WORLD FAMED ARTIST HELD FUR MURDER IF LONG MISSING WIFE.
Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

ROME, Feb. Louis Ignatius
 Mssones, Peruvian painter and son
 ofz pr. Emanuel Mesones, former sec retary at the Peruvian legation in this city, is under arrest here on a charge off having murdered his wife. The case has excited keen interest in all ranks of Roman society.
 Mesones eloped in 1917 with a daugh- ter of Attalio Simonetti, protector of one of the best known art galleries in Rome and a commander in the Order of ths Crown in Italy. The parents of the girl objected to the marriage but after the elopement, recognized it. It Is asserted that Mesones neglected his wife and that in January, 1918, the latter disappeared, Mesones explaining she had gone to Peru. Later he is said to have anr0unced the ship in which she had sailed had sunk and that Signora Mesones had been drowned.
 This story was accepted by the wlfeS parents who made no investiga- tion and the matter remained in that status until recently when a night Watchman overheard a conversation between two men who said Mesones' wife had been murdered. They said, it is averred, that her body was -'palmed off that of one Martia Rotellini who, on January f, 1918, was found dead on the Tiber embankment. By her side was a revolver and in one VI Ter pochelS Was d leIIef addressed tos relatives in Udine. At that time Austrian forces occupied Udine and it was impossible to conduct an inquiry among her supposed relatives there.
 The Watchman went to the morgue, obtained pictures of the suicide and showed them to Signor Simonette, who recognized them as HkeneSSeS of his daughter. Investigation at hotels mentioned in the letter, found on the person of the suicide, showed a woma Ii by the name of RotelIini had actually stayed at them, and now the police are trying to trace this woman. It has been aScertained no passport was is sued to Signora Mesones, so that she | could not have sailed for Peru.
 When arrested, Mesones said he did ! not remember the name of the ship on 1 which his wife sailed and declared he | had not reported the vessel had been | lost at sea.

BENSON SPEAKS
AT SCOUT FEED
Admiral Tells Boys Self
Reliance Is First Of
American Traits.
100 ATTEND BANQUET
Celebrate 10th Anniver-
sary Of Founding Of
B. S. A.

America is today run mad with a
craze for indiscriminate philan-
thropy," declared Rear Admiral Will
lam c. Benson last night at the an
nual banquet of Scoutmasters of the
Boy Scouts.
II think no one can observe the
tendencies of the times without see-
ing that 1t is sapping the red blood
of the nation and that 1t Is dignifying
mendicancy. This tendency is even
more marked in Europe, where they
have become too well used to accept
ing our charity and then asking for
more
THE principles of the Boy Scout or
ganization are directly opposed to
these tendencies, and congratulate
you upon the way in which you en-
phasize self-rellance. This is the
dominant and finest of American
traits. which I observed in the con-
duct of our soldiers and sailors in
battle and in camp. Individual iniiia-
tive is the one thing that can solve
the present problems of the world,
and this America has most abund-
antly.
Did you ever read that poem by
Longfellow in which he forecasts the
day when all the world would look to
US and hang upon our decisions? That
day has now come, and with it comes
the greatest responsibilities We have
ever faced"
One hundred scoutmasters and
other scout officials attended the
banquet at the Church of the Epiph-
any. William Knowles Cooper,
secretary of the Y. NJ. C. A. and
president of the District Scouts
Council. was toastmaster.
DIR. III. w. Hunt. of New York,
member of the National Council OF
Boy Scouts. declared that the volun-
, teer scout worker deserved the high
est esteem of his community. you
are doing the biggest piece of con-
! structive work in the nation today"
said DR.. Hunt. You are acknowl-
edging the right of the boy to play.
to self-expression. and to- develop
ment under intelligent leadership.
James T. Lloyd. former Representa-
tive from Missouri. and Vice Presj.
