point. He said the issue was not of
religion. but of politics; that he didn't
bring it into the campaign; that the
leader of the Khan did that when he
announced the Khan had endorsed the
Republican candidate for governor.
Mr.. Pattangall then outlined what
he said is the real situation. He said
that he subscribed to all periodicals
that dealt in any way with the Khan
and that he had studied the Khan
issue as he would a case in law and
that he thought he understood the
Khan better than half the misguided
men who had joined the organization.

his country in every way but would
have been ineligible under the rule Of

Hold Second Trials
Playground and
Track Meet Thursday

The second set of trials in the
track and playground meet was held
yesterday at the Lockwood play
ground. The meet was held under
threatening clouds but the children
never let up for minute and broke
several records that were made at the
College Avenue playground We'd
neSday.
The object of having these contests
is to arouse friendly rivalry between
the individual as well as between the
two groups of Fairgrounds. These
meets are being held under the super
vision of Mr.. Hendricks and his four
assistants. One of the meets was
held at the College Avenue grounds
Wednesday, when seven events were
contested. The girls have the same
seven events and showed that they
are equal to the boys when it comes
to jumping.
Yesterday the same seven events
were run off at the other playground.
The events are: Running broad
jump, standing broad jump, 70-yard
dash, toss ball game, horseshoe game,
swimming race. and the under water
race. At each playground the six
best persons in each event were
chosen to compete in the finals at the
college grounds next Wednesday,.

Large Automobile
Exhibit This Year
At Central Me. Fair

The automobile exhibit at the Cen
trail Maine Fair this year will COM
prise about so cars and two makes Of
trucks. 1t will be housed in a large
tent as last year and is certain to be
one OF the interesting features of the
fair. Practically every local dealer
Will be represented and a number of
out of town dealers will have exhibits
there. The tent Is going to be fixed
up better than ever this year, and
1t will be provided with a loud
speaker so that the announcements
from the judges stand will be heard
there plainly, and also the music from
the radio receiving station. 1t is
probable also that a number of the
dealers will have radio receiving sets
OF their own so that music will be one
OF the features of the show.
While not the largest automobile
show that has ever been seen in
Maine. it will be fully up to the stan
dard in every respect and will be a
liberal education for the people who
are interested in the latest and best
In automobile construction. All of
the models shown will be 1925 and
the visitor will be able to get a good
line on what will be the prevailing
fashion for next year.

Waterville Riddles
To Pass II Days at
Christmas Cove

Although Commandant Fowler of
the Waterville Salvation Army is
glad to hear that the boys and girls
of Waterville and Fairfield will have
Il days at Christmas Cove this year,
it is with regret that he learns that
the reason for this is an epidemic of
sickness in RockAnd which will pre-
vent the children from that city
from going on the outing this year.
Commandant Fowler received a
telephone call yesterday informing
him of the extension for the Water
Vile kiddies, because Mr.. Miles
wanted the Waterville children to
have better time. Mr.. Fowler
called up Major f. Osmond of Port
land. who has arranged for the Wat
erville crowd to leave on Friday,
August % instead of 26 and return
on September instead of 6. Parents
are asked to note the change in
dates. Commandant Fowler has ar
ranged with George Mari, secretary
OF the Waterville Rotary club. for
cars to leave Waterville at l O'Clock
on Friday. the 22nd. arriving at
Christmas Cove at 4 o'clock, when Il
shore dinner will be served.
Commandant Fowler said last night
that already 500 children have had
outings at Christmas Cove this year
through the work of the Salvation
Army.

Accommodations Yet
Wanted for Legion
Delegates Here Soon

Although 1t is some Ettle time since
the committee on accommodations for
the delegates and guests coming to
the convention of the American Le-
gion Department of Maine sounded
their first call for rooms there is still
plenty of chances for the citizens OF
Waterville to rent their rooms to Le-
gionaies during the three days of the
conventio nand If any citizen feels
that the room in his or her home
can be rented for only two days do
not hesitate to. call Harry Drawn.

Representatives are coming from
practically every town and city in
the state of Maine, 400 in all accord
ing to the estimate of James L. Boyle
state adjutant and certainly Water
Vile citizens do not want these Lee
gionaires to feel that Waterville IS
ar inhospitable town.
Most Maine homes have a spare
room for guests and nere is a chance
to show hospitality and at the same
time put it on lucrative basis for
three days or rather nights for about
all the time these men are going to
bother with a room is when they are
too sleepy to do anything else.
The convention is only 10 days
away and already some Of the bus
mess establishments Of the city are
beginning to decorate in patriotic
colors for the event.
waterville is known as the conven-
ton city of Maine and the citizens
do not want to discourage these con-
vention groups from meeting here by
refusing to accommodate them over
night.

Los Angeles, Calf, Aug. 14-Kid
Mccoy, once idol of the prize ring,
Beau Brummel of sporting circles,

NAL ventures, tonight at the age of
81 years-which he admits-faces
the prospect of attempting to cheat
the hangmans moose by a plea of
insanity.
Against him stands a charge of
suspicion of murder, which District

1t already has been announced
that if a murder charge is preferred
against the ex-fighter, an insanity
plea will be introduced.
one of these legal advisers said
today that McCoys friends had
been worried about his mental con-
dltlon for several weeks and had
planned taking him before a lunacv
commission.
Mrs. Mors. with whom Mccoy had

her temple, a deep cut on her lin
and other cuts and bruises else
where on her body.
Mccoy was sought after his inva-
sion of the West Lake business dis

nothing coherent relative to the
murder. Towards evening he told
a long story of having been with
Mrs. Mors Tuesday night, when, in
