BEAUTY OF WHEELER FOUNTAIN REVEALED
Memorial Will Be Put to Practi-
 cal Use Without Ceremony

| A force of workmen are busily en- gagged today tearing down the wooden shed at the junction of Park and
 Fairfield avenues and revealing to the view of the public the magnificent new Nathaniel Wheeler memorial fountain, one of the most beautiful
 things of it's kind in the state, which | has just been completed and will be l put into use this week. There have been no formal dedica- l tion exercises planned for and it Is
 not expected that there will be any, | the fountain being placed into comnnis-
 sion at once.
 The memorial is the work of Gutzon | BorgIum, the celebrated New York l sculptor whose home at present is in ! Stamford. It takes up the central portion of the square at the Junction of Park and Fairfield avenues and is 1 a monument which any city would be proud to possess
 1 The fountains lower base is triangu- l lar in shape, at each of the three cor ners there being a drinking trough for horses, the troughs being carved from the finest grade of dark Quincy granite.
 The floor or base of the fountain is of mosaic work and Quincy granite and the fountain proper is of red granite. There are bubble fountains in the shape of infants heads for peo-
 pie to drink from, and places are also
 provided for dogs and other small an inals.
 From the middle of the big central fountain rises a bronze statue of a water nymph holding aloft an cleo trio torch in one hand and holding a tiny water baby in the other. It is a masterpiece of the sculptor's art. For those who have not yet seen the beautiful memorial fountain a special trip to see it, will be well worth while

WHITE SLAYER PAYS PENALTY OF VENGEANCE Pedro MartinO Shot Down in New York Street Last
 Night An Echo of the CavaIieri Murder in Stratford in September
 Last
Special to The Farmer)

Especial to The Farmer) New York, April 17-As Pedro Mar tino of 25O East 117th street and his brother, Charles. were returning home l last night from their barber's shop a man standing in the basement area way of PAS East 117th street pointed a rifle at Pedro and fired three times, Pedro dropped, Charles took to his heels, and the stranger throwing his gun on the sidewalk, ran off.
 When Patro1man Reardan ran uI from his post at Second avenue, he found only Pedro lying dying on the sidewalk, but two small boys who from across the street, had pointed to a corner saloon as the retreat of his assailant. This place was searched in vain, while Pedro was taken to the hospital. ~
 Neighborhood gossip says that the shooting last evening was the sequel /to another affray in the same circle last week, when a man was killed for having insulted Pedro's sister.
 And thus Is another member of the white slave and black hand gang, who are well known in the shadows of Water street and South avenue record ed among the underworld characters here as having met the vengeance of his associates. Thwarting the will of the higher powers who decreed death to those in Bridgeport and New York who opposed certain actions of the gang after the killing of Jennie Cava- lieri in September Of last, he was marked.
 i It will be noticed that the death deal ing bullet was fired in the same man. Ter as that which killed Amadio Buo- homo, in a nearby street on the night ] of April 12 Amadio is a brother of Joseph Buonomo, now awaiting death l in Wethersfe1d prison for shooting the ] Cavalieri woman in Stratford.
 | The police are authority for the statement that Amadio and Pedro were fast friends and members of the same Italian band that made it's head quarters formerly in this city. Pedro was we'll known among the spaghetti houses of Water street, last being seen in this city shortly before the Cava- Iieri murder. He was sought in com on South avenue where his residence had been.
 Those in dose touch with the facts assert that c factional fight already resulting in the death of six partici- pants arose in the organization of white-slaver's whose activities have 1 extended as far west as Chicago, and that the insult to Pedro's sister, men, tioned in the dispatch is mythical. They contend that the recent killings ! in New York are due solely to treach- 1 cry during the trial of Joseph Buo- homo in this city. It is further ru- mored that there are other members 1 of the Italian colony here who are marked for death.

FAVORS M'MURRAY BILL
Measure Which Would Make Six Towns of Bridgeport Heard By
 Committee at Hartford.
(By Our Staff Corres.)

By Our Staff Corres.)
 Hartford, April 17.-Representativ Lynn w. Wilson of Bridgeport ap- peared yesterday before the commit tee on New Towns and Probate dis tricts to favor a bill presented by Representative J. H. McMurray of that city which would divide Bridge port into six towns each to have two representatives in the General Assem- bly,. MT. Wilson made an able argu- ment in support of the bill, claiming that Bridgeport is not now receiving the representation in the General As sembIy to which it's population en- titles 1t, having but two representa- lives for more than 100000 people and three senators, a total of five, whereas under the bill if adopted there would be 12 representatives and three senators.
 Corporation Counsel W. S. Pardee of New Haven also appeared in favor of the bill, and Representative J. H McMurray also argued in favor of its adoption. There was no appearance in opposition.

European Powers Oppose California
 Alien Land Bill

Washington. April 17-Proteets from European powers against one phase of the California alien land holding bill which would require stockholders in corporations owning land in the state either to be American citizens or to have declared their intention soon will take form in Washington Requests have been made by some of the diplomatic representatives of European powers to ascertain the pre- else nature of the legislation but so far all the state department has been able to do is furnish copies of a draft of the California, Senate bill, leav- differences as to its extent.
 There is much interest to know how the proposed legislation would effect corporations not initia11y organized for land holding but like railroads and other public utilities obliged from their nature to own real property for right of way, stations and terminal facilities wharves, etc. Because of the difficulties of administration of such an act as that passed by the California assembly, yesterday, the officials here, while convinced that some anti-alien land owning act is bound to become a law, incline to the belief that it would take the form of the Senate bill which makes no dis crimination between races. In such case there is reason to believe the Japanese government will make no

 AMERICANS AFTER DOZEN
 YEARS IN MEXICAN PRISONS

Rochester, April 17-After 12 years confinement in Mexican prisons, Les lie E.

Garrison, the life insurance company detective who brought about the conviction of HuIburt and his companions.
 All the life insurance companies of the world have taken an interest in the case Hulburt was confined in San Juan Ulloa prison when Felix Diaz was sent there and the latter became interested in the lawyer. With Diaz's attainment of power, he took up the pardon of the men.

SUSPENDED FOR YEAR
Judge Gardiner Greene Imposes Pen- a1ty Upon Attorney Joseph A.
 MerVa

Suspension for one year from the privilege of practicfng law Is the pen atty handed out by Judge Gardiner Greene in the case of Attorney Joseph A. Merva, accused of irregular prac- tice by the Grievance committee of the Fairfield County Bar association. This is in accordance with the recom- mendation of States Attorney Stiles JUdson, who believed that suspen- sion would be sufficient punishment in the case, which seems to have been one largely of neglect. As it is the punishment is a pretty severe one. Judge Greene says that Merva was guilty of misleading his client, a vio- lation of the ethics and the oath of his profession. Attorney Merva's de- fense was that an error had been made in the filing of papers in the case in question and that he did not intend to rnislead his client

WANTS SCHOOLS
AS POLLING PLACES
E. Orange Clerk Makes Offer
to Education Board-Seeks
Booth in Church.

City Clerk Lincoln E. Rowley, of
East Orange, who believes school
houses should be utilized for purposes
other than educating children, is go
ing to try and have the Board of
Education consent to have polling
booths established in five of the build
ings at future elections. Mr.. Rowley
has filed application with the board
for use of the buildings at the Sep
TENDER primaries. He has also asked
the pastor of a church in the city for
permission to have a polling place in
the edifice.
MIR. Rowley is confident the Board
of Education will agree with him that
the buildings are an excellent place
for voting purposes, and he has re-
ceived assurances from a number OF
members of the body that his request
will be given careful consideration.
He has asked to have the polls
in the Nassau, Elmwood, Ashland,
Stockton and Columbian Schools.
Mr.. Rowley will not announce the
name of the church where he wants
to have polling place until his
request is considered by the pastor.
Heretofore the city has paid $50
for use of stores and barber shops
where the polls were located, and
Mr.. Rowley says this sum Will be
given to the Board of Education Ii
the body agrees to have the booths
in the buildings.
The principal reason why the city
clerk wants the polls established in
the schools is SO that all the voters
will have opportunity to inspect the
interiors of the structures each year.
He believes the men would not visit
the buildings unless there was some
special attraction. 1t is probable the
Board of Education will announce
where the buildings are to be used
at the elections before 1t is time for
Mr.. Rowley to arrange for the rent
of the places where the votes are
usually cast.

POLICE ON HAND, FIRM
DENIES THERE is STRIKE

Although the Harrison police were
called to the plant of Chem and
Company. Passaic and Reynolds ave-
nues, Harrison, today to prevent any
possible disorder on the part of en-
ployees who are said to have gone
on strike, officials of the company
at noon today denied there was any
strike or trouble of any kind. 1t
was admitted, however, the police
had been there this morning.
According to the story told by en-
ployees of the plant to the police,
one man was discharged today. Eel
low employees, it is said, insisted
on his reinstatement. When their
demand was denied the men are
said to have quit. There was a
strike at the plant only a few days
ago following an accident to one of
the employees. who lost four fin-
gers in a machine. This strike was
of short duration.
