The jury had been excused early to
permit counsel to argue over admis-
sion of additional dispositions from 81
prominent politicians and business
men throughout the country, five OF

Reading of the dispositions had con-
tinued with the understanding that

introduction of that kind of evidence
proved to be so long drawn out, how
ever, that Colonel Proctor's counsel
objected to more of 1t.
No decision was reached. however.

was made in view of the extraordinary
demand of exhibitors and the record
breaking attendance. Over 100000

great that daily average of about 20
per cent. of all the people who pass
through the main exposition gates are
going to the new Pine Tree State

Maine is concerned was a real State OF
Maine shore dinner which was given to
President Joshua l.. Brooks Of the
Eastern States Exposition and his as
sociates by the exhibitors in the State
of Maine building. Mr. Brooks par
ty consisted of about 90 including sew
eral prominent in national affairs.
The dinner was cooked by the ia
nous Maine shore dinner specialist.
Commissioner Douglass, and the lob
sters, clans and fish served were
brought all of the way from Maine.
They were shipped through by special
express and arrived on the grounds
at $50 tonight. The dinner was served
at in the Trinity Methodist church
tent, which Is located but a short dis
lance from the Maine building.
Last night the Maine commission
ers were guests Of President Brooks OF

pied his private box at the horse show.

ed into the grounds today due to the
fine weather, and the Maine building
was crowded with people as early as
this morning.
Maine people continue to arrive In
Springfield to see the fair. mrany
frankly declaring that they did not in
tend to come but decided to when they
learned Of the great success OF the
New Maine building. Luther b. Mad
dock of Boothbay Harbor arrived to-
day. A group of we'll known Portland

Auburn, Me-, Sept. 24.-There Is a
"punch" in the statement Of Charles
s. Hichborn, prominent in prison
work in Maine, when he replied. this
week, to an inquiry as to his opinion
on the value of w. c. T. L. work, az
related to prisons. Said he:
Il am advised that the w. G. T. U
is to hold its annual convention In
Auburn Sept. 80 to Oct. I'd. Good
for the Association and good for the
city.
"Surely no one who has the inter-
est of the State at heart and knows
the wonderful work which this or
ganization has done and Is doing can
fail to hold it in very highest regard
my prison work has strengthened
life time conviction that liquor
and narcotics are the basis of three
fourths of the prison cases.
whatever can be done to lessen
the use of these two agencies of hell
by just so much will serve the moral
and the economic welfare Of this
country.
Certainly no body Of men or wo-
men is doing better work, in this re-
gard, than is the w. c. T. L. 1t is
entitled to the warm support OF
every decent citizen" ---,s
This convention, says Mrs. Althea
G. Quimby. president. will bring out
the work to be done in educating the
rising generation to respect for the
laws of the land and to the wisdom
of temperance and the other ideals
of the w. c. T. u.
She was pleased that at the N. e.
Conference of Federated Women's
Clubs at Poland Spring this week,
Mrs. Danforth, head of the Maine
Federation, SO warmly espoused the
cause of prison betterment.> The two
organizations have much in common,
