Master Mechanic Drowned at Dam.

A shocking accident happened at the
Connecticut River Power company $
plant about p. m. Sunday. when Rich
ard Whelan, 20, was drowned. Three
men, Thomas owens, Richard Whelan
and his younger brother, Martin WHEEL
an, were at work in a scow well
toward the east side of the river when
they noticed there was too much slack
in the guy wire that was supposed to
hold the boat from going down stream
Richard Whelan strove to reach the dog
that controls this wire, but the boat
was already so close to the dam that
the rush of high water tipped 1t over
the edge Mr. owens and Richard Whe-
Ian were thrown over the dam. The
younger Whelan jumped and grasped
one of the pins which hold the flash
boards in position, thereby saving him
self. owens was badly hurt in one leg
and sustained numerous bruises. 1t is
thought that Richard Whelan struck
the rocks below the dam and was
stunned. as he did not come to the sur
face, and all efforts to locate the body
thus far have proved unavaiing.
Mr.. Whelan leaves his wife and
three small children, his father and
mother and a brother He was a
pleasant, genial man, a great ia
vorite with his associates, a eompe-
tent workman and recently received
promotion to the position of master
mechanic. Solemn high mass of requiem
was held in st. Michaels Roman
Catholic church in Brattleboro Wednes-
day morning.

Captain Sullivan was emphatic In
HIS denial that women and children
had been clubbed, despite the asser-
tlon OF other witnesses. He also de-
MED that there was any violence on
the day the children were to be taken
to Philadelphia Other witnesses had
testified that children were torclbly
torn from the arms OF mothers. and
that women had been brutally clubbed
when they attempted to regain possess
sion OF them. Sullivan explained that
the boys and girls were prevented
from leaving because the adults with
them refused to say whether they
were the parents of the children.
Sullivan added:
The children we're not thrown
about, but we're picked up gently. The
women offered no resistance. They
wished to appear as martyrsn

AROUND ROGERS
IUNIrED PRESS LEASED WIRE. /

San Francisco, March 6.--Rapid pro-
gress was made today by the prosecu-

fy against him today, as may also

Washington, March 6.-Mrs. VIII
liam Howard Taft, wife OF the presI-
dent Of the United States was again
an interested spectator today when
the story OF Lawrence was continued
before the house committee on rules.
Although the Lawrence city officials
had their inning today, the interest
of Mrs. Taft, apparently was CEN
tered in the 10 little children with
the mark Of toll stamped upon the
pallid faces, who had come to Wash
ington as living exhibits Of the in
dustrial war In the Lawrence textile
mills.
The first witness today was Police
Commissioner Lynch, Of Lawrence
He admitted that women and child
rem had been Jailed, adding that 'he
didn't know why"
He tried TO minimize the AFFAIR by
asserting that the women and child
rem had been merely detained and
not arrested" but he was unable to
give a reason evn for their deten-
tion.
William d. Haywood who Is con-
ducting the strike for the textile
workers, arrived here today. He
probably will testify concerning al
legged police brutalltles and the
causes which led $4,000 men, women
and children to walk out In one OF
the bltterest strikes ever inaugural
ed In New England.
Admission that Lawrence strikers
had been dubbed and bayonetted was
made by John Nulllven, captain OF
Lawrence police Sullivan's testimony
came whens Police Commissioner
Lynch told the commite that II the
strikers had been dubbed that Cap
tain Sullivan was responsible for the
order
Commissioner Lynch told the com
mittee that city officials tried to ar
range a meeting between the strikers
and the mill owners to settle their diff
ferences The strikers were willing,
he said, but the operators refused to
deal with the strikers, except as In
dividuals. Lynch said
81 saw the crowds stormlng the Jail
and asked the mayor to call out the
militia. The children were prevented
from leaving Lawrence because II
was feared they would not be proper
ly cared for" Commissioner Lynch
admitted that he did not read the law
under which the police were ordered
to insist on the strikers giving a
written consent TO the removal OF
children. He added that II women and
children were clubbed and arrested
Captain Sullivan was responsible.
Sullivan then testified, He admit
ted that lG-year-old hoy had been
bayonetted, but declared that his In
jury was not serious The strikers
he said, wrecked trolley cars and
threw ice at passengers, adding that
he and companion clubbed some OF
the strikers to restore order. He In
sisted that such action was necessary
