ClTY'S INVITATION
Little Tea Party, without Tea, in Which
Main Street Pavement Assess
ment Was Dis
cussed.

Out Of the hundred and over owners,
agents, attorneys, servants, legal rep
resentatiyes Or mortgages" interested
in the Main street pavement which was
laid with granite from the Miles build
ing to Depot square on North Main
street last summer, only four responded
to the summons to the hearing in the
city council chambers yesterday after
noon at four o'clock. Not one of these
offered much objection to an assessment
on them for q part payment of the pave
ment, although letter was received
from Austin w. Jones Of Manchester,
N. H., part owner in the Sheplec &
Jones property, protesting against any
assessment on him, calling it "a special
tax
Those who appeared were c. G. Shep.
lee, B. A. Eastman. Frank w. Nichols
and ID. NJ. Miles. OF these Mr. Nichols
signed paper agreeing to pay his as
sessment BY installment Of five years
duration The others asked few ques-
tion and then the street commissioners
adjourned the hearing for one week to
allow Attorney ]. r. Lamson to appear
iii behalf Of "A. II. Sortwell and the Mont
pelier q Wells river railroad. Mr..
Lampson was out Of the state yesteT-
day and unable to appear.
The front foot assessment on the
abutters for this piece Of paving is likely
to be lower than any previously made,
because one or uwo items of expense
had not been included, such as the en-
gineer's cost. If one.half is assessed
as usual on the abutters, ii will prob,
ably be $3042e per front foot, against
S3.1756 and $4.03s4, previously charged

Two of the property owners present
at the hearing, who said they were seek

couldn't see the equality of assessing

ed from the White House Recently

pondence.

Washington, Feb. 21.- Minor Morris
today made public his recent correspond
ence with President Roosevelt, concern
ing the ejectment Of his wife from the
White House. In his letter TO the Presi-
dent, he demanded an apology for the
outrage. Secretary Loeb in his reply
says the president directs him to say
he had had the superintendent of police
make thorough investigation Of the
circumstances connected with the arrest
OF Mrs. Morris, and that he had been
carefully over the report and atfidavits
and had come to the conclusion that the
arrest was justified and that the force
used in making arrest was caused by
the woman's resistance.
Tho president was also satisfied that
the kindcst thing that could be done to
Mr. Morris and her kinfolk would be to
refrain from giving additional publicity
TO the circumstances surrounding the
case.

SUSPICION OF PLOT
WAS DEVELOPED
Only Negligence Of Attorney General
Prevented ProlOngation Of the Mary
Rogers Affair Through Tech
nicalitY.

Bellows Falls, Feb. 2i.--Suspicion OF
a plot to prolong the life Of Mary
Rogers through legal technicality was
brought out yesterday before the special
Investigating committee which is look
ing into the state institutions II de
veloped that but for mere chance Mrs.
Rogers could not have been legally
hanged December s and that some one
either through lack Of Judgment, know
ledge or by pure intent was responsible.
The discovery by Attorney General Fits
that the citation accepted by Prison SUI
perintendent w. S. Lowell OF Windsor
prison, where Mrs. Rogers was confined,
was drawn contrary to the usual and ac-
cepted method and the prompt action
on his part in demanding a second cita-
ton in proper form alone made legal
hanging possible at the date named by
Governor Bell
The investigating committee after a
session at Windsor Monday, where plans
fol- improved sewerage at the prison
were discussed. came here and held what
is probably the last session OF the
Windsor investigating committee, and
with the examination Of one witness at
Rutland today the commissioners re-
port will be made up.
Supt. W. S. Lowell of Windsor prison
was the only important witness exam
ined. He testified in regard to the
returns Of the Mary Rogers case that
after signing those made by Attorney
General Fits, in which il was stated
that Mary Rogers was in solitary con-
inement, the attorneys of Mrs. Rogers,
scared witness by saying he might get
into trouble.
Undecided what TO do, witness said
that he finally went TO Judge Waterman
Of Brattleboro, a distinguished party,
who advised him similarly to her at
torneys. When Fits learned Of it he
had the returns made over in which soli-
tary confinement was changed to close
loouiinement, as ii was against the
statutes TO place her in solitary con
iinement The startling feature was
his testimony III regard TO Mr. Loyelps
accepting service from Mrs. Rogers at.
torneys, which was brought out by the
testimony OF the witness that her at
torneys offered him service Of a cita.
ton, which he accepted, on their state
mcnt that it would cut down the ex-
Ipenses.
Mr., Lowell was not aware Of the ma
ture Of the document which was worded
to the effect that the case Of Mary
Rogers would be entered at the supreme
court the first day Of the term. This
differed from the usual citation in that
instead of 30 days after date il read
the first day of the term. The result
of this would have been that the case
would have been entered then, and when
the necessary time for the motion TO be
made had elapsed, il would have brought
the hearing after the Thanksgiving re.
cess, and decision could not possibly
have been made before December 8, the
date Of execution. This would have
necesstated again reprieying the con.
dcmned woman Attorney General Fitt-
4 discovcred what Mr.. lowell had dors
tin' time. and caused another citation Il
be drawn up The witness said he re-
gretted doing what be did, hut he wa.
not aware OF the serious results
