Found About Mile from the Cen
ter of the City Last Night.

Rutland, Jan. 1.-THE finding of Will
| liam Hubbard, 80 years old, dead in the
center of the highway on Woodstock
avenue at point about mile from the
business section of the city shortly after
10 o'clock last night, with his scalp badly
torn and his face disigured points to the
possibility of foul play.
States Attorney b. L. Stafford, who
was notified of the finding of the body
about ii o'clock last evening, immediate
ly started an investigation, but has been
unable to obtain clue as to the mans
wherea bouts yesterday except that he
came into the city in the morning ex-
pecting to return to the home of his
sister, Mrs. w. A. Sparks, who lives
about half mile beyond the city poor
farm.
About 10 o'clock last evening Police
man Timothy Dwyer answered tele-
phone call at the police station and was
informed that man was lying in the
middle of the street on Woodstock ave-
nue., between Youngs and Peryea's. The
call came from Ray Demick, who was
driving from Mendon to this city.
Officer Dwyer secured hack, driven
by Harold L. Foye of the G., d. Morse
livery stable, and went Immediately to
the scene. Hubbard was found lying in
the road with his head near the center
OF the travelled path and with his feet
toward the north.
The man was placed in the hack and
brought to the police station, where it
was discovered that he was dead. Word
was sent to States Attorney Stafford
and Health Officer +. H. Gebhardt. They
went to the police station, where the
body was viewed before being removed
to the Stearns undertaking rooms.
The states attorney and Health Officer
Gebhardt started for Mendon to learn
what they could concerning the identity
of the man. They found that Hubbard
was employed as molder by the Howe
Scale company and that he had not been
at work for two days. 1t was learned
that he lived with his sister, Mrs. Sparks,
and that he came to the city in the
morning with the understanding that he
would return home last evening with the
Sparks family.
When the Sparks family went to Der
wins stable last evening, where Mrs.
Sparks was to meet her brother, Hub
bard did not put in an appearance and
the family returned without him.
They had no intimation OF anything
wrong until interrogated by the states
attorney.

Hubbard was found shows number Of
tracks indicating that possibly there
had been scuiiie. About six feet from
the spot where the body was found is

made by the body of a man.

Attorney Stafford, Health Officer Geb-
hardt, Chief Of Police Jesse Young and a

FAVORS FEDERAL
RATE MAKING
Interstate Commerce Com,
mission Made Address
in Chicago

Chicago, H., Jan. Transportation
charges by the railroads throughout the
United States are so low that they are
not factor in the high cost of living,
according to c. A. Prouty, member of
the interstate commerce commission, who
spoke yesterday before the Traffic club
of Chicago. The general level of railway
rates in nearly all parts of the country
has been lowered to point where they
cannot be further reduced, the speaker
said. Stability is of more Importance
nowadays in the determination of a rail
roads rates than elasticity.
The interstate commerce commission
will never be efficient until it has power
to regulate freight, passenger and ex-
press rates. If the rates were made by
the federal government, the process
would be simplfied

a three-st structure and when it was
discovered by neighbors, the exit by the

tanned their hurts by jumping from the
upper windows.
The bodies OF the dead were found in
their beds, they having been suffocated.
W. A. Rano, who lived on the upper
floor of the building with his wife and
three small children, tossed two of the
older children into life net, while his
wife climbed down a fire escape ladder
to the second floor, from which she tossed
her baby into the arms of some men be-
low. Then Mrs. Rano dropped safely
into a net. Having seen his family all
safe, Rano jumped to a life net, but his
weight was too much for the tiremen
and he struck the ground heavily, receiv
ing serious internal injuries. William
Boney also was seriously injured by
jumping and he was taken to the hos
pital along with Rano.
The interior of the building was badly
damaged by the flames before the fire.
men could get control. The cause of the
fire is not known.
A tax bill found in the pocket of one
of the persons killed in the building re-
vealed that ii was the body of James
Stapleton, who had lodged with Rano
but two days. Stapleton was resi-
dent of this city.
The property loss was only $4,000.
