GOOD WORK EXPECTED IN HIGH SCHOOL MEET 'the trials in the track everin of ihe Porton High :7,43 tool Ittgimental games will he held tomes row in the 1.asi. Newten-st Armory. and kidging le the ee1 -vies there will some exceptionally good work. The senior events tomorrow.

will be the 60-iard low eje arsiyard run. 600-yard run and 1a00-yard run. The intermediate events are 15-yard low hurdles, 220-yard fen and 600-yard run. while for Juniers the 160-yard run will be the only elimination. event.

It is expected that six or seven trial heats 'will be required in the 34)0-yard run. Ryan of Commerce and Downey of English Leh Ore favored to finality in the first he Hayes of Commerce and Nolan of English High are expected to qualify in the second htar. Colvin of Commerce should wia the third heat without much trouble. A new record is expected in the finals of the 600-yard run Saturday, but It is doubtful if those who qualify in the heats tomorrow will be pressed hard enough to break the record. Capt Carl Anderson of Commerce is the favorite in the first heat; Brigham of English High and Pinkham of Commerce are picked to qualify in the second heat, while Corrigan of Dorc'hester and Haggerty of Commerce look good for the third heat, andSandier of English High should win the fourth heat.

It is something new to have the 1000. yard event run in heats, but owing te the large nutetber of entrants it has been decided to do so. Capt Arthur Sullivan of Dorchester and Lundberg of Commerce are likely to finish first and second in the first heat. In the eecond heat Haggerty of Commerce and Edwin Hannon of English High are looked upon as likely qualifiers. while In the third heat Gootner of English High and Brown of Commeree are considered the two leading candidates.

The ni-yard run will bring out a good field from the various schools. Indications point toward James Kelly of Dor. chester winning the final, although he fell in his semifinal heat a year ago and lost. Bayard is anoother Dorchester prospect. Macchia of English High and Belem and McKenna of Commerce may upset the dope.

The 600-yard run for in. termediates is limited to boys 16 years old and first place is likely to be taken by Dolan -of Commerce with Barrows of English High second; Nolan of East Boston and Crafts of Dorchester third and fourth. The 160-yard run for juniors is a mat. ter of speculation. Frank Howlett of English High.

DR WAITE'S WIFE SUFFERED NAUSEA MONDAY NIGHT GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, March 23 Mrs Clara Louise Peck Waite, wifeof Dr Waite, has been ill since Sunday and is confined to her former home here. A friend of Mrs Waite, who was with her on Monday night, eaid that she was suffering from nausea. The friend said that one night last week. before Dr Waite returned to New York, after the supposed burial of Peck's body, he urged his wife to make her will, saying: "It isn't good to let all the money be at the mercy of others." He was very set upon the plan and she promised him that she would make the will before he left.

Shortly after he departed Mrs Waite became ill and declared that she did not believe she would live the year out. The first autopsy was made after the receipt of a mysterious telegram. signed from New York, bv Percy S. Peck, the son. It demanded that the investigation be made irrespective of circumstances.

was received shortly before the body- of Peck arrived from New York and local physicians removed Ole intestines and stomach and sent them to Victor C. Vaughan, dean of the medical department of the University of Michigan. A post card was mailed by Mr Peck on Feb 23 to George M. Matthews. The card reads: "I 'Presume you may be surprised to hear from me, but I have you in mind quite often and I want to let you know that am quite and not only that.

but am taking good care of the physical body. The weather here is not so severe as in Michigan. It lqkits the vicious tendency toward pneumonia that belongs to the Lake Regions.

FOR THE ALLIED ARMIES After a rough experience in the storm Wednesday night, the British steamship Luceric, under charter to the France-Canada Line, came into 'port early today and went to a berth at Mystic Docks. The steamer loaded a cargo of grain and steel at New York for St Nazaire and called here to take on 1100 horses for the Allied Armies in France. On account of the storm the horses intended for the were delayed in transit-from Canada, and the steamer will probably be delayed here until tomorrow night. It was stated at the pier today that the horses would arrive tomorrow and would be driven on board at once.

The steamer loaded nearly 5000 tons of steel and more than 150.000 bushels of grain at New York. The Luceric carries a crew: of 45 Her officers are all British.

PROBLEM OF MODERN WOMEN Reflected In Otis Divorce Case Technical "Snag" on Matter of Jurisdktion, Encountered The whole problem of the modern woman who can earn more than the man, and incidentally the coMpensation of book canvassers, was reflected in the libel of George H. Otis against his wife. Bannie, tried in the Superior Court session this George Otis testified that they were married in Sacramento, Calif, in 1912, had lived there four months, and then three months in Belmont.

He said that while in California his wife had shown diseatisfaction with the way they were ts saying that she had been able to a week as a book can varser, while he was getting only $.:0. This conversation was disallowed by Judge O'Connell as evidence on the ground that it wag a private conversation, not in the presence of a third person. While they were living in Belmont. George Otis testified that he went to North Adams on a business trip, and on his return found that his wife had gone with her father, who had been visiting them, and the furniture crated, except for a couch left for him, on which was a note saying that she had gone and would not return. Witness said he had made attempts to persuade his wife to return and that in a conversation she had said, "Why should return to live with you when 1 can take care of myself?" The case struck a technical "snag" on the matter of jurisdiction, Judge O'Connell exprAssing his doubt whether or not either of the couple had lived long enough in Sifffolk County to justity the libel's being brought there.

He said that he was "satisfied that the man ought to have a divorce on his own testimony if this court had jurisdiction," and he gave the attorney until o'clock this afternoon to produce the necessary evidence to satisfy him on this point. The life of a druggist's wife, living in three rooms back of her husband's drugstore on Dorchester av, was, it appeared by the evidence, too slow for Bessie D. Werner, and so in 1911 she Left her Henry D. Werner, who received his divorce this morning on the grounds of desertion. He testified that, after leaving him, she went on the vaudeville stage in a singing sketch, and for three years toured the United States.

William Page was sued for divorce this morning by his wife Mary. of East Boston. She testified that he was often "fighting that he hit her many times, so as to injure slier seriously; gave her one blow with a piece of iron which gave her a black eyo for six months, and left a very visible scar and lump formation, and generally went on a tear whenever he was intoxicated. which, she said, was most of the time. Sh e.

testified that she had not lived with him since 1911, when he had broken two of her ribs. Decree was granted for cruel and abusive treatment. LOSS FULLY $10,000 Monette's Drug Store In Manchester, Practically DestroyedThree Women Rescued. MANCHESTER, H. March 23 The drug store of Ernest R.

IN WEST BRIDGEWATER WEST BRIDGEWATER. March 23A, 212-story tenement house on North Elm st, known as the Frank Dunbar place, owned by Selectman Orvia F. Kenney, was burned soon after 2 o'clock this morning. The loss was about $3000, with only partial insurance. The house was occupied by Joaquim Perry, Antonio Sousa and Joseph Ca-broil.

The fire evidently originated from an overheated stove and was discovered by Mr Sousa, who aroused the other occupants. The property is about two miles irom the business center and the condition of the roads greatly delayed the firemen.

Senator Martin Hays put up to the Commission the question as to whether or not the word "unpledged" might be used as a designation when It appeared On the nomination paper. The hearing was one of the most spirited the Commission has held in a long time. Among those who attended were: W. W. Lufkin and Jeremiah A.

Desmond. representing the Roosevelt slate; Charles S. Baxter, for the unpledged grouei; Samuel W. Qcorge, author of the Presidential primary laev, enacted by this year's Legislature; Harrison H. Atwood of Dorchester; Herman Hormel, president of the Boston Republican City.

Committee; Rep- resentative Fred 0: Lewis et Lowell. a Roosevelt candidate for district delegate in the 5th District and various other interested persons. Mr Baxter was the first speaker and he agreed to the proposition that a single drawing for delegates-at-large Should determine the position of the alternates on that ticket, a matter that was brought up by the Roosevelt managers and turned over to the commission by Sec of State Langtry. Mr Lufkin then followed and stated that he coincided with Mr Baxter, but suggested that there should be drawings in each of the districts for position of the districts' slates. Samuel W.

George of Haverhill quoted the law on the matter and stated that, inasmuch as its purpose was to provide a method bY which the voters might vote intelligently in the primaries, he believed the single drawing should decide the position of any group all over the Statethe drawing for delegate-at-large determining the position of all the alternates and district delegations and alternates of that group all over the State. Mr Lufkin Objected Mr Lufkin objected to that. he declaring that he did not feel that any committee had the right to agree that the district delegates in Berkshire or Franklin Counties or any other section should sacrifice their chances of drawing first place on the ballot merely because the delegates-at-large had drawn second place in Boston. Mr George contended that the rights of the voters vete paramount to those of the candidate and the fact that the men favorable to a certain policy were known as Group 1 or Group 2 would make it a great deal easier for the man who goes to the polls. Harrison H.

Atwood favored placing all the names in parallel columns, with the alternates arranged below them, but Mr George contended that was not feasible, because it would result in so much confusion that more than 50 of all the ballots cast would be invalidated. A discussion was started by that statement, and Mr George was asked to explain, which he did by presenting a ballot and pointing out the manner in which voters would find his problem more difficult instead of simplified- by the Atwood plan. Deputy Sec of State Boynton agreed with Mr George and the parallel column plan was thrown aside. Decides on One Drawing After More discussion as to details, which Chairman Henry V. Cunningham of the commission questioned the speakers closely, it was announced that the board would rule that the single drawing should- settle the position all the delegates and alternates in the various groups.

Martin Hays, at that point, asked the commission to rule as to whether -or not the word "unpledged" might be used by those candidates whose papers bore that designation. Mr Cunringham said there was no way possible to do so, since the matter was not before the board. Ile explained the manner in which the commission is drawn into controversies, one of which was a request from the Secretary of State. Mr Langtry. who' was present, at once made the request.

The board thereupon announced that since there were c.nly two members present it would be necessary to hold that matter in reserve, since it dealt with a legal question, rather than one of expediency. Het said that as soon as the board could get together a ruling would be made. This occasioned some controversy, Mr Lufkin desiring to snow if the Roosevelt men could use the word "pledged." Mr Cunningham stated that it was not a question of what could be used. "It is a question of the law and what is on the papers," he said. JOHN J.

McCLUSKEY FREED BY BROOKLINE COURT John J. McCluskey, an advertising solicitor, representing the BrEassachusetts State Firemen's Relief Association, who was arrested in Brookline yesterday, charged with attempted larceny by mean of false pretense, was found not guilty by Judge Perkins in the Brookline Municipal Court, and discharged. A Miss Kimball, who lives in Longwood. was a witness in the case this morning. She said some person called her on the telephone and 'said he was chief of the Brookline Fire Department and that a man would shortly call upon her in regard to the Firemen's Relief Association.

MeCluskey, it is said, later called upon Miss Kimball, but he maintains that it eras in connection with legitimate advertising tor a book. He claimed he din not represent himself to be chief of the Fire Department. It developed that Miss Kimball is bard of hearing. The court considered that in view of this fact she might have misunderstood the solicitor, and ordered his discharge. After court this morning Mr MeCluskey said the case devetoped out of a misunderstanding.

He said he was a representative of the relief association and tizat some time ago he called on Chief Johnson and told him he was going to d6 some advertising work in the Iown. BANKRUPTCY PETITION OF H. G. AND MARY F. THOMPSON Howarad S.

About $1,500,000 at Stake According to Mr Swann's theory, this was a plot with about $1,500,000 at stake, land, if the District Attorney and his assistants are right in their deductions.

the murdering was not to have stopped with the putting out of the way of Mr and 'Mrs the aged couple from Michigan. Still another life was to have been disposed of. Mr Swann thinks, after which the person they suspect of being the poisoner would be in complete control of at least half of the fortune. Both Mr and Mrs Peck passed away in the Colosseum Apartments. 435 Rive erside Drive, which is one of the most expensive dwelling places in New York city, an immense building with a semicircular front, at the corner of 116th st.

The deaths occurred while they were visiting the apartment of Dr, and Mrs Arthur Warren Waite, Mrs Waite being their daughter. who was before her marriage Miss Clara Louise Peck. Mrs Waite is now, with her brother, Percy Peck of Grand Rapids, half heir to the' fortune of old Mr I'eck. which is conservatively estimated at $1,5000. Her 'share is to be held in trust for her until is 40 years old.

She now is 27. Mrs Peck died Jan 30, it was announced, of brights disease. Her death was sudden, and unexpected even by the reputable New York physician who attended her for four days before she passed away. Mr Peck pased away on March 12, presumably of heart disease. His death also was unexpected, in spite of the fact that he had been under medical care for a brief time before.

"Criminal Record" of Suspect The last doubt in the caseso far as suspecting the fact of murderwas dissipated yesterday by the following telegram received from Francis X.

If possible do not arrest suspect until I wire that work here is completed.

It is essential to keep matter perfectly secret on account of situation here." Jor Mancuso's, wishes had to be violated because of the news of the investigation which came from Grand Rapids and Chicago. Even the suspect in the case knew he was under suspicion. The accusation put directly to him provoked only laughter. It was apparent this humor was only momentary, fur he since has engaged counsel. Dr Waite and Miss Peck were tnarried on Sept 9 1915, in Grand Rapids.

by Rev A. W. Wishart. About Jan 10 they took up their residence in the Coliseum Apartments, 116th St and Riverside Drive. Soon after they had established themselves they were visited by the bride's mother.

Within a few days she was taken ill. On the night of Jan 30 she died. although her condition the night before indicated she would recover. The certificate of death was signed by Dr William H. Porter of 46 West 43d st.

The cause of death was given as acute nephritis. Expected Peck to Recover Her husband cante to New York a week or so after Mrs Peck's death and made his residence with his daughter and her husband. He suffered with an intestinal trouble, for which Dr Albertus Adair Moore of 121 Madison av prescribed. On the night of March 11 he seemed In good health. A prescription for a soothing medicine was written by Dr Moore while Dr Jacob Cornell of Somer-.

ville, J. kinsman of Peck, and Dr Waite were in the room. Later Dr Moore departed and Dr Cornell went to another room. At 2 o'clock the next morning Peck died. Dr Moore, who at-tended him.

stated in -his certificate he had succumbed to Cardiac anemia, secondary enter colitis and nephritis, endocarditis. "The news of Mr Peck's death gave me a distinct shock," Dr Moore told Dist Atty Swann yesterday. "When I left him on the night of March 11 he seemed strong enough to survive his illness." His body was sent to Grand Rapids without autopsy, Percy Peck, the son. i refused to have it cremated. He had it buried in the family plot.

Dr Waite returned to New York at once. A few days ago an element of doubt crept into the two deaths. The tirst tangible suspicion came through an anonymous telegram to relatives in Grand Rapids, saying the writer had reason to bellevePeck and Mrs Peck had been murdered. Percy Peck had the body of his father' disinterred and the organs were sent to Prof Vaughan of the University of Michigan. He reported there were plentiful evidences of arsenic In the stomach.

It was believed at flrst that the 1 fluid with which the body had been em-1 balmed might have contained arsenic, but the testimony of John S. Potter, the undertaker, whose business is at 1441 Lexington kir, and samples of the fluid 1 dibpelled that impression. 1 it was noted in this first investigation' that different undertakers had been tamed in the cases of Peck and his wife. Also. the attending physician was not the same.

Peck's Friends Come to New York About this time two of Peck's Rev Mr Wishart and Dr L. W. Scholz cable to New York to put their i knowledge of the aged couple at the disposal of Dist Atty Swarm. Miss Mary Peck. sister of the millionaire, came to town also.

The inquiry was in full swing by this time, conducted in three different centersGrand Rapids, Chicago and New York. Last Monday, March 20. Miss Peck had a long talk with Dr Waite. She and the young dentisthe is 2 years oldhave been on friendly terms. She has given him more than .,40.000 to invest for her.

He told- her he was engaged actively in the practice of the profession he learned in the University of Michigan. On Monday Asst Dist Atty Mancuse and Dr Schulte went to Grand Rapids to confirm the autopsy made at the behest of Percy Peck. They learned enough to make Dist Atty Swami fix his attention upon one person. Since that hour the man under suspicion never has been out of the eight of detectives. They have followed him on his walks, in automobiles and have guarded the house in which he slept The suspected one, fully aware of the surveillances made an appeal for the removal of the espionage.

The detectives anticipate little trouble In tracing the arsenic. Because of the rigid regulations governing the sale of the poison, it is impossible for any person to purchase it without the written order of a physician kreown to the druggist. The sales books -of all druggists are now under the scrutiny of the district attorney. According to the District Attorney. Dr Waite has admitted, to him that he was not a registered physician and had never practiced medicine, although many of his friends believed that be was performing operations in various hospitals about tre city.

He took a course in dentistry at the University of Michigan, be told Judge Swann, and later at the University of Glasgow. Scotland. but he has never practiced dentistry either, although he is listed in directories as- "Dr" Waite. Reports from Michigan say that he was a Rhodes scholar from that State, but the oMcial records of the American Rhodes scholars do not contain his name. He told Judge Swann that he had: lived ft a years in South Africa, made there.

and used part of Ahe pro- ceeds for the purchase of two farms ei British East Africa. At present, be he was engaged in no particular occupation. but was studying voice culture at the Y. 6T. C.

A. and foreign languages at the Berlitz School. He is 20 years old. Hie" marriage to Miss Pect last September in Grand Rapids, his family live, was the principal social event of the zeason. He and his wife came to New York early in the Winter and have been living at 435 Riverside Drive since.

John E. Peck was born in Newburg. and went to Grand Rapids more than 60 years ago. He engaged in the retail drug business with his brother, the late Thomas M. Peck.
