LOSES S2,OOO,OOO
IF ADOPTION IS
PERMITTED
Small Boy Would Be Deprived
of Fortune
BY HIS GRANOFATHER'S WILL
Mother Divorced and Married Again
Wants New Husbands Name
For Her Son.

New York, May 24.-The transfer
of fortune amounting TO at least
100000 depends upon whether a
five-year-old boy shall go through
life bearing the adopted name of
Henry Barclay Perry and perhaps
begin life penniless, or have restored
to him his family name, Henry Fran
els Shoemaker, which he was named
at birth in memory of his grandfath-
er, Henry Francis Shoemaker, the
banker, 90 Wall street and start life
with millions.
Recently Henry w. Shoemaker,
father of the boy and son of the bank
er, made the discovery that his d.
vorced wife, who is now living in
Seattle, Wash, and married 10 DR..
Richard Perry, had obtained an or
der from the courts permitting her
and her second husband to adopt the
boy and change his name to Henry
Barclay Perry. Henry w. Shoe
maker, his father, has commenced an
action in the Superior Court at
Seattle for the annulment of this
order of adoption on the ground that
it would mean "a lifetime OF injus-
tice" TO the boy, because it would
deprive him of the love and protect
ion of his paternal relatives and his
rightful inheritance.
While little Henry is unconscious
of the heartburns his change of his
name has caused his father, grand
father. and grandmother, and knows
nothing OF the fortune at stake, or
the reasons for his new name, his
mother has announced that he will
be amply provided for under his new
name. It. is said she will oppose the
attempt to restore the family name,
because of her personal antipathy to
the Shoemaker family. Henry Fran
els Shoemaker has provided a be-
quest for his grandson of $4,000, 900
A representative of the family said
the amount might be more, but will
not be less, although it will depend
upon his bearing the family name.

MANSLAUGHTER IS
GOODRICH CASE
CONVICTION
Found Guilty Of Causing Death
of Negro Boy
MAN SHOWS NO EMOTION
Will Be Sentenced Monday Together
With Two Accomplices In
Crime

Burlington, May 23.-Henry Good
rich of South Burlington was found
guilty of manslaughter in Chittenden
County court today. Goodrich was
one of the trio who threw Sam
Rounds, negro, into the Winooski
river at Bolton on April 10. The re-
spondent took the verdict cody. The
jury received the case at IL o'clock
this morning and reported when
court came in at 2 o'clock.
Goodrich was taken to Jail to
await sentence. James Sweeney and
Henry McCabe. who pleaded guilty,
in connection with the same case,
are also in Jail awaiting sentence.
States Attorney Hopkins said that
he would move for sentence in all
three cases on Monday. That the
crime of manslaughter of which
Goodrich was found guilty is capable
of Interpretation in many degrees is
shown by the fact that the penalty
in Vermont ranges from life i'm
prisonment down to one year or a
fine of $1,000.
In giving the case to the jury
Judge E. l.. Waterman dwelt upon
the fact that Goodrich was purely a
volunteer in the action that resulted
in the death of the negro, as the re-
spondent was not a section man and
had no personal grievance against
Rounds, as others alleged they had.

SEWING CLASS EXHIBIT
Nineteen Bennington School Girls
Made Their Own Dresses.

The Latin classroom at the high
school Friday afternoon appeared
more like the showroom of a de-
partment store, than like a school
classroom, and particularly Latin
classroom. Around the walls hung
nineteen dresses, of all sizes, large
and small, and of many colors, al
though pink and blue seemed to have
been the favorite shades. The dress
es represent the final work of the
girls of the sewing class. Some of
the dresses were all the more re-
markable, as they represented the
work of girls, who, at the beginning
of the course, only a half year ago,
had had very little experience. Each
girl chose her own pattern and ma
terial, and then proceeded to cut
out and make her dress. In some
cases, the girls helped to fit one an
other, so that the work has been
especially practical. Besides givt
ing the girls the experience, the
course has also inspired a liking for
this kind of work and many are now
helping with the sewing at home
who previously took little or no in
terest in this department.
The course is planned to give prac-
teal instruction in plain sewing,
simple millinery, dressmaking and
embroidery. With this in view, the
work covers four years progressing
gradually from the simplest to the
more difficult features.
The sewing class is taught by Miss
Hazel Mcleod and is composed most
ly of girls from the freshman class.
There are nineteen members, five of
them girls from the teachers train
ing course.
The work will be on exhibition
each day next week from eight un-
til one o'clock.
