SMALL P0X EPIDEMIC
CAUSES A SCARE
West Berlin's Fourteen Cases are Being
Watched as Closely as Possible
DR.. Hoiton Visits The Place.

The authorities in this city are a bit
nervous over the breaking out of small
pox in the village Of West Berlin, where
there are 20 many granite plants, az IT
is feared that there Is so much traffic
between that place and Barre that the
disease may be brought here. DR.. II. y.
Holton OF Brattleboro, secretary Of the
state board Of health, was in town yes-
terdav afternoon having been called to
this section by the small pox scare. He
reports that there are fourteen cases OF
the disease In West Berlin
The disease has been spreading there
for Two or three weeks, being first di-
aenosed as chicken pox. Robert 0ilpin
was the first TO be taken sick, hut the
attack was very light and there il some
doubt If he reaiiy had small p0x. Ar
thur Hewett, son Of the town clerk, was
taken with the same trouble and after
going to Connecticut for a visit was
qmarantined there for some time. When
Or. Holtnn looked over the patients
sick yesterday he pronounced them to
be suffering with small pox
In the house Of Fred Rice, ont Of
the village a short distance, there are
four cases both Mr.. and Mrs. Rice
beng III and their two sons, Frank
and Guy. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
Adams are i'll at their home. Other
cases are ~ follows: John Croney, Mrs.
NJ. g. Keyes, Bert Dawson There are
also some other cases in the town.
These places are quarantined and an
effort win be made to keep the disease
confined to that village. The Central
Vermont railway has been notified not
20 stop its trains in West Berlin to
prevent persons infected from boarding
the cars.
Ie is claimed here that already one
man has slipped the West Berlin quar-
antine and come to this city. The mans
name Il Cleary. II IS understood that
Cleary's child was sick with the dis
case but not seriously so. The local
health authorities have taken no ae-
tion vet, but the man has been told
TO absent himself from the street and
remain indoors. What action the state
board win take Is uncertain.

MISTAKEN IDENTITY
GALLEANrS DEFENSE
Two Men Who Resembled Him Closely
Were Presented to Witnesses For
Prosecution, Who Said They
Could Not Be Mistaken.

Friends in this city of Luigi Cal
leani, who was tried in Patterson, n. j.,
this week on the charge OF melting to
silk workers riot in that city five years
ago, received telegram this morning
stating that the jury reported dis.
agreement and that SEVEN were for ae.
quittal and five for conviction
The defense entered by Galeanis at
toneys was that Of mistaken identity.
a dispatch from Patterson tells Of it as
follows:
when the case was resumed yester*
day the defense brought forward two
men who had not previously been in
court. The two men were almost iden-
tical in appearance, and each bore II
striking resemblance to the prisoner.
Every witness for ti.a prosecution was
confronted with the two men and ask
ed whether he might nat have easily
mistaken either of them for GalIeafii,
but all insisted that they could not be
mistaken and that the prisoner was the
man they had seen heading the mob and
in the park.
@'The first witness called by the de-
lfense was Paul Sefro, VINO took part I'M
I the strike. Sexro swore that it was
MacGpueen, the anarchist now III the
Trenton state prison, that made an IN
cendiary address to the strikers at Bel
mont park and who afterward led them
! in tiieir attack on the mills. Mrs.
Adeltna Cappa Of Barre, VT, testified
that She took part in the strike n pateF-
son IN 1902 and that we had heard
Galleani speak at the Belmont park
meeting. She swore that the defendant
\ did not ineite the strikers t0 violence
| and said that while he was still speak
ing large majority of the crowd left
the park aud started for the mills. SO
that he could not have led the mob. She
said that when GalleaHi ceased speak-
ing there was only small number of
strikers left in the park.
Another dispatch reads. Paterson,
N. u, April 26.--Counsel for Luigi Cal
Ieani, the alleged Anarchist, on trial
here for rioting, atrocioas assault and
battery and malicious mischief, made an
attempt this morning to put their client
