COATICOOK EXCITED
. OVER THE OUTLOOK
Thaw Is Temporarily For
gotten in the Light of
New Sensation
Coaticook, P. Q., Sept. 8. Harry K.
Thaw temporarily was forgotten by the
townspeople to-day and all paths led to
" the red brick courthouse, where William
Traverse Jerome had promised to ap
pear this afternoon for a preliminary
hearing on the rharge of gambling.
Judge James McKee, the magistrate
who signed the warrant for Jerome's ar
rest, will have no part in to-day's pro
ceedings, having been superseded by
District Magistrate. Mulvina of Sher
brooke. A. O. Hansom appears for the
- prosecution and Jacob Nicol for the de
fence. Both are prosecutors for the
crown. This strange state of affairs
developed out of Nicol's aiding the New
- York forces in getting Thaw out of -the
Sherbrooke jail and since he lias been
identified with the anti-Thaw interests
be volunteered to defend Jerome, de
claring that the arrest was an outrage.
Milford Aldrich, the complainant
against Jerome, got a leave of absence
from the mill, where he is employed, so
that he could be in court. He said this
morning that he had no sympathy with
Thaw and acted against Jerome because
he considered it to be Ins duty. 1 got
into a little trouble one time for play
ing cards in New Hampshire and this
sort of evens up," be confessed.
Jerome stepped off the train from
Montreal at noon and was driven at once
to the hotel, making no statement. It
was raining and not more thin 40 idlers
were gathered at the station to greet
him. Nowithstanding the open hostility
that hag been shown Jerome, no threat
was heard to-day. The crowd at the
station dispersed quickly after Jerome
drove away.
It w.SiS predicted , that the charge of
gambling might be dismiss!, in that
it specified that Jerome played cards in
the railroad station when as a matter
of fact he was more than 50 feet away
from the station at the time he was al
leged to be gambling. ;.r , .
THAW IS COMFORTABLE.
It la Not Known When He Will Be Re
moved to Montreal.
Coaticook, P. Q., Sept. 8. No word
has come to Coaticook from the depart
ment of the interior at Ottawa as to
when Harry K. Thaw would be taken to
Montreal. The quarters here are com
fortable and the" immigration agents
lpft. in chnrcre fluid nxrain that Thaw
might be held until the lust moment.
"The department does not deBire to
'Stir up any more excitement about the
Thaw case, than is absolutely necessary,"
said T. B. Williams, one of the immigra
tion officers. "There has been enough
already and when Thaw is removed it
will be as quickly as possible."
Thaw's Sunday .was perhaps the most
uneventual day since his arrival in
Canada. He had only two callers, his
stenographer and his local counsel, Dr.
W. L, Shurtleff. Most of the day the
prisoner spent reading about himself in
the newspapers. The officials in charge
volunteered to take him. for a walk in
the open air if he felt he needed ex
ercise, but Thaw declined with thanks.
Two hero-worshipping' girls stood be
neath the barred windows of his room
for half an hour yesterday afternoon
holding aloft bouquets and begging him
to show his face. "We want to sny
we've seen you once, Harry," they cried.
"Just come to the window for a second."
The prisoner refused to show himself.
NO MOVE FOR THAW BAIL.
His Counsel to Await Hearing of Case
in Montreal.
MTihtreal, Sept. 8. No move in the
matter of seeking the liberation of
Harry K. Thaw on bail will be made be
fore the local courts, according to well
informed sources here. His counsel now
that they have brought the whole ques
tion to the attention of the court of
King's bench will content themselves
with awaiting developments in the ordi
nary course.
The whole litigation will resolve it
self into a discussion of the question as
to whether the Canadian immigration
act is or is not constitutional It is con
sidered not unlikely that parliament
eventually will have to intervent direct
ly to back up the constitutionality of
the measure which it passed.
The act's constitutionality was called
in question when it was before the
House of "Commons. One of the leading
members of the Liberal party, who now
occupies a position on the bench, took a
prominent part in denouncing the pro
visions of the measure, basing his oppo
sition on arguments which are advanced
in the Thaw side of the fight in the pres
ent case. !
SUFFERED BAD REVERSES.
Mexican Federals Were Licked by the
Constitutionalists.
Brownsville, Tex., Sept. 8. The Mexi
can federals were heavy losers in recent
battles with constitutionalists, according
to advices received here to-day. At
Tanipoul, the entire garrison of govern
ment troops are reported to have been
killed by conMivtionalists who occupied
the town. - In another fight, 43 of the AO
federal troops engaged were killed, ac-

FISHERMEN MAKE
GRUESOME FIND
Another Part of Body in Hudson River
Mystery Is Brought to
the Surface.
New York, Sept. 8. Another part of
the dismembered body of the young
woman that was found' in the Hudson
river near Cliffside, N. J., last Friday
was picked up yesterday by two fisher
men several miles below Cliffside. That
part of the torso found yesterday was
wrapped in heavy brown paper, tied
with copper wire, and about it was a
strip of pillow cover from the same piece
as that found with the part discovered
on Friday. To the bundle was tied a
piece of ' granite weighing about ten
pounds. A piece of a New York news
paper bearing date of Augcst 31 was
found with the bundle.
Phvsicians who examined the two
parts thus far discovered announced yes
terday that they belonged to the same
bony, that of a young woman less than
20 years old. Scientific examination
disclosed that the woman had been dead
not more than three days.
A long letter addressed to the morgue
in Hoboken, N. J., where the torso is
being hejd, was received yesterday. The
letter is incoherent. On the front of
the envelope is written the name "Dr.
Moser" and on the back appears the
following: "Well, she never listened to
me. The body was skillfully dismem
bered. Dr. Moser knew Ella well."
The letter speaks of '"Isador Simon
and "Ella Simon" and mentions other
names but in an unintelligible way.

HAS INFANTILE PARALYSIS.
Little Son of Mr. and Mr. Max L. Pow
ell of Burlington.
. Burlington, Sept. 8. The first case of
infantiV? paralysis to appear in Burling
ton was diagnosed. Saturday in Maxwell
Powell, son of Mr. and Mrs. Max L.
Powell of South Willard street. The
child has been ill for a week but no
one suspected the dread disease unfit
Saturday. The patient, who Is two and
one-half years of age, is reported better
than he was a few day ago and the
physicians in charge feel assured that
he will recover on account of his ro
bust condition. If he docs not recuper
ate rapidly he will be tiken to Boston
in a few day for treatment by a spe
cialists . ...
The. child became ill about a week
ago and the illness puzzled the physi
cians. , A consultation was held Satur
day and a quarantine was ordered. Mrs.
Powell and some of the servants are
now confined to the house and the child
and a nurse are isoluted in two room.
Infantile paralysis has baffled the
most brilliant medical men in this coun
try for many yesrs. On rare occasion
the child recovers the full ue of ins
body, but" usually , the disease results in
crippling the victim for life. At one
time the stable fly was believed to.be
the transmitter of the germ but late
discoveries have discredited this" theory
and the Investigators are pretty-nearly
back where they .wre- at the beginning.
Hardwh'k has heea the center of the
disease in Termont and. there are at
present reported .by. the. state board rl
health to be 13 cases .there. In adjoin
ing towns there are abouVtw-o more and
outside of that the. only cae known is
that of the Powell child. How he con
tracted the disease Is a mystery as he
has never been anywhere near the in
fected territory. -

TO KILL SELF
Cirillo Palaoro Blew Off His
Chin in the Second
Attempt
CHELSEA FARMER
TERRIBLY INJURED
Had Been Acting Strangely;
and Officer Visited Him
on Saturday
Chelsea, Sept. .8. Cirillo Falaoro, a
farmer residing on the west hill in this
town, shot himself in the head late Sat
urday night, blowing off his. chin. and in
flicting terrible injuries.
It is thought that the man sat down
in a chair and placed the rattzzle of a
double-barreled shotgun under his chin,
after which he reached down -and pulled
the trigger.'. "The first shot went wild,
penetrating the ceiling;-and the. man
then pulled the trigger on the. second
barrel, the charge entering his head be
neath the chin. Two physicians were
summoned in attendance and did all
they could for him, remaining the rest
of the night and yesterday. lo-rtay
it was decided to take the man to the
City hospital in Barre.
Palaoro had been acting strangely, it
is said, and Saturday Deputy Sheriff
Tracy went to Ws farm to take him to
a safe place. - But Mrs. Paloro ( said
her husband seemed to be all right, so
that Deputy Sheriff Tracy k!ft him at
the farm. Palaoro had been an inmate
of the state insane asylum. a.t Water
bury recently and one yeaar ago he
bought the farm on the west hill.
He is a native of Austria and 32 years
of age. His wife and four children lived
with him. Palaoro formerly, waa a resi
dctit of Barre.
News of Palaoro'a attempt on his life
reached this city by telephone early
Sunday morning. Soon after midnight,
J. B. Sanguinetti of North Main street,
a friend of the family, was called to
the telephone by an operator on the
Orange County line," who related some
of the details connected with Palaoro's
deed and asked him to- notify the man's
brothers. Upon learning of the affair,
Henrv and Augustino Palaoro, who live
on Addition place, set, out for Chelsea
with their families. This- niorning a
Chelsea physician got in communication
with the tntv hospital and an ambul
ance from this city wa sent to Chelse.
The Palaoro families will accompany
their relative to Barre late this after
noon. Palaoro first came into loral promi
nence back in the summer of lSll, when
he came tearing out of Seminary stree
one day and boarded a New Hampshire
automobile winch happened to be bowl
ing down North Main street at the tima.
lie hopped on the running board and
made threatening gestures at the" fright
ened passengers .before he wa finally
overpowered and taken in tow by the. po
ice. loiter he waa examined for1 his
sanity and' committed to the -state, hos
pital tn Waterbury. Somewhat , more
than a year ago he wa dischargxyl and
permitted to return to his "family in
Barre. Mis recovery seeming to be com
plete, he became a partner with his
brothers in the granite business, the i
firm now having quarters in Mrs. C. E. i
Bolster's plant on Granite street. Not
long after his return, however, the man
again exhibited peculiar symptoms, so
ms friends say. He was finally persuad
ed to abandon the granite biminnsH and
after urgent pressure from his relatives,
he purchased a small farm two miles
out of Chelsea and moved his family
thereto. - - .
According to reports which have
readied this city, the change seemed
to improve his condition and everything
appeared to be going well until a few
months ago when the family again be
gan to question hk sanity. It was not
thought that his mental aberration would
take such a tragic turn, it is said.

ladies' auxiliary to the Ancient Order
of Hibernians, including three divisions,
which represented Barre, Graniteville
end Montpelier, gathered at Dewey park
iraturday afternoon for their annual out
ing. .As guests of the women, there
were many Hibernians from the three
town and counting youngsters and all
there was a crowd of a round 200 pres
ent when the music for the afternoon
dancing began. In many ways it was
one of the most successful picnic in the
history of the county association of aux
iliaries. Ideal weather conditions pre
vailed and the atmosphere at the park
was- neither too hot nor too cold for
enjoyable dancing. Riley'i orchestra
played during the afternoon and when
the oldsters were not out in the meadow
watching the young people romp they
were Burely to be found in motion them
selves on the floor of the pavilion.
Refreshments there were a-plenty , for
young and old, In the pavilion annex
ladies of the joint committee served
ice cream, cake and beverages of popu
lar .flavor designed to please the palate
of the youngster!) in particular. I hen
too, there were ample supplies of pop
corn, peanuts and cracker-jack, supplier
which looked strangely depleted when
folks began to pick up their duds and
start for homo near even -tide. Althougl
Barre sent the biggest representation

TO TURN GALE BROOK
WATER INTO MAINS
Water Committee Decides To Do So To
morrow, Having Pumped Thousands
of Gallons Into the Bolster
' Reservoir.
To-morrow morning the pumping con
nection between Gale branch on the
Williamstown road and the Bolster res
ervoir will be severed and the Water
from the stream will be diverted to the
city mains. Bolster reservoir has been
used as a storage basin for thousands
of gallons of Gale branch water during
the past few days and with a sizeable
supply conserved at the west hill source
for emergency purposes, the water com
mittec has decided to .flood the city
mains with the branch water with the
idea of lessening the heavy drain on
Orange reservoir, now nearly reduced to
depths that would hardly be deep enough
tor a swimming pool.
Saturday noon the aldermamc com
mittee and the superintendent made an
other -inspection at Orange, ascertaining
that the water had sunk to 13 feet, lo
inches lower than the measurement
mnde 21 hours before. According to the
tables at the water office,' there were
only 7.800,000 gallons in the reservoir
Saturday. Yesterday noon the commit
tee and the 'head of the water depart
ment were again at the reservoir and
the reading showed a total depth of 12
feet 5 inches, a shrinkage of seven, inches
in a period of 24 hours, when all manu
facturing plants in the city, claimed by
many to be the chief consumers of wa
ter, were closed down.
