George Sargent, president of the
professional Golfers association, who
is the home pro at the course, holds
the record with 68. This mark as
well as Rogers score, were made
before Scioto was changed for the
open. The course now is generally
considered three or four strokes hard
er.
Perhaps the guess of Cyril Walker,
1924 open title holder who has played
the course many times may be taken
as a fair prediction of what it will
take to win this year. His Judgment
is that 295 will win the champion
ship. Last year Jones and Macfarlane
tied for the lead with 291 at Wor-
cester Mass.

nearly an hour today in conference
with two of his attorneys after pris-
on authorities had refused the at
torneys permission to have Chapman
observed for identification by a
mystery" witness.
The witness, tall. elderly man
with a Kentucky colonel goatee and
moustache, was not permitted by the
attorneys to be interviewed by news
papermen. Frederick j. Groehl, chief
defense counsel. said only that he
was a native of Connecticut and had
lived in this locality for 80 or 40
years.
Speaking of the testimony the aged
man would give, Mr.. Groehl said Its
very substantial proof of a certain
kind which l think If I had had at
Chapman's trial would have changed

Chapman's attorneys were unde-
cided today as to their further legal
course. Mr.. Groehl said he did not
think any legal action would be taken
tomorrow.

A curious situation, having no pre-
cedent in this state and not covered
by the statutes, may possibly arise
as a result of the removal proceed
ings now being conducted against
Sheriff Henry F. Cummings and may
cause the postponement of the April
term of the Kennebec county super
ior court, which is to begin on Tues
day, April 6, with Judge William H.
Fisher, presiding.
In the event that the governor and
council should vote to remove the
sheriff from office, this woeld auto
matically terminate the appointments
of the deputies serving under him
and until another sheriff could be APP
pointed by the governor, the county
would be without duly constituted
officers. 1t would require at least a
week for the ap. ointment of a new
sheriff as by law nominations by the
governor must be posted for period
of one week before the appointment
is confirmed.
Inasmuch as 1t Is necessary to
have deputy sheriffs to take charge
of the jury, and no power is given
to the court to appoint such officers,
in the event Sheriff Cummings
should be removed the court would
be unable to function until a new
sheriff should take Office.

GRANT new trial
TO CONVICTED man
ON TECHNICAL!TY

Boston. March 30.-(AP)-Celestin
Madeiros, found guilty of first degree
murder after an attempted bank rob-
berry in Wrentham November /, 1924,
won a victory in his fight for a new
trial today when the supreme court
sustained an exception taken by his
counsel. The sole ground upon which
the exception was based was the fail
ure Of Judge Henry T. Lusk to in
struct the jury at the outset of the
trial that the defendant was presumed
to be innocent.
Chief Justice Rugg, who wrote the
opinion, set forth that 'it is the es-
tablished practice to give such in
struction, which has the great weight
of the authority of Chief Justice
Shaw. That practice has been re-
confirmed in explicit language in three
decisions where the point was eX-
pressly adjudicated. 1t is fmbedded in
our law. The presumption is not evil
dence. It does not run with the de-
PENDANT through the trial and con-
tinue with him through all it's stages"
It was said to be the "only error dis
closed in the record"
Madeiros was alleged to have fired
the shots that killed James A. Carpen-
ter, aged cashier of the Wrentham
National Bank, during an attempted
robbery. He was indicted with Al
fred w. Bedard, James F. Weeks and
Harry Goldberg. Bedard and Weeks
pleaded guilty to second degree muir
der charges. They are now serving lie
terms in state prison at Charlestown.

DOG TEAM SCALES
MOUNT WASHINGTON
FIRST IN HISTORY /.

Pinkham Notch. N. H.. March 80
(AP)-Mount Washington was scaled
by dog sled for the first time in his
tory today when Arthur T. Walden,
veteran musher, of Wonalancet, drove
ais six giant cross-bred huskies to the
summit and back in little more than
Is hours.
Starting from the Glen House at 6
o'clock this morning after a 70-mile
gale thwarted his first attempt yes
terday, Walden fought his way up the
eight-mile carriage road to the sum-
NIT in approximately eight hours.
The start was made under ideal con-
ditions with almost springlike weather
in the glen, but the wind rose later in
the day, reaching gale force at the
timber line.
The high wind made exceedingly
treacherous going after the half way
house had been passed. Long stretch
es of solid ice and heavily crusted
snow were encountered and more than
once the men were forced to don ice
creepers and help the dogs.
The party rested on the summit
about an hour before starting the re-
turn trip. The men reached the Glen
House soon after 9 o'clock tonight,
tired but in good condition, and imme-
diately sought bed. The dogs with
stood the climb excellently, Walden
reported, and all were in harness at
the finish. .

NATION GETS KICK"
OUT OF SANCTION
OF MEDICINAL beer
Officials Give Assurance New
N"Health Booster" Will Be
Procurable Even In Bone
Dry States = Anti-Saloon
League Says Is A Mistake

Washington, Mar. 80. - (AP) -
While the nation seemed to get a
kick today out Of the approval CIV
en- by the government to the sale
of 3.75 medicinal beer, about the
only reaction the announcement
stirred up here was a protest from
the Anti-Saloon League that the is
suance of permits for the manu-
facture of such strong malt ton1cs
was a mistake" and would lead to
diversions for beverage use.
Nothing was said in congress
about the new order. In fact. for
a change, prohibition was complete
ly out of the picture, except for IN
PRODUCTION in the house by Mrs. Mary
T. Norton. Democratic representa-
tive from New Jersey, the resolution
previously offered in the senate by
Senator Edwards of New Jersey,
proposing sweeping investigation
of prohibition and its enforcement.
Officials in charge of enforcement
declined, in the absence from the
city of Assistant Secretary Andrews
of the treasury, to say much about
the new regulation, except to give

booster" would be available without
prescriptions at drug stores even in
bone dry states.
In condemning the medicinal.
beer six officials Of the anti-saloon
league, among them F. Scott Nc
Bride, general superintendent. and
Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel,
Joined in formal statement which
said: 1.-THE issuance of permits for
the making of malt tonic of 3.75 per-
cent alcoholic content is mistake
and will lead to multiplied evasions
of the law and diversions to bever-
age use. No new evidence has been
presented to indicate that this malt
tonic will not be used as a subter-
fuge for evading the law.
ut is not a question as to whether
the government technically can is
sue permit for the making of this
malt beverage, but whether 1t should
insist upon its policy of permitting
a so-called malt health liquor which
is suited to beverage use or which
can be added to near beer.
1.-The best way to enforce the pro-
hibition law is not to loosen it's pro-
visions but to tighten them and car
ry out the expressed purpose of the
act, namely, that 1t shall be con-
strued and enforced so as to pre-
vent the use of beverage intoxi-
cants."
