WINTHROP WANTS MILITIA
ON EQUAL WITH NAVY

Washington. Dec. Is Assistant
Secretary Winthrop of the navy de-
partment would have the militia in
creased from $500 to 10000 and would
have it placed on tho same footing
with reference 10 the navy that the
land militia occupies towards the
army The secretary was before the
house committee on naval affairs to-
day and advocated an increase Of $25,-
600 over the estimate of 100000 made
by the department.
He expressed the opinion that in
time of war the naval militia should
be as available for service as the land
militia, view which accords with a
bill bv Chairman Foss. upon which the
committee acted favorably in the last
congress. Mr. Winthrop's views were
apparently received by the committee
with favor.

among piles of coal props and rail-
raod ties, and notified H. B. Hickey,
the city marshal, who with deputy
marshal, Sam Hickey. started to in
vestigate and see who they were
and what their business was. On
approaching the place, the two men
were discovered, and Sam Hickey
opened fire, and one of the men re-
turned the fire, the bullet striking
H. B. Hickey in the front part of
the body, just below the stomach.
lie started to walk towards the de-
pot, but fell, and called for help.
During this tipe, Sam was follow
ing one Of the men, and fired five
times, but without effect. The two
men separated, one going north,
the other south, across lots4 and
Sam on learning that his father
was shot, turned to assist him lie
was carried into the depot, then
taken to his home, and doctors
called, who pronounced the wound
fatal. The physicians lab0led all

FELL OVER 40 FEET.
Was Painting on Roof When Ladder
Gave Way. No Internal Injuries
Apparent.

A. NJ. Stafford, a painter of
Barre, was badly injured on Monday
afternoon while at work with Arthur
Batchelder on the roof of F. e.
Burr's house on Camp street. His
right ankle was broken, his left one
sprained and one of his wrists
sprained.
The two men were working about
Is feet up the slanting roof on a
ladder. The end on which Stafford
was working did not have a hook
but was supported instead by a
wooden bracket. This gave way and
Stafford, ladder and all started down
the roof toward the caves. Batchel-
der did his best to prevent his fell
low workman going over the edge
but without avail. Stafford had
gained considerable speed, going
down the roof and he was precipitat
ed 40 feet to the ground, going COM
pletely over the piazza and landing
about 20 feet away from the house.
Several saw the accident and ex-
pected that Stafford had been kill
ed but he was picked up in a semi
conscious condition and DR.. NJ. L.
Chandler and the ambulance sum-
moned. An examination showed that
one ankle had been broken, the other
sprained and that one wrist was
sprained but as far as could be
determined there were no internal
injuries. The man was taken to his
home on Long street and although
he suffered much during the night,
is resting fairly comfortably today.

MYSTERIOUS DEPART
URE OF NORWEGIAN
Farm Hand in Colchester Cannot Be
Found. Left Watch and Money.
Nothing to Show Whether He Is
Dead or Alive.

Winooski, June 30.-The myster-
ious disappearance and continued
absence of Norwegian farm hand,
named Ola, has created some alarm
in the mind of H. H. Fifeld by whom
Ola was employed. Mr.. Fifield liveh
on the so-called Fred Wilson farm
near the poor farm in the town Of
Colchester With his wife he went
Friday to visit on the New York side
of the lake. Left on the farm were
Mrs. Ruth Dibble, William Kinney
and Ola, who were employed in the
house and on the farm. Mr.. and
Mrs. Fifield returned Monday and
were told by Mrs. Dibble that Ola
had disappeared the night before.
Invehtigation showed that his bed
had apparently not been slept in
long, and probably Ola took his de-
parture in the early part OF the
night. Under his pillow was his
watch, which had run down between
two and tree O'CLOCK. In his suit
case were his best clothes, also a
pocketbook containing nearly $50.
Ola had no relations. Whether he is
alive or not is the question. At the
time Of his leaving the house he
must have worn an overall suit as
his other clothes were found in his
room. He was a sandy complexion
ed man, about five feet eight inches
TALL and would weigh about $50
pounds. He once told Mr.. Fifield
that he was 40 years old. Absolutely
no explanation Of the disappearance
is available and the search for the
man, alive or dead, will be contin-
ued.

CASE OF ABUSE REVEALED.
13-Year-Old Boy Claims LangdOn,
n. H Farmer Cruelty Beat Him.
Body a Mass of COntusiOns.

Bellows Falls, June pa case
of alleged cruelty to a boy of 13,
q charge of the town, on the part of
a well-to-do farmer of Langdon, n.
H., is causing great indignation
among those acquainted with the
boys story.
Roland Derry, whose parents died
in his infancy, was an inmate of the
town poorhouse in charge of Peter
Dorand. Last November James Nc
Dermott, a Langdon farmer, applied
at the poor farm for a boy to assist
him on his farm in return for a
home and schooling. After some in
vestigation as to McDermotts char
acter Roland Derry was sent to him.
Nothing was heard from the boy
until last Friday, when First Select
man NJ. H. Ray of this town was
notified by Fred Marion OF Alstead,
n. H., agent for the society for the
prevention of cruelty to children,
that the boy was being cruely treat
ed.
Ray and Dorand sent Deputy
Sheriff Frank Phelps from here to
investigate. Mr.. Phelps found the
boy in a pitiable condition, his legs
thighs and back being a mass of
contusions. The boy alleges that
these injuries were inflicted by Nc
Dermott the previous Monday be-
cause Roland failed the day before
during McDermott's absence to cut
some dead branches from the shade
trees.
Roland further says that later
that day he failed to plant his corn
in exactly the way he had been in
structed and McDermott kicked him,
inflicting the injury apparent on the
spine. Roland says this is only one
Of many similar punishments, Nc
Dermott frequently causing him to
take off all his clothes and suffer a
severe beating with a horsewhip un-
til Mrs. McDermott interfered in his
behalf, The boy also states that Of
ten after working all day he was
sent to bed without any supper, and
that he never was allowed to go to
school or TO church during his stay
at the McDermotts.
Yesterday afternoon a reporter
caller on Mr.. and Mrs. McDermott
at the farm. They scoffed at the
boys stories, saying he was utterly
untruthful and unreliable, that he
certainly never had received any
bruises at their hands. Mr.. Nc
Dermott admitted that he had whip
ped the boy at times because he
could be managed in no other way,
but he had never been beaten un-
reasonably Mrs. McDermott said
she had always stood by when the
boy was punished and told her hus-
band when he had whipped him
enough. When asked how they ac-
counted for the marks upon the
boys body the McDermotts replied
that he was capable OF pounding and
cutting himself and showing the
bruises to excite sympathy, that on
one occasion last winter he deliber-
ately cut off the end of his finger
with a jackknife to avoid doing his
regular work and claimed he had
squeezed it off while tying a COW to
the stanchion.
