Paris

South Paris, Me-, Nov. 20-With
several officers of the forced sum
moned as witnesses to Portland for
the arraignment of J. A. BoardmaD,
alias J. A. Baldwin, on federal
warrant and two of the motorcycle
squad of State Police summoned
into another county as witnesses In
another matter. there was tempor-
airy lull IN developments in recover
ing the scores of stolen cars located
in this section.
Chief Arthur II. Field OF the state
Police went to Augusta this morning
for the weekend. Monday or Tues
day the work will again be taken up
and rushed to completion in this sec
ton. a total Of 81 cars stolen in the
vicinity of Boston have so far been
recovered. The day the arrest Of
Baldwin was made the first of the
stolen cars was recovered. on
Thursday II cars were recovered
from individuals in this vicinity and
three from Pine Tree garage owned

On Friday Chief Field and a squad
went to Berlin, n. H., TO Frank Cof
fms garage. Two Fords were taken
from this garage, and brought to
South Paris last night. Mr.. Coffin
accompanied the officers on the New
Hampshire trip where letters and
papers, considered bv the officers as
very valuable to heir case, were Sc
cui ID. While the chief was away
Lieut.. Young and several of the
motor police secured four more cars
from their owners in oxford.
More than 20 other cars have been
located and all that remains is the
necessary time for officers to go aft
err them. Another locality has been
located in another section, which is
understood to have IS cars which
came from the Boardman source.
The continued developments in the
case seem to indicate t'at the total
number of Boston owned cars which
may be recovered in this section of
Maine will grow rather than de-
crease as the investigation goes on.

CROWDED HOURS FOR
QUEEN IN GOTHAM AS
SAILING DATE NEARS

New York. Nov. 21-(P-Queen
Marie's desire for resi- and relaxa-
ton before sailing for nome on We'd
nesday, was set aside today while
she was whisked hither and yon
keeping four engagements that kept
her on the move from 8 o'clock this
morning until past shutdown.
After little more than five hours
sleep at the Tuxedo home of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles +. Mitchell, Marie
motored to New York to spend an
hour in the Metropolitan Museum. to
lunch at the apartment of Mrs.
Robert Weeks Kelly, to tea at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Ira Nelson
Morris and then back to Tuxedo for
dinner at the Mitchels'.
Princess Ileana was away even
earlier than her mother. motoring to
calvary church and then taking
lunch with the rector, the Rev. Sam
uel NJ. Shoemaker.
Ileana was accompanied by Mrs.
Ida A. Mari, her governess, and j.
B. Ayres, Ford Motor Company rep
resentative, who said he was in the
car during the drive at the request
Of Queen Marie. He was dismissed
from the royal train several days
ago in Seattle when Colonel John
II. Carroll, in charge of the special
train, objected to newspaper stories
quoting Ayres.
Samuel Hill, millionaire, who left
the train at Seattle after becoming
involved in the disputes aboard 1t,
put in an appearance here today.
!, IN, Mics Nav Rirk hpa d n
member of the Hill party on the
train and who left it at Denver.
They appeared at the Kelly home
some time after Marie had entered,
Hin being ushered to the Queens
table. He refused to say whether
he would be here to say good bye to
Her Majesty on Wednesday.
II don't know what my future
plans are" he said. II am always
subject to Her Majesty's commands,
you know"
Before she began her days activi-
ties Queen Marie authorized de-
NAL of any connection with pub
licity concern which has announced
to it's clients that it soon will be in a
position to give nationally known
products the queens endorsement.
Mr.. Morris, who is conducting
Her Maiestys tour of New York said
Marie did not know Harry Klemfuss,
head of the concern, and that she
had had no negotiations with him.
A similar denial of any connection
with such endorsements was issued
by the queen while in Chicago, with
particular reference to New FORK
hat maker who presented two BON
nets and then published the formal
letter of Acknowledgement.
Another wish expressed by Marie
went by the boards today. After
brisk run from Tuxedo to the Tar
rytown ferry over the narrow and
rough roads. the queen asked the
escort of state troopers to hold the
speed to 45 miles an hour. After
the crossing. however. the motor
cade speeded through Tarrytown
and Yonkers into New York at 90
miles, because a half hour wait for
the ferry threatened to set back the
entire program.
The ferry was missed when the
queens own chauffeur had to stop
while a mechanic investigated smok-
ing brake bands.
General Pershing was guest at
the luncheon at the Kelly home.

Work Of Making
Temporary Repairs
Starts in Gardiner

The work of making temporary re-
pairs on roads, bridges and sidewalks
In Gardiner and vicinity was started
early Saturday morning in order tC
accommodate stormbound travellers
Much of the damage done in Gardiner
is irreparable, such as that done by
the flooding of cellars, when valuable
winter stores, such as preserves and
vegetables were lost. The damage
caused by washouts will be particu-
larly heavy in this vicinity, for the
heavy rain worked havoc on low ly-
ing land. 1t is understood that the
progress made on the Togus bridge
at Moulton stream is practically WHIP
ed out by the flood waters from the
kennebec, While damage was also
sustained to the work at the Winter
street bridge.
The selectmen of the town of Pitts
ton had a crew at work on the wash
out beyond the first bridge, and ex-
pected that a temporary bridging
could be used today. Several resi-
dents of Pittston who attempted to
detour by way of Whitefield ran into
difficulties Saturday night and it was
reported that two cars were forced
to remain over night and to be haul
ell out the next morning by horses
using tackle and falls.
n crew from the State Highway de-
partment was at work on the state
road -Farmingdale Saturday. there
being bad washout at the foot OF
Bowman street while the sidewalk al
the foot of North street was badly
washed out. One Of the first Sec
tions to be repaired was the place
just this side of Cove Manor which
was temporarily fixed by a crew
Gardiner street department so tina,
automobiles could get through to
South Gardiner. Oak street at the
Central street end has several plac
es gouged out by the heavy rains
while the other side streets from
Central down onto upper Water
street also suffered from the storm
The section of Water street from
Central down to Winter street bridge
was badly damaged, and will require
much work before it is again in good
condition.
The scene presented from the
height of Bridge street looking down
onto the mill pond was one of DESC
latlon after the storm for debris was
floating about in the overflow of wa
ter from the banks of the stream
Among the sufferers from the high
water was w. L. Tozier who owns
the houseboat now occupied by Guy
5. Holt as cleaning plant. The
boat was lacked up and placed on
posts well out of reach of ordinary
high water. 1t was piped for water
and wired for electricity. The high
tides of Saturday fioated the boat
thus uplifting the uprights upon
which it stood, and it became neces-
sary to disconnect the water pipes
and wiring effects
High tide on Saturday brought the
water up onto the wharves washing
away the filings as we'll as coal and
other property Acored there. Talbots
teams were kept working all night
Friday moving the leather from the
steamboat wharf to the r. p. Haz-
card factory, as freshet threatened
With the highest tide the water was
on a level with the flooring of the
temporary bridge at Moulton stream
and several times 1t was expected
that this would go out, but all dang
er Is considered past now.

Busy Day for
Fire Department

The fire crew from the Central
Station had another busy day Satur-
day before they had an opportunity
to recuperate after their strenuous
labors of the previous day. Three
calls which were answered Saturday
were somewhat out of their regular
line of duty but were cared for eff
ficiently. At noon the pumper was
used to pump the water out Of cell
lar on River avenue, which had fill
ed up in Fridays storm. A lady
driver who overworked her brakes
coming down one of Gardeners big
hills in the afternoon decided that
her car was on fire, and the chemical
turned out but of course was not
n ( ded.
The final call came later in the eve
ming when ladders We're called for to
accommodate two girls who roomed on
the third story of Water street
building and who had misplaced
their keys. and could only enter their
apartment through an outside win
cow. 1t would be safe to say that the
variety of calls answered from Fri
day morning to Saturday night by
the local department would rival
