The automobile seems TO be much abused
creature. The records in the coroner's ONCE
for the borough Of Manhattan show that OF
the IT'S deaths resulting from railroad. street
car, horse vehicle and automobile accidents
from Jan / TO July 3 only Is are attributed
to automobiles This is rather remarkable,
considering the 10000 or more motors in use
in the borough and the speed with which
some Of them travel. II also tends to show
that the prejudice found in many quarters
against Automobiles is not entirely justified
The figures show that since Jan. l horse.
propelled vehicles have caused the death Of
four times as many persons as automobiles
and that those other necessary vehicles Of the
tmes-subway elevated and surface cars
were responsible for five times as many
fatalities. The slothful horse cars killed
three, while an ambulance killed one and fire
engines killed two.
The~coroner's records show that from Jan.
/ to April the surface cars killed Is horse
vehicles 1s the subway T. the elevated and
steam railways and automobiles 6. From
April / to July surface cars killed %, horse
vehicles %, the subway 3, steam railroads 6,
the elevated and automobiles 5. During the
present month surface cars have killed 10,
horse vehicles I, steam railroads 3 and auto
mobiles >. These are the actual "runovers'
and do not include deaths resulting from falls
from or being thrown from cars, wagons,
trucks, automobiles etc.

windows lighted during the evenings
of the Valley fair. Hundreds of strang.

the impression they gain by seeing all
places of business dark is not good
one. Moreover, some articles displayed

Governor Bell s belief that the state
cattle commissioners "misinterrupted
the law is no reason why he should
withhold from the people of the state
the attorney general s report on the re-
cent beef investigation. This is mat
ter about which every resident of YER
mont is anxious to know, and now that
|, the political campaign is over it is high
time the kalsomine brush was thrown
away. There is little doubt that the
cattle commissioners 'got theirs y in
the report. Messrs Rich and Terrill
looked anything but cheerful after
their interview with Attorney General
Fits last week. By the way, perhaps
these gentlemen can be persuaded to
make public the report which the gov
ernor sees fit to pigeonhole. Each Of
them has copy if he has not already
destroyed it.

The performance of the fire depart
ment at Tuesday mornings blaze dem
onstrates that something besides new
apparatus is needed to make an effee-
tive fire fighting machine here in Brat
tleboro. Deluge sets and scaling lad
ders will amount to little unless they
are in the hands of men familiar with
their operation, and this familiarity can
only come by long practice Consider
ing the length of time between fires IN
Brattleboro it is not surprising that the
department is bit slow when called
out. Practical tests of the department
every week or two would be of great
benefit in increasing the speed and eff
cheney of the organization.

However one may feel on the local
water question it is unfair to the Chest
nut Hill reservoir company to claim
that the low water pressure shown
Tuesday morning was due to low water
in the reservoir, person at all ia
miliar with the laws of physics knows
that there would have been no more
pressure if the reservoir had been over
flowing. The hydrants at the farther
end of Canal street are so nearly on
the same level with the reservoir that
no pressure is possible. The bailitfs
knew this when the hydrants were put
in, and they were installed simply as
feeders for the steamers.

commandant of the imperial palace,
died al clock Saturday evening in
his villa at Peterhof, near st. Peters
burg, of angina pectoris. Gen. Trepotf,
whose name was indelibly linked with
reaction and oppression in Russia, was
tyrant by inclination, education and
conviction. 1t was he who became the
guiding spirit of the reaction after
Nicholas III. had issued his famous
manifesto in the fall of 1905 promising
the people share in the government.
Holding the position of master of the
palace in league with the court in

store the old regime, be was in posi-

liberal regime,
Gen. Trepoff would have been 81

he had been suffering from heart
affection and asthmatic trouble, and
some time ago was forced to abandon a
large amount of the routine work in

natural causes, but the revolutionists
can at least claim partial responsibility
for his end as his illness was superin-
duced by the constant strain due to
fear of death, which, with
lack of exercise and recreation during
the last two years, wore down his orig
inally superb constitution. He had
grown so nervous of late that recently
when a military attache of continental
power was unexpectedly ushered into
his room Gen Trepoff sprang to his feet
and stood in an attitude of defence;
but when he recognized his visitor he
sank into his chair, almost unnerved.

convention of the Master Butchers as
sociation of the United States, which
was held at Milwaukee, has returned
to London, and in an interview recently

visits to various Chicago meat packing
establishments. Mr.. Hayden says he
made an exhaustive examination of the
various operations, from killing to can
ming. The Strengthening is carried out
in the most humane and scientific man
ner, although it might seem repulsive
to non-practical person. He found
the employees clean in their persons and
the work blocks and floors exceedingly
clean and well kept Summing up his
experience, Mr.. Hayden said 1.-The

COUNTY DIVISION
LAID BY FOR TINE.
RANGE TOWNS SHOW LACK OF
II HARMONY.
Practically All the Principal Ones
Want to Be the Temporary Seat Of
New County to Be Created from st.
Louis-Will Wait While Legislature
, Is Asked for Law. s,.

Eyeleth, Mimi. July 27.-The division Of st.
Louis county will not be attempted this year.
Instead the county divisionists will exert them
selves for the amendment Of the county division
sition to divide can be submitted to the cleo
tors without submitting the designation of
temporary county seat.
This course Of action was decided upon at
the convention of commercial clubs held at
Virginia last night. By a resolution adopted, all
candidates for the legislature whose districts
embrace any part Of st. Louis county viii be
asked to pledge themselves for the amending
of the law, and furthermore, to make the reBo-
luton really effective, the secretary Of the con-
vention was instructed to inform each news
paper in the proposed new county whether the
candidates comply with the request. Under this
plan 1t will be impossible for candidates to
escape going on record.
In short time after the delegates from the
various business bodies and councils filled the
hall it became evident that it would not do
coming fall election. r. #. Berdie, who faith
cred the convention was enthusiastic for divis-
ion at the present time, and to certain ex-
tent fred the convention for action, but ardor
for division soon was usurped by an ill-con-
trolled haste on the part Of all but Hibbing
and Eveleth for the honor Of being named tenn
porary county seat. - m !
On second sober thought, largely due to Judge
Martin Of Virginia, 1t was realized that the
time for accomplishing the division was too
short to insure success The petition for div1s-
ion, 1t was explained, must be fled with the
state: nudtor ninety days before the general
election. This would leave but fifteen days to
circulate the petition and decide upon tenn
porary county seat manifestly requiring swifte,
action than could be made in so large a ter.
ritory. .H$
Sparta was the first to launch it's claims 70,
temporary county seat, and later virginian
who was not even an accredited delegate, howled
for Virginia as the illogical place for the county
seat" This effectually stopped any furthe,
consideration of division at the present time
and. as the next best step, p. 3. Bowling moved
for the resolution, which was adopted before

THIS IS DIFFERENT
Milwaukee Says. Many Are Leaving
- :. Davidson for I.enroot. !

MILWAUKEE, WIS.-The political scenes In
Wisconsin are shifting at a rapid rate Of speed.
Toilette here last week, in which he came out
for Speaker Lenroot Of Superior for governor,
the Davidson Connor club is receiving large num-
bers OF designations Of members who are desert
Ing that they may get into the Lenroot band
wagon. This Is almost exactly contradictory
OF the predictions made by former Governor
Hoard and many other prominent Davidson
men as to the result Of the senator's speech.
The first and most important change from
the Davidson to the Connor bandwagons came
last evening. when Chairman Koehler of the
Davidson club received the resignation Of Treas
urer U. w. Iverson, who has been strong
factor In the ranks of that organization. He
simply declares that he has chosen between
Lenroot and Davidson and accepted the former
1t ts also said that the oratory Of the senator
has brought over Theodore Pulls and A. a.
schwartzburg, members Of the executive COM
mittee of the Davidson Connor club. Edward
Gross. who has charge Of Lenroot's work here
says there are scores Of cases like this, tho not
all the shIfters are 50 prominent as those al
ready mentioned. ,.. g.. =. - -
Nevertheless even some Of the stanchest
friends Of the senator make bold to assert that
the little orator and reformer has made grave
mistake by 'butting in,' as they declare. They
say that in. the end the shifts from the Len
root wagon into the Davidson ranks as the re-
suit Of the speech will more than outbalance
the other changes. ~ s5 .Es.5,.t ~ III, l.s
