Of Congress at the age Of 90. The
story of his logged start Is told by

Then he divulged that he had a IT,

his father because he couldn't have
enough money. had left home. Mr..
Montgomery went back with me to
Dewey, where we found that young
Sam had been sleeping in the back
of an automobile, and had been nearly
starving himself for a week because
he was afraid he would lose his Job
If he asked for an advance on his pay.
Young Montgomery continued

got along fine with him. II he could
do that at l6, he will not have any

court to answer to two charges
brought against him as the result of
an accident Sunday on the Ticonic

fuence of liquor and driving without

+. Harold Dubord appeared as
counsel for the defendant, entering
a plea of not guilty on both counts.
Judge Atchley found Mr.. Ferland
guilty in both cases, imposing a SEN
tence of SIS and costs or 80 days in
jail for driving without license, and

Trial Fall-DOheny

the leasing of the Elk Hills, CAL, naval
oil reserves to Doheny's Pan-American
Petroleum & Transport Company while
Fall was secretary of the interior.
In their opening statements govern
ment counsel dwe1t at length upon
100000 cash transaction between Do
heny to Fall during the period Of the
alleged conspiracy, January !, 1921,
and December II, 1922.
Doheny appeared before the Senate
committee January "a, 1924, and freely
told of having arranged to transfer
100000 to Fall in 1921. The govern
ment wishes to incorporate this test1-
mony into the trial record but the de-
tense objects on the ground that such
procedure would constitute compulsory
testimony Of the defendant against
himself in criminal trial, on action
specifically prohibited by the fifth
amendment Of the constitution.
The government presses for the adj
mission because it has not the right,
under the rules of evidence, to sum-
mon the defendants to the stand in the
present trial.
Initial plans of the prosecutors con-
templated placing the 100000 tram
saction before the jury through a
reading Of the Senate testimony. This
has been temporarily blocked, and il
they have other possible avenues of
presenting this phase of the case they
have not been revealed.

Monday Is the night at the Silver

court of the District Of Columbia will
rule on the point Monday.
Owen J. Roberts, arguing for the
government today, built his case for
the admissibility Of the Doheny evil
dence on these points:
That Doheny appeared before the
Senate committee second time vol
unfairly ito tell the whole world about
his transaction with FALL" and tina,
such action could in no sense be con-
strued as testimony adduced by com
pulsion against the interest of the de-
PENDANT; that Doheny further waived
constitutional exemption when he
neglected to claim the privilege in his
testimony before the Senate investi-
gators; that constitutional exemption
from self-damaging testimony extends
only to testimony obtained by conpuY-
sion; that Doheny's action in request
ing the right to appear before the com
mittee the second time, after having
appeared once in response to sum-
mons, removed all suggestion of COM
pulsion and branded the testimony re-
garding the 100000 transaction as
/, wholly voluntary.

Legion Play Even
Greater Success Tran
On Armistice Night

Leave it to Jane" produced last
night at the City Opera House by the
George N. Bourque Post, American
Legion, proved to be an even greater
success than the initial performance
of Armistice Night. The theatre was
well filled with an audience that was
not at all loathe to demonstrate q
spontaneous and hearty appreciation
of the clever musical comedy and the
equally clever performers. That it
compares favorably with profession
al productions was the unanimous
opinion OF those who were fortunate
enough to hold seats last evening.
No one In the entire cast but inter-
preted his or her part in a creditable
manner, indicating in no uncertain
terms that it is hardly necessary to
draw from far off Broadway for his
trionie talent.
The local post should be ccngrat-
ulated for the triumph Northumberland
1t is indeed triumph-by hard work
and persistent endeavor that has re-
suited in such a splendid uccess
And Waterville should be likewise
congratulated to have within ITS
midst an organization capable of
treating it to something as fine as
Leave it to Jane" has proved to be.
Suffice it to say that whenever the
local Legion, marches again toward
the footlights. the city will again fall
in line behind. animated with the
positive assurance that something
good is coming.

After the luncheon a very pleasant

altogether they attained a circulation
of perhaps hundred thousand copies.
How far his friends went in other
directions is not so apparent except
from his statement to me that it ran
into amounts that amazed him.
Daniel F. Field, chairman of the Re-
publican State committee, stated in
my office last week in the presence of
Blaine S. Viles that anyone who was
not a political fool knew that large
sums of money in excess of the legal
limit had been spent. He estimated it
at $4,000. and thought it would not be
difficult to find evidence of some of
this. Whether this was with the
knowledge and consent of the candi-
dates he did not want to know.
In discussing the possibility that
charges might be preferred Mr.. Field
expressed the hope that any COM
plants would be deferred until after
election when any evidence of viola
tion of the law would constitute cause
for deprival of the seat by the Sem
ate. Then he added there could be an
other election. This seemed to Mr..
Viles and myself to be offering pos
sibility of most serious reflection
upon the people of Maine.
Section 10 of Chapter 6 of the Re-
vised Statutes provides that mo per-
son--shall directly or indirectly or by
any device whatsoever pay any sum,
or incur any liability, to procure or
aid in the procurements of the nomi-
nation of any candidate-at any pri-
mary election without the knowledge
and consent of such candidates" and
it goes on to add whoever violates the
provisions of this section forfeits five
hundred dollars to be recovered by in
dictment."
Every one of these advertisements
constitutes a brazen breaking of the
law. Everyone who defends such con-
duct defends the commission of crime.
The issue is amazingly simple.
1t seems to be generally agreed that
Mr.. Baxter and Mr.. Buzzell and Mr..
Jack and their friends observed the
law and were beaten.
1t seems also to be generally agreed
that the nominee or his friends vio-
lated the law and he was successful.
In all the welter of personal abuse
the counsel for the nominee has neg
lected to deny that the law was DELHI
erately and repeatedly violated by the
friends of the successful nominee. Nor
has anyone denied it. Every newspa-
per in the State shows that it cannot
be denied.
The moral to be drawn would seem

Complete Plans for
Boys Club Drive
Hope to Raise $4,000

Plans for the Boys Club drive
which is to be held next Monday and
Tuesday are completed. 1t is hoped
to raise $4,000. This amount will
maintain the club for the coming year
and allow the directors to pay a sub
stantial amount toward the reduction
Of the mortgage which is on the pro-
perty.
This drive is to be conducted by
the members of the three service
clubs. namely, Rotary, Kiwanis and
Lions. Each member of the three
clubs is to call upon at least two
other people who are not members Of
the clubs. In this way it is hoped
to cover the entire city.
The drive is in the form of a mem
bership drive. Those giving under
five dollars are to be considered ac-
tive members, while those giving five
dollars or more are to be listed as
sustaining members. J. Frank Good
rich, superintendent of the club. says
that while it is hoped that every one
will be interviewed during the drive,
it is certain that some will be missed
and he wishes it known that anyone
caring to help, If not called on, may
send his check to the Boys club. 1t
will be greatly appreciated and duly
acknowledged.
That the Waterville Boys Club has
found a place in the hearts of the
citizens of Waterville and vicinity, as
well as in the hearts of the boys
themselves, is firmly believed by the
club workers. Figures show that the
club has only been in operation two
years the 18th day of next month and
that 50,608 passed through the club
during the past year compared to
4O,555 the year before; that the at
tendance in the gymnasium increas-
ed by 5000; and that 978 more show
