GIVE STATUES ENG. FRIENDS
 TO AMERICA

"A0HlNHlOIN, OCL. lS.-Ine sta tue of Edmund Burke, member of the British parliament and staunch friend of the American Colonists, was pre- sented to the City of Washington and to the nation last week by the Sul. grave Institute of England. It is of bronze in heroic size, weighing 2500 pounds, and Is a reproduction of the statue erected in memory of the be. loved Irishman, at Bristol, England It depicts Burke in an impassioned at titude in the midst of a speech
 The site, on Massachusetts Avenue between Eleventh and Twelfth streets is on a triangular park in the midst of the residential section, overlooking several historic points, and facing to, ward the Carnegie Public Library.
 The Sulgrave Institute is a body composed of Americans, Englishmen and Canadians, whose purpose is the promotion of friendly relations among those countries It is the owner of Sulgrave manor, whence it gains the name. the birthplace of George Wash ington's father, and long the home of the English branch of that family.
 The impressive dedication exercis as were attended by group of prominent English members of the society, who journeyed to this country to present to American memorials to three English, men, famous in the history of that country and the United States. The three statues were given to Ameri cans by the society and erected at their expense, only the sites being given. President Harding was asked to receive the Burke statue in behalf of the nation. The other two me morials consisted of busts of William Pitt. Earl of Chatham during Amer ican Revolutionary Days, and of Wis count Bryce, long Ambassador o1 Great Britain in Washington.
 1 The Pitt bust was presented by the society to the city of Pittsburg, Penn sylvana, named in honor of the Eng lishman who stood high in the hearts of the early settlers of this country for his untiring work in the British parliament to ease the tax burdens O. his colonists and to grant then stronger powers of local self govern ment Pittston, Massachusetts, alst was named in his memory.
 Viscount Bryce, historian, economis and statesman, as well as diplomatist was the author of number of vol umes on economics and history, anC an authority on American history anG government. His extensive work, The American Commonwealth, is used as g text book, not only in universities all over the world, but by lawyers and statesmen.
 Edmund Burke is remembered sometimes not so fondly by younger students, for his several addresses be fore the parliament favoring colonial government for the Americans, and lessened taxation with some represen tation in parliament, that body which imposed the taxes without allowing the colonists to be represented in its arguments. His Speech on Concilia tion with America" is still master piece and a text for American schoo study.
 The Pitt bust was unveiled in Pitts burg on September IA; the Bryce sta tue was unveiled with appropriate cer emony in the Capitol building here last week.

CHILD'S POET IS IGNORED
 BY STATUE

night
 Sailed off in wooden shoe, Sailed on a river of misty light
 Into sea of dew.
 CHICAGO, Oct. 18.-Eugene Field, "the children's poet" best known for the poignant lines of his Little Boy Blue" and his series of lulla- bies. took his place in Chicago's marble hall of fame with the un- yelling this month in Lincoln Park of monument dedicated to him.
 Children of Chicago, through news paper subscription funds, raised near ly half the cost-the remainder was donated by the Ferguson Memorial Fund-and the memorial fittingly commemorates the famous lullabies to which millions of children have been sung to sleep.
 A breeding angel is depicted hov- ering over two sleeping children,
 
 their eyes. Beneath, on one side of the memorial, is carved the first four lines of the Dutch Lullaby, better known as "Wynken, Blynken and Nod" On the other side of the sleeping figures are the open ing lines of fThe Sugar Plum Tree"
 Have you ever heard of the Sugar
 Plum Tree?
 'Tis a marvel of great renown; It blooms on the shore of the lolli-
 In the garden of Shut Eye, town.
 A fountain, marble seats and the brief inscription, ''To Eugene Field" complete the memorial.
 The principal speaker at the un- yelling ceremonies were Melville E.. Stone, counsellor and former general manager of The Associated Press, who brought Eugene Field to Chicago from Denver in 1883, when MT. Stone was associated with MT. Vic- tor Lawson in the. publication of The Chicago Daily News. The poet remained with The News until the time of his death, in 1896, conduc- ting a column called "Sharps and Flats"
 Two grandchildren of the poet, Jean Field Foster and Robert Field, pulled the cords to unveil the monument, while Slason Thompson, friend of MT. Fields newspaper days, presided. The Dutch Lulla- by was sung by Mrs. Louise Harrison Slade and the Rev. Will liam E. Barton also spoke.
 The statue was designed by Sd- ward McCartan, of New York City. The children of Chicago raised near ly $1OO0O of the funds for it's erection, the remaining $11,000 be- ing donated from the Ferguson Foundation, which, by it's donors will, is used exclusively to erect statues in Chicago's public places.
 Eugene Field was born in St. Louis in 1850, either on September ? or September 8. The latter date is given in the Field family gene oI> rrl1 fNr the greater part of his life the poet observed the former as his birthday.
 His mother died when he was six years old, and his youth was spent in the home of his cousin, Miss Mary F. French, of Amherst, Mass, years whose happiness he commorated in his verses dedicating his Little Book of Western Verse;" the first published volume from his pen.
 He began his newspaper career as paragrapher in St. Louis, spent a short time in St. Joseph, went from there to Kansas City, and then to Denver, where he remained until persuaded by Mr. Stone to transfer to Chicago.
 His poem, Little Boy Blue," be- ginning:
 The little toy dog is covered with
 dust,
 But sturdy and staunch he stands: And the little toy soldier is red
 with rust,
 And his musket moulds in his
 hands.

REV. GEORGE BLOCKER
SMASHES HEADS WIFE,
AND ANOTHER WOMAN

One of the most brutal assaults
upon human life that has been made
in Tonopah in years occurred this
morning at $40 O'Clock when George
Booker, a colored minister. struck
bis wife upon the head with an iron
pipe fracturing her skull on the
left side Of the forehead, and then
in his frenzy turned upon a Mrs.
Shelby, aged 60 years, also colored,
striking her on the forehead above
the right eye, also causing a fracture
Of skull,
The crime was committed at the
home Of Mrs. Shelby who resides
on Summit, between Brougher and
Oddie avenues, the house facing the
West End dump. Blocker endeavorad
to gain admittance to the house,
and when refused, used his iron pipe
in knocking out the window of the
kitchen on the houth side He then
climbed in and started upon his dev.
ilish work that may result in the
death of his wife, and which will
likely cause Mrs. Shelby to be con.
fined to her home for a long time.
Following the assault Blocker dis
appeared and despite the fact that
a thorough search has been in prog
ress for him up until the time this
paper goes to press not trace of
him has been found. Sheriff Box
Of GOldfeld was notified and watched
all ways of entrance into that town,
but the fugitive failed to put in an
appearance. Outgoing trains were
watched carefully by Robert .Dalzell,
acting chief of police, and his depu
ties, while a search of the town has
been conducted all day, but no sign
Of the wanted man has materialized
Blocker and his wife resided in
house near the old school building
and according to reports, they be
came engaged in a quarrel at their
NhOme last night. Mrs. Blocker final

tie home of Mrs. Shelby, where she
remained during the night, or until
the assault took place this morning
The home of Mrs, Shelby was a
guesomelooking place following the
assault. Blood was spattered in all
directions and evidences of a gen
eTal cOmmOtion were seen. The
screams of the two injured women
awakened many residing in the
neighbOrhood, and Acting Chief Of.
Police Dalzell was called. He had
the injured women removed to the
Nine Operators hospital, where they
We're given first aid surgical atten-
ton. Later Mrs. Shelby was remov-
ed to the county hospital
The condition of Mrs Blocker is
reported as being serious. In addi,
ton to suffering a fractured skull
she became paralyzod on the right
SIDE, although some hope is held for
her recovery Mrs. Shelby's wound,
although serious, is not considered
dangerous.
Blocker, the fugitive, came to To-
hopah last November from Reno, and
Immediately ingratiated himself with
his colored brethren. Posing as
