Ey The United Press.
TARRNTONN, y. y, June TO-
John d. Rockefeller and his trouble still
hung like a cloud over this town today.
Relieved OF the activities of free speech
ers for the present another woe of the
oil king engages the attention OF the
villagers. John ID. can't get his rock
and Beekman avenue, one of the towns
thoroughfares. is numbered.
All this grief comes because a 250-ton
stone which John d. intends TO use for
fountain ON mis- estate can't be taken
over the New York Central bridge on
Beekman avenue without danger OF
wrecking that structure. The railroad
won't allow il. John ID. won't agree TO
indemnify the town for any damage TO
other streets over which the stone
would have to be hauled. so there il
sticks
If no agreement is reached. the rock
will have to be taken on five-mile tour
through the Sleepy Hollow country.
That would mean big dent in John
DIS bank roll so both the situation and
the rock remain in statu quo.

LEWISTON man
MAY GO To CAL.
ON GRONDIN CASE,

Lewiston, Me. Feb. lit is possi-
BILE that Deputy sheriff Beaulieu of
Lewiston may be a witness in the trial
OF Joseph Grondn. formerly of this
city. who is charged in Los Angeles
calf, with the murder of his wife.
Announcement to that effect was
made in Los Angeles on Sunday.
Beaulieu. who is state detective of
Maine. as we'll as deputy sheriff in
Androscoggin county. was surprised
that the fact should be made public,
though he has been expecting a sum-
mons to go to the coast as a witness.
Soon after the death of Mrs. Gron-
din, in November. and the starting of
Investigations in Los Angeles, a de-
tective connected with the district at
torney's office of that city came to
Maine and Lewiston on n hunt for ev-
idence in the case. This officer en-
ployed Detective Beaulieu to assist him
In his work. AS "A result of Beaulieu's
efforts considerable amount of in
formation was secured The California
officer regarded this of great value.
This was what has made the Lewis
ton deputy expect to be called to tes-
tify at the trial.
When asked the nature of this in
formation Detective Beaulieu declined
to state what it was. But for the
fact that they have said | worked on
the case. would not have told of It,"
said he, until called there and upon
the witness stand. The nature of this
information Is such that ! do not feel
il would be proper to make it public.
If the district attorney of Los Ange-
les cares to make it known to the pub
lie that is another matter"
The Lewiston officer admitted that
when the Grondins lived in Lewiston
he was engaged by Grondin to shadow
Mrs. Grondin. He did this and made
a report to the husband.
Was that report satisfactory" ask
ed the reporter.
Il don't think So" answered Beau
lieu, though I don't know. Anyway,
there was nothing in it against the
woman. So far as I was able to learn
Mrs Grondin was first class, respec-
table woman

troversy Of this kind should surround
the appointment of an ambassador to
q country which cannot be expected to
be familiar with the real circumstances
as they are known at home. There
should be nothing personal to talk
about or explain there, as far as the
ambassador himself is concerned.
II beg, therefore, that. trusting me to
be guided by my own instinct in this mat

gratitude for the honor you have sought
to do me, and permit me with genuine
regret, but with no hesitation of judg-

crease, if that were possible. my admira-
ton for you and my confidence in your
eminent fitness for the mission which you
now decline.
II can but yield to your judgment in
the matter, because it is clear to me that
feeling as you do, whether you are fully
justified in that feeling or not, you would
not be comfortable or happy in the post.

The controversy over Mr.. Pindells
nomination grew out of publication of
what purported to be a letter from
Senator Lewis of Illinois to Mr. Pin
dell, urging the latter to accept the
post of ambassador to Russia for a
year and saying he would be relieved
of diplomatic responsibility for i'm
portant negotiations and could travel
freely in Europe. Senator Lewis
charged that the letter was a forgery,
and Secretary Bryan later, in a pub
cumstances were that Mr.. Pindell had
said he could only accept the post for
year because he did not feel that
he could be absent from his business
for any longer period. No mention, it
was said, was made of any diplomatic
task or duties.
A Senate committee investigated the
correspondence and recommended the
confirmation of Mr.. Pindell.
With the Russian am5assadorship
again open, there was gossip in official
circles about the likelihood of Charles
r. Crane of Chicago being named
Mr.. Crane was uppermost in the Pres
| ident's mind early last year for the
post but is understood to have de-
| cIined because of his business in this
country. There was an impression
current at the time that perhaps at
the end of year or two he might be
able to arrange his affairs.
Mr.. Crane took luncheon with the
President few days ago but 1t could
| not be learned whether the ambassa-
dorship was discussed while he was
in Washington.
