Lewiston Fair
May Lose Stipend
Due to Girl Show

Because of condition alleged to
have existed in the midway of the
State Fair at Lewiston this week,
Clarence o. Brown, deputy sealer of
weights and measures, says he Will
recommend that the States stipend
to the fair, amounting to $1,000 be
withheld this year.
Several times during the past
week / have complained to fair Of
fcials asking that certain girl shows
be closed on account of their nature"
said Mr.. Brown to Chief Arthur S.
Field, of the State highway police.
Acting upon reports / had the show
investigated and found that condi-
lions were fully as bad as had been
represented to me. The local police,
apparently, did,not wish to interfere
The lost of the stipend would be a
serious blow to the fair association
coupled with the rainy Labor Day
which cut into the fairs profits.
Commissioner Frank p. Washburn
of the State Department of Agricul-
ture said today that Mr.. Browns re-
port on this matter had not yet
reached him.
He added that in his opinion the
Withholding of stipends might aid in
cleaning up conditions in the future.

crty of Wesley f. Grogan, promin-
ent in the Ku Klux Khan 'organiza-
ton, one OF the promoters of a plan
to harness the PiScataqua River for

about town for some days, according
to reports, and his Office furniture in
the Cookson Block has been attached

Grogan was for some wears mod
orator at the annual town meetings,
and he has been very active in pol

closely as TO what use he intended to

shoulders and muttered: do you think

the world depended upon NUM-
cation with one another and this
coul only be done by the man who
traverSed the seven seas and jour-
neyed from one country to another.
In this Maine had played particu-
lnrly prominent part in the past and
there had been n day. not very dis
tant at that. when every ocean could
rightly lay claim to having a son of
Maine travelling on. 1t. Macmillan, he
said, was one of these men, was one
of the great figures that has given
the world to the world" He declared
it took q man of courage and daring
to penetrate the frozen north as Mac
MILAN had been doing and as Peary
had done before him.
Commander Macmillan was present
ed as the hero of the hour" and was
given a greeting that was genuinely
sincere by the large crowd which faced
hmson the custom house lawn.
The explorer expressed the pleasure
felt to be back home again and thank
ed everyone for the wonderful recep-
tion they had given him. He paid a
high tribute to Col. Roosevelt's illus
trious father and made the statement
that he believed that had he not been
so active in the affairs of the nation
he would have devoted his life to eX-
ploration. Also, he added. he felt
from what he had heard of his desires
along this line that Ae would have
eventually sought the South Pole.
The commander then briefly describ-
ed the trip and praised the three wom-
en- who had been members of the expe-
dtion for the good sports" they had
been In every situation which they
had been called upon TO face.
He declared that he expected to
head an expedition next year which
would go north to remain at least 10
months or possibly two years and he
hoped, he said, to establish a station
in Labrador for scientific work which
would be continued for five years and
which would be constantly manned by
scientists.
Both Commander Macmillan and Mr..
Field brought out the fact that the
expedition had been carried on under
the auspices Of the Field Museum but
that it had been financed by Frederick
Rawson of Chicago. whose son, Ken
meth Rawson, had been n member OF
the party and who also accompanied
Macmillan on his trip last year.

presents by far the greatest epic of
the circus ever filmed.
Directed by Ralph Ince, and with
an unsurpassed cast headed by Viola
Dana. Ralph Lewis and George
O'Hara, the picture is hailed by crit
les everywhere as undoubtedly the
biggest drama of the year.
With the spangled background of
"The Greatest Show on Earth" as a
stage, the theme of the story takes
the spectator behind the scenes and
into the everyday life of the per-
formers-of Peter Blandin, proud of
his family name and record as an
acrobat-of his son, Robert, whom
he is also training as n tight-rope
artist-of Juanita Gales, dainty
daughter of the circus-of Carl Ra-
velle, who aspires Is Juanita and to
Blandin's position. How Robert, dis
owned and disgraced eventually
saves his fathers life in a thrilling
desperate climax. forms one of the
most absorbing stories ever shown on
the, screen-a story of the deepest
interest to every man, woman and
child in the country. and when to this
is added the imposing cast who are
among the supreme celebrities of
filmdom, the result is a picture
worthy of the highest praise.
The Thrilling Tyler Trio are again
delighting audiences with their own
inimitable form of entertainment in
"Out of the West" f. B. O.'s latest
Tom Tyler production which is com =.
ing to the Opera House as the second
feature film for Friday and Saturday.
This unrivalled screen combination
which includes besides Tom Tyler,
his little pal. frankie Darro, and the
faithful Sitting Bull" always has a
fresh supply of laughs, new store
of thrills and an original note in ro-
nance. This time the story has a
novel twist by Introducing Tom as a
baseball player in his off moments
when not occupied in his ranch du-
ties.
Others in the splendid cast are:
Ethan Laidlaw, ]. O'Conorn, Alfred
Hewston, Gertrude Claire and Bar
ney Furey. The screen adaptation
was made by Wyndham Citizens from

One old woman bearing flowers

said she wished to present them to

The palace was flooded today with
messages of congratulate onS and
flowers, sent by sovereign heads of
states and by humlest individuals
from all parts of the world. Among
them were messages from prominent
dgnitaries of the Roman Catholic
Church and from Guslielmo Marconi,
inventor of wireless telegraphy, from
Colonel Umbcrto Mobile. who flew
across the North Pole in the Norge
and from Gabriel DAnnunzio, Italian
writer and statesman.
Cabinet members who We're outside

Assassin Shielding
AccOmplices in Plot

Rome, Sept. 12.-(P)--Ermette Bio
vannini, who yesterday tried to assas-
sinate Premier Mussolini, is shielding
his accomplices in a wider plot to re-
move the premier and end the Fascist
regime, the Roman press declared
unanimously today.
The young would-be assassin still
insisted to the police today that he
was IAN individual anarchist" and that
he acted solely on his own initiative
and not as part of an organized plot.
The newspapers asserted. however.
that he was hiding the real facts con-
corning himself and his previous
whereabouts.

His assertion that he spent only

was discredited, it said, by the unlike
lihood of his learning within such a
short time the route followed by the
premier on his way to his office. and
the time he would pass the scene of
the attempt as well as his ability to
recognize so readily the premiers car.

had been provided with a passport.
