Bucklin Demands
Details of Report
CONTINUED from page u

he was quoted as saying ''that the
members of the jury were either
deliberately lying or that they were
grossly misinformed and did no.
trouble themselves to investigate
the situation.
"Is it possible, gentlemen, thai
the expert picked out and employed
by you, for the very evident pur-
pose it is believed, to whitewash
your Official acts and incidentally
to score and condemn the grand
jury report, failed to live up TO your
expectations
us it further possible that in
your Judgment he also has delib-
eratelv lied in his report, or did
he likewise get misinformation as
to the facts?
Will you give to the public the
facts as 10 your attempts to IN
duce Mr. Barton to rewrite his re-
port along the line more satisfactor-
ily to your desires, and upon his re-
fusal to do so your further attempts
to force him to cut out from his re-
port certain portions which were
considered by you as a statement OF
facts of which you did not desire to
have the people become cognizant!
Is it not fact that Mr.. Barton, as
an honorable man, refused to do
either of these things, so earnestly
urged by you?
Will You further please inform
the public why you have had burned
or otherwise destroyed nine of the
ten copies of the Barton report (the
typing of which was an extra cost
to the taxpayers) and why you have
also given instructions to Secretary
McIver to burn or destroy the last
and only remaining copy immediate

member Of the board, Mr.. Aten, who
was not present at the time the re-
port was filed and read by yOu'
Demand Light of Day
Gentlemen, the people of this
valley demand that the light Of
dav be let in on these vital matters.
The ugly word of liar 'undesir-
able citizen traitor and many
other epithets have been used and
hurled at the members Of the recent
grand jury. The public demand the
right to know if the calling of these
ugly names constitutes the only ar
guments which you are going TO be
able to use to refute the findings Of
the grand jury report.
"1he writer suggests that you
try again to find another expert.
Possibly you may be more success
full next time in finding some man
whose sense of honor is not so high
as that Of Mr.. Barton, and one whom
you may induce to do your bidding.
However, in case no such individual
can be found, allow the suggestion
that you undertake to perform the
job yourselves.

PASSES BAD CHECKS,
 FINE MATTSON S2OO
Worcester Man Cashed Worth less Checks at Two Local
 Stores

4 plea of guilty was entered by Edward Mattson of Worcester. when he was arraigned Saturday afternoon before Judge Geissler of the city court. charged with passing worthless checks. The defendant, who is a young man of 23 years. said he had no intention of wrong doing when he offered and cashed the checks; that he had ex- peeted to make them good at once. He declared that he was ready to make restitution. Willingness on the part of court to give the defendant another chance and also because he was eager to make good the losses suffered on his account, Judge Geissler dealt lightly with the prisoner, who under the stat utes was liable to states prison term. Judge Geissler imposed fine of S200 and costs of S23.62. The fine and costs were paid and the young man was released from custody.
 Mattson appeared in Putnam sey- eral weeks ago and succeeded in hav- ing checks cashed by George Annas and at the Church Clothing Co. Each was for SIS and made payable to John Began. He SO endorsed them. But the checks came back from Worces- ter bank, upon which they were drawn, with the report that no ae- count was carried in the name of the man signing them. Police were called in and MattsOn'g arrest followed at Worcester Saturday, Captain of Police Jarvis going after him during the forenoon

BOOK NEWS
Adventures in Journslism"
 by
 Sir Philip Gibbs (Harper and Brothers. i923)


 It isn't by any means because we have spent the major part of our life tn the atmosphere of printers ink that We found Philip Gibbs account of his newspaper life one of the most fascinatingly interesting books of the new year. It is because the famous British war correspondent has manag- cd to make personal reminisenee thrill ing. amusing and absorbing. This knighted brother of Cosmo Hamilton. whose own life story is at present running in the Saturday Evening Post, had a long journalistic career before that day arrived when he was one of the five official correspondents at tached to the British Expeditionary Forces in France. What Sir Philip tells of his pre-war newspaper days in England is full of interest. One story alone. that of his famous expose of Dr. Cook, the fake diseoverer of the North Pole, is alone worth a per sual of the book. But there are other chapters and those telling brief
 ly and quite intimately of his war work and the various personalities which he encountered out there are paftiNuiafi9 tHtffcStihk' many eHN. V is an enthusiastic and frequently Imaginable account of the authors ex- periences during his lecture tours in this country, when he was often the target of the Sim Fein uporar. Every newspaper writer should read Adventures in Journalism" and every newspaper reader who absorbs the book will have an excellent idea of the trials and difficulties and the re- wards of the newspaper worker.
