Men who have spent fifty years at the
White House have no recollection OF
scenes such as were witnessed there today
in the closing hours of the Roosevelt ad-
ministraton. 1t was unprecedented In
many ways, but chiefly in the hundreds
of persons who called to exchange fare
we'll words with the retiring chief exec
utive. The executive offices swarmed
with visitors from 10 o'clock in the morn

noon. Nobody kept count of the num-

SCENE AT UNION STATION.
Crowds Gather to Watch Arrivals
Hear Bands and Meet Friends.

Like a big village turned loose to see
the trains come in is the scene at Union
station. The crowd of eager people wait
ing to see the marching clubs and celebri-
ties had to be lined up and cared for by
the police much as if parade was pass

Union station did not seem crowded at

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
Judge Weeks Tells Of Conditions at
the institution.

Middlebury, Nov 1S.-Judge j.
T. Weeks, a member of the State
board of penal institutions, stated
that there have been about 60 cases
of diphtheria this fall at the State
Industrial school at Vergennes A
strict quarantine has been maintain
ed and it is thought that the cpl
demic is now completely under con-
troll. None of the cases have been
fatal.
There are now 100 children at the
institution, 40 of whom are girls.
They are all compelled to attend
school through the eighth grade but
some are more ambitious and do not
drop their studies at that stage.
There are now seven members of the
institution in the Vergennes High
school. Their tuition is paid by
the State but Judge Weeks is of the
opinion that this expense should be
borne by the towns from which the
children are committed.

SUGAR WEIGHERS
REPORTED TO BE
INDICTED
Federal Grand Jury Said to
Have Returned Bills
CONGRESS TO INVESTIGATE
Ex-Sampler Exposes Methods of Bril-
berry Alleged to Have Been
Used by Trust

New York, Nov. 1S.-According to
reports at the Federal building yester-
day, at least score of indictments
had been found by the Federal Grand
Jury against weighers in the Custom
House on charges OF collision in the
weighing frauds at the pier of the
Sugar Trust at Williamsburg
If evidence has been obtained
against any of the higher officials in
the Custom House service it is not
known. So far as the reports go, the
charges of collision embrace only the
weighers.
Mr.. Loebs report to Washington
yesterday and the rumors of indict-
ments had the effect of throwing the
Custom House staff into great ankle
ty. The Custom House has become
a dreary place since the investiga-
ton of the sugar frauds. Collector
Loeb Is almost certain to bring about
another housekeeping within short
time, and the employees are wondering
how many of them are to go.
The method used by the Sugar
Trust agents to bribe the Govern
ment's sugar samplers at both its VIII
lldIicpulS ltHllNl UiNi anu 10 l'ANA III
Jersey City was for The first time de-
scribed in detail yesterday by Henry
c. Corsa of Plainfield, n j.. who for
seven years worked as an assistant
sampler.
The trusts bribers worked their
plan in two ways. They bribed the
samplers and their assistants to take
lower grade of samples from the
sacks OF sugar brought in on the
steamers at the piers and also to per
nit the switching of high-grade sam
pies for one of low grade In cellars at
the piers where the trust had sugar
ready for substitution. These sam
pies went to the Appraisers office,
and upon them was fixed the amount
of duty TO be paid on the cargOes OF
sugar
Corsa saw the plan worked on the
Jersey City pier. and he admits TAX
ing some of the bribe money until
his conscience smote him. He learn
ed from others. he says. that the
same sort of trick was employed at
the Williamsburg pier
It was the custom of the Sugar
Trusts agents to pay on an average
OF 4ZuU IN bride money on edCn cargo
of sugar brought in, the various Gov
eminent employees getting anywhere
from $12 TO S25 each for their work.
The bride money that Corsa tells
about was only part of that paid out
by the trust at its two piers. In the
"doctoring' of scales an entirely diff
ferent set of Government employees
had to be dealt with, and these, 1t has
been revealed from other sources,
were in their turn handled by the
trust brlbers Evidence as to this
latter sort of bribe money has been
in the hands of the United States
District Attorneys Office for months,
and it will form a part of the case
against the employees of the Sugar
Trust who were recently indicted

MURDER MYSTERY
FACES TROY
OFFICIALS
Body of Caroline GOrgan Found
Near Green Island
EVIDENCE OF FOUL PLAY
Thought to Have Been Poisoned by
Powerful Drug-Money and
JeweIry Missing

Troy Nov. 1S-Pretty Caroline G..
Gorgan, q years old, was foully muir
dered in Green Island. probably some
time Tuesday night. The body was
found in a clump of bushes at the
north end of the village a few min
utes after 2 o'clock yesterday after
noon by two children who were at
play. 1t is the opinion of the Albany
county officials that the girl was fat
ally drugged, assaulted and the imam
innate form carried to the lonely spot
where it was found several hours la
ter
After the autopsy had been per-
formed last night Coroner Armstrong
was unable to state just what caused
death, but it was his opinion that the
girl had been given deadly drug and
the stomach, which was not opened
was sent to the Bender laboratory at
Albany for a chemical analysis.
The case in some respects is SINH
liar to the Hazel Drew murder, which
attracted the attention of almost the
entire country July IL, 1908. Like
the Teal pond mystery, which by the
way. was never fathomed, an automo-
bile enters into the circumstances for
investigation, machine scurrying
about the village about one oclo TX
yesterday morning having attracted
attention and especially because of
the fact that it was seen in the vici..
ity of the spot where the body was
subsequently discovered, on a road in

brother
Miss Elizabeth Gorgan when seen
at her home last night, expressed the
opinion that her sister had been way
laid near the railroad tracks at Swan
street. Green Island, overpowered and
dragged 10 the spot among the weeds
where she was later found She
thought the young woman probably
had $25 in her possession at the time.
The purse and all the money were
missing. 1t is not thought, however,
that robbery was the motive of the
crime. The father, Fred Gorgan, is a
carpenter by trade. Miss Gorgan was
born at Green Island and had always
lived there.
The authorities state they have as
certained that the young woman was
engaged to be married a year ago. but
the engagement was broken off for
some reason unknown to them. Miss
Gorgan had continued. however, to
wear a diamond and an opal ring and
had both. these rings on when she de-
parted home Tuesday morning. Both
however, were missing when the body
was found.

LEG CRUSHED OFF
Dandy Man Terribly Injured,
Brought to Rutland Hospital.

Rutland. Nov. 1S.--Louis King, age
"a, an employee of the Manchester
Marble company at Dandy, was seri-
ously injured Tuesday afternoon and
was brought to the hospital in this
city.
The man had charge of a horse and
car which was drawing a hugh block
of marble out of a quarry. The car
began to slip down hill and Mr.. King
got off the load and was walking be-
side it when his foot became caught
in a switch and before he could get
it out the heavily loaded vehicle
passed over one of his legs, cutting
il off at the knee.
It was about two hours before the
man was able to get medical atten-
ton at Dandy. The injured man lost
a great deal of blood and his condi-
ton was critical during the night but
in the morning he rallied and was
much stronger.

|DLENESS OF MANY
DAYS AHEAD Of
GRANITE MEN
Prospect That Lockout May
Last Many Weeks
DUNCAN CANNOT COME
Workmen Disappointed Because Nat
ional Union Official Is Not Able
to Assist Them

Montpelier, Nov. 1S.-The granite
situation is unchanged here. Secre-
tary Duncan is not coming to North
field and the matter will be handled
through the Quincy, Mass, Offices of
the Granite Cutters International as
ISOLATION, which will lengthen the
time required for settlement. The
Barre and Montpelier men are now
giving up hopes of a speedy settle
ment and are making preparations for
long lay off
The Barre union elected lockout
committee yesterday, consisting of
William Brown, ID. j. Sullivan, James
McAdams, w. w. Russell and Frank
Caselini, which will meet each day
during the trouble and will have gen
eral charge of the affairs of the union
during that time This would seem
to indicate that they are preparing
for long struggle, though both sides
say that they still have hopes of set
Element in time to begin work next
Monday.
Many men are leaving this section
for other cutting centers and for Eur
ope. Those who go across the water
will probably return in few months
but the others are likely to stay
where they secure work.
The Barre quarries are as yet I'M
affected but they have nearly caught
up on the advance orders and unless
the trouble is settled in a short time
theyTwill have to be closed for lack #
orders. This would throw a thousand
or more men out of work and add to
the suffering If the trouble is of long
duration.
The statement that Mr. Duncan is
not coming to Northfield has caused
great deal of disappointment locally
The men believe in him and il mis-
ability 10 settle the trouble They
feel that If the matter is handled
through the Quincy offices it will take
longer and will not be as satisfactory
as il would be II the secretary came
in person.
