MAY PUT BACK GEORGE ~.
Patriots Pulled the Statue Down and
Made II Into Bullets.

New York, Aug. 25.--A project has
been started here to restore the sta
tue of King George Ill in Bowling
Green, overlooking New York harbor
A statue of the king was pedestaled
there once, but the patriots pulled it
down to make bullets to be used
against the kings men.
Henry c. Quinby, a lawyer and
member of the st. Nicholas society, is
jeCt. He said:
The discussion of the plan for the
restoration of King Georges statue is
something | cannot go into now. 1t
would be premature. | might be vio-
lating the confidence of several other
gentlemen who are interested in the
matter. | cannot say at this time
whether any of the historical societies
have acted officially on the scheme.
In about two weeks | may be free to
talk of the plan"
Henry l.. Bogert, a lawyer, is sec.
rotary of the Holland society, whose
members revere the memory of Peter
Stuyvesant and other Dutch burghers
of New Amsterdam.
Personally" he said, Il shouldn't
suffer any great spasm of indig-
nation if they put King Georges
figure back on Bowling Green. But
many other members of the Holland
society would take up arms, | guess.
Patriotic societies like the Sons of The
Revolution and the Sons of the Ameri-
can Revolution might take the view
that statue once torn down because
of patriotic motives would have to he
torn down again. I'm sure | don't
know what the friendly sons of st.
Patrick might think of it."
1t was after the reading of the dec
laration Of independence in New York
July 9, 1916, that the revolutionists
decided that George had been pranc-
ing on his pedestal long enough.
Ropes were cast, there were enthusi.
astic whoops backed by strong pulls,
and over went George. The bulk of
the statue was loaded that night on a
sloop and taken to Norwalk, Conn.
Governor WOlcott received it. He and
a group of patriots, among whom were
his own three daughters, made 2.OSS
bullets out of George and his horse.

FOR NATION WOE PRIMARY
That's the Latest Scheme of Senator
Cummins of Iowa.

Des Moines, Aug. 25.-Asserting as
a reason the fact that the nominations
for president and vice president may
be and actually have been determined
by the vote Of delegates from states
which cast practically no vote for the
party ticket and never elect the party
electoral ticket, Senator Albert B..
Cummins declared his intention of in
Producing in the senate bill provid-
ing for the enactment of nationwide
primary law.
Senator Cummins points to the diff
tiCulty of making any change in the
method of procedure in national con
ventions relative to the basis of rep
resentation, and declares that if con.
gress does not act within reasonable
time upon his national primary bill,
he will propose a law regulating nH-
tional party conventions, making the
basis of representation the party vote
instead of population.
At the recent republican state con
vention plank was adopted in favor
of a national primary law and the re-
publicans of the state are committed
to it.

The school comprises numerous

known as the five civilized tribes in

officials at 100000 and the buildings

POVERTY THE ROCK OF LOVE.
A Magistrate Finds That Most Couples
Quarrel About Money.

New York, Aug. 25.-"Marry in
haste and repent in the police court.
Most of the couples who take their
troubles to court married too young.
What is the right age to marry?
Whenever man has judgment"
These are the views which Magis-
trate Herman expressed yesterday.
Today Magistrate Frederick B. House
gave utterance to his equally inter-
esting views on the subject.
Mr.. House created ladies day" in
the Harlem police court for the special
adjudication of the feminine wrangles
of the neighborhood.
"In my opinion it is not the youth
OF the couples who bring their troubles
to the police court that causes their
often turn out to be the happiest Nine
tenths of the husbands and wives that
appear before me, whether they are
l6 or so, quarrel about money.
Man is selfish, perhaps, and expects
the wife to dress herself and run the
the family income, or the woman is
eXtravagant, has no sense of wifely
responsibility, and keeps the house
hold constantly in debt. Once in a
while both are good, earnest young
people, and it takes only a word or two
from the magistrate to send them
home smiling and reconcied.
You can't lay down any hard and
fast rules as to the right age to marry.
A sense of responsibility is the most
essential quality of a good husband or
wife.
The young fellow who thinks that
it is his duty to make the girl he mar
ries happy and to provide for her to
the best of his ability, is old enough
to make a good husband, even if he
is no more than 81. And the girl who
feels that wifehood has obligations
as we'll as privileges, who learns to
run her home economically and feels
that any sacrifice is worth while for a
good husband, is the right sort of a
wife.
"A man of 40 is not old enough to
marry if he can't support wife, and
boy of q who has brains enough to
make an income which permits him to
propose to nice girl is not too young
For there's no question that poverty
is at the root of practically all the do
nestle troubles a magistrate is called
upon to settle. Money is about all
they quarrel over it seems to me-"

AN UGLY PRISON PLOT.
Plans Were Laid to Blow up the Pris.

Managua, Aug. 24.-Prior to the fall
of Managua, the secretary Of the pen.
itentiary voluntarily made an affidavit
before American Consul Olivares that
the walls of the penitentiary con-
tanned several hundred prisoners who
had been mined by one of the keepers.
Mr. Olivares Immediately called on
President MadriZ and requested that
an investigation of the affair be made
This Madriz refused to grant and Mr.
Olivares demanded the removal from
the prison of William H. Pittman Of
Boston, who was under arrest there
on an allegation that he had laid
mines at Bluefelds on behalf of the
revolutionists.
Madriz guaranteed the safety of
Pittman and promised to release him
the following morning, which was
done. The American and other con.
suls then demanded in the name of
humanity that the keeper who it was
alleged had mined the walls should be
dismissed from his position. This de-
mand was also granted and the keeper
thereupon confessed the plot and de.
clared that he intended to touch
button and explode mines when the
reyolutionists entered the city or upon
the downfall of Madriz.

mony was given before the congress
sional committee investigating Indian
affairs today that each of the 1900
Usage Indians is worth $4,000 which,
on per capita basis, constitutes them
the richest people in the world.
AS the property is held in restric.
ton by the government the Indians
have used great many lawyers, it
was stated. One attorney testified
that he represented thirtyfour claim
ants and demanded that the govern.
ment place them on the Usage basis,
thus giving them the right to $20.O
worth Of property. The wealth of
these claimants if they are successful
will amount to S460,00O
Another attorney testified that he
had been employed to oppose the
claims on the ground that if allowed
they would decrease the wealth of the
tribe. Attorneys fees were paid to
keep the Indians off the rolls and fees

A firm of attorneys declared they
were to get contingent fee of $4,000
