COLONIAL DWELLING COVERS RELICS OF
 OLD INDIAN COLONY
Roxbury Man Excavating Un- der Old House, Finds 37
 Perfect Spear Heads.
Especial to the Farmer. )

Roxbury, April 16-Monday of this week Frank Lowitz. the present own CT of the ancient Thomas Tyrrell dwelling, in excavating under a small lean-to addition found under the foundation stone at one corner, 37 spear points of the most perfect fin ish and workmanship. These Indian spear points range in length from three to six inches and the flint of which they are fashioned does not seem to have lost it's sheen nor edge in the more than a century they have lain undisturbed.
 Evidently the old Puritan had un- knowingly placed the foundation stone of~ his domfcile over an Indian grave. What further search may bring to light remains to be seen, but this collection has stirred local an- tiquarians, and efforts will be made to explore thoroughly the grounds of what may prove an Indian grave yard. In the meantime informa- ton of this find of Indian relics has been forwarded to the headquarters of the State Historical and Archeo- logical societies as we'll as to the So- ciety of Colonial Danes, and the find CT is awaiting word from represents tives of these associations to whom he will turn them over.

MORGAN'S DESIRE
 TO REPAY MUSEUM
Offer Declined As Shown By
 Correspondence Now : Given GO the Public.

New York, April 16-The selling of the Chinese porcelains and the F'ragonard paintings by J. Pierpont Morgan. and the consequent disap- pointment of the public when these works of art@were removed from the Metropolitan Museum of Art where they had been upon loan e,x- hibition, occasioned a great deal of discussion in art circles, much of which has been called unjust both to Mir. Morgan and the museum.
 In consequence the museum makes public the correspondence which it has had with Mir. Morgan and in which it appears that MT. Morgan wished to pay for the expense of the installation of the Morgan collections in the museum and the reasons which the museum authorities give for not accepting the, offer.
 MT. Morgan to MT. Robinson.

 From our talk on the subject some time ago I am aware that the mu- scum has incurred considerable ex- pense in the installation of the Mor- gan loan, collections. shall be glad to be allowed to bear this expense and therefore beg that you will furnish me with a statement of the amount for that purpose.'' MT. Robfnson's Reply.

 SERVING AS PRIVATE IN ARMY

Jacques AnatoIe ThibauIt known to admiring readers the world over enty first milestone today. Although the is one of the oldest of the finn morta1s'' of the French Academy, the great poet and novelist insisted upon serving his country as a private in the army, and, after deteFmined insist ence, his offer was accepted by the war ministry. He was not sent to the fighting line, which was his ardent wish, but was assigned to editorial work on the Bulletin des Armees the daily government newspaper for the 1 troops in the field. In one of his ar the Rheims cathedral, the famous l novelist wrote:
 l '-The war will be fought without
 mercy, but we, soldiers fighting for the right will remain worthy of our cause. We will continue to the
 end to show that we are magnani-
 nous as well as victorious. When we have conquered the enemy's last fort ress and their last army we will pro
 claim that the people of France will
 again receive in friendship the beaten enemy

 socialist leader he wrote:

 lions. He was the very embodiment 1 of sweetness and kindness; of all the
 gifts with which nature had endowed l this superman, that of loving was 1 perhaps the one he used in the fullest
 measure. I have heard that mighty | voice, whose clear and terrible echoes l resounded through the world, be- come, in speaking to a friend, tender | and caressing.

OLD GRANGE CASE
NOW BEING TRIED

Former Grange Store, Ware, God
dard, Hopkins and Joy.

The suit in chancery brought by the De-
Witt Grocery Co. of Brattleboro and
Henry j. Perkins & Co. and Charles f.
Brown x Co. grocery firms of Springfield,
Mass, against the directors of the defunct
Grange store, which was begun yesterday
before Judge Frank L. Fish was in
hearing today and will not be finished be-
fore tomorrow at the earliest. The amount
Of the three suits, which are heard as one,
is in the neighborhood of 81 800.
The suit is brought under that section
OF the Vermont statutes which provides
that no corporation shall contract debts
exceeding in amount two-thirds Of the capi-
tai stock actually paid in, and a director
asserting to the creation OF an indebted
ness exceeding such amount shall be per-
sOnally liable for the excess.
1t is claimed by the orators that the
Grange Store corporation was practically
an insolyent concern at the time the debts
involved in the suit were contracted in
1911 and that, in consequence, the direc-
tors, who were Oscar r Ware. Walter +
Goddard, Carl S. Hopkins and Herman J.
JOY, are liable under the statute
Chase < Chase and ". r. Daley appear

SUBMARINES FAIL
TO HALT BIG LINERS
No Alarm Shown i'll Liverpool for the
Lusitania, Now OH Her Way from
New York.

LONDON, Feb. ;. - With the Lusi-
tauia now on her way to England from
New York, the question is being de-
batcd in shipping circles whether the
giant Cunarder is in any danger from
a German submarine lurking in the
Irish sea. Liverpool mercantile authori-
tics show no alarm. The Cunard com
pany says it sees no reason to make
any alteration in its program sailings
and Col. ColcauoH, one of the direc-
tors of the White Star line, in au in
tcrview published in The Manchester
Guardian, said:
1--WE have no reason to be seriously
afraid. and propose TO continue trade
as usual, as we have every confidence
the admiralty will disperse hostile craft
in Liverpool bay as they have done
elsewhere. 1t Is our intention, while
taking every preeaution. to maintain
our sailiugs as usual.
The Orduna : departure was DELAYED
one day. from Saturday to Sunday. The
Liverpool and London War Risk asso.
citation, through which the government
scheme of insurance is being worked
has the right to veto any saiIings whicl
it considers involve too much risk. Sil
/ -Nol man IlilI. Hldua8eE OF the aSSOtlu
i ton, stated that it had not been con
sidcred necessary to prohibit any sail
ings.
F" We don t consider. he said. tha
| the presence Of one or two German sub
marines in Liverpool bay involves am
unreasonable risk TO the safety of on
ships.
The general view in maritime circle
is that the big ships with high spec,
run comparatively little danger from
submarines. Meanwhile. it is interestin,
to note that the government war risI
rate has not been altered, though rate
for marine risks are generally double
since the U21 made her appearanc
in the Irish sea. They are still muc
lower than they were while Germa
commerce destroycrs were at large las
August.
