Special Grand Jury /.
Review Evidence
Pelletier Removal

Boston. Dec. 29.-The special
grand jury sitting in review OF the
criminal aspects of the evidence ad-
duced in the civil proceedings on
which Joseph c. Pelletier was re-
moved as district attorney of Suffolk
county, heard evidence in three OF
the cases cited against him today.
Mrs. Charlotte 3. Hughes of New
York was heard in connection with
the charge that Pelletier and Daniel
H. Coakley, an attorney who was
disbarred on the same evidence as
that used against Pelletier. conspired
to extort $4,000 from Sam Luxman
who was being sued by Mrs. Hughes.
then Charlotte Broad, for breach of
promise. 1t was said that new evil
dence on this case had been discover
ed since the supreme courts ruling
that the connection of Pclletier with
the acts complained Of was not
proved.
The jury finished its consideration
OF two other cases begun in the past
three days and also listened to Frank
r. Peters, Boston wool merchant,
who has testified previously that Pei
letter allowed the office of District
Attorney to be used by Coakley and
others to cxtort $4,000 from him on
charges brought by young woman.

Analysis Shows City
Water Free of Impurities

The people of this city and Fair
field will no doubt be pleased to hear
that q chemical analysis has been
made of the water and that it is
free from any bacterial or chemical
contamination which would render
the water unfit for domestic use. The
analysis was made ON account of the
fact that for some time there have
been complaints made that the water
had a disagreeable taste, particularly
in the Fairfield district.
Special examination of four speci-
mems taken from four different
sources, one from the reservoir, one
from "a Burrill street, one from 207-
IL Main street and one from Nye
Court in Fairfield. 1t is the opinion
of the directors of the division of
sanitary engineering that the dis
agreeable taste is probably due to
the dislodgement of scale Of growths
in some of the small service pipes,
induced by exceedingly heavy drafts
upon the water system, accompanied
by sudden changes in pressure. Ar
engagements have been made with this
division of the Department of Public
Health to have daily analysis made
and the water takers may be assured
that if anything wrong is discovered
they will be Immediately notified.

Bernhardt Says
Will Be Back on
| Stage Next Week

Paris, Dec. .9.-tBy "A. P.)--Tell
the American people that I shall re-
turn to the stage next Wednesday
night" said Sarah Bernhard to the
Associated Press this evening in the
course of the first interview she has
granted since her collapse during the
rehearsal of a new play two weeks
ago.
The distinguished actress showed
great improvement today, having been
able to have luncheon with the mem.
bers Of her household in the dining
room. Her physicians declared that
they had found no evidence of organic
disease or chronic illness. and were of
the belief that the collapse OF Madame
Bernhard was due only to over-exer-
ton and strain.
Although the physicians in attend
ance and the members of the house
hold are afraid to tell her. it is not
improbable that Bernhard will be
forced to rest for a longer period. The
doctors are afraid that resumption
of work now would prove fatal to the
!9-year-old actress.
You know, I think I shall be able
to act for long time yet" Madame
Bernhard told the correspondent.
Work keeps one young, and so long as
I can work and please the public /
shall be able to act. If l rested too
long l wouldn't live"
Tell my American friends" Bern
hardt added, that I am far from dead
or from dying, as some of the reports
would have it. and that this rest. as
choose to call it. probably will give
me a new lease of life
All danger for the actress seeming
~ now is definitely over unless the
combined efforts of her doctors, her
household and nc friends fail to keep
her away from the theatre for q suffi-
cient time in which to regain her
strength. Thus far they are finding
it an uneven struggle, with Bernhard
winning every clash.

Irish Orce Wore kits

There is no more doubt that kits
and plaids were worn in early times
in Ireland than there is that the
Breton laws were once in operation,
declares the New York Evening Tele-
gram.
In Ireland kits Of one color--saf-
fron-werc used. Nothing like the
tartan, by which the various Scottish
| clans are still distinguished, was ever
arrived at,
Irish bagpipes were OF simple
type. They were not blown, but
pumped end never reached the high
state of development of the war in
strument so closely associated with
Scots fighting regiments for hundreds
of years and with life in the high
lands.
The Irish guards have had the
pipes since their formation as q re-
suit OF the Boer war.
Among those in private life who
affected the use of Irish kits in
town as well S country in recent
years was one Of the brothers of the
present Lord Ashbourne, son OF the
former lord chancellor.
In many minute details as to equip
ment. dress and custom there was a
close parallel between the two coun-
tries.

Seamen Saved From
Wrecked Schooner

Provincetown, Mass, Dec. 29.-The
schooner Annie l.. Spindler, of Var
mouth, n. S, was wrecked at Race
Point today and the crew Of six men,
trussed to the rigging in a storm
of almost hurricane strength for
hours, was rescued by breeches buoy.
1t was reported that the vessel was
loaded with liquor but Captain Irving
Collins, head of the coast guard crew
had no official knowledge of her car
go.
The schooner was high and dry at
half tide, apparently with little choice
of being floated. Her cargo, however,
probably can be saved.
The Spindler was blown on to Cape
Cod early today by the bowling
noreaster. The storm shut off OBJ
servation from shore and it was not
until breakfast time at the Race
Point station that the lookout sighted
the schooner. stranded on the rips
off the point. Distress signals told

Statecraft With Sun Vat sen

In February, 1920, 1 went down to
Shanghai from Picking. Sun Yat-sen
was there at the time. ! called on
one of his admirers. We talked
about conditions in Picking and, as /
leaving, DR.. Sun asked me to see
him again before I left. 1 did so.
and he then sketched his newest
venture in Statecraft. He was con-
sidering the consummation Of an al
lance with Tuan Chi-jui, Little Hsu
and the other Anfu lights who had
all but sold China. 1t seemed in
credible. Tuan was his ancient
enemy. 1t was Tuan who had driv-
Ell the pro-Caatonese Cabinet and
Parliament out OF Picking in 1917
and sworn Il vendetta against DR..
Suns party. Tuan once told me
himself, when he was premier, tina.
he had dedicated himself to the
crushing OF DR.. Sun, All, but all
that was altered, DIR. Sun answered
me. Tuan had had change of
heart. He had turned against the
japanese. In fact, he was going to
abrogate the Twenty-one Demands
and recognize DIR. Sun as president
He has agreed to obey my orders"
said DR.. Sun. Then he asked ME to
call on Hsu Shu-tseng Iittle Hsu)
and discuss with him the conditions
on which they could cooperate.
And when I got back to Picking I
did. The meeting was a solemn, but
amusing. farce. Self-possessed and
ously is. he hardly repressed the
flicker Of q smile on his lips when
l presented my credentials and ex-
planned the purpose of my visit. AS
for me. | did not even attempt to
suppress my smile when the young
scoundrel blandly assured me that
Of course he would work with DIR.
Sun and all other good patriots.
Now what had happened was this.
Tuan and Little Hsu recognized that
they had their backs to the wall.
There was WI Pei-fu against them,
and Tsao Kun and Chang Tso-ling
and Sun Yat-sen, all the military
might Of the country. They could
deal with Chang Tso-ling in the
North if they could prevent Sun Yat-
sen and WI Pei-fu from uniting
their forces in the South and Center.
SO they sent emissaries to Sun Yat-
sen and they made the appeal that
never fails with DR.. Sun. They told
him they would renounce Japan and,
recognizing DR.. Sun as the father Of
the Republic, restore him to his
rightful place as president. And Sun.

lowers first protested, then denied
that there was an alliance, and then

can have no other affiliations. They
have been in Canton too long. When
the attack came against the Anfu
Club that summer and even the
street coolies of northern cities were

feat Of the pro-Japanese clique. Sun
