Letter to Chamber
Commerce Pleads
For Baseball Club

A letter of more than usual interest
which has come to the chamber of
commerce is one signed by Citizen
and Taxpayer" and which urges that
the chamber get behind movement to
procure a baseball team for Waterville
this summer. 1t is evident that the
writer is we'll acquainted in the city
and he is of the impression that at the
present time there is the nucleus of
strong team in the city and that it
would be necessary to get but very
few players from away. and that
Seavers Field could easily be acquired
for the use of the team The writer
points out the fact that a summer
baseball team means much to summer
visitors and he says that last year
many went from the Belgrade Lakes
each week to Lewiston SO they could
see the ball games in that city.

Rainy Weather
Fails to Hinder
Elm CITY Shoppers

Rainy weather had no appreciate
effect on the annual spring opening
which were held in Waterville stores
yesterday and the shoppers were out
in goodly numbers. The stores had
been made very attractive for the
occasion both in their show window
decorations and in interior arrange
ments.
As might naturally be expected the
chief interest centered about the la
dies shops. Although there were no
elaborate programs every store made
a distinct effort to present that latest
styles in the most pleasing way and
the impressions made on the visitors
was very pleasing. Grsys and blues
seemed to be the predominating col
ors for suits and dresses this year. In
the mems clothing stores a wide va
riety of light colored spring suits and
top coats were shown as we'll as at
tractive lines of haberdashery.

Members Elm City
Police Visit Pool
Room, Owner Missing

When members of the Waterville
police force visited the Royal Pool
rooms on Main street yesterday
morning because their owner had
been unaccountably absent from the
city for several days, they found
that the furnishings of the room had
been destroyed and that they were
in state of great confusion. The
officers who made the discovery were
Deputy Marshal Albert Thibodeau
and officer Walter Maheu.
search of the city yesterday for
George Nagem, the owner of the es-
Enlistment. was to no avail and the
authorities fell sure that he has fed
from the city, leaving behind him in
Vulnerable debts. 1t is said that at
least two and probably three mort
cages had been placed on the prop
erty. Added impetus to Nagem's
fight was undoubtedly given by the
fact that he was to appear at the
April term of the Kennebec county
superior court to answer to liquor
charges.
full realization of the damage
which was done the pool room be-
fore Nagem's departure can be gain
Ell only by a visit there. The felt
from each of the pool tables had
been removed and torn into shreds
while many of the tables themselves
had been irreparably damaged. The
cues had been sawed in two. An
electric piano of considerable value
had been taken apart piece by piece
and strewn from one end of the room
to the other while the cash register
had been tempered with TO such an
extent that it was rendered worth
less.
A little room measuring about 10
feet by seven adjoining the pool
room was used by Nagem as a bed
room and here the bed clothes had
been torn into small pieces. A num-
Der of letters had been torn into
shreds so small that no clue as to
where Nagem might have gone can
be gained from them.

Plain living is the real basis Of in
dustrial efficiency, of education. of
culture and of happiness We can
also say that an unlimited vocabu.
larry Is the basis of culture besides
being a corner stone of the English
language.
"As our knowledge increases and
we have to express our thoughts on
a greater variety of subjects, we
feel the need of a greater stock of
words. Wide and attentive reading
is the best way to enlarge ones vo-
cabulary.
I'm order to do this, one thing is
necessary. If we really desire to add
words to our vocabulary, we must
apply that all-important factor. at
tention. Through lack of concentra-
ton many well-expressed thoughts
are overlooked. If the mind is on
the alert, every book we read and
every sensible conversation in which
we engage should add to our sup
ply of disable words.
Have you a vocabulary? Do you
use 1t? In answer to these questions
we say. The right kind of practice
gives one the right kind of perfec-
tion'."

released by the district attorneys
ONCE. after it had been in hand So
hours.
The district attorney had hesitat-
ed to do this because the perfection
of the crime machines operations
was considered bad example for
youths to read.
Several other developments in con-
nection with the police investiga ton
tended to direct attention from
Whittemore.
These included the announcement
OF search for fifth jeweler alleged
to have bargained with the gang,
and also an intensified search for the
tenth member of the gang. whose
capture, the police believe. will clean
up the hornets nest of criminals.
Guided by the confessions of Pal.
adino and William Unkelback, the
police sought for jeweler/ whose
two-faced activities were the con-
meeting link between the robbers
work and clients of Fifth avenue
jewelers..
This man was described as always
carrying $4,000 in cash with which
to buy stolen jewels. Transactions
were completed with him in from
one to four days and the basis OF
pay was reported as being a fixed
percentage of the announced valua-
ton OF jewels in newspaper stories
Of the robberies.
The tenth man sought by the po-
lice was the driver of the automobile
in the robbery of another Figth Av-
enue jeweler which Melted diamonds
valued at almost a half million dol
lars.
Whittemores father was received
by his son in calm Indifference, the
middle-aged mans tears having no
effect upon the boy, who his father
said is not yet %.
The wife, for whose freedom the
young man tried to bargain. is "a.
The police indicated they were not
inclined to accede to his offer.
Hopes of the Baltimore. Maryland,
authorities to have Whittemore turn
ed over to them for trial on charge
Of numbering a prison guard in an
escape there more than a year ago,
looked brighter today.
The New York police wanted
Whittemore here only until complete
information has been gathered
against the members of his gang,
and ii was thought in official circles
that Buffalo authorities. who also
want him. would agree to Baltimores
request. Whittemore was identified
as a member of the gang that mur-
dered two guards in an armored car
in a $4,000 robbery in Buffalo last
October. nine months after his es-
cape from Baltimore.
A request for Unkelback also was
registered today by authorities in
MiddleseS County. n. j., who charg-
ed him with the theft of $4,000
worth of liquors there.
An automobile used in one Of the
gang robberies was recovered by the
police today from a garage where Il
had been placed after having been
kept in Cleveland for several weeks.
