PEACE WITH HONOR.
Grand Opera Chorus Returss to the
 Fooflights satfsned.

Grand Opera Chorus Returns to the
 Footlishts satisHed.
 NEW YORK. Jan. s.-Mr. Conried's grand opera chorus, ont on strike for some days. has returned to work, un. recognized as union. but successful in their demands for more wages. The strike has gone into history.
 Samuel Gompers is chiefly responsi- ble for the outcome. Immediately after his conference with Mfr. Conried in Washington he telegraphed to Herman Robinson. the local representative of the Federation of Labor, saying that the strike of the chorus was ill timed and inadvisable and forbidding the fed eration to give it sanction. The feder- ation is opposed to any strike that yio- lates a contract. Without any hope of assistance from sympathetic strikes and with the spectacle of an excellent performance of Tristan und Isolde' without their aid confronting them, the chorus decided 10 go back to work.
 This decision was not reached. how ever.. without d pretty definite under standing that many of their demands would be granted. Evidently here, too, the hand of Mir. Gonpers can be de tected. The strikers were taken back individually. not as union. but all or them. even the ringleaders. were taken back. and they get their raise in pay on a compromise basis. They demand ed s25 week when they struck. They will get S20. which is an increase Of B Ia per cent at that. They will also receive extra pay for Sunday work and for rehearsals on days when there is a matinee performance. and their request for sleeping cars will be grant cd when trips are taken out of town by night. This it will be seen that the strike was very far from failure, from the chorus point of view.
 Manager conried expressed himself as much pleased with the outcome. pointing out that he had always stood ready to treat with his chorus as indi' viduals and grant any reasonable de mands. but that he would not recog' nize them az union.

FOR PEACE OR WAR
Moroccan Conference May
 Bring Clash of Arms.
FRANCE AND GERMANY OBSTINATE
VIII Require All ERorts of sDasfshi Italian and Our Delegates te Preserve Peace-GerDan
 Fleet to Sail.

LONDON, Jan. s.-An official state ment published here says that Ger many not only will demand that all the powers shall take part in the execn' tion of reforms in Morocco. but that the work of watching the frontier snail be divided among them. This news realizes the fears expressed by an offi- cial of the foreign office that the Ger, man delegates might insist on regula' tions clashing with what France con sidered her special priyileges-for in, stance, the policing of the frontier.
 If Germany persists in this attitude in the conference it is believed most serious situation will arise, as France is certain to resist and Great Britain will support France The British gov ernment, while believing the confer ence will finally reach satisfactory settlement, realizes that persistence by Germany in her demands will cause IT, ritation which will require all the ef- forts of ine delegates to remove, and in this task 1t expects the support Of the United States. Spain and Italy.
 The French delegates are preparing to start for AIgeciras. and there is evidence of the greatest firmness in their attitude in upholding the French position. the essential feature of which is that France. through her geogaph- ica proximity to Morocco. which is analogous to that of the position of the United States toward Cuba, and through her vast Algerian borders, is justly entitled to have a special and privileged position in Morocco.
 Germany. while yielding much, has never clearly yielded the claim Of France to special position in Moroc- co. This is the vital issue, and the minor questions regarding police. GUS toms. finance and contraband can be adjusted once it is definitely settled whether France has or has not a spe cia land privileged position in Morocco i If the French position is upheld the conference, it is expected. will charge France with the police. customs and other duties. Against this Germany will seek to secure international con trol of the police. the customs and oth CT matters. thus giving all nations, in cluding Germany. the same status ir Morocco as that of France.
 Germany, following the action of thu United States and Great Britain, i' sending squadron to Algeciras France thus far has not ordered squadron to the neighborhood Of thu conference. Three British squadrons comprising the channel, home ant cruiser squadrons. have their rendez vous in Cadiz bay. near Algeciras.

HIT THE KENTUCKY
Battleships Run Aground and
 Collide at New York.
EVANS SQUADRON COT MIXED UP.
Two Loading Warships went Ashore. Alabam ma. Following. Was Swept by Tide Into Kentucky, Dam-
 aging Her Badly.

NEW YORK. Jan. s.-While the bat tleship squadron under command Of Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans was proceeding to sea the battleships Rear sarge and Kentucky ran aground in the lower harbor oh the West bank light.
 The Alabama and Illinois were fol lowing next in line, and before they could alter their course the Alabama collided with the Kentucky, striking her a glsneing blow. The Illinois just got clear of tho tangle and proceeded down the bay. anchoring outside the bar with the flagship Maine.
 The battleships started to sea. with the flagship Maine leading and Admi- ral Evans commanding She threaded her way cautiously through the Mar rows. The kearsarge and Kentucky. following. were swept slightly out Of their course and. being deep in the wa ter with heavy supplies on board and coal bunkers full. ran aground. The sweep of the strong flood tide that was running carried the heavy Alabama irl- to the Kentucky with a crash.
 The Kentncky's starboard propeller was broken. plates in her quarter on that side were stove in and she re ceived other damage. IL was the first cruise. too. of her new commander. Captain F. B. Barry. in charge of a battleshlp.
 A big hole was punched in the Ala bams's bow. a port gun port shutter was ripped on. her plates were dented and the upper edge of her port side forward was bent and twisted. but she was able to continue the cruise.
 The Illinois. which had altered her course as quickly az possible. barely missed eolliding with the two vessels already in trouble. but she swung clear in the swirling tide and kept on her course to join the Maine.
 There was s rapid exchange of sig. nals. the Ala bs ms. which had also beer injured. being ordered to stand by to render assistance 10 the grounded Kesrssree and the grounded and bat tered Kentucky.
 The Alabama remained by to render assistance to the Kentucky and Rear. sarge. and wireless messages were sent for assistance
 The Kearsarge and Kentucky both were foated a, high tide and started for ses. accompanied by the Alabama The Kentucky. however. was ordered back. as she had been damaged above the water line quite badly.

THE FAD FOR
 FENCING @
., AUBREY NEWTON
,copyIight, isoe, by Jos.ph B. Bo~ies.)


 Dear Stan: There's not word of truth in it, as telegraphed you, and don't read the papers If you could see the headlines: What the New Woman's Fad for Fencing Is Leading To-" and the fencers dragged into it, and my picture in fencing clothes oh, don't look at a single paper until I tell you.
 To begin with, why did you leave me? Why did you leave me in the care of your dear little chum2"
 Early Tuesday morning he sent over from the hospital with a note asking me to go with him to see Sherlock Holmes" WeH. we went.
 There's lots of high lights and lots of inky darkness in that piay, and its a play where you want to watch the stage every minute; but right in front of us sat Amy Wilmot. You remem- ber she was the girl who fenced with me in the tournament last spring; the one who was so angry with the fencers for something Crawford said
 
 about a foul thrust. She's gone on the stage, and is to lead in a new company.
 She wore q black hat with three enormous plumes, so that neither Her bert nor I could see at all, and we couldn't change our seats, and she re- fused to take 1t on.
 Finally Herbert wrote on the mar, gin of his programme: HOW much longer are we going to stand it??" And I wrote back: If had pair of scis- BOTS I'd cut them on. We'll, just then the lights were turned down in the house and on the stage, and I felt Herbert lay some thing heavy and cold in my hand-a

THE DEATH OF EDWARDS.
New Haven Mystery as Far From the
 IIght as Ever.

Light as Ever.
 NEW HAVEN. Conn. Jan. S.-The announcement of the discovery of evi- dence pointing to the belief that Charles A. Edwards of New York, the victim of the mysterious murder at the Hitler family homestead, was not shot in the bed where he was found dying is the most interesting development in the case.
 It is now little doubted that the body was placed in the guest chamber bed after the shooting. and the detectives are working on the theory that the man was shot while standing or in some other position where the blood from the wound in the left side of the head would fa;l npon his foot.
 Two bullets have been found imbed- ded in one of the walls of the guest chamber.
 It is said that Judge Charles A. Hil- Ter was chloroformed on the night of the murder and for that reason did not hear the shot that killed Edwards.
 Coroner Mix examined Judge Hitler for several hours concerning his use of tobacco and his conduct on the night of the tragedy.
 The search for the pistol with which the crime was committed still goes on.
 It is understood tbst two headquar- ters detectives have been assigned to the Hitler homestead and that until the inquest is completed Charles A. Hiller will he under as close q guard as is his brother Maxcy.
 A report is in circulation that the coroner will report that Charles A. Ed wards was murdered. but that tbe evi- denee in hand does not show beyond doubt who killed him.

 Nobody saw it done. Amy put her hand to her hat as if she felt it had been josted, but she did not feel that the feathers were gone. We'll, Her bert was enchanted, and the play went on. We saw very well after that. But felt-oh, has Herbert written to you? He insists on treating it all as . joke.
 Finally the play came to an end. Everybody rose to leave the theater. and 1 touched Amy Wilmot on the arm. T am very sorry" I said. but but I cut these of accidentally" !" and handed her the feathers before Herbert could stop me.
 She just stared a moment, and then her hand went up to her hat. l could hear Herbert catch his breath. l can see her face, the bewilderment chang ing into indignation. the--oh. the everything-the people all pouring past us, dropping their programmes, putting on their wraps. laughing and criticising the play.
 Then Herbert put his, oar in and started to take all the blame. but she turned squarely away from him and said 10 me in a voice choking with rage: You shall pay dearly for this little joke. l demand an apology" With all my heart" I said. Il feel worse about this than you do"
 You know very well that am not speaking about the hat she eH- !, claimed. T want you to make your . fencer's friend-you remember whom -retrsct xhat you got him 70 say against my fencing in the tournament 2 to refraet 1t in print"

Windham County reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1901-1906, 1906-11-23
To the Rescue of Thomas.
[Vergennes Enterprise.

In an editorial note the Brattleboro
Reformer of last week says:
"Not a single consignment of trout
from the state has been received in
Windham county this year, and only
1900 fngerlings were received from
that source last year, Matters could
not be worse and might be better if A
new state fish and game commissioner
were appointed by the governor,
This is an unwarranted attack on
the commissioner and entirely un-
called for. The newspapers Of the
state have almost unanimously endorsed
Mr. Thomas, and in doing so, we be
lieve, have voiced the wishes of their
constituents who have any knowledge
of the work done by the department Of
fisheries and game.
Mr.. Thomas has proved himself,
through long service, to be an efficient
officer, always laboring for the best
interests of this important department
and, in our opinion, no man in the
state is so well qualified to fill this of
fee as he.
Had the lion S share Of the product
of the state hatchery been consigned
to the streams of Windham county this
wall probably would never have been
heard. That county already has A
mortgage on good share of the state
and federal offices; can it be they want
the fish and game commissioner!
