STATE HOUSE
Dr. Augusta O. Thomas. State su
perintendent of public schools, in a
letter sent out Friday to all super
intendents of schools says that the
striking of the word "male” from the
j election laws of the land by federal
amendment brings new duties to a
new .group of citizens.
"To exercise the right of the bal
lots the world's greatest democra
tizing agency—for the first time is an
event of no small significance
j whether it be by a young man who
| has just readied his majority or by
j a woman whose rights to such a
j privilege are long overdue.” says Dr.
i Thomas in the cofnmunication.
j "This new privilege and responsi
i billty should not be lightly regarded
| norf passed by. Especially should
j the teacher, who stands for the higli
! cst intelligence in citizenship, be giv
en every opportunity to exercise this
added duty recently come to her. A
; large number of our teachers are not
' teaching in the towns in which they
i hold legal residence and unless spe
1 cial provision is made for them to
register and to cast their ballots on
election day they will meet disfran
chisement on the first event.
"From careful estimate at least
3.000 teachers will be unable to reg
ister and vote unless superintendents
and school committees determine the
needs of their teachers and make
such arrangements as will best con
serve their rights. In the cities of
! the State it w ill be necessary to reg
j ister before Sept. 13. the date of the
election, but in the smaller towns
registration may be done on election
day at the time of voting.
"May I suggest that where schools
are in session, school committees
make it convenient for their teach
ers to vote and" where schools are
scheduled to oppn on the date of the
election that the opening be'deferred
| until Sept. 14th. if by opening earli
i er teachers will be forced to consid
: erable expense or lose this new priv
ilege.”
Help Difficult to Obtain
Capt. James F. Bagiev of Augusta,
the secretary of the State Board of
Charities and Corrections, said Friday
that the troubles of the charitable and
eleemosynary institutions are not all
over because the war has ended.
The situation reported by Dr.
' Charles D. Smith, superintendent of
the Maine General Hospital at Port
land, in his annual report filed with
the board, is so typical of the cor.di
i tions met by many of the hospitals
that it is quoted for the information
of the general public: ’
! "Labor conditions are and have been
worse than last year. Domestic help
j is difficult to obtain and inefficient
whan available.
"We are below our efficient number
; of nurses by nine, and of belp by at
least the same number One ward was
closed in the spring because of this
shortage as were two private rooms,
eliminating 25 beds.
"The necessity of putting laundry
work into a public laundry and pay
ing diminished help for extra work
have greatly added to the burden of
expense. Coal, labor and medical and
surgical supplies are oppressively
' high in cost.”
Decision in Peculiar Aceident
A decision was rendered Friday by
| the Public Utilities Commission in
the matter of the accident near Hou!
. ton August last which resulted in
! the death of Isaac Chase.
The decision of the Public Utilities
Commission covering the matter 1^ as
follows:
"A section of rotate highway is be
ing built along the Houlton ar.d
Presque Isle road, extending northerly
j from a point about two miles north of
Houlton village. Isaac Chase was
foreman of the blasting crew, niv on
August 10, 1920. he had placed a
. charge of dynamite in the ledge on the
easterly side of the highway, at a
point about 50 rods northerly from the
Houlton town farm. The 33.000 volt
high tension w.res of the Gould Elec
tric Company extended along the east
erly side of this highway at this
point, and directly above the ledge
that was being blasted. The bat
tery box from which the lead wires
! extended for the purpose of ex
! ploding the charge was placed
about 95 feet from the ledge, and the
! lead wires passed directly under the
j high tension wires. Mr Chase, after
, warning his men, went to the battery
box. connected one wire to the pest
with the thumb screw, held the other
wire on to the other post with his left
hand and worked the battery plunger
1 with his right hand. Neither the
ledge in which the charge of dynamite
; was placed, the lead wires or the bat
tery box were covered or protected in
any way.
"The force of the explosion blew the
lead wires up against the high tension
wires, and the current passed along
these wires and grounded through Mr.
Chase's body, burning off the fingers
and thumb of his left hand and killing
him instantly.
I "Mr. Chase was negligent in placing
the battery wires under th- high ten
i sion wires and leaving them unnro
' tected, and his death was the resu’t of
his own negligence and hi- failure to
properly safeguard his work "
Increase in Bangor Trolley Fares
A derision was rendered by the
, Public Utilities commission Friday
authorizing the Bangor Railwa> and
Electric Company to file and put into
effect upon one day's notice to the
public and to the commission, a new
schedule of fares with a base rate of
- fare of seven cents in place of the
present six cent fare, and with a
four cent fare in place of the pres
■ ent three-cent fare in connection
with the called split zone at the
: University of Maine. The companj
! asked for an increase in a single
fare from six to eight cents.

The following violations have been
reported to the Department of In
land Fisheries and Game :

The Only Houdini
Today at Colonial
In “Terror Island”
It would appear from the outside
that the 'movies" and the agility of
Houdini had fixed up a film that
would surprise you just a little bit.
Houdini is with you in "Terror
Island.” a name in itself that car
ries mystery and then more mystery.
It starts off with a zip and is car
ried on with enthusiasm. When a
young lady is crowded into a safe,
thrown from a precipice into the
ocean and then is rescued by her i
lover, who immersed in a tank at
the same risk of his own life, the
story, without a plot, becomes some
what exciting—that is why nothing
more need to be told of the story
than to say that Houdini is the film
story teller. The combination of al
most unbelievable situations from
which Houdini extricates himself, is
worth more than your admission,
plus the war tax. And. oil. for that
Lyons & Moran Comedy. “Downing
and Uprising" and that two-reel
Western feature to come. Oh. my!
Then, wait for that No. ? of the
Serial, "Elmo the Fearless."— Adv.

into a thriller, with a snappy start,
original filling and a humdinger of
an ending. It takes you to the some
what rapid-moving city of l'aris
which is also alleged to be a trifle
off on Sunday school matter, and
there the hero works out his own
salvation in about 15 minutes in a
way that satisfies you. Charles and

AUGUSTA. MAINE
BELFAST
The Women's Republican organiza- ,
tion of Belfast is Jubilant over its |
first victory tor of the S72 reglstra- ]
tions 443 declared themselves mem- |
hers of the G. O. P. against 136 who
dertared as Democrats. It is believed. J
however, that many of the so-called j
independents or "no preference" reg- |
istrations are of Democratic pusua
sion There were 293 of these It is
due largely to the systematized work
and early organization of the Repub- J
lican women that such results have <
been obtained and the earnest, en- \
thusiasttc workers feel well pleased.
Many more will register in both par- j
ties before the National election tn
November, for main believed that the
board would he in session on Thurs- I
day night ns it has been during the
eight days. and were unnhle to regis- 1
ter. The hoard closed ft! 5 o’clock '
and quite a number who wished to
register were unable to do so.
The Democratic women held a pre
liminary meeting on Thursday night
called to order by Mrs. hid gar F. Han
son. Mrs. Sarah Knight was chosen
chairman nnd Mrs. George I.uce. sec- ;
re far > No permanent organization |
was perfected hut another meeting
was called for Friday night when this'
w ill be done. The Democratic women i
have been Isle tn organization but!
plan to make up for lost time. A Re- ]
publican rally is scheduled for Satur- j
day night in the armory when the '
speakers will be Mrs. Frank Hall of,
Worcester. Masfi. Thomas S Crago of j
Philadelphia and Frank W. Hinckley.!
mayor of South Portland.
Just to give an idea of how the Re- i
pubjtcan women work, the meeting of
Thursday afternoon is an example.
Karly in the afternoon the chairman
learned that q number of women who
were undecided as to their preference !
but who had leanings towards the Re
publican party, wished to hear Miss
Edwards, the national organizer, who
has been working in the county. Miss
Edwards was located about 4 P. M..
in \\ aldo. where she had addressed a
meeting in the Grange hall. She was
asked to come to Belfast as soon as
she was through in that town and ar
riving here at 5 P. M. found some 75
or SO women present. She spoke for
about an hour on State and National
issues, instructed the women as to
the ballot and answered many ques- !
tions put to her. The meeting was
most enteresting and helpful. Miss
Edwards is much pleased with the
women of Belfast and Waldo county i
and of the way in which they have
taken hold of the matter. They were
among the first to organize and have
worked steadfastly from the start. 1
Mrs. Essie P. t’arle. county chairman ,
and Mrs. Grace Chadwick Pilsbury. I
city chairman, have been excellent
leaders.

on Bridge street this morning at the
age of 64 years. She was the widow
of 1-rank Overlook whose tragic death
