1t never rains but 1t rours. Sat
urday night, Charles l.. Cunning, a
we'll known resident of Rockland,
was knocked down by an automobile.
Somewhat dazed he accepted an in
vitation to ride to his home nearby.
AS he stood on the running board he
was knocked down for n second time
by an electric car. The incident
gave rise to report that a man had
been killed. MI. Dunning was not,
however, seriously injured.

There is no law which prevents a
man from "bawling out" an officer
tn 10 ~
to a Bath patrolman, who got his call
down Sunday from a citizen. Ac-
cording to the patrolman he did not
deserve the word flashing he received
but finds he can do nothing about it,
that according to the law almost
anybody can give a policeman a call
down whether deserved or not and
there is no comeback for the officer.
But profanity must not be used.
A petition signed by 81 residents
of Bangor has been presented to City
Clerk Victor l. Brett, and will be by
him presented to the city council at
it's September meeting. The petition
calls for an investiga ton into the
matter of Sunday closing of the
stores of the city. and indicates that
it is the belief of the signers that
many stores are keeping open under
suise of selling papers or food, and
doing a general business to the dct-
riment of other stores in the city
which do not open Sundays. The
list of signatures include those of
some of the most prominent men and
women of the city.

gress that is being made in teaching
the girls how to operate the knit
ting machines and announced that
plans are under way to ship IA more
machines to the Bath plant at once
to give employment to fully 20 girls.
If the new girls learn the business
as quickly as those already employed
it will be but short time before
they will be able to turn out work in

HAS \
BOOKS BARRED
IN CALIFORNIA
Histories Found Gun
American" by San Jose
Board on Hhelves Here.
BY COLLEGE MEN
Volumes Deal With War
With England and
Other Matters.

As a result Of a press dispatch from
San Jose, Cal, in which it was stated
that three American histories had
been ordered removed from the shelves
Of the San Jose Carnegie Library az
ter the book committee Of that insti-
tuition had branded them as "un-Amer-
lean and unfit for reading, particular
" by school children" the staff OF the
sal, Antonio Carnegie Library has as
certained that two of the volumes are
on the shelves of the San Antonio
library and have been there for years.
The librarian, Mrs. Frances Humph-
rey, would not announce what action
she would take. 1t was indicated,
however. that the two volumes would
be carefully read with a view OF as
certaining the truth or falsity OF the
charges by the San Jose book com
mittee.
The two books on the shelves of the
San Antonio Carnegie Library are
"The Epochs Of American History,
by Albert Bushnell Hart. professor OF
history at Harvard University, and
the American Revolution" by &. IL.
Van Tyne, professor of history at CO.
lumbia University. The third book
named BIZ the San Jose committee.
National Ideals of History Traced, y
by Professor Hart, is not on the
shelves OF the San Antonio library.
One Book Missing.
Although the volume The Epochs
of American History" is listed in the
card index, it was missing from the
shelves of the San Antonio library
Saturday afternoon. The other volume,
however, the american Revolution
had not been borrowed.
A cursory examination of the vol
ume. the american Revolution, fails
to reveal the basis of the charge by
the San Jose book committee. unless
it is in the general plan of the book
as revealed by a quotation from the
authors preface.
Professor Van Tyne says in part in
the preface TO the edition published
in 1905:
II have sought to portray the strug-
gle not as mere fight between Eng
land and America. but. Us it really
was. a civil war between opposing po-
litical factions in the British empire.
That these factions were not divided
by the ocean is clearly shown in the
bitter internecine war between Wing
and Tory in America. and by the
stubborn parliamentary struggle in
England.
Never Before Criticised.
The two books have been on the
shelves of the San Antonio Carnegie
library for several years. the library
staff said. and are largely used by
school children as reference books.

held in the Raleigh Hotel. Rhodes
5. Baker, chairman of the state com
mittee, presided and the meeting was
opened with a devotional session Fri

speakers of the convention, Mr..
Hearne said, were B. G. Alexander of
Denver, international secretary of the
international committee of the western
region, and L. A. Coulter, state secre-
tory. Mr.. Coulter spoke very encour-
agingly, Mr.. Hearne said, on the work
OF the associations in the state. He
stated that the religious emphasis of
the association program in the last
year had grown and that this would
be stressed more and more during the
coming year.

Bexar Hotel at Houston and Jefferson

old Maverick Hotel, just across the
street, was torn down and replaced by
a modern office building.
Following remodeling, the Bexar
Hotel building will be used for bank
ing and club purposes. The Guaran-
tee State Bank will occupy the first
floor, while some club, will probably
occupy the upper three floors.
The Bexar Hotel was erected in
1895 by Mrs. Caroline Kampmann.
For the first ten years, it was operated
in conjunction with the Menger and
was considered one of the city's lead
ing hotels. There are seventy-five
guest rooms.
According TO plans announced Sat
urday, the Bexar Hotel building will
be remodeled throughout. The exterior
will be refaced with cast stone and
face brick. after the Italian Renais-
sance style. The first floor will be
C .verted into a modern banking
room. It is estimated that this work
will cost at least S125,000. Phelps
and Devices are the architects.
