more complete reports from the school
secretaries; organized class registra-
ton in the denomirational and State
Offices; and there will be something

Moon Too Inconsistent
To Govern Date Of Easter

st. Louis. Feb. a3-Thc moon is too
inconsistent a planet to govern the
date of Easter. in the OPINION of Rev
II. s. Brennan. priest Of
this city. who has expressed hope
that the council Of astronomers called
by the late Pope Benedict Nv for a
meeting in Rome next April will de-
eide to eliminate the moon as a
means Of determining the date Of the
Paschal Feast.
Father Brennan recently suggested
that u certain date be fixed or a
certain SUNDAY. ana suggested that
either April 3 or the second Sunday N
april be designated the day. on which
the churches celebrate Easter. The
present method OF fixing the first
Sunday following the first full moon
after the vernal equinox. Father Bren-
non points out, leaves a range Of 81
days for the Easter feast. and by fix
ing certain day or certain sunday,
lie believed, much confusion could be
avoided

EQUITY HEARING
Before Chief Justice Cornish in Case
of William r. Campbell, Formerly
of WatcrvilIe, Against Boothby G.
Bartlett Co. of Watervile

a bill in equity brought by Will
liam r. Campbell. formerly Of Wa
tcrVillc and now of Portland,
against the Boothby & Bartlett Co
of Waterville was heard Thursday
forenoon before Chief Justice Leslie
G. Cornish, at the court house. In
this case the plaintiff seeks TO re-
cover for commissions on liability in
surancc policies. issued while he was
which had not been received until
after his withdrawal which occurred
on August 81. 1918.
Mr.. Campbell left the defendant
company at that time and formed q
partnership in Portland under the
name Of Campbell, Payson and
Noycs.
The question at issue is whether
the plaintiff is entitled to commits
sions on policies issued before
August 81, 1918, but not adjusted
until subsequent thereto. An ac-
counting is asked and a master will
doubtless be appointed at a later
stage, after the question of law has
been decided. Briefs will be filed be-
fore March 81, and the decision is
reserved. Attorneys Perkins and
Weeks OF Waterville appeared as
counsel for the plaintiff, and Hon.
w. l.. Pattangall of Augusta as
counsel for the defendant.

APPEAL DISMISSED
OF Bartholomew j. Sullivan Of Port
land from Decision of Bank Com
missioner Lawrence Refusing to
Grant Renewal of Registration as a
Dealer in Securities

4 decision was rendered by Chief
Justice Leslie G. Cornish of the Su-
promc Judicial court Thursday, dis
missing the appeal of Bartholomew
j. Sullivan Of Portland from the de-
cision Of Bank Commissioner Fred
+. Lawrence, refusing to grant Sui
liyan a renewal Of his registration
as dealer in securities issued
April 80, 1921 This case involves
to some extent a consideration of the
power Of the bank commissioner
over the licensing of dealers in Sc
curities under the Blue Sky Law"
so called.
The bank commissioner is asked
to issue 4 renewal of registration as
q matter Of course" says the decis-
ion of Chief Justice Cornish. that
is, as matter OF claimed right on
the part OF an applicant who was
licensed to sell one class of secur-
tiles. who subsequently asked per-
mission TO include another class
| which was not granted. who frankly
admits that nevertheless he has
sold the unpermitted class and after
registration is renewed intends to do
so until prevented by the commits
sioncr under Sections IS and 10 Of
the revised statutes
Il think the commissioner is act
! ing entirely within his legal province
when in his discretion he refuses the
renewal under these circumstances.
'No real injury is done to the pc
! titiOncr. He can make new APP
piication. as the commissioner has
! suggested, including both securities.
and the com missioner can make
| further investigation, il he desires
! 50 to do, concerning the affairs of
! the Moore Container Corporation,
and then in the exercise Of his dis
erection and good judgment grant or
decline tie registration.
This. however, the petitioner has
! declined TO do, relying upon his al
| legged rights under his applications
! for renewal.
His contention cannot he sustain :
ed and the entry must be, Appeal
Dismissed"
