BOSTON, May 18-Petitioners
for the removal from the supreme
court bench of Justice Edwin P.
Pierce We're given leave to with
draw today by special legislative
committee which investigated the
charges. The committees action
unanimous. 1t was alleged that

justices and accepted gratuities.
The committee found that Judge
Pierce on several occasions re
ceived gifts of flowers from Atty.
w. Edwin Ulmer "whose interest
as counsel were before the supreme
judicial court" 1t was held, how
ever, that the JUDGE believed the
flowers cost but little and that
many were surplus stock.

voiced objection to receiving the
gifts was noted. The committee
held that no attitude of the re
spondent was by reason Of the
gifts different than it would have
been had the gifts not been made,
and that he was a party to no con

treasurer Tuesday night was com

Treasurer Fred i1anaford kept the
combination in a book on his des!,
was under inquiry today by state
and local authorities. They had
been unable to make much pro
gress towards locating two men re-
ferred to in a note left beside the
rifled safe. The fact that the
amount taken was the largest sum
of money that Treasurer Hama
ford has had in the safe at one
time in many months, that the note
was produced on the typewriter in
the Treasurer's office, and that the
burglars knew the combination,
caused the officials to consider the
possibility that it was an inside

THINK THEY LIVE
IN AGE OF WONDERS

1t was remarked in New

better illustration could be
given of the progress of the
times than the fact that in
five hundred homes was read
the account of the plane
which carried produce gather
ed in New Jersey in the morn
ing and unloaded in Boston
for sale at nine o'clock.
The account of it was flash
ed to the papers and at five
in the evening of the same
day. the daily newspaper
is in our hands in Northern

Within the memory of those
now living whose fathers
came to Newport over q blaz-
ed trail. This world seems al
most incredible were it not
that it is an age of wonders.
