ORIGINAL BOSWELL
 MANUSCRIPTS SOLD
American Purchases Valuable
 Papers Found in Dungeon

New York, Nov. 2 tP1-A musty. collection of James Boswell's orl- ginal manuscripts on the career of Dr. Samuel Johnson is on the hign seas, bound for America.
 Col. Ralph H. Isham has acquired the papers from Lord Talbot De Malahide, a descendant of Boswell. from whom he secured similar collection in 1927. They include 107 pages of the original of "The Life Of Samuel Johnson" the complete original of The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides," a projected outline Of q biography of Lord James and numerous letters between the writer and his biographer, Colonel 1sham said.
 While he did not dvulge the con- sideration paid. Col. Isham said the collection might overshadow in value his previous acquisition, which was described by scholars at the time as the find of the century and which a New York book dealer pric- ed at sS0.000. Col. Isham has stead lastly refused to part with any of the Boswell data.
 The material on the Life of Sam uel Johnson" is considered the most noteworthy of the discoveries be- cause it was believed that only Is pages of the manuscript survived. The Journal of a Trip to the Hebrides'' is the most interesting due to it's narrative and conversa- tional account of a journey made by Boswell and Johnson in 1773. About one-third of it was not in cluded in the first edition which vas published in 17S5.
 Discovered Through Croquet
 The desire of Lord Talbot's guest st Malahide castle to play a game of croquet led to the discovery. The servants were sent to locate the mallets, wickets and balls-and they found two boxes in a damp dun geon. One contained croquet equip ment and the other contained mass of yellow, crumbling papers. The castle had previously been ransacked in search Of such a treasure and it was believed that every existing scrap had been turned up.
 Col. 1sham said the new material probably will necessitate the addi- ton of one or two volumes to the Private Papers of James Boswell. which will be provided without fur ther cost to subscribers. When this is completed a popular edition will be issued, he said.

However. a check up this morning caused her to change her decision. Captain William P. keegan, detective chief, has assigned Detectives Edward McElligott and Jack Leary and Detective Lieuten- ant Timothy Hickey to the investl- Sation.

'. W. DIRECTORS 1, TOLD OF RUSSIA
Woman Social Worker Explains
 Immigrant Problems

The board of directors of the Y. w. C. A. had as it's speaker this morning at a session held at .1o:30 o'clock Mrs. Alexander Kasceno, enthusiast in world fellowship work. member of the national Y. w. C. A. institute, and wife of a soldier Of the white army of Russia during the world war and the ensuing revo- lution.
 Mrs Kasceno spoke to the board about the problems of foreign wom- en in America today. She is well acquainted with these difficulties, for she did not see America herself un- til 1920 when she escorted a group of refugees to this country from Nladivostok in the service of the Red Cross. Mrs. hasceno's work in the Y. w. C. A. now is to make contacts for Russian women in this country who have not sufficiently learned the customs and language. She acts as adviser to these unfor- tunates and is very successful hav- jug both the American point of view and the faculty of intimacy with immigrants from her native land.
 Mrs kasceno's history since the outbreak of the World War reads like fiction, even to the part of her finding her fiancee after he had been lost in his adventures as a SOL dier. After having been separated from him for a number of years, the then Miss Nina Pavlovsky had word that kaSceno was in Constantinople, and immediately began correspond ence anew. It was six years later that he came to this country and they were married in 1926. MT. Kas- ceno is now an airplane designer in Bridgeport.
 Immediately upon her arrival in ihis country in 1920 Mrs. kasceno entered the national Y. w. C. A. training school and a year later went to Cleveland, Ohio, in the ser vice of the International Institute. Later she was transferred to Bridgeport where there are four di- visions of nationality work, Russian. Polish, Hungarian, and Italian.
