perfect to be an inspiration to all who
honor Justice and worship liberty"
President Wilson did not sneak, but

After Breaking into Office
of Harrison Gran
ite Co.
NOTHING
OF ANY VALUE
Attempt to Open Supt. w.
A. Murray's Desk
Failed


Foreman John Stewart of the Harrison
Granite eompany's plant went to the
eompany's office off Blackwell street this
morning at Z o'clock and found traces of
a burglary believed to have been com.
mitted Saturday night. On the west side
OF the Office a large light Of glass had
indicated that the intruder had been sue
eessful in squeezing through the window.
Mr.. Stewart telephoned police headquar
ters and Officer Harry Gamble was sent
to the stoneshed. He conducted minute
examination of the surroundings. and
concluded that the break was made some
time Saturday night or early Sunday
morning. Tracks led from the Central
Vermont railroad to the office by cir
cuitous route between the shed and the
engine room. The light fall of snow
that came Sunday forenoon lay over the
tracks.
Meanwhile w. A. Murray, the com
pany's Barre superintendent, had arrived
at the office. With the policeman, he
examined the interior and together they
reached the conclusion that nothing of
value had been taken. Every shelf,
drawer and desk in the office was ran
sacked with the exception OF the super
intendent's desk. Papers, drawings and
blue prints were strewn about the room.
Apparently the visitor had made at once
for the safe, for it was open. The door
il always unlocked and nothing of any
consequence is ever deposited therein.
Failure to secure loot in the safe was
only one OF the disappointments in store
for the burglar. Superintendent Muir
rays desk bore the marks Of bush
ehiseI, and the would-be thief was evi
IDENTIFY unsuccessful in forcing an epen-
ing.
The police think the burglary was the
work OF amateurs. In the last year, sew
eral stoneshed offices have been burglar
lied. but thus far the losses have been
inconsequential. Money is rarely left in
any OF the manufacturers shed Offices
and the authorities are at loss to ex-
plain the motive actuating breaks of this
kind. On few occasions the burglars
plain purpose has been vandalism, as
valuable blue prints and drawings have
often been destroyed.

MISSING GIRL is FOUND.
Is Belief of Some Who Have Been Seek
ing Catherine Winters.

Huntsville, Ark, Feb. 23.-The cloud
of mystery overhanging the disappear
ance from Newcastle, Ind, nearly a year
ago of l0-year-old Catherine Winters, it
was believed, was partly lifted yesterday
by the admission of Edward Stuart, in
Jail here that the child found in his COM
pany near here Saturday is named Cath
crime Winters.
Sheriff Shuster yesterday was hurrying
with the girl over rough mountain roads
to Springfield, Ark, to meet relative
of DIR. A. w. Winters. father of the miss
ing girl. DIR. Winters himself, on his
way to Springfield Newcastle. missed a
train connection in st. Louis and did
not arrive.
Stuart told officers that the girl is his
daughter and that she was taken from
an orphan asylum by friend and given
to him. Stuart, it is said, claims he
was married to Mrs. Winters and that
she divorced him and welded the dem
tist, keeping the child, Catherine.
The girl yesterday repeated her story
that she was picked up from the street
and tossed into an automobile, which
conveyed her to the wagon in which she
was found with Stuart. She does not
know from what city she came.
Pictures printed in Fort Smith, Ark,
newspaper, which reached this mountain
hamlet several days old, led to the de-
tention of the man and the girl, travel
ing in a wagon with the child dressed as
a boy and her hair "bobbed."

RECOMMENDS YEAR IN COLLEGE
Rather Than Flying Trip to Washing
ton for Crop Prize Winners.

Washington, d. G., Feb. 23.--The de-
partment OF agriculture recommends
that in place of trip to Washington
the young prize winners of the corn,
canning and poultry, and other agricul-
tural clubs be given years course in
practical training at some agricultural
college, In case the young champions
academic training would not enable him
to enter the agricultural college of his
state, more elementary course in a
school where agriculture is taught or
a course in an agricultural high school,
are recommended.
The department considers that such
courses have considerably more lasting
value for prize winners and for the agri
culture of their sections than flying
trips to the capital The state and local
organizations which have beeh pay
ing for these trips have been sincerely
interested in developing a true appre-
citation of farming as business among
the boy and girl farmers. Some of
these have already considered this ques-
tion and have decided on the agricultural
course as the more desirable prize.
One of the first persons to raise the
question as to whether the practical
training or the more spectacular trip
was preferable, was Willie p. Brown, an
Arkansas corn club prize winner. Given
his choice of all the prizes offered by
the state, including the trip to Washing
ton he selected a scholarship giving him
a years tuition in an agricultural school.
This gave impetus to the idea in Ar
kansas and now the biggest annual prize
offered the corn club boys is a scholar
ship given by the bankers association.
The same association gives similar
scholarship to the girl champion Of the
canning clubs.
