Charges Women
Smokers are Careless
In Putting Out ''Stubs'

Concord n. H., Oct. 6-(P1-Smok-
ing by women is not the harmless
gesture" some think but is the cause
of much serious damage by fire, NJ.
L. Bartlett, state fish and game com
missioner, said today. He declared
that many people would change their
minds about the result of the prac-
tice if they knew the losses OCCASION
ed by throwing of lighted cigarettes
out of automobiles and railroad car
windows. While the young man of
college age has always been prob
lem, he said. the girl smoker is a
new figure on the scene.
John II. Foster. state forester,
agreed with Bartlett and asserted
that a large proportion of brush and
grass fires along highways and rail-
road tracks are started by careless
smokers who throw cigarettes away
without shutting out the light end.
The authorities have inaugurated a
campaign to put stop to this negli-
gence and all railroad cars will be
posted with notices informing pas
sengers of the danger of forest fires
resulting from the carelessness of
smokers

Organize Baxter
Club at Presque Isle
In Senator Campaign

Presque Isle, Oct. "a Baxter club
to further the candidacy of former
governor Percival p. Baxter in the
Republican primary race for nominal
ton of a candidate for L. S. Senator,
has been organized here. At a re-
cent meeting the following resolu-
tons were adopted:
October 4, 1926.
To the Voters of Maine:
All good citizens believe that the
Constitution and the laws of the
country, State and National. should
be obeyed. We believe that the IL
quor question is the most important
one before our voters today. Without
doubt. our Constitution and laws re-
lating to liquor are being openly ana
secretly violated by many people.
A United States senator is soon TO
he nominated and elected from Maine.
When our senator appears before the
Vice president of the United states
and the Senate to solemnly swear 10
support and defend the Constitution
and the laws of our government, we
believe he ought to be man whose
heart is in the cause and VINO has
been for years a total abstainer from
alcoholic liquors, and who is now d
total abstainer.
We believe that the senators of the
United States should be men who
have never been violators of the law
and Constitution of Maine and of the
United States and who have never
caused others to violate said laws
We appeal to the moral sense OF the
voters throughout the State ana urge
them to find out how each OF the
candidates for United States Senator
stands on the liquor question: we
urge the voters to vote squareiy on
this question. We know that EX~
Governor Baxter has taken nrm
and fearless stand against hquor ana
that he WILL if elected, ably repre-
sent us at Washington and greatly
ssist the temperance cause.

Thomaston. Me, Oct. 6-(P)-
Search for the four convicts who es-
capped from State Prison last night
after beating Patrick Sanfey, the
solitary guard, into a state of insen-
sibility. had been futile this forenoon

Egan.
The ten guards who threw a cor
don about the woods in Warren last
night, resumed their duties inside the
prison walls this morning and pur-
suit was left largely to five State
Highway Policemen and. the forces
of the Knox county sheriff's depart
ment and the Rockland police.
All the principal avenues were be-
ing closely watched, and circulars
and descriptions of the prisoners will
be sent throughout the State. Notices
have been posted offering the Gus
tomary reward of $50 for the recov-
cry of fugitive convicts.
A shortage of prison officials left
but one man on duty in the guard
room last night. Warden F. Maurice
Fish was said to have asked for adj
ditional guards some time ago but
they had not been supplied.
