The remains of the late William
Fassmore. who dropped dead in Cen
terburg Tuesday afternoon of heart
trouble, arrived in this city Wednes-
day morning and were taken to the
home Of the parents of the deceased,
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Passmore, PA
East Pleasant street.
The funeral occurs Friday after.
noon at 2:30 o'clock at the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Passmore, Rev.
William r. Hull Of St. Paul's Episco-
pal church officiating The services
at the grave will be conducted by
Senior Warden Hubert w. Updike Of
Bloomfield lodge No. 422, F. C A. NJ,
and the members of the lodge. Mr..
Passmore leaves his parents, wife.
daughter and sister, Mrs. William
Hookway.
The death occurred at O'Clock
Tuesday afternoon. Mr.. Passmore
who was working in his racket store,
heard the cry on the streets that
fire was in progress at the Clayton H.
Bishop home and started to run to
the property. He was unaccompanied.
Reaching the residence of Ray
Queen, one-half block from the fire.
Mr.. Passmore gasped sharply and,
olenching his left side, tottered to
tree for support. Before anybody
could come to his assistance, he had
wilted into crumpled heap and fell
to the sidewalk. 1t was evident that
efforts to restore life would be futile.
The news of Mr.. Passmore's sudden
death came as shock to residents of
both Centerburg and Mt. Vernon
Cordial, genial and affable, he won
friendship at first acquaintance. Of
an energetic nature, he had built up
6 business in Centerburg and was
ranked as one of the most Industrious
citizens Of the village.
Mr.. Passmore was born in Mt. Vere
non 20 years ago. He attended the
schools in this city and for number
of years was valued employe of the
Parr shoe store. Eight years ago. he
was united in marriage to Miss Kath.
crime Sheedy of this city, to which
union one daughter, Elizabeth Ann,
was born. Leaving this city, he went
to Centerburg and there opened up
racket store which he has success
fully conducted for number of years.
That Mr.. Passmore enjoyed the
respect and esteem of his fellow cit
iezns is evidenced in the fact that he
was elected worshipful master Of
Bloomfield lodge No. 422, Free and
Accepted Masons, last December.
The past several months, he has been
receiving degrees in Clinton Chapter,
No. 26. Royal Arch Masons, in this

VICTORY
For High School In Game
with The Mounts
With Assistance Of Players
From Mansfield

A game rather devoid of fast or
brilliant play was Tuesday nights
contest at the Y. M. c. A. between
the Mounts and the high school, the
latter winning by a score of 25 to 19.
The high school was Reinforced by
Leuthner and Tressel of Mansfield,
while the Mounts had Walters in
their lineup, SO the game was not
strictly between Mt. Vernon teams
and could therefore hardly be termed
a city championship struggle.
Brilliancy of form and fast playing
occurred only in flashes. There was
no consistent team work on either
side, SO the game was more or less of
haphazard affair, the high school
winning out by superior ability in
guarding and shooting baskets.
One of the chief points Of interest
was the fact that the first and second
choices for guard on the mythical
Ohio scholastic basket ball team,
Jones of Mt. Vernon and Tressel of
Mansfield, played their positions for
the high school. 1t was plainly evi.
dent that Jones won his spurs be.
cause of ability to recover the ball
as passing and guarding honors were
pretty evenly divided.
Leuthner of Mansfield played a
good, steady game under the disad.
vantage of strange floor and team.
mates. His method of batting the
ball increased the speed of the high
school to marked extent.
Mitchell of the Mounts, normally
one of the main sources of reliance,
rose from sick-bed to participate in
the contest and was forced to retire
the middle of the second half. In the
first portion of the game, his shots
were way off their customary accur.
acy-a fact which weakened the
Mounts considerably.
On the other hand, the absence
from the lineup of Captain Clayton
made great difference in the play of
the high school. This mans floor
ability was very conspicuous by its
absence Tuesday evening.
Captain Sapp of the Mounts was as
usual the bulwark of his quintet and
actually kept the score down by his
excellent work.

Mr.. George w. Perkins shares Sec
retary Redfield's alarms over the men
ace that Europe will dump cheap good
things on us after the close of the
war.
But Mr.. Perkins disa grees with Sec
retary Redfield as to the remedy.
Mr. Redfield is not quite sure that
he thinks the remedy should be, al
though he is sure he thinks it should
not be protective tariff.
Mr.. Perkins is very partial to pro-
tective tariff and he is not opposed to
the dumping of good things under GER
tain conditions. 1t may be remem-
bered, for instance, that under the pro-
tective tariff which the, last Demo
cratic Congress laid saerilegious hands
on, Mr.. Perkins Harvester Trust
dumped good things on Europe at
much cheaper prices than it allowed
the people of the United States to
have those good things.
Can it be that Mr.. Perkins is so
anxious now to have that protective
tariff restored in order not only that
Americans may be saved from the
blight of cheap good things, but that
he may again infiict on Europeans the
blight of cheap good things?
