Carolina defended the use of his par
doing power in freeing persons held for
connection with the lynching of colored
assailants of white women He boasted
that during the 20 months of his term
he had let free 400 such persons and
hoped the number would reach twice
that by the end of his second term. lie
repeated what he often said at home
that he would never call out the militia
ito shoot down their neighbors and
protect black brute who commits the
nameless crime against a white woman"
and he added: Therefore, in South
Carolina let it be understood that when
a negro assaults white woman all that
is needed is that they get the right
man, and they who get him will neither
need nor receive trial"
Gov. Donaghey of Arkansas, on the
contrary. declared death was the fit
penalty for murderers, which lynchers
are. Gov Baldwin of Connecticut urged
the restoration of the whipping post,
ana Gov. Shafroth of Colorado defended

WEALTHY FARMER MURDERED.

Henry Ward Of New Haven junction
Found In Barn With Throat Cut From
Ear to Ear-MotlVe Probably Robbery.
The body of Henry Ward, 20, veal
thy farmer, who lived near New Haven
Junction, was found Tuesday morning
on the floor of his barn with the throat
cut from ear to ear, by Bert Estey and
II. c. Bristol, who went to the premises
to stable their horse. A part Of Wards
overalls had been drawn over his head
and face. One hand was in his pocket
and the other was covered with a heavy
glove. A broken razor was lying near
him and pieces of rope were strewn on
the floor. There was a deep cut in the
mans head, which is thought to indi-
cate that he was knocked down before
his throat was cut. Wards pocketbook,
in which he was accustomed to carry a
large amount of money, was missing, al
so his watch, but there was $50 in a
change bag in the pocket into which his
hand was thrust. officers found SOL in
gold and bills i'm an old trunk in the
house. 1t is believed that robbery was
the motive for the murder. The house
had been entered, as there was a large
clot of blood on the handle of the back
door. Ward had lived alone since the
death of his wife a number of years ago
The only suspect in the case is an ltal
ian who applied for work at New Haven
Junction Monday morning.

Legislators Inspected the Lyndon Agrl-
cultural School.

Speedwel Farms and the Lyndon
agricultural school and institute were
visited Saturday by delegation OF
about 20 legislators, including the
House committees on agriculture and
appropriations
The object of this visit was to give
the lawmakers better knowledge of
what is being done and likely to be
done in this state for elementary agri-
cultural education. Several bills pending
call for appropriations for work of this
kind and it was believed that know
ledge of what Theodore N. Vail is al
ready doing for the state in this line
and some conception of what he plans
to do would have direct bearing upon
the need for such expenditure.
The visitors saw a practical school,
designed to aid without spelling, cal
culated to fit the needs of the average
boy who never goes through high
school, to keep him self-respectlng and
make him lead a clean, joyful, produc-
tive life. They saw an institution which
will not only benefit the 81 boys at pre-
sent either working their way through
the school under the provision which af-
fords any boy work and gives him pay
for his time, or paying the tuition OF
$2O0-but will produce citizens to stay
in Vermont and build her up.
At Lyndonville station the visitors
were met by vehicles ranging from au-
tomobiles to stages, and by John w.
TitcOmb, who, besides being the enthu-
siastic fish and game commissioner, is
the manager of Mr.. Wallis immense
Vermont estate. At Lyndon Centre the
guests were shown into the commojious
three story dormtory and treated to
the wholesome. substantial farm dinner
that the boys of the agricultural school
have every day.
In the dormitory, as elsewhere it is
the policy of the school to reproduce as
nearly as possible the conditions of ac-
tual farm life, that students may not
be rendered unfit for real life by an
unreal training. The only Injuries af-
forded are those which every farm may
afford. Students are required to do jan
itor work and to wait on table.
Practically all the food served at the
school is raised on the school farm. The
legislators were treated to pork raised
there potatoes and tomatoes grown
there, butter from the school creamery
pickles and celery which originated in
the farm gardens, and so on through
the whole menu
After dinner the guests enjoyed a
visit to Speedwell farms, Mr.. Vairs
3000-acre estate.

The biennial report of the officers of
the Vermont state prison at Windsor for

celpts for the period amounted to $780,
S25.6l and the disbursements were $S4,-
640.S7. The convicts' earnings for the

George said, Harry, take good aim and
shoot me-" Not realizing that the gun

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
PRICES HELPER SHELTER.
Drive Against Values Forces Them
 Down-General Reooveries.

New York, Nov 12.-The feature of today's stock market was a vicious drive against quoted values which oc- cured in the middle of the session. Prices fell away rapidly and for a time showed little more than a sem- blance of support. Before the end of the day, however, most losses were fully recovered with a good average of material gains.
 While the selling was at it's height, various disQuieting rumorA were cur rent. These included domestic and foreign political developments and the possible result of the findings of the railway arbitration board in the mat ter of the demands of the eastern en- gineers, to be made known later in the week. There was no apparent justifi- cation for the assumption that the de- cline was even remotely connected with conditions abroad, inasmuch as the European markets were buyers on a fairly liberal scale here, preceding this with a general advance in our stocks in London Moreover, the news from London, Paris and Berlin was all of character to indicate relaxation in the tension created by the war in southeastern Europe.
 Judging from the resiliency mani fested by the market on its rebound, 1t is altogether probable that the early movement constituted little more than a concerted attack by a formidable professional faction whose recent op erations have indicated a pronounced tendency towards the bear side.

NEW FORWARD PASS TRICK.
Wabash Quarterback Works Clever
 Moves in Notrs Dame Game.

What is described as the smartest play of the season is credited by Walter E. Ecke rsa1l, the well-known football authority to Kent Lambert, pride of Wabash and speedy quarter back of the little giants. Eckersail who was referee at the Wabash -Notre Dame game, describes Lambert's work as follows: Quarterback Lambert, of the Wabash eleven, pulled a play in the game between Notre Dame and Wabash which is one of the best sprung since the forward pass was adopted On an incomplete forward pass a penalty of down in inflicted at the spot where the center puts the ball in play on the previous down. AS Notre Dame outweighed the little giants by several pounds, Coach liar per realized his only chance to win was by means of open plays. Consequently he had formations in which the for ward pass was the principal factor.
 "As Lambert is an expert in throw ing the oval, he was the main COZ in all the forward pass plays In most of these plays his team lined up in punt formation. As a result, Lambert was about or 10 yards back of the line of scrimage AS soon as he received the ball from the center he started to run around either end, at the same time looking for some eligi- ble player of his team to whom he could throw the ball. In his attempts to pick out some member if his team who was not covered Lambert was gradually forced back toward his own goal. When he realized that it was impossible to make a forward pass with members of the opposing team closing in on him, he simply threw the ball forward a couple of yards, making an incomplete forward pass when he was fully 20 yards back of the point from which the center put the ball in play
 JAS result, the ball was brought back to the point of the previous down and the penalty of down in- flicted This is the, first time that an advantage has been taken of the for ward pass rule, and 1t Is a mighty good trick at times. Lambert pulled this stunt no less than half dozen times. Even the Notre Dame coach and players had nothing but praise for the player who had brains enough to take advantage of a technicality in the rules. In all probability the rules committee will legislate against such procedure next season. Lambert saved his team at least 100 yards.
 Another clever piece of work which Lambert got away with which furnish ed food fo rthought for the committee at it's annual meeting is throwing the

HAS HIT OVER 300
 FOR SIXTEEN YEARS
Hans Wagner Still Pounding the
 Horsehide.

This is the unparalleled achievement of John (Hans) Wagner, the wonder ful shortstop of the Pittsburg baseball club; the man who goes along year after year, hitting the ball with the same deadly precision that has made him a nightmare to pitchers ever since he joined the Louisville club in 1897.
 Hans finished the season of 1912 with an unofficial batting average of 1926 (the official figures won't change it much), a figure he has fallen below but twice in his big league career He batted .320 in 1910 and 1905 in 1898. He has played in 2,169 games, been at bat 8.23S times, scored 1,502 runs, made 2,S29 hits. and stolen $40 bases.
 And Hans closed the year without noticeable loss of his marvellous speed, dimness of eye or lack of deXterity in the greatest pair of hands in baseball.
 Before Hans Wagner established his record, Pop Anson was peerless among the games great batters. Anson's record was 15 straight years in the 300 class.
 Wagner, barring accidents, will be with the Pirates in 1911, and 1t is to be expected that he will again bat bet ter than 300 and establish a record of IT successive years in the 300 class.

SLIDING SCALE LIMIT
 FOR MINOR LEAGUES
Fixed Salaries for Leagues According
 to Class.

Milwaukee. Nov. 12.-A sliding scale" salary limit probably will be adopted by the National Association of Minor Leagues, it was said here to- night by magnates who discussed the matter at the brief opening session of the associations annual meeting to- day. According to a plan Informally broached. a limit for each league graded according to it's class will be proposed and after some possible ad- iustment of detail will become a rule, the magnates predicted.
 Serious opposition to salary limit that they thought would tend to i'm pair the quality of basebalP' developed among representatives of the Ameri- can association and the International league. Some magnates appeared afraid of confusion from the sliding scale" and several favored deposit with the league president of all players salary money and a penalty for payment to a player of sums other than the ac- knowledged contract price.
 After President NJ. H. Sexton called the meeting to order, reports were read, routine preliminary business was disposed of. credentials examined and committees appointed. In the crowd which thronged a hotel where the meeting was held were the lead ing baseball men of the country, all denying that they were selling or buy ing, yet all cautiously inquiring about new and promising players.
 The salary limit question will be the principal matter of official business to appear before the association at it's meetings tomorrow and the day after. That it would not be settled without a fight 1t was agreed, and the conten- ton promised to extend the meeting by a prolonged wTangle.
 President Charles W. Murphy and Manager Evers of the Chicago Ma tionals appeared at the meeting. but neither would admit more interest in the proceedings than a desire to pro- mote personal friendship with Ameri- can baseball menA They laughed at talk of a trade for Joe Tinker and said they were just looking around"

VARSITY SCORES ON SCRUBS.
Two Hours of Hard Practice for Yale Wheeler to Start Princeton Game at Quarter.

New Haven, Nov. 13.-Head Coach Howe sent the Yale football team through two hours of driving practice on Yale field this afternoon, the var sity scoring two tOuchdownS against the scrubs. Howe himself got into the game, running the scrub team at quarter, with Ted Coy as scrub full back The practice was secret. but 1t is said that the varsity worked several new offensive formations with good success.
 Galtaur, who has been playing end this season, was shifted to the scrubs, as tackle. The varsity wing positions were held down by Bomeisler and Av- cry, the former making several fine runs from forward passes.
 Pumpelly played a fine game at half back for the scrubs and he will be first substitute back for the Princeton team. Wheeler ran the varsity at quarterback with snap and he is now expected to start the Princeton game.
 Hard Scrimmaee at Princeton.
 Princeton, N. J., Nov. 12.-Anothet day of hard scrimmage work on Uni versity field marked the Princeton eleven's endeavors to prime up for Sat urday's football game with Yale. For almost an hour and half Coach Gun nlnSndh UdU lH6 fdISi uSA up against the scrubs in the hardest sort of a scrimmage. but the best the reg ulars could do was to run up 8 tie score on their opponents.
 The scrubs score came as result of straight football while the varsity's touchdown was registered on fluke. The scrubs tallied on a touchdown by Thompson and a field goal by Bo- land. Hobey Baker duplicated the lat ter's performance few moments later by booting the bal lover from place ment on the 35 yard line.
 The first teams touchdown was scored by Waller, who gathered in a tumble in mldfleld and dashed fifty yards to the goal line.
 All of the regulars were in the line up, Captain Pendleton being at left halfback; Hobey Baker and Waller al- ternating at right half. President Hfb- ben of the university watched the practice.
