Palmer's artistic instincts first
found expression in cameo-cutting for
jewelry, which was then very FASH
ionable. Unable to afford the canoes
which his wife longed for, the young
carpenter tried his hand at cameo
cutting, his first effort being a head
of his wife. This was SO successful
that his handiwork attracted much
favorable attention, and. while con-
tinuing to ply the hammer and the
saw, he spent all his leisure in cutting
canoes, This work injured his eye
sight. and, as a means of expression
for his artistic soul, Palmer attempted
sculpture. His first work in marble
was an ideal bust Of the infant Ceres,
which was modelled from one of his
own children. Exhibited at the Aca-
DENY of Design in New York, this
work rmediately gave Palmer a
reputation in the artistic world. He
was thirty-five years old when he be-
gan his career as a sculptor, having
removed to Albany, where he thence
forth resided. The bust of Ceres was
followed by two exquisite bas-reliefs
representing the morning and even
ing star. He produced In all more
than a hundred works in marble,
among the most famous being his
"Angel Of the Resurrection" his
white, Captive" at the Metropolitan
Museum in New York, and his statue
of Robert r. Livingston for the Capt.
toll at Washington. His work was al
most entirely Of original conception
as. when he became a sculptor, ne
had never been inside an art school
ar studied from the antique. He died
in Albany in 1904.

Especial to The Farmer.)


Hartford, April 2-Owners of thea
tres and moving picture houses
throughout the state received a shock
today when they learned that the
committee on public heath and safet~
had reported favorably in the Senate
a bill that bans selling tickets in ex-
cess, of the seating capacity Of the
houses where they are sold.
A fine of not more than $25 and a
jail sentence of not more than 80
days is provided for each offense.
The bill was introduced at the in
stance of number of clerks attached
to both houses Of the General AS
sembly, who, it is said, attended a
performance in n theatre in Hartford
and couldn't get seats after having
bought tickets
According to the terms of the bill,
no person conducting a moving pic
ture theatre or any place moving pic
lures or theatrical productions are
exhibited, may sell tickets in excess
of the number Of seats in the house.
Theatrical men appeared at the
hearings held recently and opposed the
measure. Few thought it would be
reporteld favora'bly. The action of the
committee today struck those inter-
ested like the proverbial bolt from the
blue.
An amendment has been prepared
by those opposed to the bill, providing
that no such sale may be made with
out notifying the purchaser Of the ex-

The report was accepted by the

MAILS TO U. S.
FROM GERMANY
Providence Journal Tells of
Delivery of Receipts for
Money.

Providence R. l., April 2-The
Providence Journal yesterday said:
Eat least one German submarine
has had direct or indirect communi-
cation with the shores of the United
States within the last 10 days. Within
that time some person in New York
has received and remailed thousands
of letters to persons all over the
United States, and has sent to the
Austrian embassy in Washington and
to the Office of the Austrian consul
general in New York and in Chicago
large quantities of official mail.
''This fact became known Saturday.
when The Journal received direct in
formation concerning the remailins,
from New York Of over 1000 postal
receipts from the Berlin and Vienna
postoff1ces, bearing the official stamp
of both Offices, and being acknowl-
parties in Germany and Austria Of
various sums of money transmitted by
wireless through Saville and Tucker
ton.
"a prominent banker in New York
with Austrian affiliations, is believed
to have been the person who tremailed
these receipts. and who also forward
ed to the Austrian embassy a large
package of official mail which reached
him either direct from a messenger
from submarine which touched at
some point in the neighborhood Of
New York, or which transferred mail
bags to private yacht within 20 or
80 miles of the coast.
The postal receipts mailed to pri-
vate individuals from New York city
bore the New York date stamps Of
March % and %.
about 500 of these receipts were
mailed in bulk to the office of the Aus
trian consul-general III Chicago and
were remailed from his Office to Ger
mans and Austrians in Illinois and
Wisconsin under date of March &c.
"It was openly stated in the office
Of Consul General Nuber in New York
city on Friday last that the packages
containing these thousands Of postal
receipts had reached this country by
submarine and that the submarine de-
livering these packages was still in
the western Atlantic waters
1T was also stated on Friday in
Consul General Nuber's presence, and
it is apparently the firm belief of
himself and his associates in office
that there are at least two of these
submarines at present close tn the
shores of the United States and that
they have established one base or the
coast of Cuba. not more than 20 rules
from Santiago, and the other on is

The Carpenter Who
Became a Sculptor

This is the centennial of the birth
Of Erastus Dow Palmer, who ranks
among the greatest and most original
Of American sculptors, although he
was entirely self-taught. Palmer was
born in Pompey, Onondaga county,
N. Y, on April 2, 1917, and in his
youth learned the trade of a carpen-
ter. He worked at this trade until
he was twenty mine years old, prin-
cipally in Utica, and at that period
none of his friends dreamed that he
was genius in the disguise of a car
