Great Britain and France, as represented
by Foreign Secretary Curzon and Prem

however, that all will accept and that
the details will be worked out this after
noon so that the allied generals at Mu
dania can resume their conference in
full agreement with each other as to the
terms to be offered the Turks.
It was announced this afternoon that
the cabinet had fully approved the in

I am more powerful than the combined armies of the world. '
I am more deadly than bullets, and I have wrecked more homes than the mightiest
of siege guns.
I steal in the United States alone over $300,000,000 each year.
I spare no one, and find my victims among the rich and poor alike, the young and
old, the strong and the weak; widows and orphans know me.
I massacre thousands upon thousands of wage earners in a year.
I lurk in unseen places, and do most of my work silently. You are warned against
me, but you heed not. (
I am relentless. I am everywhere; in the home, on the street, in the factory, at
railroad crossings, and on the sea.
I bring sickness, degradation and deathand yet few seek to avoid me.
I destroy, crush and maim; I give nothing, but take all.
I am your worst enemy.
I AM CARELESSNESS
The week from October 2d to October 9th has been set aside as fire prevention
week. The aim is to bring to the people a realization of such facts as are quoted above
and to impress upon everyone the necessity of a general clean-up and removal of rub

FNIONTOWN. Pa.. Oct. 7. The
most serious dynamiting in the Connells

FUND FOR EDWARDS BUST.
Mayor of Boston Seeks Subscriptions to
Pay Sculptor for Rejected Work.
BOSTON, Oct. 7. The marble bust
of General Edwards by C. S. Paolo,
which stands at the present time in the
lounge room of the Boston City club, has
attained a new distinction since the art
commission rejected it.
The commission, of which Thomas
Allen is chairman, has not assigned any
particular reason for rejecting the bust,
so there is no knowing just what is t he
matter with it. It may be that the
commission felt the city was too poor at
present to purchase such a bust, and if
that was the reason. Mayor Curley has
at least partially solved the problem by
starting a subscription a fund with
winch to remunerate the sculptor. Of
course, even then it cannot be set up in
a municipal building without the con
sent of the art commission.
As a work of art. "the bust has been
approved by Gen. and Mrs. Edwards and
by several prominent sculptors and
critics. It is slightly larger, than life
and, in profile especially, is a remark
able likeness of Gen. Edwards.

COPENHAGEN, Oct. 7. Captain
Gottfried Hansen, an aid to King Chris

lief expedition to meet Roald Amundsent
the Norwegian explorer, attempting to
reach the North Pole. The reason given
for Captain Hansen's action was the
withdrawal of American financial back
ing. Captain Hansen's scheme to send the
expedition was severely criticised by Nor
wegian explorers, who riduculed his as
sumption that Amundsen had already
flown to the North Pole. It was an
nounced several days ago that. Amundsen
would attempt to make a flight to the
North Pole next May.

NEW YORK, Oct. 7. A drizzle this
morning made it doubtful whether a
world serie,s game would be played this
afternoon. Miller Huggins was making
desperate plans for today's game. He
believed that Carl Mays, who hasn't
been having any great success with his
underhanded delivery this year, might
halt the advance of McGraw's men. If
Mays doesn't bear out this belief Hug
gins is prepared to send Bush into the
game with but two days' rest.
McGraw, with two victories chalked,
can afford to take chances and he has
nominated Hugh McQuillian for the
pitching duty. Ryan, the youngster who
relieved Nehf and worked so admirably
for a short spell in the opening game,
is to be kept ready for relief. Today's

TWO IN HOSPITAL
AFTER ACCIDENT

Road Clarence Walker and Philip
Scribner Injured.
Two men were taken to the Rrattle
boro Memorial hospital yesterday follow
ing an automobile accident near Hins
dale on the Hinsdale road. The injured
men were Clarence Walker of Hinsdale,
who received several lacerations about

cident. Scribner was bruised and se
verely shaken up.

ing mechanism and the truck veered to
the side of the road and plunged down
a steep bank, mnking a nos dive into
the ground, injuring some of the men.

E. B. Halladay, '''formerly of Rrattle

representative of the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Co., has been promoted to the
office of assistant manager of the Wind

tleboro. He will come here in a week or
10 days. He will be succeeded in Lud
low by Daniel I. Rossiter, manager of
the Vermont Tribune (Ludlow) since
November, 1021.
Mr. Halladay is a son of Mr. and
Mrs. A. E. Halladay of Chestnut street.
He was born in Newfane a little more
than 22 years ago. After his gradua
tion from Rrattleboro high school he
went to Wisconsin to travel for an office
supply firm. He returned East in 1020
and entered the employ of the Dunham
Bros. Co.. remaining with them as
clerk until he went to Ludlow.
His appointment gives him the unique
distinction of being the youngest as
sistant manager of the Metropolitan com
pany in New England, if not in the East,
and to have won his promotion after
less than a year in the work. In June
he had pushed his way into the select
$i0.000 club of the company, which com
prises only those agents who had placed
that amount of business in the first six
months of the year. He is leading the
entire district of 15 more experienced
agents for the current year to date. "

Californiaii Mountain Climbers to Seek
Peak-Barred Region.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 7. Mountain
climbers of the West have turned their
sealing abilities to the task of discover
ing what lies beyond a seemingly im
penetrable wall of Siskiyou County's
"Hidden Valley". G. W. Pellepreau, the
discoverer of the valley, said he had
glimpsed it from a mountain peak with
the aid of high-powercd binoculars. From
all .reports lie believed the valley had
never been entered.
Some men believe it abounds in game
and that-mineral deposits are likely to
be found. AValls of sharp peaks sur
round the valley, standing like a barri
cade against man's advance. Once over
the walls, IMlepreau predicts, scaling
ropes and ladders will ! necesary to get
beyond the chasms. He estimates the
valley contains 300 acres.

FINDS HIS WIFE
IN WH T NGHAM
But Joseph Marino's Feel

to Disdain
WAS LIVING WITH
FELLOW COUNTRYMAN
Woman Left Family in New York City
Last May Husband Comes Here and
Police Investigate Case Turned Over
to State's Attorney.
An alleged case of desertion that
brought sorrow to the heart of a faith
ful husband who later changed his feel
ing of depression to one of 'antipathy,
was revealed yesterday when Chief-of-Police
George Wilson and Officer W. E.
Tyler made a visit to Whitingham at the
request of Joseph Marino, an Italian,
whose home is in New York city, and
found Mrs. Marino living contentedly
with one of Joe's countrymen.
For some time Mr. and Mrs. Marino
had been living in a tenement district in
New York city, when suddenly last May
Mrs. Marino left her home in the
metropolis with Joe's fellow country
man, without leaving any word for Joe.
The counle came to Whitingham. where
Mrs. Marino s new companion secured a
job with the construction company.
building the earth dam there. They
picked out a Cosy little shack half-way
up the mountainside near the dam, where
for several months the couple have been
living together. '
In some manner, news of the couple's
whereabouts trickled back to Joe in
New York city, and yesterday he made
all haste to Brattleboro, where he laid
the matter before Chief Wilson. In
company with the two local officers, Joe
went to Whitingham in the hope of
meeting his lost wife. After reaching
Whitingham the officers searched dili
gently and found the shack where the
couple were living and just as they ap-?
proached the domicile they saw Mrs.
Marino coming out. of an orchard on the
mountainside, carrying almost two bu
shels of apples in a bag on her head.
Joe was all smiles as he saw his wife
approaching, but his facial expression
changed to one of dismay and repugnance
as he obtained a nearer view of her.
And Joe returned to Brattleboro, a sad
der -bufc wisei'' man.- -
Constable Hal G. Reid of Jacksonville
was called, and he opined that the mat
ter was a case for the state's attorney,
and as the other two officers joined in
this opinion the matter was turned over
to State's Attorney Harold E. Whitney
for disposition. The state's attorney
plans to make an investigation.
When Mrs. Marino left her husband
she also left two small children. A
week after she left, both children were
taken seriously ill and the youngest is
still in a hospital in New York.
TROLLEY REST HOUSE
MIGHT BE MOVED
Mrs. Fuller Thinks it Obstructs View
More than Shrubs at Corner of
Canal and Tine Streets.
Editor of The Reformer:
Dear Sir: I noticed in The Reformer
a suggestion made tc the Meddler that
the shrubs should be cut away, on the
Fuller place, as it was called, at the
corner of Canal and Pine streets. I pre
sume the writer was not aware of the
fact that the soil of that corner is clay,
and that Gov. Fuller in grading the bank
on Pine street had the bank slip down
into Pine street twice. He then planted
trees and shrubs, and so far they have
held the bank by their roots. The trees
have been cut down in some cases and
the limbs cut off by the trolley company.
Onlv a few shrubs have been left.
The greatest obstruction to the view is
the "Trolley Rest House," which is on
the corner while the passengers have to
go some distance on Pine street to enter
or leave the car. If that structure could
Ik moved further on Pine street the auto
mobile drivers would have a clear view
up Canal and Maple streets.
Before m day there was a brickyard
on the corner of Mrs. Sullivan's place.
It was located there because clay was so
plentiful. Our village is so burdened
with taxes now that if the clay banks
are opened up the highway expenses will
be increased.
It is a pity that so many feel it a duty
to hurry around a corner when driving.
Yonrs verv truly.
ABBY E. FULLER.
