MANCHESTER
First State Case of Present
Term of Court.
FOR KILLING CYRUS MOFFIT
Alleged That Sandgate Man Came to
Death as Result Of "8eartown"
Fight.

County court convened at 2 o'clock
this afternoon after the recess over
Sunday for the trial of the first state
case. that of Fred Duplis of Rupert,
charged with the death of Cyrus Mot
fit of Sandgate. Duplis is charged
with having inflicted fatal injuries
upon Motif at a dance held at the
home of Thomas Mears in Bear
town" On the night of March II.
According to the testimony produc-
ed az the preliminary hearing in Mu-
nicipal court there was fight in the
dance hall involving the victim, one
of his sons, the respondent and one
of his brothers. At this hearing wit
nesses testified that Fred Duplis hit
Cyrus Motif several blows with his
fist. some witnesses said two and
others said three. The state will
claim that as the result of these
blows Motif sustained a fracture of
the skull and the jaw resulting in his
death three days later.
The respondent, Dupls, was arrest

TO ORGANIZE FIVE

LEAGUE
HoIyOke and Northampton Pro
posed For Membership.
MEETING AT NORTH ADAMS
Promoters Argue That Plan VIII Re-
vlVe Interest and Increase At
tendance.

A meeting will be held at North
Adams this evening for the purpose
of enlarging the present baseball
league comprising the towns of Pitts
field, North Adams and Bennington
AS outlined at present 1t is the pur-
pose of those interested to include in
the organization the cities OF Holyoke
and Northampton which found the
pace in the Connecticut league too
fast and recently disbanded their
teams.
While the directors Of the Benning-
ton association realize that it will be
quite a problem for a community OF
less than 10000 to attempt to hold up
its end against cities of the size of
Holyoke and Northampton at the
same time they are ready to attend
the meeting tonight and look over the
proposition.
In favor of the plan 1t is argued
that at present 1t has been proved to
be impossible TO bring out attendance
of any size at the Saturday games
against the teams that can be brought
here on that day. No matter how
good the teams may be the public at
present will not attend the games.
This was demonstrated Saturday
by the crowd present at the game
with the Empire A. C. of Schenectady
The team had played one game here
this season and had demonstrated
that It was composed of fast, snappy
players. Saturday Ii was good
enough to trim the locals 10 to 8. and
yet the crowd. did not exceed 400 PEG
pie. 1t is plain that the league
games are the only ones in which the
public will take an interest 1t is this
one feature of the situation thai
makes the new league plan n tempt

II ought to be possible to frame {
schedule under which a portion o.
the league games by each team coult
be played Saturday afternoon.

BODY OF LEANDER
TOWSLEE FOUND
IN BARN
Aged MiIlwright Left Home
March End.
IDENTIFIED BY OLD LETTER
Burial VIII be Made In North Ben
nIngton Cemetery, Services BE-
Ing Held at Grave.

What is, without doubt, the body
of Leander Towslee, aged 70, who left
his home here March for a visit In
North Bennington was found Sunday
afternoon in hay barn ON the Hins-
dill farm in Hinsdillyille by Charles
Hinsdill of Troy. Mr.. Hinsdill had
gone to this little-frequented building
to find out how much hay remained In
it and upon going to the loft found
the badly decomposed body OF man.
He at once notified the selectmen
who in turn notified Undertaken J.
Ed. Walbridge.
1t was then so late, however, that
no effort was made to identify the
remains. The body was taken to the
nearby Walbridge Homestead, where
Burt Sloat, with whom the old man
resided, identified 1t as the remains
of the missing Leander M. Towslee
this morning.
Leander M. Towslee, veteran Of
the Civil War, left the home OF his
son-in-laW Burt Sloat Of Putnam
street March g. He stated that he
expected money from the west where
he said, he had property which had
just been sold. 1t was to be address
ed to him at North Bennington.
Money was given to him to go to that
village At Hinsdillville he left the
trolley to visit an old friend, Henry
Young. He told Mr.. Young that he
had come over to Hinsdillville to pur-
chase a COW and left him going in

THREE Persisted IN FIRE
6oathouse Owned by William Barnes
Of Albany Burned.

Nantucket, Mass, June 26.-Two
young women, Helen Wilson of New
York city and Mildred De Haven of
Brooklyn, and a valet, Ulsses Pahud,
lost their lives in fire which de-
stroyed a boat house owned by VIII
liam Barnes, Jr, of Albany Saturday
night. Several others were injured,
two of them, Thomas Kerr of New
York city and valet, so badly that
they may not recover.
In the party also were Thurlow
Weed Barnes, II, son of the owner OF
the boat house; Harry Wilson, Jr.,
Phoebe Judkins, Ruth Wilson and a
Miss Tanner, all of New York, and
Manuel Ray, butler employed by

Helen Wilson, one of the dead, was
the daughter of Ii. r. Wilson of New
York. Mildred De Haven, the other
victim, was the daughter of Hugh De
Haven of Brooklyn, Pahud was Mr.
Barnes valet He was badly burned
and died in a hospital at midnight.
According to the story told by the
young people who escaped, the fire
was. started by match thrown on q
recently oiled floor Almost immedi
ately the room was filled with flames
and those who escaped did so only by
jumping overheard. The butler was
one of the last to leave and he and
Kerr were both seriously burned
while others of the party suffered
minor injuries.
The bodies of the dead were burn
ed beyond recognition.
The death of Miss Wilson was re
ported to her mother, who is a CUES
at a hotel here, by the girls brother
and sister, Harry and Ruth Wilson
They rushed into the hotel with thei
clothing dripping, saying: Mamma
we did all we could to save Heller
but she is burned to a crisp
The mother collapsed

enough to do effective work. Tn
young people who escaped death b
jumping into the water were rescue
by summer people who were attracte

help.
The only members of the party t
escape without injury were Harr

rapidly maturing, but nothing seems
to be said about making provision
for surface water. During a recent
summer shower it was impossible for
a man of ordinary stature, not an
athlete, to cross from the post Office
to the Savings Bank without wading
over shoe in water and oil not men
tioning other ingredients; a not
uncommon occurrence in summer and
in winter conditions are much worse,
involving untold expense in an almost
futile effort to keep the cutters clean
If Bennington is to continue to
be progressive town, the time Is not
distant when the business part of
Main street will be cleared of sur
face water in summer and slush in
winter, at whatever cost. Why not
do it now, to the extent that the
street is to be paved and avoid the
extra expense of doing it after, and
doing irreparabe damage to the pave
ment besides?

F. RICE SHOOTS ANOTHER DEER
Informs Game Warden Higgins That
Animal Was Destroying His Oats

Frank Rice, who lives in the Cole
Vile district, informed County Game
Warden Higgins Saturday that he had
shot a deer which he caught in his
oat patch. The deer, believed to be
doe, was shot early in the morning
As. soon as he was informed OF the
shooting the warden at once went to
the Rice farm and made an investiga-
ton The deer was trailed by clots
of blood for some distance through a
swamp but the warden was unable to
find the animal
Mr., Rice has experienced much
trouble with deer on his premises
and has made a collection Of claims
for damages from the state. There is
at the present time case in munich
pal court against him for shooting a
deer on his land and not complying
with the provisions of the statute.
The other deer was large buck and
was found dead some distance from
the place where it was shot. The
| case would have been tried last Sat
urday but for the fact that States
Attorney w. j Meagher was too busy
with the criminal cases to be brought
before the present term of county

DEFEAT EXPECTED
TODAY FOR ROOT
AMENDMENT
Reciprocity Measure Will Be
Without Senatorial Addition.
LA FOLLETTE'S AMENDMENTS
Western Senator VIII Offer Amend
ment-StruggIe viii come on
Wool and Free Lists Bills.

Washington, June 26.-The Root
amendment to the wood pulp schedule
of the Canadian reciprocity bill,
which the administration has been
fighting as fatal to the agreement,
will undoubtedly be defeated before
the Senate adjourns today The
Democrats and many Republicans
who favor reciprocity openly oppose
it.
With this amendment out of the
way the tariff debate will assume a
wider scope. The wool tariff and the
free list bills, as the Democratic
House passed them, do not in their
exact terms meet the approval of the
Democrats in the Senate or the Repub
lican insurgents. but they form the
text for the struggle that is to bring
Canadian reciprocity and the whole
tariff question into the open for pro
tracted discussion.
The extent to which the insurgent
senators will be inclined to go is eX-
pected to be made clear this week,
SO far they have only indirectly in
ulCdltu tldl tity ldNoi All thS Ndlu
able tariff reductions which they can
extract from the situation.
There is a decided lack OF Demo
cratic support, howyer, for the pro
posals which the insurgents have
limited at
Senator La Toilette is working on
general amendments that he will of
fer to the reciprocity bill and to the
wool and free list bills. He is deter
mined to strike for general plan OF
revision of the more important sche
dulles of the tariff law His action and
his amendments are being awaited by
insurgents, who do not care to begin
opposition until they know what h'
proposes, and the effect his argu
ments hace. Meantime they are pre-
pairing for the fight, which promises
TO be confined principally to insur
gents and a few Democrats.
The bill for the direct election o
senators will be considered this weel
by conference committee representing
the two Houses. and there Is posi-
bility of the territories bill being TAX
en- up by the Senate during the weel
as a relief from the tariff debate.
