ALLEN EXPOSES PLOT
AGAINST GOVERNMENT
Attorney General, at Harvard, Tells Of
Conspiracy to Cripple Su.
preme Court.


Cambridge, Mass, June 24-Attor.
ney General j. Weston Allen, recip-
lent OF the honorary degree Of doctor
of laws at Harvard university's 2S4th
commencement exercises Thursday,
told the alumni this afternoon OF an
alleged plot by which three justices
OF the Massachusetts, Supreme court
were to have been indicted in an ef.
fort to incapacitate the court at a
time when II was to sit in judgement
on those who were charged with cor.
ruption."
Mr.. Allen was impersonal, but his
hearers interpreted his remarks as
concerning his recent successful eff
forts to remove Joseph c. Pelletier as
district attorney Of Suffolk county and
Nathan A. Tufts from the same office
IN Middlesex county. Both men were
removed after extended hearings be.
fore the Supreme couH.
The plan in part failed or was
abandoned" Mr. Allen said" but 1t
was sinister attempt to determine
the faith OF the p-o.'o In the in'cg IT,.

ed against a justice Of thu Sup,cm

not directed against them as indiyid

troy confidence in the prosecut on and
incapacitate the high court which was
to sit in judgment on those who were
charged with corruption.
Fooled in their purpose to prevent
trial, overwhelmed by the evidence
produced against them OF corruption
and extortion, silent before their ac
ousers, these men have weakly en-
deavored to claim bias on the part
OF the court. Stripped OF their office
they are bereft OF their power and
influence which was hunt upon pat
ronage and rested upon fear.
The wanton attack on the judiciary
has spent its force and the court. by
it, impartial and dispassionate decis
ions has grown in the confidence ant

Halifax, y. S. June24-The five
Americans who have steamed out of
New York harhor for an obscure isl.
and Off Nova Scotia" to search for
buried treasure are believed here to
be headed for Oak Island, in Malone
Bay, legendary hiding pace of 10000
900 pounds sterling
A dozen companies or more have
tried their luck at the search and
credulous fox of New England and
Nova Scotia have poured millions OF
dollars into the tills OF treasure-seek
ing expeditions. The promoters OF
some OF these companies waxed pros
porous, but no one ever heard OF a
dividend going to the stockholders.
Some say Capt, Kidd captured the
gold in the East Indies and hid II or
Oak Island. Others say that during
the war among the South American
countries one of the governments put
its national treasure on a ship that
escaped the enemy and came to Can
ada's coast, there to bury its cargo
of riches.

Cuckoo Lays Zoos Of Any Size.

For ingenious vlllalny, the cuckoo
holds the prize among birds, II lays
eggs In the nests of other birds; then,
as soon as the young cuckoos hatch,
1t lifts the other nestllngs on It's back
and throws them from the nest or robs
