eERksHiRE's FIRST TRIP
More Than 1000 Enjoy outing as Far
as Tarrytown

New York, May 21.-More than q
600 business men and public officials
enjoyed the maiden trip yesterday OF
the Berkshire, the new boat of the
Hudson River Night Line.
The Berkshire will take the place
of the old Adirondack, plying be-
tween New York, Poughkeepsie and
Albany, beginning Thursday night.
The trip was from the lower end
of Manhattan to Tarrytown and re-
turn. Luncheon was served.
Although the Berkshire is the larg-
est and most modern of the Night
line fleet, she resembles her sister
ships, the c. W. Morse and the Tro-
jan.
There are 500 staterooms with
baths.
The decks are of polished mahog-
any and the panels, castings and mir
rors are finished in white and gold.
The dining room, on the main deck,
is nearly 100 feet long and is fitted
with French windows opening on the
deck, where tables may be placed for
luncheon.
The searchlights are larger than
those of the average battleship. The
fire alarm system, with telephones
covering all parts of the ship and
connecting with every room, is as
near perfect as possible.
N II. Campbell, the general mana
ger. and II. J. Curtis, represented the
company on the trip. The following
we're among the guests: julius Har-
burger, Sheriff; Lieutenant Governor
+. +. Howe, of Vermont; r. S. Van
derbilt, Colonel H. NJ. Seeley, w. Y.

tor; Colonel Daniel Appleton, and

SIX KILLED WHEN
TRAIN ROLLED
DOWN HILL
Landslide Carried Away Track
and Train
CAUSED BY A CLOUDBURsT
Accident Occurred on the Chesapeake
and Ohio Near Hinton, West
Virginia.

Hinton w. Va, May 20.-Six per-
sons were killed and number in
jured early tonight when mixed
train on the Sewell' branch of the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad was
swept down steep mountain-side by
Landslide. The train, composed of
an engine, three freight cars and a
caboose, the latter carrying passen-
gers, had stopped between Sewell
and Landisburg to clear away debris
deposited by a cloudburst early in
the day. While this work was in
progress another slide occurred and
the train was thrown from the tracks
down 800 feet of the mountain-side.
Among the dead are James Walker
Of Hinton, travelling salesman,
and Mrs. Amick of Landisburg. A
young girl is known to have been
killed Three other passengers, all
men, known to have been aboard, the
caboose have not been seen since
the accident and are believed to be
dead under the wreckage.
The train left Sewell at o'clock
tonight. The deluge of the day had
caused landslides all along the right
of way. AS the crew labored to clear
away one of these, there was a roar
and tons of earth slipped from the
mountain-side. The train was swept
from the tracks and, engulfed in dirt
and rock. rolled down a mountain
embankment.

-FOUR SUICIDES IN
ONE DAY SHOCK
BOSTON FOLK
Two Men and Their Women
Companions Dead
MEN DID THE SHOOTING
Attempt VIII Be Made to Trace Any
Agreement Between the Two
Couples.

Boston, Mass, May 20.-With bull
let's in their brains, the bodies OF
two men and two women were found
in different Boston hotels today.
The women apparently had been
slain by the men, who then shot
themselves. The dead are:
Janniro, William, a street car con-
ductor of Woburn.
Quinn, Margery, twenty-one years
old, of Roxbury.
Huber, Charles, twenty eight years
old, son of a Roxbury liquor dealer.
Gormley, Mrs. Benjamin, thirty
years old, of Roxbury.
No explanation was left by the
men or women. The bodies were
found about the same time this az
ternoon and sent to the morgue,
where autopsies were performed by
DR.. George b. MaGrath, medical ex-
aminer.
The coincidence of the double MUIR
der and suicide, the circumstances OF
which were strikingly similar, was
considered so remarkable by the po-
lice that investigation tonight was
turned to discover, If possible, II
there was any connection between
the tragedies.
Both couples had registered under
fictitious names, one as William
Russell and wife. of Providence" the
other as "Mr and Mrs Charles Young
of Manchester, N. H."
1t was learned later that the last
named couple, Janniro and Miss
Quinn, were 10 have been married
quietly in Woburn last Friday, but
the ceremony did not take place.
Friends of Janniro said he had learn
ed at the last moment that his
fiancee had been married previously
and had child four years old.
When the bodies were found a re-
voiver with two chambers empty was
lying at Janniro's right hand. Both
the man and woman had been shot
through the head. There were no
signs of a struggle.
In the case of the other couple al
so a revolver was found close to the
mans right hand and there were no
indications of struggle.

senior year and the award is made
on the basis of composition and de-
livery The contest emphasizes
technical excellence rather than
practical effectiveness. Opposed
to Mr.. Healy were two Var
sity debaters and the winner
of a junior prize in public speech.
Mr.. Healy had never before partici-
pated in an oratorical contest in col
lege and being the first speaker of
the evening was under a double diff
ficulty.
The Lewis prize has been won by
many Colgate men who have since
conferred honor upon their Alma
Mater, among them Whitney Hart
Shepardson who has a number of
friends In Bennington and has visit
ed here. Last week Mr.. Shepardson,
who is Rhodes scholar at Oxford
University, England. was awarded
abe famous Gladstone historical
prize, it being the first time the
prize was ever won by an American.
Prof Ralph w. Thomas of the de-
partment of rhetoric a member of
New York senate, who is also we'll
known in Bennington failed to win
the Lewis prize in 1884, although the
eloquent mastery of his effort is still
a college tradition. Prof. Thomas
spoke in June, 1909, at the local
opera house at the high school grad
uation exercises, and will be remem-
bered as having made powerful
address. He at that time became ac-
quainted with Mr., Healy and by
procuring him a scholarship at Col
gate university made possible his
at that institution.
The Lewis prize is the only prize
conferred from the rostrum at the
Colgate commencement exercises in
June.

BEAT BURR AND BURTON
Bennington High School Won from
Manchester by II to Score

Bennington high school defeated
the Burr and Burton seminary team
of Manchester at Morgan park yester
day afternoon by the one-sided score
OF IL to z. The Manchester team this
season is composed of little fellows
and considering the difference In size
they made a good showing against
the heavier nine.
Bennington secured a big lead
during the first three innings through
infeld errors and poor handling OF
the ball by Tully, who was in the box
for the visiting players. Bennington
did not make many more hits than
Manchester, but the ball when hit
went further and the misplays OF the
seminary students helped to swell
the score Of the high school boys.
Leahy. who pitched for Bennington
held the seminary students to one hit
for three innings. In the third and
eight he was touched up rather free
ly, but he was never in trouble. rea-
liking that he had the game well In

patience" Presented by Adams Mus
ical Society Before Large Audience
"An excellent performance" was
the verdict rendered at the close of
the production of Patience" at the
opera house last evening. The opera
was given under the auspices of the
Y. Nj. c. A. by the Adams Musical
society of Adams. The company
made the trip from Adams to Dalton
and return by special trolley cars,
two cars being required to carry the
members and the properties. The
company arrived at o'clock and the
return trip was started at 11.45 o.
clock.
The music and singing by the COM
pany during the evening were of a
high order, the costumes and the
stage settings were very attractive
and the officers and members of the
company deserve much credit for the
excellency of the production. The
singers had the audience with them
from the start and each solo, duet
and chorus was greeted with ap-
plause that required at least one en-
core before the program could be re-
sumed. The rendering of the &C
compartment and the musical num-
bers by the orchestra also deserve
mention, the work of the players be-
ing highly complimented.
The officers in charge of the COM
pany are: President Theodore r.
Plunkett; vice president, Edward
Riley; corresponding secretary, Miss
Margaret Mcdonnell; recording Sec
rotary, Miss Rose McInerney; treas
urer, Rupert B. Daniels.

COLLINS TELLS OF
PART IN PLANT
OF DYNAMITE
duplicates Wood, Head OF the
Wooden Trust
BUT ONLY BY INFERENCE
Claims That He Did Not Know 1t
Was Dynamite That He Put
In Houses.

Boston. May 20.-An attempt to
prove that representatives OF capital
entered into a compact to discredit
organized labor was made in the SUI
perior court today at the trial OF
President William M. Wood of the
American Wooden company, Freder-
lex e. Atteaux and Dennis ]. Collins
charged with conspiracy to plant
dynamite at Lawrence during the
textile strike of 1912.
Collins testified as a witness for
the prosecution and confessed a part
in the alleged plot, though insisting
that he was unaware at the time that
he was handling dynamite He ad-
mitted that he did not expect to re
ceive a Jail sentence if he told the
truth on the stand.
The defense will contend that
neither Mr.. Wood nor Mr.. AtteauX
had any connection with the conspir-
acy.
Collins told of distributing dyna-
mite at different buildings occupied
by striking textile operatives. at Law
renee. but made only a casual refer
ence to Mr.. Wood and did not men
ton Mr.. Atteaux's name. He said
that at the request of John ]. Breen,
who was member of the Lawrence
school board at the time he carried
a package Of dynamite from Boston
to Lawrence and at Breens direction
distributed smaller packages OF the
explosive at various places where
the strikers congregated. Breen has
already been convicted and fined for
actually planting" the dynamite.
The reference to Mr.. Wood came
when the witness was telling OF a
conversation between Breen and him
self when the other announced that
he would be the next mayor OF Law
renee and that "a million was back"
of him. Collins said he asked
Breen what he meant and the under
taker replied with the query;
Don't you know President Wood
of the American Wooden company
Collins said he did not and Breen
told him, he said, that he would
know the joke later.
No other mention of Mr.. Woods
ndInt WAS ny DiNCh, oSNO'Nt'
to Collins, but under persistent ques-
tioning by the district attorney, the
witness admitted that he had told
the prosecutor last Friday that
Breen had said that "Mr Wood and
several other millionaries were back
of him and he would be the next
mayor of Lawrence" He explained
the discrepancy in his statemnets by
saying that he was nervous in the
district attorneys Office and declar-
ed that his testimony on the stand
was correct.
Henry F. Hurlburt OF counsel Tor
Mr.. Wood, declined to cross examine
Collins on the ground that his testi-
mony had not incriminated Mr..
Wood.
Inspector William ]. Rooney of
the Boston police department, and
Police Inspector Charles r. Vose OF
Lawrence, testified to the discovery
Of the dynamite to the location of
which they had been directed by
Breen. The trial will be continued
tomorrow.
