Work of excavating the Sycamore
street subway was commenced yes
terlay and will be pushed rapidly to
completion.
Contractor B. r. Thistlewood who
is experimenting the contract. re
moved the first shovel fun of dirt OF
the excavation and work was begun
in earnest by as large a force of men
as could work to advantage In thc
space where the excayating is being
done The men are digging en- the
rorth and east sides of the subway
and will make a passage sufficient
for vehicles, allowing travel TO go on
uninterruptedly during the entire
work Because OF the small space in
which to work the men are using
wheelbarrows to take the dirt away
from the excavation.
1t is expected that in a weeks time
if the weather is favorable, the work
will have progressed sufficiently tC
allow a larger force of men to be en-
ployed and Mr.. Thistlewood will
move the men now engaged in filling
the extension ON Holbrook avenue

IN WINDHAM COUNTY.
Rockingham the Only Town to Change
from License to No License,

1 Although the license vote in Wind
( ham county was materially reduced
4 the only town to swing from the IL
/ cense to no license column was Rock
! ingham, burg that never can be ac-
counted for. Brattleboro, Dummerston,
Guilford Putney, Somerset and Whit
ingham all voted yes, Gullford by
majority of nearly so votes which is
an increase over last year. In Dunn
merston the license victory was by the
narrow margin of five votes and il is
said that these have been protested on
the grounds that the voters We're not
legal citizens. 1t is probable. however
that nothing will come of the matter.
There was hot fight in Dummers
ton over the office of town clerk +.
G. Rogers of the west village running
in opposition to Adm f. Miller who
has held the position for many years.
Mr.. Rogers was beaten by a substan-
tial majority. The Italian voters hold
the balance of power in Dummerston,
and it is stated that a determined ef-
fort was made to switch them over to
the no-license track An Italian priest
from Barre spent two days in Dunn
previous to the election, but
his influence did not am

Monday EVENING and ESCAPED

The Willamsville stores of Q. l..
Sherman. II, A. Williams, A. NJ. Mer-
rifield and the John Williams grist
mill were broken into Monday night.
AT each place entrance was made by

the burglar was frightened away from
Sherman's by light in r. H. Put
nams rooms in the ell of the store as
he entered from that side and went
out the other, breaking out light of
glass. Nothing of value was taken
anywhere but a silver watch at the
grist mill. An attempt was made to
break into the safe there At Sher-
mans about ten dollars in the money
drawer was overlooked. Tracks were
discovered in the light snow Tuesday
morning and Constable l.. 0. Morse
and A. j. Morse started in pursuit,
following the tracks in the road to
West Dummerston and from there on
the railroad track to Brattleboro where
all traces were lost.

RoBB CAUSES A SENSATION.
Said He Would Have Been Glad 4
Prosecute Perry Heath.

The senate committee on postoffices
and post roads Wednesday heard AS
slstant Attorney General Charles II
Robb Of the postoffice department. in
advocacy of a bill to prohibit guess
ing contests carried on by newspapers
and circulars, During the course of
/ Mr.. Robb's statement the subject OF
/ the postofiice investigation was re-
ferred TO, Senator Culberson asking If
some men had not been protected by
| the statute of limitations Mr.. Robb
replied that he believed such was the
case. Senator Culberson then asked
/ II Perry S. Heath was not one of
those protected by the statute Mr.
Robb answered in the affirmative, add
ing that on account of the position
which Heath occupied both officially
and politically. he would have been
glad 10 have prosecuted him.
Senator Scott at this juncture de-
clared that Mr. Robb was going out
side his province in making such a
statement. He declared that the post
master general did not authorize him
to make any such statement, and
would disapprove his doing SO. Sena-
tor Scott moved that all reference to
the matter be stricken from the rec
ord. This motion was carried by a
strict party vote. Senators Culberson
and Clay strongly objected to the
TO strike the statement
made by Mr.. Robb from the record
and Senator Clay said he was going |
TO bring the matter UP in the senate, |
but Chairman Penrose ruled that II /
was committee matter. which should |
not go into the senate. Senator Scott |
that Mr.. Robb came before |
the committee as representative of
the postoffice department to explain
he provisions of the anti-lottery bill;
hat all reference to the postoffice in
lestigation was irrelevant and had no
place in the hearing.
Subsequently Mr.. Robb stated that
What he intended to say was that If
