Believed To Be First Case On
This Charge in Connection
With the Burning of an Au-
gusta Building-Former Lo-
cal Insurance Agent Indicted
For Embezzlement

Samuel Klain Of this city will APP
pear at the calling of the docket at
the superior court this afternoon as
the result of secret Indictment
charging he and Israel Klain of Lew
. iston with arson. Israel Klain has
given bonds and so will not appear at
the calling of the docket. The secret
Indictment was returned by the grand
jury which rose on Friday for the Jam
uary term of the Kennebec county SUI
perior court and is result of a Sc
| rious fire which occurred about 11.45
O'Clock on the evening of December
"a. 1924, when a building known as
the ill-Macomber building at 129 to
1873 Water street, this city, was gut
ted
The building which was damaged
was occupied at the time of the fire
by Israel klain of Lewiston and Sam
Barron Of Waterville as n shoe store.
by Alfred Y. Tong as a restaurant and
by William Bourgette as a boarding
house. The estimated loss was about
$4,000, the restaurant and shoe store
being complete Quilted and the board
ing house thoroughly wet down as the
flames worked up through nearly ev-
cry wall in the structure.
Mr.. Tong lost all Of his possessions
aud barely escaped himself, being
obliged to jump from a back window
in his stocking feet. Several families
in the boarding house were also forced
to leave the building i'm their night
clothes.
1t is believed that this is the fffst
arson case ever heard in court arising
from a fire in Augusta and consider
able interest which was aroused at the
time of the fire and the subsequent in
vestigation will be rekinded with the
hearing of this case.

Third Party Experiences in

OTTAWA, September 3.--Advice to
Canadian labor against participation
in politics as a distinct political group
was given the Canadian Trades and
Labor Congress yesterday by James
Duncan, vice president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.
Don't be too gay about trying this
third party stuff" he warned. I'VE
have tried it in the States. and 1t isn't
worth It,"
He said American labor had OBJ
tanned much advantageous legislation
by remaining out OF politics. In Eng
land, he said, the case was different;
labor there had some OF the brainiest
men in the world"
American labor wants the sale OF
beer legalized in the United States.
Mr.. Duncan told the congress. Some
of our Michigan fellows say your On
tario "A per cent beer is not much
good" he said, but where I come
from we are willing to accept 2.75
beer, and we are going to get it. But
we don't want TO get back to whisky
drinking"
A declaration that British labor
some day may be called upon to stop
the wheels of industry to prevent war
was enthusiastically applauded by the
congress. This statement was made
by A. G.. Walden, secretary of the
Railway Clerks Association of Great
Britain. who brought greetings to the
congress from British labor.
Some day" he said I'VE may have
to say to a reactionary government.
your policy may result in an armed
conflict somewhere in Europe. If you
are going into war we are going to
stop the wheels of industry. There
shall be no more war "
