Into South Pacific

London, March 23.-The Evening
News vouches for the authenticity of
the statement that two women both
well known in London society, will
leave England next month to search

the Southern Pacific.
They have chartered 200-ton
yacht from a we'll known yachtsman
who will probably participate in the
search. Thetreasure is said to
amount to millions and to have been
buried by pirates. Records of the
affair 1t is added, are in the British
Museum.
By the terms Of the agreement the
government claims one-third of the
treasure.

JESSE PoMERoY LOOKS WELL
Gov Foss on Visit to Penitentiary,
Finds Prisoner in Health

Boston, March 21.--It was an
nounced at the governors office to-
day that Jesse Pomeroy did not ask
Gov. Foss to pardon him when the
governor made his annual trip OF
inspection to the state prison yester-
day. The governor talked with Pom
eroy for a few minutes.
According to the governor Pome-
roy looks to be in good health. He
is bit more gray than the ordinary
man Of his age, about 55, but other
wise seems normal. Gov Foss was
impressed by his good appearance.

Those Questions.

Below The Banner prints the COM
ment of some of the state papers on
the series of questions that the Man
chester Journal recently asked the
editor of The Banner to answer:
When one looks hastily over this
indictment, these charges of political
crimes and misdemeanors he stands
appalled, that one man could commit
so many without being exposed long
ago. But when one comes to inves-
tigate the details 1t all seems silly, if
not ridiculous. There must be times
when any and every man who main
tains his manhood, finds it impossi-
BILE to be bound with hoops of steel
by an organization, the local devel-
opment Of which is universally in
the hands of small men.
The idea conveyed by the charges
of the Journal Is that no man who
wishes to retain his standing in the
Republican party can be permitted
to criticise any act or any policy of
the party or any man in Office in the
party. This is to make the party the
subject of ridicule No man above
the capacity of a fence viewer would
stay in the party If he were thus
hedged about by the rules made by
the politicians for their own purpos-
es If the Republican party had no
Independent members in the past ii
would not be living. Who Is the law
yer-giyer Of the party at the present
moment? And TO whom shall we 90
to get the pure doctrine?
Speaker Howe has already made
an admirable and convincing reply to
the charges one by one, that ought to
satisfy any critic or any member OF
the party.-Burlington News.
The political status OF Frank e.
Howe OF Bennington, candidate for
the republican nomination for lieu
tenant governor, Is questioned by
the Manchester Journal. A case OF
peanut politics on the part OF the
Journal.-Bristol Herald.
Elsewhere on this page will be
found answers to the series OF ques-
tions the Manchester Journal recent
ly asked of the Hon. Frank +. Howe
of Bennington In his answers Mr.
Howe meets the demand made upon
him with commendabie clearness and
with apparent refutation OF any char
ges the questions asked of him imply.
That, as a candidate for lieutenant
governor, he has opposition in the
north parish OF his county, has been
an open secret for some time, and,
presumably, he was Quizzed by vir-
tue Of that opposition. From an out
side. point OF view ii would seem
that the questioning mischief ludi-
crously miscarried so far as putting
Mr.. Howe in hole is concerned
