The Rutland News gives this informa-
tion concerning the troubles OF a former
Randolph pastnr:-"Rev. George w.
Morrow. formerly superintendent OF the
Vermont Anti-Saloon league, is in hot
"oNtA al AAANAAh1AF - ms %AANA@A AN1
resignation AS superintendent OF the
Michigan A~nti-Saloon league. The
whole trouble comes over some alleged at
tempt on Morrow's part to vote blocks OF
voters illegally in a locai-option election
in one county. The Michigan Anti
Saloon league officers state that Morrow,
in their opinion, had no notion OF fraud,
but they censure him for lack OF judy

mont more for his earnestness and impet-
uosity than for his sane Judgment, so his
present difficulty in Michigan will not be
an entire surprise here" A news des-
patch states Mr.. Morrow attempted col
onization OF "dry" voters in the jackson
county campaign in April, 1903. In a
letter which the superintendent admitted
writing, referring to the Jackson county
campaign, he asked II cit would be pos
sibIe for you to send in perhaps a hum
dred or two hundred men from Grand
Rapids or Detroit, or round about, on
contract to vote on the day of election"
Mr.. Morrow presented his resignation,
but it was not accepted despite rumors
that it would be. Resolutions, however,
were adopted that the committee thought
Superintendent Morrow had been ''indis-

The man who telegraphed Lucius Webb
of East Granville last October ia the
name Of his son, Lieut.. Dewitt c. Webb,
to send $50 In care Of the general delivery
at Springfield, Mass, is still a puzzler to
the police. Before sending the sum
asked for. Mr.. Webb communicated with
his son at the Charlestown navy yard and
learned that be was in no distress for $50
and had not telegraphed from Spring /
field. With the aid OF the post office in
spector the impostor was arrested and
landed In Jail Tor three months. No
sooner was be at liberty thar he seems to
have attempted forgery in the matter
of q postofice money order and, being
convicted, is now in the federal prison at
Atlanta, serving a three years sentence
for his crime. He gave his name as
George II. Webb and his home as Platts-
burg, and though every possible effort
has been made to discover his real name
and address, the mystery surrounding
him remains unsolved. 1t was in Octo-
Der last also that this same individual
met at Bradford, q young lady school
from Springfield, Mass, who was
at bradford for her health. He then gave
name as Walter Adams and said he
was an agent for agricultural imple-
He made love to the young lady
and they were soon married. His wife
practically nothing of his past life
and his claiming the name OF Webb after
his arrest was q surprise to her. HIS
photograph has been sent to Springfield
Ia hope that someone may identity him
but no one has yet been found who
knows the man although several say they
have seen him.
