TO AUTUMN

TO AUTUMN
Season of miStS and mellow
fruitfulness,
Close bosom friend of the ma
turing sun;
Conspirirg with him how to
load and bless
With fruit the vines that round
the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd
cottage trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness
to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump
the hazel shells
With sweet kernel; to set bud
ding more,
And still more, later flowers for
the bees,
Until thev think warm days will
never cease,
For Summer has o'er-brimmed
their clammy cells.

~ dinary not because of anything unusual
about the ceremony itself but because of its inn
plications-took place in Newark, N j., on Nov.
90 1890.
The principals DR.. Robert W. Buchanan,
an Notwithstanding little physician of extreme
ly modest means, and Mrs. Annie b. Sutherland
a welto-do mddle-aged widow who had profit
ably invested her money in properties that were
widely known in the underworld.
DR.. Buchanan gave his age 30, which was
correct, and Mrs. Sutherland gave hers al,
which was undoubtedly incorrect to the extent
of at least 10 years.
1t was destined TO be very odd marriage.
Dr. Buchanan had arrived in New York from
his native Nova Scotia in 1887, accompanied by
an attractive wife and young daughter. They
moved into house on w. 18th St, and the doctor
set up business at that address, but the practice
he gradually developed failed to meet his aspira-
tions Eventually he realized that he would have
to figure out some expeditions way of
featherng the domestic nest
Needless to say, this is an altogether normal
and healthy reaction in a society based upon in
dividua resourcefuness and free enterprise.
Early in 1890, he confided to certain friends
that his wife had fallen in love with another
Next he announced that she had deserted him.
He would have no recourse, he sadly stated,
but divorce.
The decree was granted on Nov. u.
Fifteen days later the bereaved eXhusband
asked friend Richard w. Macomber, who owned
a neighborhood restaurant, to accompany him to
Detroit evening times., 1945-12-30

Newark to witness will Macomber said he
would be glad to do So and they went to the
home of Mrs Sutherland on Halsey st.
So far as Macomber was concerned, it de-
Yeloped into somewhat startling visit In the
first place, Mrs. Sutherland struck Macomber
being rather rough type of female who had
probably quit school for more interesting adven-
lures at about the seventh elementary grade In
the second place she displayed an unmistakabe
attachment for Or. Buchanan.
Then there the will, which Mrs Suther-
land read aloud. The will provided that in the
event of the testator's death, all property and
money were 10 go to her husband, should she
have husband; and if she had no husband then
her estate to go to her dear friend and ply
sican, DIR. Robert Buchanan.
Two days later came the marriage
An almost unprecedented state of affairs pre-
vailed after the ceremony, for the bridegroom re-
turned to his house on w. 11th st. while the
bride remained in Newark. Buchanan told no
one about the event.
This went on for several months, then the

doctor informed Macomber that Annie had sold
her house in Newark for $1,000 and given him
the money. lie had added $500 TO this sum, he
continued and purchased the house on 1lth st.
Soon after this, Annie moved into the 1lth st.
house. Buchanan said she was his housekeeper.
AS MacOmber-or practically anybody-might
have predicted, Annie proved disappointment In
all departments except the financial Buchanan
confided that she had foul temper, used very
incorrect language in the presence of his ddugh-
ter and created extremely uncultured scenes.
What about that will Of hers?" Macomoer
asked. IF you don't look out, she'll revoke it
1T is quite a dilemma, isn't it?" said the doc
Matters grew steadily worse. Buchanan adj
-mitted TO Macomber that he actually becom-
ing afraid of Annie Later he persuaded his
friend to take his daughter into the Macomber
home for the time being.
QUT then it appeared as if Annie herself might
- solve the problem of getting rid of herself, Tor
Buchanan reported that she had threatened to
take poison. GO ahead" he had helpfully sug.
gested you know where the poisons are kept .
But she changed her mind, and when Buchanan
next reported TO Macomber, he expressed the teare
that she would poison his food.
Il would appreciate il very much, he SAID, II
you would let me take my meals with you
Macomber consented, and thereafter the doc
tor ate with the Macomber family but slept at

Police Still Seekinq Mother

Three-year-old Tommy Summers
was happy today in his new home
with Mrs. Mary B. Reid, 1928
Thirty first street NV, who was
given permission yesterday by the
boys two aunts, Mrs Myrtle Arnett
and Miss June Howell, to take him
from the District Receiving Home
to look after him until arrange
ments for his future can be made
Tommy had been held in the Re-
ceiving Home since Monday while
police have been trying to find his
mother, Mrs. Mabel Loring Grasser.
He previously had been staying
with his aunts, who live in the
1700 block of @ street NV, until
his mother took him away Monday.
Mrs. Grasser, according to police,
put Tommy in taxicab then and
directed the driver to a boarding
home in Hyattsville, Md. Arriv-
ing there, the driver learned no
provisions for placing Tommy in
the home had been made. He then
turned the child over to the police.
AS for Tommy's future, it will be
adoption by Mrs. Reid and her hus-
band, If Mrs. Reid's hopes are real

Mrs. Reid said Tommy, son of Mrs.
eraser by first marriage, is catch

Army Discharges Due to Ease
Rail Labor Shortage, Mead Says

Chairman Mead of the Senate
War Investigating Committee
said today he thought Army dis
charges soon will begin to ease
the manpower shortage in essen
tial industries, especially the
railroads.
His committee completed hearings
yesterday on the transportation
problems involved in transferring
troops from Europe to the Pacific,
with Army spokesmen still opposing
a policy Of furloughing troops by
occupational groups.
The War Department has depart
ed from its general policy by au-
thorizing the furlough of 1000 ex-
railroad men from the Army to re-
turn to their old jobs, but the rail-
roads need $4,000 men, the commit
tee has been told. The Army con-
tends occupational releases upset
the point system of discharges.
There will be some railroad men
Evening star., 1945-07-28

among the mass discharges" Sena-
tor Mead said.
Before Senator Mead's committee
yesterday, Brig. Gen. Kenneth
Royal of the general staff testified
that discharges under the point
system are running about 1000 a
day.
Senator Mead said the committee
planned no further hearings, at least
Immediately, but would insist that
the Army cooperate with trans
portation agencies. Col. J. Monroe
Johnson, director of the Office of
Defense Transportation, had pro-
tested that the Army had given him
little information about scheduled
arrivals of soldiers from Europe.
81 intend to take it up with the
Office of War Mobilization and will
go higher if necessary" Chairman
Mead told reporters.
Reports Made Daily.
One of Fred M. Wilson'S last off,
cial acts as war mobilizer was to
direct that the Army supply ODT
with information on troop arrivals.
Maj. Gen. John M. Franklin, act
ing chief of transportation, testified
Yesterday that ODT now is getting
daily reports on arrivals.
Expressing conviction that rail-
roads can carry out War Depart
ment plans for movement of troops
and freight. he declared they were
not being asked to do more than
they are geared to handle under
current conditions"

aged 200 enemy planes, Admiral
Chester w. Nimitz's communique
today reported.
In the 10 consecutive days in
which the Halsey fleet has prowled
virtually unmolested near Japan,
ships guns, carrier planes and naval
land-based aircraft have sunk or
damaged 796 enemy ships or small
craft, destroyed or damaged 862
planes.
Even the Japanese radio con-
ceded that remaining units of the
imperial fleet were helpless. In a
broadcast pointing out that the
Allied naval mainstay now is air
power, with surface ships in an
auxiliary" role, it added:
Thus without full control of the
air, activities of surface craft have
become impossible"
Thirteen Japanese planes were
shot down on Tuesday and 81 on
Wednesday, while 256 we're de-
stroyed or damaged while parked on
the ground.
Nine of the enemy planes were
shot down as they approached the
Allied fleet, but Admiral Nimitz said
mo attacks were carried out against
our ships"
Allied losses for the two days
