WILL DECLARE WAR
AGAINST THE TRUST

Cincinnati, O., Dec 1.-Great interest
is taken in the meeting here this week
of the United States Spirits Associa-
ton, as it is expected war will be de-
clared against the Standard Distilling
Company.
The United States Spirits Association
is the distributing agent of spirits ana
alcohol. and is under contract with the
Standard Distilling Co, one of the con-
Germs composing the distilling compa-
MES of America. "the whiskey trust to
take its entire output.
The spirits association is an indie
pendent organization, but mutual in
terests make it desirable that they
work in unison. The spirits associa-
ton meets annually with representa-
tives of the Standard Distilling Co. to
agree upon prices and to contract for
the output of the latter company
The output of the Standard Distill-
ing Co. amounts to about 40000,000 gal
Ions a year. The recent advance rep
resents $4,000 The distributors claim
that the rise in corn was not SUFFICIENT
to justify the last advance.

Largest Blocks in FitChburg
STARTLING DISCOVERY
BY WIFE OF VICTIM
She Found Her Husbands Life
less Body With Head Caught
Between the Fifth Floor and the
Top of the Cage of the Elevate
Mrs. Brown in Mysteries

! special to The spy.
Fftchburg, Dec. IL. C. Brown, aged 65
years, formerly of Leominster, employed
as janitor of the Safety Fund Bank
building, was found dead at 1906 tonight
with his head caught between the fifth
floor and the top of the cage of the ele-
vator by his wife
Mrs. Brown was waiting on the sixth
floor where the couple lived, for Mr..
Brown to return from the floors below,
after putting out. the lights and locking
up for the night, and as the hour had
passed when he usually came, she started
out to find him. She started to walk
down the stairs, and saw the lighted ele-
vator near the fifth floor and a moment
later discovered her husbands lfeless
body.
Running down the remaining four flights
to the street. screaming for assistance,
she was answered by Chief of Police
Ktnsley, who was on his way home from
the police station Chief Kinsley blew
the police signal on his whistle, and. ac-
companied by H. S. Foss who was pass
ing by, went to the scene of the accident
but they could not release the body.
officer c. H. Brown, who had responded
to his chiefs call, was dispatched to the
central fire station for iron bars. He was
accompanied back by Capt. George f.
Jefts of Chemical /. and the lock on the
door to the elevator well on the fourth
floor was forced. Capt. Jefts climbed
into the well, and reaching the lever that
controlled the power of the elevator
started the car up sufficiently to release
the body.
Medical Examiner F. II. Thompson
viewed the body and ordered it removed
to the undertaking rooms Of H. O. & H.
l.. Sawyer.
1t is thought there was some trouble
with the elevator which caused the water
to leak so that it started down of its own
accord. Mr.. Brown probably never dis
covered this fact, and, returning to the
elevator, reached in and by miscalcula-
ton pulled the lever the wrong way
starting it down instead of up. as the
lever to the elevator was in a position in
dicating that it had been thrown in that
direction. The elevator runs to the fifth
floor only, and on the fifth floor an empty
milk bottle was found.
Mrs Brown is nearly Frustrated over
the accident and in a hysterical condi-
ton. Her sister, living in Leominster,
was sent for and arrived at a late hour

told him his brother was very i'll at
his laundry in jefferson. He gave him
the keys to the laundry and told him
to drive out there, he himself taking

and drove to jefferson. Two China
men accompanied him, and when they
reached the laundry found Chin F.
Hong dead. They at once notified MI
