DROWNING ACCIDENT
Raymond g. House Loses Life
ct Mouth Of the River.
Alfred Desmorc Rescued BY Finer
RoOt-t3Oys Were In swimming
Question a. 10 What Caused
Accident.

| A days picnic resulted in the death by
drowning Sunday of Raymond Carl
House, the 12-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Newton j.. House of is North street
and n narrow escape from a similar fate
to Alfred Dcsmorc, the 13-ycar-old son
of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Desmore Of Ward
street.
| Shortly before noon Sunday MIR. and
Mrs. House, with II party of twelve start
cd out to enjoy n days outing. They ar
rived at spot n short distance from the
mouth of the river where Henry Spears
cottage is located and prepared lunch
After they had eaten their meal they
wandered out in various directions and
engaged in different forms of pastimc.
! House and Dcsmore decided to so in swim
ming both boys being able to swim. The
river at this point Is quite deep and full
of weeds. In n short time Elmer Root
of IS Drew street. who was one of the
party heard DcsmOrc call for help lie
stripped off his clothing and went into
tho river. Dcsmorc had gone down for
the second time when Root seized him and
brought him to shore. The party then
began to look for young House but could
not find him. They notified Joseph Der
way, who has farm at the top OF the
hill, and he with Joseph Bissoncttc, who
was in the vicinity, at once began search
ing for the body with graphing irons.
The boy was last sccn at 2:3O O'Clock and
the alarm was given about 10 minutes
afterwards The body was discovered ly
Mr. Dcrway and was taken ashore. Mr.
Dcrway Immediately notified Chief of
Police Russell of the affair, who in turn
notified DR.. Latour. The chief went To
the scene and took charge of affairs until
the health officer arrived. Upon the ar
rival of the latter the body was taken to
the home OF the boys parents by Mr.
Derway. The funeral occurred Tues
day afternoon.
1t is difficult to determine what caused
the accident Both boys could swim and
the current in the river at this point is
not swift. 1t is probable that they be-
came entangcd in the weeds or were
taken with cramps.

mcnced n warfare against the so-caled
pot hunters and fishermen by forming
a protective fish and game league. So
far good results have followed. The
association has been In existence less
than six months and we understand
that already between $500 and 500 in
fines have been collected from hunters
and fishermen who have disresarded the
laws. This clearly illustrates the whole
sale slaughter of fish and game through
out tho state. Every county should have
its protective fish and game league OFF,

PAID FOR THEIR SHORT TROUT.
It has just come to light that e. F..
winchcll.. license commissioner Of the
city Of North Adams and T.. A. Bry-
ant, a we'll known dry goods merchant
of that city, came TO Benning ton
quietly on circus day and paid their
fines for catching short trout IN SIAM
ford several weeks ago. This is an
other victory for Game Warden Harry
Chase who hunted up the evidence and
pushed the case. According to the
complaint the men after being caught
with the short trout agreed to come
back and settle but did not. The fine
was So per trout and amounted to $40
and costs in one case and $40 and costs
in the other.

A Vermont Family That Can't Meet
 Death In Bed.
 ST. ALBANS, Vt. Sept. S-No fewer than eight suicides have taken place in the Ricard family of Highgate Gore, the latest being that of Charles Ricard in Franklin. The suicide mania has extended down through four genera tions. About fifty years ago there liv- ed in Highgate Gore two brothers. Mark and John Ricard. well to do and respected citizens. Mark was the fla ther of two sons, Js,emy and David. Mark committed suicide by hanging in the orchard forty years or SO ago. Ten or fifteen years later his son David killed himself in the same fashion. and later Jeremy, Congregational deacon took paris green. Of old John Ricard's five sons Holmes Ricard is the onl. one alive.
 Noah, after trying to hang himsel twice. cut his throat. His brother Pc ter cut not only his throat, but ths arteries and veins in his ankles. Lot. another brother, died a natural death. but the death of John. Jr., in Massa- chusetts, while not definitely known to have been the result of his OVID hand, was considered so.
 Now Charles Ricard, grandson of the original John. has hanged himself in his Franklin orchard, while four years ago his soI Wilbur. great-grandson of John, drowned himself. 'stf

Substance of New Anglo-Jnpaness
 Treaty Cabled to Washington.

Substance of New AngIo-Jnpaness
 Treaty Cabled to Washington.
 LONDON, Sept. S.-The substance of the new Anglo-Japanese treaty has been communicated by the British for, eign office to the state department at Washington through the ambassador of Great Britain, Sir Mortimer Durand.
 A Paris dispatch says that although copies of the Anglo-Japanese treaty have not yet reached the powers, it's principal changes from the former treaty are known in diplomatic and of ficial quarters. One of the highest of these informs the press that the princi- pal new features are the following:
 First.-The provision in the old treaty making the alliance applicable only to the Chinese littoral is changed so that the new provision makes the alliance applicable to all Asia up to the line crossing Persia from north to south, indicated by the fifty-irst degree of east longitude.
 The significance of this change is the inclusion of India, where Great Britain and Russia have interests. and also In- do-China, where France has suspected Japan of having designs This modi- fication tends to preserve the present status quo of French authority in In- do-China and the status quo in India.
 Second.-The provision in the old treaty making the alliance operative if either ally is attacked by two pow CTS is changed so that the alliance be- comes effective when either is attacked by one power.
 Third.-The primary underlying prin- ciple of the treaty is defensive and the maintenance of existing conditions.
 The foregoing changes cannot be stated as official or authoritative, but they are given with positiveness by those in position to have accurate knowledge.

WOMAN STARVING
Unusual Case Causes Quibbling Bee
 tween Police and Board.

New Haven, Sept S.-For thirty-six hours Mrs Mary a1oriarty of Barclay street has sat on the hard wooden bench in the womans lookup at police headquarters without mouthful of food or drink passing her lips. She IS thought to be insane and 1t is the de- sire of the department of charities that she be sent to Middletown, where once before she was confined. Her case is one of the strangest that has been heard of ill some time. It seems that the woman is suffering on account O misunderstanding between two cirs departments, the board of charities and corrections and the department Of police.
 Mrs Moriarity was taken to police headquarters on Wednesday afternoon at o'clock in the patrol wagon and at the complaint, the police say, of Clerk George Rowe of the board of charities. Her name was not entered on the slate and to Sergeant Tighe, who was on duty. Mir Rowe said that he wished the woman sent back to Middletown and that he would appear before the court on the case yesterday morning. He did not appear and as consequence the woman has remained in the lookup since. She refuses all food. She weeps at times and again laughs hysterically. She slept Wednesday and last night, but her rest was disturbed on both nights by other women prisoners. There is no arrangement at headquar- ters for the isolation or proper care of the insane.
 The chief claims they are not respon- sibIe for the woman not having peer arraigned in city court and that it Tas case for the board of charities to look after.
 The charities department claims that complaints of the woman's actions were received Tuesday and Dr Me Dermott sent out to investigate the case. Mrs Moriarity barricaded her doors and refused to admit the physl- elan. This was reported back to the department and Mir Rowe then asked Captain Tripp to arrest Mrs Moriarity. The captain referred the matter to headquarters. The board of charities seems to think that their duty ended after they had notified the police and Mr Rowe put in no appearance at city court yesterday.
 The department of charities claims if it took the case to the probate court it would cost the city $25. While the two departments are quibbling the lit tie sad-eyed woman sits patiently in the lookup waiting for proper care and refusing the lookup fare.
 Mrs Moriarity's husband is blind and an inmate of Springside home. The whereabouts of their six children are not known to the police.
