MANY BULLETS HIT
BOY PICKING FLOWERS
Fortunately, the Force Of the Charge
Was Nearly Spent, and Wendell
Morehouse, Aged Q, Will Suffer
No Lasting Harm.

While STOPPING over TO pick some
Mayflowers near his home on the East
Montpelier road yesterday Wendell
Morehouse, little son of George More
house, was struck in the face, hands and
breast by charge of bird shot, which
did some laeerations but which had trav-
eled so far they could not have deadly
effect. DR., V. c. Goodrich, who dug out
the few pellets which stuck in the boys
flesh and dressed the decorations, said
the youth would suffer no serious dam
age, although even the spent bullets
would have put out the boys eyes had
they happened to strike those more sus-
ceptible parts.
The shooting is aseribed to hunters
who 90 out Sundays and all days in
quest of small birds and who shoot with
out regard to direction of houses or pos
sibility of people being in line of their
bullets; and it is considered remarkable
that other people have not been wound
ed and perhaps killed. A large number
of people, with the opening of spring,
take advantage of the opportunity to
wander through the fields and woods,
making the use of firearms extremely
dangerous.
Wendell Morehouse, aged 0, with his
older brother, Carl, was not more than
100 rods from their home and in an open
field gathering flowers when the former
was struck. When about to grasp some
flowers, Wendell felt a sharp sting on
his face and also felt the missiles strike
his clothing. Then. the blood began to
start, and he and his brother rushed
home, not knowing what the matter was
at first, as neither had heard the report
of gun. The doctor was called in
short time and after extracting all the
lead he dressed the wounds and made
the boy comfortable. The shooting oc-

CARRANZA DECLINES
TO CEASE FIGHTING
Will Continue to Wage War on Huerta
in Spite of the Negotiations for
Peace Going on at
Washington.

FL Paso, Texas, May 4.-General Car
rama has formally declined the sugges-
tion of the mediators that he cease hos
tilities against Huerta pending the out
come of the plan of mediation. His
note, sent to Washington Saturday, was
made public here yesterday.
No Importance is attached here to the
report that the rebels and federals at
Tampico. are arranging truce. 1t is
assumed that if true, the cessation Of
hostilities is for the purpose of burying
the dead or removing the wounded.
The text of General Carranza's tele-
gram declining the armistice follows;
j again direct myself to you, for the
purpose OF answering your respectful
message relative to the armstiee, call
ing your attention to the fact that the
international conflict with the United
States .was internationally y~provoked by
Huerta, and fer the solution of this

good offices OF Brazil, Argentina and
Chile, and which act is independent of
our international strife for liberty and
law, and / consider it inconvenient for
the rebel cause that | represent, to sus-
pend hostilities and military movements,
because said suspension would only ac-
crue to the benefit of Huerta in the civil
war now going on in Mexico between
the usurper Huerta and the constitution
al army under my command The SOW
ereignty citizenship is in arms with all
activity to re-establish order, which will
produce peace.
BY virtue of the above | state to you

you propose.

VERMONT'S DETECTIVE
SERVICE is COSTLY
Some Interesting Sidelights on Increased
Cost Of Administration in Vermont
Furnished by Auditor Gra-
hams Report.

One OF the chief features in the in
creased cost of administration of the
state government in Vermont is revealed
in a statement which has been prepared
by State Auditor II. II. Graham. 1t il
in the states detective service.
In 1901 before the office of attorney
general was created the state paid for
detective service $65l.75, Following the
appointment Of attorney general 1t cost
under G. G. Fits in 1907, the sum OF
81. .045,36,
Under Attorney General J. G. Sargent
the detective service cost the state In
I0Il Sl0,5e522.
Under Attorney General r.. E. Brown
the detective service has jumped so that
in 1918 the total sum paid for detective
service alone reached the alarming fig
ure of S34,7O6Io.
This development led to scanning OF
accounts and the still more astounding
discovery was made that from July i,
1918, to April 20, 1914, Attorney Gem
eral Brown had approved detective ac-
counts aggregating no less than s34,-
930.9l, at which rate the total for the
fiscal year would reach the aggregate
Of S46,574.56.
also develops that of this total of
S34.9309l spent for detective service
during the past nine months no less
than $24 ,45l.7l was paid to a single
concern, the Wood Morgan detective
agency.
One important item was Sl,0l0.s3 for
Sheriff Tracy's trip to Europe to get
track Of an important witness in a Wash
ington county murder case, and nearly
half as much to the detective agency
above named.

Mrs. Harriet B. Dodge Said to Be Only
Real Daughter of Revolution.

Mrs. Harriet b. Dodge, said to be the
only real daughter of the Revolution in
this state, died yesterday morning at
the age of % years at the home of her
granddaughter, Mrs. Harry Vincent, in
East Montpelier.
Mrs. Dodge has been in failing health
for some time, and the end was not
unexpected. Until two years ago she
had made her home in Montpelier city,
not consenting until then to leave the
house where she had spent so many
years and spend the remainder of her
life with her granddaughter.
Mrs. Dodge was born in Fairlee. the
daughter of Samuel Woods, a minute
man in the Revolutionary war, who
came with his wife to Fairlee in 1922.
When the daughter became of age, she
married Mr.. Dodge, a shoemaker, and
after living for a time in her native
town they moved to Berlin and soon
after to Montpelier, where he continued
his business of shoe-making. He died
many years ago,

MANGLED BY TRAIN
WHEN HE FELL OFF
John r. Carroll Of Rutland Was Killed
on Rutland Railroad, His Severed
Body Being Found Sunday
Morning.

Vergennes. May f-John Richard Car
roll OF Rutland, 70 years old, was found
dead Sunday morning, his body, the
trunk severed crosswise, being picked
up. one mile north of this city, on the
track of the Rutland railroad. The only
supposition is that the young man, a
brakeman on freight number 81, a
through train northbound Saturday
night, fell from the roof OF car as the
train was moving and he was walking
the chain of about 60 cars. He evidently
fell forward in front of some Of the cars
1t is also practically certain that ex-
press train number 81 also passed over
the body on its way south from Burling-
ton, before the fatality was discovered.
No member of the freight's crew saw
the young brakeman fall, and the train
had reached Charlotte before his absence
was noted.
Carroll, who had been employed by
the Rutland railroad for three years, was
one Of crew which included R. J. Row
land, engineer, and X. W. Adams, con
ductor When the train left Vergennes
Carroll was on the roof Of a rear car,
and signalled the engineer to 90 ahead,
after the switch was thrown. No one
happened to be near him and his lantern
signal was his last living action of
which his mates knew. At Charlotte the
freight was run into siding to let train
number 50 pass by. Carroll was not on
hand to throw the switch, and the fire.

the missing man. Blood on the wheels
