CONDENSED DISPATCHES.

The body of Thomas O'Lalor, plumb

attic of the Somervile High school at
Somerville, Mass. He had been missing
since Saturday, when he was sent to the
school to make repairs. Three of his
seven children We're pupils in the school.
In order to avoid what appeared certain
sacrifice of two lives, Lincoln Beachey
deliberately wrecked his biplane late Sat
urday at Oakland, Cal, and fell 25 feet,
sustaining slight injuries Beachey was
descending after an exhibition flight. Di-
rectly below him was an automobile driv-
en- by Barney Oldfeld and carrying a
newspaper photographer as a passenger.
The aviator swerved his machine, which
collapsed and turned almost completely
over burying Beachey beneath it. His
only injuries are bruises.

results of the use of the secret de-

A blizzard swept in from Lake Su-

meetings of the various locals were
held and a number of Italians gathered
in a hall in Laurim to resent attack
on women of their nationality whicA.

The Italian meeting broke up in a
row when a union member obtained
permission to speak. Some of his
statements aroused the ire of nom
union men, and the latter dragged the
speaker from the platform and elected
him from the hall.

Personnel of the Federal Reserve
Board Matter OF Much Conjecture.

Aside from the question of the con-
trollership. members of Congress are
waiting eagerly to learn if the Presi-
dert has decided upon the five other
men whom he is to appoint to the Fed
eral Reserve Board. II Is generally
thought that this board is as import
ant az the supreme court itself.
The organization committee will not
begin it's public hearings here until
Wednesday, but will endeavor to di-
gest. in the meantime some of the in
formation it obtained on, its recent
visits to New York and Boston. AL
though announcement is not expected
at present, it is thought here that the
committee intends to place reserve
banks in New York and Boston. The
determination of the geographical linn
its OF the districts of which these cities
shall be the financial center may de-
pend to some extent upon the result
of hearings to be held here the latter
part of this week.

Washington, Jan. 11-With the re-
turn to Washington of the reserve
bank organization committee interest
in the new federal finance system CEN
tured today on the question of who is
tc be made comptroller of the curren-
cy. Under the new law, the comptroller
is ex-officio a member of the Federal
Reserve Board, which is to be the
brains and motive power in the sys-
tom.
Persons on close terms with Secre-
tary McAdoo are convinced that he in
tends to make a vigorous effort to have
Mt Wilson nominate j. S. Williams.

treasury in charge of finance. Moreover,
the friendship between the President
and Mrs McAdoo inclines political OBJ
servers to the belief that the name of
williams will be sent to the Senate
shortly after the return of the Presi-
dent TO Washington on Tuesday.

The standard Oil Cos. steamer Comet,
which was partly disabled off Nan

for New York unassisted, after she
was towed in here today by the reve-
nue. cutter Acushnet. Owing to a
leak in her fuel tanks, the Comet is
making only half speed and will un-
dergo repairs at New York before pro-

The Weeks Forecast.

Washington. Jan. 11.-Freezing
weather extending to southern Florida
was predicted today by the weather
bureau experts for the first few days
of the coming week.
"1he week will open" said the bull
letin, with cold weather in the
Northwest that will extend through
the upper Lake region during Monday,
and by Tuesday night or Wednesday
morning will reach the North Atlantic
states, but will probably not extend
very far south of the Lake region,
owing to the prevailing high pressure
over the Ohio valley and the Gulf
states. There will also be heavy frosts
and freezing temperatures Monday
and Tuesday over the South Atlantic
and Gulf states, and by Tuesday
morning the frosts will probably ex-
tend over the interior of southern
Florida.

Department Of Justice Wins
AI|Reorganization Issues.
Road to Dispose Of Holding in
The Boston & Maine.
Will Cancel B. & A. Agreement and
Give Up Trolley and S. S. Lines.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE New
York, New Haven & Hartford Rail-
road and the department of justice
Saturday announced preliminary
agreement designed to effect re-
organization of the New Haven and
to prevent a suit for its dissolution
under the Sherman law.
In compliance with department de-
mands, the New Haven will dispose
of it's holdings in the Boston & Maine
Railroad, cancel it's joint agreement
controlling the Boston & Albany and
give up it's trolley lines and several
Of it's steamship lines. The question
of it's retention of the so-ealled sound
lines of steamships will be left for
the present at least to the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Under the Panama canal act, the
road is required to give up all steam
ship holdings by July l, unless the
commission finds that their continued
operation by the railroad is to the
commercial advantage of the people
and not in restraint of competition.
1t was conceded tonight that the
department of justice gained prac-
tically every point it demanded. An
nouncement of the agreement was
made in the following statement from
Chairman Howard Elliott:
