turbance at funerals. 1t might be
interesting to discover just how seri-
Gus the funeral disturbance of
Puritan times might have been.
"Railers and brawlers" are offend
ers of no mean proportions. Were
this law to be rigidly enforced in
these gin-party prohibition days,
officials admit that the jails might be
well filled. Almost any apartment
house has a "brawl" of the sort
imagined by the good old fathers
and the disturbance caused by three
flappers learning Charleston steps
would be quite sufficient cause for
arrest.
Not Alone
Massachusetts, it is pointed out, is
not alone in such freak laws. Rhode
Island and other New England coast
States in the Puritan belt have
scores Of laws equally amusing to a
modern, and New Jersey is another
State with it's quota.

Haskell Stoddard Reunion

The Haskell Stoddard annual fam
lily reunion will be held this year at
the Hotel Worster, Hallowell. Lun-
cheon will be served at one o'clock,
and will include one of the hotels
best menus. Rev. Horace Haskell. of
Gardiner. who is head of the tempor-
AIRY organization effected at Gardiner
last year, is in general charge of the
arrangements for the affair. The as
ISOLATION has a good membership in
Maine and includes a number of out
of state people as well. All are in
some way descendants of the James
Stoddard, at one time an officer of
the British navy. who came to AM
erica and threw in his lot with the
colonies, married in Dover, n. H., a
Quaker lassie. Nancy Meader. and
came to Maine, to what was then
called Fox Island to live. There is
said to be much that is romantic and
interesting in his history, and in the
Haskell line. coming as it does from
the three brothers, Roger Mark and
William, who came to Massachusetts
as early as 1882. and whose descend
ants penetrated to Maine. and later
went West as pioneers. 1t is expect
ed at this second annual meeting to
perfect the orga nization and to pro-
mote acquaintance among the mem
bers.

Charge Fannie
Hurst and Liberty
With Plagiarism

Los Angeles. Cal, Aug. 1a.-(Pl-
The prize-winning story from which
the motion picture "Mannequin' was
filmed and for which Fannie Hurst,
author. received $4,000 from the mag
azine Liberty Weekly, was alleged to
have been pla giarized in a suit filed in
superior court today by Olivia W. Sey-
mour.
Miss Seymour, who named Miss
Hurst Famous Players-Lasky Film
Corporation and Liberty Weekly. Inc.
as defendants. charged the play was
taken from her story Resemblance"
and asked that an injunction restrain
ing its further projection be issued -
and that she be awarded damages in
the sum of $500 900. She also petition
ed the court for an accounting on all
profits from the plays theatre show
ing.
The plaintiff alleged in her bill of
complaint that in May. 1925, she sub
mitted to the defendants story un-
der the title of Resemblance" for
consideration. She declared the story
was rejected and returned TO her the
following October. shortly afterward
the picturized play called Name
GUM was released throughout the
world.

Mexican Business
Men Ask Conference
On Religious Situation

Mexico City, Aug. 19-(R-Mexi-
can business men-themselves most
ly Roman Catholics-have proposed
to the government and the Catholic
Episcopate that a conference be held
for the adjustment of the present
religious controversy.
At the same time the Episcopate,
for the first time since the religious
difficulties arose, but not the first
time in Mexican history, has ad.
dressed direct petition to the presi.
dent of the Republic.
The Episcopate which has often
expressed its determination never to
accept the present regulations has
sent a letter to President Gales,
who has frequently and even more
vigorously declared he will never
withdraw them. This letter asks
him to suspend the regulations, to
give the church its freedom and 10
radically modify the religious clauses
of the constitution, declaring that
only in that manner the old religious
struggle can be settled.
The presidents office so far has de-
clned official comment on these pro-
posals for peace but sources close
to the government express the GER
tainty that President Gales will not
alter his past attitude. Upon former
occasions the president had declared
that he would not suspend the regu-
lations even if the Catholic church
should announce acceptance of them,
but that if Catholics accepted and
obeyed the regulations, it would not
be necessary to enforce penalties
against them.
President Gales also has previous
ly declared that the only solution of
the controversy is for the Catholic
church to obey the constitution and
laws. Church dignitaries, however.
assert the church cannot live under
such regulations. Unless President
Gales should completely reverse
himself (Which many would regard
as little less than miracle) most
observers feel that the Episcopate's
letter will be unable to alter the fun
damental deadlock.

reasons Mr.. Colby explained that a

God and drifted. was caused by his
failure to read Gods word or lack of
