on that charge. The driver of the car,

Rotary COnclave
Discussed at
Monday Meeting

John F. Choate and Herbert L. EN-
cry were the speakers at the meeting
of the Waterville Rotary Club at the
Elmwood Hotel yesterday noon and
they gave very interesting talks on
their observations at the spring con-
clave Of the eighth Roration district
held at Portland last week.
Mr. Emery spoke on the music at
the conclave. The fine work Of the
song leader, Fred Carberry, had
strongly impressed him and he told
Of the splendid results that the spirit
ed leader had gotten from the Rota-
rians Mr. Emery emphasized the i'm
portance of singing in the clubs pro-
gram and urged that the members
take 1t more to heart.
Mr.. Choate discussed the business
and social phases of the program in
Portland. He considered the program
as we'll rounded as could possibly be
conceived and he sympathized with
the members of the WatervilIe club
who were not present at the conclave.
Mr.. Choate said that the grand jolli-
fication Wednesday evening which
opened the program was such as to put
every delegate in the right frame of
mind for the more serious business of
stunt night on Thursday, at which a
perfect military drill by members of
the Manchester. n. H., club stood out.
On this evening also the Rotarians
had opportunity to hear the fine mu-
nicipal organ in the Portland City hall
and several selections by the orchestra
of the Portland Orchestral Society.
The report for the closing year given
in Keith's Theatre by Herbert c. Libby
of this city. the district governor, was.
according to Mr.. Choate, one of the
most impressive events of the con-
clave. DR.. Libby dwelt on the growth
of Rotary that has been shown in this
district during the last year, and as
he named the clubs that had received
charters their members took places on
the stage, making the scene a most
impressive one. Another address of
particular merit that Mr.. Choate spoke
of what that Of Hon. Charles Eaton
of New Jersey, a member of the house
Of representatives.
This evening a Rotary club at
Pennington will be chartered and it
was urged that there be goodly del
egation present at the occasion from
this city. On week from today a
club at Camden is to be chartered.
George Johnson reported on the pro-
gram that had been outlined for Boys
Week which is to be observed by Rota-
rians and members of the other serv-
ice organizations of the city during
the first week of May.
