TWO BOYS SENT BACK
TO LAWRENCE TO-DAY
Local Committeeman Say They Are
Ready to Rectify Any Errors if
Any Were Made in Receiving
the Youngsters.

Antonio and Guido Colonni two little
Italian boys, who came with the party
of Lawrence youngsters Saturday after
noon, were sent back to their homes to-
day, accompanied by Antonio Broggi.
The action was taken in response to a
telegram received by the Italian COM
mittee this morning, saying that one
Antonio Volonni had been taken from
his home in Lawrence without the con-
sent of his father, Members Of the com
mittee met in consultation and decided
that one Of the brothers Coionni at pres
cnt in Barre was the one mentioned in
the telegram. To avoid any possible
error, beth OF the brothers We're there
fore prepared for the journey and left at
1925 over the Wells River road, accom-
panied by Mr.. Broggi.
In telling of the circumstances this
afternoon, one OF the committee members
asserted that all of the children brought
TO Barre by Messrs, Broggi and Rossi
Saturday left home with the full consent
of their parents. While admitting that
children whose parents had not been CON
suited might have boarded the car in
the confusion, he was at a loss to know
why both OF the Colonn brothers had
not been sent for instead of the one
which the telegram is interpreted to
mention.
7 The committeeman, interrogated by
The Times representative, said that all
due precaution had been previously TAX
en- to avoid errors, but that if such mis-
takes developed, the committee stood
ready to make amends. After decision
was reached this forenoon to send the
Colonni boys back to Lawrence, both
youngsters were given a dinner and an
ample lunch to serve them on the jour-
ney.

New Attitude BY Some Parents.

Lawrence, Mass, Feb. 20 Many OF
the families who allowed their children
to be taken away are now showing some
concern as to the wisdom of this course.
and are seeking advice from the police as
to what they shall do to have them re-
turned to them.
They are, it appears, now beginning to
realize that it is possible that through
confusion in the handling of the children
there is possibility of lot of trouble
arising, and that proper provisions have
not been made for their return when the
time comes for such action.
A Mrs. Houghton called at the police
station Sunday night. She brought with
her a postal card which she had received
from her son, Charles, who is 10, and
who is in New York, asking that she
have him brought home.
John Yolenna, aged III, and Tony No-
lenina, aged 6, whose parents said they
had been carried away on Saturday, and,
who Sunday night sought the aid of the
police in having them returned, We're To-
Gated in Barre, VT, and will, it is under
stood, be returned to Lawrence to-day.

LIKELY TO RESCIND CALL
Minnesota Republican Central Com
mittee Will Be Called Together
Very Soon.

Minneapolis, May pa call for
another meeting of the republican
state committee will be issued before
the end of the week. 1t is likely
that the committee will rescind the
call for the state convention fixed
for July 2, thus relieving county
committees of the duty of calling
caucuses and county conventions
which probably never will take place.
81 shall call meeting of the COM
mittee as soon as can get in
touch with few of the members
and learn their Wishes" said Chair
man E. E. Smith today. Some ac-
ton should be taken, and while |
do not know what the committee
will do, it seems to me that We will
have to rescind the call and wait
and see what action the legislature
takes on the primary question"
The state committee will not take
any action on the demand made by
the republican state convention last
week, for a preferential vote on
governor. This matter is taken care
of by the extra session CALL"

George Allison Heard Both Taft and
Roosevelt Speak; Some Real
"Mud-ThroWing
From Wednesdays Daily.

George Allison, physical director
of the Y. M. c. A, returned yester-
day from Dayton, Ohio, where he
spent a months vacation visiting
with his parents. Mr.. Allison did a
great deal of resting while away and
gained seven pounds in the month.
He also took in several of the ball
games there, among them, the game
between Cincinnati and the New
Yorks at the new park that was ded,
icated last Saturday. This park, he
said, was about the finest in the
world, built on an entirely new sys,
tenn.
When asked about the presidential
campaign in Ohio, he had some in
teresting information secured from
first hand. He heard both President
Taft and Colonel Roosevelt speak
while there and said that not a sim
gle issue, as far as he could learn,
was brought up in the Ohio cam
paign by these two opponents. 1t
was simply matter of mud throw
ing" at each other.

CLAIMS MONEY is HIS
Manager of Boomers Baseball Club
Refuses 10 Give Up the Twenty
Dollar Bill.
From Wednesdays Daily.

From wednesdays Ddiiy
Chief of Police Donahue called up
the sheriff at Redwood Falls last
night to see if the manager of the
Boston Boomers baseball team had
been held, in an attempt to have
the $40 returned to Paul Lehman,
who says that the manager claimed
it at the police station last Saturday
night after Lehman had dropped it,,
but the chief was informed that the
manager claimed the money was his
and would not give it up. When
County Attorney Schmitt was seen
on the matter, he entertained doubts
that proof could be established that
the 500 bill did not belong to the
manager, and that it belonged to
Lehman. However, it was thought
that if warrant was issued, the
manager might be willing to give up
the money, which, it is alleged, be-
longs to Lehman.

CHARGES THAT HEARST
BACKS TONNES VISIT
--- u
More Harmony Chunks
rs Among Democrats.
~ - "
WILSON'S FRIENDS ARE SORE
Issue Statement Which Bears On the
Call of Gentlemen From Gotham
and Massachusetts.

Here is a state of things: Charges
that Charles A Towne and George
Fred Williams were not sent to Min
nesota to boost Champ Clark, but
to further the personal interest OF
William Randolph Hearst, have ema-
mated from Wilson headquarters in
Minneapolis in statement by Ed.
ward A. Purdy, in charge of the Min
nesota headquarters for Wilson.
Minnesota, with Hennepin county,
will remain true to Woodrow Wilson
and progressive democracy, in spite
of the red fire and loud talk of the
Hearst emissaries, Messrs. Towne
and Williams, recently sent here by
their chief, not to help secure the
nomination and election of Clark as
president, but to deceive the people
of Minnesota with the Clark cloak in
order that they may be delivered to
Mr.. Hearst to advance his own per-
sonal ambitions.
More Harmony Chunks.
Minnesota democrats have ceased
to look at the candidates alone, but
with their unerring instinct for true
progressiveism, have sized up the
alignment of the opposing forces and
will support Woodrow Wilson be-
cause he stands for the people and
the progressive principles for which
they have been fighting.
PERSONALLY they know not either
candidate except by his record, but
they are intimate with the O'Connor
crowd of st. Paul and the Big Busi-
ness Harmon sympathizers of Min
neapolis, who, with the assistance of
Hearst and a small progressive tag
which they have tied to their candi-
date, are trying to band wagonize'
the people into forsaking the true
principles of democracy.

Hearst-ridden Illinois and California,
but never in Minnesota"

EDDY HOME To Be SOLD
Followers OF That Lady Will No Doubt
Bid in Properly. the Sale Is
On Tomorrow.
Especial to The Free Press. ]

Concord, N. H., May 22.-Because
of unpaid taxes, Pleasant View, the
Concord home of the late Mary
Baker G. Eddy, founder of the Chris
tian Science denomination, is SEIZED
uled to be sold under the hammer
tomorrow. For many years the lead
err of the Christian Science cult
lived at Pleasant View, and it was
there that most of her books were
written. 1t is believed that the fol.
lowers of Mrs. Eddy will bid in the
property and make it an interna'
tional Mecca for those of the de,
nomination.
Why It Is to Be sold.
The property was advertised for
sale to the highest bidder because
of the refusal of Henry M. Baker,
one of the executors of Mrs. Eddy's
estate, to pay the taxes. The levy
amounts to SAT-, and this sum was
considered by Mr.. Baker to be ex,
cessive.
Pleasant View is an estate of
several acres situated in Pleasant
street, some distance from the bust
ness section of the city. The house
is an old fashioned and ancient ap-
pearing wooden structure. When
Mrs. Eddy lived there were often
gatherings of thousands of her dis
ciples on the spacious grounds, and
Mrs. Eddy addressed the pilgrims
from a little balcony on the second
floor.
