Jail awaiting trial. but it seems that
on Dec. % he obtained his freedom
by a noI1e of the case on the pay
hix1 being changed to that OF taking
a team without permission. This
substitution may have been a per-
Missile legal fiction although as a.
matter of fact the team was hired
to him by the owner and it's criminal
facts as brought out before the trial
Justice are indisputaibIe and were not
denied by the defendant. Upon hir-
Tag the team he drove with it to>Dan-
bury and there enlisted the services
of oscar West to aid him in selling

owned the horse and wished to sell it
SO as to save the expense of keeping
it through the wfnder. AS an out
come of the dickerfng Kealy went

Kealy tried to sell the second horse

 Art Treasures Damaged.
 Elsewhere in the path of the bat ting armies irretrievable damage has been done to priceless art treasures. It is now realized that much of this might have been avoided if the authorities had hidden the various objects.
 There is another Descent From the Cross" by Rubens, at Arras, and this
 is said to have been destroyed by shell fire Another work that suffered there was Van Dycks Christ In the Tomb.'
 Many art works in the cathedral at Rheims were damaged or destroyed Among the pictures thought to have been lost are Nativity by Tintoretto; Christ Appearing to Mary Mazda len," by Titan; Christ and Angels by

ance. The real loss Is much less inn portant than would appear Describing the destruction of the art treasures of Louvain, Professor E. Gil- son of the University of Louvain, writes:
 Tn the center stand the walls of St. Peter, now a grinning silhouette roof and belfry gone, the walls blackened and caved in. In front stands the Hotel de Vile, dominating everything and almost intact. Further on the re- mains of Les Halles entirely destroyed. except for the arcade of big pillars of the Salle des Pas Perdus. The library and it's treasures are entirely gone.
 Entering St. Peters by the Rue de Malines I find what was the big bell among the ruins. The vaults are for the most part caved in, there Is con- tinuous stream of stones falling, that we could not enter 1t without danger. Everything is burned. If the paint ings by Bouts and Van der Weyden had not been saved in time they must have perished. The jubilee in the choir is standing

constructed for this purpose and car ried away to the military headquarters, where they disappeared behind closed doors. "The Descent From the Cross" is the chief of the series of colossal works by Rubens that decorated the cathedral. This work. with it's won derful representation of human figures, it's pathos and it's tragedy, is by many considered the greatest picture ever painted.
 thrill went through the world at the thought that this great picture might be destroyed by bombs dropped from an aeroplane or shot to pieces by bullets or even taken away from the country where it had been since its au- thors lifetime.
 It Is now known how The Descent From the Cross" and the other pictures were safeguarded. Inside the military headquarters they were removed from their frames and rolled up at the same time being carefully preserved from injury and cracking by quantities of burlap and soft packing. Each roll was then inserted in a heavy water tight metal container and sealed up. Dropped Into River.
 The rolls were then dropped from a

out was shown Saturday morning, Dec. 5 last, when an order of mobilization reached Troop Eighteen of the East Orange (N. J.) social settlement, with the information that the scouts were to turn out to search for Mrs. Walter Breck of Orange, who had disappeared at 8 o'clock on the morning before, be- ing last seen at the Delaware, Lacka wanna and Western railroad depot at Orange. Within half an hour from the time that the order of mobilization was in the hands of Scoutmaster William r. Burrell and Assistant Scoutmaster Mercer Burrell the boys were en route to the scene of the search. Other troops joined them. On the following Saturday a more extended search for Mrs Breck was made through the for est of the Eagle Rock reservation, own ed by the county of Essex, and terri tory two miles long and over a mile wide, full of tangled clumps of bushes. briars, thickets of junipers and scrub oaks as well as dense forests was searched so thoroughly that the police estimated that not a foot of the reser- vation but must have fallen under the eye of one of the scouts and perhaps two.
 In the last few years the boy scouts of northern New Jersey Connecticut, Maine. Illinois and of many other parts ,of the country have been called upon to search townships and larger sections for lost persons and in some instances contributed materially to the clearing up of mysteries. In the case of the search for Mrs. Breck on Dec. 12 the typical attitude of the scout movement was shown by a vote put to them when they were assembled before the search began on the heights of Eagle Rock outlook at MontClair.
 Scout Commissioner Gray addressed the boys and read a description of the person for whom they were to search, how she was dressed when she disap- pearcd and said: No scout is to risk life in this search. If you come to a cliff in the forest you are to go around it and not up over it's front if 1t looks dangerous, but do not leave any space of it unsearched. It is contrary to the ethics of the scout movement to accept a dollar of any reward that may have been offered. We are making this search for the good of the general public"
 These boys are not training to be- come soldiers, and 1t is not the pur- pose of the organization for which such men as Ernest Thompson Seton and Daniel Beard have stood sponsors to fit boys to augment the United States army when they become men. It is rather to train them in a knowledge of wOOdCraft, of the forests and streams how to give first aid to the wounded and how to take care of themselves in the wilderness. It is to give them strong, hardy bodies, a love for all wild things and to stand with endurance arv labor or journey they may be called upon to perform.

 It is estimated that the art treasures of Antwerp are worth $1,000,000,o00. It need hardly be added that to preserve them for unhappy and ruined Belgium is really great national service.
 Photographs have already been pub lished showing the Belgians removing Rubens' Descent From the Cross' and other famous masterpieces from the cathedral of Antwerp, but it was not known what had been done with them.

~ONGRE CLAUDE KITCHEN of North Carolina, N A who, it is agreed, will be house leader succeeding Os- car Underwood, who goes to the United States senate, has been in congress from North Carolina since the Fifty seventh congress. His ability on the ways and means committee was rec ognized last session, and this by Rep resentative Underwood, as Kitchins speeches in debate were of exceptional merit. His friends point out that he stands with Underwood on practically all questions of policy.
 Claude KitChin started out with the purpose of devoting himself to his chosen profession, the law, and had held no office until elected to congress.
 His district was formerly Republic an and was represented several terms by the lone negro congressman, George White. The latter was not renomi- mated, and MT. Kitchin was put in the contest against J. J. Martin a Repub- lican, and was elected by large ma jority. Claude Kitchin is but thirty five years of age and his brother about three years older. He first attracted public attention in his district and state through his prominent connection with what was known as the red shirt movement. That was a combi- nation of white voters in North Caro- lima for the avowed purpose of elmi- mating the negro from office and poll tics if possible. Outside of its sensa- tional and unique character it's meth ods were peaceful, but many regarded 1t as warning and threat that stern measures would be resorted to if nec- essary to sustain the dominancy of the white man.
 Claude Kitchin made the principal address at the first great gathering of the red shirts" in 1898. Thousands of white people gathered in a great con vocation whose prevailing color was red They came riding bay horses or horses covered with red cloths and in wagons and carriages painted a bril- liant red. They wore red shirts, red l trousers and hats. The ladies wore red | hats and red ribbons and altogether the | gathering was of a very sangunary | hue. Young Kitchin was the orator of the day, and his fervid speech was the great feature of the meeting. It was undoubtedly that speech which attract ed attention to him and later resulted in his nomination and election to con- gress.
 Three of the Kitchfns have served in the house father and two sons. Will liam w. and Claude KitChin, brothers, served at the same time William was also elected governor of North Caro- lima.
 The congressional drcmios came by their taste for statesm8nship and poli- ties fairly aud honestly. Their father. ,
