making THIS announcement, which
follows anonymous reports to him
that Searles was poisoned, said he
had no evidence at present to war
rant belief that such death was
due to poison or violence.
DIR. Victor A. Reed of this city,
who is assistant medical examiner
IN this district, attended Mr.. Scar
les during his last illness, with the
exception of few days when he
was on his vacation. He says that
at one period in Mr.. Searles' i'll
ness symptoms were observed
which were compatible with ar
senlc poisoning. He did not think
1t was arsenic poisoning, however,
at the time, and even now says he
does not believe it was, although
doctors may easily be deceived by
symptoms in which arsenic figures.
He has expressed himself as be-
lrevlng that an autopsy would be
interesting"
The body of Searles is inferred
in a tomb on his estate in Meth
uen. The principal beneficiary of
his millions was Arthur 7. Walker
of New York who had assisted him
in legal matters. The estate had
been variously estimated to be
worth $14,000,000 to $4,000, 900.

ACADEMY SCORES
VICTORY OVER
q MONTPELIER
Capital City High School
Succumbs to Z to 0
Count

| The St. Johnsbury Academy
Saturday afternoon was the SC enc
of a far different struggle than
that staged on the athletic field
of Lyndon Institute seven days
before. Where they were over
whelmed by a SO to 0 score on
that occasion, the local gridiron
warriors evened up matters in the
official records by trlumphlne
over the Montpelier High school
eleven" And it was q we' earn
ed triumph. The count of 7 to 0
bears mute evidence of the close
ness of the contest, the loyal root
ers of both sides being kept at a
fever pitch of excitemc..t through
out the entire four periods of play.
While the whole team played a
far better brand of foot ball than
was shown against the Lyndon
Institute team the week before,
two individuals were the prime
movers in accomplishing victory
on Saturday. Captain Darling ana
"Stub" Harvey, both veterans,
carried off about all the honoro
there were to be had. The former
scored the single touch down of
the fracas and the latter made 4
pretty kick of the goal. In addition
to making these points the two
members of the back field figured
prominently in everything that
went on before the large assem-
blage of fans.
After playing in whirlwind fash
ion during the entire game Har-
vey brought the game to a fitting
close by intercepting a perfectly
thrown forward pass just as the
whistle blew. Had the game gone
on he undoubtedly would have
made a material gain. This clever
piece of work was Just one of the
thrills which he, furnished in the
course of the contest
William McBain, who is playing
a strong game in the full position
for the Academy, made himself
conspicuous often but his work
was overshadowed by his afore-
mentioned team mates. Pike show

STOLEN CAR
IS RECOVERED
BY MIR. WRIGHT
Four Persons Held In
Connection With It's
Disappearance

A bit of quiet sleuthing on the
part of William A. Wright, man
ager of the Corner Garage, result
ed early Sunday evening in the
recovery of an Oakland touring
car, the property of Edward Len
ton of st. Johnsbury, which dis
appeared from the Corner Garage
on Sunday evening, September 25.
Following the positive identified
ton of the automobile, which was
found abandoned on Cross street,
between Pearl and Railroad strets,
Mr.. Wright Immediately notified
Sheriff Wilbur H. Worthen and
after an investigation, he caused
the detention of Carl Deering, a
salesman, employed by Mr.. Wright
e. w. Nealand and Mrs. Patricia
Mcclure, all of this village. They
are in Caledonia County Jail await
ing action by States Attorney
James w. Campbell. In addition
to the detentions here Sheriff Wor-
then telephoned to the chief of
police of St. Adams and ordered
the holding there of Mrs. Grace
Campbell of Burlington.
The daring theft of the machine
week ago had stirred the town
and caused owners of cars to
take precautions against the theft
of their machines. A thorough
search of the village by the Off
cials had failed to reveal a single
clue to the missing machine. Aut-
horities Of nearly every town in
New England had been notified of
the theft and requested to keep
a sharp lookout for the apprehen-
sion of the machine
Returning home from an all day
motor trip with friends about z
o'clock Sunday evening, Mr..
Wright drove past an Oakland car
on Cross street, which attracted
his attention. Noticing, however,
that the car was beshpattered with
mud, it failed to show any great
resemblance to the missing auto
mobile.

garage to put up his machine he

PROSPECTS OF AUTO
BUSINESS IN 1921 IS
SAID TO BE BRIGHT

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. S.-The banks
have been the saving factor in the
present readjustment which the auto.
mobile industry is undergoing, accord
ing to C. w. Nash. president of Nash
Motors company. Milwaukee. who talk
ed before automobile manufacturers
at a dinner in the Detroit Athletic
club last night.
On prospects for the future Mr..
Nash called himself "a conservative
optimist." He says 1921 will be a
good year, but a renewal of demand
must be gradual, steady and per-
manent.
Says Bankers Saved Situation.
Contrary to the view taken by
many business men," Mr.. Nash assert
ed, Il take the position that the bank
ers have saved the situation for both
the manufacturer ard the deI;er. I
may be alone In that opinion, but had
the bankers not told these dealers and
distributors last June that credit
would be limited. to bring us back to
a sane level of business, dread to
think of what might have happened
to the automobile business.
ut is not good business for us to
think that we are going to wake up
some morning within the next two or
three weeks and find orders piling in
again as they were at this time last
year.
Good Year in 1921.
The year 1921 will be a good year,
but it will be nothing like the last two
years. From now on the factories
have got to make the cars and the
dealers and distributors have got to
sell them. The business hasn't devel-
oped any good statesmen in the last
twenty-four months, but now it will
have to produce them because we are
back to real, hard business competi-
ton.
THE automobile shows will stimu-
late a certain amount of retailing for
the next month, but / do not look for
any real activity until March, when
the spring sun begins to shine. When
that time comes the dealers and the
manufacturers must cooperate and CO.
operate more closely than ever before
to bring the business back into it's real
stride"
