SHOE WORKERS WIN
BEFORE STATE BOARD
Massachusetts, Manufacturers Are Or
dered to Grant Wage Increase.

HAVERHILL, Mass, April 5.-For
the first time since the union stamp
agreement was signed between the
shoe manufacturers and the Boot and
and Shoe Workers union here arbitra-
ton by the state board has been in
voked, and has resulted in victory for
the cutters, who had asked for an in
crease in their wages. Nearly 500 cut
tiers in local union stamp factories will
pc benefited.
The arbitrament came about by the
demand of the cutters employed by the
firm of Chesley & Rugg two months
ago that a minimum weekly wage scale
of SIS be established for nine hour
day, or $16.50 for a ten-hour day. The
state board recommends a working
schedule of fifty-nine hours per week;
outside cutters an increase Of so cents
per week, or a weekly scale Of $3.50;
trimming cutters $12.75 per week, an
increase of IS cents.
Every one of the eleven stamp fac
tories in Haverhill is affected by the
recommendations.

MICHIGAN TURNS
ON COACH YOST
Wolverine Professor Joins
President Jordan i'm
Finding Fault.

CHICAGO, April 5.-Charges that
Coach Yost has sinned against the
spirit of amateur athletics were public
ly made by President David Starr Jor-
dan, Of Leland Stanford university. The
name of Gregory, Michigans star cen
ter rush, was linked with the accusa-
ton against Yost. President Jordan
went SO far in his statement as to
call the employment of Yost a sin,
and he did not hold his own univer-
sity sinless.
The sensational remarks of the pres
fdent of Leland Stanford were made
before $50 university and high school
educators, who were in attendance at
the annual meeting of the North Cen
trail Association of Colleges and Sec
ondary Schools at Cobb hall, Univer-
sity of Chicago.
The discussion of a paper by Prof.
G. A. Waldo, of Purdue university, on
the regulation of athletics in colleges,
What Next?" brought President Jor-
dan to the floor. In the audience which
President Jordan addressed were Prof.
e. N. Scott, of the University of Mich
igan.
Il have the permission of the Mich
igan representative at this meeting to
say word" said President Jordan aft
er some preliminary remarks. LAS
coach after Walter Camp at Leland
Stanford university we had two other
Yale men, Cross and Chamberlain, who
were good college sportsmen, but they
did not win games
Then we had Yost. What I want
to get at is an Illustration. A young
fellow came from the mines. He was
not prepared in his studies to enter
the university, but he showed an inter-
est in his mining subjects, and was
admitted as a special student. He could
not pass any entrance examination,
and did not pass in any of his work
after admission, and so he dropped out.
''Yost went to Michigan. This young
man went on to Michigan, and has been
the center around which YOst has built
up a strong team. He has played
through two seasons, fifteen games or
so.
'All of us who have ever had Yost,
or any Yostlike men about us, are not
to be counted as sinless. The faculty
has duties to perform. 1t is impossible
to do away with men like Gregory I'M
less we do away with other idlers."
After the remarks of President Jor-
dan, Prof. Scott, of Michigan, said:
THE case of Gregory has not come I'M
der my ken. But there is another man
on the Michigan team whom I am
going to keep off next year, if ] can, be-
cause he is plainly not eligible as
student. He is in the rhetoric depart
ment, and I know of my own knowl-
edge that he has no right to uniVer-
sity standing. After DR.. Jordan had
finished 1 intended to speak, but the
time for adjournment was near at hand.
The football inter ests have carried
everybody away. This meeting is
epochmakng. 1t is the first revolt on
the part of teachers in the colleges
against the domination of athletics. L
look for great things to come from it"

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, April 5.-The
report that President Hickey, of the
American association has induced Can
tillon to hold Charley Reilly, of Los An
geles, to his contract with the Milwaukee
team is not credited by President Lucas.
Hickey in his room at the Palace
hotel" Mr.. Lucas is quoted as saying, lin
the presence of McCloskey, Harry Hart
myself, and some others, told US we could
sign any association players who were
then in California. Any act such as the
papers have said Hickey has taken would
be a violation of Hickey's word. Reilly
told me that Cantillon made him an offer
to play with the Milwaukee team, and he
replied that if he went East this season
he would play with CantiIlon.
Reilly is located in Los Angeles, where
he has business interests, and I do not

him, he went to the house to see why

After searching through the whole

barn. There. he said, in a stall, he
found his wife lying on her face in a
pool of blood.
Shocking Sight Found in the Stable.
An investigation showed that the
woman had been murdered in the most
shocking manner. Her throat was cut
from ear to ear and there were five
wounds on the back of her head Be
sides crushing her skull, the murderer
had Knocked her down with his fist, as
both her eyes were blackened and
swollen and her nose broken; she also
had bad bruise on her forehead.
There were evidences of a struggle.
When the stable was searched long
iron bar and hatchet were found, both
covered with her blood and hair.
The murderer wiped his blood stain
ed hands on the wall of the stable and
left his finger prints on the door which
he pushed open to make his escape.
and upon the fence where he jumped
over. He was tracked by a posse to
the woods near by, where the trail was
lost.
AT first the crime was thought to be
a case of felonious assault, but later
this theory was dispelled.
Collins said his wife had $50 in the
rocket of her dress, which he had told
her to take to the field with her fearing
it would be stolen from the house in
their absence. The pocket was torn
from her dress, which, it was at first
believed, substantiated the theory that
robbery was the object of the crime.
Mrs. Collins was one of the most
handsome and most popular women of
the neighborhOod. and the feeling a.
gainst the murderer was very bitter.
Collins was arrested upon returning
from the funeral. He was released on
nominal bail, the suspicion being that
demented negro had committed the |
deed, which, in fact, he confessed. |
Collins was indicted bv

legree, and was rearrested.
