The reports of the various om-
lord and committees, including that
fit the Women’s organization which
bu been active, were read and
‘ adopted. In the discussion of a
‘new‘ectory. it was brought out that
the present one was built at an un-
known date. but the age». was said
* ,to be anywhere between 50 and 100
years ,of age. Incidentally. it was
p-srected by the hue Dr. Delafield,
.u'licle oi! the present. vestrylnnn.
‘Wlth the authorization of the parish
to go ahead with the work. it was
decided to build a new rectory. and
probably demolish the old one. The
records showed that in 1913 the dis-
cussion of such a. more had held at-
tention. but that nothing was then
gdone.
‘ The present building is entirely
free of mortgage. and it is intended
thttz'the new one shall be built in
the same manner—that is. with cv-
orything paid for'upon its comple-
tion. -
' The vestry, following the annual
meeting, immediately called a spe-
, lal meeting with William M. Weed
‘presiding, and within five minutes
i. ‘ysised $10,000 for the work. This
[- ‘magnificent start bodes well for the
project. It is possible that Mr. Bur-
iey. who is an architect, will draw
unplans for the building;

Practically everyone in Daricn will
be at the special town meeting to-
-night. in the Boyle school. to hear
‘gthe ”discussion of five measures for
“the town.
,There are five items on the call,
hues of which will not bring much
discussion. These three are: The
atlflcation of the Water and Sew-
ege Commission, made up of Will-
iam E. Ashley (three years). Thom-
as Crimmins (two years) and Ernest
‘Lounsbery (one year); an appro-
priation for the town plan commis—
ion .(how the Zoning Commission).
'and an appropriation of $1,055 for
*rppairs to the Baker and Doyle
schools. ' ‘
4 Probable fireworks will develop on

“en made that the town talk over
he Wee Burn grounds, either in part
or in whole, as a civic center pr park.
“petition, signed by Dr. William H.
laughter and 20 others. asks that
committee be appointed to. inves-
tigate the matter. In a statement to
The Evening Sentinel, David Challi—
di'orfofthe \Vee Burn Holding Com-
pany. stated that offers had been
made for the land by parties. and
that the price asked was $120,000.

hard it is doubtful whether the pur-
however. as this would not commit
the town to any definite action.
The other doubtful issue is the re.
port of tho Pear Tree Point commit-
tee. This committee has worked
long on the matter of making Pear
Tree Point a beauty spot. It rccom.
mends the. cilpcnriiturn of $30,000.

mediately for filling in the lagoon.
how used as a public dump. An
equal sum would be spent on the
erection of it modern building with
300 both houses to take the place
of the present decrepit structure.
This would ho orcrtcd only after suf-
itflcient time lids elapsed to allow the
fill to settle.
-A rock in the water would he
blasted and the property fenced on
the cast border.
The sum asked is considered by
many residents to be a. small one.
The Point. is Dnricu's only piece of
public beach and gives enjoyment to
thousands.
It is also believed the project will
he supported by many large taxpay-
ers who hold property in the vicin-
ity and have had a public dump as
an eyesore near their homes for
many years. On the whole, senti-
ment seems to indicate that this
matter will pass at the meeting to-
night.
The committee in charge of this
work, which has been active for the
past two years. follows:
Charles P. Rumpf, chairman:

AUGUSTA. Me. June 4 (AP).—
i-Iarry Kirby confessed through the
bars of his cell in the Kennehec
county Jail here yesterday to County
Attorney Frank A. Southard. that he
killed Miss Aida Hayward. shot her
aunt. Mrs. Emma M. Towns. and
then set fire to their cottogo at Lake
Marauacook. Winthrop. on the night
of May 19. in an effort to hide his
crimes. '
. Kirby said he was drunk when he
entered Miss Hayward's cottage and
shot down Mrs. Towns. He admitted
that his story of finding Miss Hay-
ward’s body in the Woods and carry.
ing it to the cottage be occupied was
a lie. Instead, he said. he carried her
to his house. after shooting her
aunt. and left her there bound and
gagged, while he returned to set the
cottage stirs. ‘
He said he was still drunk the
next day when he murdorc: Miss
Hayward in his cottage by choking
her to death “because she scream-
cd." Meanwhile. he admitted. he
went back to the blazing cottage
with the rest of the townspeople and
joined for a while in the hunt for
the missing Hayward girl.
First intimation that Kirby was
ready to confess came when he ask-
ed that County Attorney Southard
be sent for. The prosecutor reached
the jail within half an hour and the
prisoner greeted him with the
words:
"I'm guilty of all the crimes you
charged me with." . '
Kirby followed his confession with
a. threat to kill himself and extra
precautions will be taken to guard
him. '
