SPAULDING'S 1914
HONORS AWARDED
George Cove Takes First, Frank Gredle1
Second and Miss Ruth Robinson
Third, 1t Was Announced
To-day.

Announcement of the scholarship hon
ors of the class OF 1914, Spaulding high
school, was made to the seniors of the
institution by Principal G. H. White
to-day. George Cove won the first hon
or, having had a percentage OF 1892
for his course. Frank Gredler was sec
ond with percentage of 92.64. Miss
Ruth Robinson was a close third with Il
percentage of 92.33. As a result OF at
tanning these ranks, the three will have
parts at the graduation exercises, and,
in addition, Cove will have the distinc-
tion of giving the valedictory. The 9TH
or honors of the class win be announced
later.
The class of 1914 contains no CONNER
cial graduates for the reason that the
lengthening OF the commercial course
eliminated one class and the elimination
fell to the year 1914. The number to be
graduated will, therefore, be somewhat
smaller than year ago, although the
number-33-is about the same as hst
year in all departments excepting the
commercial course. The succeeding
classes are all large and each will grad
uate fully as many as last year, when
the total was SO, while the next enter
ing class promises to be record break
err. The class of 1914 has II boys and
% girls.

MEDICAL COLLEGE DEFENDED
Dean H. c. Tinkham Also Points Out
Needs OF Institution.

Burlington, March 27. Dean H. G,
Tinkham OF the college OF medicine of
the University OF Vermont gave a force
ful address last evening in favor Of the
continuation of the medical college in
this state in class A. An appreciative
audience, members OF the Burlington and
Chittenden co. medical society, listened
TO DIR. Tinkham's arguments at the col
lege- building The two deficiencies, as
brought out by the speaker, which must
be remedied before next February are
annual state appropriations large enough
TO run the medical college and allow
general development, and the provision
of proper number of beds for clinical
facilities.
Since the survey made by the Carnegie
Foundation in 1909, which stated that
two medical schools were enough for
New England. the schools have been
cut, working to that end. Now if as
the survey stated, the United States
should have total OF 90 medical
schools, New Englaad's share would be
four. DIR. Tinkham thought by the un-
fair criticisms of DR.. Pritchet regard
ing the Vermont college Of medicine
course that he must be preiudiced in
his opinion. and the dean OF the college
took occasion to state that he was in
favor of the continuation of the Yer
mont college in class A, and that il
he was not he would not occupy his
present seat,

Benjamin F. Keith Died
Suddenly at Palm
Beach, Fla.
HAD TALKED WITH SON
FEW MINUTES BEFORE
Keith Was Known Through
out the World as
Theatre Man

Boston. March pa native of Hills
boro, n. H., Benjamin +. Keith, the
vaudeville msgnate who died at Palm
Beach, Florida, last night, had lived IN
New England all his life. For many
years he made his home in Brookline
anil he had summer residence at Mar
blehead. He was the originator of the
continuous performance idea in vaude-
vile back in 1885, two years after he
had begun his career as proprietor OF a
small museum here.
NH Keith's death was sudden, lie
had been engaged in conversation with
his son few minutes before and appar-
entity he was in good health. The lat
ter left the room and on returning short
ly- he found his father dead. The body
will be brought to Boston.
Benjamin Franklin Keith was born in
Hillsboro Bridge, n. H., and received his
education in Che district schools OF his
native state. In 1885 he became pro-
prietor of the circus and he soon became
part owner of the Gaiety theatre in this
city. About that time he instituted the
continuous performance idea In 1905
he went into partnership with +. i.
Proctor and they formed the Keith g.
Proctor Amusement Co., which came to
control many vaudeville theatres
throughout the United States. Mr..
Keith was president of the United Book
ing Office of America.

"FRAN.cIs FELL INTO BROOK"
Was Child's Explanation of His Play
mates Absence.

Derry, n. H., March 27.--Another
young life was sacrificed yesterday aft
ernoon in the icy waters Of Beaver
brook, when little two-year-old Francis
Come fell from the bank and was car
ried to his death in the swift current.
The scene of the drowning was below
the lumber mill of Arthur Greenough &
Co. on the west side of the Boston g.
Maine railroad tracks. Little is aetu-
ally known of the tragedy, so far as can
be learned, as only the victim and an
other child were near the brook.
1t is, however, learned that the Come
child, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Come
of Florence street, and a playmate
were near the banks of the brook about
2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and
in some manner the Come boy fell into
the water.
The finding of his cap in the water
about quarter of mile downstream
was the first intimation of the dreadful
affair, and this led to the questioning
of the other little boy.
The latter was about the same age as
the victim and could talk but very little.
All that could be CLEANED from him was
that "Francis fell into the brook"

Rushlow and Dennis Plead
ed Guilty to Murder in
Second Degree
COURT ACCEPTS PLEA
AS DID THE STATE
St. Adams Youths Killed
Chin Kim, st. Adams
Storekeeper

ST. Adams, March 27.-Elmer Rushlow
and William Dennis, the youthful re-
spondents who were charged with the
murder of Chin Kim, changed their plea
in Franklin county court this morning
from not guilty to guilty OF murder in
the second degree. They will be SEN
fenced Monday afternoon.
The court did not come in until nearly
10 O'Clock this morning, an hour later
than usual, and it soon became noised
about that the boys were going to
change their pleas. When court came
in, w. B. McFeeters of Enosburg Falls,
one of the counsel for the respondents,
announced that they would like to
change their pleas and enter one OF
murder in the second degree. Atty. Gen.
r. T. Brown addressed the court, say
ing that the evidence had established
in his opinion that the crime was muir
der in the first degree but in view of the
circumstances, among which was the
mental calibre of the respondents, the
state felt willing to accept plea of
guilty in the second degree.
When the court returned after a few
minutes consideration, the boys were
summoned TO the bar, where the grand
jury indictment was read by County
Clerk G. G. Stevens. The boys smiled
as they took their places.
Dennis was asked if he wished to
change his plea and appeared not to un-
derstand. The question again was asked
and he replied: "Yes, sir, guilty of muir
der in the second degree" Rushlow was
asked the same question and after be-
ing coached by Dennis he pleaded guilty.
Then the boys returned to their seats
near their lawyers and seemed happy.
They laughed and soon began to roll
some cigarettes.
Judge i. L. Waterman announced that
the jury in the case was discharged and
after Atty. Gen. Brown had moved for
sentence the court ordered Judgment en-
tered against the respondents. Mr..
Brown and States Atty. G. +. Ladd
S. S. Cushing Of this city
was associated with Mr.. McFeeters for
the defense.

WOMEN CAUGHT BY FIRE.
One tainted and Others Were Carried
Down Ladders.

Boston, March 27.-0ne girl tainted
and was carried to safety, three young
women were taken down ladders to ths
street, and more than fifty female en-
ploves of the wood and paper box fac.
tory of Littlefield g. Moultop at 10 Box
street, Lynn, fled down tie fire escape
and the wooden stairway yesterday aft
ernoon, when the three-story building
burst into flames.
More than 100 men employed on the
lower floors hurried out when a blaze in
the waste room, that rapidly spread to
the various departments, was discovered
by Superintendent James E. Sutcliffe.
The structure was badly damaged, at a
loss estimated at $4,000.
Miss Kittie L. Poor, forewoman on
the third floor, where a majority of the
girls were employed, was the heroine.
With smoke and flames pouring into the
room, she went from bench to bench,
directing the employees as to the best
means of getting out, and refused to
leave the building until every girl under
her was out safely.
Possible loss of life and panic was
averted also by Mr.. Sutcliffe, who
helped the girls down the stairs as long
as they were passable and then, with
everyone safe, leaped from the third
floor to the roof of an adjoining build
ing and reached the street.
Though the fire was chiefly on the top
floor, the occupants of the second floor
were menaced with smoke. Despite
their danger, Mrs. Emma Wiggin, head
bookkeeper in the office on the second
floor, Miss Alice Rolph and Mrs. William
Cam, the telephone operator, insisted
on staying until they had locked the
books in the safe.
In doing this they found themselves
shut off from using the stairway and
sought the windows for relief from the
smoke. They were hanging out of the
openings, shouting for assistance, when
the fremen arrived. They were carried
to the street on ladders by Lieut. Wal
ter Martin and Hosemen Frank Rooney
and Walter Nichols.
Miss Alice Mayhan, on the third floor,
tainted during the rush for the stairs
and fire escape and was carried out.
She did not recover until her rescuer
had left her to go back to the fire.
As soon as the fire was under control,
State Detective William F. Murray be-
gan an investigation. Incendisrism is
suspected. The fire is the second in that
factory within three weeks, and the
fourth in box factories in the same dis
trict within three months

WILD RIoTING WITH WOMEN.
Who Invaded Borough Council Meeting
in London.

London. March 27.-An extraordinary
suffragette disturbance occurred yester-
day at a meeting of the popular bor-
ough council, which had voted adversely
to letting out council halls for suffra-
gette meetings.
With shouts of "cowards" and other
women invaded that section of the hall
reserved for the councillors. Bombs
containing evil smelling chemicals were
exploded by the scores; bags of flour
and stones were uung at the members.
The councillors were soon struggling
with the infuriated women, many of
whom were armed with bludgeons and
bottles.
The police were sent for, but for some
reason refrained from interference.
The mayor retained the chair in a
vain endeavor to resume the council pro-
ceedings, but finally the council beat a
retreat, having the women in possession
of the hall, with few socialist members
of the council, who remained to hear
speeches delivered by Miss Zelie Emerson
of Jackson, Mich. and Others.
While Miss Emerson was speaking,
the council ventured to return to the
chamber and carried a resolution ex-
cluding the public from the chamber for
three months.
George Lanesbury, a member of the
council and strong supporter of the
militant movement, fiercely protested
against the proceeding as irregular, AMI
threw the town clock, books and papers
on the floor, amid cheers from the suf-
fragettes. The council meeting then
adjourned.

TRIES TO FREE THAW
ON TECHNICALLY
Final Brief Declares That Statute I'M
der Which He Was Originally Com
mitted Was Invalid.

Concord, n. H., March 27.-The fina
brief in connection with Harry X. Thaw':
petitions for writ of habeas corpus
and for his release on bail, was filed
by his counsel to-day. The brief lays
particular stress on the claim that the
statute under which Thaw was original.
ly committed was unconstitutional and
hence it was not crime to escape, and
that he is not a fugitive from justice
within the meaning of the federal con.
stitution.
Regarding bail, the brief maintains
that bail in misdemeanor case is a
matter of right Conclusion. 1t says the
purpose of the state of New York being
the return of Thaw to Matteawan, it is
making a misuse of the extradition laws
to accomplish its end.
