ment.
Fusion was effected at Burlington yes
terday, the test vote in the Democratic
convention being 254-154 in favor of join
ing fortunes with Clement. The COM
bination ticket is as follows:

The Democratic convention was called
to order at Ills by Emory S. Harris of
Bennington. " A. Bullard of Burlington
was elected chairman and II. c. Shurtleff
of Montpelier secretary. c. w. Melcher
of Barre moved that committee Of five
be appointed to confer with a committee
from the Independent convention upon
the question of fusion, and IL fusion was
found advisable to report nominees for
office on fusion state ticket.
Eli II. Porter of Wilmington moved an
amendment that the committee be in
structed not to consider any name but
that for a straight Democrat for first
place on the ticket. 1t was on this
amendment that the test vote was taken.
The question was hotly debated. Among
those who opposed fusion were T. w.
Maloney Of Rutland, c. II. Davenport
Brattleboro and James e Burke of Bur
lington Mr. Maloney favored fusion on
county and legislative tickets. James Nc
Guirk of Mt. Holly created a sensation
by an impassioned attack on T. w.
Maloney, accusing him of accepting
Proctor money, but Mr.. Maloney denied
the charge in a very effective reply.
C. w. Melcher of Barre. II. G. Cum
mlngs of Richford. ]. r. Kelley OF Bur-
lington. c. II. Davenport of Brattleboro
and Emory S. Harris of Bennington were
the committee to confer with the Clement

The Burlington News seriously consid-
ers the county OF Cumberland scheme, of
which the Bellows Falls Times is god
father, but holds out no encouragement
TO the Missionaries who think 1t would be
easy to carve a slice out of wiudham and
Windsor counties and join the two pieces
together under an ancient name The
News says: THE conservatism Of Vermont
in regard to town and county lines and
arrangements is practically invincible. 1t
took years and years Of agitation and ef-
fort to move the Orleans county seat to
town on the railroad. and We would like
to suggest 10 the Bellows Falls contem-
porary that Newfane is still the shire
town OF Windham county. There Is a lit
tie triangle OF Orleans county which runs
down into Caledonia county, with the re-
suit that the people OF the triangle have
to go TO st. Johnsbury about Is miles,
and thence TO Newport, about 40 miles,
to do their court business; and yet II has
been found, after years OF endeavor, alb
solutely impossible to induce the legisla-
turc TO annex this triengle TO Caledonia
county. And scores OF similar instances
might be cited. We fancy that it will be
a long day before a judge OF probate and
a sheriff OF Cumberland county will be
nominated"

The Independent convention was open
ed at 11.15 in City hall and s. G. Beatty
of Burlington, G. II. Grimm of Rutland
and s. NJ. Crawford of Bennington were
elected committee for conference with
the Democrats. ]. S. Carter of Rutland
presented the name of p w. Clement for
governor and he was nominated by ac-
clamation and E. ]. Hall of Bennington
was nominated for auditor.
When the two conventions coalesced in
Strong theatre Mayor ]. e. Burke of
Burlington. C. L. Mcmahon of Stowe and
c. w. Melcher of Barre were the commit
tee to escort P. w. Clement into the con-
Vention. Mr.. Clement made an extended
speech attacking ring rule in Vermont.
with charges of mismanagement In state
institutions and a long statement re-
garding the Proctor connections with the
handling of marble at the house of cor
rection. The Democratic platform is a
long document which treats Of the un-
fair representation in the legislature, the
unfair treatment of towns and cities in
the matter of taxation; II advocates per-
manent work on state highways, endorses
the license, local-option law, demands the
adjustment of the fee system, requests
the repeal OF the caucus law, urges the
passage OF an employers liability act
and urges the repeal of the capital pun
ishment law. 1t says that salaries OF
state officials and state expenses have
increased regularly.
The Independent resolutions charge the
Republican machine with gross misman-
agement and extravaganza in the con-
duct of public affairs. with criminal neg
lect in the control of the state prison
and house of correction and devotes much
attention to the increase in state eX-
penses.

President Roosevelt announced Friday
through Attorney General Moody that
the federal government will take up at
once the criminal prosecution OF the
Standard OIL company. Every kind of a
case that can be made against the Stand
ard will be brought to trial, and wherever
the federal law can get grip on the oil
monopoly 1t will be hailed into court. 1t
developed that this was the subject dis
cussed at the mysterious night meeting
Of the cabinet Wednesday. when all the
lawyers among the Presidents advisers
were congregated with him at the White
House for several hours. 1t was the sub
ject again Friday at the regular cabinet
meeting, and for three hours was con-
sidered in all its phases.

Agreement Reached Yesterday Afternoon Between Mr. CrOwe and
Members of the Village Water Board
SUBJECT BEFORE VILLAGE MEETING TONIGHT
In Case Disagreement Judge Tyler Will Select the AbtraOs-
New Legislation Will Be Secured on Behalf of Village

The situation relative to municipal
ownership of the water system had a
sudden and complete clearing up yester-
day afternoon at a conference between
Mr.. Crowell and a committee of the
water board, consisting of Messrs. Gal
win, Brown and Roess. 1t seems there had
been some misunderstanding between the
water board and Mr.. Crowell as to just
where the negotiations were left off be-
tween the parties for the purchase of
the Crowell system and especially as to
the question OF arbitration. Members Of
the water board suggested to friends of
Mr.. Crowell that perhaps there was not
clear understanding and it might be well
to have a conference. To this Mr..
Crowell readily assented and it was ar
ranged that he and his counsel meet a
committee of the water board and coun-
sci at the probate office yesterday after
noon At the meeting several sugges-
tIons looking to arbitration were made
and plan was readily agreed upon. The
tentative agreement between this COM
mittee and Mr.. Crowell was drawn up
and submitted to the full water board
last evening and adopted The agree
ment is as follows:
AT a conference between Messrs. CAL
win. Brown and Roess of the village
water board, with counsel, on the one
part, and George E. Crowell, with coun-
sci, on the other part, at the probate
Office, in Brattleboro, June g. 1906, the
following proposition for arbitration for
fixing the price to be paid by the village
for the Crowell water system was talked
over and tentatively agreed to by Mr..
| Crowell and said representatives of the
water board, subject to the approval of
the full water board or at least a ma
| jority.
That the village agree with Mr.. Crowell

Senator Proctor In Favor of Placing Cost
Of Inspection on Packers.


The Senate and House conferees are at
swords points on the question of the cost
of the proposed meat inspection. The
situation was unmasked in the Senate
Wednesday by Senator Proctor. The
Springfield Republicans special despatch
says;
Senator Proctor took the bull by the
horns. To the obvious distress of Repre-
sentative Wardsworth, who was seated in
the rear of the Senate, the rugged old SEN
ator from Vermont got up and announced
that the conferees on the agricultural bill
were unable to agree because the confer
ees from the House absolutely refused TO
recede from their position that the cost of
the meat inspection should be borne by
the government. He added that the House
conferees also refused to agree to report
a disagreement, and had said they would
rather 'see the bill fail" than yield their
point This serious disclosure, which will
tend to weaken the House conferees, i'm
mediately brought Senator Hopkins TO his
feet in an effort to reprimand Senator
Proctor for his alleged breach in quoting
the conferees of the other body Senator
Proctor never seemed a better senator
for the old Green Mountain state than
when he unflinchingly replied in his deep
bass voice that ii was too late to repri
mand him, that his words were already in
the Record, and that by them he would
stand
'In making his announcement Senator
Proctor explained compromise which he
had offered but which had been rejected.
This compromise was that the direct cost
Of the inspection should be borne by the
government, but that the government
should be partially reimbursed by a tax
Of five cents on each head of cattle and
three cents on each sheep so inspected,
which would amount to somewhat more
than half the expense OF inspection"
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1906-06-29

for the purchase of his water system, the
price to be paid therefor to be fixed by a
board of arbitrators, who are to examine
the property, hear the parties and evil
dence and consider all matters bearing
upon what ought to be paid by the village
for the Crowell system, and that the
price fixed thereupon by said board of
arbitrators be paid by the village and
accepted by Mr.. Crowell and the water
systems he controls as final and full pay
ment, it being understood that Mr..
Crowell controls the Chestnut Hill Reser-
voir company and the Sunset Lake Wa
ter company, and said corporations are to
be parties to the agreement to arbitrate.
Time taken for evidence not to exceed
two weeks by each party.
The board of arbitrators shall consist
of three men to be agreed upon by the
parties, If they can agree, and If the
parties cannot agree, said board shall be
appointed by Hon. James M. Tyler.
When the price fixed upon by said
board of arbitrators, as above provided,
is paid by said village said Crowell shall
cause to be transferred to said village all
the property, franchise and rights of the
Chestnut Hill Reservoir company and the
Sunset Lake Water company.
The water board met in the probate Of
fee last evening to consider the tenta-
tive agreement. 1t was decided that in
view of the great Importance of the sub
ject and of the fact that special viii
lage meeting had been called for tonight
it would be better to submit the question
to the meeting and to get an expression
from the voters, whether they approve
or not. The arbitration is not expected
to be taken up until after new legislation
is secured from the legislature, but all
parties will agree on the legislation that
should be secured to give the village the
authority to make this contract of arbi-
tration and authority to issue bonds
enough to meet the price fixed.
