death. The affectionate terms in which
the local railroad men spoke OF him
on hearing the news Of his death test'
fed to the place he held among them.

vermonters Attracted to Gov. Hughes

The Vermont Fish andSGame league
banqueters went over" to Gov Hughes
of New York horse. foot and Dragons.
The governor seems to have emulated
the Irish soldier who singlehanded sur
rounded a force and brought them into
camp. Gov. Proctor is quoted as char
acterizing the greeting to the New York
executive as the greatest ovation within
his knowledge ever accorded a man by a
Vermont audience" EX-Gov. Stewart of
Middlebury is so enthusiastic over Gov,
Hughess speech that he wants it printed
in permanent form and distributed so
every school boy in Vermont can read it.
Most of US who have never seen Gov.
Hughes naturally picture him as a man
of such intense convictions, inheXible
honesty and answering determination as
to be austere in manner, but his play OF
wit and humor, his genial personality
and his magnetic qualities came as a
pleasant surprise to those who met him
at Bluff Point. The Montpelier Journal
summed up the impression in this way;
THE introduction of Gov Hughes OF
New York was the signal for perhaps the
most remarkable demonstration ever wit
messed at a meeting of the league. Every
one jumped to his feet and cheered with
the full force of his lungs, the demonstra-
ton lasting for several minutes before
the speaker could be heard The man OF
the hour impressed Vermonters at once
with his striking, clean cut personality
A lionlike head, eyes that search anc
hold, a commanding, well-poised figure
and a full, resonant voice were some OF
the first impressions. But the surprise
for many lay in the magnetic quality Of
the man. Many had supposed him a trihs
cold and relentless, just and swerving moi
hair from his convictions, but all were
pleasantly disappointed to meet mar
whose tremendous dynamic force comes
largely from concentrated personality anc
whose way with men carries not only con-
viction but enlists enthusiasm and sup
port"

Gov. Hughes of New York in an ad-
dress at the Fulton county fair won
plaudits from the assembled farmers by
declaring himself to be an optimist He
believes we shall have steady. consistent
progress, and that to this end. there is a
growing demand throughout the country
for honesty in business and for honesty
in public affairs. The American people
he says, while they have n great variety
of faults. will not fail in the future Ito
make the government square with the
eternal principles of the ten command
ments and the Declaration of Independ-
ence." AS to the railroads, the governor
says that franchises and privileges have
been thrown around altogether too care
lessly in the past and that there is not a
railroad in the state but whose right to
conduct business comes from the state.
and that consequently the state must
control the railroads. He says the gov
ernment must treat every question with
inexorable fairness and patient dellbera-
tion in ascertaining truth, but that no
man shall have greater advantage than
any other.

Gov. Floyd of New Hampshire, sur
rounded by the glittering guard of
colonels and generals who accompanied
him to the jamestown exposition, talked
politics in Washington in a way which
does not indicate harmony in the So
called Granite state the next two years
Gov Floyd says that If Senator Gallinger
has any opposition when he seeks reelec-
tion he will not be returned to the United
States senate, and he supplements this
by naming Irving w Drew, a lawyer,
Frank S. Streeter, national committee
man, and Representative Curier as pos
sible candidates. Floyd accuses CALM
ger of duplicity in the last gubernatorial
campaign. He says Gallinger gave him
to understand that he (Gallinger) would
take no active part in the campaign nor
engage actively in the fight, but that in
the face of his promises he made the
most active campaign of his careerfn be-
half of Mr.. Greenleaf Mr.. Floyd added:
Il understand that w. L. Pillsbury editor
of a paper, will be the candidate Of the
Reformers, so called, and will be backed
by Winston Churchill who was himself
candidate last year. l do not believe
that New Hampshire is in need of reform
such as these people want to give it.
New Hampshire is the best governed
state in the Union. Its people pay less
taxes than those of any other state"
Gov. Floyd also expressed the belief that
Hughes would be the presidential choice
of, New Hampshire Republicans.

Resemblance to the Missing Boy-What
Mr.. Calvin Found Out.

Young Man with Same Name Bore No
Resemblance to the Missing Boy-What
Mr.. Calvin Found Out.
The journalistic takers, from the New
York Journal down, have had their in
nings this week with John Calvin OF
Brattleboro and his missing son, John 70.
Calvin, as their subjects. Mr.. Calvin has
been pictured as finding his missing boy
in Brooklyn, Identifying him and exclaim-
ing, MY son! My son!" ETC. while the
youth gave him the stony stare, refused
to identify ms parent and denied all
knowledge of the family and of people
in Brattleboro. Fake pictures of the two
subjects were used in the New York
Journal and a great variety of sensational
detail, wholly fictitious, was worked up.
The stories had a modcum of truth for
a basis Mr.. Calvin recently learned tnat
Mrs. John Greenage, who was visiting
the family of George Reynolds in Estey-
Vile, knew of John E. Calvin in Brook
lyn. Mrs. Greenage, on being shown a
picture of the Brattleboro boy, who has
been missing two years, thought she
idenNfied it as her acquaintance in Brook
lyn. Following this clue, Mr.. Calvin went
to New York Sept. A. He found John b.
Calvin, who was employed in a meat
market in Brooklyn. The young man was
not present at the market when Mr.. CAL
of Mr.. Galvin's son was shown, the people
at the market were at once positive that
there Were two young men of the same
name. a little later Mr.. Calvin met the
young man and saw at the first glance
that he was not his son.
The Brooklyn John E. Calvin was born
and has always lived in that city. He is
soon to be married and it happened that
a sister of his intended bride had known
the Brattleboro boy, and following the
information which she gave Mr.. Calvin
found several acquantances of his son.
both~ in Brooklyn and in Newark. Al
though nothing had been heard from his
son in two years, Mr.. Calvin succeeded in
tracing his movements up to last Decem-
Der. He feels convinced now that the boy
is still living and the police of New York
and Newark will assist him in his search.
lie found the officials in both New York
and Brooklyn courteous and helpful in
their assistance, and he was especially
impressed with the efficient organization
of the Newark police force and the wish
to be of help of the chief of police and
his subordnates. Mr.. Calvin returned
home Saturday night.
Mr.. Calvin learned that his sons occu-
patton in Brooklyn had been mainly that
of piano player in a moving picture con-
cern, and he saw the man by whom he
was last employed in that capacity The
very last that was learned of his move
ments he was employed as waiter in a
Childs restaurant in Brooklyn, the pro-
prietor of which he saw and who fully
identified his son. Mr.. Calvin learned
that in the moving picture show Jack
had as a chum a young Jew, known as
Maggie" who sang to Jacks accompani-
ment. He appeared to be completely un-
der the influence of this young man, and
Mr.. Calvin is of the opinion that he may
have left Brooklyn and gone on a tour
of the cities with him.

According to the agent of the Vermont
Bible society. who is a very accurate
compiler of statistics, Barton village has
increased in population from 1859 in 1900
to 1925 at the present time, Barton Land
ing has jumped from 677 to 1O46. and
North Troy from 562 to 6O3. These figures
are not remarkable. but they indicate a
healthy growth, similar to that found in
many parts Of Vermont. The gain which
the state will show in population under
the next census will surprise many peo-
plc.

The New York Times has compiled a
record Of 96 automobile accidents which
took place during the three summer
months and in them 80 persons were
killed and 2o2 injured. Twenty ac-
cidents were caused by reckless driving.
in IL others the machine was not under
control, ten were due to faulty brakes
and steering gear, nine were collisions
with trolley cars and eight collisions with
steam cars at grade crossings, eight per-
sons were run down in the streets, four
accidents came from the frightening OF
horses and three from explosion of tires.
The Times points out that in the great
majority Of accidents the burden OF
blame rests on the drivers and not upon
defects in the automobile itself.

The French embroglio with the Moors
has reached the point where it is call
ed war. In the two recent engagements
near Casablanca it is estimated that 500
Moors were killed. The Moors are re-
ligious fanatics who are absolutely fear
less of death and they go into battle
chanting verses from the Koran. The
Moors have gathered a force of upwards
of 10000 men and France faces the
necessity Of sending strong expedi-
tionary army against them.

Mildred Holland In "a Paradise Of Lies
Saturday Afternoon and Evening.

The coming Of Mildred Holland to the
Auditorium on Saturday, Sept. IA, matines
and evening, in her picturesque romantic
drama, A Paradise of Lies" will be a
theatrical and social event. Aside from
her work as an artist Of intense power.
Miss Hollands personality makes her al
most a universal friend OF eacn one OF
her auditors. She has that magnetism Of
manner, that delicious melody Of voice, the
indescribable though subtle power, which
irresistably draws the individual toward
her, and makes one participate in the
joys and sorrows which the actress Is
portraying Miss Holland has in the part
Of Lolita in "a Paradise of Lies" prob
ably the best role she has ever created.
The part calls for the range Of every
emotion and Miss Holland slides the scale
from mirth to misery with every note
ringing true. Her reception this year in
the new play has been most worthy, the
capacity Of many houses having been
tested.
