AVERILL BEGINS
ERECTING COTTAGES
Expects to Have Eight or Nine Ready
( for Occupancy at Silverdale When
Next Season Opens.

Richard c. Averill of this village,
who last summer bought the Silverdale
hotel property at Spofford lake of Slade
& Joslin, has torn down the old hotel
buildings except the dining hall. which
he is using temporarily for storage pur-
poses, and has begun the. erection of
one of the eight or nine cottages which
he plans to build
He is employing eight to 10 carpen-
tiers. and expects TO have the cottages
ready for occupancy next season. They
will be different in design and will be
provided with garage facilities.
The supply of up-to-date cottages has
been insufficient to meet the demand,
so it is expected that the new cottages
will rent readily.
Mr.. Averill is dividing his time be-
tween the lake, his wooden and paper
mills in Hinsdale and his home here.

Sarrel Sawyer Found Dead
in TOwnshend This
Morning
BODY FOUND BY
ANOTHER HUNTER
Death Caused by Bullet Through Heart
Not Known by Whom Shot Was
Fired-State' Attorney and Sheriff
Making Investigation.

Shot by a hunters bullet, the lifeless
body of Sarrell Sawyer of Townshend, a
deer hunter So years old, was found about
s O'Clock this morning by Joseph Snow,
another deer hunter.
Mr.. Sawyer was shot through the heart
and fell in his tracks, as his rife was
found beside him on the ground
He is believed to have been killed by
a stray bullet, but he may have been
mistaken for deer If shot ,at by mis-
take the person doing the shooting did
not make his identity known, as the Town
shend authorities have no knowledge of
who fired the shot.
The body of Mr.. Sawyer was found by
Joseph Snow of Townshend, who also was
deer hunting 1t was about three-cnarters
of a mile from the home of Mr.. and Mrs
Fred Watson on West hill, between Town
shend and West Townshend. Mr.. Snow
says he thinks Mr.. Sawyer had been dead
about half an hour when the body was
found
Mr. Sawyer lived with Mr.. and Mrs.
Watson, Mrs. Watson being his daughter.
He went there about three years ago from
his native town of Peru
Although of an advanced age Mr.. Saw.
yer was as active as many men far young
er and was an experienced hunter. He
looked forward with anticipation to the
opening of the deer season and was out
early with his rife.
When Mr.. Snow found the body he
went to the Watson home and gave the
news Mr.. Watson is one of the seleetmen
of Townshend, but he wished to have an
other member of the board see the body
and so went to the home of o. B. Dauchy
and telephoned to Selectman E. S. Allbee,
who went with him.
There appeared to be no question but
that death was accidental, and permission
for the removal of the body to the Wat
son house was given.
1t was about $50 o'clock when the Sc
lectmen reached the scene of the accident,
ad the body of Mr.. Sawyer was still warm.
States Attorney Z. w. Gibson and
Sheriff Frank L. Wellman left Brattle-
boro by automobile this afternoon for
Townshend to investigate the case.

All the principal runs of the deer in
Wlndham county were guarded by hunt
ers when the open deer season began at
6 o'clock this morning, and while reports
OF several kills have been received the re-
ports are slow to come in as most of the
hunters are in the woods and on the hills
far from telephone connection.
The first report came from Dummer-
ston. Early this morning Henry Evans
OF that town, a l5-year-old boy, shot si:-

81, 700 The number greatly exceeds that
of previous years and probably is less
than one-third the number issued in Wind
ham county Dealers have been unable
to supply the demand for rifles, SD shot
guns have been pressed into service In
larger numbers than usual, and for that
purpose there has been an exceptional de-
mand for loaded shells.
The reason for this unusual appeal to
the sportsmen is that during the open
season this year, until 5 o'clock Saturday
night, hunter may shoot either buck
or doe, whereas the law in force last
year allowed only bucks with horns az
least three inches long to be shot.

DID NOT USE THE MONEY.
American Relief Administration Will
Return Large Sum to Treasury.

NEW YORK, Dec 1.-The American
Relief administration will return to the
United States government approximately
S88. $50, 900 of the Sl00000,000 appropriated
by congress for relief in Europe, accord
ing to the preliminary report of Herbert
G. Hoover on the work of the administra-
ton. which was made public last night.
The money will be returned in the form
of treasury notes from various European
which shared in the rehef
work. The rest of the fund was expend-
ed for supplies which were donated on
charitable basis for which there will
be no reimbursement" The report was
sent in duplicate to President Wilson and
to congress on Nov. "A.
Because of the foreign exchange situa-
ton in Europe, Mr.. Hoover said, it was
impossible at present to "obtain relm-
bursement in CASH for the supplies con-
tracted for by the governments in the
relief areas.
The relief supplies bought by the admin
istration. according to the report, were
"all of American origin, and none of the
appropriation therefore was expended out
side of the United States, except to some
extent for local freight and handling
charges in Europe
Poland received S57 100000 worth of re
lief supplies, or more than half of the
money spent. Armenia was second, receiy
ING $40, 900 in supplies.
The supplies that We're given were FOL

tribnted greatly to stabilizing the situation

with impartial effect to Jenkins. The
Mexican government cannot argue that
it cannot intervene with the judicial
processes of a state unless there has
been denial of justice, the American
note declares, because it contends there
already has been denial of justice and
the Mexican constitution extends the
power of the federal government to
'Eall eases concerning consular officers
and diplomatic agents.
The United States is not to be driv-
en- by "'such subtle arguments, says
the note, "into defensive of its own
request for the release of Mr.. Jenkins.
1t is for Mexico to show cause for his
detention not for the United States to
show cause for his liberation.
The note says the only conclusion this
government can draw is that Mexico
has made "studied effort to ensnare
Jenkins in legal intricacies TO divert the
attention of both the American and
Mexican people from the fact that the
second largest city in Mexico is over
run by bandits.
1T appears says the note, "to
have been the purpose of the Mexican
government to assume n wilful indif-
ference to the feelings of the American
people that have been aroused to the
Goint of indignation by the exposure
hardships and physical suffering by
Jenkins.

BIG COTTON STRIKE
IN FALL RIVER
Textile Mills With $4,000 Employees
Tied Up-Unions Demand
IS Per Cent Increase.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Dee. 1-Vir-
tually all the textile mills of this city,
employing $4,000 operatives, were tied
up today by strike for a 25 per cent
increase in wages. The demands were
made by six unions of the National
Amalgamation of Textile operatives
numbering approximately 1000 and
their leadership, as has been the case
in previous strikes, was largely followed
by the unorganized workers. Many of
the latter went to work as usual at the
opening hour today. but left the mills
when it appeared that the strike was eff
fective.
The United Textile Workers of Amer
ica, an organization which has about
5000 members here, announced that il
would take no formal part in the strike
but early reports indicated that many
of these operatives had remained away
from the mills. No disorder was re
ported.

STRIKE CALLED OFF.
Railroad Men at Kansas City
Wanted Strike Benefits.

KANSAS CITY, No., Dec. L.
As suddenly and unexpectedly as
it began Saturday the strike of
l,500 railroad switchmen in the
local yard was called off early to-
day. The action was taken at a
secret meeting which began yes
terday and lasted far into the
night. Reasons for the decision
were not forthcoming, but it was
understood that an announcement
at the meeting that the strike was
unauthorized and that strike bene-
fits would be withheld, had much
to do with the final action.
