POLICE SCOUT WORD
BANDIT TROY HAS
TAKEN TO SKIRTS

Worcester, Mass, Aug. 23.-(AP)
-Rumors that John Troy, bandit
gang leader, is slipping in and out
of Worcester by automobile while
disguised as "1apper" persisted to-
day although police officials, who
admitted having heard the reports,
said they had received no positive
information which would substan-
tate the rumors.
Troy is of slim, youthful build and
might adopt this feminine disguise
with some measure of success but
the police say the young gunman is
not the type to hide in such a man
ner. They believe Troy prides him.
self on daring and would consider
Disgusting himself beneath the dig
nifty" of the atmosphere which now
surrounds him.
Investigation today by detectives
brought the police no closer to Troy's
hiding place.
Whether Derosier would be given
a church funeral could not be learn
ed tonight. Members of the De-
roster family said yesterday that the
burial would be on Monday. A visit
to the home this afternoon brought
response that nothing was to be
said about it." Catholic church au-
thorities declined to discuss funeral
arrangements.

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 23.--(AP)
Dorothy Ellingson, 17-year-old con-
fessed matricide. was found guilty of
manslaughter by a superior court Jury
last night.
The young defendant took the YER
diet calmly. The Jurors entered after
more than 10 hours deliberations.
Manslaughter carries a penalty of
from one to 10 years. eligible for pa
role after one year.
Dorothy made several admissions
that she shot her mother, Mrs. Anna
Ellingson, to death in a room of their
apartment here
She was brought to trial on a charge
of murder but the hearing was halted
and insanity proceedings substituted.
She was held insane by jury and
committed to the state hospital, where
she was finally held to be sane and
was returned for trial. A statute pre-
vents the execution of criminals who
commit murder under the age of Is
and Dorothy WASH but 16 at the time of
her mothers murder. She became IT
on April /.
The girl took the verdict calmly.
She was chewing gum when the jury
filed in with it's decision.

Two Rescued from
Disabled Speed
Boat in Atlantic.

Provincetown. Mass. Aug. %
CA. P.)-Two worn and haggard
men reached here today after re-
ceiving assistance from transact
lantic liner and coastguardsman OF
the Highland Light and Woods Hole
stations. Their speedboat C-50S had
capsized early Saturday morning far
out at sea and, although it righted
itself, its engine was out of COM
mission and they drifted aimlessly
until today. John Ryan of Lynn
and Charles Mccarthy of Gloucester
were the men.
On their arrival here late this
afternoon they told their rescuers
that during Friday night in a heavy
sea some So miles off Highland Light
the boat rolled over. The boat
righted itself and both. being strong
swimmers, managed to Chamber back
aboard. They bailed the craft out,
but the engine had been ruined by
the water.
The rough seas continued and
tossed their disabled boat about like
a chip while they vainly watched for
some passing ship. What little food
and water they had on board had
been spoiled when the boat rolled
over. Suffering alike from the cold
at night and the suns hot rays by
day, they were finally picked up by
the White Star liner Cedric.
The Cedric was bound for Europe
and so wirelessed Highland Light.
A crew put off and brought the men
ashore, exhausted by their adven-
lures The Woods Hole coastguards-
men then brought them to Province
town where physicians said a little
rest would restore them.

fire DESTROYS
RANCELEY CAMPS
WITH $4,000 LOSS

Rangeley, Aug. 22-Nearly so sum
mer guests were forced to seek new
shelter and several lost portions of
their personal belongings in a sweep
ing fire that today destroyed the main
dining room and 10 of the individual
camps of the group known as The
Birches on Student Island, Mooselook-
meguntic Lake, owned by Capt. Fred
c. Barker for the past 40 years.
The loss was estimated around $685.
600. Capt. Barker. aged about 40 years
and a resident of the Rangeley Sec
ton all his life, had operated the
camps for nearly half a century.
The fire started about 10 this morn
ing from spark from the fireplace
in the main dining hall landing on the
room. A high wind was blowing and
quickly famed the slight blaze that
started on the dry roof The first
word of danger came from a forest
lookout station and message was
sent to the camps, though the guests
soon knew of the fire from the rapid
Roadway it gained. The lookout men
also FASTENED to assist those at the
camps in fighting the blaze.
A large water tank furnishes fire
protection for this, as for most of the
big camps in this section, and bucket
brigades were quickly organized, but
it was found impossible to save the
camps that caught fire. OF the 20 in
the group, 10 were destroyed. These
took in all but two on one side of
the main hall. and some on the other
side. The main hall accommodated
125 to $50 guests and meals, and in
cluded the kitchen. The flames ragged
from 10 until about 3 in the afternoon,
with all the employees of the camps
and many OF the guests taking part
in the effort to save the property.
Most of the summer guests were
residents of New York, Philadelphia
and the South. No serious losses were
sustained by the guests and no one
was injured Most of those burned
out of the camps were provided for at
the Mooselookmeguntic House at
Haines Landing and other hotels and
camps for the remainder of their stay
at the lake.

Philadelphia, Aug. 23-(AP)-Both
anthracite operators and miners to-
day were apparently proceeding with
their original plans for whatever sit
uation is to develop in the coal fields
after September /, while citizens
committees appealed in vain for
pledges assuring peace.
The last week in the life of the
present working contract opens to-
morrow with both sides seemingly
hopelessly estranged. No single con-
tract, direct or indirect, still remain
ing between the mine owners and the
men yields any hope of settlement.
Operators say fatty any renewal
Of the contract on its expiration Aug
ust 81 must provide against increase
in production by 50 much as a cent"
while for granting the mems plea for
the checkoff, the owners call that i'm
possible.
The miners call this blanket re-
fusal," spelling wholesale rejection of
all their terms, and they take the
stand that unless the owners show
some yielding even negotiations are
useless.
The public outcry which developed
at NNilkesbarre, and the demonstra-
ton in New England, as displayed in
the conference of governors called in
Boston last week by Governor Fuller
of Massachusetts,. has clearly set
both operators and miners thinking.
All movements of this kind are being
watched closely by the respective bel
ligerents. John L. Lewis. president of
the United Mine Workers of America,
was reported to be in long distance
connection with district leaders in
the hard coal belt virtually all day.

Gloucester, Aug. 22.-A new
principle of pianoforte construction
which, professional musicians believe
is the most remarkable improve
ment that has been made in the.
instrument since it was evolved, two
centuries asa, was demonstrated for
the first time yesterday afternoon
at the home of it's inventor, John
Hays Hammond, Jr., in Gloucester.
The audience of 200 of Mr.. Ham
mond's friends who gathered in his
music room to listen to the recital by
Lester Donahue, were amazed at the
almost revolutionary effects which
this artist was able to achieve. Using
a concert grand piano, to which the
Hammond invention has been added,
he obtained much of the sonorous-
ness and sustained quality of pipe
I organ while retaining all the char
acteristics of the pianoforte.
In an explanatory talk which pre-
coded the recital, Mr.. Hammond said
that, in brief, his purpose had been
to give the player control over the
notes after the keys had been struck.
BY the use of "refiectors' set inside
the instrument and controlled by a
fourth pedal, it has been possible to
build up tremendous seniority and
the tones may be allowed to escape
with any degree of subtlety. In other
words, unlike the notes of the ordf-
nary piano which gradually fade
after being struck, those from an in
strument fitted with the Hammond
pedal may be sustained and even In
creased in volume many times. The
results are so astonishing experts
feel that the invention may result
in new type of musical compost

Only Tuberculin Tested Ami
mails Will Be Admitted After
That Date Word, of Comm.
Washburn-TO Make Thor
Ough Examination of All Cat
tie Within County to Stamp
Out Disease

Commissioner Frank P. Washburn
of the State department Of agricul-
ture issued an order Saturday declar-
ing the county of Piscataquis to be
under quarantine for the purpose of
complete examination and test of
all cattle therein. such quarantine to
become effective September 1, 1925.
In promulgating this order Commits
sioner Washburn is acting under the
authority conferred upon him by
Chapter "a of the Public Laws of
1925.
ION and after said date" says the
order. mo cattle of any kind except
beef animals and veals for immediate
slaughter, shall be brought into said
county of PiscataQuis unless they
have passed a tuberculin test applied
by veterinary approved by the Dr.
vision of Animal Industry of the
Maine Department of Agriculture
within one year. or are held in strict
quarantine until such test is made at
the expense of the owner"
The order recites that whereas the
Bureau of Animal Industry Of the
United States Department OF Agri-
culture and the Division of Animal
Industry of the Maine Department of
Agriculture are cooperating for the
eradication of Bovine tuberculosis in
Maine, and whereas, such eradication
work has been so successfully carried
forward in the County of Piscataquis
that only comparatively few cattle
owned therein now remain INFESTED,
it seems feasible and desirable to
make the said County of Piscataquis
a disease free area.

ARREST SUSPECT
IN ASSAULT ON MRS,
DAVIS LAST WEEK

Ellsworth, Aug. 22.-David Kim
ball, 4S years old, was arrested in
Ellsworth tonight at $50 by Fred !.
Weyand, special agent at the attorney
generals office at Augusta, as an &C
complete Of Clifton Bunker in the as
sault on Mrs. Blaine Davis last Sat-
urday when she was bound and gagged
and thrown into bath tub full of wa
ter and left to drown.
1t was learned by Weyand that KIM
ball was an uncle to Bunker, living
about a mile out Of Ellsworth in a
camp where he Is employed cutting
pulp wood. Weyand and Sheriff Ma
comber went to the camp and arrested
the man. Taken by surprise he offered
no resistance AS yet he has refused
to talk.
Bunker, who seems to be in terror
of kimball, is said to have identified
him as the man that helped him in
the assault last Sunday night. Bum
ker's description of Kimball is accu-
rate with the exception Of the scar on
the left cheek. which is lacking. Wey-
and refuses to go into details as yet
regarding the arrest.
Today while a posse beat the woods
for the supposed johnson in the case,
kimball was at the scene working
with the rest He was unarmed and
when asked If he wanted a revolver he
replied: mo. / don't need q gun for
the man you're looking for"
Kimball was formerly Of West
Gouldsboro, Me-, and has been working
in Ellsworth for more than a year.
He has been in Ellsworth every day
during the hunt and has been an en-
thusiastic reader of the papers in the
case. Friday night he was held up
on the street and questioned, as his
appearance tailed with the descrip-
tion of Bunker. However, he was
identified by men Of the street as a
man who had been working here for
over year and was released.
Hundreds of people are crowding
the county Jail eagerly waiting to get
a glimpse of the hunted man. Special
officers have been detailed for fear the
crowd, who are at fever pitch, might
make break to reach the prisoner.
The reports Of the man being in the
vicinity OF Oak Point were evidently
greundless and but the imagination of
hysterical women.
Mrs. Blaine Davis. the victim in the
assault. is still in bed and it will prob
ably be three weeks, the doctor states,
before she is able TO sit up. 1t is fear
ed that she has some broken bones.
There was report Sunday after
noon that Bunker had been detected
in trying to send a note to Kimball,
who is confined in another part of the
Jail, but the officers would say moth
ing of this.
Kimball will be arraigned in the
municipal court Monday at an hour not
yet set.

Raps Legion for
It's Past Record on
Educational Matters

New York, Aug. 23-(AP)-Par-
ticipation of the American Legion in
the national education week cele-
bration, would be IAN offense
against broad educational princi-
pies" the American Civil Liberties
Union declared today in letter to
Federal Commissioner Tigert at
Washington.
This objection is not to instruc-
tioin in patriotism as SUCH the let
ter said, "but it is a protest against
a compliment to the American Lee
gion which we believe to be un-
merited. The American Legion is
distinctly a partisan organization
and not in any sense an educational
organization. If it's record in the
past had been one of vision in edu-
cational matters instead of one of
arrogant intolerance we should feel
otherwise than we do about the
prominence which the bureau of ed
ucation has seen fit to accord it"
