Government VIII Replace Supplies

Olympia Wash, May 31.-Gover-
nor Mead today received a letter from
Adjutant General James A. Drain. who
Is in Washington city on official bus
mess, stating that all tents, blankets
and other military equipment belong
ing to the national guard OF Washing
ton and sent by Governor Mead to San
Francisco at the time OF the disaster
there will be replaced by the federal
government with new goods to the
same number.
General Drain writes that he has
Just completed arrangements with
Quartermaster General Humphrey by
which the latter is to order the return
Immediately. One advantage of this Is
that the exchange for the old style
white tents sent to San Francisco, the
state will receive the new style khaki
colored tents and in exchange for the
old blue blankets, the new style khaki
colored blankets will be sent. As a
whole, the national guard is consider
by Governor Mead to have profit
ed by its generosity at the time of the
disaster. The value of the goods to be
exchanged is about $1,000.

Schmitz to Roosevelt

Washington, May 31.-Mayor f. E.
Schmitz, of San Francisco, has writ
ten to President Roosevelt testifying
to the excellent service rendered by
the United States troops during the
fire and earthquake that devastated
the city. On behalf of the stricken
city the mayor extends to the prest-
dent and the nation sincere thanks for
the prompt and loyal action taken to
relieve the suffering incident to the
calamity.
Mayor Schmitz's letter was made
public at the White House today, the
text being as follows:
"San Francisco, May 20, 1906.--My
Dear President 1t was with great
pleasure that received your esteemed
communication of the 18th instant,
relative to my telegram of the 18th
instant. I am pleased to note that
you have taken the matter UP with
the speaker of the house, and hope
that something may be done at this
session Of congress.
"The people of San Francisco have
shown a remarkable courage in the
hours of this great calamity. The de-
termination which each and every one
exhibits to build a better and greater
San francisco speaks we'll for the true
American spirit centered in the breast
of every Californian. Our people know
not what it is to be discouraged and
with Gods help, Mr.. President, within
the next five years we will return to
the nation her greatest seaport on her
western shores.
"In the name of the brave people
whom am proud to represent, 1 ex-
tend to you my sincere gratitude for
the prompt and loyal action that you
have taken in endeavoring to help to
relieve the suffering of our afflicted
people
LET me at this time say word
for the United States troops. Just after
the earthquake. on the morning OF
April IS, 1906, the United States troops
stationed here were put under the con-
troll of the municipal authorities by
General Funston. He acted nobly and
with General Greely, who took charge
few days later, has exemplifted the
standing for which the members or
our army have ever been noted. and
exhibited an ability to cope, under any
and all circumstances, successfully
with great emergencies. I can not
speak In too high praise of the mag
nificent help given the municipal au-
thorities by the United States troops
stationed here. or too highly of the in
defatigable work, and I might say, de-
waited assistance of Major General
Greely and General Funston. Mr..
President as an American citizen.
am proud to be able to certify to their
work, and I am proud that we have
men of such caliber in the ranks OF
the United States. Sincerely yours
"E f. SCHMITZ.
"To the President of the United
States. Theodore Roosevelt"

Weston Badly Damaged.
The town of Weston was damaged
to the extent of about $4,000 by the
high water of yesterday, and individ-
uals were also damaged about the
the same amount.
One large bridge over Wild Horse
creek in Main street was washed away
as well as three smaller bridges. The
water mains were broken and the city
is without water until they are repair
ed. Three small bridges are still
standing and the streets are not badly
washed out, the water being confined
to the creek banks.
Three shops were washed into the
creek by the flood, those of Allen
Garrett, harness shop; ]. NJ. Ashworth,
carpenter, and NJ. A. Baker. paint
shop.
The large mercantile stock of Sim
]. Gully, valued at $4,000, was
moved from the building in the rain
and was badly damaged in the NOV
ing, although the building was not in
jured.
The Pioneers picnic has been called
off on account of the damaged con-
dition of the city. 1t will probably
not be held this season, although
there is sentiment in favor of post
poning 1t and holding it later after re-
pairs have been made.
A heavy rain is reported from all
the district surrounding Weston and
small damage is reported to crops and
gardens in the Weston Mountain dis
trict. Many county bridges in the
mountain districts are washed away
and roads are badly damaged.

ner spoke against the resolution au-
thorizing the purchase of Panama

In the opinion of the president, the
domestic markets do not afford the
same material except at "extortionate
and unreasonable prices"
Senator Rayner spoke against the
resolution on behalf of the Maryland
Steel company. which wants to fur
nish two steel dredges which Secre-
tary Taft proposes to save money on
by buying In Scotland. Senator Ray
ner, while opposing this particular
measure, reiterated his belief in the
democratic principle of buying in the
cheapest markets of the world.
I'm this article" continued Senator
Rayner, "it is said that 100000, 900
will be expended in the construction
of the canal and its equipment The
effect of this resolution will be that
perhaps s200.00O,000 of money will
be wrung as a tribute from the people
to increase the profits of our protected
industries. This resolution closes to
the government OF the United States
every market in the world except the
home market in connection with these
enormous expenditures. We do not
know how the president stands in re-
lation to this matter. II has been
claimed all along that he was in IA
vor of purchasing the material and
equipment for the canal, other things
being equal, in the market where they
could be purchased the cheapest. II
is earnestly hoped that he has not
changed his mind in reference to this
matter and that he is not now either
tacitly or by active participation lend
ing his aid to the passage of this reso'
lution.

combination. 1t is the interest of the

Notwithstanding their respectable
membership that composes it, repre-
sents every monopoly upon the Amer
lean continent that is plundering the
homes of the American people"
Senator Morgan discussed laws put
in force by the president for the gov
ernment of the Canal zone. which he
declared to be an abuse of power.
No member of congress would dare
to introduce such laws. he said. He
mentioned as an instance the provis-
ion permitting the governor to Danish
undesirable persons. This law, he
said, was absolutely necessary to good
government, and the canal zone could
not be controlled without It. Yet, he
said. the president had exceeded his
experience had developed the fact that

existing laws. The affairs Of the zone,
he said, had been placed in the hands
of men who have no boundaries of
power.
Don't like "Extortionate."

The Sword OF Byron.

The sword OF Byron, now in the rooms
OF the Vermont Historical society at the
capitol IN Montpelier, has been made the
subject OF charming poem by Rev.
George w. Patterson of Randolph Center,
the present chaplain of the House OF Rep
resentatives, whose rhythmical tribute APP
peared In recent number OF the Montpel-
Ter Journal.
The sword is OF peculiar interest to Ran
dolph people, because ii was brought from
Greece by jonathan p. Miller, a reformer,
who WAS born in this town In 1877 and
died in Montpelier in 1917. He was edu-
Gated at the University of Vermont and
became a lawyer. In 1924, he went to
Greece as volunteer, and after the siege
and fall OF Missolonghl in April, 1896, lie
returned to Vermont and lectured through
New York and the New England states for
the benefit OF the Greek cause.
In recent interview with representa-
tive of the Boston Post, an aged and inn
poverished woman, Mrs. Eleanor Bishop
Nicholas, living ia Montpelier, states that
after battle, while Mr.. Miller was with
Lord Byron, two Turks approached, car
ryIng two Greeks boys. The Turks were
killed, and the boys were brought by Mr..
Miller to Vermont. One OF the lads, An
astasius Nicholas, claimed ascendency to
the Russian and Greek thrones in state
ment that is still in the hands OF Mrs.
Eleanor Bishop Nicholas, who married for
her second husband, Lucas. son OF Anas-
tasius by Cara r. Langdon, sister of the
late James X. Langdon, Montpelier mill
lionaire.
The sword, drawn by Lord Byron in the
cause OF liberty, found its way over seas
by the hand OF Mr.. Miller to the home of
liberty and the capital OF the sturdy COM
monwealth, whose air is the breath of
freedom.
At the solicitation of the Boston and
New York Greek committee, Col. Miller
went to Greece second time as their gen.
eral agent and distributed several cargoes
of provisions and clothing to the suffering
Greeks, returning to Montpelier in 1927.
He introduced apti-slavery resolutions
into the Vermont legislature in 1888, and
WAS delegate from this state to the
worlds anti slavery convention in London
in 1910. From that date until his death,
he gave a large part OF his time and for
tune to the furtherance OF the anti-slayery
cause.
In the three stanzas quoted below, Mr..
Patterson's poem shows how appropriate
ly the sword of Byron is cherished in YER
mont
OF liberty he sang and stirred
All hearts, and stirs them still;
But, ah, the poet wrote no word
The man dared not fulfill.
He little praised the pomp OF kings,
But envied us as free
And fitting is the fate that brings
His sword across the sea.
Proud England bears the poets name
Whereer her flag is flown.
The man, true freedoms son, we claim;
his falchion is our own
