Gov. Baxter Asks
Co. Attorneys to
Prevent Showing
|OfNuel Movies

"A telegram came to me this morn
ing from the American Animal De-
fence eague of California stating that
the Pathe Weekly News contains a
picture Of a Mexican bull fight in
which is depicted the cruel goring OF
horses and the torturing and tor
enting OF BULL" said Governor Bax-
ter Thursday.
Under the Maine law is Is unlaw-
full to show a motion picture in the
making of which cruelty to animals
was practiced and l immediatel,
wired the county attorneys of our
largest counties to investigate the
matter and to stop the picture if il
was unlawful and prosecute any
body who shows it.
"If this picture proves contrary to
our law and comes to Maine it will
afford us an opportunity to make a
test case, for nothing is more con-
temptible or more demoralizing than
to have a cruel motion picture shown
to the men and women, and espec-
tally to the boys and girls Of this
State"
Maine has taken an advanced po-
sition and has set an example to 9th
er states. l want this law enforced
and public sentiment will stand right
behind me-"

Chinese Girls Eager
To Attend School

Techow, Shantung, Aug. II CA. p.
BY MaiD-An unprecedented desire
for education for girls is being shown
through out the western districts of
Shantung. For perhaps the last ten
years there have been government
girls schools i'll a few of the cities
of this region. but they have not been
popular and the enroliments have not
been large.
OF late distinct change has taken
place. The villagers are clamOrin. (,
for schools. and particularly for
schools to impart western learning
geography, arithmetic, drawing, ath-
letics and other branches hitherto
rot considered desirable for Chinese
pupils and especially for girls.
A feature of the NOV ement Is n
certain social service phase which
1t has assumed. Many girls who
have been in school during the win
ter go to their homes for the summer
and open schools for less fortunate
girls. Boys too are working along
the same line and in some instances
where unable to get enough boy
pupils they admitted girls. Thus CO.
education is being introduced. an I'M
heard of mark of prost ess in these
interior places.

STATE HOUSE

, list will be duly. advertised In the
daily papers next week as the. law
requires.
residents who are shipping
game by express are not required to
Identify their game except at the
shipping point.
All O nonresident has to do in
order to ship game which he has le-
galIy killed by virtue of his hunting
license is to present his game to the
express agent at the shipping point.
The agent, after identifying the
shipper as the holder Of the license,
by the personal description given
therein, Is authorized to detach the
proper tag from the license and at
tach It to the game. 1t will then go
along to it's destination without any
further looking after by the owner.
The situation Is otherwise with
reference to residents of Maine.
There are no tags on the resident
licenses to attach to game, conse-
ouently residents must accompany
and identify their game at one OF
the regular express inspection sta
lions mentioned above, except when
the game Is sent under special
tag, which authorizes resident to
send 1t to his home without accom-
panying same. In such cases the
resident identifies himself with the
agent at the shipping point and the
number of his license is inserted in
the proper place on the tag, which
costs 81 for n deer and 50 cents for
q pair OF game birds.
Residents Cannot Ship Deer Out OF
the State
The department is again calling
the attention of would-be hunters to
the law which prohibits a resident
from shipping or taking a deer out
side of Maine.
The law also prohibits any person
from selling or giving away. pur-

| persons who plan to hunt in Maine
but in order to do so are following
| an itinerary which takes them through
! Canada CT New Brunswick in order
| to reach the hunting grounds in
Maine. For the information of such

ment has recently secured rulings
,, from the Quebec and New Brunswick
officials, which rulings read as fol-
lows:

plying to your letter of the 18th inst,

cept that they should not carry fire

ing hunting license" This letter
was written hy the chief game ward :

The Quebec regulations of last
