OSCAR TURNER'S
BODY HAS NOT
BEEN FOUND
Mill Pond at POwnal Being
Dragged Today
OFFICERS HAVE PICK HANDLE
Weapon Alleged to Have Been Used
in Assault Discovered Near
Thomas Harris House.

The search for the body of Oscar
Turner in the Wright Underwear fac
tory at Powiial was continued Monday
without result. Two of the local Of
ficials were on hand at the pond and
in the vicinity during the forenoon TO
aid in the search which is being con
tinued today.
The most important feature of Mon
days investigation was the finding OF
the pick-handle with which it is al
legged Thomas Harris assaulted young
Turner in front of the Charles Potter
house Saturday night.
1t was known that Harris came in
TO the possession of pick handle
and two shovels while at work for
Stephen Grady loading machinery and
tools at the station, few days preyi-
Gus to The assault There was story
that Harris Oldest child, boy of 10
years. said that he had seen his
father throw a pick handle into the
bushes near the house and a search
resulted in the discovery of the
handle about ten rods back of the
house.
The work of dragging the pond
Monday was undertaken in more
systematic manner than on Sunday.
A boat manned by Fred Bump and
Robert Potter was held from the
banks of the pond by several men
while the boatmen used long rakes
to drag the bottom.
One thing that has interfered with
the work is the inability to raise the
large gate in the center of the dam
and lower the water The side gates
were raised Sunday but the openings
did not let out sufficient water to
make any material difference in the
depth.
Sheriff Godfrey left for Pownal on
the 1915 car this morning and he
will be joined later by Deputy Sher-
III John Nash, The officers are not
inclined to discuss the case freely,
but they state that there are some
new clues that will be followed up to-
day. The finding of the body would,
of course settle many things, but the
authorities will continue to work out
every possible theory while the
search is in progress.
The fact that young Turner went to
North Adams Saturday and drew S57
from one of the banks in view of his
intended trip to California furnishes
the basis for a theory chat the man
was murdered for his money and his
body thrown into the pond If there
was any collision among the four
persons now In the county Jail the
fact is likely to come to light during
the next "a hours. Frank Moon and
James Pratt are at present being held
as witnesses only and there is, so
far as known, no reason to connect
them with the disappearance of Tur-
ner. There are, however. a number
of incidents connected with the case
that will be Investigated. The origi-
nal theory that only Harris was inn
plicated in the assault has not yet
been materially changed. Should
young Turner's body be found with
the money still on his person it would
settle many as yet unexplained fea-
lures of the case.

SIX MEN IN LIMBO
Turmoil in WalIineford as Result Of
a Big Spree.

Wallingford, April 20.-As the re-
suit of street fight Saturday night

WOMAN STEALS HAT
Walks Off With Spring Lid and Bunch
of Trimmings.

Rutland, April 2O.-.Although the
prevailing shape in hats is turn down
style, a woman who recently entered
the millinery store of Mrs. j. E. Car
rigan ON Merchants Row, took make
of wide departure from the set line
and tucked a hat with some valuable
trimmings in. The act was a theft
pure and simple and was evidently
planned with two accomplices. The
woman was discovered by Mrs VIII.
liam Vasseur of South street, but by
the tine Mrs. Carrigan was notified
the shoplifter had skipped.
The thief was standing beside two
other women when she stole the goods
and it is supposed these were in some
way assisting her by way of conceal
ment These two appeared in the
store Friday, but after hanging around
J for several minutes were asked why
they loitered so long in one place
| Not long after they left the store
Mrs. Carrigan has missed other artie
les of millinery from her stock.
| The matter has not been reported
to the police.

s26O,OOO TO DROP
PROSECUTION OF
SMUGGLERS
Offer Refused by Collector
Loeb of New York
CONTRABAND PARIS GOWNS
"sleeper" Trunk Case Which Indirect
Iy implicated Many American
Society Women.

New York, April 20.--The smuggl-
ing syndicate which first offered Col
lector of the Port Loeb 100000 to
drop the governments investigation
of the smuggling of sleeper" trunks
containing $4,000 worth of Paris
gowns, yesterday increased its offer
to 100000, according to Mr.. Loeb.
"The amount now offered the gov
eminent to drop the investigation and
probable prosecution is $260,000," said
Collector Loeb. "The amount repre-
sents what would be penalties of full
ly 100000 above the appraised value
of the goods. All offers have been re-
fused. We want the smugglers."
IL is believed that worry over this
case affected the mind of William B.
cambridge, confidential agent of the
United States treasury department in
Chicago for the customs bureau in
Paris, so that he committed suicide.
The treasury department had fully APP
proved Mr.. Bainbridge's course In
this case, but he left note declaring
that he was the victim of plot.
Collector Loeb stated that in
the negotiations for the abandonment
of the investigation started by him.
he had been approached by several
reputable lawyers, but refused to re-
veal the names of the attorneys be-
cause he said that even they did not
know the indemnity of the smugglers
and had been retained by informed
iaries.
Collector Loeb's investigation SO
far shows that the smuggled gowns
had been made in Paris, by famous
designers, for many women of ex-
ceptional social prominence and
wealth in New York, Boston, Phil
adelphia and Washington, and that
the reason for offering such large
sum to suppress the investigation was
to hold these women from the I'M
pleasant publicity threatened by the
coming disclosures.
In Paris 1t was understood that the
treasury department had instructed
Mr.. cambridge to obtain the names of
the makers of the smuggled goods
and the identity of the American wo-
men for whom they were made. The
collector does not believe that these
women know that their gowns were
to be smuggled into the country. but
had purchased them, as many Ameri-
cans buy other goods abroad with the
understanding that they were to be
delivered in America duty paid or
duty free" This saves the purchas-
err all customs annoyances.
Collector Loeb will sell the seized
gowns at public auction net month.
and will employ dressmakers and
models to display them.

The dispensers OF poslam, new

EN- that no one is urged to purchase
1t without first obtaining an expert
mental package. Those who have
tried it will find that the fifty-cent
box on sale at w. L. Gokays and all
drug stores, is sufficient to cure the
worst cases of eczema, where the sur
face affected is not too large. The itch

will also cure acne, letter. blotches,
scaly scalp, hives, BARRIERS and every
other form of itch, including itching
feet. Being flesh colored and con.
tanning no grease, the presence of pos
lam on exposed surfaces, such as the
face and hands, is not perceptible.
Water and soap cannot be used in
connection with it, as these irritate
and prolong skin troubles, sometimes
even causing them.
AS to the experimental package of
poslam, it can be had free of charge
by mail of the Emergency Laborator-

the complexion overnight, and to rid
the face of pimples in twenty-four
