lands most costly sign, though not
the largest, Is that operated by b. F.

"Of the boys who come before the
court here. too many Of them are or
dered semitic the State Reformatory,"
declared c. J. Atkinson. Of the BOYS
Clubs Association. Tuesday to the
Bangor Rotary Club. Eighteen minors
were in court during this year. four
having been sent to reformatory. That
is far higher than in other cities, the
average being one out of every hun
dred who appear in court. Bangor's
apparently sterner Juvenile sentences
were explained as being due to the po-
lice system. Unlike many other cities.
most Of the Juvenile troubles do not
come before the judge. The police
chief settles them out Of court. and
only the more important offenscs are
tried.

Dispatches in the theatrical papers
indicate that the case against Alfred
S. Black. formerly Of Rockland. Me-.
who was indicted as the result Of a
fatal fire in the Rialto Theatre, New
Haven. more than a year ago, is likely
to be dropped. Mr.. Black was prcsi-
dent and treasurer of the Connecticut
Theatres Corporation, controlling the
theatre that burned. and so was among
three officials indicted by the grand
jury. He was not in Connecticut, how
ever. when the indictment was re-
turned, and it is now found that he
cannot be extradited-not being a fugi-
tive from justice. Assistant Attorney
General Goldberg Of Massachusetts,
where Mr.. Black now is. has informed
Governor Cox to this effect-and so,
unless Mr. Black returns to Connecti-
cut voluntarily, nothing further can
be done.
