Robber Gets SIS )
In Auburn Convent

Lewiston, July IA daring day
light robber entered the Franciscan
convent in New Auburn Wednesday
morning and stole SIS in cash before
the eyes of a Mortified nun.
The thief entered at 10 o'clock
through a window on the ground
floor. One of the nuns heard a
strange noise in a room ADJOINING.
Investigating she saw a man with a
pocketbook which he had taken from
the drawer of a. desk he had pried
open.
Startled to find he was discovered
he rushed out the back way and the
nun shouted to Mr.. Auclair, the Care
taker.
The commotion which followed at
tracted the attention of Officer Jerry
Boisvert who happened to be passing
the building. He came in to find out
what it was all about and was told
the story by the excited nuns.
Earlier in the week the thief had
called to inquire of the nuns What
time mass was celebrated in the
morning. He speaks very good Eng
lish and on being informed went
away. Now it is claimed that he was
carefully planning the robbery and
timing his movement for an unde-
tected getaway.

fed some of the neigh5ors and then
message brought Deputy Henderson to

the posse and then men went through
the woods until darkness settled down.
The search was resumed Wednesday
morning and all of the streams in the

mise" as you stated at Tacoma. 1t
was reported publicly, and never de-
MED, that it met with your approval.
You and your council ordered the
commissioner of education to publish
a pamphlet explaining the amendment
to the people. True, the pamphlet as
published was justly criticized by Ma
jor Thayer in that it was deceptive
and gave the impression that the
amendment would affect only secta-
rian schools; but no harm was done.
All who read the amendment realize
that it is precisely the Massachusetts
amendment, and it will forever bar
public aid to any institution of every
kind which is not both publicly owned
and publicly controlled.
l want to say to you that l shall
stand by my guns, and | have right
to expect you to do the same. / am
emphatically in favor of this amend
ment. I am willing to risk defeat at
the polls in my candidacy for the
Senate for the sake of my convic-
tions, and l expect you to do the
same. l shall assume that you We're
sincere when you stumped the State
two years ago calling for the Mass
achusetts Amendment, until the con-
trary appears. However, / think that
you should lose no time in announc-
mig your unqualified support of the
Maher Amendment. Its adoption will
once and for all end the conditions
of sectarian consciousness and re
ligious hate which has set friend
against friend and distracted the
people for two years past. How far
the i'll advised campaign which you
conducted two years ago may have
contributed to this condition, your
own conscience may ansWer-it Is
not for me to judge you.
/ am taking the liberty to publish
a copy of this letter in the press, as
l consider the subject a matter of
grave public moment. I shall await
your reply with interest and concern.
Very truly yours,

100000 in Gifts
To Maine General
HOSPITAL. Portland

Portland, July 14,-Four gifts to
the Maine General Hospital aggre-
eating 100000 were announced to-
day by officers of the institution in
connection with their campaign to
raise funds for the remodeling and
re-equipping of the hospital and to
bring 1t up to the standard of the
very finest in the country.
The gifts are as follows:
Herbert j. Brown, $4,000; Miss
Ellen Libby, 100000; c.. II. Payson,
100000; A Friend, $4,000.
In addition it was also stated that
Charles 3. Alexander has completed
remodeling a fine room which is
completely furnished, has modern
plumbing, lighting and heating, and
which is declared to be unexcelled
by a similar room in any hospital
Equip Children's Ward
Mr.. and Mrs. H. NJ. Verrill, 1t was
also announced, are remodeling, fur
nishings and equipping a children's
ward as a memorial to their son.
Sweeping improvements have also
been made in the physical equip
ment of the institution during the
past year but a vast amount re-
mains to be done In order to enlarge
it's scope of usefulness. In the first
place, Notwithstanding its great size,
it is already too small for the de-
mands that are made upon it, and
it's officials have in mild compre-
hensive plan for greatly increasing
its capacity through the utilizing of
a large amount of space not now
available, the adding of several new
wards and rooms, the installation of
a large amount of additional equip
ment of the highest type and also
broadening it's field so as to be able
to administer with the finest appli-
ances known to science to almost
every i'll with which humanity is
afflicted.
In order to do this it will be
necessary to raise fund of several
hundreds of thousands of dollars
and the four gifts announced today
are but the start in the intensive
campaign which Is to follow in the
next few weeks.

Government Tax Day Operations
At the outset of the quarterly tax

usual problem of preventing Treasury
disbursements for maturing securities

and second, that of preventing undue

America and the League

"The recent failure to admit Ger
many to a seat in the Council OF the
League of Nations has produced in
the United States, among those who
favor, and still more among those
who oppose, our entry into the
League, an effect out of proportion
to It's true significance" writes A.
Lawrence Lowell, President of Har-
ward University, in the July issue OF
Foreign Affairs (New York;
"The very importance attached to
the admission of Germany as a men,
Der of the League with a seat on the
Council, and to the question of other
additional seats there, shows the sig
nificance ascribed by the leading
governments to the League and it's
Council. Now it is clear that If the
ruling statesmen of the greater ma
lions shall continue to regard the
League as important it will be i'm
portant. for they have the power to
make it so.
UNLESS something unforeseen
should occur the present difficulty
about the admission of Germany to
the League can easily be surmounted
in September A more persistent
question is whether the attendance
of the Premiers and Foreign Minis
ters at the meetings of the Council
and Assembly will prove a lasting
custom, or is due merely to certain
pressing questions that will pass
away. If the governments of tire
greater nations seriously intend to
use the League and its Council for
threshing out international problems
the Importance and influence of the
League are assured. Principles and
policies will there be worked out and
generally accepted, and every coun-
try will inevitably find it's advantage
in taking part in the discussions at
the formative stage.
''In America we have already wit
messed an example in our own case
of not being present when a matter
of universal interest was considered.
In 1856 we took no part in the Con-
Sress of Paris which agreed to abol-
ish the use of privateerS in naval
warfare. We refused to assent TO
that agreement unless the nations
would go farther by conceding to pri-
vate property at sea the same protec-
ton that it has on land, and we made
it clear that we should not feel bound
by the provision against privateers
since we were not a party thereto
But in face of the general sentiment
created by the Declaration of Paris
we have never ventured to act against
this provision and we never shall AT
the opening of the Spanish War, in
deed. we felt so strongly the need of
bowling to an opinion created in our
absence that we declared we should

Two Gangsters .
Killed in Chicago
Underworld War

Chicago. July 14.-(P)-Gang war;
fare resulted in two deaths in different
parts Of the city early today. Jules
Portuguese, "a, convicted gunman and
once before target for gangster bull
let's, was taken for a ride and his
bullet-riddled body left by a lonely
roadside % miles from Chicago.
More than 800 found on the body
and the four bullet wounds in the head
indicated to police that the victim had
been killed in the traditional gang
fashion
Joseph Ciccone, 81, said to be a high
lieutenant in the thinning ranks of the
notorious Genna gang, was called to
the door of his home shortly after
midnight and shot and killed. The as
sailants, who were said to be only
youths, escaped after an exchange of
shots with a policeman.
Ciccone's wife and six children were
with him when the doorbell rang and
he opened the door to face the fusilade.
There were no clues in either case
as to the identities of the slayers.
