EACH 1o YEARS OLD
According To Birth Certificates Of Pro-
tested Goddard Men.

Trackmen OF Goddard seminary believe
they have disproved effectively the claims
made by other interscholastic teams in
the state that members of the winning
seminary combination that cantered away
with the state championship at the meet
in Burlington May % were over Il years
OF age. Proof positive. according to those
who govern the destinies of sport on
the hilltop, is at hand in the shape OF
birth certificates setting forth the age of
each Goddard trackman protested. At
some pains the athletic authorities at the
school communicated with the clerks in
the towns where the three protested men
were born and obtained data that sets at
rest any disclaimer made by defeated
teams in the interscholastic meet.
In a statement made to The Times to-
day, the Goddard track team gave out
the following information:
I'm former communication from the
Goddard track team it was announced
that the men designated by Brsttleboro
as members OF our team had written for
their birth certificates. These boys. who
the other schools claimed were over age,
are Witt, Connor and Quinn. Copies of
the birth certificates have been received
and each one of the three is 10 years old.
disappointment over defeat has made
many schools in the past make charges
against the age of Goddard players. We
hope the time will come when schools viii
place their athletics on a basis of true
craftsmanship and take defeat in a mat
" way.

HELD WITHOUT BAIL
ON MURDER CHARGE
Drew Hopkins Pleaded Not Guilty To
Killing His Father, Charles L. Hop
kins, Near West Gloucester.

| Gloucester, Mass, June 4-Drew Hop
kins, arrested last night charged with
numbering his father, Charles L. Hopkins
pleaded not guilty to-day and was held
without bail for a hearing next Friday.
The elder Hopkins body was found in a
shallow grave in West Gloucester near
the spot where he was last seen on Feb.
l2.
Bullet wounds in the right side of
the head indicated that he had been mur-
dered. His watch and small sum OF
money which he carried were missing.
The fact that his clothing was torn
was believed by the police to indicate
that he had fought for his life, before
he was shot.
On the day that Hopkins disappeared
he had been out for a walk with his
son, Drew. The latter returned to his
lodging house alone, saying his father
had gone to Boston. The place where
the young man said he parted from
his father is not far from the grave
where the body was found, according
to the police.
Officers last night went to Topsfeld.
where Drew Hopkins had been employ
ed as forester. They expected that
he would accompany them to this city
10 aid in the investigation.
Medical Examiner Daniel J. Finnegan
performed an autopsy on the body yes
terday, which disclosed the bullet wounds
in the head.
Drew Hopkins was located in Tops6eld |
and brought to this city late last night.
where he was given long examination
BY the city marshal and detained for
further investigation. He denied any
of his fathers death. He ad-
ntted that he had revolver.

Rutland, June 4.--Firm in his intention
TO end his life. Robert Ross, an employt
Of the city water department, made q
second attempt TO kill himself yesterda,
afternoon while in bed in a ward at the
Rutland hospital, ard but for the prompt
work Of a nurse who was beside him al
the time, assisted by others OF the STAFF
whom she summoned, Ross would have
been suicide. He had torn of the band
ages and ripped open many Of the stitches
which closed gap in his neck reaching
from one ear to the other. His condition
is but little changed by his last attempt
at suicide and the attending physician,
DIR. II. RI. Gebhardt, thinks there is a
good chance for his ultimate recovery.
Since Ross cut his throat with razor
few nights ago special officer has been
stationed at his bedside during the night,
but during the day, especially when any
OF the nurses was present, Ross has been
very quiet. He rayed more when alone
and during his stay at the institution he
has caused no trouble when the officer
was present. Yesterday afternoon about
J o'clock he was being given some nour-
ishment in the form of tea when he sud
denly grabbed at the bandages about his
neck and before the nurse could offer
much resistance he had torn them of
and, graphing at The wound, he opened
several Of the stitches, Of which there
We're over 30. Hs was finally subdued
and the physiciansf were summoned.

the death of his wife, which occurred
about six months ago. On Friday night
of last week he entered the sleeping
apartment at his clearinghouse and aft
er awakening the occupants. Mr.. and
Mrs. John Moulden. he ran into another

ALLIES ARE STUNNED.
By the Capture Of Pryemysl--Many Of
the Forts Weakened.

London, June 4.--With the capture o.
Przempsl, the Austro.Germa armies
achieved the main object OF the great
thrust, which they commenced against
the Russian lines in western Galicia just
a month ago yesterday. They have yet
to drive the Russians farther back and
establish themselves in easily defended
positions which will enable them TO de-
tach forces for operations against Italy
and the allies in the west.
Whether or not they accomplish this,
the Teutonic allies have won a great
victory and with a suddenness which
overshadows all past operations of the
war. 1t was only 10 weeks ago that
Przemysl fell to the Russians after a
six months investment, which was inter
rupted for short time in November by
an Austrian advance. With the surren-
der of the fortress there fell into the
Russian hands, according to official re-
ports, about 10000 Austrians and 600
guns and an immense amount of war
material.
Most of the forts, however, had been
completely destroyed by the Austrans
before they surrendered, and this is con-
sidered in military circles here to ac-
count for the fact that the fortress
succumbed so quickly to the Austro-
German attack.
When the Russians captured Prem
ysl they were pressing the Austrians
across the Carpathian passes. Then on
May 3, came the news of a great Aus
tro- German thrust into Galicia. Advanc-
ing slowly but surely and accompanied
by a thousand guns, the Teutons com
PEELED the Russians to fall back until
the Russian line ran to the right bank
Of the river San. Crossing the river
the Austro-German forces progressed to
5he north and south of the fortress and
IN Tuesday Berlin announced that three
'orts to the north had been stormed,
While Vienna stated that the railway
between Przemysl and Lemberg was COM
handed by Austrian guns.

Berlin to Present Person
ally to the German Off
cials an Outline Of Ameri-
can Declaration and State
of Public Opinion

| Washington, D. c., Jun 4.-President
Wilson finished his new note to Germany
to-day and laid it before the cabinet
Probably it will be despatched to Berlin
late tonight or early tomorrow. No ar
lrangements have yet been made as to thu
time it will be made public.
During the preparation of the note the
president consulted with Secretary Bryan
over the principles and details, also with
Counsellor Lansing and Attorney Genera,
Gregory, who investigated the affidavits
that the Lusitania carried guns. The
government is convinced that there is no
ground for the contention, and the note
will so inform Germany.
To-day's cabinet meeting began with
all the members practically agreed that
the United States cannot consider the
German reply responsive and must insist
before diplomatic correspondence can pro-
ceed further upon an affirmative or mega
tive answer to the principle that lives or
non -combatan : cannot lawfully be i'm
perilled on the high seas but must be
transferred to safety before legitimate
prize is destroyed.

GERMANS IN LIBAU
SAID TO BE CUT OFF
Lack Of Movement by Allies
in the Western Arena Is
Causing Conside era bic
Speculation in London
Italian Austrian Cam :
paign Is in Doubt

Having captured Przemysl, the Austro
German forces are maintaining their OF
fensive with unusual speed along th'
Galician front. The troops which brok'
through the Russian line at Stry arr
pushing northward rapidly. A statement
from the Russian war Office contains al
admission that in the region beyond tht
Dneister river the Austro-German forces
have advanced.
A Petrograd despatch states that the
German force which captured the Russian
Baltic seaport Of Libau some time ago
has been isolated. Russian forces are
said to have cut off the Germans from
their base at Memel, East Prussia. while
other Russian troops have approached
from the north and the south so that the
only communication with Libau now is
by sea.
There are few details of the Italian
campaign. A statement from the Italian
chief of staff says that the preliminary
movements are continuing along the
whole frontier. developing to the ad
vantage of tn Italians. The Vienna war
Office states that the Italians have bonn
barded Austrian forces at several points
without success.
Some commentators on the military
situation are suggesting in London to-day
that the allies will now initiate an OF ;.
fensive movement in the hope of reliev-
ing che pressure on the IIssians, but on
the other hand it is noticeable that dur
ing the Austro- German rush into Galicia
there was no synchronizing allied move
ment in the west and it would be no sur
prise in London if the Germans them
selves should begin serious offensive
in France or Belgium.
