CRIPPLED MAN
ARRESTED FOR AS
SAULTING MOTHER
Latter, Mrs. Elsie Tracy, Died At East
Fairfield, Probably From Exposure
Rather Than From Injuries.

st. Adams, March Am inquest was
held at East Fairfield yesterday after
noon to inquire into the death of Mrs.
Elsie Tracy, who died last Friday, after
two days illness, and as a result Of
the inquiry, her crippled son, James
Tracy, is under arrest in the Franklin
county jail here. The inquest was held
before Assistant Judge E. w. Foster,
being conducted by States Attorney
Gaylord Ladd of Richford. The charge
against Tracy is aggravated assault, that
is, assault with dangerous weapon.
Last Wednesday Mrs. Tracy's neigh
bors found her lying on the floor near
the kitchen stove in her home, in
condition which would indicate she had
probably been assaulted. She had ap.
parently been on the floor for some time,
as there was no fire in the stove and
1t is thought that pneumonia, the re-
suit of this exposure, was the direct
cause of her death
One arm and other parts of her body
were badly bruised. The theory is that
the young man, who is "a or 25 years
old, got into quarrel with his mother
and beat her. The charge against him
is not murder, inasmuch as she died of
pneumonia.

Washington, ID. G., March 4.-Presi

it remains only to send the formal no

for several days and chief interest cen

would receive the portfolios of war, ag-

The selection of Vice Chancellor Gar.

of the war department should be man
of unusual administrative ability. Sup
ervision of the island possessions of the
United States, including the Philippines
and the Panama canal zone, will be i'm
portant factors under the new admins
tration and this burden will fall on the
head of the war department. Vice Chan
cellor Garrison is a close friend of Mr..
Wilson and is regarded as one of the
best men New Jersey has ever elevated
to the bench.
The choosing OF David Franklin Hous
ton, chancellor Of Washington universi

agriculture also occasions little surprise
as Mr.. Wilson's intimate knowledge of

WILSON'S INAUGURAL.
gncoming President Appealed To All
People For Cooperation.

There has been change of govern.
ment. 1t began two years ago, when
the House of Representatives became
Democratic by decisive majority. 1t
has now been completed. The Senate
about to assemble will also be Demo
cratic. The offices of president and vice
president have been put into the hands
of Democrats. What does the change
meang That is the question that is
uppermost in our minds to-day. That is
the question | am going to try to answer,
in order, if | may, to interpret the
occasion.
1t means much more than the mere
success of a party. The success of a
party means little except when the ma
ton is using that party for a large
and definite purpose. No one can mis-
take the purpose for which the nation
now seeks to use the Democratic party.
II seeks to use it to interpret a change
in its own plans and point of view.
Some old things with which we had
grown familiar, and which had begun
to creep into the very habit of our
thought and of our lives, have altered
their aspect as we have latterly looked
critically upon them, with fresh. awak-
ened eyes; have dropped their DISCUSSES
and shown themselves alien and sinister.
Some new things, as we look frankly
upon them, willing to comprehend their
real character, have come to assume the
aspect of things long believed in and
familiar. stuff of our own convictions.
We have been refreshed by a new in

vermont's Educational Advance.

! Important constructive work along
educational lines stands to the credrt
of the recently adjourned Vermont leg
| islature. To blaze paths of future re-
| form a commission to investigate and
report on the educational needs of the
state was provided for. One of the
members of this commission, which has
already begun its inquiries, is Presi-
dent Butler of Columbia university.
Systematic investigations of the same
subject, or rather parts of it, there have
been but none furnishing a definite,
comprehensive programme. The Russell
Sage Foundation rated the schools of
Vermont twelfth among those of the
states of the union on basis of gen
eral excellence. Professor Raymond Nc
Farand of Middlebury college, with his
critical report on Secondary Education
in Vermont" helped to prepare the way
for the reorganization of the state board
of education. For the legislators of
1928 did not wait for the report of
the investigating commission before be-
ginning to overhaul and alter. To the
state board was given general super
vision over the secondary schools, in ad
dition to its former control of the nor
NAL schools. The board will incidental

rural schools which has been found to
be full both of imporfections and of
promise. 1t will have power also to
effect better combination of school
moneys and more equitable dstribu-
tion thereof
But the most striking change brought
about by the act lies in power of the
new board to appoint the superintend-
ent of education, who after the present
biennial term becomes the executive
agent of the board. Heretofore the
choice of the state superintendent has
lain with the legislature. producing
condition which. it is said. tempts and
enables an incumbent of the office to
spend great deal of his time, energies
and capacities in canvassing for re-elec- {
tion.

100000 Visitors in City.
Inauguration day dawned cold and
gray, but such discom forts as attended
the Inauguration blizzard four years ago
were not threatened, though every pre-
caution had been made for them. All
over the city there was an air of ex-
pectancy, and the finishing touches were
being put on everywhere. 1t was esti-
mated that 100000 visitors were in
town. Three hours before the Capitol
ceremonies were scheduled to begin, the
entire east front was packed with a
crowd.
After breakfast, President-elec Will
son received the newspaper correspon-
dents who had been travelling with him,
but practically nothing else was sched-
uled for his attention before the inaugu-
ration committee was due to call to
take him to the White House to begin
his ride to the Capitol.
One early caller asked Mr.. Wilson if
he had anything to say to the American
people on the morning of his Inaugural
tion.
"Tll wait till noon" Mr.. Wilson re.
piled, smiling.

Vermont's Town Meeting
Day Opened Favorably
This Morning
ADDED INCENTIVES
TO CALL OUT VOTERS
Proposed Amendments to
the State Constitution a
Strong Factor

A clear winter morning ushered in
Nermont's annual town meeting day, in
dicating that the vote cast in the 24G
cities and towns of the state would be
large in most instances. In addition to
the usual local contests and the local
option vote on the liquor question, the
voters had before them to-day eight
propositions for changes in the organic
law of the state, the legislature hav-
ing presented eight recommendations for
ratification or disapproval. Such of the
as shall receive majority
of the votes will become part OF the
Second in general interest this wear is
the annual acceptance of local policy re-
garding the licensed sale of liquor. Last
year Vermont had the smallest number of
license towns since the local option law
was adopted in 1902, only twenty-one
returning "Yes" majority and only ff-
teen of those cities and towns actually
granting licenses. The six towns which
voted Yes" and failed to carry out
the provisions of the law were: Bloom.
field, Brunswick, Marlboro, Ripton,
Searsburg and Somerset, all of them
small communities.
The fifteen cities and towns which had
license regimes were: Bennington, Beth
u, Burlington, Canaan, Castleton, Fair
Haven, Richford, Rutland City, st. AL
,ans City, Shelburne. Shoreham. Swan
on, Vergennes, Wells and West Rut-
and.
The statistics showing the decrease in
license towns in Vermont since the adop-
ion of the local option are as follows:
n 1908, %; in 1904, 40 in 1905, "a;
n 1906, 80; in 1907, 81; in 1905, 2T,
n 1909, 27; in 1910, 20; in l0ll, %;
n 1912, 81.
Tn addition to the vote on general
licensing of the sale of liquor, the ques-
ion Of local option on granting fifth
lass licenses was on the ballot to-day,
through a recent legislative enactment,
Thich provides that though town may
ote no-license on the general PROPOSE
ion it may vote to grant hfth,class or
ruggist licenses.
