BURIED ALIVE AS HE
BEGGED FOR MERCY
Batavia Italians Body Dug Up
by Confessed Slayer.

Batavia, y. Y, Nov. 22-Luigi Ma
troni was buried alive in the cellar
Of his home near Corfu, in May, 1914,
his body being trampled into newly
made grave while he begged for mercy,
according to story told by his widow
to District Attorney Coon here to-day.
Antonio BOLIVIA. the alleged murderer,
pointed out this afternoon the spot
where the crime occurred, and body
was found which Mrs. Matroni identi-
fed as that of her husband. BOLIVIA
has confessed, the District Attorney
says.
BOLIVIA. who is Mrs. Matroni's som
in-law. was serving a six months term
in the Monroe County penitentiary for
a stabbing affray. Mrs. Matroni came
here from Syracuse TO tell the story
OF the murder, which she declared had
been witnessed by her and her young
son, Charles. Her long. silence, she
said, was due TO fear of BOLIVIA. who
had threatened similar fate for her
and her son.
Mrs. Matroni said that her husband
was felled BY n pickaxe handle welded
by BOLIVIA. He was knocked uncon-
scious. but revived before the grave
had been dug in the cellar. He plead
ed with BOLIVIA for mercy just before
he was thrown into the pit and tram
pied under the ground the woman de-
clsred
BOLIVIA killed Matroni, he told the
District Attorney, because after his
marriage to Matron's stepdaughter,
she told him that Matroni had assault
ed her.

MEDICAL SOCIETY
IN EXCITING VOTE
More Than 700 Ballots Cast at
Election Which COnServa-
tiveS Hail as Victory.

The Conservatives triumphed over
the Economists at the most exciting
annual election ever held by the Medi-
cal Society of the County of New York
at the New York Academy Of Medicine,
II West Forty-third Street, last night.
Between and IL o'clock 706 ballots
were cast, a record breaking vote. AL
though the count will not be completed
until a. m. to-day, it was freely pre-
dicted at the meeting that the Con-
servstives-the group that has held the
Offices for several years-hsd won an
other victory.
DR.. William S. Gcttheil, editor Of
"The Medical Economist" a candidate
for first vice president, and ten candi-
dates for delegates - the state con-
vention were on the ate OF the Econo-
mists. Physician al this faction are
members Of the Federation of Medical
Economic Leagues, an organization
which has been attacked recently on
its alleged purpose of commercializing
the profession Of medicine. The Econo-
mists advocate the application of busi-
ness principles to the practice Of medi-
cine.
Dr. Frederick f. Sondern, candidate
for president, was assured of reelec-
tion because the only opposing candi-
date, DR.. Howard Lilienthal, refused to
run. Dr. Bentley Squier, Conservative
candidate for first vice-president, Is ex-
pected to defeat DR.. Gottheil. There
was no contest for the other Offices.
A communication from DR.. Gottheil
was read. in which he said that the
statement in newspapers recently that
the Economists condoned the practice
of splitting fees was false. He said
that the ten candidates for delegates to
the state convention and himself were
not opposed in any way to regular pro-
fessional ethics. On his motion this
communication was spread upon the
minutes.
A suggestion by DR.. Henry s. Stark
that the County Medical Society be or
ganized along scientific lines, with di-
visions devoted to the study Of different
phases of anatomy, was defeated.

MRS. FORD GIVES
$4,000 FOR PEACE
Girl Brings Inventors Wife's
First Gift to Public Activity
from Detroit.

A mere slip Of girl bore a big bur
den into New York yesterday from De-
troit. Her name Is Rebecca Shelley;
her burden the Arst gift Mrs. Henry
Ford ever gave to a public activity. a
check for $4,000, the rest of $4,000
gift to the Women's Peace Party. Mrs.
Ford's interest in world peace is the
result OF visit 10 Detroit made last
week BY Madame Rosika Schwimmer
the Hungarian pacifist, and OF Miss
Shelley's own efforts.
Miss Shelley's hair is brown, her ap-
pearance youthful. Yet she was grad
uated with honors and Phi Beta
Kappa key at the University Of Michl-
gan in 1910. She has taught high
school at Freeport, ILL.,. and she wen'
to The Hague Peace Conference last
summer. Unknown and unheralded,
she went to Detroit and by street
speeches created substantial interest in
the Women's Peace Party movement
She appeared before the Michigan
Equal Suffrage League and with elo-
ouence worthy of Billy Sunday per-
suaded this hitherto lukewarm body to
come out unqualifiedly for peace.
Appeal by telegram will be made be-
fore Thanksgiving to every woman's
organization to join in sending tele-
grams to President Wilson, urging him
to confer with other neutral nations
for a just settlement of the present
war Miss Jane Addams, of Hull
House, met delegates Of the party at
its headquarters. 553 Fifth Avenue
Yesterday afternoon to announce the
gift of Mrs. Ford.

ROOSEVELT'S NEBRASKA
CANDIDACY STANDS
Colonel Himself Must Act TO
Withdraw Petition.
lBy Telertaph 10 d. TrIbane.

Omaha, Nov. 22-Colonel Roosevelt
is still a candidate for President in
this state, and unless he takes some
steps to withdraw from the Presiden-
tial filings his name will go before the
Nebraska voters at the primary.
State Secretary Pool announced to-
day his decision on the petition of
signers for Roosevelt 70 withdraw the
ColonePs name from nomination. The
Secretary held that only Roosevelt
himself could withdraw his name.
Roosevelt's name was filed three
years ago. Recently the signers of his
petition asked that it be withdrawn, on
the ground that Roosevelt's position on
the war question was such that the
petitioners were no longer favorable TO
him.
John McGrath, Theodore Roosevelt's
secretary, said last night at Oyster Bay
that the Colonel could say nothing
about the Nebraska Secretary OF States
action in refusing TO take his name
from the Presidential ballot.
This is the first time | have heard
that the Coloners name was on" Nc
Grath declared, "and | am sure he has
not heard Of it yet. Therefore he could
