WINDSOR, Conn, May 8.-Wal-
ter TreadWay Huntington of Wind
sor, junior at Harvard college, was
found dead in a field in a lonely
section of this town today, a deep
wound behind an ear and his face
covered with blod.
There was no indication of a
struggle or trace of a weapon, &C
cording to Aaron P. Pratt, local
medical examiner. The grass near
the body was saturated with blood
and indications were the youth was
murdered near the spot where he
was found, Pratt said.
The examiner said the blood on
Huntington's face made it impossi-
bic to tell whether there was bull
let wound or powder stains. He
summoned Edward j. Hickey, coun-
ty detective. and Henry M Co.'S
tello, medical examiner, from Hart
ford to investigate, and Costello
was to perform an autopsy this aft
ernoon.
Death was believed to have oc-
Cured some time after midnight.
The youth had been on a short
vacation at the home Of his mother,
Mrs. Mary Clerke Huntington,
widow of the late Henry A. Hunt
lngton, lawyer.
County Detective Hickey agreed
in the belief the youth was mur-
dered and said he was certain Hunt
ington walked to the sWampy field
where he was found. There were
evidences Huntington had been i'll,
the detective said.
Mrs. Huntington told Hickey her
son left the house Tuesday night
to go to drug store. He did not
return and the next she heard Of
him was when police informed her
this morning that he had been
found dead by Tomas Aspinowitz, a
laborer.

Grammar, who rented the fowl
for one day, now nurses a very
vivid picture of the acrobatic
Fairbanks turning a double somer-
SauIt in a transcontinental diner,
bounding to the table and sinking
his teeth into a very tender drum
stick which once was a part Of the
anatomy Of Jo-Jo.
The closeup Grammar holds
shows Fairbanks muttering: "Boy,
what a goose!" and then plunging
into another, although no less ex-
pensive, portion of what was Jo-
10.
The dash-back in Grauman's
mind picture reveals Miss Pick

and named the successor "Goosy." "
Having invented it, Fairbanks
played it with the greatest dex-
terity, while Grammar, it seems,
played with less ability than any
one could imagine. Fairbanks
i-ode Grammar numerically about
the latter's inability to master
Goose"
With his mind on practical jok-
ing, Grammar hired Jo-Jo for
one day only, on the day Fair
banks and Miss Pickford left for
the east recently.
He had Schmidt dress the goose
with a necktie, a hat and other
such accoutrements. Finally a
sign around Jo-Jo's neck wished
Doug a goose Of a good time
Jo-Jo was placed in the train
compartment to be occupied by
the screen couple. All their well
Wishers, including Grammar,
chuckled over the goose. But
Grammar failed to get the goose
out of the compartment before the
train started.
T.
CCHMIDT, 1t seems, had Jo-Jo
- rented out at studios for some
time to come. and he wanted his
Jo-Jo. He wanted Jo-Jo 50 badly
he threatened to sue Grammar for
$500.
Grammar wired frantically to
overtake Fairbanks at Albuquer-
que:
Hope you had a good laugh
with the goose. Please ship him
back Immediately, as he is Jo-Jo,
the screen actor, and his owner
wants him for picture work"
To which Fairbanks replied
from La Junta, Colo:

have eaten. Suggest you take the

PEIPING. China. July Having
written this afternoon about bar
gain hunting In Peiping, am going
to try to catch up with my schedule by
writing tonight again, to tell about the
days doings. They were rather Stren-
nous doings, involving a long motor
trip through the dust over rough roads
and an unexpected pleasure at the close.
Summarized, the days happenings may
be said to have encompassed ancient
modern art, education and archaeology.
The title Summer palace" centuries
up a vision Of delight, place OF cool
city. Once upon a time, about $50
years ago, one of the emperors of
China, Kang-hsi, of the Tai-tsing dy-
nasty, had a concept OF such haven
Of rest. He had an eye for the beautiful
and he created, at immense cost,
Summer residence several miles out OF
the capital, which he called Chang
Chuen Yuan, or the Garden of Per-
petual Spring" Later he built another
royal country residence, short dis
lance away, which he gave to his son
and successor, Yum Chen. The two
were united into single establishment.
Ruins Yet Visible.
Chang Chuen Yuan is not the Sum
mer palace" which visitors to China
seek, for in 1860 British and French
troops destroyed 1t as an act of retalia-
ton or punishment for the delay OF
China in ratifying the treaty of Tien-
tSin. The ruins are visible today. a
sad heap Of broken stone. A short dis
lance to the east, however, lies the pal
ace of later use. originally part Of the

became known as Wan Shau Shan.
Approach to the Summer palace gives
no promise of its delights. There are
the usual bald. barren fields. secured
by the floods and worn out by man.
There are the familiar deep-sunken an
cient roads that become flooding water
courses in the rainy season and after
storms. There are the numerous viii
lagos of Squalid novels where miserably
exist the now half-clad people. Then
suddenly the road turns. great gate
way, barred to the public without the
price of admission, appears. and after
a parley, entrance is had into a fairy
land.
The interest Of the present-day visi-
tor in this remarkable asSemblage OF
pavilionS and pagodas, lake and archi-
tectural surprises is increased by the
fact that 1t was here that the empress
doWager used to come when she felt
most in need Of rest and especially
when she felt the years creeping upon
her. For it was in the highest Of the
pavilions that she used to pray for long
life. That was indeed a fitting place
to 60 for such a purpose. for the way to

To describe the Summer palace in
