DR.. Warren B. Sanborn, an Au-
gusta practising physician, was
named yesterday by Gov. Ralph o.
Brewster to the office of Kennebec
county medical examiner, to sue
coed DR.. w. H. Harris of Augusta,
whose present appointment expires
after 10 years in office. The present
incumbant's term of office expires
July Is.
DR.. Harris has held the position
since the creation of the office, he
being largely responsible for the
passage of the bill through the
Maine Legislature. Previous to that
time practically every undertaken
was a coroner and when autopsy was
performed he called a physician of
his own choosing. Practice proved
that such plan was not for the
best and DR.. Harris was author OF
the bill for the appointment of coun-
ty medical examiners.
DR.. Harris and DR.. Sanborn have
worked closely together by times,
since DR.. Sanborn came to Augusta
from Winthrop, three years ago. and
DR.. Harris has called DR.. Sanborn
in upon examinations when another
doctor was needed to assist. His
experience with DR.. Harris will stand
him in good stead.

Capital Free of Fake
Liquor Prescriptions,
Says Local Dry Chief

Washington is practically free
from the flood of counterfeit
prescriptions for whiskey which
have made their appearance in
most OF the large cities of the
country and have been causing
druggists and the prohibition de-
partments a great deal of worry.
According to Harry L. Luckett,
chief of the Washington prohibit
ton office, local druggists, with
one or two exceptions, have not
violated the prohibition laws in the
sale of prescription liquors.
THE condition here is splendid, >"
Mr.. Luckett sai0 today. There
have been some irregularities in
the reporting Of sales, but these
were largely the result of ignorance
in filling out the reports for our
department by the druggist"
Physicians prescriptions turned
in by the druggists showed that a
number of physicians. had failed
to use the number Of prescriptions
allotted to them, while others used
their allotment long before the ex-
piration of the three-month period.
Each physician is issued book of
100 prescriptions which Is supposed
to last three months.

NEW YORK, June - Harry
X. Thaw made sensational re-
entrance into Broadway's night
life early this morning, stalled
traffic at Forty eighth street.
motored up the bride path in Cen
trail Park, and narrowly escaped
getting arrested in as wild a taxi
cab ride as ever was staged by q
movie thriller.
Rusticated- While.
Harry's readvent into the tinseled
life Of the roaring forties was
made two weeks ago. It wasn't
like the good, old days" but still
it has its lure, even in these quiet
times, and after two weeks Of rusti.
eating down in Virginia, Harry de-
cided to come back for another
whirl at 1t.
The reporters saw Harry in sup
per club on upper Broadway about
the same time Harry saw them.
tStep on it." he said to taxieab
driver in front of the club. The
driver stepped on it-with one eye
on the speedometer and the other
on a yellow-back that is big FOR
Broadway these days.
Thaw on Running Board.
Up Broadway, through Central
Park, ignoring traffic signals rid
plunging around street cars, went
the cab, with the slayer Of Stan
ford White standing on the run
ming board and yelling "Whoopee"'
Corners were taken on two wheels
and a number Of pedestrians made
flying leaps for safety.
After a chase through Central
Park, Thaw returned to his start
ing point, aglow with the excite.
ment of the ride. He fraternized
with the pretty little girls in the
chorus, and made friend for life
of one of them by telling her:
my dear, you look exactly like
Lillian Russell when she. was your
age!'
Harry was uncommunicative about
his plans.
I'm back" he said, "and not on
business either. I don't know how
long I'll stay"
Photographed For Table.
His secretary and his bodyguard
accompanied him. They arrived at
7:25 D. m. from Pittsburgh. From
somewhere along the route they
had telephoned for table for the
party. Thaw ordered a 50 dinner
all around. with orange juice on the
side
Exuberant as a boy at his second
excursion to the deep-tangled wild
wood and other scenes of his youth,
Thaw said that on his last visit to
New York he was too late to sec
the show.
This time, he said, he came early,
with the intention of seeing it and
would stay right through and see
the night show, too.
All six young women remained at
the Thaw table after the early
show and all in the party seemed
to be thoroughly enjoying them
selves.
