spot where Stuart Pierson, the Ken
yon College student, was ground to
death by a train, the authorities have
found three lengths Of bloodstained
rope and wad of absorbent cotton,
also saturated with blood
County Prosecutor Stillwell expresses
the firm belief that the boy was chlo-
reformed. the cotton saturated, bound
across his face, and that then he was
tied across the tracks as part Of his
initiation into the college fraternity.
The authorities believe that the cotton
was removed later and the boy left stu
pefied.
On these grounds. the prosecutor will
carry the case to the grand jury, Nov.
IL. Prosecutor Stillwell stated, today,
that several persons are under surveil-
lance in connection with the case and
that they may be taken into custody
before the conclusion of the inquest.
The inquest into the death of young
Pierson was begun here, today, be-
hind closed doors by Prosecutor c, l..
Stillwell.
Most important of the DEVELOPMENTS
was the admission by DR.. Irwin Work.
man, physician of Kenyon College, that
he believed the lad was lying between
the tracks when the engine struck him.
At the beginning Of the hearing Rob-
ert n. Greer, attorney for President
Pierce of Kenyon College and for GER
tain Of the fraternity there, attempted
to gain admittance to the court ROOM
He was elected and at once left the
court.
Neither President Pierce nor any Of
the college men responded to their sub
poenaS. but they are expected later in
the hearing.
The father of the dead boy will be
summoned to testify later in the in
quest
IF you 90 not cease your prosecution

Made by the New Battle
ship Rhode Island.
Average Of 1888 Knots, With
Spurt at 1888 Gait.
Fairly Good Conditons..-The Board Pleased
With Maine Course.

R0ckland, Me-, Nov "A new speed
record for American battleships was
established, today, blythe Rhode Island
on her official Standardization trial
trin over the measured mile course off
Owls Head, during which she covered
one mile at a rate of 1888 knots an
hour. Another mile was made in 1927,
while the average for the II runs over
the course was 1898 knots an hour.
The contract of the builders, the Fore
River Shipbuilding Co, called for a
sneed of IS knots, and the showing
made by the vessel, which is the larg-
est American battleship in readiness
for service, was most satisfactory, not
only to the trial board but to her
builders.
1t was demonstrated by the trial that
125.75 revolutions would give the Rhode
Island her contract speed of - knots,
and as 126 revolutions were attained
during the runs, today, it is expected
that ir the four hours endurance test,
run back to Boston, the contract speed
will be reached without difficulty.
The Rhode Island will leave, at 8
o'clock, tomorrow. in the morning. and
will probably begin her test when off
Monhcgan.
The trial, today. was made under
fairly good conditions, the sea being
quite smooth, although a stiff breeze
from the northwest blew diagonally
across the course, which runs about
north and south.
The Rhode Island started out at $40
o'clock. this morning, and for an hour
ran UP and down the bay in order to
get everything running smoothly. With
her propellers making 120 revolutions a
minute, the big warship was headed
for the course about $50 O'Clock and
made the first mile at a rate of 1912
knots an hour. The speed was gradu-
ally increased until at the fourth trial.
with 126 revolutions, a speed of 1888
knots an hour, the maximum, was at
tanned. Eight other runs followed, sew
cral of which were over 10 knots. There
was very little vibration and the turns
were made easily.
The condenser which bothered the
engine room gang during the past few
days, gave no trouble. today. in fact
everything worked with great smooth
ness. Rear Admiral F. NJ. Bowles, re-
tired. the president of the company.
was on board. +. o. Wellington was in
charge of the ship. while F. E. Edwards
looked after the engine room.
The trial board expressed themselves
as being pleased with the Owls Head
course and stated that four other bat
tIeships now nearing completion would
be sent over the same course during
the next three months. The Virginia
will be tried on Nov IS; the Louisiana
on Nov. rs; the New Jersey in Decent
Der, and the Connecticut in January.

Rights at Bay ofIs|ands?

men Chased by the Fiona.
Threatened With Seizure and on Rstun
Refused Clearance Papers.

st. Johns. N. F., Nov. 2--Another Sc
rious complication arose, yesterday, in
the herring fishery situation at Bay of
Islands, when the steamer Active, car

proceeding outside the three-mile limit
ard there transfer the fishermen to
American fishing vessels on which they
would ship as members Of the crews.
The colonial cruiser Fiona chased the
Active and threatened her with seiz-
ure is she went beyond the three-mile
limit without clearance papers. The Ac-
tive thereupon returned. The customs
authorities refuse to grant clearance
papers to the steamer except for a bona
fide voyage. The Americans are indig-
nant and threaten to appeal to WASH
ington for a warship. The British cruis-
