MAYOR WILL CALL
FOR INVESTIGATION

Mayor Schwarz is anxious that
steps be taken to learn the exact facts
concerning the intent of the Central
Colorado Power company in the mat
ter of diverting the waters of Grand
river. The mayor says it is not enough
that enough water shall be left in the
channel of the river to take care Of the
sewage, but he insists that consider
able current must be maintained so
that there shall be no suspicion OF
stagnant water, musquito harbors OF
disease breeding germs.
Mayor Schwarz maintains, as he al
ways has done, that Gienwood is the
most healthful town in the state and
that nothing must be permitted to in
terfere with this chief asset of the
town. While Curtis 4 Hine of the
Power company disclaim any intention
of diverting the water in sufficient
quantity to jeopardize the wet fare OF
Glenwood and its inhabitants, tine
mayor thinks it is well to have sonie'
thing a little more definite than their
letter to that effect and will report the
matter to the town board and town
attorney at it's next meeting.
The mayor is certainly Justihed IN
wishing to thoroughly investigate the
matter and to guarantee protection to
the town over whose destinies hs 50
ably presdes, but the Post hopes tha'
an investigation will prove that tn IRE
is no cause for alarm in the matter

USE DYNAMITE ON ICE.
Brattleboro Company Blasting in Pond
Above Dam.

The Twin State Gas and Electric
company of Brattleboro, which owns
the dam in West river at West Dunn
merston, and power house near the
dam from which electric power is de-
rived for lighting this village, has had
a gang of men at work removing the
ice from the pond above the dam to
prevent a recurrence of the damage of
three years ago, when about eight feet
of the upper part of the dam was car
ried away. The ice is about "a inches
thick. 1t is being removed by dyna-
mite, and the blasts produce spectac-
ular effect, water and pieces of ice
sometimes being carried $50 feet into
the air. The dam is 26 feet high and
about 260 feet long and is built large
ly of granite blocks. The pond will be
cleared for a distance of 800 to 400
feet to relieve the pressure when the
ice farther up the river breaks up.
Since the damage three years ago the
ice in the pond has been removed by
dynamite each spring. The power
house is situated just below the dam
and is in a dangerous position.

PARTIALITY ALLEGED
Local Organization Likely TO Ask for
Thorough Investigation Of Thompson
Funds Management-Th Trustees
Strange Interpretation.

There have been but few develop
ments the past week in the contro
versy between the shop girls of Brat
teboro and the trustees of the Thomas
Thompson fund, but il is expected
that matters will shape themselves
next week when a meeting of the So
ciety of seamstresses, needle women
and shop girls of Brattleboro has
been called to consider the question.
\ petition asking that such a meeting
be called has already been presented
to the president of the society, Mrs. A,
j. Currier, and she has called a
meeting for Tuesday evening in
Festival hall A meeting of the
local shop girls was held Saturday and
committee, consisting of Mrs. Nellie
Streeter, Miss Ruth Allen, Miss Mar
guerite Moran, Miss Kate Dwyer and
Miss Elizabeth Sullivan, was appointed
to engage a lawyer TO investigate the
administration of the fund. This in.
vestigation will be for the purpose of
determining whether the benefeiares
are receiving their due and whether
all who are entitled to benefits under
the will are included in the list of ell.
igibles made up by the trustees.
1t seems that the trustees have held
that employees of the overall factory
are neither seamstresses, needle women
or shop girls in the strict meaning of
these terms and for that reason many
applications for aid have been turned
down. The feeling is general, however,
that such an Interpretation Of the will
is not in keeping with the spirit in
which it was originally drawn, and
the majority Of the people in town
doubtless believe that the action of
the local shop girls will result in
much good
Mrs. Augusta Z. Wells who with
Mrs. Currier is local agent of the trus-
tees shares this opinion. She says that |
it is not the duty of herself or of Mrs |
Currier to make any recommendations |
in regard to applicants for aid, but |
simply to send the facts to the trus'
tees 1t has been frequently stated,
however, that certain employees of |
the overall factory have received help |
while others who have applied have
been refused and ii is difficult to un-
derstand how the trustees of the fund,
unfamiliar as they are with local con
ditiOns, can make such discrimination
unless something more than a mere
statement of facts were sent them.
The trustees say that in administering
the fund they abide by the rule which
makes eligible any woman who at the
lime when the will became operative in
1901 was seamstress, needle woman
IT shop girl in this town. This ruling
will have to be changed sooner or later
'or the reason that those who were in
at that time will be gone
ong before the fund is exhausted.
The real trouble many people are in
lined to think lies with the trustees,
md if a thorough investigation of
heir stewardship can be brought
lbout it cannot fail to throw much
light upon the situation.

Dying Man Robbed.

Joseph King of Rochester, who came
to Brattleboro yesterday with the body
of his brother, John King, who died
Monday in Wilmington, told a strange
story about the circumstances of his
brothers. demise. According to his
narrative John King worked in lum-
Der camp in Somerset and when he
became i'll was taken to Wilmington.
After his death person who had been
caring for him disappeared and soon
afterwards it was discovered that a
bank book had disappeared from
Kings trunk. King had $1,000 on de-
posit in a Greenfield, Mass, bank.
The officers of the institution were
notified not to allow the money to be
withdrawn. A roll of bills which
King is said to have had also disap-
peared.

Railroad Commissioners to
be Appealed to.
MEET IN TOWNSHEND
Mill'owners Are Absolutely Unable to
Ship Enough Lumber to Pay Their
Employes-Miserable transportation
Facilities

A meeting of the saw.mill owners
and ber.dealers of the West River
valley will be held this afternoon at
the Townshend Inn. The lumbermen
are dissatisfied with the shipping ia
cilities afforded by the West River
railroad which is the only route by
which they are able to market their
products. There are millions of feet
of lumber waiting to be shipped and
not enough is marketed to pay the
costs of the laborers, and many of the
saw.mill owners are forced to borrow
money, giving as security liens on
their lumber, to pay the help.
1t is expected that all the dealers
in the valley, which is about 3s, will
be present at the meeting. The men
intend to petition the railroad COM
missioners to take some action against
the Central Vermont railroad COM
pany to compel it to furnish ears to
transport the lumber. There is some
talk that unless the Central Vermont
company makes some effort to relieve
the congestion the decree of the court
will be reopened by which the Central
Vermont road gained possession of the
Brattleboro and Whitehall company by
agreeing to handle the traffic in ac-
comodation to the needs of the pat
rons of the road. Many of the lumber
men are owners of Brattleboro and
stock.
Two of the largest shippers on the
West River road are the B. s. Gallup
Lumber company and the Jamaica
Lumber company. Albeit these con-
Germs have cut quantities of lumber
the past winter they have shipped
practically none and are at a loss to
know what to do to overcome the ap-
parent "don't care cuss' attitude Of
The railroad management. The indus
trial welfare of the whole eastern por.
ion of this county is closely allied to
he numbering interests. Brattleboro
business men are naturally interested
n the fight which the lumbermen are
preparing to make against the Central
Vermont and will no doubt do every
hing in their power to bring about de-
ent transportation facilities. 1t is
lot improbable that the lumbermen
will ask the Brattleboro board of trade
o take hand in the matter.

MEN OF NOTE.

Now that Leslie Mortimer Shaw no

time VIII be explained That Mr.. Shaw
was not popular with his fellow-members
Of the Cabinet was a fact that used ta
give the President no little concern Be
tween the Iowan and Secretaries Root and
Taft there was a particular lack Of cor
dial esteem. Mr. Shaw so frequently
found himself antagonized by these two
that he more than once was on the point
Of making an open issue with them.
About this time last year there was a
threatened clash between him and Score
tary Root over the German tariff, which
came near leading to a rupture. The Sec
rotary of State, after appealing I'm vain
20 the Senate for "a reciprocity treaty with
Germany in order to avert serious injury
TO American trade, turned TO the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury with the suggestion
for a liberalization Of the customs regula-
tons IN their application to German i'm
ports 70 tho end that the German tariff
authorities would extend for a year their
old schedules TO American live stock and
meat products generally At first Mr.
Shaw stOutly demurred, and finally Score
tary Root went over his head 70 the Pres
ident. securing quietly an order 20 the
tariff appraisers here and abroad 90 put a
valuation upon certain goods from Ger
