Walter A Dear. brother of Mr.. Joseph
A. Dear. had thrilling experience yester.
day afternoon in the Weldon Building.
Thomaf Walsh. the elevator boy, was
about to close the door OF the elevator
when MIR Dear tripped In and with long
English accent called Hold on"
Walsh held on and allowed Mr.. Dear to
enter. Mr.. O'Brien of the New Jersey
Crayon Company and another gentleman
were in the elevator. An over pressure
of air In the pumps and q
superfous amount of the same article
in the elevator caused the machine
to shoot skyward with great rapidity. and
the next instant it crashed through the
thin boards which cover the shaft at the
fifth floor. Mr.. Dear turned all colors and
trembled to such an extent that for once
in his life he was unable to speak.
No one was injured, but all the three
gentlemen were badly scared. The dam
age was very slight.

the special committee appointed last fall to determine
the identity OF the bust in Doric Hall which
the controversy two years ago. This bust had been
for the best pact OF this century In the state House
without a name for part Of the time Although there
was tradition that this intended to represent the
features Of Samuel Adams. the claim made that IL
looked more like Washington and the bust OF the latter
in Christ Church in salemst said to be almost

and photographs lasted through two sessions OF the
Legislature. and resulted In the appointment Of
mission to determine this question. The commission
report is TO the effect that the weight CT evidence is in
favor OF George Washington AS the Original. This
conclusion IS supported By comparison with othec
busts Of Washington, and by sitting. far posi-.
