Bangor, Me., June 6 — Police forced 

 the door of a florist's shop on Central 

 street last night just in time to pre- 

 vent Kaiser, a cat belonging to a 

 marketman, from killing a second 

 dove of peace after he had badly 

 mangled one. In observance of regis- 

 tration day the florist arranged an ex- 

 hibit of red, white and blue blooms, 

 and three white doves put on the fin^ 

 ishing touch. Kaiser sneaked in by a 

 back stairway and pounced upon the 

 doves, mussing the display.
