Besides Shooting Result
In Death Of Henry Tracy
Autopsy Does Not Show BuI-
let Wounds Caused Death.
Harrison CorIsss Held Pending lnvesti.
cation Of WaisfieId, VI, Tragedy.

Waitsfield, VT, Oct. 26.-The autopsy
over the body of Henry Tracy, who
was found yesterday morning dead by
roadside in North FaystOn, with four
bullet wounds in his head and trunk,
was held today under the direction of
DR.. B. Il. Howe, health officer Of this
village, assisted by DR.. Stone of Bur-
lington. According to DR.. Howe the eX-
animation did not show cOnclusively
that the mans death was due to the
bullet wounds. His heart, kidneys and
lungs We're found to be in n weakened
and diseased condition, such as might
be caused by excessive use of liquor,
and though the wounds he received
We're undoubtedly contributory cause
of his death, they are not regarded as
the sole cause.
The examination indicated that Tracy
was under the influence Of liquor on
Wednesday night when the shooting
took place. 1t is believed that while
driving along the road in a wagon. he
became stupefied and losing his bal
ance. fell from the wagon near the
farm house of Benjamin Corless, the
father of Harrison Corless, the 17-year-
shooting.
According to the story told by young
CCrless and coroborrated by others Of
the Corless family the boy heard
strange sounds that evening proceeding
from a point in the woods down the
road from his home and believing the
sounds We're made by some wild ami
mails he went into the house got shot
gun. His brother Valentine and his
cousin Percy Corless. both younger.
than himself accompanied him back To
the road. They could see dimly form
by the side of the road and Harrison
who carried the gun aimed at the
object and fired.
The noises which they heard ceased
after the shots We're fired, but the boys
say they did not go near to see what
they had shot, but suddenly possessed
by feeling of terror, they ran back to
the house and remained until morning
when the body of Tracy was discovered.
During the investigation which fol-
lowed the boys admitted the shooting
but maintained that they supposed they
were shooting at wild animal. The
younger boys were not arrested. but
Harrison was put under surveillance and
today was removed to the Jail in Mont
pelier as prisoner pending further in
vestigation.
The neighborhood where the shooting
occurred is rather insulated and is in
habted by farmers, most Of whom are
far from being prosperous. The body
of Tracy has been removed to Water
bury, where it will be subject to fur
Their examination by the physicians.

Startling Disclosures.

New York, Oct. 26.-When Hyman
Grossman. a 15-year-old lad, was ar
raigned in the children's court yester-

cry morning to look for victims The

The youngster then went on to tell
how Stein instructed him for weeks in

sent him out. He said he had to prac-
tice for hours every day on Stein and
his wife, relieving them Of wallets,
pocketbooks, watches and jewelry until
he became so adept that he could rob
them without their knowing 1t. If he
did the job in n clumsy fashion, Stein

Recent stormy weather has helped
trade in shoes and rubber footwear at

trade is yet hardly as god as hoped

for the year are 80 per cent. larger

on spring goods. Spring orders are
in fair volume. Leather is steady and
current demands prevents accumula-

mand and prices do not weaken.
The largest sales for any week this
year are reported in the Boston wool
market. Large mills have bought
very freely. the total sales running
over 25,000,000 pounds. 1t is claimed
that large manufacturers held off as
long as they dared, and that easier
money and good trade advices helped
to start the buying. The tone of the
market has been considerably helped
thereby.

Setting Aside Of TelIer's Re-
port May Cause Trouble.
One Man Has Presidency, Another Wants \
And Fight May Follow.

Brockton, Mass, Oct. 26.-The order
| of the Executive Council Of the Boot
and Shoe Workers Union Of America
| for a new election by the affiliated uni
ons OF the country threatens to bring
| about serious split in the national or
ganiZation with forces led by President
John F. Tobin Of Rochester. n. Y, on
one side and the unionists, led by
Thomas y. Hickey of Brockton on the
other. Hickey was elected president at
the recent polling by the unions, ac-
| cording to the majority report of the
| board of tellers, but his election was
yesterday adjudged illegal by the Ex-
ecutive Council on the ground that the
voting in some Of the unions was
fraudulent.
Following a meeting of the Lasters'
and Cutters Unions, held here last
night, at which the order for a new
election was strongly condemned 1t
was announced that Candidates Hick-
ey and Charles Murray of Lynn. who
hold themselves as president and vice
president-elect, would carry their cases
TO the courts. Today, however, there
was considerable discussion of calling
a special convention of the Boot and
Shoe Workers Of New England to pass
upon the question involved.
The issue is whether the Executive
Council of the organization possesses
under the constitution the authority to
call new election when a ma jority of
the board of tellerS reports its salts
faction with the election already held
and reports that it was entirely legal.
The Hickey faction contends that the
executive faction is without this au-
thority; the unioniSts who follow the
leadership of President Tobin, who was
defea ted for reelection under the rul-
ing of the majority, claim that the pow
er of rejecting a report Of the tellers Is
clearly existent. The suggested con-
vention of the New England Boot and
Shoe Workers will take the form Of a
New England conference. Just before
the last national convention Of the
union the conference. which was large
ly composed of the so-called radical
element in the union. met in this state
and laid out plans for the national con-
vention. However, the conference is
without organization and it's only eff
fectiveness would appear to be in the
way Of launching a popular sentiment
hostile to the national organization and
in that way bring about a possible d.
vision in the ranks of the Boot and
Shoe Workers of the country.
Candidates Hickey and Murray
placed their cause in the hands Of Abb
bington attorneys. The plans for q
New England conference will be fur
tner discussed. 1t is thought, at fu-
ture mass meeting Of the unions Of this
city.

The Communication of Character In
part he said: There is no absolute
evil in the world and no act however bad
| is wholly bad. Even Millions devil
| would make splendid football captain.
The science Of bacteriology is giving us
a splendid analysis. We no longer at
| tack disease by trying to expel it, We
treat it as living force in four ways Of
dealing; viz: First, sanitation which
kill the germs; second, antitoxin which
tends to neutralize the poisonous pro-
ducts; third, incubation which gives US
mild form of the disease and renders
the person immune; and fourth, by CIV
ing us such a vigorous organization Of
| life as to make the person practically
immune against attacks Of lower organ
| ism.
The speaker followed this analogy
| through the formation of character and
urged as the ideal method the fourth
| method, that of creating such a vigor-
| Gus organism as to be immune against
! temptation.
Incidentally President Hyde discussed
| prohibitive measures for treatment of
| all forms of evil and said that while
there is a communication of character
by this method Of prohibition there is
no curative virture in it ana no strength
| ening of the organism to resist.
