FOUL PLAY
Man Supposed To Have
Been Drowned
IN LAKE cHAMpLAIN
Is Now Thought to Have Been
Murdered

Vergennes, March 2S. There is
now grave suspicion that the mystic
rious disappearance of William Hodg.
kins Of Westport, N. Y, who left
Basin Harbor Sunday afternoon to
cross the lake on the ice and has not
been seen since, is due, not to drown
ing, but to murder.
OF course, various theories are in
the air, but it is worthy of note that
the spot where bis overcoat and cap
we're found was a hole in the ice a
mile and half out of the way Of the
route he would take from Basin Har-
Dor to his home in Westport. This
hole was the only place where he could
have got into the water, and hence
would be the very place the body
would be taken to for concealment If
he had been murdered.
1t is not improbable that the muir
derer or murderers dragged his body
to this hole and sank it and then left
his overcoat and cap in sight to give
the impression that he had drowned.
This again is strengthened by the
fact that if he had fallen into the
water with his overcoat on, he would
not have been able to get it OIL, and
he certainly would not have taken 1t
off before he fell in.
Another fact that lends color to the
suspi ian Of foul play is that MIR.
Hodgkins had between $500 and $500
with MIN when he left for his home
SUNDAY afternoon.
Tue New York officers are working
up the case and it is said that party
of fishermen near Westport are under
close watch.

THE M'KlNLEY ARCH.

subscriptions to BE Returned,

Washington, Dec. 1O.-The William
Mckinley National Memorial Arch as
sociation has determined to change
its plan of operation so as to appeal
to congress instead of the public for
the erection of the proposed McKin-
ley memorial at Washington.
Secretary Gage offered a resolution
to the effect that as the trustees OF
the association reported that a can
vass of the country for subscriptions
to the proposed memorial arch in
Washington will be prejudicial If not
destructive to the erection Of a proper
monument or memorial over the re-
mains of the late president at Can
ton, that the committee give up its
appeal to the country for popular
contributions for the memorial arch
in Washington and turn its efforts to
secure from congress an appropria-
tion from the public treasury suffi-
cent in amount to erect in Washing
ton a memorial which, in fitting
manner, shall represent the nations
appreciation of the noble character
and distinguished public services of
William Mckinley. The resolution
was adopted. The association will
be reincorporated and contributions
received by the association for the
proposed memorial arch will be re-
turned.

tion to the department that carriers

Mr.. McElfresh is built on a generous,
Grover Cleveland style Of architecture
and when he attempted to enter
Carrier Stowitt's wagon he could
not make it. Finally ty taking his
bearings and new measurements he
worked it on an edgewise plan. 1t is
not recorded how he got out-he got
to town after dark. At any rate he
will recommend that wagon doors be
made larger.
Mr., McEfresh complimented the
route highly, saying it was one Of the
best he has inspected. The boys
shoot at the mail boxes badly on this
route and there may be an arrest.
To deface the boxes is penitentiary
