for all employees comprising these

GREAT HAILSTONES
FELL IN BETHEL
Windows Smashed and Crops Damaged
by Hardest. Bombardment Ever
Known by, Inhabitants.

Bethel, June IA storm of great
severity visited this village for. a few
minutes yesterday afternoon about
$3.50 o'clock. 1t was such a combina
tion of lightning, rain, hail and wind
as was never seen here before, and no.
body bresthed very freely until it was
past, which was very short time aft
er it began. There have been worse
rain, lightning and wind storms, but
the hail beat all local records, jildg-
ing by conservative statements of old
inhabitants. Many middle aged people
say they never saw so much hail any
where. Others say once or twice in
their lives they saw similar storms,
but not in Bethel. Apparently nobody
ever saw anything like it here.
In two or three minutes lawns weuf
half covered with hail stones, some o.
which were an inch in diameter or In
length, according to their shape. Many
people gathered them up in pansful
and at Il. n. Davis gallon of ice
cream was frozen with them. This
could have been done in many places
and probably was done in some others.
Il oui VI HNe HbuTs dILtT bDe sEOfIH,
piles of hailstones remained on lawns,
beneath roofs or where they had been
swept or shoyeled up.
Due in part to the gale. which was
a part Of the storm, many windows
were broken by the hail and much
damage was done to tomatoes, beans,
corn and other garden products. Many
persons, because of drought and frost,
had just set out their tomato plants,
only to have them cut down BY hail.
Horses driven in harness, tied to posts
and in stables which the hail entered
through windows became nervous, IL
not unmanageable, and who could
blame them?
Two boys who had started in a ca
noe, seeing the storm approach, hasti-
ly reached shore and took refuge un-
der their canoe, inverted.
Perhaps the chief damage of the
storm was to Hill roads, down which
torrents of water rolled rapidly, and
TO the telephone system, many Of
whose lines Fwere broken by falling
trees and limbs, So far as known, nc.
body suffered bodily inpry by the
storm, which seems to have covered
only small area SO far as the hail Is

WILL CONDUCT
AN AUTOPSY
On Body of John ]. Murray
After Request By
Brothers
WHO DECLARE MUCH
MONEY MISSING
Murray's Body Was Taken
Out of the River on
Monday

n Rodney j. Murray of Windsor AM
Alex. Murray of Graniteville to-day
appealed to States Attorney Fred B
Thomas of Montpelier to hold an au
topsy on the body of John J. Murray
which was taken out of the Stevens
| branch south of Blackwell street yes
terday morning; and after hearing
their statements, States Attorney
Thomas agreed to hold an autopsy just
as soon as officials from the state lab
oratory at Burlington could arrive
here.
One of the reasons why the request
for an autopsy was made was because
of the statement of Rodney and Alex
Murray that their brother left Gran
heville Sunday with 1928 and that the
only money found on his body yester.
day was Sll.30, together with his gold
watch, fountain pen and other personal
belongings. They say, too, that the
Sll.30 was found in hip pocket OF
the trousers and that John was not
accustomed TO carry his money in that
pocket, but rather in the breast of his
coat. His glasses, which he carried in a
case IN his pocket, were missing
But stronger reason for the re-
quest for an autopsy was the slate
ment from the undertaken that there
was not more than half cupfuT of
water in the mans lungs and that the
eyes of the man were closed when the
body was taken from the water, which
was considered by some as unusual in
case of drowning The two brothers do
not believe, either, that the report their
brother was intoxicated Just prior to
his disappearance Sunday evening can
be substantiated.
So far as discovered, there was only
one mark on the body, that being a
bruise on the mans back; but that
bruise might have been received when
the body was being hauled out of the
river.
arrangements had been made for the
funeral at the Graniteyille Presbyteri.
an church Wednesday afternoon at ,
o'clock, but those arrangements were
made somewhat uncertain by the de-
cision of the states attorney TO holu
an autopsy. II is expected, however,
that the funeral can be carried out as
planned.
Local authorities had about conclud.
ed that the death was accidental after
investigating the case and listening 20
the statements of William Springer
Smith and Charles Lee who said they
were with Murray Sunday evening.
Smiths story was somewhat indeti
mite but Lee corroborated the details
Smith gave and added Others. Lee says
the three men had been together dur.
ing the evening and were separating NJ
the Central Vermont railroad bridge
near the Calder & Richardson coal
sheds, Lee and Smith going towards
River street by way of path leading
by the Harrison Granite Go. plant lee
says he was about - feet from the
bridge. with Smith tagging on behind,
when he heard splash.
Returning to the bridge, they saw
m object in the water which they
thought to be Murray, They shouted
and after hearing a sound which they
thought to be 'All right" they pro.
'eeded, believing that Murray had
'lambered out of the river Smith had |
llso told about hearing a splash.

Must Go Back to Work
AND LIVE UP TO
THEIR CONTRACT
Newspapers Are Being
Printed In Abbreviated
Form

Boston, June l4.--Evening newspa
pers in this city. were published in ey'
cry instance to-day notwithstanding q
walkout of cempositors that continued
movement begun in morning news
paper offices last night. Papers were
of varying sizes, most of them reduced
from normal.
The actiorf of the men was declared
to be unauthorized by Sylvester j. Me
Bride, president of the local typo
graphical union In statement he
said:
There is no question but that the
action of the compositors in Walking
out was Illegal. Unqliestionably the in.
ternational and local unions will COM
pei them to return to work and live
up to their contract. The compositors
are very much incensed over the decis-
ion Of the arbitration board and tho
unnecessary delay taken by it in
reaching its findings, covering a period
of eight months. The board paid no at
tention to the transcript of evidence
and went outside of it in making its
findings"
The afternoon newspapers to-day re-
printed the statement given out by the
publishers last night Thet statement
termed the strike as unwarranted and
illegal, aud in violation of an agree
ment with the International Typo
graphical union which provides that
there shall be no strikes or lockouts
under any considerations.
The publishers explained that q 10,

GODDARD COMMERCIAL
GRADUATES REUNITED
Banquet and Business Meeting Was
Held at the School Last
Evening.

| AT the Goddard dining hall last eve
ming 20 members of the Goddard com
mercial alumni association with the
commercial class of 1921 as their
guests gathered for their eighth annual
banquet and business meeting. At 8
O'Clock sharp the different classes were
in their places, and after Rev. Clinton
L. Scott of Philadelphia, Goddard 90,
had invoked a blessing, the banqueters
soon made hasty work of the delicious
| cold victuals which had been prepared
and served for them. Between courses
James Bowers, Goddard %, furnished
piano selections.
Wit, humor and wealth of material
made Principal r. l.. Dawson toast
master which the asseciation will not
soon forget. His introductions were
brief, but witty and entirely appropri-
ate to the varied natures of the speak
ers introduced.
Earle Winters was called upon 10
welcome the graduating class, and he
made his task pleasing as well as in
structiye. Miss Mildred LaBounty,
vice-president of the class of 1921, re-
Piled equally well.
Beginning with the class of 1916 the
Oldest class represented, Mr.. Dawson
called upon a representative from each
class for a toast. Ernest King spoke
for 1916 and Miss Angie Movalli re-
sponded for 1917. For Miss Josephine
Lucchina, speaking for the class of
1918. was the pleasant task of welcom-
ing back to Goddard Miss Bertha NJ.
Bridges, who formerly was an instruc
tor and head of the commercial depart
ment for ten years Mics Lucchina also
welcomed TO the association Mr.. Davi-
son, who recently was made. an honor
ary member of the association. Mario
Barberi, 30, responded with a very
pleasing toast for his class.
The toastmaster's prograt, however,
was not complete until few remarks
were heard from Miss Bridges, the
guest of honor. She expressed her
pleasure in her opportunity to return
for few days to Goddard and to meet
once more with students OF former
years.
Contrary to custom, part Of the grad
ing. Mildred LaBounty gave the class
history; Lessel Steward made known
the clauses Of the class viii, and Miss
Mildred Mackenzie portrayed the vari
GUS members of the class many years
hence in the prophecy.

annual business meeting was called to
order by Earle Winters, IS, in the alb
sence Of President Algot Knutson. A
motion was passed to revise the old
register of members, and for this pur-
pose a committee of three, Lena Seav-
