Priest Pleads for
Law Observance
In Chicago Address

Chicago, Feb. 24-(APJ-Speaking
on prohibition "from the Catholic
viewpoint" Rev. Joseph Reiner. S. J.,
Of the college of arts and sciences Of
Loyola University, today pleaded for
emphasis upon the need of law OBJ
servance and respect for the law. He
addressed the Lake Shore Women's
club
so far as Catholic principles are
concerned, a government may adopt
prohibition or not, may continue or
repeal it or modify it," he said.
when the government adopts pro-
hibition, prohibition becomes a law,
and as law, not as prohibition, it
assumes moral aspects"
For those with an honest belief
that prohibition is unwise, he said
that from the Catholic viewpoint
you have the right, | would say you
have the obligation, to agitate for
its repeal but from that same view
point, You have another and a more
sacred and a more compelling obliga-
ton, the obligation to agitate for a
substitute measure that gives fair
promise to meet the situation more
effectively.
Prohibition is not so completely
out of harmony with Catholic
thought and practice as some would
have us believe" he said.

ceny of two bed spreads from Mrs

raigned in the Waterville municipal

that they were her property and she
had the warrant sworn out. Mrs.
Gagne claimed she had also lost two
embroidered bureau scarfs and two
pillow slips trimmed with hand made
lace.
Mrs. Name claimed that she had
washed the bed spreads for her mo-
Their. Mrs. Paul Buker. She knew

Lecture Given
By Episcopal Rector
Proves Interesting

Shanghai, China, was the subject of
an interesting illustrated lecture at
st. Marks Episcopal church last eve
ming by Rev. Robert Gay, rector of
the church. The pictures were 60 in
number. beautifully colored, and they
depicted many phases of Chinese life.
In opening his talk Mr.. Gay dis
cussed the physical characteristics of
the great Oriental country, saying that
it's area was some 600 million acres
and it's present population 400 million.
This represents density of popula-
tion 20 times that of the United
States. There are wellnight illimit-
able fields of coal and iron which will
at some future time be exploited.
China is the oldest nation in the
world, the speaker said, its actual his
tory going back as far as 1000 B. C.
and it's Legendary story running back as
far as 5000 B. c.
But the glory that was China's faded
and at the opening of the present GEN.
fury she was, to quote Bishap Bash
ford, face to face with the strange
phenomenon of an arrested civiliza-
the same as that of 500 B. c..
The speaker also devoted consider
able time to a discussion of the Great
Wall of China which was built about
ESQ B. c. The wall, Is to 80 feet
thick, runs for 1900 miles over valleys
and mountains and 1t represents more
human labor than any other structure
in the world

George Pullen Is the director. The
band is the oldest musical organiza-
ton in the city, having been In
continuous existence since 1880. For
a number of years its leader was K.
b. Hall, who established an enviabie
reputation as a composer and among
his compositions are such we'll
known selections as, "The DeMolay
Commandery March," 1.-THE Water
vile March" and Greetings to Ban
gor March" Each summer the band
has played on Monument park on
alternate Wednesday evenings,
Drew's Waterville Band playing the
other evenings.
To make the concert more enjoy
able there will be a speaker who will
discuss some topic of current inter-
est. The idea of speakers was inau-
gurated two weeks ago, when DR..
William ]. Wilkinson, professor of
history at Colby college, spoke brief
ly on current events and 1t proved
a very pleasing innovation.
No admission is charged at the
concerts and the public is cordial
ly invited to attend. Pledge cards
will be distributed among the audi
ence to be filled out with amounts
which the people feel they can af-
ford to give towards the bandstand.
But those who have the concerts in
charge wish to impress upon the
public that they need feel no obliga-
ton to contribute and it is hoped
that large audience is present Sum
day afternoon.

Horse Slaughtering
Plant, Declared Crazy

Rockford, Ills, Feb. 24-(AP)-

claimed his love for animals spurred
his attempts to destroy the horse
meat packing plant here, has been
found guilty Of arson and declared
insane.
Littls will be sent to the Chester
penitentiary for criminal insane as

late last night. The defendant vigor-
ously fought the insanity defense Of
his counsel.

rae the Chapel Brothers plant
where horses are slaughtered for for
eign consumption and for domestic
use and animal food. One fire start
ed last October resulted in damage of
$4,000, while others were eXtinguish-
ed with little damage.

dynamite on the night of Dec. 3 led
to his arrest. Surprised by watch
man while placing the explosive, Lifts
was shot. He was found the next day
weak from loss of blood.
He claimed he came to Rockford
to destroy the plant after learning
on Montana ranch that animals
were sent here for slaughter.

boy later was discredited by author
tiles who said he was a miner and a
member of several radical societies.
During his stay in jail he prepared
an address to the jury defending his
actions on Biblical preceptS.
