Augusta, Me-. May 26. The marble
bust Of James q Blaine that has for
eight years stood in the rotunda Of the
state house was today packed up and
shipped by express to Professor G.
Trentanove Of Florence, Italy, who is
at present in Milwaukee.
. The bust was thought by the general
public to be part of the. permanent
art collections Of the state capitol, but
the illusion was sometime ago dis.
PEELED by repeated dunning letters from
the sculptor, who never received a cent
for his. work. He says the bust was or
fdered by the late Joseph H. Marley,
who, it is claimed, had all along in
3tended,to put a bill thru the Legislature
to meet the expense, but in the rush
of more important business the pay for
the sculptor got lost.
I Professor Trentanove designed the
statue Of Pierre Marquette in Wash
|:ington and is the author Of other not
able pieces. The bust of Blaine was
never liked by members Of the family
and friends. .altho Joseph A. Homan
the veteran journalist and next door
neighbor, has always commended that it
was most faithful delineation of the
ltgreat statesman.

!, Washington, May 26.-Representa-
tive Nicholas Longworth, the presi-
dent IS son-in-law, was 60 rrested' by
the sergeant-at-arms of the house yes
terday afternoon, together with twenty
FIVE other members, at a ballgame. Mr..
Longworth was occupying the presi-
dents box and was just applauding a
three-bagger by Cleveland player
when he was captured. The whole
crowd was loaded into waiting auto
mobiles and taken to the house and
voted on the last rollcall of the day.
Speaker Cannon has had trouble in
maintaining a majority of the house to
do business on dull days. After the
rate bill was disposed of yesterday,
lpensions were the order of the day. 1t
was understood that Mr.. Williams, who
has been conducting mild filibuster in
the hope of forcing action on the state
hood bill, would "be good,' as pen
isions are the greatest ~humdrum Of a
congressman g existence.
Consequently the house members scat
itered to the four winds. Williams called
aj"no quorum' and a rollcall revealed
the fact that he was right. The arrests
followed and at that the last rollcall
showed only 1914 members present and
1883 absent. It was a narrow escape
for the republicans.
