The inane Notwithstanding fad is
losing friends yearly. True, Bar
Harbor has adopted it, and a few
other towns on Mt. Desert island,
following their big sister for self
convenience, may do likewise. Bar
Harbor was catering to it's summer
population, but prominent Bar
Harbor man tells The American that
he believes the real sentiment of the
business men of the town is two to
one against the plan. Bangor al
dermen kicked over the doughpan
however, when they voted to begin
daylight saving April 1, naming
very appropriate date for the people
to begin fooling themselves. But
everyone in Bangor was not willing
to be fooled. The howl that went
up from mothers of school children
and from business men had it's eff
feet, and the mayor vetoed the or
der, disappearing the plan as mot
wanted by the people, detrimental to
business and putting Bangor out of
Joint with communities to which the
city looks for trade.

Justice l.. B. Deasy has denied the
petition for temporary injunction
against the building of the Hancock
Sullivan bridge. With the expedi-
ency, wisdom or popularity of the
work, he says, the court has nothing
to do; on the question of legality of
steps so far taken there seems no
question, and his summing up of the
case indicates no doubt in his mind
as to the constitutionality of the act
The opponents of the bridge may see
fit to delay action by further expen-
sive proceedings, but it would seem
to us that the Court decision re-
moves most of the ground under
them, and further action will be
mere filibustering. The magnani
NOUS thing for them to do now, and
perhaps the wisest from a pecuniary
standpoint, is to admit the futility of
opposition, shake hands with old
friends from whom the bridge con-
troversy has estranged them, and let
the work go on unhindered. Justice
Deasy's decision in full appears on
page 6.

aldermen served last year. If the

All named, it was reported. were
charged with operating q confidence
game and evidence was heard which,
it was predicted would result in the
voting of fourteen more true bills
tomorrow.
Similar action was expected, ac-
cording to officials OF the states at
torney's office, against Raymond j..
Bischoff on whose operations Har-
rington was said to have modelled his
own, and into whose affairs an in
vestigation has been in progress for
several days.
In his testimony before referee IN
bankruptcy, Bischoff has estimated
his liabilities at s4,500,000 with assets
of less than $1,000 in cash. Others,
however, have estimated Bischoff' 5
liabilities at approximately s7000,00O
all collected in the form of
loans during the past two years by
the 25-year- -old promoter.
AT the same time the belief was ex-
pressed by those in the states at
torney's office who were familiar
with the course OF the investigation
that the losses of thousands of poor
investors who trusted their money to
Harrington and Bischoff might be
as much as $4,000
