gested that unless Congress saw
tit to enact a sales tax, passage
of bonus legislation should be
temporarily postponed.
81 believe" the President
wrote, "the American people will
accept the levy of a general sales
tax to meet the proposed bonus
payment and we should continue
there, no added difficulties to the
problems of reajustment. If Con-
gresS will not adopt such a plan it
would be wise to let the legisla-
ton go over until there is situa-
ton to justify the large outlay"
The President declared the gov
crnment had under consideration
the disposition of surplus of war
properties which should bring
great relief to the treasury.
The Presidents letter was re-
garded as leaving the bonus stu
alton as more complicated than
before.

Captain Pike tossed the ball
through the hoop for the basket
which won the game for the Soph-
omores from the Juniors. This
class contest took place in the
Fairbanks A. A gymnasium Mon
day evening and was the best at
tended of any so far. In the first
part of the first half the Sopho-
mores took advantage of the alb
sence of Shields in the Juniors
lineup, and shot rings around
them, but the elongated Junior
center guard, Goss, came in for
the last five minutes and the
shooting turned in his team-mate
favor. The score for the first half
was 10 to l3 to the Sophomore;

This makes the Sophomores

BUNTED HEAD
AGAINST
THE WALL
Gandin Felt Like Killing
Self When Family Mat
ters Went Wrong

The petitionee, Louis Gandin
was the principal witness Thurs
day in the contested divorce ease
brought by his wife, Rosie Gan
din, in Caledonia county court.
Gandin testified that he was
born in Northern Italy. He has
lived in South Ryegate eleven
years. He became an American
citizen in 1917. He is a granite
cutter and had partnership with
his brother-in-law Andreoletti
which was dissolved last June.
Serious trouble with his wife
started about that time.
On one occasion he felt so badly
about it that he bunted his head
against the wall and tried to kill
himself but stopped it because it
hurt. He tried to kill himself on
several occasions. He had heard
about McSweeney who went on a
hunger strike and died, but said
he never went on a hunper strike
himself. He said his business and
the heavy load of debt he was
carrying was to blame if he was
ever unthoughtful of his wife and
family. He said he loved his
family and wanted to care and
make home for his children.
The last witnesses for the pc
titioner were Martin Gibson, Mrs.
Regina Leonardo and E. Andreo-
lette. Mr. Gibson allowed that
Gandin was tempery but that Ms.
Gandin was good housekeeper
and kind to her children. Mrs.
Leonardo was sure her daughter
was a model mother, Mr.. Andreo-
letti testified about his partner
ship with his brother in law. On
cross examination Mr.. Gibson, in
response to Attorney Conant;
questions, said he had been in
court before ana had been
cross-eXamined by members of his
firm.
The evidence 70" the netitionec
was all to the effect that Gandin
was an average husband in every
way, was kind to his family, a
good providcr and an industrious
man. The evidence all tended 10
show that the business trouble:
and the breaking uo of the partner
ship between Gandn and his
brother-in-laW Andreoletti was
the real bepinnir~ Of the trouble |
in the Gandin family. That Mrs. .
Gandin sided against her huS-
band in all these NEGOTIATIONS an / F..
that it tended to make troublc.
Among the witnesses examined
were: William Stevens, Pietro
Zambon, Eugene Rosa, Giacomo
Iambelli, Columbia Rosa, Americo
Gardbato Emma Chiradio. John
and Alice Rosa. Zampiri Ricardo,
Andrew Benedino and Dominica
Gatoli
Testimony in the case was prac-
tically completed Thursday noon.
Antonio Mollica of St. john
bury is the official Interpreter in
this case and he is good one. If
Tony ever gets tired of SELLING
fruit or making candy he should
study law.
