NUNS HOME FROM EUROPE.

Two prominent members OF the
Visitation Order OF Sisters OF the Catho-
lie Church, Mother NJ. Gertrude, OF the
Visitation Mon astery in this city, and
Mother Margaret Mary, formerly of
Wilmington but now supervisor OF the
Visitation Monastery Of Toledo, Ohio,
arrived here Oh Saturday from visit to
France. They went TO Europe in April,
together with several other members OF
the religious order to attend a general
meeting of the heads of converts in
.Arrey, in The Province of Haute-
Savoie
The trip was undertaken at the solicita
ton of the superioress Of the Annecy
Convent, who wished TO consult all other
superioresses with regard TO some
changes in their rule which seemed 70
have become imperative owing 70 recent
revisions in canon laws. The event was
an unusual one the visitation being a
cloistered order and it's members leaving
their converts only upon the most ur-
aentl business. The recent conference
was the first of its kind to be held in
almost 200 years and was very success
! ful. One other was held shortly after
the establishment of the order in 1860.

Where is MT. Caskey's resignation? The mystery of who has in their pos session could not be fathomed today
 The fact that MT. Caskey made out his resignation as assistant principal Of the High school Saturday was con hrmed today by a member of the Board of Education. The resignation was then given to his attorney, Ed ward J. McManus, who as far as could be learned was to hand it in today To whom he resignation was to be turned over to could not be learned The fact that he has severed his con nection with the local High School was the only part of the report that could be verified
 Everett E. Cortright, assistant sII- perintendent of schools. who is acting supertntedent in the absence of Sam ue1 J. Slawson, stated that he had not received the resignation. lynn W. Wilson, chairman of the special com mittee appointed by the president of the Board of Education to investigate the connections of MT.

Collectors And Drivers
 Quit Jobs
Ash Men Buck At Re- quest Of Commission CT z c p p, Desiring More Care In Collec- ton Of Ashes.

Twenty-four drivers and ash collectors of the Sanitary Divi- sion of the Department of Health quit their jobs this morning when William L. Zepp, president of the Board of Health Commissioners, appear ed before them and requested that they take more care in col lecting the ashes of the city.
 According to a statement issued by ahe Department, constant complaints which show the indifference of the collection force, especially during the last few months pr. William H. in, that there had been frequent com plaints of the smashing of ash cans and the general careless handling of tho ashes. t+ Request Not Unusual.
 No unusual request was made of the men by MT. Zepp, 1t was said, and after they had quit they were all given opportunity to reconsider their la ction but persisted in their stand. While the question of wages did not enter into the talk, the men have been receiving from S21 to SPA a week. There has been no suggestion or cut As result of the wa1kout there were no collections of ashes to- day and the work of the division will ;be somewhat hampered for few days until the schedule is strengthened out A new crew will probably be put at morning that when the schedule is straigthened out he expects to be able 10 give the city a better ash collection service than it has ever~had-

ed the idea that there was an other man connected with the case and declared that rumors concerning the friendship of Estelle, and Count Edmuno Ruspoli, a relative of his first wife's, and with a handsome actor in recently stock company in this city were absolutely ridiculous and un- founded.
 The separation of the Godfreys is simply continuation of long series of petty actions in which the doting mill honaire husband was always on the receiving end.
 Just Playthiag.
 More proof that he was held more or less in the light of a plaything by his young wife can be seen from the following conversation which was overheard at the Brooklawn Country club one afternoon last summer after the couple had completed a round of golf. The conversations between the two was held in tones that were audi ble to the other members of the club who were on the porch.

Desperadoes
 To Go Free
Through Intervention of Mrs. Harding, Youthful Bandits Will Be Set At Liberty.

Washington, March 27- Three small boys, aged ', 8 and il, now serving five year pris- on terms for alleged burglary of a postoffice in West Vir- ginia will soon gain their free dom and be returned to their parents through the interest and intervention of Mrs. War ren C.. Harding, it was learned today.
 An ivestigation of their cases by the department of Justice which followed Mrs. Har1ing's intervention, disclosed an unusual set of circumstances which led to the Imprisonment of these
 outhfCl DeSperadOeS." Officials said today they never should have been sentenced not alone because of their tender years, but also because the ev- idence in their cases did not warrant conviction. They have already served about six months in the National Re- for1natory here.
 The lads are Andy BergoIa, aged seven. Frank Bosko, aged eight, and Teddy Bosko, aged II.

There the police gathered up the ten boys, and on which now said to have been purely circumsta ntfal evidence, were found guilty
 The attorneys generals investigation showed today that the three youngsters along with the seven other alleged
 'Desperadoes' as they were called by the district attorney were put the Third Degree and that police officers at Wierton wrung con- fessicns Of guilty from the boys. The hoys later denied their guilt, and so pleaded, but apparently were victims of police preudice in a locality where the steel workers are under the lash of police authority.
