! MONEY CAUSES TRAGEDY
Wholesale Slaughter Follows Dispute
Over Estate Near Pembroke, N. H.
Charles F. AVER Kills His Wife. His rive
Children, His Moth er-in-Law and
1hen Blows Out His Brains.

Pembroke, n. H.-What the autlori-
ties consider the most appalling trag-
edy ever recorded in New Hampshire
was enacted in North Pembroke. Fol-
lowing the destruction of the farm
buildings of Charles Aver and the dis
appearance of seven members Of Ayers
household, and the suicide Of Aver. late
that afternoon at the home of his sister
in the town of Chichester, six miles
distant, the announcement was made
by Thomas f. Clifford, County Solicit
tor Of Merrimac County, that there was
little doubt but that the seven persons
had been murdered and the farmhouse
set on fire.
The theory is that Aver shot his
mother-in-law, Mrs. Laura Lakeman;
that his wife interfered to protect her
mother, and that, hoping to conceal the
evidences of his act, the man, in a
frenzy, put an end to the lives of the
entire family and set fire to the dwell
ing house. His own death by suicide
took place several hours later at the
home of his sister Mrs. George Bailey,
in Chichester.
He made his appearance at the home
of his sister about 3 o'clock in the af-
ternoon. It was between land o'clock
when William a. Fowler arrived at
Bailey's house and told Aver Of the
burning of his dwelling. Without a
word in reply Aver drew the revolver
from his pocket and shot himself. He
never regained consciousness.
According to the county authorities
1t is known that Aver had trouble with
his mother-in-law over the estate of
her husband the late Isaac Lakeman
who died about three years ago, leav-
ing as his principal property the home-

Chicago. IlI.-By the adoption of the

i've body has for the first time declared
for municipal ownership.
The ordinance passed the Council by
the decisive vote Of 81 to %.
BY the same vote an ordinance was

operation of the city's street railway
lines be submitted to a vote Of the peo-
pie.

The result of the days work of the
Council, first in Committee Of the

to give the voters chance to make
their decision at the polls effective. BY
an affirmative majority vote for the
ownership ordinance and a three-ffths
vote for public operation those meas
ures become operative laws.

Game Must Be Reformed Acceptably Be-
fore Crimson Players WIN Be Allowed
TO Participates Statements by Presi-
dent Eliot, Of Harvard, and President
Butler. Of Columbia.
Cambridge, Mass. Football has been
abolished at Harvard, pending a reform
in the game that will be acceptable
to the Board of Overseers, according to
an Official announcement at the uni-
versity. The discontluuance Of the
game is a result of vote taken last
week at secret meeting Of the over
seers, when it was decided that inter-
collegiate football at Harvard would
not be permitted until the rules and
regulations had been so changed and
amended as to remove what the over
seers regard as the evils Of the present
game.
The overseers accepted unanimously
the opinions of a special committee
that the game as at present played is
essentially bad in every respect, that
the methods OF formation encourage
trickery and foul play and that the
result is bad for the morals of the
players as well as for the body. The
committee declared that if changes
were to be made no man now mem
her of the so-calIed Intercollegiate
Rules Committee should have hand
in it, the committee believing that
these persons are so far committed to
the present system that they could not
agree to such changes as are absolutely
necessary to produce a decent, clean,
pleasureable contest, instead of the
present apology for q rough and tumble
fight"
President Eliot. in an interview, said:
II for one shall never consent to in
tercollegiate football being resumed at
Harvard until it has been demonstrated
in actual play that the Objectionable
features of the game have been ruled
out. A mere paper reform will not
secure my sanction.
+'Let the game under the new rules
be played by teams made up entirely
OF our own students, as for instance
by two class teams. Then If we find
that the reform is actual and not a
mere paper reform, we will invite
other colleges to play with u.s.
That Yale is to follow Harvard is
stated by a representative of President
Nicholas Murray Butler, of Columbia,
who said:
You will see Yale taking similar
step in very short time. The author
tiles here have information which leads
them to believe that Yale is only wait
ing for an opportunity to follow the
lead Of Harvard and Columbia"
