LIBRARY EMPLOYES AND MANY FRIENDS
 MOURN MISS LEE
Well Known Assistant In Circulating Dept. Sue
 cumbs to Short Illness

Miss Anna, M. Lee, a member of a. prominent family of this city and for many years an assistant in the cir cuIating department of the Public Library died last evening at St. Vim cents hospital after a short illness from heart trouble. Miss Lee will be missed in the library where she has served the public kindly and readily for the past nine and one-half years.
 Her colleagues at the library were pained to learn of her death as she had always been a kindly co-work- CT.
 ''1iss Lee was very unseIfish, D said one of her co-workers this morn ing, "she was a devout catholic, a member of St. Augustine's church and was always very faithful to her belief. I believe that she denied her self many things to give to her church and to others whom she thought needed them more than her self g
 One instance was cited where a few weeks ago a young relative was in jured and some one, was needed to sit up all night with him. III as she was Miss Lee attended him for the night.
 While she has been absent from her post at the library only little more than a. week, Miss Lee has been an invalid for several years. It is thought that constant worry about a brother who is i'll in a. New York hospital hastened her death
 She was 56 years of age and was born in this city. the daughter of the late Bernard and Cece1ia Lee who lived for many years on Harra1 ave- nue. Her education was received in the public. schools and in the High school Of which she was an a1um1la. For many years, before taking her position in. the library. Miss Lee taught at the Grand street school.
 Hers is the third recent death in her family. Her cousin, Miss Sarah Lees who died a short time ago. was very dear to her, likewise Miss Mary Jane Lee sister of Miss Sarah Lee, ! whose death preceded her sisters.
 She is survived by one brother. James Lee, anephew, James Lee and a niece, Agnes Lee. Her body has been removed to the home of her sis ter-in-Iaw, Mrs. B. A. Lee Of 421 French St., whence the funeral will be held on Friday morning and later 1 from St. Augustine's church where Rev J. B. Nhi1l, P. R., will officiate The interment will be in St. Michael's l cemetery.

CHILD FOUND ON
 CATHEDRAL STEPS
 MAY BELONG HERE

Police search is being made in Bridgeport today in the hopes of finding the father and mother of a beautiful four year old child, found upon the steps of St. Patricl's Cathe- dral Fifth avenue and 50th street, New York city on the night of Sept. 12 last. This child from remarks made was first supposed to have been Kidnapped or taken by its parents from Philadelphia, but recent inquiry tends to show that it may have been a resident of Bridgeport and Captain of Detectives Robert D. Cameron of Philadelphia, in a. letter today to Su- perintendent of Police Eugene Birn- ingham asks that the closest inquiry be instituted here.
 When found curled up on the cathedral steps by Policeman Dine gan of the New York force the little fellow first said that his name was 'sJohn Doe" which makes the au- theritfes believe that he was aban- doned and was particularly instruct ed as to what he should say. Later the boy said his name was Auston McCleary which might also be taken for McLary. He said that his moth CTS name was Fillmore and that he had a sister two years older by the name of Gwendolyn and still another named Mary.
 He told how he had come to New York with his mother and sister but could not remember how he came up- on the steps of the church. In his home town he said he lived at 628 Broad street and that there was a lawn about the house. Later he said that there were a number of houses close together and that many wag- ons passed on the street.
 The child is of a superior type and when found was well dressed in a blue sailor suit, black velvet hat with red band. black stockings and high cut shoes and red rnittens upon its hands. He is about four years old, light curly hair, blue eyes, three feet three inches in height and weighs l 38 pounds.
 From the fact that he spoke o1 both Broad street and the number 6 not used in connection. with the number 628. it was at first supposed the child came from PhiIadelphia but all search there has proven un- l ayaiIing. It is believed by those au- thorities that Bridgeport may have been It's home and the police here are today Investigating. In the event 1 that it is not identified the boy vii l be given a home by Walter B. Walk CT a New York lawyer of 135 Broad way. All Information should be sen1 1 directly to police headquarters here

If you do any fun ny work with the noney or write numbers on it, and later hand the in formation over to the police you will be assassinated, or when you go to put it in that place and surround it with police, you will hardly be able to get back home. Even though one of US is taken there will be several thousand left or if you refuse to give, it will be easy for us to get you

With re- gards.
 Tor your death 2
 Sergt Bamforth said last night that the police to4k no action in the case because they could never identify the place where the money was to be left. Despite the lapse of time, they ser1- ously consider the possibility tha2s this murder may have grown out of re- newal of the old demand.
 The state police have been called into the case and three members. or that force, including a Lithuanian, were at work today. They made an extended search of the rectory and many of the parishioners and relatives of the dead man. The police now incline, it is understood, to the theory that a desire for revenge was respon- sibIe for the killing of the, priest and believe that the cord found around his neck was placed there before the shooting, preparatory to carrying out some threat.
 It was learned today that threaten ing letters have been received by Rev Lucyan Bojnowski, pastor of the Pol ish Catholic church of the Sacred Heart and the handwriting in them, according to the police, is very simi- lar to that in the letters sent to Father Zebrts.
 The funeral of Father zebris will be held Friday. The body will lie in state in the church from Thurs day afternoon until the time for the service. The funeral of Miss Gil- manaitis will be held tomorrow morn ing.

The Discovery of Ezekiel

President Wilson quotes scripture in
support of his program of preparedness
The President harkens to the warning o.
Ezekiel as recorded in Ezekiel 33d chap
ter and from the first to the sixth verses
inclusive. At first glance it would APP
pear that the President is keen student
of the Bible, but the fact of the matter is
that Col. Roosevelt saw Ezekiel first and
in a magazine articlelas August he com
mended the prophets warlike blast to
Congress and to the people generally.
Mr.. Roosevelt, therefore, can easily
claim priority of rights to Ezekiel as he
can claim with some justification the
original discovery of the Ten Command
ments and the River OF Doubt. However,
it is pleasant to see Democrat Presi-
dent and Republican ex-President, an
tagonistic by nature, agreeing on the
soundness of Ezekiel's doctrine of prepar-
edness and giving the neglected prophet
a somewhat belated vote of confidence.

To West Point

Harry Alexander Montgomery, only
son of Mr.. and Mrs. A. W. Alexander OF
Brattleboro, and graduate of Brattle.
boro high school in the class of 1915, re-
ceived notification last Wednesday from
Senator Carroll S. Page that he had been
named as the principal of the two sue
cessful candidates from Vermont to the
West Point Military Academy.
Montgomery was one of eleven candi-
dates from the State who took the ex-
amination at the University of Vermont
the last week of October and he passed
at the head of the class. Tue ermy sur
geon at Fort Ethan Allen, who made
the ply steal examination of the candi-
dates. complimented Montgomery on his
excellent physical condition. He will
take an entrance examination at West
Point next March, and if successful will
enter the academy next June.
The young man was born in New York
City and came to Brattleboro ten years
ago with his parents. He entered the
fourth grade and in the high school was
treasurer of his class and had the class
prophecy class day. He was awarded
the class scholarship prize given by the
University of Vermont, but did not make
use of it as he preferred to enter West
Point. Since last May he has been en-
ployed in the Vermont National Bank at
Brattleboro. .f.. ..,r-e1
Mr.. Montgomery gives all credit for his
ability to pass the mental examinations
to the instruction he received in the pub
lie schools of Brattleboro and especially
to the teachers of mathematics in the
high school. The announcement of his
appointment was made Wednesday in the
high school by Principal e. B. Smith and
was received with hearty applause.
