Harold Lanoue Drowned at
North VaSSaIbOrO.
Was Skating on Mil Pond--At-
tempts to Save Him Futile.
Three Others Thrown into Wafer
Body Recovered Shortly After.

North Vassalboro, Me-, Dec. 81
(SpeciaD Harold Lanoue, the 9
year old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Lanoue, was drowned at about 2.90
the ice on which he was skating gave
away, allowing him to sink in about
five feet of water. Young Lanoue was
skating with four other companions
and at the time of the accident was
cutting circles near the bridge, be-
tween what is known as the old post
office and w. A. Lords store.
The ice gave away and three of the
boys were thrown into the water. The
names of the boys besides Lanoue
were: Edward Dyer, Elmer Goodrlch
and Joseph Popleigski. Popleigski and
Goodrich at once swan to the ice and
pulled themselves out of the water.
Dyer remained by the side of the
drowning lad in an endeavor to save
him, but was forced to abandon the
attempt in order to save his own. Dyer
climbed out of the water on to the
ice and called to Lanoue Come over
here, over this way but the young
lad, chilled by the icy water, was
helpless and sank beneath the sur
face.
John Pepleigski, who was a short
distance from the spot where the ice
broke, did not go in. a pair of horses
which were near We're taken and
driven to the home of Archie Lord,
where a boat was secured and hauled
to the scene of the accident. A few
minutes later the body was dragged
from the water By William 0'keefe
who headed the party. Coroners Hus-
sey of Vassalboro and Berry of Water
Vile were notified but deemed an in
quest unnecessary.
Previous to the drowning of young
Lanoue two other boys had fallen into
Z the water about leo yards to the south
of the American Wooden Cos. mill,
one of them a brother of Lanoue. The
other was Herbert Lancaster.

arms grew weary or feet stumbled on
the slippery roadway, companions re-
lieved them of their burden.
Persons drawn to tine Calumet sole
ly by the curiosity of the spectator be-
cam mourners as this contingent pass
ed them. Men turned away to brush
tears from their cheeks. Women, espe-
cially the mothers in the crowd, sobbed
openly and dozens, unable to endure
the sight, rushed from the streets, TAX
ing refuge in homes where yuletide had
not been directly saddened by death.
Tear-stained faces were numerous
among the toil-hardened men, who car
ried the collins. They bore the bodies
of their companions children and many
a rough sleeve was brushed across
the eyes which were concealed by
peaked caps drawn far forward
Fifty singers chanted hymns in the
wake of the children carriers. Most of
these We're English miners, who had
learned in Cornwall to chant Christmas
carols in the streets years ago and
brought this old custom to the copper
country. Today, however, they did not
sing songs of a new life born. Jesus,
Lover of My Soul" Rock of Ages,
and Nearer My God to Thee" came
from throats thick with emotion, but
the harmones were full and rich.
As the singers turned into Pine street,
which leads to the cemetery road, the
open ranks of marchers wheeled into
line. Ishpeming and Negaune men
came first, followed by brass band,
and the members of the copper country
locals.
The last mareher had scarcely start
ed from Calumet before the head of the
procession had reached the cemetery
gates, two miles away. All but dozen
of the burials were in common graves
dug yesterday by members of the
union. The ground belongs to the Fed

hence.

Interstate Commerce Com.
Asks Series Of Questions.
Requests Suggestions as to
Course 10 Be Pursued.
Detailed Information as to Present
Rates Yield Of Adequate Revenues.

Washington, Dec pa series OF in-
terrogatories was addressed by the In
terstate Commerce Commission Satur-
day to the railroads of Eastern classi-
fication territory regarding their petit
ton for an advance of per cent. In
their freight rates. The inquiries are
designed to develop such facts concern
ing the physical and financial opera
tons CT the roads as heretofore have
not been submitted to the commission.
The commission points out that the
fundamental questions which have
arisen in the advance rate preceding
are:
DO the present rates of transporta-
ton yield adequate revenues to COM
mon carriers by railroad operation in
official classification territory?
IF not, what general course may
carriers pursue to meet the situation1
The commission says that elaborate
and helpful information already has
been submitted by the roads, showing
the diminishing net returns from oper-
alton and lessened net income.
These statements of the financial
results the commissions statement
continues, do not furnish fully the
data deemed by the commission to be
necessary to determine the general
course carriers may pursue to meet
the situation. The commission requires
for this purpose additional informa-
ton from the railroads with a view
to determining both the cause of the di.
minishing net revenues and net income
and the general course to be pursued
The commission understands thai
some of the railroads can soon make
full responses to the questions SUBJ
mitted, while others will require some
time to compile the data ordered.
The inquiries are divided into sever
groups, which go to the heart of both
physical ana financial operations OF
the road. The groups deal with the
revenues and their conservation; re.
turns received from transportation OF
various commodities ami practices OF
carriers in granting to shippers specia
service and allowances the purchases
of equipment and supplies, and the
uses made of them; financial history OF
the roads; inquiries to develop infor.

est of directors, officers and employees
of tne roads, lin the business of par.
ties to transactions in which the road.

NO TERMS.
Nothing Less Than

els, Says Gen. Villa.

Chihuahua, Mex, Dec. 2S.-"Nothing
less than the fall of Huerta and his
Punishment from the country will ever
be considered as a preliminary toward
peace in Mexico" said Gen. Francisco
Villa. An overture for compromise
would be treated with contempt by
The revolutionists."
General Villa was prompted to dis
cuss the subject because of the rope
tition of a report from Mexico city
that Gen. Huerta might resign in ia
vor of a member of his cabinet. AS
The report also stated that Gen. Huer-
ia was thinking of taking the field
against the rebels it was not regard
ed in any way as a possible peace
move The subject of peace, however,
came up in Gen. Villas counsels, and
he rebel leader was moved to outline
the rebels views in case of future
events brought them to consideration.
In substance the terms demanded by
he rebels are:
THE elimination of Gen. Huerta and
his supporters.
The complete surrender to the Con-
stitutionalists cause Of politicians now
opposing it.
The restoration OF The Constitution.
THE selection OF Provisional Pres
dent acceptable to the Constitutional
lists and provisions for a popular cleo
ton.
Guarantee of change in the laaa
laws so that deeds to land would be
more generally distributed.
Ratification of eonAseation by the
rebels OF the vast TeTrazas, Creel and
other estates valued al many millions
OF dollars.
Qualification OF all acts of the HUI
erta regime"
Opinions of General Villas admir-
ers were that Gen. Hgerta would not
resign ana that the rebels must ad-
here to their original plan of fighting
their way TO Mexico City.
Our cause has progressed to such
a point that we would trust any sus-
gestions of a compromise with con-
tempt" said Gen. villa. We regard
Huerta as a traitor who has dragged
his country through blood for his per-
sonal ambitions. We have gone
through so much distress for the sake
of freedom that we would not now
stop short of it.
"Within few months we have won
almost all of the north from the usurp-
er. Our forces have increased from a few
hundred until they now number more
than 10000. This number will grow, for
in every city that we take hundreds are
ready to join. BY the time we reach the
City of Mexico we shall have enough
men in arms to completely oyerwhelm
the Federals. And we intend TO fight un-
til there is no more lighting to do
The idea that Gen Huerta might take
the field against the rebels, Gen. Villa
said, caused no terror to him, although
Gen. Huerta is familiar with the north
country. having commanded forces here
during the Orozco revolt against Madero
THE rebels are cor hdent that as soon
as the expedition against the Federals
at Oiinaga is settled they will be in a
position to advance southwark without
leaving Federals at their rear.

CATION of less than hundred an heard
a remarkable sermon on the personal
accountability OF the individual to his

The President and Mrs. Wilson, ac-

Jones was as surprised as any of his
congregation at the arrival of the dis

When the sermon was finished choir
