F0SS invites
BIRD TO enter
FOR GOVERNOR
ON PROHIBITION

Boston, April 25.-Former Governor
Eugene n. Foss today addressed an
open letter to Charles Sumner Bird,
unsuccessful candidate for Governor
on the Progressive ticket in 1913, ask
ing him to become candidate this
year for the Republican nomination for
Governor with Prohibition as his chief
ISSUE Prohibition was one of the
planks of the Progressive platform last
fall.
The letter indicates the intention of
Mr.. Foss to return to the Republican
ranks which he left in 1910 to be elect
ed as congressman from the 14th dis
trict. He was later elected Governor
three times on the Democratic ticket.
Last week it was announced in polit-
ical circles that he might seek the Re-
publican nomination for Governor this
year on a Prohibition platform.
In his letter to Mr.. Bird, Mr.. Foss
says that the Democratic party has
produced "a tariff careless and unsci-
entific in details, unsound in it's essen
tial principles and subversive of bus
mess confidence and prosperity"
He adds that he is mo more recon-
ciled than ever to the "old stand pat
Republican organization
Should Mr.. Bird seek the Republican
nomination, Mr.. Foss would pledge his
support, the letter states.

ment house district.
Girl Saves Payroll
Scores of workers, including women
beekkeepers and stenographers, fled from
the factory. One young woman and two
men were rescued from the roof by a
fireman who lived nearby, and another
girl saved her employers payroll of sew
eral hundred dollars. It was the most
dangerous fire Boston has had in seevral
years, and the bulk Of the city's fine ap-
paratus and fighting force WAS summon
ed to prevent the great confiagration
that seemed impending Mayor Curley
was nearby when live trolley wires fell
to the street.
Five alarms were sounded in rapid
succession, and later a sixth alarm was
ordered when burning embers had been
carried by the wind to the roofs Of build
ings in Second street, some distance
away.
The old factory building. formerly a
suspender factory and glass works. but
for some years occupied by various man
ufacturing concerns was burned to the
ground. Two stores on the opposite cor

Chicago, April pa letter from Mrs.
John B. McManus, dated at Mexico City
March 10, three days after her husband
was murdered by Zapata soldiers, reach
ed Mrs. McManus sister-in-law, Miss
Elizabeth McManus, here Saturday.
Much Of the letter is devoted to details
already made public, but it further says:
I'VE all begged John either to come
with US or to move the stock closer to
the city, but he scoffed at their idea, say
ing that he was capable OF protecting
himself I am just beginning to realize
the hell he had lived through to do it.
Because ] was SO worried about his
safety he had not told me Of the numer-
GUS times he was shot at and searched.
1t Is hard to imagine case of greater
bravery and courage, or more wanton
murder than HIS"
Mrs. McManus tried to warn her hus-
band by telephone Of the movements Of
the soldiers. but the wires were cut be-
tween the city and McManus' dairy
ranch. Next word was received that the
ranch was being attacked Mrs. Nc
Manus went with others to the ranch
house.

THE LECTURE SUNDAY
AT UNITARIAN CHURCH

"a beautiful story. beautifully told
can we'll be said of the lecture given by
Rev. Frank L. Phalen, Sunday after
noon at the Unitarian church as the
last Of the series Of four during the
Sundays of April.
Abelard and Heloise, romance and
love story that stands out quite dis
tinct in all the great love affairs that
tine world has ever read about was the
theme. and very fitting one. too. for
series that has been an intellectual in
spiration to the people of Waterville.
1t was rather a study in philos-
ophy a,v psychology with love
as the idea and starting point of
ALL human activity. Mr.. Phalen spent
his introduction in defining love, and
showing how it's influence greatly alters
the course Of ones life and marks out
pathway that is one of the most happy
Of earthly existences. Marriage was a
very important element in lies makeup
that MIR. Phalen did not overlook. He
dwelt briefly on this. and passed to the
topic Of Abelard, one If the world s
greatest intellects and noblest teachers.
and to Haloise, one Of the most lovely
aftectiunate and unique women. They
have been enshrined for hundreds Of
years as types and symbols Of human
affection by poets the world over. Abe
lard lived in Paris in Ills, and was con-
sidered one Of the makers Of the city,
where he had come from Brittany of an
old family vita, great self-relience. He
early chose the life OF wandering
scholar. Heloise lived in Paris and met
Abelard as one of mis- pupils. then ripen-
ed one of the greatest of all love affairs
