~ Copies Of The Ellsworth
8 III American s&vt
(By Walter P. Pio.)
The village in the old days con-
tanned many characters = and near
personages. OF such, The American
in May, 1885, makes mention:
Last Tuesday we observed a very
from the burying ground; and upon
inquiring, learned that "Old Lewellyn"
was dead"
And who is he?" We inquired.
"Why, the Englishman who has been
about here for a number of years."
Yes, we remembered then, for he
had been an object Of earnest glance
to us, having been stoop- houldered
from a musket ball lodged in his
shoulder blade in the battle OF Water
loo.
He appeared, at first glance, like a
person belonging to the humber walks
of life. But, upon conversation with
him, discovered himself to be man
been in many battles against Napoleon,
and was an officer under Wellington,
on the bloody field of Waterloo.
But who was Lewellyn? Why, sim.
Lord Raglan Of Russian war notoriety.
No! we will leave the rest to the
readers imagination"
Note-Lewellyn was buried in the
Congregational church yard.
An example of the small town
spirit is contained in the following,
printed in 1859:
I'VE saw a stranger with carpet
bag, from our back window this after
noon, who apparently had no business
authorities? They ought to be on the
lookout for dangerous looking per-
sons. or the place may be taken some
dark night"
The following week Bangor
paper said:
I'VE knew Ellsworth was small
place, but we did not know 1t could
be carried away in carpet bag.
There was a general~row on Water
street Tuesday evening. One man
was stabbed twice, a youngster had
a finger broken, another put out a
joint, by pummeling an opponent
and some dozen men and boys had
a good time CD -nupf-'HUeleusS

In 1865 The American complained
that: Union river is fast filling VI
with the refuse from the mills, such
as boards, slabs, Stockings, sawdust
etc. Soon, it will puzzle an eel to

INDUSTRIES WASTE
 MUST BE CUT DOWN
Hoover Warns If High Stand.
 ards Are To Be Bettered

Washington, Nov. s.-tP- The drive against waste in industry must be maintained if the material con- dition Of the people of the United States is to be improved further, in the opinion of Secretary Hoover of the commerce department.
 Making known his views in pre- liminary excerpts of his annual re- port, he said that all industry should continue to make better utilization of resources and efforts, and listed some of the improvements which he said had been effected in the five years since elimination of waste in industry has been stressed.
 The objectives underlying the campaign, he continued, have but one purpose-to maintain American standards of living for both workers and farmers and to place production on more stable footing by enlarging consumption and export markets through reduced production and dis tribution costs.
 "The high standards of living en- joyed by the American people are the result of steadily mounting per capita production he said. There is only way further to advance those standards, and that is by improved methods and processes, by the elimination of waste in materials and motion in our production and distribution system"

MARSHAL SUN RETURNS
Chinese General Is Reported AS Having Gone to Ranking After Losing Kiukiafig.

Shanghai, Nov. 8 H>-A Japanese despatch from Ranking says Marshal Sun Chuan-N -Nang, recently reported 10 have lost the city of Kieukiang to the Cantonese, has returned to Ranking.
 Travellers down the Yangtze river describe the panic stricken flight of the northern troops from Kiukiang, hurrying down stream in scores of junks and sampane.
 The Cantonese propaganda bureau In a statement said that the nation alists now are in complete control of Hupeh province and of Human; that they hold most of Kwangsi and that their campaigns in Fukien are prov ing successful and that the Tuchun of Yuhhan province probably will submit to Canton.
 Neutral sources of Shanghai con- sidered well informed, accept the fall of Kiukiang and the retreat of Marshal Sun toward Ranking as crowfling with success the latest phase or the anti-northern offensive of the Cantonese. They admit that Canton has established domination over a great part of the south and the richest regions of the Yangtze Valley districts with many political factors pointing to further extension of their power in the lower Yangtze region.

 MURDER TWO MORE
Herrin's Bloody Warfare Ez'
 tended to Colp, III.

Herrin. H., Nov. 5 R-strife torn Williamson county today added two more victims to it's long list of vio- lent deaths and hoped that inquiry of coroner's jury would reveal the identity of three automobile loads of gunmen who Saturday night dealt death with machine gun and rifle bullets to Mayor Jeff stone of Colp, and pugilist friend, John Milroy.
 Colp is small town three miles west of here.
 Milroy was killed when he rushed to the assistance of Stone, lying nortalIy wounded in one of Colp's main streets after he had been led with Police Chief John Keith into a death trap.
 Rumors linked Charles Birger and his faction with the deaths, that he had sworn revenge against Stone, 8 recognized politician, for not SUD- porting the republican ticket in last Tuesdays election.
 Stone and Keith early Saturday night were in a restaurant in Colp when call came to go to the roadhouse of Pete Samo, where it was reported there was trouble. Soon after the arrival of the men there, the gunmen, who had been waiting a side road sped by and levelled their guns at the mayor. He fell in the street and Milroy was killed when he ran from neighboring pool room to the assistance of his friend. Keith disappeared after he later in Carterville, three miles away in the direction the gunmen drove. Keith said he had gone there to spread the alarm.

PROHIBITION AIR
 FLEET IN ORDER
Three Amphibian Planes Start
 Hunting Rum Runners

New York, Nov. 8 R-The prohi- bition air fleet, comprising at present threo large amphibian planes armed with machine guns and having a cruising radius of 600 miles, begins service this week as the eyes of the coast guard.
 The ships are the first provided by congress at it's last session. Two Of them will have the new coast guard station of Ten Pound Island, Gloucester, Mass, as base, while the third will ply from base 9 at Cape May, N. J. The planes are similar to that used by Commander Richard F. Byrd, in his Greenland trip last year and type used by the army navy and marine corps.
 Hitherto the navy has been called upon by the coast guard for scout ing. but coast guard officers told the congressional committee last year that separate air unit was needed.
 Experiments are being made with a special reel and lifeline which, if perfected, would be used by the planes in running lines from wrecks to the shore. Their chief duties for the present, however will be that of spotting rum runners. Each plane is equipped with wireless.
 The aircraft are bright yellow with black lettering. They have especial ly thick metal bottoms for protec- tion against driftwood and special skids for landing on rocky beaches.

 CRISIS LOOMING
Garibaldi's Conspiracy Has
 Strained Relations

Paris, Nov. R investigation of the activities of Ricotu Garibal- di, kinsman of tho Italian libera- tor, in connection with the plot of the Catalans to invade Spain from French territory, is assuming a grave character because of its pos sible effect on France Italian rela- tions.
 The Investigators now maintain that Garibaldi's relations with In- spector General LaPolla of the Italian police department, and La Polla's principal assistant, Inspec- tor Scala, has been established be- yond question.
 Sante Garibaldi, also grandson of the Italian liberator, has an of- flee in Paris, nd 1t is sserted that LaPollA and Scalia in the middle of October decided to send an agi- tator named Scivoli, employed in Sante Garibaldrs office, to Italy with letters to anti-fascist republi- cans in an endeavor to unite them in huge gathering which would coincide with the Catalan separa- tist movement.
 Sante Garibaldi has requested the French people to withhold judg- ment of him for the present. Ricci- otti Is asserted to have confessed that he had conferred at length with LaPolla and Scala between October II and IS and that it was decided to send Scivoli to Italy.
 Transactions will be made of documents written in Italian found in Ricciotti Gsribaldi's trunk. If an examination of these documents results in new facts of an incrimi- mating nature Ricciotti will be ex- pelled from France, as there Is no law under which he may be prose- cuted. ..
 Colonel Macia, A spaniard, the head of the Catalan revolt, ad- mitted that he had seen Garibaldi and that he had been to Russia seeking aid for the Catalan expe- .dition. He said he was offered Rus sian propaganda, but no cash.
