GROWTH OF
BENNINGTON
What the Canvass for the New
Directory Shows.

r. S. Dillon & Co. have nearly com
pleted their canvass for the Lew Ben.
nington directory, which will be issued
about the first of March.
They find that in the four years
since they got out their last directory
here, that the number Of changes has
been much larger than ordinarily oc-
ours in a town of this size in the same
length of time.
Hundreds of persons and especially
young men have gone away from Ben
nington, but at the same time enough
others have come here so that there
has been an actual increase in popula-
tion and the number of names in the
directory will be considerably larger
than in their previous directory.
This applies to the village only. At
the Center, the growth has been mark
ed and even surprising. All the old
residents yet living are still there,
while new ones are added on every
street.
While North Bennington has not
been completely covered, there is also
an increase there, but in the number
OF names and in the number of fami-
lies.

PROPOSED
BUILDING
Prospects Of Government Giving
Us New POStOffice.

The announcement last week of the
introduction of bill by Congressman
Foster for a new public building for
the Bennington post-otiice, has created
a good deal of interest here and some
people have even begun to wonder
where it ought to be located.
1t is not at all probable that the bill
can be passed at this session Of con
gress, but there is no doubt that Ben
nington needs such a building more
than any other of the larger towns in
Vermont, and if Mr. Foster keeps at it
he will undoubtedly land the appro-
priatiOn in time.
The present post-otfice is much too
small for the business done there.
The floor space for the Office is only
fraction of that provided at Montpel-
Ter, Burlington and Rutland and pro-
badly not over a third of what is had
at Barre and Brattleboro.
Bennington has very few public
buildings compared with other towns
of its size in Vermont and new post
Office building would be a welcome
addition.

CLEARING
ROWELL
Testimony at Hearing Fav-
Orable to Him.
OTHER TWO CONVICTED
Bernard Erskine and H. A. SecIey
Fined 500 Each but Appeal
to Higher Court.

The cases of states VS. Bernard Frs
kline and H. NJ. Seeley, who were
charged with violating the insurance
laws OF the state were heard before
Judge Bates, Monday afternoon and
evening.
The cases have attracted much at
tention all over the state, as we'll as
locally, and there was quite an attend
snce especially of insurance agents.
George NJ. Rowell against whom
like cases are pending in Burlington,
was the principal witness for the state,
He testified that he had known
Seeley for some time as an insurance
solicitor in Burlington.
On visit to Rutland he met Erskine
who made a proposition to him to
solicit accident and health insurance.
Erskine told him that he had made
application for their licenses, that he
would soon have them, and suggested
that they come to Bennington. He
believed that the entire business was
straight, and came here.
While here he in company with the
others visited eleven people, secured
their applications, and he received
from them s5S when he should have
had S66. Some of the applicants for
got to pay the premiums. His COM
missions were to be 80 per cent.
He signed the receipts, at the request
of Erskine, who claimed that he could
not legally do it, as he had not yet Sc
cured his license.
Mr. Rowell told a straight story
which was corroborated by several of
the witnesses that followed. His cross
examination failed to make him con-
tradict himself.
Seele Pike, c. w. Peterson, Joseph
A. O'Donnell, Peter Roy, Rollin Tay-
lor, W. H. Lundergan and Walter
Taylor also testified. 1t was to the
effect that the three men all visited
them together and we're canvassing the
village for insurance and that all were
working together, to secure what busi-
ness they could.
Erskine and Seele testified in their
own behalf They denied that they
had ever solicited person in town to
take a dollars worth of insurance.
Erskine had not received a license to
solicit so he left the entire business to
Rowell and Seeley.
The testimony introduced was en-
tirely against the two men, and Judge
Bates fined them 500 EACH and costs.
As they did not have the funds to
pay they went to Jail Their attorney
c. A. Maurer took an appeal to the
county court, and it is probable that
if brought before that body it will be
tried at the present term.
The like case against Mr. Rowell
was continued until January 2S.
The state was represented by States
Attorney Stakeholder. James K.
Batchelder appeared for Rowell.

MAN HUNT
ENDED
Forger and Jailbreaker Cap
tured at Utica.
CHASED OVER VERMONT
Though Crippled and without
Money He Evaded the Officers
of Three States.

William ]. Reid, a noted forger,
who escaped from the Hampden coun-
ty, Mass, Jail in Springfield on Janu-
airy 8, was arrested at the Central
Hudson station at Utica, yesterday
afternoon by Officer Cannon Of Utica
police force.
While on the way to the police sta
tion, Reid started TO run, but the Off
Ger put out his foot and tripped him.
Deputy Sheriff Wade of Hampden
county, Massachusetts, arrived at Ut
lea at midnight, and positively ieen-
titled Reed. He will be taken back TO-
day, unless il is found necessary to
secure extradition papers.
Reid made one of the most sensa-
tional escapes from jailever recorded.
With key made from piece of acig-
ar box, he unlocked eleven doors in
the Jail, went through several guard
rooms, and by five guards. He has
led the officers lively chase through
Vermont and New York state.
On the l1th, he hired team in Bel
lows Falls, but what has become of it,
the officers do not yet know.
When arrested, Reid had on his per-
son key made from cigar box, a
cash fare check and three saws.

Present Status Of RussO-Ja-
pancse Controversy.
JAPAN CANNOT RECEDE
Without Spelling Her Prestige and
also Losing Both Corea
and Manchuria.

81. PETERSBURG, Jan. 10. - The
following is the present status Of the
negotiations between Russia and Ja-
pan, given on high authority:
Russia recognizes Japan's predomi-
nance in Korea, and Japan recognizes
Russia's special position in Manchuria.
There are two main questions still at
issue-the Russian demand for a neu-
tral zone on the Korean side Of the va
lu river, which Japan met with a pro-
posal. for a similar neutral strip on
the Manchurian side. Japan also asks
for certain guarantees covering Man
churia which Russia thus far has de-
clined to grant. 1t is pointed out, how
ever, that the assurances given a few
days ago by Russia regarding open
ports in Manchuria and respect for
treaty rights is concession on this
point.
Port Arthur advices say that the pub
lie there is strongly in favor OF war.
China's irmness in reoccupying Muk-
den has complicated Russia's arrange
ments for the defense of Manchuria. 1t
doubles the difficulties of guarding the
long line Of communications between
the boundaries and the coast line.
There are about 100000 Russian troops
in Manchuria Half of them are en-
ployed in guarding the railway, which
is 1000 versts long.
The japanese banks are rapidly clos
ing up their accounts in Manchuria and
are stopping business. Japan is seek
in for agents in Manchuria and Korea
to supply the government with infor-
nation of the Russian movements in
view of the hurried departure Of the
japanese residents. The Russian occu-
patton Of Sinmintun, thirty miles west
of Mukden, is now reported to be an
accomplished fact
Mr.. KurinO, the japanese minister
to Russia, has had a special audience
with the car at Tsarskoe Selo.
kilograms from Washington and To-
kyo have cast wet blanket upon the
hopes raised by the imperial words Of
peace.
1t is now an open secret here that the
japanese reply is distinctly negative,
and its extremely courteous tone is only
equaled by the firmness of spirit which
characterizes it.
England's pro-Japanese policy is ex-
citing serious attention in political cir
cles here. 1t is being realized fully to-
day that Russia has not got to do with
Japan so much as with England and
that the AnplO-JaDaupsp alliance ia at
the bottom of all the present trouble.
An echo is now loudly heard of the
utterances Of those farseeing politicians
who at the moment of the Anglo-Jap-
anese alliance announced and proclaim
cd that this political coup meant war
against Russia as destroying the bal
ance of power in the far east.
