asked.

replied, "but I did so in order that

When the bigamy charge against
Bourasse was dismissed in the Tombs
court on November 10 last, Bourasses
attorney had entered on the record the
statement that his client had given
Mrs. Bourasse $4,000 in payment Of
any claims for damages she might
have.
Mr.: Manley said he had known moth
ing about this, and therefore could not
reconcile it with her story to him that
she had no money to engage counsel.

Ibid you consult Mr. Rand before

was asked.
He said he hadn't.
Asked whether he personally had ex-
amined the witnesses before the grand
jury, Mr.. Manley at first refused to
answer, on the ground that to do so
would be revealing grand jury secrets.
However, when he was told that it was
known that he was in the grand jury
room when the Bourasses were on the
stand he admitted he had done the
questioning.
But only in line Of my official

City's Population
Gains in Census
Taken by Mayor
lib Districts Recanvassed
Indicate Increase of ST.
$50 Over the Federal
Enumerators' Figures

Thc~Mayor's Committee on Census
yesterday received report from the
Police, Health and Educational de-
partments conducting the count Of
New York City's population to deter
mine whether the Federal census fig
ures are correct. There are 1922 emu
meration districts in Manhattan and
113 of these have been recanvassed by
the city authorities. The Federal CEN
sus for the districts is 207,385. The
city's census shows a gain of 1924
over the Federal figures.
This is an average gain Of 38 in each
of the 113 districts. If this gain was
maintained in all the districts Of Man
haitian the city figures would show
57,836 persons not enumerated by the
Federal authorities in this borough
The census committee, Of which DR..
Frank j. Monaghan, Acting Health
commissioner, is chairman, recon-
mended that the census be taken by
the city authorities, at least in Man
haitian, during October and November,
l92U, those months being selected be-
cause it is expected that all residents
Of the city will be at home at that
time.
DR.. Monaghan expressed the opinion
that the work of rechecking the census
for the whole city could be done at a
small expense. He said the recheck-
ing for the 113 districts cost about
$100. expended principally for station
cry. Census takers declared that there
was little doubt that the gain would
prove uniform, not only in Manhattan
but in the five boroughs, giving the
city a population increase of several
hundred thousand over the govern
ment's estimate

mo-" said Mr.. Manley.
Last October Mrs. Bourasses man
ager informed the District Attorneys
Office that she was unfit to carry out
contract with the Famous. Players
because Of uneasiness over ner nus
bands intentions. She feared nc was
about to fee the jurisdiction, OF the
New York courts, it was sald. MRS.
Bourasse then had pending, three &C
tions against her husband--one for
divorce. one for separation and
another for annulment.
Shortly afterward, records Of the
District Attorneys office show, Mrs
Bourasse wont before Assistant Dis
trct Attorney Klroe and charged her
husband with bigamy. She alleged
Dourasse married Mary M. Coyne in
1910 and was not divorced when he
married her (Miss Montrose) in 1915.
Bourasse was arrested on October 80.
He told Mr.. Kilroe that he had been
informed in 1918 that Mary Coyne had
either divorced him or had their mar
ter Of the woman in Yonkers, who de-
clared she had so Informed Bourasse
Meanwhile, Mr.. Kilroe heard of an
other alleged marriage Of Bourasse in
Canada in 1894. He wrote to the
woman, a school teacher in the Do
minion, and received an answer from
her brother It was to the effect that
his sisters husband had left her four
teen years before.
Mr.. Kilroe wrote again, asking if she
would come to New York to testify in
the bigamy case. In the Tombs court on
November is the Assistant District At
torney told Magistrate Mancuso he had
received no response to this invitation
and that it appeared as though he
would be unable to procure the neces-
sary witnesses.
Mrs. Bourasse was in court at the
time and is said to have declared she
did not wish to further prosecute. Bou-
rasse's attorney had read into the rec
ord beside the account of the $4,000
payment to Mrs. Bourasse, the fact that
she had had dismissed the three suits
she had started against her husband.
It was not until June 16 last, accord
ing to Mr.. Taley, that Mrs. Bourasse
evidenced a renewed desire for more
litigation and visited the Attorney
Generals office.

st. Winnifred and the Tree.

One story Of the origin of the green
tree as the Christmas tree among the
people of northern Europe is given in
a legend of ST. Winnifred.
1t is one of the many thousands of
those simple and beautiful beliefs that
have attached themselves to the mid
winter festival and which generally
pass now under the name of Christ
mas myths" 1t is related that St. Win
nifred, great Christian missionary,
began cutting down a SACRED oak"
which had been the object of worship
by the northern pagans whom he was
seeking to lead Alright. While he was
hewing down the huge tree it was blast
ed by sudden whirlwind Close be-
side it was young fir tree, which was
not harmed either by the whirlwind or
by the fall of the giant tree. Then ST.
Winnifred is reported to have spoken
as follows to the pagans:
"This little tree, young child of the
forest, shall be your holy tree tonight
1t is the wood of peace, for your homes
are built of it. 1t is the sign of an end
less life, for its leaves are always green.
See how it points toward heaven Let
this be called the tree of the Christ
Child. Gather about it; not in the wild
woods, but in your homes; there it will
shelter no deeds of blood, but loving
gifts and acts of kindness.
The fir tree, the common evergreen
of the northern regions, became the holy
tree of the converted pagans, and in its
honor or in memory of the thoughts it
stood for they decorated it with lights
and gifts at Christmas.

New Trace of Daniel Boone Found.

Traces of the perigrinations Of
Daniel Boone through the southern
section of West Virginia have been
coming to light during the past year or
two, and the latest is the finding of a
stone on the edge of Lincoln and Wayne
counties a few days ago, where the
name cd. Boone" is carved. The stone
is located at the mouth of an obscure
cave on Pond fork of Four Mile Creek.
in Lincoln county, not far from the
Wayne county line.
The forms of the letters of the name
are said to correspond identically with
the name of Boone which is found
carved on rocks in Kentucky which
have been POSITIVELY identified as the
work of the famous trapper and hun
ter. The name Is plainly cut, but
there is no date attached.
Across the river from Maiden, in Ka-
nawha county, the site still is pointed
out where a cabin stood until a few
days ago, in which Boone lived when
years ago, in which Boone lived wher
he was hunting in this section of the
country, which in those days was a
part of the Old Dominion.
He is known to have been on good
terms with the Indians living in the
Great Kanawha Valley at that time and
also with those who Inhabited the
shores Of the Ohio river at Point Pleas

Carried the Savior's Cross.

There IS a more or less general belief
,,,, Simon. who carried the cross for
rssrs was a negro. While there is
- direct evidence on this point, he was
rrobablv a white man and Jew. The
civ Of Cyrene, from which he came,
was in northern Africa, but it was
Greek city and the Jews were settled
there in large numbers. Cimon was a
rewish name and not likely to have
been horne by native African. ST.
Mark speaks of him as one Simon, a
cyrenian, the father of Alexander and
Rufus. both of whom were well-known
Iews and white. The curious thing
shout S.mon's carrying the cross on
which Iesus vas to be crucified was
that he had nothing to do with the
proceedings before Pontius Plate, and
was Arcei into the service of carrying
the cross Matthew, after describing
the trial and the surrender of Jesus to
to the crowd, says:
"Ani they came out, and they found
aman of Cyrene, Simon by name; hun
they compelled to bear His cross"
Mark SAYS And they compelled one
Simon, a Cyrenian, who passed by,
coming ou, of the country, the father
Of Alexander and Rufus, 10 bear His
cross
Luke says: And as they led Him
away, they aid hold on one Simon, a
Cyr-nian, coming out of the country,
and on him they laid the cross, that
he might bear it for Jesus"
These accounts indicate that the
crowd MT Simon by chance and that
he was pressed into the service of car
rying the cross.
