UNKNOWN MAN KILLED.
Probably Run Over by Freight Train
from Which He Fell.

NIiddlebury, April s.-An unknown
man, supposed to be a tramp. was picked
up by the northbound flyer near Leicester
Junction yesterday afternoon. with botl
legs cut off near the body. He died on
the train, and the body, which was
badly mangled. was left at the station
here. Drs. White and Eddy were noti.
fed. and the body. after being viewed
by Selectman Harry c. Hunt, was re-
moved TO the undertaking rooms of A. J.
Blackmer.
1t is supposed that the man was rid
ing on a southbound freight train, which
passed just before the flyer, and fell un-
der the wheels. There was nothing to
give any clue as to his identity or ad-
dress. He was evidently about 45 wears
of age, about five feet six inches in
height and had a short reddish beard.
He was poorly dressed and wore over
alls. One shoe and rubber were found.

AND THAT REVISION BE
SQUARE WITH FACTS
Referred to Need for Bank
ing and Currency Reform
But Said Those Things
Could Wait Till the Tariff
Matter Was Out of the
Way

Washington, d. c., April s.-President
century old, reviving the precedent by
which Congress heard from the lips OF
the chief executive OF the country ms
message to the national legislature. I've
motives influenced President Wilson to
decide to read in person his first com
muncation to Congress: The perfume
tory way the presidential message usual
ly is received, accompanied by the drone
of the clerks voice and empty seats and
secondly, the presidents desire that every
member hear his appeal for thorough
revision of the tariff. the sole purpose
for which Congress was called in extra
ordinary session.
Senator's and representatives acknowl-
edged the constitutional right of the
president to read his own message and
by concurrent resolution arranged to
gather in the House chamber at o'clock
for the purpose.
1t was an unusually brief document,
dealing exclusively with the need for
thorough, moderate and well-consid-
cred revision of the tariff. The presi-
dent drew attention to the necessity for
an early reform in the banking and cur
rency laws but refrained, he said, from
urging, for the present, any other leg
islation that might divert the energ es
of Congress from its clearly defined
duty" toward the tariff question.
The message referred to no particular
schedule, mentioned no rates, and in
cluded no statistics. II was an enuncia-
tion OF the presidents principles on tar
iff revision.
The presidents decision to put the
weight of the administration influence
behind the bill with it's various sched
,les as drawn by the House ways and
means committee caused him to omit
specific reference TO tariff rates until the
measure was finally agreed upon in fhe
opening days of the present session.
The message urged that special priv
ilege and exemptions from competition
be cut out of the nations tariff system
and that the revision be made ''to square
with the facts as they are At the
outset, the president called attention
to the party's pledge for tariff reduc-
ton.

OF WEST BERLIN MAN
Jury Returned Verdict of Guilty of Two
0ffenses Against c. Gomez in
County Court.

4 The case of State VS.. c. Gomez OF
/ West Berlin, charged with selling liquor

! ington county court last night, when
! the jury returned verdict of guilty OF
! two offenses after being out less than
| an hour. This case was started last
Saturday and was resumed when court
reopened yesterday afternoon.
/ The respondent claimed he did not
( know OF any such transactions alleged
1 by the prosecution; that the states wit
nesses had mistaken his wife and his
home for someone elses; that he did
not move to West Berlin until after
Christmas, whereas the witnesses had
testified to buying liquor at his house
during the fall season.
In charging the jury, Judge Fish ex-
planned the law in regard to the respon-
sibility of the husband for the acts of
the wife and that the jury must decide
whether the placing of money on table
in front Of the wife in the manner de-
scribed by the witnesses was sale
within the meaning of the law.
This morning another West Berlin
man and also bearing the name of Co
mez. but with G. as his first initial,
pleaded guilty TO one offense of selling
and win be sentenced later. Leander
Kirby Of Waterbury also pleaded guilty
TO one otTense of selling and will be
sentenced later. 1t was expected that
Kirby would plead not guilty and stand
trial; so half dozen witnesses, IN
eluding some minors. We're brought up
from Waterbury. Kirby changed his
plans.
Joseph John pleaded guilty to as
sault and was fined so. with costs. An
