Brunswick Man
To Face Charge of
Cruelty to Animals

Brunswick, Me, Dec. 6-Robert H.
Mallett, who conducts farm at
Hardings has been ordered to report
in the municipal court tomorrow
morning to answer to the charge of
cruelty TO animals. A warrant to
that effect was sworn out by Chief
of Police Williams b. Edwards this
afternoon following an investigation
which he made at the Mallett farm
as the result of the complaint of
neighbors.
Mr.. Mallett and his mother, Mrs.
Salome Mallett, widow of William A.
Mallett, live on the farm. When
Chief Edwards arrived he found no
less than 20 cats and three hens in
the house, which was being heated
by dead twigs picked up in wood
lot for which the Malletts not long
ago refused $4,000 In barn with
all cracks open to the weather Chief
Edwards found three cows. two
horses and quite a large number of
hens. The barn evidently had not
been cleaned out for many weeks.
No effort had been made to close the
wide cracks on all four sides and
snow from today's blizzard was
everywhere evident. The horses and
cows had no protection whatever
and We're being fed on poor hay
which was not cut until the last of
September and October The two
horses had gnawed through their
stalls and half the length of their
bodies into the haymow in search OF
food and protection.
From neighbors ii was learned that
in the weeks following the fall har-
vest Mallett was frequently caught
nights wandering through the fields
picking up discarded turnips, pota
toes and other vegetables which he
said he was taking home for food.
Chief Edwards learned that in addi-
ton to the $4,000 wood lot the fam
lily owned another which was nearly
as valuable, while the farm is con-
sidered one of the best in town. Mall
lett claimed that he was unable to
repair the barn on account of pow
erty.
Mallett has for years been consid-
cred eccentric. One of his oddities be-
ing his habit of wearing his hair well
down on his shoulders, claiming that
he was liable to severe colds. During,
the war when he was in danger OF
being drafted his mother wrote the
War Department that it would be
impossible for him to go if his hair
had to be cut. When drafted he fail
ed to pass the physical tests.

Italian Bachelors
Must Pay Fat Tax
For DOdging WedlcOk

Rome, Dec. 6.-(P--Italy bachel-
ors will have to pay for their Freedom
from matrimonial responsibilities aft
er the first of the year. Her spinsters,
however, will not be penalized for
their unmarried state.
Premier MuSsolini's cabinet. which
handled an enormous amount of work
today from the creation of II new
provinces to a report on recent border
demonstrations, instituted on male
celibacy, on the suggestion of the pre-
mier in furtherance of his campaign
against birth control which he initial
ed eight months ago with the declara-
ton that Italy is prolific nation
and intends to remain prolific"
The measure, which was approved
by the cabinet as a decree law to be-
come effective January I. 1927, pro-
vides an annual tax on a progressive
scale for men between the ages of %
and SIS who abstain from marrying.
Spinsters We're excluded from the
penalization of singlehood because, as
the premier stated, the failure to
contract matrimony does not depend on
the desires of women"
The money raised by the tax will be
used by the National Organization for
cy, which cares for 10000 women and
$4,000 needy children.
The nature of the premiers day and
night labor, since he assumed the port
folio of the interior, came to light to-
day with the adoption by the cabinet
of scheme completely reorgani2ing
the provincial structure of Italy. This
provides for the suppression of all
s,Ih-nrefectureS. the abolition Of ID
Townships; wholesale shakeup of
procedures with the appointment of a
number of Fascist projects.
An increased number of provinces
were needed, the premier said, in order
to strengthen the direct relationship
between the central government and
the various parts Of the nation and to
divide the burden of prefectural work
which b4same heavy through Fascist
legislatioA increasing the powers and
duties of the project.

Storm Affected
Arrival of Trains
In Bangor Station

Bangor, Dec. 6.-tP) -, Eastern
Maine was in the grip of winter to-
day. Six inches of snow which
drifted badly before northwest
wind had fallen up to noontime, at
which hour however, the force of the
storm appeared to be abating. The
two early morning trains from the
West were over eight hours late due
to slippery rails, railroad officials
stated, rather than from drifts. Troll
ley traffic here was little affected.
Anchor ice threatened to close
down the VeaZie power station of the
Bangor Hydro electric Co., which
was running only five per cent of nor
NAL.
The storm struck Aroostook coun-
ty at about three o'clock this morn
ing and the snow was reported as
drifting badly. The Bangor and
Aroostook railroad train service was
maintained nearly on schedule by
pillow trains sent out early on ali
lines.

escaped through the opening, but
were unable to reach shore.
A trail of broken and bent bushes
leading from the road to the pond
led to the finding of the submerged
automobile. Police were uncertain
whether the car had failed to make
turn in the highway and had
plunged through the bushes, and into
the pond, but were more inclined to
believe that the driver had turned in
among the trees to park, turning Off
the lights and motor and setting the
brake. The ground there slopes
gently toward the water, and the po-
lice believe the brake failed to hold
and the car rolled down the incline
before Thomas could stop it.
