A TRAINERS DEATH
OAKLAND. Jan. 15.-The local au-
thorities are closely investigating the
death of Joseph Raeside, the trainer,
whose mangled corpse was found along
side the railroad track at Shell Mound
yesterday. there being a strong sus-
picion that he was murdered and his
body placed upon thxtrack for the pur-
pose of destroying all traces of the crime.
It is known that on Thursday last Rae
side won $500 on Ricardo, and that he
cashed his tickets before going to sup
per, as he mentioned his good luck to
several of his associates and gave some
Of his winnings to boy who had been
riding for him. After supper he left his
boarding house, and nothing more was
seen of him until his mangled corpse was
discovered next morning, when only a
few pieces of silver were found in his
pockets. 1t Is the theory of the police
that Raeside was killed and robbed by
race-track touts who knew of his win
nings.

OLD WAGE SCHEDULES
HAVE CEASED TO OPERATE IN
NEW ENGLAND
Workers at New Bedford Will Strike
Monday Morning-Ten Thou
sand Hands Go Out

BOSTON, Jan. 15.-The operatives In
over half a hundred cotton mills in the
New England states ceased to be paid
under the old schedule Of prices when
they left their work today. On Monday
morning the general policy Of the manu-
facturers to reduce wages will be in ef-
feet in nearly every mill center in the
six states. The reduction will then be-
come operative in the cotton mills OF
New Bedford, Lowell, Pawtucket and
Blackstone valley, in Rhode Island and
in the states OF Maine and New Hamp-
shire.
The Fall River mills. with the excep-
ton Of three corporations, cut wages
earlier in the month, as did also the
Amoskeag company Of Manchester. and
a number Of smaller places
New Bedford continues to be the storm
center. The indications tonight are
that all the cotton mills in that city will
be silent for some time to come. the
employees having decided almost unani-
mously not to go to work under the lower
wage schedule.
The attempts of the state board Of ar
bitration to bring about compromise
have failed.
The New Bedford mill hands will be
supported by other centers. The OPP
eratives in the Biddeford mills have
voted to stay out Monday. and it is pos
sible that several minor strikes will oc-
cur in other places. A portion of the
Queen City mill hands at Burlington.
VT, are already out. Today notices OF
a 10 per cent reduction were posted at
the Atlantic and Pacific corporations at
Lawrence, and news from that city
states that the other cotton mills there
will undoubtedly follow. The Law
renee mills are the last to come into the
line. They employ about 300 hands.
The reduction In most Of the New Eng
land mills amounts either to 10 or 11-19
per cent.
A STRIKE CERTAIN
NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Jan. 15.--
Nothing, apparently, can prevent

All attempts at adjusting the differences
between manufacturers and operatives
have failed.
numbering 1929 hands, will be forced
into idleness, and 875,S00 spindles and
q, ,s15 looms will be hushed.
The operatives were paid today in all
the mills for last weeks work. Pay day
for this weeks work will be next Satur-
day, and a significant fact, and one
showing that the manufacturers intend
to insist on the 10 per cent reduction II
that all the cloth was removed from the
rolls in several Of that mills, that the
operatives may be paid on the old sched-
ule.
Tomorrow the strike committee OF the
various labor organizations will meet to
draw up plans for the big battle which
will begin on Monday. All labor organ
izations in the country will be asked to
help out the strikers in this city. The
weavers will place pickets at every mill
gate. and unfair hands will probably be
roughly dealt with.

To.night,s neavy.weight Contest.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-James ]. Cor
bett and Thomas Sharkey will box
twenty rounds at the Lenox Athletic
Club tonight for purse of 800, 900, the
winner to take $4,000 and the loser
S., 900. So far the sale of seats has
been enormous and the building will be
packed. The fear of police interference
has been dispelled and unless the men
resort TO rough tactics the fight will
continue to the limit or until one of the
men wins. The majority ofsportipg men
pick Corbett as winner, basing their
belief on the fact that Sbarkey will not
be able to land an effective blow; that
ne will lose his head and foul, or the
fight will go the full twenty rounds and
Corbett will win on points. To sum it
up, they think science and headwork,
represented by Corbett, will win over
brute force, as represented by Sharkey.
Sharkey's admirers, however, think he
will wear Corbett out with his furious
rushes and then end him with one OF
his terrific punches.
Corbett remains the favorite to-day at
100 to so. He will probably weigh 1S3
pounds when he steps into the ring to-
night and Sharkey 178. The fight will
begin about 1920 Joe Kelly will be
the referee. Both the principals are
spending the afternoon quietly at their
respective quarters, resting before the
fray.

JUDGE WADDILL'S CLERKS.
Judge Waddill. district Judge of tn

Eastern District of Virginia, called at
the Treasury Department yesterday to
ascertain the status of the clerks of his
court. There are three clerks of the
court, each of which has held his posi-
ton for years, and now they have dis
covered chat there is provision for
only one clerk of the court, and no one
seems 30 know which OF the three
clerks is the clerk. During the civil
war the Confederates and Federals took
turns in holding northern Virginia. In
those days the district court had no
fixed habitat, but travelled from place to
place as the progress of the war per-
mitted. Court was held at Norfolk
and Alexandria, and later at Richmond
The peregrinations of the dis
trict judge were continued after the
war, and are still going on. AS it was
impossible to shift the offices Of the
court and the clerk of the court every
time the Judge moved, an arrangement
was effected by which there was clerk
of the court at Alexandria, another at
Norfolk and a third at Richmond.
These three clerks have been perform
ing the functions usually attaching to
clerk of the court, and the legality of
their acts was never questioned until
the matter relating to their salaries
came up. The question of the legality
of their acts then arose, for if they can
not draw salaries they are not clerks of
the courts, and if they are not clerks of
the court they cannot act as such.
Judge Waddill will, therefore, ask that
Congress legallze their acts by special
legislation and that the question as to
who is the real clerk of the court be de-
cided. He hopes to have two clerks,
one at Norfolk and the other at either
Richmond or Alexandria. He says
that owing to the great number of sd-
miralty cases he cannot do without a
clerk at Norfolk all the time.
