SLIDES OF THE PURITANs!
rown Clerk and Treasurer of the Town of
Plymouth a Defaulter


Plymouth, Mass, Feb. 1.-THE an
nouncement to-day that Town Clerk
and Treasurer George S. Dyer had de-
faulted created great excitement, and
tonight nothing else is talked of. Town
Auditor James D. Thurber has been ex-
aniining the town books for several
days and was greatly surprised to find
a shortage Of $1O,240. The affair was
kept quiet until to-day, when the se-
lectmen, being sure Of the amount.
made it public. Mr.. Dyer resigned his
position last evening and B. F. Ward,
collector of taxes, was appointed treas
urer pro tempCre. 1t is not known
what became of the money but he is
thought to have been speculating in
stocks.
He was president of the New Eng
land Drug company, and that probably
took some funds. This afternoon the
towns amount of the dedication was
paid by relatives of Mr.. Dyer, his
bondsmen, James D. Thurber, William
S. Meyers, E. D. Hill, N. N. H. Hubbard
and Charles T. Holmes, not being call
ed upon. Mr.. Dyer will not talk on the
subject. When informed of the Short
age he was surprised and said:
II did not think that it was so
much"
The selectmen are meeting tonight,
and it is not known what will be done.
No arrest will be made. For some
time Dyer was treasurer of the Pilgrinl-
age church. Several years ago he was
in the insurance business in Brockton
and afterwards in this town. He was
clerk of the Old Colony National bank
and few years ago was elected town
clerk and treasurer, also a member of
the board of registration. Mr.. Dyer
is an ex-captain of the Standish Guard.
He is at his farm tonight with his wife
and family.

All ON BOARD LOST.
Probable Fate of the Fishing Schooner
Lizzie j. Greenleaf.

Lizzie j. Greenleaf.
Gloucester, Mass, Feb. 17.--Nothing
has been heard from the schooner Liz
zie' j. Greenleaf, Captain Peter Erick-
son, that sailed from this port Decem-
Der 80 to Grand Banks on a fresh hall
but trip, since the arrival of schooners
George Campbell and Gladiator, who
reported having seen her more than
three weeks ago, when she was bound
home with fare of $4,000 pounds of
halibut. For number of days the
friends of the crew anxiously awaited
her arrival, and when she did not re-
turn within the time usually occupied
in making such voyage, they conclud-
ed she must have been lost in the gale
OF January that did so much destruc-
ton to the fishing fleet
The owner entertained the hope that
she might have lost her sails and spars
and that the crew was rescued by some
passing vessels and in due time would
be heard from, but he has abandoned
all hope of her ever returning.
She carried a crew of eighteen men,
which was looked upon as one of the
best that ever sailed from this port, and
has as commander an experienced nav
igator, who had not only engaged in
Grand Banks fishing for many years,
but had made several voyages to the
Arctic regions after halibut, in which
hazardous undertaking he was most
successful. The Greenleaf was a fine
vessel and since built in Essex in 1888
has a1waVS hneO enpap ped in fhe fresh
halibut fishery. She was 1910 tons bur-
den, owned by Captain Nathaniel
Greenleaf, and valued at $500.

navy management last night received
official notice from Harvard of YaIe's
desire to enter the Cornell Harvard
race. meeting of the Cornell athletic
council was called this afternoon and
Harvard's request was acquiesced in.
Cornelrs answer to Harvard's request
is worded as follows:
I'VE are in receipt of the proposal of
the Harvard Boat club that Yale be
admitted to the Harvard Cornell race
of this year. We cordially accept this
proposal and proffer the counter re-
quest that the University of Pennsyl-
vania and Columbia be admitted to the
same race.
In case such an arrangement ba
made the date, July or June 20, will
be acceptable to Cornell for the race
The announcement of Cornelrs action
in the matter is joyously received here
and the fact that Cornell is to have
Yale as an antagonist has aroused en-
thusiasm, as it has for TWENTY-FIVE
years been Cornelps desire to row Yale.
The last race between Yale and Cor
nell took place in 1875 at Saratoga,
when Cornell was the victor over twelve
other crews. In 1891 the Cornell fresh.
men crew defeated the Yale and Penn
sylvania freshmen crews at New Lon
don.

to the Car Tracks in the Hope of Hiding
His Awful Crime.
South Norwalk, Feb. 1S.-The body of
a young Italian woman was found
about 1880 o'clock last night lying
partly across the tracks used by the
east bound trains on the Consolidated
road in cut about half a mile west
of the Saugatuck depot. The discovery
train coming to New Haven on the in
side track.
The bright moonlight shedding down
upon the tracks made the body plainly
visible, and the engineer of the freight
train, looking out of the window Of the
cab saw the body and brought the
train to stop.
The engineer knew that the passen-
ger train bound to New Haven was
soon due, and with the assistance of
the crew of the freight train the pas
senger train was tagged and brought
to O. stop within a few hundred rods OF
the body.
Conductor Daniel j. Manning of New
Haven was in charge of the passenger
train He had his train backed up and
il was run over another section of
tracks in order that the body might
not be disturbed until the medical eX-
aminer arrived.
An examination Of the body showed
that one side of the head had been
crushed in and the wounds on the race
and back of the head indicated that the
woman had been dubbed to death. One
of her arms was stretched across the
track and the head lay in such posi-
tion that if the passenger train had
passed over it all traces of the muir
| der would have been covered.
| The trainmen found a trail of blood
! leading off into the lots on one side of
the embankment and there were foot
prints following the blood trail far
across the lots Word was sent to
| Saugatuck and officer Allen of that
town arrived at the scene soon after
wards and word was communicated to
the police of South Norwalk, who in
turn brought Medical Examiner Burke
| to the scene
The woman is said to belong in West
port. She was an Italian woman, and
neatly dressed
| There seems TO be no doubt that the
woman was brutally beaten, and her
assaiants afterwards dragged her
across the lots into the railroad cut
and left her dead body to be ground
up by a passing train.
The body of the woman was brought
here and taken to an undertaking es-
tablishment, but no one could be found
to identify the remains.

sENAroH PLAr1,s AMENDMENT.



Washington, Feb. 1.-THE Indian ap-
preparation bill as reported to the SEN
ate carries an important amendment,
which is in substance the bill intro
duced by Senator Platt of Connecticut,
to reorganize the territory by providing
for the distribution of the land in sew
crafty among the members of the five
civilized tribes, who occupy the terri
tory. By the terms of the amendment
no reservation is made of lands for
white men in the territory, who num-
Der. it is said. $4,000 more than the In
dians.
1t is claimed that the amendment, if
it becomes finally incorporated in the
bill, will work a practical forfeiture
or revocation of the land grant made
ton the old Union Pacific souther
branch, now the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas railroad. 1t is alleged that it
will interfere seriously with leases of
coal lands. The house passed a bill
last session for the reorganization of
the territory, which made provision for
the white residents, but it has not yet
been acted on by the senate.
