recover because she had been drink

the poison she took.
The divorced wife of Harry K.
Thaw, who several years ago had
tried suicide, offered little explana-
ton of her act, except that she did
not want to live and was tired. She
had been filling an engagement as a
cabaret entertainer here and was
scheduled to leave today for Florida
to fill similar engagement.

BoWDO|N WILL USE
MUNSEY FUND FOR
GENERAL PURPOSES

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Brunswick, Me-, Jan. 5.-President
X. c. M. Stills addressing the stu
dents of Bowdoin College at the
opening of the winter term today
spoke in part as follows: "In refer
ring to the requests which have been
made to the college during the
Christmas vacation the college
heard, as you all know. that by the
will of the late Franz A. Munsey
of New York. City 1t had received an
unconditional bequest of $250,OOO
with interest at five percent to be-
gin Immediately. and all taxes to be
paid from the general estate until
the meeting of the governing boards
next June. The use to which this
generous increase to our, funds will
be put cannot be determined but &C
cording to president it will in all
probability be employed for the gen.
eral purposes Of the college and not
for any particular building. This
bequest, with the former gift Of ST.
O,0O0 to establish a chair OF his
tory makes Mr.. Munsey one of the
most generous of all our benefactors
Mr.. Munsey although not gradu-
ate of Bowdoin was q native OF
Maine and received the honorary de-
gree of doctor of letters in 1919. Fol
some years he had manifested a
great interest in the financial prob
lens of the college.
Thus to receive in the same week
the very large and generous bene'
faction from one of the most sue.
cessful sons that Maine ever sent
into the business life of the country
and the remembrance from another
son of the State who had become q
great scientist, is an interesting and
inspiring example of the confidence
and affection in which the college is
held.
The gifts, small and great, are
welcome, not only for their intrinsic
value, but because of the deeper
sense of obligation they should place
on all of us who are connected in
any way with Bowdoin.

FRENCH RUM-RUNNINC
SCHOONER CHERIE

Portland, Me-, Jan. 5-(AP)-For-
fixture of the French rum running
schooner Cherie and her cargo of
more than $500 cases of assorted
liquors was ordered by Judge John
A. Peters in the United States dis
trict court today. A customs penalty
Of $1,000 is assessed by the court
against Captain Henri Ducos of Bor-
deaux, master of the vessel, when she
was seized off Swans Island June 81.
Captain Ducos and the members of
his crew were freed of conspiracy
charges in the United States district
court here, December Is, when Judge
Peters directed verdicts of not guilty.
The fight for the possession Of the
Cherie and her rum will be carried to
the u. S. circuit court of appeals, it
was indicated.
The customs act of 1922, on which
the decision was based, has been in

and prohibition officials hail the
statute as an effective weapon
against further smuggling within the

France in respect to rum running
outside of the three mile limit. The

Providence, r. l., Jan. 5. -(AP)-
The divorce milf investigation
which early last year resulted in the
conviction of a master in chancery
and the revelation that hundreds of
divorces is this state had been grant
ed illegally had a sequel today in the
recommendation to the legislature by
Gov. Aram j. Pothier of a plan for
a court of domestic relations.
NO problem more serious than this
has ever presented itself to the peo-
pie of the state" the Governor told
the assembly in making his address
before the joint session opening the
1926 session.
The plan for a domestic relat ions
court was based upon findings of a
commission headed by former State
Senator Cole appointed by the COVER
nor at the time of the mill expose.
The discovery that divorces were
being granted illegally came with the
news that Nina Wilcox Putnam, the
writer, who had obtained a divorce
from her husband, Robert ]. Sander
son, had never been a resident of
the state, although the statutes call
ed for legal residence of three years.
Subsequent investigation developed
that many other couples had been
similarly separated through means of
testimony taken before masters in
chancery who certified their findings
to the court. Leonard Horton, a
master, and Harry Dougherty, a law
yer, with whom he was alleged to
have conspired, were convicted.
Testimony before the Cole commits
sion showed that many divorces had
been granted on false affidavits in
which commonly both names and adj
dresses were fictitious.
Since then, justices Of the superior
court have adopted the practice OF
calling witnesses into court to give
testimony and scrutiniZing carefully
all documentary evidence offered.
In his message the governor points
out that the domestic relations court
is no longer experimental and says
it has aided greatly in adjusting do
nestle troubles where it is in use.
A feature of the opening day was
the attempt of Representative Fran
els 3. Condor, Democratic leader IN
the house of representatives, TO
question the chief executive on what
Mr.. Condor declared to be the failure
of the Republican party in the state,
to which Governor Pothier belongs,
to redeem certain of the pledges in
it's 1924 platform.
His attempt to interpellate the
governor, the first of its kind in the
history of the state as far as avail
able records show, was cut short on
a point of order.

Find Frozen Body
Unknown at Newton

Newton, Mass, Jan. 5.-(AP)-Met-
ropolitan park police today found the
frozen body of an unidentified man in
the woods of the Hammond Pond res
ervation. A dent in the mans head
led the authorities to believe that he
might have been a victim of violence.
The man was well dressed. but there
was nothing in the pockets of his cloth
ing except comb to give clue to his
identity, and his hat was missing.
Medical Examiner West expressed the
opinion that the man had been dead a
week. The frozen condition of the body
made it impossible for the medical ex-
aminer to determine the cause of death
tonight, but he will perform an au-
topsy, probably tomorrow.
