Colby Professor
Speaks at Meeting
KiWaniS Club

William J. Wilkinson, professor of
history at Colby college, was the
speaker at the regular meeting of
the kiwanis club at the Elmwood
hotel last evening DR.. Wilkinson
took as his subjeC the life and work
of Abraham. His talk was intensely
interesting and he pointed many of
the characteristics Of Lincoln, his
love for democracy and for his fell
low man. He said that although
Lincoln had no especial creed and
was a member Of no church he still
had in his heart an intensely religi-
Gus feeling and it W; made manifest
through the kindness that he show
ed to all those about him. To bring
out the religious side of Lincoln's
life the speaker told the story of
Abou Ben Hamid who, one night,
was visited by an angel who told him
that he was writing down the names
of all those who love God. Abou ask
ed if his name We're included in the
list and was answered that 1t was
not But Abou maintained that he
did love his God because he loved his
fellow man and the following night
the angel returned to him and then
his name was at the top of the list.
David Armstrong of Worcester,
Mass, spoke to the members at
some length on the drive for the
Waterville Boys club which starts
tomorrow and he expressed sincere
belief that no difficulty would be
confranted in putting it over in two
days which is the time allotted.

HOLD TWO FOR
ASSAULT AND
THEFT OF MONEY

Probable cause was found IN Hnu-
nicipal court yesterday afternoon
when Fred Deschene and john van,
lancourt appeared on charge OIL
beating William Carln and robblnS
him of $4,000 or more in Winslo"
last Saturday night. Judge Charles
w. Atchley placed bonds for thelr
appearance before the April term OF
the grand jury at $500 In each case
and neither of the men had been able
to procure the necessary money at a
late hour last night.
The assault on Carlin occurred In
Winslow where he had gone voiun-
tarily with the two men saturday
night. The trio had been drinking
heavily and Carlin was knocked al
most into insensibility and the mon
ey taken from him. He was able to
make his way back to Waterville and
reported to the police who were
quick to apprehend Deschene and
Naillancourt.

Says Too Many
Bosses for OSSinee

Portlan1 I, Feb. 9.-IHat the Coast
Guard Cutter Ossipee Is being mis-
used and that orders directing her
movements come from too many
sources is the opinion of officers of
that ship. Designed by the Govern
ment so that she is able to break ice
in case of emergency and yet detail
ed to cruising in the winter months.
they complain that she is banded
hack ard forth, one hour ordered to
break out ice at some small harbor
and TIE next orderdered 10 cruise.
In an interview Captain James l..
Ahern declared that the Ossippee
can do only one or two things: She
can either break ice or she can go
cruising duty. Mixing the two. he
said, was like trying to combine oil
and water.
The Ossippee has ben cut away at
the bow SO that she is able to break
fairly thick Ice. But half of her coal
supply is carried in her forward
bunkers, while the remainder is
slowed away in bunkers at the sides.
If she is detailed to cruise she loads
both forward and side bunkers.
When the forward bunkers are full
she is not an ice breaker, for she can
whereas, if the coal supply is in the
side bUnkers, she rises up on the Ice,
as an ice breaker should, and crush
es the ice down. if she is to cruise
she must carry coal in both forward
and side bunkers, II she is to comply
with the Coast Guard regulations.
Calls come from all along the
Maine coast every day for the Os-
sipee to break out the ice, the officers
say. In the past, armed with letters
from division headquarters, Captain
Ahern has explained that it was i'm
possible for the Ossipee to break out
the ice. Headquarters have written
that the vessel IS not to be used for
ice breaking unless a ship is unable
to deliver necessary supplies or
towns on account of the ice. In spite
Of his explanations various people
have written % the Coast Guard
Headquarters at Washington and or
ders have come to break out ice.
With each order. however, has come
the admonition to save the ship from
any damage.

strong of Worcester, Mass, an ex-
pert in boys club work. has been in
the city and heshas spoken to many
OF the citizens and has given the
team members valuable advice as to
their work.

the drive for $4,000 but at the sug-
gestion Of Mr.. Armstrong this was
raised to $4,000 as this amount will
give the club enough to meet all run
ming expenses until June, 1926.

Boys Club Drive
Discussed Weekly
Rotary Meeting

Inc weekly meeting of the Rotary
Club at the Elmwood Hotel yesterday
noon was concerned largely with the
drive for funds for the WatervilIe
Boys' Club which opens in the city to-
/ morrow morning.
David Armstrong was the principal
speaker. He said that during the few
days he has been in the city he has
dealt largely with generalities. but he
wished to talk to the men Of a few
individual cases which to his mind
best illustrated the splendid work the
clubs are doing throughout the coun-
try. Mr.. Armstrong has been connect
ed with the club in Worcester for the
last is years and he has had a fine
opportunity to study the mind Of a
boy and the best cure for those boys
in whose IFS there was something
lacking.
Among the men who were at one
time members of the Worcester club
are included the largest real estate
dealer in the city, two ex-mayors of
Worcester and Brig. Gen. Thomas H.
Foley Of the United States army, none
Of whom had an exceptional start in
life but were so trained that they
were able to take advantage of their
chance when 1t came
He cited a number Of instances
where boys had been saved from the
police court and from lives Of crime
through the work Of the club and, as
a final word. he said that there was
nothing more worth while than the
saving of a boy whose environment
and associations were such that he
was going the wrong direction In life.
DR.. +. T. Hill also spoke of, the inn
pressions that he had gained on a re-
cent visit to the clubhouse.
A letter from DR.. L. c. Gray Of
Portland, head Of the Childrens Hos
pital there, was read by Herbert L.
Emery. which told Of the work the
hospital was doing and the need Of an
increase in facilities. A committee
was instructed to put before the Leg
islature now in session a resolution
calling for the appropriation of s25,-
600 towards the hospital, provided
that the people of Maine could raise
an additional $4,000 to go along
with it,

same Joseph Vachon in the other
two cases in municipal court. The
State produced a check which Libby
said he paid Vachon for the alohol.
The defense claimed that the res
pendent was not guilty and that the
check produced by the State was
given to him by Libby in payment
of money borrowed by Libby from
him. 1t was brought out in the de-
defense that there were two charges
against Libby.
Fachon was the only witness for
the deferse. The jury after being
out % minutes returned a verdict of
guilty. All traverse jurors were fl

We're cordially thanked by Judge
Phlibrooll for their splendid service
during the term.

morning when other prisoners will
receive their sentences and divorce
