Yale's Very First.
c larlotte Observer.

The nomination of Mr.. Taft
and his attendance upon the Yale
commencement as a classman of
'78 are related circumstances
which naturally call attention to
the fact that the famous ;nstitu-
ton at New Haven, although
much older than the republic,
has never yet had a son in the
presidential office. Harvard, it's
traditionalrival, supplied the two
Adamses and Roosevelt. AL
though some of the greatest
Presidents never had the advan-
tage OF college; training Yale's
zero record is rather remarkable.
In the South William and Mary
College, Virginia's venerable in
stitution, gave jefferson, Mon
roe and Tyler, and the Universe
ty of North Carolina (class of
1879 gave Polk. Madison, third
Of the Virginians, was a Prince
ton man. Coming down to the
year 1903 we find Mr.. Taft
probable opponent a graduate
(1881) of IllinoisCollegeand stu
dent for two years thereafter at
Union College of Law, Chicago.

says that returns from the rail

steel and lumber industries have
been doing very we'll recently
and that generally they have de-
cided not to make any reductions
either in wages or in rates OF
freight affecting the next three
months, which is an indication
that they believe business will
keep up.

Man Thought to Belong in
SWantOn Was Killed
ON CENTRAL VERMONT
Engineer Of Train Says He Saw the
Fellow Standing Beside the Track
and the Fellow Apparently
Committed Suicide.

ST. Albans, Oct. 24.-An unknown man
was struck by the Central Vermont train
number 10 about one mile north OF East
Swanton at about four o'clock yesterday
afternoon and so badly injured that he
died at the hospital in this city at $50.
His legs were broken, his skull fractured,
and he was otherwise injured and did
not recover consciousness before his
death.
NJ Clark, the engineer Of the train,
states that he saw the man standing on
the bank beside the track and that when
the engine was about two or three
lengths away he plunged onto the track
and was struck by the engine and thrown
q considerable distance.
Considerable effort has been made TO
identify the man, and he is thought TO
be a resident of Swanton named Sween.

of age was well dressed, but had in his

BELIEVE FIRES SET.
Bennington Selectmen Offer Reward
of 500 to Catch Culprits

Bennington, Oct. Becoming con-
WINGED that the forest fires on Bald
mountain are being set, the selectmen
OF the town yesterday decided to offer
4 reward of $100 for evidence that
would lead to the conviction of any
offender.
Yesterday morning the fire in Bick
ford hollow, between Bald mountain
II Bennington and Green mountain in
Glastonbury, was burning more flercely
than at any time since it was first dis
covered Sunday morning A party of
fire fighters sent onto the mountain by
the selectmen returned at four o'clock
in the morning and reported that the
fire with the exception Of a smouldering
stump pile had been put out. BY day
light, however, the fire was sweeping
up the eastern slope of the mountain
again. The fact that during all the dry
season up to Saturday afternoon there
has notn been a single forest fire in
this locality and the inability of work
ers to put them out leads to the con-
clusion that they are being kept up
by persons in the woods.

LOWEST EVER KNOWN.
Lake Champlain Water Level Breaks
All Records.

Burlington, Oct. 24.-The water in
Lake Champain reached the lowest
Known mark yesterday. The previous
low water mark was made in 1881, but
yesterday this mark was passed by a
qaarter of an inch. Since 1927 it has
been custom of the navigators on the
lake to keep record Of the low water
reached during the year. In 1927 a
low water mark was evidently reached
for there is an old bench mark" stand
ing at the Shelburne harbor made at
that time. October 16, 1881 all records
were passed At that time the steam.
crs Of the Champlain Transportation
company were running to Ticonderoga
Pilot r. S. Rockwell of the Ticonderoga
was on the lake at the time and says
tI.at the steamers had to be run into
the mud at the Ticonderoga dock in
order to have the gang plank reach
from the boat to the dock. Pilot Rock.
we'll said yesterday that the water was
SO low that there was only one cut by
which the steamers could enter Platts-
burg harbor.

SUMMER HOTEL BURNED.
Loss at Exeter, N. H., Last Night Was
$4,000.

Exeter. N. IT.. Oct. 24.-Fire, discov-
cred at Z o'clock last evening. quickly
consumed the New Boar's Head, sum
mer hotel at Hampton beach, of which
James Fuller of Amesbury, Mass, was
proprietor. Shortly after 0 o'clock last
night, Deputy Sheriff Robert Scott
started for the beach to investigate the
cause of the fire, which some believe
was incendiary.
The house was closed for the winter,
but was visited yesterday by its pro-
prietor.
The house, which stood at the base of
Bears Head, was built about sixty
years ago and was long known as the
Granite house It was leased and re-
named by the late Stebbins II. Dumas
upon the burning of his noted Bears
Head house on the summit of the head.
Under Mr.. Fuller management, it mas
especially catered TO automobile par
ties. Three seasons ago it was the
headquarters of the New Hampshire
Automobile club
The beach hydrant service could not
avert the destruction of the house,
which with most of its contents burned
like a veritable tinder box. The loss
is estimated at $4,000 or more, insur-
ance unknown.

THINK MAN
IS E. KENT
Arrested at Pittsfield, Mass,
and Being Held
SUPT. CIRCUIT NOTIFIED
States Attorney Lawrence of Rutland
County, Where There Is an Indict-
ment Against Kent, Goes to
Make Sure.

Waterbury Oct 24-Supt. Grout of
the state insane asylum received word
from Pittsheld, Mass, this morning,
that a man had been captured there,
who, il was believed, is the long missing
and much-sought Elroy Kent, who es-
capped from the asylum last summer and
who led the officers a lively chase for
several weeks until finally the chase had
to be given up for lack of clues.
When arrested at Pittsfield the man
was attempting to dispose Of bicycle
which had been stolen, il is alleged
The man is said TO have admitted that
his name was Elroy Kent and that he
is the man who escaped from the asylum
a. this place. The fellow is alleged to
have also stolen a suit case at Holyoke
Supt. Grout says that these minor
stealings indicate that the man under
arrest is the Vermont Elroy Kent, as
that was his mania and it was for lar
cenies that he was sent TO the state
prison and was later transferred 10 the
state asylum. A hospital attendant viii
20 to Pittsfeld TO identify the man.
Kent escaped from the asylum with
John Keenan, on Saturday, July II, with
u key fashioned by another inmate, Fred
L. Sharpe, who the week before had
escaped and was recaptured near Mont
pelier. Keenan, was Handicapped by a
wooden leg and did not make as fast
progress as Kent desired. So they sepa-
rated, and Keenan, was caught FIVE miles
from Waterbury, on the road to Stowe,
the Monday night following his escape,
thus having been at liberty little over
two days.
The chase for Kent was abandoned. as
it was thought that when he applied for
food along his route that he would be
reported to some official There came
no report Of Kent, however, until wo-
man, Della Is. Congdon. was foully mur-
dered in her home at East Wallingford,
and then traces Of Kent were reported
from many places in the southern part
of the state, none OF which proved con
elusive. One clue which led to suspicion
against Kent in this case was the in
itials e Kn cut inside the murdered
woman's barn. Then there came forward
many people who claim to have seen
Kent in the vicinity Of East lYalling-
ford.
The Congdon woman was murdered on
July "a, her body being found in the
pantry Of her house many hours after
the deed had been committed. Kent
formerly resided in the vicinity of East
Wallingford No one was held for her
murder, but the Rutland county grand
jury brought an indictment against FL
roy Kent, on September IL, for murder
in the first degree.

WRESTLED | IA HOURS
BEFORE SINGLE FALL
Bourbon Got That from Grace, But
Failed to Follow It UP With An
other, SO Match Had to End
Unsatisfactory.

The catch-as .catch.can wrestling
match at the opera house last evening
between Eli Il. Bourbon of Claremont,
~ H., and Jack Grace Of New York,
was declared unfinished shortly after II
o'clock, as the wrestlers had TO catch
the 1886 train, The only fall Of the
bout went TO Bourbon after an hour and
Is minutes OF evenly matched work.
The bout was probably the best exhibi-
tion of the kind ever seen in Barre, and
the men were closely matched, although
Bourbon had a few pounds the adyan-
tage in weight.
The fall that Bourbon did get was
made with body scissors across the
stomach, bar Nelson aud smother
hold, a combination which the plucky
New York boy was unable TO escape. The
men went onto the mat the second time
and both worked for 40 minutes TO gain
an advantage, but neither was able to
do So and according TO agreement the
match was declared unfinished shortly
after II o'clock
Before the beginning Of the bout the
referee, L. II. Hunter OF Claremont, n.
H., read q challenge from Cyclone"
Bibby Of New Bedford, Mass, to meet
the winner. At the conclusion of the
match Grace said he would meet the cy-
clone at any time. Bourbon also agreed
to make Graee's weight and meet him
again in four weeks.
The preliminary bout was between
William Florence and w. Smith. Flor
ence won the first fall in IS minutes
with a bar Nelson and body hold, and
Smith took the second fall in IA min.
utes with a body hold.
