AN INTERESTING
anniversary

Amherst, Mass, Oct. 13-Exercises
We're held at Amherst college today
in celebration or the fiftieth annfver-
sary of the establishment of what is
claimed to be the first college gym
nasium in America.
The history of the movement which
resulted in the erection of Barrett
gymnasium at Amherst goes back TO
the summer of the year 1926, when
the student body petitioned the facul-
ty for a holiday on which to clean up
the college grove With slight hest
tation the request was granted, and
the work of removing stumps. logs
and rubbish was soon accomplished.
A gymnastic society was formed for
the erection and maintenance of gym
nastic apparatus in the grove
The faculty concurred with the stu
dents in the work and contributions
were raised, which led to the erection
of a bath house in the grove. This
building, which was of small dimen-
sions, was destroyed by fire. The
gymnastic society flourished. and a
natural outgrowth was the playing of
cricket AMI baseball On July l,
1859, Amherst and Williams en-
gagged in the first game of intercol-
legiate baseball. The game. which
was played at Pittsfeld. resulted in
victory for Amherst, the final score
being 70 to 81
Shortly after this date steps were
taken for the erection of a college
gymnasium. Five thousand dollars
was raised by subscription. and on
October 5. 1889. the cornerstone was
laid. The building was speedily COM
pleted and was named for Dr. Benja-
min Barrett of Northampton, who
was a liberal contributor to the fund.

POCANTICO HILLS. n. Y. June s.
A large number of employees of John d.
Rockefeller are searching his great do
main at Pocantico Hills this morning, in
the hope of getting some trace OF the
body of a man who had been murdered,
it is believed, which was seen lying near
the roadside on the Rockefeller duck
farm by woman.
The police of North Tarrytown re-
ported this morning that they had made
a long search, but could get no trace of
the body. Nor could they find out If
there was a man missing in the vicinity.
Mrs. Pauline Popwitte. a Hungarian
woman. who delivers milk at Pocantico
Hills, reported to the police that she had
seen the body of a man with many sta b
wounds lying about eight feet from the
roadside. She said that the man was on
the broad of his back with his hands
stretched out.
Body Taken Away.
She saw the body Monday morning
Monday afternoon when the police made
search it had disappeared.
An officer Of the Tarrytown police force
said he found a pool Of blood near the
roadside. There was also q trail of blood
in the grass. as though the body had
been dragged for some distance.
Mr.. Rockefeller employs many Italians
on his place. 1t is thought that one
of them has been the victim of Black
Hand outrage
Several years ago an employe was
shot down on the Pocantico road by four
Black Hand men, who demanded that he
pay tribute to the society. When he re-
fused four bullets were fired into his
body.
Italians Tell Nothing.
The North Tarrytown police say that
Mrs. Popwitte told a straightforward
tale. The most mysterious feature of
the whole matter is the sudden disap-
pearance of the body.
When Italians on the Rockefeller place
We're questioned about the body being
seen they simply shrugged their shoul-
ders. None would say a word. They also
declared than none of their number was
missing.
All the shanties for miles around will
be searched today to see if the body
can be found.
