New Strong Man.

Clarence Sidney Verrill, son of Profess
Or Verrill of Yale, has broken the strength
record made by Charles Chadwick, Yale's
big football player. Chadwick broke the
strength record of Lowering, the Harvard
champion, of 1928 kilos, Chadwick's total
being 1,63S. Verrill's total is 1876.
Verrill excelled in strength of back and
upper arms, Chadwick in legs and hand
grip, while Coverings strength was more
evenly distributed than that of either Yer
rill or Chadwick. The strength tests were
supervised by Dr. Jay w. Seaver, physical
director of the Yale gymnasium. Verrill
is a Scientific school freshman and weighs
only 145 pounds. The physicians consider
him the most remarkable man physically
they have ever examined. Chadwick
weighs 17s pounds, and is almost twice
Verrill's size.

FRED RAZOR FOUND
The Weapon That Mangled
Aged Cashiers Throat.
Both the Blade and Case Were
S.neared With Blood.
Murderer Was Arraigned at S0mersworth This
Morning--His First Night In Jail.

Somersworth. n. H., April 24.-Josepr
Kelley's razor. with which he cut Cashier
Stickney's throat after telling him with
q blackjack, and for which a persistent
search had been made in DR.. Hayes
orchard, where Kelley temporarily de-
posted his bag OF plunder has at last
been found.
Constable William Rich Of Berwick.
who figured prominently in the chase
for the fugitive, discovered the weapon
Thursday night, but he kept the matter
a secret till last evening, when it leaked
out.
While undergoing an examination in
Chief Carpenters Office I'm Montreal Kel-
ley said he threw the razor away in
DIR. Hayes orchard. This information
was telegraphed to the Somersworth
officers that night, and all the next day
a searching party hunted among leaves,
dry grass and underbrush, but all to no
avail. Deputy Sheriff Mcdaniel and
Constable Rich started out to try their
luck at razor hunting. 1t is presumed
that the information on which their
search was based was little more def
mite than that which prompted the pre-
vious quests. AT any rate, they had been
out with their lanterns a very short
time when Constable Rich found the
much wanted weapon in the gutter of a
little house occupied by James Robinson.
The house faces Winter street, but it's
rear is near private way known as
Pages lane The roof Of the house is
only two or three feet above bowlder
at the end of this lane. II was in Pages
lane that Joe Kelley hitched his horse
on that fatal Friday noon, when he went
into the Hayes orchard after his bag OF
gold and silver. Whether Kelley threw
the razor from the place where his horse
was fastened and il lodged i'm the caves
Of the Robinson house, or whether he de-
liberately placed 1t there, is not matter
of general knowledge.
The razor was in a case, and both the
weapon and the case were smeared with
blood. The edge was badly nicked,
showing where ii had come in contact
with the spinal column of the victim
The matter OF settling the reward, Of
fered by the bank for the capture of the
murderer of Cashier Stiekney, is now
interesting almost as many as the mur-
der did. Opinion is divided, some hold
ing that Montreal officers should have
the larger portion, others that the Ash
ton woman is entitled to nearly all OF
It, and others that the reward belongs
to the local officers. The bank directors
rlet yesterday afternoon and talked over
the matter, but reached no decision. 1t
was stated, however. that the award
would not be Immediately settled.

SECRETARY LONGS PLANS.
WAR VESSELS BOOKED TO BE PUT
OUT OF COMMISSION.
Economy to Be Practiced as Far as Possible
In the Department OF War.

Boston, April 24-Seeretary of the
visit to his home. When asked whether
1t was true that he intended to make
the Charlestown yard a construction
and repair yard instead of simply an
equipment station, as has been rumored
Secretary Long said:
In order to do that, congress must
provide the necessary appropriation for
dry dock of sufficient size to meet
the requirements OF our new large ships
Some small vessels can be repaired in
the present dock, but think 1t is agreed
on all sides that the first requisite is
large dry dock, of sufficient capacity
TO meet modern necessities. Naval
authorities have long been of the opinion
that the New England coast, important
as it is. commercially. and lying at the
very point of attack from foreign shores,
should have such dock. presume 1t
is only a question of time when it will
be built.
II have been trying to practice econ
omy as far as possible in the department.
In small way. we have begun retrench-
ment. An example is the consolidation
into one OF the offices of appointment
clerk and chief clerk. Mr.. Peters now
attends to the duties of both with no
trouble. The office of weigher OF coal
at the Washington navy yard, has been
abolished.
'The laying off of such vessels as are
not needed for any particular purpose
means a great saving. The Katahdin
has been put out of commission, and the
Columbia will be laid off soon. The
Minneapolis will also be laid off, and the
monitor Amphitrite. When in active
service. these vessels consume a tre-
mondous amount of coal, and are very
expensive"
