WEEK IN THE WORLD.
Great Events and Movements Which
Are Making History.

Boise Idaho, will soon be center of
world interest. The first trial in the
celebrated case growing out of the
murder of former Gov Frank Steun-
enbcrg has been set for May 9, when
William D. Haywood, secretary of the
western federation of miners, will be
arraigned. While the murder of Steun-
enberg was committed in the little
town of Caldwell, Canyon county,
Boise has been headquarters for all
those concerned in the case. Meyer,
Haywood and Pettibone were trans
ferred to the Ada county Jail there be-
cause it offered more comfortable quar-
tiers than could be offered by the Jail
at Caldwell. Gov. Gooding, who has
had charge of the prosecution on be-
half of the state, is there. Attorney
J. H. Hawley, leading counsel for the
state, and his associate, Senator W. E.
Borah, one of the greatest legal lights
in that section, are members of the
Capitol City bar Attorney j. H. MI
gent has charge of the case for the
defense. Boise also has been the
headquarters for the detectives en-
ployed on the case. They have been
employed by scores, by both the prose-
cutiOn and defense. Many have been
encamped there ever since the begin
ming to watch the main figures in the
case and to learn the business of
strangers coming there as prospective
witnesses. No town, even in Russia,
was ever more completely under the
eye of secret service agents. There

WHO ARE BENEFIcIARIEs?

The will of Thomas Thompson pro
vided that the fund for "the relief
and support of poor seamstresses,
needle women and shop girls, who may
be in temporary need from want of
employment, sickness or misfortune y
should be divided equally between the
towns of Brattleboro, VT, and Rhine
beck, n. Y. During the litigation
which preceded the decree of the SUI
preme court of Massachusetts, the at
torneys who represented this town laid
especial emphasis on the fact that Brat
tleboro ought to have more of the in
come than Rhinebeck for the reason
that it was larger and contained
larger proportion of residents who were
rightfully benefciaries. In support of
this claim the local attorneys induced
the attorney general of the state of
New York, who was representative of
the Rhinebeck benefciaries exofficio,
to send a representative to Brattle-
boro, and this representative was TAX
en- to the overall factory of the Hook
err, Corser & Mitchell company to be
given an idea of the large number of
seamstresses, needle women and shop
girls employed in Brattleboro. As
result of this visit the attorney general
of the state of New York agreed not
to oppose a provision in the decree
making two-thirds instead of one-half
of the income available in Brattleboro.
In the light of these facts how can
the Thompson fund trustees justify |
their statement that women working |
as stitchers in the overall factories |
care not exactly the occupations that
the testator had in view9" All the
legal talent connected with the htiga-
ton over the will were unanimous in
the opinion that employees of overall
factories were benefciaries or there
would have been no agreement to the
change in the division of the income
The identical employees who now claim
they are Disseminated against by the
trustees were used as evidence that
Brattleboro had need of fund of just
the nature of that left by Thomas
Thompson. 1t hardly seems as if resort
to litigation were necessary to deter
mine the status of the overall employees
in this matter. Human intelligence and
common sense ought to make combi- !
nation sufficiently penetrating to solve
the problem.

CoUNTERFEITER DEAD.
Man with Checkered Career a Victim
of Morphine Habit.

John D. Salisbury, electrical engi.
neer, Spanish war veteran, self con.
fessed counterfeiter and a man whose
romantic career covers several pages of
historical as well as criminal records,
the last of which was the serving of a
four years sentence at the house of
correction in Rutland for counterfeit
ing, has committed suicide in Boston.
Previous to being sentenced on the
counterfeiting charge Salisbury was
given several hearings before Judge
H. H. Wheeler in Brattleboro, and
many interesting facts in his career
were brought out at that time.
He was a world renowned electri-
cal engineer and at the outbreak of
the SpanishAmerican war he was as
signed to the signal corps for duty in
the Philippines. Here he worked his
way to the rank of sergeant and was
finally allowed to take photographs of
the belligerents in action, which were
exhibited at the Pan-Amer-
lean exposition.
Captured by the Filipinos, he was
compelled to travel, half naked through

dition became desperate. Six times he
succeeded in getting away from his
captors only to be retaken, each time
fresh torments were added to the Aor-
ror of his position. At length Agui-
naldo s wife became i'll and the Fill
pino chief decided to send her within
the American lines. Salisbury was
granted his liberty on condition that
he would act as guide, and with
party of eight he finally effected an
entry into the American lines.
Salisbury was soon afterwards in
valided at San Francisco where. in the
hospital, his case was considered hope
less. The doctors finally succeeded in
him around, through the adj
ninistration of large quantities of NOR
Dhine, but when Salisbury arose from
MS sick bed he had become a hopeless
slave to the habit.
He then drifted back to Vermont.

Tied Hand and Foot Legislatively.
(BOston Record.)

Maj II. l.. lligginson reached right
down to the real heart Of the existing
railroad problem when he said: "The
railroads can't keep up with the bust
ness now, because IL takes so long 10
get tools and ears II isn't easy TO
forosec what is coming, and that is the
trouble with railroad men and with all
business men," The expansion of bust,
ness has so enormously outstripped the
expansion of the transportation facil.
tiles that the latter need to spend mil.
lions, billion, J, J. Hill said, to keep
up. And they cannot spend it if they
are to be tied hand and foot legisla-
lively. That is where the problem of
future stock issues touch the present so
closely. Somebody must lend the
money. In this country business is us.
ing it up with great rapidity, And if
the foreign lenders do not understand
the situation they will not lend. Maj,
HigginsOn s assertion, "thc railroads
of the United States couldn I be built
for the price of the bonds and stocks
on them today" is one that should be
made and considered as cardinal
point. 1t is the great point, so far as
the actual present overcapitalization
discussion is concerned.

The state fair commission it would
seem have done the poorest thing
they could have done in selecting
White River Junction as the location
for the state fair. Owing to its mac
feasibility, very few from this section
of the state would attempt to attend
the fair at White River Junction, much
less exhibit there. Furthermore, the
towns hotel accommodations are en-
tirely inadequate to handle a crowd of
visitors. We can think of a dozen
locations in Vermont that have advan
tages over White River Junction for
the exhibition. Even Burlington would
be among the number.

Twas only few months ago that
New Hampshire was in the throes of
strenuous gubernatorial contest of
which the fight for the republican nom
nation was a distinctive feature. In
view of the many promises and COM
paratively few fulfllments made by
the republican party it would seem as
if wisdom would advise a season of 81
lence. But no, the aspirants to the
chief position within the gift of the
Granite State republicans are already
busy and there will be no rest for
them for the next IS months. Rose
Grams W. Pillsbury, whose withdrawal
in favor of Governor Floyd after pro-
Tossing friendship for Winston
Churchill was the sensation of the re-
publican state convention last fall, is
pushing his candidacy with vigor, we
are told, and has a long lead in the
race. But there are many republicans
in New Hampshire who have no use
for Pillsbury and there is no danger
that he will not have strong opposition

Push It Along.

An effort will be made in the near
future to install a proper ventilating
system in the state house. This is a
mighty good scheme. If any clean-cut
legislation originates from the house it
is not the fault of good, pure air. After
246 men have been throwing off the
impurities of their lungs for two or
there hours it is the most oppressive
room in which to attempt any mental
work that could be selected.

Brattleboro is experiencing some diff
ficulty in inducing some of its citizens
to favor new industries because they
want to keep that place a residence
town. 1t is possible to keep place
so quiet that it finally becomes the
habitation of bats and spider webs,
and the nearer that time comes the
less live people want to live there
Burlington Free Press.
This is a warning which Brattleboro
people should heed if they are really
in favor of making this town a bust
ness center instead of hamlet among
the hills. 1t may be well in this con-
nection to reiterate the assertion we
have made so often, that in order to
keep up with the procession Of prog
ress we must stop being hypercritical
and prepare a welcome for all sorts
and conditions of men. We must eX-
tend the glad hand to every industry
that is willing to- consider locating
here. Of course, it is natural that we
should prefer industries employing the
most desirable class Of labor but we
are not in a position to be discriminat-
ing in this matter. The more people
we can get in Brattleboro the better;
if they are not up to our standard it
is our duty to elevate them. 1t takes
only very little of this "holier than
thou talk to distract the attention Of
people looking Brattleboro ward. Those
who cannot become reconciled to the
idea of having this town a manufac-
turing center ought at least to hold
their tongues.

An interesting discussion developed
at the board of trade meeting Tuesday
evening over the question of the need
of more tenements in Brattleboro
There were some who thought that
there was little chance for the town to
grow unless more houses were built at
once, while others took the more con
sentative ground that building would
increase rapidly enough TO aceommo-
date the town S growth. OF course
there are two sides to this question.
1t can be argued fairly that a surplus
of tenements would tend to decrease
the value of real estate and lower
rents, yet on the other hand employers
Of labor maintain that the scarcity of
suitable accommodation is one of the
greatest obstacles in the way of in
creasing their forces. One manufac-
turer stated only the other day that a
man who had been employed by him
since last fall had been obliged to wait
until now before finding a tenement
into which to move his family. 1t has
also happened that people have shipped
their goods here and then been obliged
to leave town because they could find
no house.

Just at the height of the Roosevelt.
| Hartman controversy last week the
attention of the public was distracted
by the startling announcement from
the White House of the discovery of a
$j,0000O0 conspiracy to defeat the
Roosevelt policies in the coming presi
Dental campaign. The story, it was
said, escaped from the lips of an in.
temperate senator at a dinner in
Washington a few weeks ago and its
authenticity, according to Secretary
Loeb, was undoubted. The announce
ment of the cabal, we are led to be-
lieve by Washington dispatches, took
the enemies of the president complete
ly by surprise and "nipped in the
bud - the whole conspiracy. In the
minds of many friends of the present
administration, however, the startling
revelation looks more like an attempt
to turn the thoughts of the people from
campaign contributions and senator
ship bartering to facts more amicable
to Rooseveltan ideas. The affair has
given the president the opportunity to
inject himself into the campaign of
1905 He will not allow himself to be
renominated but he will do everything
in his power to prevent the election of
a reactionary' who would in any
way be a creature of the trusts.

Secretary Metcalf has granted the
application of Commander Robert L.

years, the time to be devoted by him
to Arctic exploration. The applica.
tion of Robert L. Peary for leave of

definitely purposes to make another at.

pole. The three years leave of alb.
senee during which he made his ia
nous journey to the farthest point

and the new leave begins at once,
Preparations for another dash toward
the pole have been well under way all
winter, but Commander Peary and his
associates of the Peary Arctic club
have been keeping secret their action,
as it was felt that it would be a
breach of courtesy, if not of discipline,
for the naval officer to announce his
voyage until his superiors made it pos.
sible by their approval. The order
granting the leave of absence stipu-
lates that the time is to be devoted to
Arctic exploration. June is the month
in which the start is to be made, but
the exact day has not been settled.

the north pole have not yet been OBJ
tanned, but it is stated that there is no
