Joseph Nadeau's fight from the

with a gallon glass jug containing
alcohol under his coat was brought
to an abrupt halt when he was sent
to the concrete roadway Of CASTOR

painfully.
The alcohol had been seized from

Rotary Song Leader
Main Speaker Before
Fellow Club Members

John F. Choate. popular song lead
er OF the Waterville Rotary club, was
honored at the weekly meeting of
that organization yesterday noon at
the Elmwood hotel Song leaflets,
complimentary to the leader, were
distributed among the members and
for the day he was relieved of his
, duties, George Vose taking his place.
Mr.. Choate was also the speaker
and he took for his subject. liar
mony." or. How to make 65 Rotar-
ians Sing" He dealt in a very in
terasting way with the history and
development of the music business
and Of the various instruments.
The backbone Of the music bust
ness, declared Mr.. Choate, is the pi-
ano and he recalled the days when
c. r. Cressey, now one of the largest
with a team in which he carried an
organ.
The earliest known musical in
strument was the Chinese Ike made
OF about so silken chords. In $50 B.
c. Pythagoras perfected the mono
chord, single stringed instrument
which was the forerunner of the pi-
ano.
In the 14th century Spinetti of
Venice perfected the spinet and in
the following century the clavichord
came into being. This was followed
the grand piano Of today.
In 1925 Alpheus Babcock Of Boston
invented the steel frame for pianos
and from this the fine instruments of
today have come. Recent inventions
have made the piano a much better
instrument than 1t was a compare
lively few years ago.
The invention of the saxophone in
the middle of the last century led to
rapid improvement in band instru-
ments which for centuries showed no
development, Mr.. Choate said, and
he added that people were more and
more coming to play some instrum-
ent instead OF being listeners.
At the close of his talk Mr.. Choate
declared jazz music to be an effect,
not a cause and he said that the
music Of people was just what they
made It, He urged that the service
clubs Of the city combine in bring
ing to Waterville people good music.
Carroll N. Perkins said few
words concerning the concert which
is to be given at the City Opera
House next week for the benefit Of
the waterville Community Service
and said that since it had been the
Rotary club which had given the
service its first boost it should carry
the good work on.
The Halloween party OF the club
Is to be held at the Universal1st
church vestry on the evening OF
Wednesday, Oct. %. and the Monday
meeting preceding that date will be
omitted.

Reports on the sale of tickets for
the Community Service Concert are
extremely gratifying up to the pres
ent time. Two of the artists who
are to appear have been heard here
before and gave great satisfaction
and pleasure. Miss Gladys Cyr,
mezzo soprano, was formerly a pupil
of Mrs. Frank B. Hubbard of this
city, under whose leadership she
studied four years. Following this
she studied for year at the Con-
seryatory Of Music in Boston under
Mr.. George Ferguson, who urged fur
Their study in New York. She has
now completed her fourth year in
New York and Is now planning to do
concert work. 10
Miss Cyr has a voice of great
range, brilliant and rich, besides a
very attractive stage presence. She
has sung in New York at several re-
citals and also at one of the radio
stations.
A great treat is in store for the
children of school age, who will en-
joy the matinee to be given by the
above artists on the afternoon fol-
lowing the concert at the Opera
House. Most Of the children are
personally acquainted with Miss Cyr,
who distributed the souvenirs to the
boys and girls at the Fairgrounds
last summer. The concert will be in
line with the school work in music
which is of vital Importance in the
education and inspiration of every
child.
Harold Kravet. associate artist
with Miss Cyr, is a young Russian
who has also studied under Mr.. Fer
gusson. He has appeared In grand

DIR. Averill HOnOred
Regular Meeting
Wat. American Legion

DIR. George A. Averill was honored
at the regular meeting of the George
N. Bourque post Of the American Le-
gion last evening and he was pre-
scented with a beautiful set of Legion
book ends. The presentation was
made by the commander Of the post,
Howard B. WEIGH. who spoke Of the
friendship that the guest had al
ways shown the Legionaires and he
assured him that it was much appre-
ciated by the members of the post.
DR.. Averill said that 1t was with
the greatest of pleasure that he was
present and he told the members
that, having no boys Of his own,
those of the Legion were particular
ly likeable to him. The doctor char
acterized the Legion as 1.-THE power
behind the government" He prom
Used the Legion his support at all
times and at the conclusion of his
short talk he was roundly applaud
ed.
Rev. Leopold H. r. Hass, pastor of
the First Baptist church. gave an
inspiring address on the ideals of the
Legion. To his mind there are two
distinctive ideals of the organization.
The first is the fellowship of the
Legion. Not the fellowship of the
workshop or the office but that which
is moulded in the mutual sufferings
of war, was a common bond that the
Legionaires have and he said 1t was
one which they should value highly.
The second ideal was that of SER
vice. Rev. Mr.. Hass said that he
thought the first service of the Le-
gion was to keep the true horror of
war at all times before the eyes of
the growing generation so that they
may never have to go through such
a conflict as that which came to
close seven years ago. 1t Is also the
Legion's duty, he said, to do away
with hatred between nation and ma
ton and to see that the country was
always prepared so that 1t need not
fear attack.
Cyril M. Jolly explained the nature
and purpose of the Robert M. Sto-
bic trophy which Is soon to be
awarded to that member of the post
who has shown the best spirit and
done the best work during the year
There was considerable discussion
of the Capt. O'Hay lecture which is
this evening at 8 o'clock. Comman-
der WEIGH announced that through
the kindness of the management of
the lecture, the public speaking de-
partment Of Colby college, coupled
with that of DR.. Averill. 1t has been
arranged that all members of the post
could attend free of charge and all
the members were urged to be pres
ent DIR. Averill in his talk also spoke
of the concert and told the Legion
aires that they should all be pres

FARM|NCTON
Storm Damage

The storm and high wind OF Sat
urday and Sunday brought greater
havoc in Franklin county than any
storm in many years. One orchard
of 80 or more trees not far from
Pennington, owner unknown, was
completely ruined, every tree being
leveled to the ground, not one be-
ing left standing. Many other or
chards suffered in like manner
though not to quite the same extent.
Many hundreds of fine apples still on
the trees were destroyed or render
ed fit only for canning or for cider,
at q great loss to the owners. Many
shade trees were blown down also,
and people going over almost any
of the roads hereabouts early Sun
day, were obliged to cut away and
remove trees and other distractions.
The light and power companies In
this vicinity suffered severely, many
wires and some poles being down.
There were no lights or power Sat
urday from 11.30 A. NJ, to p. M,
when they came on after obstruction
had been removed. Sunday evening
they were off again for q time. Tele-
graph and telephone wires were also
down and caused a lot of trouble
and expense. More than foot of
snow fell in the northern part of
the county, and scores of cars were
stalled on the roads to Rangeley and
Eustis. above Phillips and Kingf1eld.
On the Belgrade road south OF
Pennington. there was also heavy
fall of snow and cars were bothered
for a time. In this village many
trees were down, one big tree block
ing Perham street for several hours.
and another big elm In the yard OF
Charles H. Pierce at the corner OF
Broadway and grazing his house
and just barely escaping doing SER
ious damage. Crops not yet gather
ed, and there are a good many OF
them scattered around, are badly
damaged and the farmers are suf-
ferers to a very large extent from
this most unusual October storm.

some of the states evidence had been
pilfered and the judge Immediately
started in pursuit. When he reach
ed the door leading to Castonguay
Square Nadeau was making his way

l.. l.. Levine, another attorney, as
sisted in holding Nadeau. The man
was brought back to the city build
ing by Police Officer Joseph Violette
where he was placed in Jail and he
will probably be arraigned today on
a number of counts.
Two weeks ago Nadeau was tried
on a charge of resisting officers of
the law in the execution of their du-
ties and he was sentenced to serve 80
days in jail. The sentence was con-
tinued and yesterday Nadeau told
the judge that he was ready to COM
mence serving his time.
WiIlette's Trial
Victor Willette, on charge of the
illegal possession of intoxicants was
sentenced to pay a fine of $500 and
costs and to serve six months in jail
with six months additional in de-
fault of payment.

street was visited about o'clock last
Saturday afternoon by deputy sher-
