stories is that recently masons and car
peDters were called in to remove a
fungous growth from the wall Of the gun
room, which Is situated in the oldest
portion OF the Preston tower, from which
legend says a former reigning lady re-
PEELED an invader with deluge of molten
lead.
When the wall was demolished human
skeleton was found among the rubbIe.
1t was inferred in the village church
yard. and ever since it is said, it has
manifested its displeasure by means.
-groans and mysterious knockings in
every part of the castle.
maid servant named Massie declares
that she saw the ghost of the famous
Green Lady" walk across the floor of
her bedroom and disappear into the wall
beyond. Mrs. Massie stoutly repudiates
any suggestion as TO a possible mistake.
e'I saw the lady walk across the floor"
she said
Other servants, though not seeing the
apparttion. corroborate the tales of noe
turnal noises and strange meanings.
Miss Kellas. the housekeeper, told a
story of hearing a remarkable disturb
ance in the chartroom and ballroom. She

could account for it,
who appeared in olden days Immediately
prior to any pending evil which visited
the owners of the estate. Fyvie castle
stands in a remote district of Aberdeen
shire, on the north line to Macduff, and
tates back to the fifteenth century.

GOODRICH PLAN
is THROTTLING
FOR ASSEMBLY
Seeks Legislative Action to
Remedy Party Mistakes
for Campaign.
OPPOSITION IS STRONG

An attempt will be made by Gov,
Goodrich to throttle the second spe-
cisl session of the legislature to be
called some time next month, by at
tempting to bring about an agree
ment similar to the one which gov
erned the previous special session,
limiting consideration to measures
satisfactory to the governor and his
friends, plans announced today re-
veal.

that such action is clearly unconsti
tutional and that the assembly has
the right to consider any measures
pertaining to the public welfare.
Thn session, according to plans an
nounced by the governor will be purely
for the good OF the party at which
the mistakes Of the present administra-
tion VIII be considered, and II possible
corrected in order that the party may
go before the voters the coming fall
with the statement, that, although the
administration had made mistakes, u
had done its best 10 correct them.
Just what the session shall consider
and not consider will be determined at
a meeting Of the republican state com
mittee. the candidates for governor and
members Of the state administration. The
action of the governor IN inviting candl-
dateg' to attend the conference IS some
thing OF a surprise. for not all the caRdi-
ha

lation Of the constitution and an agree
ment on the part Of tho legislators q
violation OF their oaths OF Office. He Is
expected to speak right out ia meeting

what he thinks OF the executive depart
ment OF the state government debating
to the legislative.
Warren 4. McCray, another candidate
for the republican nomination for gov
ernor, has let Il be known that he Il
opposed to such methods, but be has mol

While en- route back to Iron River.
Grove declared he ans his assistants
were stopped by NJ. S. McDonough pros
ecuting attorney of Iron county; Police
Chief S. Fl Seniba, Police Capt Claud
Brown and Deputy Sheriff Jesse Allen
OF Iron River. Grove said he presented
his credentials as a federal agent TO Nc
Donough.
That's not worth the paper it's writ
ten on" stated McDonough, according
to Grove.

sleight. carrying the wine barrels. to
turn around, according TO Grove, while

Maj Dalrymple was In full charge and
could take whatever steps he thought
necessary to see that the law was en-
