FAILS TO MEET CHARGE
Guggenheim Makes No Reply
to Allegation That His
Toga Was Purchased

Simon Guggenheim failed to make
his heralded reply to the charges that
his election as United States Senator
from Colorado had been purchased. 1t
had been announced widely by his
friends that on accepting the Senator
/ ship he would repudiate the charges
against him. His speech after the
Legislature in joint session had declared
him elected consisted Of eulogies of the
State and prophecies Of what he would
do as statesman. Except inferential-
ly, no reference was made to the
charges.
What was regarded to some extent as
a reply. however, was Mr.. Guggen.
helms announcement that he had re-
signed his Offices in the smelter COM
bine aud the other concerns with which
he was identified. His opponents say
he thereby admitted he has had affilia-
tious which would be impolitic for q
Senator.
When Mr.. Guggenheim was declared
elected the crowds in the galleries
cheered mildly. Friends Of the SEN
ator-elect applauded. but most Of the
spectators were silent.
Speech of the Victor
Mr.. Gnggenheim's speech was rs
follows:

BRATTLEBORO, FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 1907.
Haywood Acquitted.

William u. Haywood, secretary treas
urcr Of the Western Federation Of Miners,
was pronounced not guilty Of the murder
of former Governor Steunenberg by the
jury at Boise, Idaho, at 7.5S Sunday morn
ing. The jury had been in session all
night. 1t is understood that the first vote
was eight for guilty and four for murder
in the first degree but the minority yield
ed their convictions, although one Of
them is quoted as saying that he still
believes Haywood to be guilty Of murder
The Rutland Herald sums up the situ-
alton aptly when it says that the verdict
was more an escape than a vindication.
disagreement was the general expecta-
tion. There was plenty Of evidence that
the Western Federation Of Miners had
been Identified with the commission of
horrible crimes, but it was not shown be-
yond question Of reasonable doubt that
Haywood was a conspirator in the murder
of Steunenburg. The prosecution de-
pended largely upon the testimony of
Orchard, and his statements revealed him
self az such a monstrosity Of depravity
that his words would need strong cor
roboration TO carry conviction. Since
Haywood was acquitted Meyer, one Of his
associates. has been admitted to $4,000
bail but Pettibone is still held in Gus

An important chapter on physical hand
leaps was a feature of the recent report
of Miss Marguerite Tucker, supervisor of
the Brattleboro graded schools. Thirty
per cent of our pupils have defective
vision and 10 per cent defective hearing,
and although parents have been notified
of results of tests for three years only
one-third have applied remedies after
consultation with a physician or spec
ialists. The children will be back in the
schools again in five weeks, and before
they make a start on their years work
they should be freed from handicaps as
far as possible. The Manchester Union,
in discussing this subject, well says: 1T
would be difficult to conceive of a greater
unintentional cruelty than the sending Of
a sensitive child TO school to pore over
books the printed characters of which
were never clear to its vision, to mark
that child in competition with other chill
dren with perfect or at any rate normal
eyesight, to reprove and perhaps pun
ish 1t for carelessness or lack of industry
and finally to crush its aspirations by de-
nying the promotion which it never had
half a chance to win. When the result
is not quite so obviously disastrous and
the child does go on in spite of the hand
leap 1t is at the cost of a nervous strain
which is sure to count against it in after
years.

Complication In Three Suits

a hearing on the involved financial re-
lations of George Ware OF Brookline and
his father-in-law, James c. Church Of
that place, win be held in Brookline to-
day, Three suits are to be decided. The
first is one brought by Mr.. Ware against
Mr.. Church to recover about $2300 alleged
to be due as a balance of money owed
him for board in the past II years. The
seconnd suit is brought by Mr. Church to
recover $500 on a note given by Mr.. Ware
to him. The third suit is on a fore
closure of a mortgage note for $1,000 given
to Mr.. Church by Mr.. Ware All three
will be referred to a board OF arbitratio
consisting Of Attorney General c. c.
Fits of Brattleboro. Hon. F. b. Pier OF
Jamaica and Hon. E. P. Adams of Marl-
bOro. Both parties agree to abide by the
decision of the arbtrators. 1t appears
that Mr.. Church, who is now 81 years
old, came to live with his son-in-law in
1890 and remained with him until the
spring OF 1906, about 1G years. He then
left his home owing to a disagreement
and Mr.. Ware brought the suit to collect
money for board during the 16 years. This
suit was brought last fall and Mr.. Church
Immediately brought the two offsetting
suits on the two notes given to him by his
son-in law. Mr.. Church claims that the
work he has done on the farm and the
interest on the money loaned to Mr..
Ware by himself were ample recompense
for his board. Gibson az Waterman will
appear for Mr., Church and H. G. Barber

Mrs. Mary c. Higgins.

Mrs Mary Griffin Higgins, 70, the last
survivor Of one of the sturdy Irish fam
lilies that have made Bratleboro their
home for more than half a century, died
Sunday night in her home on Elliot street.
She came here with her family when IS
years old and had lived here ever since.
Just a month before she died her last
remaining brother, James Griffin, died in
Los Angeles, Cal. Mrs. Higgins had been
failing rapidly in health since she was
hurt by falling downstairs Jan. 9 and for
the past two weeks had been confined to
her bed. The news of her brothers death
reached here July 19 and she was then
failing rapidly that she could not real
ize that he was gone. She was the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. James Griffin
and spent her early life in Ireland. With
her mother and brothers she came to
Bratleboro when IS years old and three
months after her arrival married Michael
Higgins OF this town, who died about Il
years ago. OF the nine children born to
them only three survive. They are Miss
row OF this town and Miss Abbie L.
Higgins Of Springfield, Mass. In her long
residence here Mrs. Higgins had won the
respect and esteem Of a wide circle who
will remember her as a kindly and SYM
pathetic friend.
The funeral was held in St. MichaeTs
Roman Catholic church Wednesday morn
ing at o'clock. Rev. Father Thomas
O'Donoghue oficiated. The bearers were
Luke Ferriter, John Devine, Daniel Bros
nahan and Timothy Aher. Burial was in
