If there exists a stronger argument

senators than the Hartford proceed

Some people think that the recent

have been traded for a seat on the

Central railroad affords a more strik-

ings.

An Unprized Privilege.

The value of the ballot is not held
highly by women when in seven years
time no woman of Montpelier has ex-

for women's suffrage weakens visibly

NORTHERN TEXAS
STORM SWEPT

Dallas, Tex, May 25.-One OF the
most violent storms of the year passed
over northern, northwestern and
northeastern Texas today. The Trinity,
the Red, the Washita and the Sabine
rivers and their tributaries are all
flooded and are doing great damage to
the property along their banks and in
their valleys. The big iron railroad
bridge over the Canadian river, near
Magenta, Texas, is reported swept
away. A report reached here that the
wife and children of a man named
Compton were drowned between Ma
genta and Tascsa. John Canton was
drowned at the Cherokee crossing Of
the Blue river, between Gainesville
end Denison. His wife and two chill
dren we're rescued.
Many dwellings and other buildings
were wrecked in Midlothian, Red Oak,
Boyce and Itasca, a row OF villages
teginning 25 miles southwest of Dallas
and extending a distance of 25 miles.
At Midlothian the damage was the
most severe, nearly a dozen dwellings
being wrecked. No deaths or serious
casualties are reported.
The Christian church at Red Oak
and the Cumberland Presbyterian
church at Boyce we're destroyed. Al
Itasca the cotton mills were unroofed
Six buildings were wrecked at Wood,
Line. At Rockwall, Wallace Scott's gir
end several houses were wrecked
Seven bridges over the Sabine and Its
tributaries are reported swept away
rear Marshall, and one over Pool creel
at Rosebud.
The most severe part of the storm
extended from the Texas Panhandle
down the Red River valley, creating
havoc in the vicinity Of Gainesville
Denison, Paris and Sherman an'
spending its force near Lime Rock
Ark.
The reported destruction of the tow
of Chicota, Texas, is contradicted to
right. The damage done in today
storm will reach into the hundreds o
thousands of dollars.

another declaration from the different

United States Express Co., saying in
effect that the companies involved will
not give point. Notwithstanding
this, Barney Cohen, president of the

advising them to be in readiness for a

Benedict Arnold Relic Found.

Those of us interested in early
American history, whether absorbed
at school or acquired by maturer read
ing, recall Benedict Arnold, his bril-
liancy and treason perhaps more WV
idly than almost any prominent figure
of the Revolution.
The students Of those times recall
that Washington sent him, with 100
soldiers, on the i'll fated expedition to
Quebec in 1175 BY the way of the
Kennebec river and through the for
ests of Maine. Two miles below Gar
diner, in Colburn's yard, his command
halted long enough to construct 200
bateauX with which he proposed to
transport troops and supplies through
the northern waters.
A week ago ]. Rafter and Abbot
Lord Gardiner, business men that fish
the river for sport, brought up in their
great sturgeon net, directly opposite
where the bateaux were built, an an
chor, or grapnel, which is undoubtedly
genuine Arnold relic. The stalk
is some four feet long, and carries
five curved arms welded to its base.
It was evidently fashioned of wrought
iron over an anvil.
These anchors were thrown out
ahead of the bateaux, by which means
they were pulled through rapids and
swift water. For 129 years the anchor
remained in the waters of the Kenne-
bee, now to come to light, mute but
eloquent reminder of the man who be-
trayed his country.-Lewiston Jour
nal.

Chicago, May 25.-President Corne-
Illus p. Shea of the International
Brotherhood of Teamsters, has escaped
the Jail sentence for contempt Of court
in failing to answer certain questions
put to him in the injunction hearing
before Master in Chancery Sherman.
Two of his associate leaders in the
strike were not so fortunate.
United States Judge Kohlsaat heard
the arguments of the opposing counsel
today and took a recess until late In
the afternoon to study again the rec
Crds. At D. m, when the defendants
were once more brought before him,
Judge Kohlsaat ruled that Shea had
answered one of the questions on the
list AS to the others, the judge said
his opinion had been changed by con-
overlooked.
Shea, said the judge, faced the peril
of pending prosec ition (referring to
the indictment by the Cook county
grand jury, and for that reason was
justified in refusing to answer
AS to Bernard Mulligan, president Of
the Express Drivers Union, and j. M.
Donohue, a member of the same body,
Judge Kohlsaat declared that neither
of them were in such danger as would
excuse them from answering the ques-
tions which the court had ruled they
must answer. He therefore sentenced
them to Jail until such time as they
decide to purge themselves Of con-
tempt by answering the questions that
were put to them.
James B. Barry, business agent fol
the express drivers, escaped punish
ment by going into Master Sberman's
court in the morning and answering
definitely the questions put to him.
When Judge Kohlsaat adjourne,
court, President Shea was seized by 6
dozen or more labor men. who were 81
enthusiastic in their joy that they
pearly tore his coat of. He spent {
few minutes in making some sarcastic
sallies at the expense Of Attorney May
er and then returned to the Briggs
House, where he reassumed the dutie
OF leader in general.
Mayor Dunne's call for 1000 NOR,
men to be sworn in as special polic'
did not prove great success today
UP to nightfall only about 200 ha'
been secured, and Sheriff Barrett ii
the same time had - orn in about 10
deputy sheiffs. However, these Off
cials feel easier tonight, and say the,
will go to the limit before bringing tn
Etate troops on the scene.
Chief of Police O'Neil was annoye
this afternoon when three lumber firm
asking for protection refused to sen
out their wagons owing to the fac
that only two patrolmen were to be as
signed to each wagon. Said he: 81
the employers have decided in advanc
that they will not. attempt to NOV
wagons, or do any work until they ge
