EXCITED WRATH OF DICKENS
Great Writer, at His Best. Denounced
Public HanoInas, Which Wsrs
Disgrace to English Law.

Charles Dickens. at the time OF the
execution Of Manping and Ills wife for
the murder Of Patrick O'Conn0r, was
at his fullest power as writer. In a
letter to the London Times he wrote !:
II believe that a sight SO inconceiv.
ably awful as the wickedness and levi
ty OF the immense crowd collected at
the execution this morning could be
imagined by no man, and presented by
no heather land under the sun. The
horrors OF the gibbet and the crime
which brought the wretched murderers
to II faded In my mind before the
atroclous bearing, looks and language
OF the assembled spectators. When
came upon the scene at midnight the
shrillness OF the cries and howls that
were raised from time to time. denot
Ing that they came from a concourse
Of boys and girls already assembled In
the best places, made my blood run
cold. When the two miserable crea
lures who attracted all this CHASTITY
sight about them were turned culver
ing into the air, there was no more
emotion, no more pity, no more thought
that two immortal souls had gone tc
judgment, no more restraint In any OF
the previous obscenities, than II the
name Of Christ had never been heard
In this world, and there were no belle
among men but that they perish like
the beasts"

The latest investigation into the
double Staying OF Rev. Edward Wheel

secrecy that they have considered 1t
essential to remove their official head

The official is known TO be very

citizens of New Brunswick appear to
repose any substantial evidence.
The authorities admitted that they
were attempting to trace the diary OF
Mrs. Mills. which. 1t n said, she gave
to the rector in exchange fG his. They
also said that consideration was be.
ing given to the possibility that Mrs.
Mills diary, in possession OF the rec

the actual time OF its :. discovery
among his papers is considered OF
great value in the case.

CHINESE MINISTER AS CUPID
Testing Remark Made by WI Ting
Fang Led to the Unlsn OF Two
Loving Hearts.

WI Ting Fang was, while minister
at Washington, attending the wedding
of the daughter OF the chief justice
at that time. AZ the breakfast he
asked one OF the bridesmaids when II
would be her turn 10 become bride.
She modestly said that she did not
know, as she had not yet had an Of
fer. Turning to group of young men.
Doctor WI jocularly remarked to one
OF them, "This Is a beautiful lady,
would you not like 10 marry herT
He replied. 81 should be most delight
ed to-" "Will you accept his offerT
said Doctor WI to the bridesmaid.
She seemed slightly embarrassed and
said something to the effect that as
she did not know the gentleman she
could not give definite answer.
Meeting the Chinese minister ut an
'at home" few days later, she scold'
ed him for his bluntness, and he ex.
cused himself by saying that he was
aUuated by the best OF motives.
4 few months afterward WI re-
celved an invitation from the young
ladys parents to attend her marriage.
The bridegroom was the young man
who had figured In the unconventional
incident. To Wu's agreeable surprise
the mother OF the bride Informed him
that II was he who had first brought
the young couple together, and both
bride and bridegroom heartily thanked
him for his good Offices.

Lao.tsze Wrote Gospel Of Taoism.

Lao-tsze wrote the gospel Of Taolsm.
from whose pages an immense re-
llgion grew up. Having been librarian
Of a Chinese king. and having much
time for meditation, he came after
many years TO the conclusion that hu.
milIty was the supreme virtue. He
resigned. and desired to hide In Sc
cluson. While passing through the
gate of the palace on his way to soil
tude the warder besought him: "You
are about to withdraw yourself from
the world. pray you write me a
book before you so"
Lao-tsze thereupon sat down and
wrote book about half the size OF
st. Marks gospel. He gave this to
the warder, passed through the gate
and no man knows where he died
The little book Is the gospel OF Tao
ism. The word TAO" means way
man of destiny. The advice was that
men should become like little chill
dren and act without reflection.

Modification of Statute

Burlington. Oct 20.-'We have
heard much about the Turks being
crafty diplomats, dividing their Euro
pean enemies and then defeating
them. That appears to be the plan
Of Mr.. Kennedy. my opponent. in
trying to split the republican vote In
Vermont on the issue OF the Volstead
act" said Frederick G. Fleetwood Of
Morrisville, republican candidate for
Congress from the first district,
speaking yesterday at luncheon for
Chittenden and Grand Isle counties
in the dining room of Hotel Vermont.
Mr.. Fleetwood continued: I do not
believe that the republicans OF Yer
mont will desert the standard for the
sake Of this one point. We hear much
OF the 18th amendment these days.
That amendment Is law OF the land.
1t is part OF the Constitution which
Is the very life-blood OF the nation.
and for one, shall stand for the up
holding Of the Constitution. If any
law is introduced which attempts TO
nullify the Constitution | shall not be

ed"
Senator Dillingham; at the opening
Of his speech referred to this same
question. What good would it do for
this man to get through an amend
ment to the Volstead act permitting
the sale of light wines and beers?"
asked Senator Dillingham;. Suppose
he carries Congress by his eloouence
and brings about this amendment to
the Volstead act? What would the
Supreme court say about it?'
Senator Dillingham;. went on to eS-
plain that the Volstead act which uu-
dertakes to enforce the 18th amend
ment has no concern with anything
except intoxicating liquors for beyer-
age purposes. Intoxicating liquors, he
said. are those which contain more
than one-half OF one per cent OF alco.
hol. Therefore suppose that an amend
ment to the Volstead act was sassed
allowing the manufacture and sale OF
beverages containing 10 per cent al.
cohol which has been declared intoxi
eating The Supreme court II is quite
likely, the senator said. would hold
such an amendment unconstitutional
inasmuch as it would tend to nullify
the 18th amend ent by legalizing the
manufacture and sac of intoxicating
liquor"
"The idea OF thus amending the
Volstead act looks silly to me- de.

The third speaker of the afternoon

$4,000 DAMAGES
Stockraiser Disappeared in 1920
With Neighbor's Wife
LOVE LETTERS EVIDENCE
Buckley Wrote Amorously to
Mrs. Crapo While Wife Was
Preparing Dinner

Troy, Oct. 20.--The disappearance
of Albert G. Buckley, prominent
stockraiser from his home in Valley
Falls, on Sept /, 1920. and the dlsap.
pearance at the same time OF Mrs.
Anita Crapo, the wife Of neighbor,
came into notice again yesterday In
supreme court before Justice Wesley
o. Howard when an action by George
Crapo against Buckley for the recov.
cry of $4,000 damages for alienation
rof the affections of the wife Of the
plaintiff was tried and verdict for
$4,000 was rendered by the jury.
The plaintiff was the only witness
called and he told the story OF his
wife's disappearance from their home
In Valley Falls on the day Buckley
left. He said the relations between
himself and his wife had always been
happy, but that she became infatu.
ated with Buckley, and, abanconed
her home, her child, boy nine years
OF age, and himself, the plaintln.
The plaintiff offered in evidence
many letters found in his wife's room
after her fight, showing that Buck
ley kept up secret correspondence
with her for long time before the
elopement and that they had been
planning flight, their disappearance
to take place as soon as Buckley
raised $4,000. which. In one Of the
letters read he said he was getting
together.
His letters to Mrs. Crapo were
filled with endearing terms, and
his belief in her devotion to him. He
urged her to destroy the letters he
wrote to her, some OF them written,
he said while his own wife was busy
getting dinner ready for him in an
adjoining room. The Injunction to
destroy the incriminating correspon-
dence was not needed. 1t was demon
strated by their production In court,
they being left in bureau drawer

NEW GOVERNMENT.
Party Conference to Set Bonar

MAY POSTPONE ELECTION
New Ministers Will Be Required
to Vacate Seats in
Parliament
MAY POSTPONE ELECTION

London, Oct. 20.-The Court CIR
GUAR issued last night, in announc
ing the resignation OF the prime min!
ter, says:
The Honorable Mr.. LLOYD ueorg,
was received in audiencee by his ma
1esty and rendered his resignation a.
prime minister and first lord of tn,
treasury, which the king was gra
ciously Pleased to accepa. The Righ
Honorable Mr. Bonar Law was re
ceived in audience by his majesty
last evening.
Bonar Law explained to the king
That he was not in position to ac
cept the invitation to form a cabinet
as at the moment the Conservative
party was without an official or rec
ognized leader. 1t would be neces
sary, he said, to summon meeting
or the Unionists OF both the House
or Lords and the House of Commons
to accept his (Bonar Laws policy,
and elect him leader of the Unionist
party, before he could undertake tho
responsibility of forming a Conserva,
tive ministry. 1t is understood this
meeting will be held either Sunday
or Monday.
After seeing the king, Bonar Law
consulted his supporters, notably
Lord Derby and Sir George Younger.
Although the adherence of Lord Bal.
four. Lord Birkenhead and other Tn.
ionists to Lloyd George will make
Bonar Laws task of forming a min
isry somewhat difficult one, he has
ample material at hand to form a
cabinet, in which the principal mem.
bers are expected to be Lord Derby,
Stanley Baldwin. Sir Arthur Griffith.
Boscowen. Viscount Fitzalan, the
Earl OF Shelborne. Viscount Peel. the
Marquis of Salisbury, Lieut-Co. Les.
lie Wilson, Sir William Loynson- Hicks
and Sir Philip Lloyd Greame.
The Marquis of Salisbury in a
speech at Cirencester tonight re.ter.
ated that the clock could not be put
back in Ireland that the Unionists
would not be parties to the breaking
OF England's word so long as the
Irish abided by the treaty in spirit
and in letter
One OF the difficulties Bonar Law
Will have to contend with in form.
ing a ministry is that all the new
ministers will be required to vacate
their seats in Parliament and seek
reelection, thus causing a number OF

resort to immediate dissolution, but

Chicago, Oct 20-Placing of rail-

was suggested by w. H. Stackhouse
of Davenport, Iowa, speaking here to-
day before the twenty-ninth conven.
ton of the National Association OF
Farm Equipment Manufacturers
Such a measure should effective
ly protect the country from repet-
tion Of the diastrous strike through
which il recently passed, and usher In
an era of comparative industry is
concerned he declared.
Were congress to enact law re-
cognizing all railroads employees OF
especial value to the service and COM
fort of the public declare them to be
preferred class, and fix their wages
periodically on basis slightly in ex.
cess of those paid in other industries,
coupled with the proviso that any
concerted refusal to continue such EN-
ployment would constitute felony.
such measure should effectively pro-
tect the country.
"This would be especially true II
such an act contained the stipulation
that such employment would at all
times be open to men and women Of
! proper qualifications, regardless OF
their affiliation or non-affiliation with
any organization.
1T would become imperative that
congress likewise guarantee the car
riers fixed rate Of return on their
property values, II the great trans
portation systems are to be saved
from the destructive and extravagant
effects of government ownership and
operation with the people at large
the greatest victims of so false a pol;
cy.
The recent coal strike terminated
In a complete victory for the miners
without the operators losing anything
as they will recoup through advanced
prices to the consuming public. This
strike demonstrated the fallacy OF con-
sidering industrial and economic
problems solved by the employers ac'
Quiescing in all of their employees de-
mands and transmitting the additional
cost to the consuming public"
