Shuttle Meadow. avenue and Vance street, where a new school will be erected to relieve the crowded situation In th Monroe school. The matter rests in the hands of the corporation cInsel. and, while it is expected that several property owners will meet the terms of the city, it is thought that some of the land will have to b. condemned The need is very believes. as building operations here are exceptionally rapid at the pres- eut time, and the school there will follow the ore on Steele street.
 The next unit planned by the committee will be q school on the Niets lot on Clinton street. The new Washington school is already over crowded. requiring the reopening Of the once condemned Bartlett school, Jand further accommodations are ne cded in this section. Then atten- ton must be directed toward addi- tional space for junior high school pupils, as both the Central and Eihu Burritt schools are now near capacity.
