MR. DAVIS LOSES LEG
RAILROAD YARD FOREMAN HURT
 IN A COLLISION.
Engines Came Together In Montgomery Yards and One of Them DemOi- islaed---0niy One Person
 Injured.

In a collision between Central or Georgia and Seaboard Air Line engines in tho railroad yards at o'clock last night, John W. Davis, yard foreman of the Seaboard Air Line had his right leg crushed so badly that 1t had to be amputated later.
 Just how the accident occurred Will not be known until an official fnvestt- gation is made. The collision occurred at the foot of Lawrence Street where there is network of railroad tracks i. The Seaboard Air Line has a,track lead ing from it's yards in northeast Mont gomery to the freight depot at the cor nor of Perry and Columbus Streets. !. The Central, or Western Railway. has n "Yv leading from the Western yards to a junction with the main line of the Western near the foot of Perry Street: At the foot of Lawrence Street the tracks of the Seaboard and Centrai cross each other.
 A Central yard engine in charge or Engineer V. H. Eden with aIcouple or freightfcars was approaching the sea board Fcrossing about the time that Seaboard yard engine in charge of En- gineer J. F. Weaver had reached the crossing. For some reason neither en- zine stopped and the result was that the Central engine diagonaliy struck the Seaboard engine terrific blow. Mir. Davis, tho yard foreman or tne sea board, was standing on the running hoard of the Seaboard engine and his right leg was mangied in a horrible manner.
 The seaboard engine, No s03, was de- railed while It's tank was torn from the engine and turned completely over. A car of cotton seed that the Seaboaru en- zine was taking to the freight house was knocked off the track, turned over and demolished. The Central engine was not damaged and 1t took only a few moments to get the Seaboard engine on the rails again.
 As quickly as possible Mir. Davis was picked ,fp, an ambulance was called and he was sent to St. Margarets Hos pital where surgeons of the seaboard Line attended him. About S;So O'CLOCK his leg was amputated above the knee. A message from the hospital late last night said that he was resting easy and doing remarkably well.

What If Mary had skipped across the
green? Mary Rogers, we mean, who,
according to the St. Adams Messengers s
revelations. was allowed to work for weeks
in the prison kitchen at Windsor, close
to an unlocked door which led to an
un-fenced lawn. This wasn't back in the
time Of Supt. Oakes, who is still under
the fire of the investigating committee.
1t was after Mary's last reprieve. after
she had opened one lock with scissors
and Verne Rogers had opened another
with an improvised key and their scandal
had become known to the world. One
would naturally suppose that a condemned
murdress, under reprieve. who had in
dulged in one laison while prisoner,
would be kept in close confinement. 1t
is apparently about time to start anew in
the management of the prison, and to put
at its head a man OF character, trained
alike in criminology and institutional
management. The state prison, after a
dose OF moral formaldehyde, should be
put under discipline as strict, at least,
as that maintained at a summer muster
Of the national guard.

PROBING THE NEW YORK LIFE.
President Mccall Takes the Responsibility

President Mccall Takes the Responsibility
for Paying s2s5yooo to Legislative
Agent
President John A. Mccall testifying be-
fore the insurance investigating commit
tee of the New York Legislature on We'd
nesday in defence of contributions of
$50,O00 in each of the last three cam
paingns to the Republican national com
mttee, denied making other political con-
tributidns. He declared that his life
was made weary by Democratic candi-
dates chasing for money in the last cam
paign and that some of the men who
were denouncing contributions for cam
paign funds We're crossing his path at
every step, looking for money. He said
that If the books of Judge Parker, when
he was chairman of the Democratic state
committee, could be shown up ''it would
give you fit. He never rejected dol
lar in the world He would take every
dollar that was brought to him."
Judge Parker, through the newspapers,
made a prompt answer. declaring that the
statement was absolutely false, that he
neither directly nor indirectly solicited
from any corporation any money or valua-
BILE things during the campaign. He said
that he expressly notified and directed the
chairman OF the executive committee
that no money should be received from
corporations.
Mr. Mccall declared emphatically that
he thanked God that Bryan and free sill
yer We're beaten and that he had share
in their defeat.
Much of Mr.. McCalls testimony re-
ferred to payment of $295, 900 to Andrew
Hamilton, who represents the New York
Life in legal matters before every legis-
lature in the United States and Canada.
Money is paid to Mr.. Hamilton when
ever he requests it in large amounts No
attempt is made to audit his accounts and
this system has been in force for years
Mr.. Hamilton has received annually ap-
proximately 800, 900 for fees, in addition
to retainer of $4,000 a year, and in one
suit in which the company recovered
100000 from the state his share was one
third. Mr. Mccall declared that he took
all responsibility for the campaign con-
tributions and for the payments to Mr..
Hamilton.

II. w. Dennison. the ex-Vermonter who
is counsel Of the japanese ENJOYS, says
japan did not insist upon an indemnity,
as her position did not permit Of insis-
tence. He says: IF we had had a fleet in
the Baltic sea or an army before St
Petersburg or at the gates Of Moscow
we might have enjoyed the same advan-
tage that the Germans possessed when
they occupied Paris. They got a big
Indemnity from France merely as an in
ducement to go away. An indemnity, in
international affairs. you know, is not so
much payment for past losses as guar
antee that future losses will be prevented.
But our fleets and armies were many
thousands of miles from Europe and
Russia. We could. it is true, have renew
ed the war and captured Vladivostok and
got, perhaps, in a position to collect an
indemnity, but it would have cost us as
much as the indemnity itself was worth,
not to speak of loss of men," In this
connection It is interesting to note that
the disturbances resulting from dissatis-
faction with the peace terms have sub
sided in Toxic. Secretary Taft explains
that the people in Toxic wished in a
peaceable manner, to protest on the sub
ject but the police authorities Of Toxic
unwisely and ungratefully sought to re-
strain a legitimate popular demonstra-
tion. and so met remonstrance This
resulted in riot and at once placed con-
troll of the movement in the hands Of the
lowest elements.

The grand jury recently in session in
Burlington had rigidity in the spinal
column and no use for silk gloves. 1t
found true bills in 25 out OF 81 cases. It
condemned the county Jail as being in a
shameful condition. The mems depart
ment consists OF a cage, in which are ten
cells, In each OF which are two narrow
hammock beds, one above the other At
the present time there are "a men crowd
ed into the quarters where there are
sleeping accommodations for 90 and as
many as SO men have been there at one
time. Two women and three men are
now occupants OF the women's department
upstairs. In the 10 cells Of both depart
ments SO prisoners have been herded at
one time. There are no conveniences for
the sick, and those young in crime charg-
ed with minor offenses or arrested upon
civil processes are quartered with the
hardened and vicious. In closing its
scathing criticism the grand jury SAYS:
The Jail is so arranged that the sheriff
and his family cannot escape from all
the vile conversation and noises peculiar
to such an institution. Some OF us have
read about how badly prisoners are
treated in Russia and Siberia but we
think that sympathy for misused prison.
ers may well begin at home right in Chit
tenden county. VT. We cannot find words
severe enough to describe the condition
found, but wish to condemn the building,
which is utterly unfit for such a purpose"

The Chinese minister and the under
secretary of foreign affairs at Pekin, who
called on President Roosevelt Monday,
told him that the Chinese government
is about to introduce the American and
European methods of education through
out the empire, and that there have been
appointed four commissioners to travel
through the western world, in order to
study these methods. The hIstory-mak-
ing events of the past few years in the
Orient are likely to hasten the awaken
ing of China, so long delayed but often
predicted.

His Alternative Sentence Would Be
About Ten Years in House Of corree-
tlon.
Newfane, Sept q.
In the Luke White will case OF Whit
inghan, reported last week, the jury re-
turned a verdict establishing the will.
Herbert nlesby Of Grafton was con-
victed of larceny and sentenced to not
more than 3k years nor less than 2h
years in the house of correction.
Charles w White of Bellows Falls, who
stole $3.50 from a barber shop, was con-
victed of larceny and sentenced to not
more than nor less than years in state
prison.
Alonzo Frazier Of Brattleboro-familiar-
ly known as Santiago-who was arrested
two weeks ago, was convicted of Illegally
selling liquor on three counts and SEN
fenced to pay fine of S35e on each count.
or total of $1050 and costs, with the
alternative sentence of three times as
many days In the house of correction as
there are dollars in the fine and costs
This would give Frazier a term of about
10 years

and Lyman II. May, charged with as
sault, were acquitted by the jury.
The last case for jury trial this term
IL ALdb VI llit sldle VS.. Dennis Jones of
Townshend, charged with assault with
intent to kill and murder. 1t appears that
there was bad blood between Jones and
one Lewellen Kent, which led to a fight
June "a. in which Kent was "worsted"
as he claims because he was drunk and
on June 20 Kent, with his brother, George
Kent, and his son, George Kent, went to
Jones's, Lewellen intending to give Jones
a licking. The son George was armed
with a Winchester rifle. Loud and rough
talk followed and the respondents wife
assisted her husband and, as the re-
spondent claims. both he and his wife
were greatly intimidated, but owing to
the fact that he had a scythe when the
men approached, and secured his Win
chester rifle from the house nearby, no
fighting took place and the Kents went
away Lewellen swearing vengeance at
later time
July about dark the Joneses saw a
man standing near their house. in the
pasture, whom they did not know. but
who proved to be young George Kent, and
Mrs. Jones cried out that the Kents were
coming again, and the respondent got his
rifle. whereupon young Kent went across
the lot out of sight, as the Joneses claim,
but to make things safe the respondent
fired seven shots, as his evidence shows
in different direction from that taken
by young Kent. but by some miracle one
shot went through young Kent's coat tail
and through two tin boxes which he had
in his pocket, one containing fish lines
and hooks and the other salve The evil
dence is only partially in at this writing.
