that $50 or more senators and rep
resentatives were caught by this al
Turing bait, several business men in
Montpelier who cashed Shannon's per-
sonal checks or advanced him small
sums of money have acknowledged the
fact and have joined the small army of
Shannon's financial mourners. Post
master Bancroft of Montpelier has Ia

case to the department at Washington.

Henry r. Dorr of Rutland Has Per-

Henry r. Dorr of Rutland Has Per-
fected Invention Which Will Revo-
lutienize Fuel Problem.
Henry r. Dorr of Rutland, son OF
Julia c. r. Dorr. has perfected an in
vention for utilizing the immense
quantities of coal dust which have &C
cumulated about the mouths of the
big mines in Pennsylvania. Mr.. Dorr
has been conducting his experiments
the past ten years, and has produced
a binder, which is a mineral product
by means of which the coal dust is
held together in a highly combustible
form. The invention works equally
well with anthracite or bitumlnous
coal. f. s. Alberger, q fuel expert
who has sent the coal mine operators
to Rutland to see Mr.. Dorr, says the
invention will revolutionize the whole
fuel problem and will be worth mil
lions of dollars. There is enough
coal dust on the dumps today in
Pennsylvania to supply the entire
country with fuel for years. The pre-
pared fuel is in the form of cubes.
clean to handle. The cubes burn
freely, do not throw out the gases
common to anthracite coal, and last
longer than coal. The ashes are very
fine and free from clinkers. The
process of manufacture is simple,
3 Negotiations are now under way for
the sale of the invention to the coal
mine operators.
