BRANDON EPIDEMIC
CAUGHT FROM WIGS
Or II is Possible That Rented Costumes
Developed Spinal Meningitis Which.
Already Has Caused Two
Deaths.

Brandon. Feb. ls.-What appears to be
severe epidemic of spinal meningitis
began here last Friday afternoon, when
the sudden death OF Zeno Hopkins oc.
CURED. The same afternoon Miss Fanny
Peabody, daughter of James Peabody,
was taken suddenly III, and shortly aft.
erward Mr. Peabody was stricken with
the same disease. He died Wednesday
afternoon. Miss Peabody is in a serious
condition and il is not expected she will
live. A consultation OF physicians from
Burlington and Ticonderoga was held and
the disease pronounced spinal meningi-
tis. Charles V. Needham is also serious.
~ i'll with the same disease.
As all who have contracted the dis
ease were in play given at the town
hall last week Wednesday evening, it is
thought that they may have got the dis
ease from some of the costumes or wigs
rented from Boston firm. Both Miss
Peabody and young Hopkins were MEM
bers of the high school and as precau.
tion it was thought best to close the
whole school for the remainder of the
week. DIR. Caverly, president of the state
board of health, was in Brandon yester-
day, but did not think 1t necessary TO
postpone any OF the public entertain
ments unless a further spread Of the dis
ease was evident.

FIRST EXECUTION
HELD IN % YEARS
Oscar J. Comery Was Hanged at New
Hampshire State Prison at Concord
for Murder of His Wife.

Concord. n H., Feb. lS.-Oscar j. Com.
cry, wife murderer, was hanged in the
state prison here this morning, shortly
after midnight.
The trap was sprung at 1882, and he
was legally dead at l2:45.
The execution was the first in the state
in % years. Since the hanging of Frank
c. AEmy, in 1898, for the murder of
Christie Warden, and the subsequent
amending of the statutes to place upon
the jury the burden of imposing the ex-
treme penalty, no jury had made this
recommendation until Comery was con-
victed.
Comery pleaded guilty. His wife died
at her home in Manchester on Nov 20,
1914 The physicians certificate gave
acute indigestion as the cause of death,
and the body was buried without inves-
tigation.
During the next month, however, the
authorities learned from a clergyman in
whom Mrs. Comery had confided, and
who conducted her funeral, that there
were suspicious circumstances attending
her illness. The body was exhumed and
analysis of the stomach by the state
chemist showed that the woman had died
from poisoning.
Comery was arrested on Jan. /, 1915.
and later confessed that he had poisoned
his wife.

If United States Should AL

icy, Says Lodge
MIGHT LEAD TO WAR
WITH GREAT BRITAIN
Senator Endeavors to Stiff
en- Pres. Wilson's
Backbone

Washington d. c., Feb. Ex-senator
Lodge, the ranking minority member OF
the foreign relations committee, made a
long speech in the Senate to-day, declar-
ing that the abandonment by the United
States at this time of the principle that
ports be open to, and its citizens free to
travel upon merchantmen of belligerent
nations armed solely for defensive pur-
poses would be an unneutral act and a
step toward war. He said it would make
the United States an ally of the bellig-
erents whose merchant marine had been
swept from the seas.
q cannot believe that the administra-
ton thinks for moment of altering the
well defined position which il took at tue
outset OF the war" said Senator Lodge;
"and | believe it must stand as firmly
on this question as it has on the ques-
tion of an embargo. Should it act other
wise, it would accept humiliation and in
cur danger of war from which even the
boldest and most INSCRIPTIONS would
shrink"

BARREL FACTORY BURNED.
Incendiary is Suggested at Rochester, N.
H., Blaze.

Rochester, N. H., Feb lS.-Fire last
night destroyed the large barrel factory
on Orchard street owned by Proctor
I Brothers of Nashua, and threatened a
large amount OF other property. The loss
on buildings, stock and machinery viii
total more than $4,000, partially covered
by insurance.
Delay in ringing in the fire alarms and
the failure of hydrants to work for sew
eral minutes gave the flames big start.
A large number of hands are thrown
out of work. The factory consisted of
two story wooden building, l40 feet
long and 80 feet wide. Several sheds and
the boiler house were saved. The fire
burned for five hours and sparks flew IN
all directions.
The damage on machinery is estimated
at 100000, on the building $4,000, stock
$500.
The fire was discovered by Joseph Lit
tie, an employe, who heard cracking
noise in the dryroom and then gave the
alarm.
In trying to fight the fire alone until
the arrival of the department, Mr.. Lit
tie in breaking window seriously cut
his hand.
The fire is believed to have been of in
cendiary origin.

CALLS HIS EXECUTION
JUST RETRIBUTION
Assistant Priest in
a New York Church Had
Confessed to Murder of
Anna Aumuller, Although
He Later Declared That
the Girl Died from an
Operation

Ossining, n. Y, Feb. ls.-Hans Schmidt
was eleetrocuted at Sing Sing prison to.
day for the murder OF Anna Aumuller in
New York on September =, 1918. Schmidt
went quietly to the death chamber and
before taking his seat in the death chair
addressed the witnesses, saying:
Gentlemen, | ask forgiveness of all
those | have injured or scandalized; |
forgive all who have injured me. My last
wish is TO say goodbye to my dear old
mother"
Through his attorney, Alphonse G.
KoeIble, Schmidt last night issued a
statement declaring he was "fully recon
ciled to die and willingly accepted death
as retribution for his frailties." He as
serted, however, that his execution would
be due to lying and not for murder be-
cause Miss Aumuller's death resulted
from an operation. He added that he
felt morally responsible" for the girls
death and could not "in honor" drag those
TO ruin who took part in the operation
at my solicitation"
Portions of Anna Aumuller's body were
found in the Hudson river but the head
never was found. In Schmidt's fiat the
police found long bladed butcher knife
and other evidence that the murder was
committed there. Schmidt later con-
fessed, and his sole defense was that it
was blood sacrifice murder. At that
time Schmidt was an assistant priest at
an uptown church.

Ansona. Conn.,. Feb. IS.-The city of

foreign birth, are unskilled, and although
speaking dozen European languages,
have been secretly welded into one or
ganization without the assistance of an

The mill officials, who were taken com
pletely by surprise, have as yet been
unable TO find the agency through which
the great body of men was suddenly
