Lawrence, Mass, Feb "A mystic
rious quadruple murder in which two
men and two women were killed by
stabbing, three of them having their
threats cut as they lay in bed and the
fourth killed only after desperate
fight, was revealed. tonight, by the
discovery of the bodies Of the victims
on the second floor of 4 four-family
house in the rear of 137 Valley street,
snear the heart of the city.
The dead are: Mrs. Annie E. Tan
guay-Dennis, aged 30 years.
Mrs. Mary Savia, aged 30 years.
Joseph SaVia, her husband, aged %
years.
Unknown man, aged about So years.
The murders took place at an early
hour this morning, it is believed. 9th
er tenants of the house heard a dis
turbanee, about 3 o'clock. at which
time Miss Ida Muslin. who lives on
the same floor with the Sasias. after
being aroused by a loud scream, fol-
lowed by a mans means. heard a door
shut in the Savia apartments. Looking
out of the window she saw a man
with his sleeves rolled up and carry
ing what appeared to be long knife
walk ont through the alley into Valley
street.
That the butchery of the whole
household was an act of vengeance on
the part of some man who had a fan
cied grievance against the occupants
of the tenents is the conclusion drawn
by the police, following their preliini-
nary investigation of the crime.
None of the victims We're mill work
ers or had any connection with the

GOVERNMENT CRITICISED.

New York, Feb 2.-sSomebody in
this country is making a colossal mis-
take. What we need is more patriotism
and less politics.
George w. Perkins, formerly of j.
p Morgan e. Co, thus complained of
the federal governments attitude to-
ward corporations in an address de-
livered here, tonight, before the Traf-
fic Club, an organization of railroad
men and merchants.
There is no logical connection" said
Mr.. Perkins. between the evils that
have existed in our large industrial
concerns and the remedies that the
government is trying to apply. In place
OF regulation we are given segrega-
ton and are told that dissolution is
the solution while every practical man
knows that dissolution is mere delu
sion. Government regulation is all
right. but government repression is all
wrong.
The Republican party in its plat
form of four years ago in speaking of
the Sherman law, declared as follows:
Experience has shown that its er-
fectiyeness can be strengthened and
it's real objects better attained by
SucI dIIflQHle0lS as VIII give " tiS
federal government greater supervis-
ion and control over and secure great
err publicity in the management of that
class of corporations engaged in in
terstate commerce having power and
opportunity to effect monopolies.
There can be no installing the lam
guage used. The Republican party ex-
pressed itself as being in favor of
amending the sherman act. At the
Same time the Democratic party de-
clared for a policy that would prohibit
the control by manufacturing or

state commerce of more than 80 per
cent. Of the total amount of any prod
net consumed in the United States

Gals were emphatic in their state
ments that the unusual crime had alb
solutely no relation to the existing

IN support of their contention that
the murders were committed by some
man in retaliation for treatment re-
ceived at the house, the police said
enc of The women, Mrs. Dennis, had
been in court several times and that
the resort had an unsavofy reputation.
When the police went to the house,

Prominent among the Maine people
in Washington of late has been ex-
Representative Charles E. Littlefield,
formerly of Rockland, and now an at
torney in New York. AS an attorney
the former Maine congressman is ac-
cepting deal of congressional en-
ployment. This is the season of the
year, when there is much advocacy
of legislation and also opposition to
legislation proposed The champions
ard opponents are pleading their re-
spective causes before various COM
mittees of Congress and. if the causes
involve large business affairs, the
champions and opponents bring at
torneys to Washington with them.
Of course the prominence of Mr..
Littlefeld and the familiarity he had
with legislative affairs because of his
considerable service at Washington
enables him to conduct these matters
affecting proposed legislation with
some prestige. He was recently en-
gagged as an attorney in the vigorous
fight that the United Shoe Machinery
Co. OF Boston and Beverly, has before
the Senate and House in connection
with bills that propose TO supplement
the Sherman antitrust law. Several
bills have been introduced and are
now pending in the Senate and House,
which, il enacted into law, would eur
tail the rights of holders of patents.
Many shoe manufacturers from the
West and a few from the East. includ-
ing Charles II. Jones of Boston, who
has factories at Whitman. Mass, and
in Maine. have been here to urge the
enactment of these restricting clauses
into law. It looks as though an effort
would be made in that direction. al
though there may be much difficulty
sooner or later in getting the bills as
