RESIGNS AS CAPTAIN.
Capt. Ernest j. Waterman, of Brat
tleborO, Sends Resignation to Gen.
w. ii. Gilmore.

Brattleboro, Oct. S.-Captain Er-
nest j. Waterman, of Company l, v.
N. G., who expressed his intention
of resigning from the State National
Guard some time ago, has rendered
his resignation to Adjutant General
w. H. Gilmore, of Fairlee, to take
effect at once. While the resigna-
tion of Capt. Waterman has not been
accepted. there is no doubt but tina.
his wish to sever his connection with
the State militia will be granted.
The men of the command will feel
his absence greatly, for Captain Wa
terman has placed the company IN
an efficient standing. He has long
record Of State military service. He
enlisted in Company l in August of
1897, while a student at Middlebury
College. At the outbreak of the
Spanist-American war he went to
Chickamauga with the Vermont
regiment returning to Brattleboro
when the regiment was mustered out
of the service. On the reorganiza-
tion of the State militia he was ap-
pointed corporal in the COMPANY
and in October, 1889, was elected
second lieutenant. In May, 1900, he
was elected first lieutenant and in
1901 was elected captain of the COM
pany. He held that position for two
years when he resigned to accept an
official position in Washington where
he stayed three years. In November,
1907, he was again elected captain
which office he has since held.

GRAIN HAS RESIGNED
Charles r. Crane, of Chicago Asked
to Resign as Minister to China, But
Refuses to Hand Resignation to
Secretary Of State-Later Wires
President His RESIGNATION.

Washington, Oct. ia practical
ending of the incident involving al
legations of indiscreet conduct
against Charles R. Crane, of Chicago,
who was recently appointed American
Minister to China came today, when
Secretary of State Knox virtually
forced Crane out of the diplomatic
service. Knox asked Crane to tender
his resignation but the latter declined
to hand it to Knox and instead noti-
fed President Taft by telegraph that
it was at his disposal. Realizing how
the land lay, Crane sent his telegram
to President Taft before he received
the note from Knox, saying that
Cranes resignation would be accept
ed.
While technically Crane is still
American Minister to China, Presi-
dent Taft's acceptance of his resigna-
ton probably will be at hand before
tomorrow morning.
In statement given to the press,
issued by Knox, it was indicated that
the sole cause for desiring to revoke
Cranes commission was that the lat
ter had been guilty of furnishing GER
tain information to a Chicago news
paper in regard to the proposed atti-
tude of the American Government in
it's diplomatic dealings with China
According to Knox's announcement
Crane admitted the responsibility fol
this newspaper article, which Knox
incidently declared to be a canard.
Crane came back at Knox in a long
statement issued tonight. In it he
| denies the he gave out a newspaper
! story" as Knox had said, and cites
President Taft as having given hin
authority to speak freely of the rela
tions between China and the United
| States. Crane quoted the President
as saying with reference to the invi
tations received by Crane to attenC
public affairs in his honor. Do no
miss any of them, and when you gt
to one, insist on speaking and le
them have it red hot

Wallingford, Oct. 12.-The belief
that Miss Mary ]. Johnson, the aged
recluse who was found dead in her
home here Sunday morning was mur-
dered, was strengthened by the au-
topsy and inquest held here today and
tonight Although the inquest was
still in progress at late hour and no
statement could be obtained regard
ing the nature of the testimony, it is
understood that facts were elected
tending to connect with the case Rob
ert Eddy, who was questioned Sunday
and who is now in county Jail at Rut-
land, serving a sentence of 1876 days
for furnishing liquor.
The autopsy was performed this
morning by DR.. G. F. Dalton and DR..
E. H. Buttles of the State Laboratory
at Burlington, and DR.. William W
Stickney, of Rutland. No statement
was given out, but it is understood
that there is little doubt that death
was due to strangulation.
The inquest opened this afternoon
before Justice F. C. Saunders. Others
present were First Selectman H. j
Fales, Constable Robert Hopkins and
also Deputy Sheriff Pascal Ricci, OF
Rutland. Different witnesses told OF
Eddy's movements on Saturday up to
and after the time of Miss Johnson'S
death until he was arrested Sunday
1t is understood that the trousers
said to have been worn by Eddy Sat
urday night have been found in rag
bag at his home, and that they have
been. washed since Saturday. Tive
or three witnesses testified, it is re-
ported that Eddy told them Saturday
evening that he had a date that
night. John Mulqueen, night watch
man for the American Fork and Hoe
Company, whose mill is within loo
yards of Miss Johnson's house, claims
that he saw Eddy prowling about the
mill about Ills Saturday night t,aftei
the man is alleged to have canverset
with the other witnesses.
Eddy was also traced to a water
ing trough opposite the johnson
home where he was seen diluting {
bottle of alcohol The inquest CLOSED
about 12:45 this morning, after abou
25 witnesses had been examined. Th'
autopsy showed that no heart diseas
