BURKE AGAIN RUNNING.
Blacksmith Mayor Of Burlington Once More
A Candidate.

Burlington, Jan. 25:-James E.
Burke, the blacksmith mayor of the
"Queen City of Vermont" is an avowed
candi date for reelection, and already
has started a vigorous campaign
among his friends and followers.
This to him appears to be com
paratively easy task. Mr. Burke be-
lieves himselfto be stronger in the
hearts of his.constituents than he was
year ago. His opponents however,
are of different opinion, at the same
time acknowledging that he is a for
midable candidate.
The labor men last year we're pretty
nearly all united for Mr. Burke. 1t
was the labor men and the license men
that lected him. Today the unions
are not so strong as they were then,
by considerable. There have been
trouble and dissention in the ranks.
This is said to be the case when the
further political aspirations of Burke
are discussedsin the meetings. They
are not so enthusiastic about wanting
him again for mayor.

LICENSE
LAW GRAFT
Scheme by Which the State
Is Worked.
BY INCREASED COSTS
State Won't Make Any Money
for Highways out Of the
New License Law.
BY INCREASED COSTS

Reports from several sections of the
state and especially Washington and
Chittendon counties, show that the
new license law is being worked in
many towns for all that it is worth by
justices and police officers.
The scheme is to have every man ar
rested that shows any symptoms of in
toxication on two or three charges,
intoxication, breach of peace, resisting
an officer or similar complaints.
When he is brought into court he is
tried on only one charge as a rule, and
the other complaints are not pressed,
but the fees are collected just the same
and make a rich harvest for petty Off
GERS.
AS result OF this kind Of business,
as well as the costs in legitimate cases,
it looks as though the state would not
have much to put into the highway
fund to divide among the towns.
Under the law, the city and town
treasurers make quarterly returns to
the state treasurer relative to collec-
tions of license fees and costs and
fines in liquor prosecutions.
The costs of prosecution are, OF
course, paid by the respondents, but if
there is any deficit caused by their ta-
king the alternative sentences, or their
cases being mol pressed and the re-
spondent discharged, the deficit is
made up by the state,
OF the fines and costs collected, one
half goes to the town and one half to
the state. The state then pays back
to the town treasurer all costs not paid
by the respondent. These return pay
ments are much more than the amounts
received and the money comes from
the license fees, one half of which were
paid over to the state when collected.
In this town the state has had to
make up deficiency of in the neigh
borhood of thousand dollars up to
Jan. l, and the proportion of costs to
fines collected is smaller in Benning-
ton, probably, than in any other large
town in the state.
In this town 1920 was collected from
the sale of licenses. OF this, S3660 was
paid into the state treasury and an
equal amount into that of the town.
1t can readily be seen therefore, that
after the deficiencies in the several
towns have been made up, there won't
be much coming back for the highway
fund.
This town will make only what il
got, S336O, less the expenses of the IL
cense commissioners, from the license
fees, while police officers, justices and
witnesses scattered through Vermont
will get the rest.

500 ARRESTS A YEAR
Chief of Police Thinks There
Should Be a Change in
the Plan.

Rutland, Jan 25:- The annual re-
port of the Chief of Police E II Law
son, which was given out tonight, show
that during last year there were over
500 arrests, 439 of which were for in
toxication. Since the license law went
into effect 23S of the persons proseeut-
ed were non residents of this city.
There we're 66 prosecutions of per-
sons who had been committed to the
House of Correction from Burlingt on,
ST., Albans, Barre and other cities
and towns at the House OF Correction
were re-arrested for offences committed
in this city and returned to the House
of Correction.
In speaking of the large number of
nonresident offenders arrested in this
city last year the chief makes the fol-
lowing suggestion:
1t would seem wise to incorporate an
amendment in our present laws govern
ing the sale of liquor at our next leg
islative session providing that those.
outside offenders be returned to the
towns from whence they came and thus.
our city would not be the general
dumping ground for the whole state or
Vermont

Harrisburg as follows:
Two outside men died OF their inju-
ries. But one brought cut of the shaft,

II. F. Hutchinson, who gave out the
lamps to the miners before they went
to work in the pit, said
"At 7:15 o'clock, the time when the
whistles blow and when every one is
supposed to be at work at the mine,
| had given out between 1S0 and 100
lamps"
THAT was one lamp to a manY
"Yes."
did any Of those lamps come back?"
Not one"
There is light in every cottage in
the little hamlet above the pit mouth.
There is still a crowd about the mouth
OF the shaft
Even General Manager George Sheets
of the coal company, who is in charge
of the mine, gives little hope that many
Of the men will be brought to the sur
face. The first ray of hope that any
Of the men had escaped the tremendous
concussion of the explosion came at 6
o'clock at night, when Adolph Gorgis
was brought to the surface still living.
Mr.. Sheets, the manager Of the mine,
said:
The explosion was terrific. Both
cages were blown from the shaft, one
of them a distance of over 200 feet.
Three men at work ON the tipple were
blown 10 the ground, and one of them
is already dead. The other two are
badly hurt, but am told they are rest
Ing easily and may recover.
There are at least $50 men in the
mine, and am afraid that there are a
number more, although there are sew
eral men on the pay roll who did not
report for work"
