ZIMMERMAN
FROM WAITSFIELD
Tattoo Mark IN. l." on One
Arm and Another on
Mangled Arm

Still awaiting Identification at Vol
holm's undertaking rooms in Montpelier
lies the body of man who was killed by
a Central Vermont train between Mont
pelier and the Junction early Sunday
morning, and if the body is not claimed
within a few hours it will be buried by
the city of Montpelier. The latest theory
is that the man had been employed on
the big lumber job in Waitstield and
came to Montpelier for the week end
The man was struck by the passenger
train leaving Barre at midnight on sat
urday night, the train being in charge of
Michael Mcmahon as engineer and
Charles Simmons as conductor. Near the
Lombard farm the enginemen deserted
some object lying inside the rails, and an
effort was made to stop the train, but in
vain, the frosty rails failing to give
prompt grip for the brakes Not know
ing whether the object was human be-
ing or not, the trainmen went back and
found the mangled body of n man from
which came one gasp as they arrived at
the spot. Health Officer Lindsay of
Montpelier was notified and the body
was removed to the Folholm undertak-
ing esta tablishment, where many people
viewed it for purpose of Identification.
Among those who saw the remains was
a Montpelier fireman, who remembered
having seen the man late Saturday and
that the man appeared to have consid-
cradle money. Chief of Police Durkee
also recalled seeing the fellow at the
Central Vermont station with several
other men Saturday evening. Some of
these companions were taken to the un-
dertaking rooms but they could not help
in identifying the body. The top of the
head was somewhat crushed in, and both
feet were cut off
The body was neatly clothed in gar
nents that were comparatively new, the
apparel consisting of union suit, red
Jersey, red sweater, blue suit, high laced
shoes with rubber heels. On one arm
vas tattoo mark IN. l." and on the
,ther was another tattoo with .Sn dis
ernible but with the next letter obliter-
tied by the tearing of the flesh. The
nan was about 40 years old with black
lair and slightly bald; would weigh 1870
,ounds and was but slightly over five
eet tall. In his trousers pockets were
our cents.
When il appeared that the man had
cen shaved recently and also had had
is hair trimmed at probably the same
me. the Montpelier barber shops were
isited to-day. II was learned that the
ian visited the shop of c. W. Lewis and
as barbcred by Peter Jerd. The latter
'called attending 10 the man, who was
,companied to the shop by large man
no said he was on the way from Berlin,
. IL. TO a lumber job in Fayston or
'arren. Mr.. Jerd said the smaller man

STREET CAR co.
JUMPS FARE.
4e
Proposes to Charge Is Cents
for Through Trolley
Trips
FIVE CENTS FOR EACH
OF THREE TOWNS
Cut Rate to Be Allowed for
Short Trip Tick
cts

The Barre & Montpelier Traction &
Power Co. has filed with the Vermont
public service commission notice calling
for change in the existing schedule of
fares between Barre and Montpelier so
that the total charge from end to end of
the line would be Is cents instead of IL
cents, as recently charged, and 10 cents,
the charge until few months ago. The
new schedule would make the fare five
cents in each of the two cities and the
town OF Berlin, through which the line
passes.
The company announces that the
schedule provides interurban tickets,
good for a continuous ride between any
point in Montpelier and Intercity park,
or any point in Barre and Intercity park,
to be sold at the rate of four for 25
cents. 1t is stated that these tickets
viii be sold to the general public at the
offices or by the conductors
on the cars. The statement of the COM
pany is that these changes in fares axe
scheduled to go into effect Dec. 2S 1914.
Recently the Vermont supreme court
decided that the company may not COLI
ect more than five cents for ride in
side the limits OF either Barre or Mont
oelier, thus upholding the charters under
which the company operates, but the
conductors have continued to take up six
,ents at the first of the two collections
m the through ride unless the passenger
objected.

CANADIANS SEEK
HIDDEN ARMAMENT
They Think a German May Have Con-
cealed Large Quantity on Isle of
Orleans In st. Lawrence River
Just off Quebec.

Ottawa, Ont, Nov. 30.--A secret store
of arms and ammunition is now being
searched for on the isle of Orleans in the
st. Lawrence river just off Quebec. A
concrete base upon which siege gun
could be mounted already has been found
there.
A German, two years ago bought a
tract of land on the isle of Orleans and
established there plant for the manu-
facture of concrete blocks. 1t is upon
this property that the concrete founda-
tion has been found 1t commands the
defenses of Quebec and of the st. Law
renee channel. Last summer a moving
pictme company. the leading officials of
which were Germans, spent the summer
on the isle of Orleans, reproducing the
battle of the Plains of Abraham and
making films of it.
They employed several hundred young
men of the vicinity, uniformed and pro-
vidcd them with arms, which they bor
rowed from local military authorities.
They had both cannon and rifles and
fired large amount of blank ammuni
tion in thier operations The firearms
which were borrowed were returned to
the authorities, but it has been reported |
that they took advantage of the oppor
tunity to land guns and secrete them in /
pits, which were carefully covered
The Canadian military authorities
nave regarded information they have re-
,eiyed as serious enough TO warrant an
The concrete foundation
las been destroyed, and excavations
nave been made in search of buried guns.
So far none has been found and, as the
sland is 20 miles long and seven miles
vide, the search is likely to prove tedi-
,us. At its nearest point, the island is
our miles from Quebec. As far as the
'anadian military authorities have been
bile to learn, the films taken last sum
ner were never shown.

most ferocious, being carried on under
extraordinary difficulties which were in
creased by the severe cold and bitter
winds and occasional snow storms. Re-
ports received here say that in their
operations against the Austrians the
Russians have won important successes
during uninterrupted fighting for the
last two days.
Austrian officers who have been cap
tured say that they never considered the
possibility that the Carpathians would
be crossed at this time of the year with
such a degree of success as the Russians
are reported to have attained.
Russian officers assert that the Aus
trians are not in position to defend
Galica. The army which crossed the
they say, found distracted
population suffering from hunger and
privatons.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 30.-Abolition
of all but two Of the naval prisons in
continental United States-those at
Portsmouth, y. H., and Mare Island,

AIRY quarters aboard ship instead of

GERMAN ARMY TRIES
TO ESCAPE TRAP
Russian Army Is Striking a
Heavy Blow at Lodz, and
Some Time Will Be Re-
quired Before a Decisive
Result Is Reached-War
in West a Problem

The Russian forces, it Is unoficially re-
ported to-day, have at last reached era.
COW, the Austrian fortress in northwest
ern Galicia, near the boundaries of Rus
sia and Germany, and the city is now
under siege. The capture of this fortress
is one of the main objectives of the Rus
sian campaign against the Austrians on
the theory that its fall, together with
that of Przemysl, also under siege, would
mean Russian ascendancy in that part
of Austria lying to the north of the Car
pathian mountains. Other than this re-
port, there was little new information
concerning the situation in the East
The main question, in London opinion,
was whether the German army, which
struck at the Russian center, would be
able to extricate itself and fall back to
the border without disaster. The Rus
sian army operating from LODI is strik-
ing heavy blow at the main German
force but it is probable that some time
will elapse before this phase of the cam
paign in the East will be brought to a
close.
0pions differ sharply as to the inten-
tions of Germany concerning operations
in the West. II is reported that Ger
many is about to embark on a new Of
fensive movement, that the German line
has been weakened perceptibly and that
a new German army is being rushed into
Flanders In view of these conflicting
statements, it is impossible to discern |
the probabilities of the near future. |
Fighting at present is apparently con-
fined to operations in Argonne.
The Russian campaign against Tur-
key likewise has reached period of in
activity. The latest report from the
Russian army Of Caucasus is to the ef-
feet that no movements of importance
are under way.

PASSENGER RECEIPTS LESS
st. J. & L. C. Had Lean Year, 1t is
Reported.

Lyndonyille, Nov. 30.--The annual re-
port of the st. Johnsbury & Lake
Champlain railroad has just been sent
to the stockholders, exhibiting the re-
suit of the roads operations for the year
ending June 80, 1914. The road extends
from st. Johnsbury to Maquam bay, a
distance OF 96 miles, and is operated by
the Boston 4 Maine, who own ma
jority of the stock in this Vermont
corporation. The gross income was $4l2,-
5S3.Si, an increase of over 81 900 from
the previous year. The passenger rev.
enue fell of $1,000, but there was a gain
of $4,000 in the freight receipts. The
operating expenses were $320327 5S or
1892 per cent. of the receipts. Added
to this were other expenses, including
rental of 8,90l.S SO charged to the Bos-
ton g. Maine for rental of equipment,
and taxes amounting to $l6,s47.50 There
was a net income of $7,436.6l above all
expenses, but this is wiped out by an
interest account OF S95, ,S30.92, leaving
deficit for the year of $Ss,394.3l. To
this is annually added the sum OF $685..
300, representing accrued interest on
bonds owned jointly by the Boston &
Maine and Boston s. Lowell.
The report contains some interesting
statistics of the past two
Years. During the years 1s6,357 pas
engers were carried as against l9l ,756
he year previous. Exactly $4,000 tons
II freight were transported as against |
the year before. Each ton of |
reight carried averaged return of II
ents, which is one cent more than the |
oad received the year before. The gross
perating revenue per mile OF S3,945.92
vas only few dollars more than the
ears previous, but the operating ex
enses per mile were $3,362.54 as against
5, S,l06.S2 the year before. The cost of
he road is reckoned at 1902, ,l32.67 and
balance is struck on the general bal.
nee sheet by charging up to the profit
nd loss account as deficit the sum of
2, l20, ,56S.75.
