THIRTY-EIGHT ELIGIBLES

As of January 1, 1886, 38 3-year- olds were kept eligible, by payment of $250, for the Goshen derby. Out of this number, as usual, the colts outnumbered their feminine rivals by two to one. Twenty-six colts are candidates to date, while only 12 fillies were kept on the eligibility list. Even at this disadvantage, however, the fillies are expected to produce the winner this year.

ing to a first-floor bedroom occu-
pied by Mrs. Elsea and Mrs. Small
wood, he found the two beds in
the room in flames. He rushed
to the bed of his mother, beat
out the flames, then turned to
the bed Of his sister. He said he
believed his sister died in his arms
as he carried her to another room
because her lips were moving as
If trying to speak.
Both Mrs. Elsea and her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Smallwood, had been
shot through the chest.
Shot Gun Found
Mr.. Elsea said he heard the
crackle of more flames in an up
stairs room and rushed there to
find the two young men in flaming
beds. Ebert had been shot through
the head and Akin three times
through the chest and head.
A shot gun had been used by
the slayer, police said. They found
a single barrel gun of this type
on a kitchen table and five dis
charged shotgun shells were found
scattered about the house.
Police said the killer evidently
made his crime q deliberate one,
because it was necessary to reload
the death weapon after each shot
and all four beds occupied by the
victims had been set fire.
Robbery Motive Doubted
Robbery as a possible motive
was doubted by Sheriff Smallwood,
who took charge of the investiga-
ton. He said the purses Of the
two women, containing a small
amount of money and other valu.
ableS, were found on dreSSerS in
the bed room.
An immediate search Of the
community was begun as soon as
word of the crime reached neigh
borS, police believing that the muir
derS were committed only a few
minutes before discovery Of the
bodies and that the killer had not
had time to flee far from the
scene.
Fingerprint experts from Win
chester, Va. were summoned to
examine the shotgun and shells
in hope that identity of the
quadruple slayer can be learned.
Ownership of the shotgun was
not Immediately learned, but it
was reported to be that OF one
Of the slain boys.
The four bodies were removed to
an undertaking establishment here
for examination by medical ex-
pertS.

BY EDWARD B. LOCKETT

With peace efforts virtually
abandoned, union labor today
moved toward it's biggest split
since 1885.
Unless the American Federation
of Labor's executive council
changes its mind, it will on
Wednesday vote to suspend from
the Federation IL rebel" un-
ions which have banded together
in a drive to unionize the steel
industry along mass or industrial
lines.
The rebels" headed by John
L. Lewis, head of the United
Mine Workers, claim a union
membership Of about 100000.
The A. F. Of L. complete mem
bership is only 100000, so the
projected break will shear more
than one-third of the A. F. Of L.
membership away.
George M. Harrison, of Cincin-
natl, one Of the council members,
reported today that all overtures
made to the Lewis forces within
the last four days have been
bluntly turned down.
He indicated that unless the
"rebel' forces enlisted under the
banner of the Committee for
Industrial Organization, make
the next move there will be no
peace pact.
Today the A. F. of T.. council
was in session for the purpose Of
waiting out" the C. I. o. unions
which have been invited to APP
pear and to explain their defiance.
There were originally eight Of
these, and although there are now
IL only the original eight were
invited.
Two days of waiting has shown
the council that four of the eight
unions have no intention Of turn
ing up. Similar results were ex-
pected today and tomorrow
