June §.—According to local authorities, Berkeley Flemming, aged 20, a farmer, confessed here to- night to the murdes of his mother, Mrs. Emma Flemming, aged 45, yester- day, and his brother, Culbertson, ag>d mile 25, July 14, 1910, at Coryville, one north of Ironton. % Following the confession Flemming was taken to his lome. Near the house he ‘poirted out the spot where he said he had buried his mother, The police found her body under 18 inches of dirt. 7The back, of her head had been blown away wita a gun. Iflemming then tooi the officers to a field on the farm and showed whe he had buried his brother. A few feet under the ground a skeleton, the skuil of which had peen broken, was found. Flemming told the police that he shot his brother also. Tonight at police headquarters he talked freely of his alleged crimes. : The investigation which resulted in the confession was begun this morn- ing when Mrs. Flemming was missed by Miss Bessie Stewart, her sister, who resides at the Flemming home. Young Flemming could not be found about the farm and a search showed that $200 had been taken from a trunk Which ‘belonged to_his grandfather. He was found this afternoon in Iron- ton and arrested. At first he denied knowing anything of his mother's whereabouts, put later he is said to have broken down and admitted the killing, Fear that liis mother knew »f the murder of his brother three years ago is given as,the motive for the crime. ot Flemming told the police that he had quarrelled with his brother and then killed him. He said he wrote a letter to his mother signing his dead broth- er’s name and telling her that Culbert- son hag grown tired of home and hal run away. Fearing that his mother suspected that he had iilled the olde. one, he said, he planned to slay her. He waited, he said, until they were alone at home yesterday.

Taft of Yale to forget to- day the things that happened in No- vember and March to make him the junior ex-president . of the United States. Only the lack of the formality that hedges the office, the fact that he. didn’'t have to rise so early -as the guest of W. J. Boardman as he did when he was in the White House, and didn’t struggle for a few hours with the things that a president must take up Sunday or weekday, made it differ- ent from’ scores of days he spent in the four years of his presidency. Attended All Souls Church. Mr. Taft went to Church today at All Souls' Unitavian, wherehe worshipped almost every Sundav while he was president. ~ Most of the members of the congregation,including several sen- ators, a few judges aud other officials, knew him well, and he had to hold a small reception. Charles D. Hilles, his former secretary, was with him, and as they walked back to the Boardman oome scores of ashingtonians recogniz- ed the familiar figure. Chief Justice White joined the ex-president and Mr. Hilles on the way and walked for sev- eral blocks with them. Reception at Country Club Tea.

Tonight Mr. Taft dined at the club. MAN’S BODY FOUND IN ' A CLUMP OF BUSHES. Revolver With Five Exploded Shells Found Near Remains. Plainville, Conn, Junme 8.°~The body of an unidentified man who had ap- parently been dead for fours month was found in a clump of bushes in the rear of the old Ryder race track, on the old Farmington turnpike, this aff- ernoon. A 32 calibre . rvevelver. with five exploded shells in the chamber was found near the body. Medical Exam- iner Wright of New Britain after view- ing the body and giving orders for its removal to an undertaking establish- ment, said unofficially that it was his opinion thot the man had ended his own life. Although the body was bad- 1y decomposed, Mr. Wright théught there were evidences of bullet wounds in the head. The man, who was about middle age, was attired in a black suit and wore a plaid cap. A Waltham watch bearing the number 1070776 was found in his pockets. There were no other marks of identification.

ABOUT 1600 IN LINE Large Turnout of Advocates of Clean Speech at Putnam—Stirring Address- es in Twe Languagés by Bishop Nilan (Special to The Bulletin.) Putnam, June §8.—Catholics from various Windham county towns joined here Sunday afternoon in an impres- sive manifestation in honor of the Holy Name. This part of the state had not previously witnessed such a demonstration in the interest of clean language and against the use of blas- phemy and the magnificent success of the day left a deep impression, Sixteen hundreq members of Holy Name societies and other Catholic or- ganizations in county towns joined in the procession which moved through the principal streets of the city, mak- ing the largest parade that has been seen in this city in many vears. A delightful day brought to Put- nam approximately 3,000 visitors, in addition to those in the parade, and the line of march was thronged with sighiseers, scores of automobiles be- ing parked along the route. So_carefully had the arrangements for the big event been made by the local committee that there was only a very few minutes’ delay in getting the procession underway, the head of the column passing out through Prov- idence street at about ten minutes af- ter three. Within the previous hour all of the visiting organizations had ar- rived, the Connecticut company giving an_excellent trolley service, and Mar- shal Isaac Champeau and his aides were enabled to put into execution their pre-arranged plans for moving the procession on schedule time. Formation of Procession. The marchers paraded to the music of four bands, at intervals in the pro- cession. and very few falled to com- plete the full line of march. At the head of the line was a platoon of po- lice consisting of Officers Carver, Chaffee, McGuire and O'Brien. Fol- lowing came Marshal Isaac Champeau, his aides and the mounted guarq of honor, numbering fifty men. They were at the head of the first division made up of Putnam organizations and mustering a total of 444 men, this in- cluding the Holy Name, St. John Bap- tist, Artisans, A. O. H, K. of C. and Sacred Heart league, the newly organ- ized Catholic band acting as escort. Next in line was the Grosvenordales organizations, with the North Gros- venordale band of 25 men as escort, the societies’ Tepresented - being the Holy Name, St. John . Baptist, Guard of Honor (uniformed), and Sacred Heart league. Marching with this di- vision of the parade was the Holy Name society from Quinebaug. Also included were the West Thompson Holy Name society and the Pomfret Holy Name society, West, Thompson represented by 24 men, Pomfret by 45. The Grosvenordales Holy Name, St. John Baptist and Sacred Heart socie- ties were - represented by 274 mem- bers and the, Guard of honor, 26 mem- bers. ‘Willimantic_delegation was made up of the Holy Name society representa- tives, 40 in number, and by Garde Florimond, 26 men, making the total representation by the visiting . dele- gations above enumerated, 465. Towns South Sent Big Delegations. Towns south of here sent several hundred to take part in the procession. Following the Willimantic dfvision in the procession came the Danielson and town of Plainfield aivisions, St. James' band of Danielson, 20 men, doing es- cort duty. The Dantelson Holy Name and St. John Baptist socleties had 146 men in line. Dayville (Including At- tawaugan, Ballouville and Williams- ville) made a fine showing with 156 merbers of their Holy Name and St. John Baptist societies. Another attractive section was that from the town of Plainfleld, headed by the Moosup band, 20 pieces. This a! vision was led by the Moosup Sacred Heart and Holy Name societies, 140 men, with Christopher Gilligan, of Central Village, marshal. Twenty Boy Scouts, in uniform, from the Sacred Heart parish, Wauregen, marched in the form of a cross and were next in line after the Moosup delegations, the boys receiving much applause at points along the line, though little of such recognition was given to other organizations, the ‘spectators seeming- ly respecting the religious phase of the procession. Wauregan was also represented by 103 members of its Holy Name society and St. Jon's parish of Plainfield by 55 members of its Holy Name society and St. John's parish of field societies included 660 men, mak- ing the total number of visiting: par- aders 1.125. only slightly less than was anticipated would he here.

The woman turned a complete somer- sault, coming down across the legs of Jockey Jones, who had been left prone ang unconscious after the fall of his mount. She struck on her bead and was believed at first that her thick hair had saved her from more than concussion, but a later -examination showed a fracture of the base of the skulll An operation was performed but the case was hopeless from the beginning. Noted for Daring Feats. Miss Davison was noted for her dar- ing feats in behalf of militancy. One of her earlier exploits was to barri- cade herself in a cell and could only be overcome by the warders with the aid of a fire hose. On another occa- glon she cast herself down a flight of stairs in the jail and was seriously injured. She was one of the most per- sistent invaders of the house of com- mons, which she gained at one time by way of the shaft. Her last ex- ploit before the f: 1 Epsom incldent was the assaulting of a Baptist cler- gyman in the belief that he was Chancellor Lioyd-George. Reference to Case at Mestings. The inquest will be held Tuesday. The fumeral will take place in Lom- don and the members of the Women's Political and Social Union will take a prominent part. Speaking with great emotion at a Hyde Park meeting this afternoom, Mrs, Despard said she hoped that the case of Miss Davison would kindle a flame in the souls of men which would end the present awful situation. Miss Davison Haled as Martyr. Miss McGowan, another suffragette leader, said that Miss Davison had given her life to call attention to the wrongs of women. She knew Miss Davison had always held the view that ficed before the women of this country, would get justice. In striking contrast to the meetings of the constitutional soclety in Hyde park this afternoon, which met with only mild heckling, pttempts of the speakers to address the crowd resuit- ber of fights between male bodygnards of the women and the spectators. Women Rushed Off Their Fest. Waiting until the constitutionalists finished. and repeating tho tactics last Sunday, the members of the women's political and secial union raised their flags at several points, but speakers together. At one point the women were rushed off their feet and the police had to escort them from the park. Several arrests were made.
