Waterville Out
To Secure Funds
For New Band Stand

That Waterville Is soon to have
a long needed band stand on Monu-
ment park now seems quite sure as
q campaign is to be carried on in
the near future to raise about $1,000
which will be needed in it's construc-
ton. The Waterville Chamber Of
Commerce is taking active steps in
the project and all the musicians of
the city and it's vicinity under the
direction of the Waterville Orches-
ira Society are to do all in their
power to help. The drive is to be
"a general community effort and ev-
eryone will be expected to give what
ever services may be required as the
results will be for the benefit of all.
The orchestra society is to hold
a series of concerts in the Opera
House, Sunday afternoons, the first
No admission Is to be charged but
opportunity will be afforded all to
contribute cash and pledges. /; Mu-
sicians will give their services, per-
mission for all who care to partici-
pate having been procured from
their unions. 1t is thought that
there will be at least 40 pieces in
the orchestra.
Harry Marcoux, the well-known
local baritone, has consented to con-
tribute his services, which are now
worth much because of the demand
upon them. He will be the soloist
at the opening concert. The con-
certs will be real musical treats.
Although band concerts, paid for
by the city government. have been
given on the park for a good many
years, there has never been anything
but a temporary stand for the band.
During the last few years this has
been allowed to remain in place
through the winter months and has
become unsightly. The present band
stand is Furthermore not adaptable
to the musicians and the quality Of
the concerts has been affected.
Plans for raising the needed mon
ey have not been perfected as yet
for the movement has been under
way but a short time. 1t next SUM-
days concert more details of the
plans will be announced and. more
information will be given of just
what it is hoped will be accom-

pected that the conference will be at

progress. The advicory committee,
made up of citizens has begun it's
work and the Legion auxiliary Is to
appoint committee of three to work
in conjunction with the post itself.

to the best means of financing a new

former was student at the Insti-
'tute last year.

ment, the classes in the Old Testa-
ment literature have completed the

that men should do unto you do We
even SO unto them, business should
pay, Owner must establish credit.
The class is now attempting to dis
cover in the methods and motives en-
ployed by Henry Ford, John D..
Rockefeller and other wealthy men

Can Christ's principle of Love your
neighbor as yourself" be safely. fol-
lowed?

minutes not more than half a dozen
seniors were on the floor.
Senator Reed, Democrat, Missouri,
a leading opponent of adhesion. NOV
ed that the senate adjourn. Senator
Walsh, Democrat, Montana, leader
for ratification, countered with the
suggestion Of an absence Of quorum.
The call developed the presence Of a
quorum and Senator Reed withdrew
his motion.
Then came the reading Of the pro-
tocol and as this proceeded, the Mis-
souri, senator again and again insisted
on a quorum being present, stating
that he had no disposition to delay
matters but that he believed senator's
should at least acquaint themselves
with the protocol and statute to
which 1t is proposed the United States
shall adhere.
The clerk began reading the proto-
col at /: 80 P. M but did not finish IN
til 4.30 p. NJ, due to Interruptions for
quorum calls, motions to adjourn and
speeches by senators explaining why
they will vote as they will on the
Swanson resolution.

regular windows. There il a terraced
platform, which will enable the class
to see more clearly what Is being
done at the tables. One large room
on the second floor is to be devoted
to the use of sewing room by the
students of the domestic science
classes. The large room on the girls
side of the basement will be used as
a laboratory for cooking and expert
menting. The manual training de-
partment will consist of two ample
sized rooms, one for hand work, the
other for machines. The gymnasium
will have a regr' ton wood floor,
particularly suitable for basket bali.
There will be separate shower baths
for boys and girls. This IL an i'm
provement which will greatly pro-
mote the participation of athletics by
the students. The two commercial
rooms on the second floor are built
with windows in the intervening
wall. thus one of the rooms may be
used as bank. This will augment
the advantages Of practical business
transactions in the department. Each
room has a bulletin board Of cork.
One of the greatest improvements Is
|, the building of individual cloak
rooms. The building is to be some
what larger than before and this fact
added to the other advantages. makes
the students very impatient to make
the change.

the Opera House Wednesday, Janu-

court, II necessary. Mr.. Groehl seeks
by the proceedings begun here to
have reversed a decision Of Federal
Judge Thomas Of Connecticut deny
ing Chapman's petition for writ Of
habeas corpus that would have re-
moved him from the Jurisdiction Of
that state and returned him to At
lanta to complete his sentence.
Victory on thsee principal points
in the lengthy appeal, Mr.. Groehl
said. If sustained by the supreme
court, would let Chapman go scott
free. The first Of these declares
that Chapman was Illegally trans
ferred from the Atlanta penitenti-
airy to Connecticut. The second de-
clares Judge Thomas erred in de-
Ginning request of the defense for
a change of venue. The defense's
third and principal point contends
that the Communication order of Pres
ident Coolidge in the case Of Chap
man, cutting short his penitentiary
term SO that he can be hanged, is an
outright pardon and irrevocable. that
the President has power only to par
don and not to commute.
The appeal filed contains ia
closely printed pages of testimony
and documentary evidence.
Highly optimistic as to Chapman's
fate, the defense pointed out today
that If the appeal in it's entirety is
upheld by the supreme court, Chap
man will have cheated the gallows
and escaped the long prison sentence
at Atlanta that is the alternative as
the case now stands.
Chapman is under sentence to be
hanged for the murder of a police
man killed during a store robbery in
New Britain, Conn. The robbery
took place while Chapman was a
fugitive from Justice after escaping
from Atlanta.
