The special grand jury which has
concerned itself with the conduct of
the insurance business in New York
county has concluded its investigation
of the Metropolitan Life Insurance
company and has returned 10 in
dictments against the company's presi'
dent, John R. Hegeman. Seven of the
indictments charge forgery in the third
degree, while the. other three allege
perjury. All are based on what have
come to be known as "year-end trans
actions' These consisted of certain
changes in the company's books effect
ed just prior to the submission of the
annual report to the state insurance
department and which, it is alleged,
were designed to place the company in
a more favorable light than the facts
warranted.

The fact that the remainder of the
April term of Windham county court
is to be held in Brattleboro might look
TO some of the residents of the West
river valley as an entering wedge in
the movement to change the Windham
county seat were it not for the fact
that the expenditure of several thou
sand dollars on the court house at New
fame is to begin at once. However, the
West river valley-ites need not worry
no matter what rumors on this subject
appear from time to time. Political
assistance would be necessary to bring
about such a change and The Meddler
knows of no living politician in the
county who would dare risk his future
by championing any such move.

A long step toward the establishment
of boulevard leading direct from
Boston to the White Mountain region
will be taken during the present sea
son in the construction of the Merrl-
mac valley trunk line, socalled, a
highway authorized by the last session
of the New Hampshire Legislature. A
broad highway extending from the
Massachusetts, line in the city of
Nashua to the upper end of the city
OF Laconia on Lake Winnipesaukeo
will be constructed jointly by the
state and the towns through which the
highway passes. 1t will be about 20
miles long and will pass through
Nashua, Manchester, Concord, Frank
lin, Laconia, Merrimac, Bedford, Hook
set, Pembroke, Boscawen, Tilton and
Belmont. Vermonters who believe
that this state has not yet come to
realizing sense of the value of perma-
nent highways hope that the example
set by the state of New Hampshire
will prove an inspiring one. This
state has done much to encourage the
building of permanent highways but
there yet remain great opportunities
for advancement along this line.

The bill in the Massachusetts legis-
lature providing for three new hos
pitfalls for consumptives is causing con-
siderable discussion as to where these
institutions shall be located. In dis
cussing the matter the legislative cor
respondent Of the Greenfield Recorder
calls attention to the difference of
opinion that is bound to arise when
such a question is presented for get
Element, and his remarks are of intet
est locally in that they are applicable
to the Austine sanatorium controversy.
He says:
There are two points of view as to
the ACCESSIBILITY of having such an III.
stitution in a town. While it signi-
fes that the conditions are fayorable
for the treatment of cases of this
character it also acts as a magnet to
draw such cases from other parts of
the state. While some believe such
an institution would be a benefit to a
community, others believe it would be
a detriment. As this board of nine
trustees is to locate three of these hos.
pitfalls, two in the eastern part Of the
state in addition to the one in the
Connecticut valley, it is easily 20 be
seen that they will have troubles com
ing to them not easy to surmount.

The Burlington News names new
candidate for secretary of state in Jo-
seph r. Stearns of that city, a gradu-
ate from the University of Vermont
in 1896, from the Harvard law school
in 1899, formerly associated with Con
gresham Foster in the practice of law
and for the past year clerk of the
Burlington city court. In advocating
Mr.. Stearns for this office the News
calls attention to the fact that three
other candidates have been mentioned
already-Robert w. McCuen of Yer
gennes, Guy w. Bailey of Essex and
Frank L. Greene of st. Adams. Knowl.
edge that Col Greene sis willin , "
comes as a surprise to many although
there never existed a doubt that his
publications entitled him to such an
aspiration. Indeed there is probably
no man in Vermont on whom the news
papers of the state could unite with
more harmony than the versatile edi-
tor of the st. Adams Messenger. If
F. L. actually wants to be secretary of
state and determines to try for the po-
sition he will make the other candi-
dates scratch gravel provided there
is any power in printers ink.

Ida Saxton Mckinley, widow of
President William Mckinley, died
Sunday afternoon at her home in Can
ton, o. Transition was 50 peaceful
and gradual that it was with difficulty
that physicians and attendants noted
the dissolution. Mrs. Mckinley was
born in Canton, o., June S, 1S47,
daughter of James A. SaXton, a pro
gressive business man and banker
who took his daughter into business
with himself after giving her a thor
ough education. In 1871 she was
married to William Mckinley, then
handsome young soldier who had been
with Grant and Sheridan and had won
distinction in the Shenandoah valley.
They began their married life in Can
ton and it was during their brief so
iourn in their first home that Mrs. Nc
Kinley S health was broken down un-
der the grief caused by the death of
her daughters. In spite of her invalid
state however, she desired to be with
her husband as much as possible and
on his campaign tours, while he was
congressman, governor and president,
she iourneyed with him as far as prac-
ticable. At Washington during Presi-
dent McKinleys term of Office, she
was unable to act as hostess at bril-
liant social functions but did more
than her friends thought her physical
condition would stand. After her
husband S assassination Mrs. McKin-
ley's life was despaired of for a
month or more but she rallied and for
several years had enjoyed better health
than usual. She looked forward con,
stantly, however, to the time when she
and her devoted life companion should
be reunited.

Great Events and Movements Which
Are Making History.

The death in Paris Saturday of The.
odore Tilton recalls one of the most
dramatic stories in the history Of this
country, a story in which Tilton was
the most prominent actor. In 1874
Henry Ward Beechcr stood at the apex
of his fame as the greatest English
speaking preacher in the world. There
was only one man who approached
the summit upon which he Stood
Charles Haddon Sturgeon, but it is
generally agreed that the English

~. like lightning from clear sky,
bolt of scandal struck the pedestal
upon which the great preacher stood.
The charge came from the author, edi'

country wallowed in the slime of that
trial for months, The lives Of the
principals were turned inside out. The
finest legal talent that money could
secure was ranged on both sides, and
it was'a battle to the death. The trial
lasted more than six months, and end
ed with disagreement of the jury,
after delibcration of nine days, the
jury standing u to 3 in favor of the
defendant Public sentiment has al.
ways been divided as to the facts in
the ease, since the trial did not result
in the complete and overwhelming
vindieation Of the Brooklyn preacher
Mr.. Beecher, however, moved with Sc
renity through the scene, supported
Loyalty by his church and his family
and maintained his position until his
death. 1t was not so with Tilton. His
family was broken up, he led for few
years an active life on the lecture
platform until the curiosity of the peo'
pie was satisfied, after which he went
abroad, and sunk into obscurity.

There S no use trying to dodge the
fact that the Valley fair has reached a
point where different tactics must be
adopted along the lines of publicity in
order to increase the attendance, and
unless more people are induced to visit
the fair every year the institution will
surely begin to decline. For the last
few years the fair has not shown the
increase in attendance that it ought
although the quality and quantity of
the exhibits have not declined in any
way. This can mean only one thing
and that is that more money must be
expended in exploiting the features of
the fair throughout the territory from
which the attendance is drawn. Send
ing premium lists out early will
amount to a good deal as far as the
exhibitors themselves are concerned,
but the great majority of those who
attend the fair never see a premium
list, depending almost wholly on the
newspapers for information. In order
thoroughly to interest the general pub
lie the fair management should begin
Immediately to "talk shop" on every
occasion possible If this is done
properly and thoroughly there is no
reason why the attendance next fall
should not break all previous records.

NEW NAVY FIGHTER
TO VISIT HONOLULU.

Washington, April 27.-The Navy
Department has finally taken action on
the lond pending recommendations
from Mare Island concerning the con-
version of the United States monitor
Wyoming into an experimental oil
burning vessel. 1t has been decided to
equip the ship with tanks capable Of
carrying about 1900 barrels of oil. Some
extra tanks will be placed in the
athwartship bunkers, while the wing
lbunkers will be used for carrying coal,
Most of the oil will be stored in the
double bottoms.
The ship will be equipped with spec
ial apparatus for burning oil, and it
will be so arranged that this device
can be removed or installed, as need be,
within two or three hours, so that
either oil or coal may be used as fuel
In this way, it will be possible to OBJ
tain direct comparisons of the two sys-
tens under identical conditions. 1t is
expected the work will be completed
within three or four months, when the
Wyoming will be attached to the Pa
cifc fleet, with duty in home waters
and make runs as far as Honolulu.
1t is proposed to have storage facil-
tiles for oil at Mare Island and another
storage place at Honolulu. The esti-
mate of the cost of this installation
under the bureaus of construction and
of steam engineering is $4,000.

HENDRY WATCHING
FOR
DEFAUL7ER DOUGLASS

Marshal Hendry is looking for the
defaulter from Manila, whom he failed
to find on board the transport Thomas
yesterday, on the Mongolia, due today.
The first intimation of his being liable
TO pass through this port was received
by the police, who received eXtradi-
tioI. papers from the Manila authorities
some days ago. Owing to certain pc
cujiarities in the law governing such
matters the police turned them over to
the Federal authorities, who are now
handling the case.
According to the description which
the police received from Manila the
defaulter, whose name is Douglas, is
thirty-one years of age, five feet eight
inches in height, has brown hair, and
a somewhat blotched and pockmarked
complexion. He is supposed to be trav-
cling together with a woman from
Australia.

alteration, | withdrew"
Assistant Chief of Detectives Joe
Leal testified that he told the Mas
ter-at-Arms that it was the United
States Marshal that wanted to get on
board, whereupon the answer was
made by the Master-at-A that he
didn't give a d-n; that he had Or
ders to let none of them civilians on
board"
The case of Captain Lyman of the
transport Thomas, charged with OBJ
structing United States Marshal Hen
dry when he attempted to board the
ship off the harbor in the execution
of his duty was heard by U. S. Com
missioner Hatch this morning. Be-
sides the court officials there were
present immigration, Army and
County police officials.
Captain Lyman was not represent
ed by any attorney and his witnesses
were some of the ships officers.
Among those who testified on behalf
Of the United States Marshal were
Mr.. Brown of the immigration serv-
ice and members of the Marshals
staff who went out with him.
Captain Lyman took the stand and
stated that he was not informed that
U. S. Marshal Hendry was near the
ship until the Marshal had left the
boat. He admitted that he did order
that no civilian should come aboard,
hut denied having used sulphuric Ian
guage. Captain Lvman told the
Commissioner that he was not accus-
toned to using such language. He
stated further that if he had been re-
liably informed of the presence of
Marshal Hendry there would have
been no difficulty.
After Captain Lyman had given his
evidence the ships surgeon was call
ed by the Captain to testify. The
doctor said he distinctly heard the
Captain sing out to not allow civil
ians aboard and that he did not hear
any profane language used by the
Captain. He admitted that he did
order the Marshal, whom he did not
know then, and his party off the
ship, but denied hearing the CONVEX
sation which took place among mem
bers of the Marshals party. The
doctor said that this was his first trip
here and he was not acquainted with
the Marshal.
At the close of the doctors testi-
mony District Attorney Breckons
moved that the case against Captain
Lyman be dismissed as the evidence
was not strong enough to convict
that he would proceed to lay COM
plant against M. A. Mont, the trans
port ergeant-at-arms, who ordered
the U. S. Marshal off the ship with
cut proper and due authority.
Marshal Hendry stated to the Com
missioner that personally he had no
i!l-feeling against Capt. Lyman, but
officially he made the complaint to
prevent future trouble. In asking the
court to be lenient with Captain Ly-
man, Marshal Hendry offered the
opinion that light reprimand was
sufficient to meet the end of Justice. |
Hatch, under the cir
dismissed the case of
captain Lyman. and NJ. A. Mont, |
of the transport, |

hal to await further action.
