Thanksgiving" was declared by Mr..
Davidson to be the ideal Thanksgiving,
and the thanksgiving day as original
ly intended both in Israel and Ameri-
ca. Ut is not day to be observed
once a year with a turkey dinner, but
one which should be continual: daily
thanksgiving for bountiful blessings,
and to God who has given us the earth
to enjoy.
Mr.. Davidson took his text from L.
Chronicles 1877, Then on that day
did David first ordain to give thanks
unto Jehovah" The speaker said in
part:
The first Thanksgiving day in Is
rael and the first one in America at
Plymouth in 1921 were not celebrated
to recognize any phenomenal prospect

cases country and religion were In 4

DEATH DUE TO COLD
AND STARVATION
John Tracy, Essex Junction Hermit, Had
$4,000 in banks and Owned $4,000
Farm, Yet He Would Not
Agree to Plans for
Better Care.

Essex Junction, Jan. 25.---John Tracy
an aged man, a life-long resident of the
town, was found dead yesterday morn.
ing at his home, little house on the
Colchester road about mile and hall
from this village, whehe he had lived the
| life OF u hermit for over 40 years 10.
seph paladee, who drives bakery team
went there yesterday morning to take
his order, as was his custom. He got
no response from his knocking and
thought best to notify the nearest neigh
Dor, G. G. Norton, who telephoned to DR..
|C. NJ. Ferrin, health officer, who told Mr..
Norton to break open the door.
When this was done, Mr.. Tracy was
found on the floor, where he had fallen
from the bed. He had been dead several
hours. There was no fire in the house
and kettle of water on the stove was
frozen solid. The doctor thought it prob
able that Mr.. Tracy had been i'll for a
day or so. Death was due to cold and
lack of nutriment.
Mr. Tracy WAS born In this town Sept.
27, 1882, being a member of one of the
best families of the town of that time.
Family troubles caused him to take mp
the life he had lived. Although his home
was poverty stricken, il was not from
necessity so, as he had about $4,000 in
the bank and valued the farm upon which
his house stands at about $4,000. Dr.
Ferrin and Selectman O. S. Nichols went
to the house and Mr.. Nichols ordered the
body brought to the undertaking rooms
OF A. y. Douglas. Mr. Tracy was never
married and his only surviving relative
is niece, Mrs. Manley Allen OF Hard
wick, who was notified and came here
last night.
Dr. Ferrin and Others had tried this win
ter several times to have him make 9th
er arrangements for living and care, but
he would not do so, stating that it would
be too expensive.

Mr. tarstens by means of stories of
conditions existing in Massachusetts
towns gained through his work illustrat-
ed the social problems which need atten-
tion and legislation. He urged legisla-
tion for the child rather than the adult
and said that sooner or later every state
must assume the responsibility Of caring
for defective children and to legislate SO
that the birth of such children may be
prevented.
Rev. Mr.. Metzger concluded his re
marks by saying that the day is coming
when prevention viii be given more con
sideration than cure or control, when we
shall have the school versus jail, hospital
versus asylum, home versus prison. We
should build the child into an asset rath-
er than a liability.
DIR. Dalton read a paper prepared by
DIR. Caveriy, who was unable to be pres
ent. DIR. Caverly's topic was the needy
child from the viewpoint of the state
board of health, and the following sug-
gestions were included: Every Vermont
town should have isolation hospitale that
are real hospitals, not pest houses; sani-
tariums for advanced cases OF tubercnlo-
sis; health inspection in schools, for the
schools must be chief factor and an

WILSON'S SUGGESTION
TURNED DOWN
Senate Interstate Commerce Committee
Rejects Provision Forbidding Strike
or Lockout Pending Investiga-
ton of Controversy.

| Washington, d. c., Jan. 25..-For The
second time since it began consideration
OF railroad legislation to supplement TIL,
Adamson law, the Senate interstate com
merce committee yesterday declined tC
approve provision suggested by Presi
dent Wilson forbidding strike or lock
out pending investigation of labor con.
| troversy. The vote was 10 to 5. with
three Democratic senator's, Underwood
Smith of South Carolina and Thompson
voting with the Republicans in the mega
! tive.
On the first vote ten days ago the
committee turned down this provision,
TO 3. A further effort may be made to
win the committees approval, and if this
is Unsuccessful, fight win be made for
the provision when railroad legislation
reaches the floor of the Senate some
weeks hence.
Chairman Newlands last night said the
committee was still at work on an in
vestigation bill with this feature elimi-
mated and was confident that approval
would be given a measure that would
prevent obstructions to interstate com
merce, without actually forbidding a
strike
The action of the committee came
shortly after representatives of the four
railroad brotherhoods informed President
Wilson, who was at the capitol consult
ing senators about other legislative ques
tions, that they desired to suggest
changes to tire Bills now pending before
the Senate and House committee The
president asked that the suggestions be-
submitted in writing aud promised to
give them careful consideration. The
brotherhood leaders declined to make
public their proposals at this time, but
it is understood they follow the lines in
dicated in hearings before the House
committee and provide for a permanent
investigation commission composed part
ly OF employers and employees, without
any strike prohibition feature.
The Senate committee adopted a pro-
vision for board OF investigation to be
appointed by the president when occa-
sion arises which would be called into
being only in case the present federal
board of mediation and concilistion failed
to settle controversy. The board would
be authorized to investigate and report
not only the facts, out its conclusions as
to the merits OF each side
When the committee concluded its
work for the day it had reached a pre-
vision designed to prevent obstruction
of interstate commerce without interfer-
ence with the right to strike.
The suggestion before it would make it
a misdemeanor punishable by six months
imprisonment OF a fine Of 500 for a rail-
road employe who has quit work to OBJ
struct the mails or the passage Of inter
state colamerCc.
The mill includes the suggested pro-
vision authorizing the president 10 take
over and operate the railroads in case Of
military necessity. Opposition to the
proposal has been manifested BY rail-
road men if .he authorization is 20 ex-
tend not 6nly 20 case of war or threat
eaed war, Of insurrectiDn, but to eFaer-
Scneies in peace times.
