Daughters Future a Question.
The future of Dorothy. 9-year-old
daughter of the Ruths, remained a
question today, with the Woodfords,
the family of Mrs. Ruth, reiterating
their intention of adopting the child

home run king was indignant at any
such plan. From sources close to the
Woodfords came other runlors of pos

a message from Lou Gehrig, his team

|PROBE HALTS PLANS
FOR RUTH FUNERAL
Doctor Requests Body to Use
in Second Autopsy and
Clear Doubt.

BY the Associated Press.
WATERFOWL, Mass. January 10
The funeral of Mrs. George Herman
Ruth was subject to delay today be-
cause of a second autopsy.
DR.. George B. McGrath, medical ex-
aminer of Suffolk County, after making
a chemical analysis of the vital organs,
requested the body in order to make a
more thorough examination. Arrange
ments were made for the return OF
Mrs. Ruth's body to an undertaker's
rooms today after DR.. McGrathS re-
port, but funeral plans were uncertain.
Mrs. Ruth died in a fire last Friday
at the home Of DR.. Edward H. Kinder,
Boston dentist.
The first autopsy was PERFORMED by
Medical Examiner George L. West OF
Middlesex County when it was sup
posed that the dead woman was Mrs
Helen Kinder, as Mrs. Ruth had been
known to neighbors for more than a
year.
Second Autopsy Bar to Error.
Medical Examiner West reported that
death was due to the fire, and District
Attorney Robert T. Bushnell has twice
declared that he was convinced that
Mrs. Ruth died from accidental causes.
He said he ordered the second autopsy
in order that there might be no posi-
bility of error.
Babe Ruth, who has remained here
awaiting the funeral, denied that he

Hundreds Gather For
Literary Field Meet;
Measles Bar Durant

Exactly $50 boys and girls from the
of the county were in Lexington Satur-
day, March %, to take the examinations
offered to contestants for Field Day.
This was considerably more than were
here to take similar examinations last
year, proof of the popularity of the
grammar school Field Day, states Supt.
P. H. Williams.
Had those in he county who oppose
Field Day been here Saturday, all
the opposition would have been dis
PEELED. For it would be hard to sum
mon more enthusiastic crowd of boys
and girls than that which tested its
literary ability Saturday. 1t was a
great day for the smaller school chill
dren. They met together, learned each
other, crossed lances in their literarly
talents and comparably measured then
learnings.
Every school in the county was rerre
sented except Durant and Ebenezer
Durant's failure to have representatives
was due to the fact that they are hav-
ing an epidemic of measles. Mr.. Ben
nett of Durant had planned to send 10
contestants for the events. We know
that these prospective contestants were
disappointed; yet we appreciate Mr. Ben
nett's unselfishness in not allowing
them to attend, thereby eliminating the
possibility of a county wide measles
epidemic.

superintendent of police, from William
Urban. Justice Of the peace OF Amber.
Mai. Pratt has been conducting an
Investigation to determine whether
smith is q member of the force as he
is said to have claimed when arrested.
The roster of the eighth precinct con-
tains the name Of Herbert NJ. Smith,
who is on leave Of absence.
Gives His Version.
Justice of the Peace Urban, in re-
Spouse to a telegram from Maj. Pratt,
gave his version of the shooting at the
Cadwalader home, and explained that
1t was done not by Smith, but his
brother, who used the service revolver
which the officer had left Oh table.
Herbert took the blame to shield his
brother, according to Urban, and as q
result the charges against him were dis
missed.
. II the investigation should reveal that
Smith Is q member of the Washington
police force, Urban said he would COM
mend the department for having an Of
ficer who conducted himself as well as
the man who had been arrested in AM
bier.
Mai. Pratt, however, has not closed
the investigation on the basis of the
report Of the justice OF the peace. He
said he could not understand where
Herbert's brother procured enough
Gated in reports from Amber since the
revolver of the Washington policeman
will fire only six shots without reload
ing. The police of Amber have been
asked for a report.
