APRIL Term SUPREME
COURT At BANGOR
CLOSES THURSDAY

Bangor, Me-, May 6.-The April term
Of the supreme judicial court, over
which Associate Justice Leslie c. Cor
nish Of Augusta has presided, reached
its final adjournment Thursday noon'
having been in session for the past
four weeks. Much business has been
transacted during the term. but not
withstanding the fact that the cases
have been carried on with all possible
dispatch, not a few, which were IN
order for trial. were left over and will
come up at the October term, which
is the next civil session to be held in
this county.
Associate Justice Cornish has issued
a temporary injunction or restraining
order prohibiting Solomon L.. Cohen
or Rosie Cohen, the owners and ten
ants Of house on South street, from
using the property for the illegal sale
of liquor or immoral purposes.
The case was given a hearing late
Wednesday afternoon, a bill in equity
brought by Mayor Frank Robinson
and 10 other citizens Of Bangor, ask
ing for the injunction, having been
entered at the court several days ago.
The residence against which the ac
ton was directed, was formerly own
ed and occupied by prominent Bangor
people, but it was claimed that recent
ly it has been used for illegal purposes.
The bill in equity was signed by a
number of well-known residents Of
the city, in addition to the mayor.
U. G. Mudgett, the attorney for the
petitioners, has had some experience
in handling matters Of this nature,
having some time ago secured Sim
liar injunction against the former
Hampden House at Hampden High
lands, which has since been destroyed
by fire.. &; ~. ...
The witnesses were Deputy Sheriff
McGrath, Capt. Sproul and Patrolmen
r. B. Robinson, w. H. Geagan and F..
J. Rogan, who testified that they found
liquor in the house and that noto-
rious woman was discovered there.
They also told of seeing intoxicated
men and described the general appear
ance of the Cohen callers.
George E. Thompson, representing Co.
hen, in his argument claimed that suffi-
cient case had not been made; that there
should have been evidence of traffic.
The court after hearing the arguments
decided to grant the temporary injunc-
ton, explaining that if it is not needed
it will do no harm, and that if it is
needed it will do great deal of good.
In the case of William N. Daggett of
he ohat To ~
decision denying administration on the
estate, the man having been missing
seven years, the court ordered that 1t go
to the law court.
A night session was held again Wednes-
day night in order that court matters
might be taken care of, and the work
was thus facilitated in order to prepare
for the adjournment Thursday.

Forty divorces in one term Is enough
for any county in the opinion Of As
sociate Justice Leslie c. Cornish, who
for the past two days at the superior
court has devoted most Of his time to
the hearings in domestic difficulties,
where relief is sought in permanent sep
aration.
Wednesday morning the court an.
nounced to the attorneys at the bar
that aside from contested cases he
was was through hearing divorces
this term, and that those who had not
been heard would have to content
themselves until next october, when
court sits again. Later he qualified
by the remark that he might possibly
hear another or so, should the attend
ing circumstances be such that ha
deem it advisable.
Forty divorces are enough for any
one county at one term Of court" said
the presiding justice. 1T Is a good
fair limit for one time. The others
will have to wait patiently until Oc-
tober. Neither they nor society at
large can be injured thereby"
Divorces were heard about all day
Tuesday and because of the press OF
these matters, 1t became necessary to
hold special session Of the court
Tuesday evening. None of the di-
vorces granted we're ready to an
nounce Wednesday afternoon.

The cases on the assigned ana unas-
signed lists which had not been dis

Dictatinu AIoft,

When the military aeroplane is
scouting, it usually carries two men.
One is the pilot, who runs and steers
the craft the other is the observer,
who marks the placing of the hostile
troops, the position of their guns, the
movement OF trains, and the like. The
observer also makes many sketches
of the ground over which he is fly
ing work that often interferes with
his writing notes and memoranda. In
certain conditions of flight, too, it is
often hard for him to use a pencil
and paper. To obviate that difficulty
the military aeroplane, says the Scien-
titic American, now frequently carries
a monograph, with a speaking tube
running to the mouth of the observer,
so that by talking into the machine at
any time during the flight he can re-
cord his observations, and still have
his hands free for"his field glass or
his sketching pencil.
