RumOrs of Booze
Drinking in Death
N. III. Civil War Vet

Nashua, N. H., Dec. 7.-(R)-Belies
that drinking bout led to a quarrel
and killing was expressed here to.
night by officers investigating the
death of Edward A. Cram, well-to- do
civil war veteran. who was found
dad today by neighbor in his home
In South Lyndesborough.
Two men, questioned at police
headquarters here for several hours
by County Solicitor George A. Hazel
ton. were taken tonight to the county
JAN at Manchester, where they will
be held pending an autopsy on
Grams body tomorrow at Milford.
They are F. H. Brigham Of Worces-
ter, Mass, and John Doyle Of Mil
ford. No charges have been lodged
against them.
Officer Warren Nichols of South
Lyndesborough today told the inves-
tigators that he visited Grams home
last night on complaint of several
neighbors that there was row on.
Nichols said he found Brigham and
Doyle at the house and evidence of a
drinking party. He ordered the men
off the premises and saw them leave
in Brigham's car.
Today another neighbor reported
hearing car in the vicinity several
hours later, a fact which might mean
that the men returned later, the in
vestigators said.
The authorities are understood to
have abandoned an earlier theory
that Cram was murdered for large
sums of money he was supposed to
have kept in his house. Although
there were signs Of a struggle in the
dwelling, Grams personal posses
sions, including several hundred dol
lars In cash. was untouched.

May Inspect Votes
In Vote on Zoning
Portland Elections

Portland, Dec. Possibility of an
inspection of ballots cast for and
against the coming ordinance appear
ed this forenoon when several citi-
zens conferred with Harry C. Wilbur,
corporation counsel, to ascertain the
proper method of procedure. Search
of the charter and statutes by him
had failed to find any precedent or
any provision of law whereby such
an inspection may be had Of the vote
cast on a referendum.
Such inspections hitherto have been
between candidates where Seem
ingly defeated candidate would move
in line of finding such errors in the
original count as to overturn the re-
suit as first announced. The coming
ordinance is not a person and Is in
animate, hence incapable of seeking
an inspection.
Mr.. Wilbur was continuing his
search this afternoon and the whole
matter will be held in allegiance I'M
til he finds either something or moth
ing upon which to base such action
as several citizens, opposed to adop-
ton of the ordinance, wish to start
in hope that it may appear that there
was majority against the measure.

murder charge, George Galligan, re-
firing sheriff Of Williamson county,
today was on a belated honeymoon,
while Oren Coleman. new sheriff.
passed through his second day in the
Office to which he was elected on q
law enforcement program.
Galligan, who retired after four
troubled years as chief peace officer
of county marked by khan and anti
khan and gang strife, was arrested by
after he had turned over the affairs
Of the Office. The arrest was made
on a warrant obtained by Mrs.
Charles Woodward whose husband

uprising at Herrin on Aug. 80, 1924.
Pending action of the grand jury

$4,000. He left soon afterward on a
wedding trip with Mrs. Galligan,
formerly Mrs. Estelle Bradley Cash,
housekeeper at the Williamson coun-
ty Jail, for two years, whom Galligan
revealed he married in Chicago near
ly year ago.

avowed anti-klansman, was deplored
by the khan element. which declared
that an agreement to do away with
further prosecutions had been reach
ed in the furtherance of peace be-
tween the two factions.

university graduate and former
school teacher, would be given ade-
quate assistance In curbing further
outbreaks in the southern Illinois
battlefront, was expressed by CALI
gan who declared that he felt he
owed no apology to the people OF
Williamson county for the numerous
killings that had occurred during his
regime. He asserted that such strife
was allowed to exist because he had
not had sufficient cooperation from
the citizens Of the county.

Steamer Emperor
Aground Off Halifax

Halifax, N. s., Dec. 7-P)-The
freight steamer Emperor of st. John
was aground with all her crew
aboard, 100 feet offshore, near Cape
George tonight No fears were felt
for the safety of the crew despite
the continued gale as 1t is expected
that when the seas calm down the
men will put off in the ships boat.
The steamer went aground this
morning when her anchors failed to
hold after the vessel had stopped on
McPhee's Beach to ride out the gale.
The steamer was enroute from Mon
treal to Antagonist to load pulpwood.
Additional shipping losses were re-
ported today. The schooner Fishbort
was wrecked on Cape Traverse, P. E.
l., but the crew were saved. The Ed
ward F. Ault, Prince Edward Is
land schooner, with cargo of coal,
dragged her anchors in Pictou Har-
Dor and disappeared in the storm.
She has not since been reported, but
it is believed she was ,beached at a
remote spot.

ovan told group of fellow toilers
that he would make his million by
the time he was 45 years old and
quit. 1t was in fulfilment of this 80
year-old promise that Mr.. Donovan
retired as head of the Donovan Mo-
torcar Company on January l, last,
several months before his 46th birth
day.
He was born in Rochester, N. r.,
on May 8, 1880, and at the age of IL
found employment in carpet fac
tory at S1.50 week. He shifted to
a job in a drug store that netted him
$1.75 week but within few years
turned to the trade of railroad ma
chinist.
While working in the grease and
CRIME of the railroad shops he saw
one day an aged millionaire feebly
making his way to an Office where
he hoped to gather further fortunes.
One million was enough for any
man, he told his companions. He de-
termined never to be seen lettering
after greater wealth after he had
made his million.
The other workers laughed as he
made his vow to retire at 45 with a
million. They told him that with
his wages of 10 cents an hour he
would never have to worry over his
wealth or about when he would re-
tire.
He became good machinist,
fought in the Spanish-American war
and then, with the advent Of the au-
tomobile, became motor mechanic.
He worked on the first car of a now
well known make and afterward
came to Boston to try his hand at
selling the same line Of automobiles.
That was in 1906. When the au-
tomobile became more popular he
organized his own company.
At the banquet at which he an
nounced his retirement last January,
Governor Alvan #. Fuller, who had
rounded out a somewhat similar ca
reer, epitomized his reason for sue
cess by saying: HE made his sue
cess in life without sacrificing any
friends along the way"
Mr.. Donovan looked forward to
golf in Florida, summers of play IN
New England with hunting expedi-
items and travel thrown in
There comes a time in the life
Of every successful business man."
he said, when he reaches the cor
ner of Easy street. There Is the
temptation to turn off Main street
with all its allurements. But few
men have studied conditions Tar
enough ahead to make the decision.
'.One may turn off at the corner
and after a time if he does not like
travelling on the new street he may
come back to the main travelled
highway. On the other hand the
great majority pass by the corner
and then they find they are carried
along by the congested traffic and
are never able to turn around or get
to Easy street by another route"

opponent. Walsh said he was prompt
ed by the high motive of UNFOLDING
the integrity of the senate
Senator Hale. Republican, Of Maine,
came to the defense of his colleague
who, he declared, had been complete
ly vindicated by the people OF Maine
after a thorough airing of the charg-
es during the recent political cam
paign. This vindication. he added,
was shown conclusively by the more
than two to one victory of Mr.. Gould
at the polls.
The roll call found only seven SEN
ators opposing passage of the reso-
luton, one Democrat, Blease, South
Carolina. and six Republicans, Bing-
ham, Connecticut. Moses, New
Hampshire, Phipps, Coloado, Reed.
Pennsylvania, Schall, Minnesota, and
Wadsworth of New York.
Shortly after its passage Chairman
Ernst issled call for a meeting to-
morrow of the senate elections COM
mittee to delve into the charges.
The senate was working itself up
rapidly into a snarl when Senator
Gould took the floor. Nervous and
visibly embarrassed over the necessity
of having to make his maiden SEN
ate speech on such a subject, he de-
clared:
Il have no objection to this reso-
luton. There is nothing in the sub
ject matter that could embarass me.
The question has just been thorough
ly discussed in our state election and
l feel / was perfectly INDICATED by
the voters of Maine. I shall be pleas
ed to have the senate investigate
further as l feel I will be thoroughly
vir1icated."
During the discussion, Senator
Reed, Republican, of Pennsylvania,
took an active part in the defense of
Senator Gould. He contended the
Maine senator was entitled to his
seat by right of election and the SEN
ate did. not have the power to veto
choice of an electorate for an alleg
ed offense committed before he was
elected. Senator Reeds argument
was construed as laying the defense
groundwork for the contest that Is
expected against Senator elect Ware.
Republican, Pennsylvania, because Of
large expenditures in his primary
campaign.
While the argument was on full
tilt, Senator Borah, Republican, of
Idaho, interposed the statement that
he would vote for adoption Of the
resolution as the election results in
Maine had no bearing on the ques-
ton before the senate which, he said,
has power to investigate any member
for any offense committed at any
time.

New England states and parts Of
Pennsylvania had the coolest weather
for early December in several years,
Oriole, in tire Nipponese Valley, Pa,

time of season in many years, with
below zero temperatures being re-
corded from Massachusetts through
