FORMER BARRE MAN DEAD.
James w. Averill, Twin Brother of the
Late John w. Averill.

James Weston Averill a native OF
OrangeSreared in Barre, but for many
years resident of Otisville, Mich.
died in that place on April II, of heart
failure, according TO work which has
just been received by Mrs. Adela M
Averill of Beckley hill, whose husband,
the late John w. Averill, was twin
brother of the subject of this sketch.
The twins lived singularly parallel
lives. Born on July Z, l84l, the sons of
Weston D. Averill, they spent their
early years together in Orange and
came to Barre when about seven years
of age, Here they were educated to-
gether in the district schools and in
the Civil war they enlisted, along with
ten other Barre men, in the Sth Yer
mont Volunteers, the II men forming
a band. Still together, the twins went
to Franklin, La, in February, 1864,
where they joined their regiment and
they served in that state until July 5
of that year when the Sth Vermont
was transferred to Washington and
the Shenandoah valley Sickness sep

battle of the Wilderness; but John
Wilson Averill had recovered from his
illness sufficiently to do protective
duty at the "St Albans Raid and
then to rejoin his regiment Both were
mustered out in the last year of the
war.
Returning to Barre the twins mar
ried sisters, John w. marrying Adela
NJ. Trow and James W marrying
Emma S. Trow, the brides being the
daughters of Mr. and Mrs Dexter
Trow. The twins each had seven chill
dren. In their older years, as well as
their younger, John w and James w.
Averill bore a striking resemblance to
each other and when seen on the

tie in their appearance by which the
casual acquaintance could distinguish
them, although, of course, James w.
walked with limp because of the loss
of one foot. Their lives were very much
bound up in each other although in
their later years many miles separated
them. Both engaged in farming practi
cally all their lives, although lately
James W had retired and was living
in the village of 0tisville A final par
allel was that both died of the same
disease, the symptoms Of which were
very much alike

AS They Strung Along in
Boston's Marathon
Race
FOLLOWING BREEZE
HELPED ATHLETES
Country's Best Long Dis
tance Men Competed
In the Classic

Boston april l9.-The American
Marath 50 ad race was run again to-
day. Id of Sc athletes, the coun-
try 4 t in the long distance running
- competed. The runners started
~ DON from Ashland, % miles west
: this city, under dull skies and
following breeze. The ddy was cool.
As in many previous years, George
Y. Brown, former athletic manager of
the Boston A. A., fired the gun that
sent the runners on their way The
pack broke away well punched but aft
er few warming-up strides Carl w.
A. Linder of the Boston A A., winner
Of the race in 1919, went to the front.
He held the lead by few feet when
the runners headed for South Franz
ingham.
After shaking down the field in the
early miles, the leaders dashed through
South birmingham, with Schon Chris
tensen of Chicago, Frank Zuna of New
York and Charles Mellor of Chicago
ahead
Linder was the leader of another
group that included Runar Gilman of
Milton and A. r. Nicholson of Stam-
ford, Conn. Close behind them were
Henry Dobler of Chicago, Oswald Spar
son of Boston, Wallie Carlson and
Frank Gillespie, both of Chicago. All
were running srong, but they were
somewhat behind the record
The time at South Framnigham. four
miles and one half from the start was
- minutes, % seconds.
Over the easy hills between tie
Framinghams and Natick the leaders
loped without material change in run
ming order. Zuna led Christensen
slightly at Natick square, with Mellor
at the latter's heels, and the groups
behind were the. same as
at South birmingham, except that
Dobler and Sparson dropped back sew
eral places.
The time was still slow explained in
part by the quartering slant of wind.
The slightly more than eight miles Of
running to Natick square was covered
in a. minutes 2l seconds.
The leading trio exchanged pace to
keep the going fast, and at Wellesley
it was Mellor who first received the
plaudits of the crowd. Zuna and Chris
tensen shared with him the greeting in
which the young women of Wellesley
college joined with townsfolk.
Lnder, Nicholson and Ohmar held
their formation as a secondary group,
and into the third group Peter Trivou
Iidas of New York, the native of
Greece who won last year, had worked
his way to hold ninth place. His stride
was firm and he set out to overtake
he leaders, as he did a year ago, on
he slopes of the Newton hills.
The runners at Wellesley had gone
about II miles in one hour, one minute,
IS seconds, still several minutes behind
he record.
Trivoulidas' spurt was sustained and
1t Newton boulevard, opposite the Old
Park hotel, he had advanced
o fourth place.
Zuna was leading at that point, ap-
,roEimately Is miles from the start.
With Mellor Just behind him. Their
ime was ! hour, q minutes.
Christensen held third place uncon-
ested at the moment but Trivoulidas
ormed the head of a running wedge
n which Linder, Gilman and Henri
'ournoyer Of Cambridge were the sup
not far behind

WITH
 JAPAN ENDED
Terms of Agreement Kept in Secret, HOwveer- Ambassa- dOrs Agree on the California Question.

Washington, Jan. 25-Negotiations between Ambassadors Morris and Shidehara for the settlement of the California question and the definition of the rights of the Japanese in the United States have been successfully concluded.
 Baron Shidehara has submitted his report to the foreign office at Tokyo and MT. Morris has his report ready for consideration by Secretary Colby, who is expected to return to Wash ington Thursday from South Amer lea.
 Approval of the conclusions of the two ambassadors must be given their governments before any further ac- tion looking to settlement of the controversy that has arisen over the California anti-alien land law can be had.
 Members of the Senate foreign re- lations committee have kept advised by Mr. Morris of the various phases of the negotiations so that if the committee desired to consider in the remaining days of the present session any draft treaty which President Will son might submit the way would be cleared for prompt action.
 Administration officials have had no assurance that it is the purpose of the Republican leaders to endeavor to dispose of any American-Japanese treaty at present, but it is understood some representations have been made from Republican sources that it might relieve the Harding administration of a considerable burden if such a treaty could be concluded during the present session,
 These representations are said to have been based upon the theory that the so-called California question can be considered by the Senate, and by the House as we'll, as a purely non- partisan question:

COTTON EXPORT
 CORPORATION
To Market Cotton Crop of the South Direct From Producer to Spinner in Foreign Coun- tries is Planned.
Special to The News.

Special to The News.
 Little Rock, Jan. 26-Having as it's object the marketing of the cotton crop of the South direct from the producer to the spinner in Europe and other foreign countries, a cam paign for the organization of the American Products Export 6 Import Corporation is to be launched in the State of Arkansas at a very early date. Representatives of the corpor- ation have been in the state for some days discussing the matter of organi- zation with farmers, bankers and business men, to secure and enlist their support for this great South wide cooperative movement. The cor poration has been organized under the laws of South Carolina with capital stock of $10,000,000. Rich ard l. Manning, former governor of the State of South Carolina, we'll known banker and farmer, is presi- dent. The corporation has already been extended to North Carolina and 1 it is planned to secure the support of the farmers and business men in all of the Southern cotton producing states. The Export Corporation has received the endorsement of the eFd- eral Reserve Banks, leading bankers of the South and East, farmers, American Cotton Association, the manufacturing associations of several states, and other organizations throughout the country. The efforts of the American Products Export &
 Import Corporation to remedy the marketing conditions of the South seem to be on the high road to suc- cess. The corporation is already shipping cotton to Central Europe.

ORGANIZATION
 BREAKS RECORD
Guards Secure More Members in First Days Work Here Than Any Place in Arkansas
 "A Enlistments Yesterday.

The effort yesterday to organize a unit of the National Guard in Pres colt was highly successful. A en- listments were secured and there will be no difficulty in getting six more to sign. The maximum number is 65, the required 50.
 A meeting at the court house last night added great enthusiasm to our people. Captain Cone, of Pine Bluff Company, supervised the work and stated this afternoon that the num- Der of enlistments secured yesterday was greater than any number had in one day in Arkansas. The first days work in Pine Bluff secured only 15 members.
 The National Guard will consist of members between the ages of IS and 45, They will receive regular equip ment and be paid only for actual ser vice. They will be required to drill one and one-half hours each week and for this will receive one days pay. It is something that every phy- sically fit man between the required ages should take advantage of. When We are called to war again, and we will be, a great deal of the camp training will be unnecessary. If there remains a vacancy in the company you will be doing yourself good and the country also by filling it.

 1 CHECKS TARIFF
arrison, of Mississippi, Leads tbe Attack-DemOcrat Claims
 Fordney Schedules Would Send Living Costs Soaring.

Washington, Jan. 25.-The Fordney 6f bill was brought into the Sen \ for consideration today, but im- zIiately ran into a small but ef- Hive flibuster. Merits of the bill A reasons for it's early enactment 1.-the Senate had scarcely been out kd by Senator McCumber, Re- blican, North Dakota, before Sen
 & Harrison, Democrat, Mississippi, hched an attack which continued
 hl adjournment.
 The tactics in forcing delay in con- hration at the time were considered Ind by opponents of the bill in as uch as the postoffice appropriation
 Il is scheduled for tomorrow and yeral money supply bills are ex- cted to be ready when that mea- re is out of the way.
 Senator McCumber appealed for Bon on the measure on the ground at it would affect more than 30,- 0,000 people The government, he Id, owes to those people immediate Bon which will protect them and ve from absolute bankruptcy some \ the producers of farm commodi-
 s.
 NYou want to make the farm at active," he said. "You know as we'll do it is to make farming worth lile. It's the glow of the dough at is attractive and that's why this sasure should be passed quickly" Senator Harrison in his address arged that the North Dakota sena- wanted ito save few people making the rest of the country y the bill" Such a tariff as was ked on wheat, he said, could do thing but increase the price of lad.
 The Mississippi senator inquired lether in the recent campaign it q not been one of the chief argu- snts of the Republican party that ? cost of living should be lowered, q referred again to what he said tariff would mean in living costs. le bill, he said, was being used to oodwink" the farmers, and he asked Republican side, where then only

so soon after election
 Why" Senator Harrison said, possibly the senators who want this passed are sponsoring blue law re- forms. They ask tariff on tobacco"
 Senator McCumber informed Sena- tor Harrison the tobacco amendment had come from a Democrat, but Sena- tor Simmons, Democrat, North Caro- lima, interrupted to say it was in- tended only to cover the kind of to- bacco grown in Connecticut. He add ed that he knew of no grower of to- bacco in the south who ever had asked for a tariff.
 "Well, that places the thing now where no one wants to accept re- sponsibility for some of the items, y said Senator Harrison.
 Senator McCumber then asked that adjournment be taken and MT. Harri- son walked out of the chamber with broad grin.
