Complainant entered into possession; /;
and on Aug l6. 1906, respondents notified
her their intention to make alterations IN
two weeks, and requested her TO select
any room she desired in the same house
and 10 move her furniture. The two
other tenements I'm the house were occu-
pied by Italian families. The complain

respondents turned of the water from

Complainant had not while occupying
the four rooms under the deed been
forced TO pay for the water she used: and
respondents claimed the right 10 compel
her TO take a room with one OF the other

Judge Brown does not believe the agree

that the deed must be constructed most

VERMONT ENDS
71-DAY SESSION

Montpelier Dec. 20.-The biennial
session of the Vermont legislature came
to an end today, when, I'm accordance
with "A resolution previously agreed upon,
final adjournment was taken. No busi-
ness was transacted al today's very brief
session. The legislature has been sitting
for II days, and while II is estimated that
IL has authorized expenditures amounting
10 about 100000 more than any other pre-
vious legislature in this state. IL has pro-
vided means for increasing the revenues
OF the state which are expected to offset
this amount.
A number of important measures be-
came law as the result of this session.
One was that reorganizing the judiciary
system OF the state, creating "A supreme
and a superior court I'm place of the old
superior court, the members OF which also
sat as judges of county courts.
Another bill gave cities and towns the
right TO unite I'm school districts and to
secure superintendents for these districts.
tho state guaranteeing TO pay a certain
amount Of the salary OF each OF these
superintcndents.
Still another new law requires the rail-
roads of the state to abolish one grade
crossing year for every 50 miles OF their
lines. The railroads also will be obliged
To pay additional taxes which will increase
the revenue Of the state about $4,000
year.
Another revenue bill passed was that
taxing interest bearing deposits in ma

was made to the liquor law requiring all
wholesale liquor dealers whether they

WILL NOT Be
DISSOLVED

London, Dec. 2o.-There will be no dis
solution OF parliament as the result of the
action of the house of lords in defeating
the governments education bill AL
though the rejection of this. the main lib
eral measure of the session, Is the most
serious rebuff Sir Henry Campbell Ban
nerman's cabinet has yet suffered, IL is
not regarded as being sufficiently grave to
necessitate an appeal to the country
Whether the government could success
fully appeal to the nation on the educa-
tional bill is the question on which even
many liberals are in great doubt. The
only immediate effect of the step taken
by the upper house, therefore. will be to
give an enormous impetus to the radical
legislation In favor OF curbing the veto
powers of the peers, and 90 furnish the
non-conformists with new gun and am
munition in their fight for the dsestab-
lishment Of the Church of England.
There is today a widespread impression
that a purely secular education bill will
be introduced during the next session OF
parliament, while. no doubt the cabinet
during recess will consider what means
are possible TO prevent the lords from
nullifying prolonged labors In the COM
mons and to debar their veto OF meas
ures passed twice by the lower house.
II is the general view OF politicians that
peers by last nights action have entered
into constitutional struggle embracing
much more than the educational bill The
Liberals promise that there shall he no
cessation OF the fight until the constitu-
tional issue Is settled, as to whether the
Liberal party Is TO be forever checkmated
by the standing committee of the Tory
peers"
King Edward today received the prem
ier az buckingham palace. IL is under
stood that his majesty wished to he fully
informed regarding the cabinets views
on the political situation, as affected by
the education question

cial)-About q dozen applications
have been received by the American
De Forest Wireless Telegraph compa.
ny at its New York office for wireless
apparatus to be used In the coal re-
gions during the strike. On other
similar occasions miners, aroused to
a pitch of desperation, have attacked
and burned breakers and other build
ings and destroyed costly machinery.
preliminary to such attacks they have
cut the telephone and telegraph wires
leaving the point to be attacked with
out g of communication with the
outer world. This would not be pos.
sible with wireless" telegraphy, as,
OF course, there are no wires to be cut.
The plan of the coal operators is to es-
tablish central stations at each group
OF mines, with small wireless plants
and operators at various outlying
points. All points could thus be In
communication with the central sta
ton and with each other and at the
appearance of a mob at any one place,
assistance could speedily be sent. BY
the De Forest system the stations can
not only be in touch with each other
but with the outside world as the De
Forest company has commercial sta.
tons at Philadelphia and New York
as we'll as In a number eof other cities
and works in connection with the gov.
eminent naval stations at Washington
and elsewhere. Should an attack be
made on a breaker thus equipped, the
coal central could be notified and
the operator with one sending could
convey the intelligence to half a dozen
other cities regardless of weather con
ditions or the attempts of the strikers
to interfere. Through the naval sta
ton at Washington, President Roose'
welt would be In constant touch with
the situation and the De Forest com.
mercial station will soon be in opera.
ton here.
Demand Is Too Great.
The only obstacle to the speedy
equipment Of the coal regions with
wireless telegraphy seems to be that
the De Forest company may be unable
to furnish the equipment in time be
cause Of pressure Of orders. A ship
ment was made a few days ago to
India for a dozen stations for the Brit
ish government, which required night
and day work to complete 1t in time
Additional contracts for ocean yes
sells and inland and coast stations, to
gether with a rush order for the Arc
tic regions, make it doubtful if the
coal equipment can be prepared In
time. 1t is understood that II abso
lutely necessary the company will
lend a few stations to one Of the great
coal roads which Is very anxious to
have them. The De Forest comDany
expects also to shortly establish sta
tons Of its own at Lancaster and
Scranton as we'll as other Pennsylva
mia points. Through them and ths
coal stations the press and public will
receive the latest information Of the
progress Of the strike. Wireless bull
letins" are already published severa
times daily in half a dozen cities.
