Morgan Does Queen Favor

1T was never intended by John Pier
pont Morgan that an incident in con-
nection with the historic ring belonging
to the late Duchess of Teck should leak
cilt as it has gone among the inner
circle of royalties friends. After the
late Duchess of Tech. the mother of
the present Queen, died, quantities of
her things were sold to collectors and
dealers In those days her majesty
was Duchess Of York and she and her
= Tiers. the Teck princes, did not
want them. Amongst the treasures
was ring which had been in the
family Tor 500 years. The late Mrs.
Allingham, wife of the distinguished
surgeon who was at that time on the
medical staff in the Duke of York's
household, was a special friend OF the

showed several of these beautiful
things to the late i. Pierpont Morgan,
who promptly purchased them. paying

present owner, his son, heard that the
Teck family We're very keen on having
back some of their one time belong
ings and forthwith had it intimated
to the Queen and her family that he
would he very pleased tc give them up.
I am tool the Queen is greatly de-
lighted at Mr. Morgan's action, and will
take an early OPP ortunity to thank him

HUMAN SKULL FOUND
IN RUTLAND GARRETT
Hair Was Also Found in Partition,
Causing Considerable Speculation
as to Events That May Have
Tianspired.

Rutland, Nov flames Fleming, No.
1872 State street, slept in an attic room,
and was annoyed at night by uneanny
sounds proceeding from the upper gar
ret, produced by cat with climbing pro-
clivities and some inert object. A few
days ago he decided to conduct an in
gcstigation. and his son, John, using a
ladder, climbed up, put his hand through
The aperture leading into the garret, and
found a human skull which had evident
ly mouldered there for years. The thing
was shown to DIR. c. b. Powers, who
counselled the family to report the mat
ter to the authorities. Chief of Police
Jesse Young and States Attorney B. l..
Stafford were consequently advised, and
are conducting an investigation.
While the authorities believe that
there is nothing sinister in the discovery,
they are going TO send the object to Bur
lington to be examined, and to ascertain
whether there has been any foul play, if
this can be ascertained.
The skull was evidently that of
fully grown person, but whether man or
woman it is impossible for the layman
to say. There is what at first looks
like depression on the side of the skull
which may have been produced by some
blunt instrument. Also, the authorities
found in the wall of the attic bedroom,
between the partitions, some short hair.
Needless to say the Flemings were hor-
ritied at the discovery. The skull may
rave reached its perch in any variety of

Elvard L. Moses Convicted
Of Fraudulent Use of
the Mails
IN PUSHING SALE
OF "OXYPATHOR"
Buffalo Man Takes Appeal
from the U. S. District
Court at Rutland

Rutland, Nov 7.-Elyard L. Moses of
Buffalo, n. Y, who was found guilty by
jury in the United States court here last
night OF using the mails for frauSulent
purposes in connection with the sale of
the "oxypathor," was sentenced this
morning to Is months in the federal
prison at Atlanta. Judge Martin re-
fused bail pending an appeal
The respondent, who is vice president
Iot the Oxypathor company of Buffalo,
A. T., was charged with violating the
federal statutes by mailing letters and
matters relating to the oxypathor,
metal device advertised to cure all kinds
OF disease by increasing the oxygen in
the blood. The claim of the government
is that the instrument is useless and a
fake. The case is OF particular interest
to Vermont because Harry j. Preston of
Burlington the Oxypathor company's
state agent, is under indictment similar
to that charged against Mr.. Moses.
Attorney Ray M. Stanley of Buffalo in
the opening argument for the respondent
expressed the belief that the expert wit
nesses for the government who testified
that the oxypathor was useless based
their OPINIONS on scientific theories;
that their testimony could not be given
the same weight as that of the scores of
actual users of the oxypathor, who tes-
titled as to its effectiveness in curing dis
ease.
Mr.. Stanley made the district attorney
the butt Of Joke when in explaining
that no new medical men would agree
as to the effectiveness of any drug or
remedy, he cited the fact that Alexander
Dunnett wore gunmetal ring such as is
said to be a rheumatism cure but which
The doctors generally scoff at
Walter s. Fenton of this city, in the
,losing argument for the defense, claimed
that the government did not give the
)Nypathor a fair trial, that they should
ave tested il on sick people and not re-
led on the opinions of chemists an
physicists who disseeted it.
In tho closing arguments for the pros
cution Mr.. Dunnett told the jury that
n the time covered by the evidence the
lxypathor company had sold $4,000 ma
hines for S590,00O. The cost Of the
machines TO the concern was 100000.
No wonder" he said, that they can
ave an expensive trial and the fact
