~ b. Thaver. .Ir,. whose sather,
second vice president Of the
Pennsylvania Railway company,
went down with the Titanic, today
gave out an account of his thrilling
experience. Young Thayer, who is II
years old, said:
Father was in bed and mother and
myself were about to get into bed.
There was no great shock. Father and
mother came on deck with me to the
starboard side OF A deck. We walkod
around TO ithe port side and the shin
had then fair list to port, which
slowly increased
We then went down TO our rooms
in G deck and all of us dressed quick

put our ovcrcoats.

TN A quarrel resulting from the
sale Of a pair of 25-cent cuff

of the Socialist party in Utah and
once a candidate for congress on
the Socialist ticket, shot and
killed Thomas Hymes McGillis, a
,lewelry salesman, in the Sorensen
jewelry store, 70 East Second
South street, at 5 30 clock yes
terday afternoon.
Two deputy sheriffs were in
the store at the time and wrestcd
the smoking revolver from Soreu-

four chambers into his victim S
body. A large crowd ip front of
the shop heard the shooting and
saw McGilis fall TO the floor beg

Victim Unarmcd.
McGillis was uuarmed ana, accord
ing to reports, had entered Soreu-
sen S store to effect a peaceful settle
ment Of a dispute that had ragged all
day as to the formers right to sell
cuff aud collar buttons on the sidewalk
in front of the jewelry shop He was
leaning over The counter arguing with
the ieweler when the latter, according
to eve witnesses, reached suddenly be-
hind him and whipped revolver out
of a drawer and began shooting. The

with his hands in the air, calling, For
God s sake, dom shoot" AS he
backed towards the rear OF the tiny
shop, begging for mercy, the second
shot struck him in the neck and he
dropped to tho floor, clutching at the
edge of the counter.
At this point Deputy Sheriffs Axel
Steele and Sanford W. Hedges rushed
in, having heard the first shot as they
were passing on the street. Hedges
sprang over the counter toward Soreu'
sen, but before he could reach him
the latter leaned far over the counter
and deliberately fired two more shots
into McGillis, who lay writhing in agony,
The hammer was raised for the fifth
shot when Hedges srasped the barrel of
the gun and sent Sorensen sprawling
to the floor with heavy blow on the
chin.
The last shot from the slayer's gun
passed through McGillis, penetrated the
counter of the Palace laundry office,

Taft VS.. Roosevelt.

Colonel Roosevelt Aays President
Taft and from another platform the
president fays the colonel, 80 the
newspapers tell us, and their cam
paiQn in Massachusetts Just closed,
which amounted almost to hand
to-hand conflict. surely was an ex-
traordinary spectacle. Colonel Roose-
welt has been trihe stronger in
vituperation than his rival, Mr.. Taft
replying with some strength and
more dignity to the assaults upon
him and his administration.
Colonel Roosevelt harps janglihgly
on his claim that President Taft has
not carried out his policies to the
last detail, which doesn't make out a
perfect case for the ex-president. 1t
may be good thing for the country
that Mr.. Taft has pursued
his own course in various
things to the neglect of his prede-
cessor's somewhat autocratic and
arbitrary schemes in behalf Of tho
people" He has disappointed the
colonel, though the nomination Of Mr..
Taft as being pre-eminently quail
fed for the high Office, is said to have
been dictated by the colonel. II Taft
had really failed utterly as presi-
dent, his failure would be crushing
reflection on the colonel as judge
of men.
The battle between the two Re-
publican rivals is not wholesome
show, and Mis- not surprising that
there is much talk of third candi-
date-not that any other man would
stand better show OF election. bat
it would clear the heayily-laden
atmosphere and Tighten the work of
the Chicago convention.

CHILD WAS HIS INSPIRATION
Remarkably strona Bond Of Affection
Existed Between "Lahby" and
Ills Daughter

Mr.. I.abouchere was a bitter,
sleepless sfos TO cruelty to women and
children. The world knows some Of
the abuses he corrected, but there
are scores of others which have
never come before the public eye,
where children and women have been
rescued from torture, from vice, and
from deception. ~
The explanation of this side Of
his character would at one time
have been reached If Labby could
have been seen patiently rowing a
boat on the Thames at Twickenham
and chatting easily and considerate-
ly with little girl whose piercing
black eyes and expression and even
speech were such a startling repro
duction Of his own, and whose tiny
face bore positively weird resem-
blance to, that Of the portrait of
Labby's handsome mother which
then hung in his dining room. The,
softest spot in Labby's heart the
most effective Inspiration Of most of
his war on wrong and cruelty-was
his frank, simple, pathetic affection
for his little daughter who, now a
woman grown, was present with him
at his Observation-Disclosures Gazette.

The Tribune, however, says that
there may be- other candidates :
There is a hint that Hartland also

Woodstock. VT. May A. 1912

Republican ructions are infectious
and the Democrats Of Vermont are
enjoying q little unpleasantness
among themselvcs--but it may not
be serious and not interfere with a
full vote next November. Some OF
the progressives, or those who have
assumed the name. are dissatisfied
with the management Of party affairs
and hence there is much opposition
TO State Chairman Harris Of Ben
nington, and Thomas III. Browne OF
Rutland, national committeeman, and
an active campaign is on against their
continuance in Office. Ex-Mayor
Burke of Burlington and j. E. Burke
of West Rutland are very active in
the effort to bring about a change in
the organization, and symptoms OF
unrest are noted elsewhere. But
this is called Democratic year,
hence there is little sense in too in
sistent demands for an overturn now,
and in some instances they may be
inspired largely by personal ambition
for honors and office.
