ADAMS HIGH BOYS
WON GAME BY
100 SCORE
Massachusetts Students Too
Heavy For Bennington
PLAYED AT MORGAN PARK
Local Team Tackled Well and Follow
ed Ball Closely But Was Weak
on interference

Bennington high school lost the
football game played at Morgan park
Saturday afternoon with the Adams
high school by a score of 10 to 0. The
Bennington boys played an excellent
tackling game and followed the bail
closely but the heavy backfield and
the well organized interference of the
visiting team was too much for them
The ten points by Adams were all
made in the first half. Soon after
the kickoff the Massachusetts boys
began to push the ball steadily tow
ard the Bennington goal line and
when about 25 yards from the posts,
Raidy the little Adams quarter sent
a neat dropkick between the stan
dards
Adams punted out and soon recover
ing the ball from Bennington on an
intercepted forward pass carried it
steadily by end runs down the field
and when close to the line pushed
Wells over for touchdown. The
ball was punted out for a fair catch
and Raidy kicked an easy goal.
During the second half there was
considerable fumbling and the ball
frequently exchanged hands through
this fault Bennington did not long
retain possession of the ball at any
time and when in possession of the
leather the best gains were made by
Thompson who hit the Adams line
good and hard and who was a difficult
runner to stop and down. Carpenter
ran his team with good judgment and
tackled well for a light man. But for
the hard tackling of Wood and Fas-
gett Adams would have run up
much larger score Paulson showed
unusual ability at following the bah
and breaking through the Adams line
During the second half when the ball
frequently changed hands through the
fumbling he was close to the pigskin
at all times and twice recovered it
for his team.
Considerable snap was given to the
game by the fast work of Referee
Frank f. Battles. He kept the teams
moving all the while and gave his usu-
al satisfaction. The lineup.

States supreme court, died at S:15 o.
clock last night at "Coolmore," his
summer home at Altamont, Albany
county. Death was due to a compli-
cation Of diseases, heart trouble,
Brights disease and hardening OF the
arteries contributing
Justice Peckham had been in i'll
health for some time but his condit-
ion was not considered serious until
recently. Following the closing of the
session of the United States Supreme
court, he came on from Washington
with Mrs. Peckham to spend the sum-
mer at Altamont, expecting to return
for the beginning of the October term.
A few days ago his condition became
such that his physicians said he was
likely TO die at any time or might lin
ger for several months. Up to a few
days ago Justice Peckham exhibited
considerable strength and was able
to be about the house. The circula-
tory disturbance which contributed to
his death was first noticed about six
weeks ago.
Justice Peckham was born in Al
bany November 8, 1888. At the com
pletion of his education at the Albany
academy and Philadelphia, he studied
law in the Office of his father who
had as his law partner Lyman Ire
main. attorney general of the state.
On the election of his father to the SUI
preme court bench of New York state
in 1859, the same year Justice Peck
ham was admitted to the bar, he form
ed partnership with his fathers for
mer partner, under the firm name of
Tremain e. Peckham, which continued
until the death of Mr.. Tremain in
1878.
Justice Peckham had been district
attorney of Albany county, corpora
ton counsel of Albany, justice of the
supreme court of the state and assoc
late judge of the Court of Appeals to
which he was elected in 1886. In De-
cember, 1895, while still judge OF
the Court of Appeals he was appoint
ed by the late President Cleveland
as an associate justice of the supreme
court of the United States.
Justice Peckham was married in
1866 to Harriette NJ. Arnold daughter
of D. H. Arnold, who was a we'll
known New York merchant and pres
ident of the Mercantile bank of New
York. Two sons, Rufus W. Jr., and
Henry A., died some years ago. JUS
tice Peckham is survived by a widow
and three grandchildren. two sons
and daughter of Henry A. Peckham.

rest, chased him mile across lots
before catching him.
They took him to the police station
and he is said to have admitted that
he is the man for whom they were
searching. He does not admit killing
the woman.
In Astoria the man arrested went
by the name of Frederick Gerhardt.
He lived at 357 Woolsey Avenue with
his wife and two children. Gerhardt
worked in the Steinway piano factory
as a cabinet maker. He is said TO De
skillful at his trade. His hands from
the nature of his work, are calloused,
as we're the hands of the man whom
Anna Luther introduced to the Wer-
pupp and Schwieckert families IN
Newark as her husband.
When Anna Luther and Mueller
left Germany they brought with them
two dogs of the kind used by the pol
ice aboard and which have been in
troduced into the department here.
These dogs in way led to the ind
ing of the man arrested last night.
Efforts had been made to trade the
dogs which Anna Luther told her
Newark friends her husband had
brought over. These were landed at
Hoboken from the steamship which
brought the pair back to this coun-
try after their trip to Germany The
expressman was found in Jersey City
and recalled the dogs and the boxes
which he took from the pier He led
the police to the home of the man ar
rested.
The detectives say that they found
many traces of the dead woman in

the house when they searched 1t. They
found her clothing, they declare, all
marked with the initials, "A. L." A
gown marked with the two letters
was being worn by the wife of the
man arrested and it was said by the
police that when they took her hus-
band away, Mrs. Gerhardt threw over
her shoulders to accompany them on
the way TO the police station a steam
err cloak which, when examined later,
was found also to have belonged to
the murdered woman.
Gerhardt when first questioned by
the detective admitted he knew the
young woman. He said he first met
her on the steamer on which they
crossed the ocean. He declared they
parted when they reached Manhattan.

Mr. Batchelder who is one of the
best known men in the northern sec
ton of the county, suffered an injury
to his back recently and about ten
days ago his reason became deranged.
His condition did not improve and 1t
was deemed best to take him to the
retreat in order that he might have
the benefit of special treatment.
Before the opening of the Batten-
kill Inn Mr.. Batchelder conducted a
hctel in Peru. He was a genial man
who readily made friends and took an
active part in the politics of the town
and county Since he has been in
charge of the Battenkill Inn the hotel
has made an excellent reputation with
the travelling public and large circle
of acquaintance will regret to hear
of his illness and nope for has speedy
recovery.

from Manchester Sunday night in his
Ford automobile and while on a
straight stretch of road about two
miles south of the village he nearly
ran over a doe and fawn that were

BUSINESS IN THE WEST.

R EPORTS from Chicago say that although
n "a the business conditions throughout the
West are not so good it was expected they
would be by the prophets of few months ago,
there is nevertheless considerable improvement.
The year has brought fair trade in nearly
all lines of goods and in the dry goods trade the
orders have exceeded expectations.
The volume Of business has almost equalled
that of two years ago and is far ahead of that
of last year The months sales will apparently
be UP TO normal Manufacturing is looking up.
About 90 per cent. of the capacity of the iron and
steel mills is in operation and some mills exceed
that figure Structural material is having a large
sale and the wagon, carriage and implement
manufacturers are in the Chicago market for
large orders.
While no one in Chicago, the center of the
Western trade expects a boom the large amount
OF new work ordered cannot fail TO stimulate
business. The full return Of the desired pros
perity cannot be long delayed.
In the agricultural regions a different story is
told. There is more money among the Western
farmers than ever before. Their demand for au-
tomobes is cited as one of the proofs that the
farmers have money. In few years farmers
will be using automobiles largely.
1t is said the Western farmers have not felt
the effects of hard times and this may also be
said OF the farmers in the East
This fact is one of the odd things about the
depression. The farmers have been doing well,
much natural wealth has been produced, but the
manufacturers and the workmen have suffered.
All of which strengthens the view held by many
that the panic was created and was not natural
panic.

EYES ON THEM.

W. hear mutterings Colonel Drexlsr, the
new State Senator from Sussex County,
has appeared too much in the public eve to suit
some people-that is, some politicians. They
have begun to wonder about him and want to
know what he is going to do Some of those
who did not know the Senator had the impress
sion that he was an aged man gone TO spend the
remainder of his days in good old Sussex but the
Senator IS really young fellow as full Of bloom
as one of Governor Pennewill's strawberries
The Senator however may have an interesting
experience in this State. We hope and believe
he will stay with us longer than did the smooth
Mr.. Treat who flashed in Sussex and in fact,
IN State politics some years ago.
The Senator when he has been with us for
some time may discover that there is a sort OF
syndicate OF prominence in, Delaware-that is
in Delaware political matters. man. II he has
the cash, or if he has the stamp of the Railroad
Company's approval, upon him may share in the
syndicate. So far as the money is concerned
the question that is asked him by politicians OF
the State is the question propounded by the Boss
IN the Man of the Hour'-not how did you get
it, but have you got it.
The colonel has "hoed his own row. rather
successfully, although he has set them guess
ing He can either stir up a commotion or he
may live in peace. The colonel and several 9TH
er members of the Legislature. one of whom is
another new conner, who has "appled" his way
into prominence-showing that occasionally
there other roads to publicity glory than
those we mentioned above-are supposed 20
have something up their sleeves which will drop
out before the Legislature ends Perhaps they
have been looking over the broad and fertile
fields OF Delaware on which dwell many of her
intelligent sons, and perhaps they have wondered
why there should be problem Of railroad trans
portation
Colonel Drexer might read the Republican
State Platform and recall the timid little utter
ance about the transportation question in that
document and the Hon. Mr.. Apples might read
the Democratic platform on the same question
which utterance was, of course, buncombe as
the Hon. Caleb R. Layton would say, because
il was put forth by railroaded convention al
all events, the colonel and Mr.. Soper nigh
cause a little rumpus just to uncover the rea
status of the Legislature. We observe signs o

WORKING FOR WATER WAYS.

N The House of Representatives at Wash
= ingtou two bills were introduced the other
day embodyng the conclusions arrived at by
the Water Ways Conference held in Washing
ngton recently At that conference representa-
tives of Delaware played no small part
One of the bills provides conditions for an
issue Of national bonds to the amount OF $780,
100000 TO be used for water way improvements,
and the other measure provides for a permanent
Water Way Commission whose functions will
be to investigate and report to Congress upon
problems of navigation and water way improve
ments
Regarding the bond issue the provision of the
bill is that no sum greater than fifty millions
shall be put out in any fiscal year making the
issue extend through ten years. The interest
under the bill would amount to ten millions a
year if the entire sum were to be issued.
BY the development of the water ways great
increase in the national wealth would be
brought about, sufficient to Justify the expend-
ture Of 50 large amount for Improvement.
The plan Of financing the project seems adniira-
BILE
Those interested in the development of our
water ways will make every kind Of effort 10
have Congress adopt their plan but they may
not be successful at this term However. il
