FUND FOR EDWARDS BUST.
Mayor of Boston Seeks Subscriptions to
Pay Sculptor for Rejected Work.

BOSTON, Oct. THE marble bust
of General Edwards by c. S. Paolo,
which stands at the present time in the
lounge room of the Boston City club, has
attained a new distinction since the art
commission rejected it.
The commission. of which Thomas
Allen is chairman. has not assigned any
particular reason for rejecting the bust.
so there is no knowing just what is the
matter with it. 1t may be that the
commission felt the city was too poor at
present to purchase such a bust and if
that WAS the reason, Mayor Curley has
at least partially solved the problem by
starting subscription fund-with
which to remunerate the sculptor. OF
course. even then it cannot be set up in
municipal building without the con
sent of the art commission.
As a work of art. the bust has been
approved by Gen. and Mrs Edwards and
by several prominent sculptOrs and
critics. 1t is slightly larger than life
and, in profile especially, is remark
able likeness of Gen. Edwards.

TROLLEY REST HOUSE
MIGHT BE MOVED
Mrs. Fuller Thinks it Obstructs View
More than Shrubs at Corner of
Canal and Pine Streets.
Editor of The Reformer

Editor of The Reformer:
Dear r:-I noticed in The Reformer
a suggestion made to the AIeddler that
the shrubs should be cut away on the
Fuller place, as it was called, at the
corner of Canal and Pine streets. / pre-
sumo the writer was not aware of the
fact that the soil of that corner is clay.
and that Gov. Fuller in grading the bank
on Pine street had the bank slip down
into Pine street twice. He then planted
trees and shrubs. and so far they have
held the bank by their roots. The trees
have been cut down in some eases and
the limbs cut off by the trolley company.
Only a few shrubs have been left.
The greatest obstruction to the view Is
the Trolley Rest House. which is on
the corner while the passengers have to
go some distance on Pine street TO enter
or leave the car. If that structure could
be moved further on Pine street the auto
mobile drivers would have clear view
up Canal and Maple streets.
Before my day there was brickyard
on the corner of Mrs. Sullivan's place.
1t was located there because clay was so
plentiful. Our village is so burdened
with taxes now that if the clay banks
are opened up the highway expenses Will
be increased.
1t is a pity that so many feel 1t a duty
to hurry around a corner when driving.
Yours very truly,
ABBY Il. FULLER.

Robert j. Bowker and Vincent At
kins. both of Hanover. n. H.. were ar
raigned in the Windham county court at
Newfane yesterday afternoon on an in
formation filed by States Attorney Har-
old f. Whitney charging them with pos
sessing intoxicating liquor illegally
Judge Harrie Il. Chase held them under
bonds of $500 each for a trial later in
the term and they were taken to the
county Jail by Sheriff Frank l.. Well
man. who later brought them to the
Brattleboro lookup as it seemed appar-
ent that they would be able to secure
bail ard be released.
They were arrested last Sunday in
the Rockingham hotel at Bellows Falls
on complaint of the hotel management
and some glasses were found in their
room. At hearing in the case of
Bowker the jury disagreed. States At
torney Whitney then decided to have the
cases transferred to Newfane. The Off
GERS claimed that the two young men
had been following the fairs and carni-
walls and that they were at the Valley
fair. One of them was taken into Gus
tody at White River Junction, but was
discharged for lack of evidence.

LEW VALLEY DISCOVERED.
Californian Mountain Climbers to Seek
Peak Barred Region.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. Mountain
climbers of the West have turned their
sealing abilities to the task of discover
ing what lies beyond a seemingly inn
penetrable wall of Siskiyou County 5
Hidden Valley. G.. W. Pellepreau. the
discoverer of the valley, said he had
glimpSed it from mountain peak with
the aid of shigh-powered binoculars. From
all reports he believed the valley had
never been entered.
Some men believe it abounds in game
and that mineral deposits are likely to
be found. Walls of sharp peaks sur
round the valley, standing like a barri-
cade against mans advance. Once over
the walls, Pellepreau predicts, scaling
ropes and ladders will be necessary to get
beyond the chasms. He estimates the
valley contains 800 acres.

f |NDS HIS WIFE
IN WH|TINGHAM
But Joseph Marines Feel
ing of Joy Changes
to DiSdain
WAS LIVING WITH
FELLOW COUNTRYMAN
Woman Left Family in New York City
Last May - Husband Comes Here and
Police Investigate-Case Turned Over
to States Attorney.

An alleged case of desertion that
brought sorrow to the heart of a faith
full husband who later changed his feel
ing of depression to one of antipathy,
was revealed yesterday when Chief-of-
Police George Wilson and Officer W. E.
Tyler made a visit to Whitingham at the
request of Joseph Marino, an Italian.
whose home is in New York city, and
found Mrs. Marino living contentedly
with one of Joe's countrymen.
For some time Mr.. and Mrs. Marino
had been living in tenement district in
New York city, when suddenly last May
Mrs. Marino left her home in the
metropolis with Joe's fellow country
man, without leaving any word for Joe.
The couple came to Whitingham, where
Mrs. Marines new companion secured a
job with the construction company
building the earth dam there. They
picked out Cosy little shack halfway
up the mountainside near the dam, where
for several months the couple have been
living together.
In some manner, news of the couples
whereabouts triekled back to Joe in
New York city, and yesterday he made
all haste to Brattleboro where he laid
the matter before Chief Wilson. In
company with the two local officers, Joe
meeting his lost wife After reaching
Whitingham the officers searched dill
gently and found the shack where the
couple were living and just as they ap-
preached the domicile they saw Mrs.
Marino coming out of an orchard on the
mountainside, carrying almost two bu-
shells of apples in a bag on her head.
Joe was all smiles as he saw his wife
approaching, but his facial expression
changed TO one of dismay and repugnance
as he obtained nearer view of her.
And Joe returned to Brattleboro, q sad
Constable Hal G. Reid of Jacksonville
was called. and he opined that the mat
ter was a case for the states attorney.
and as the other two officers joined in
this opinion the matter was turned over
to States Attorney Harold E. Whitney
for disposition The states attorney
plans to make an investigation.
When Mrs. AIarino left her husband
she also left two small children. A
week after she left. both children were
taken seriously i'll and the youngest is
still in a hospital in New York.
