thrown out of the convention. In the spirit of harmony prevailing here tha. an eastern man will be selected for tn e vice presidency, New York is sorely candidates, all of whom are right after  the job. The Ollie James boom is really a lively one and from a sentimental standpoint he is the choice. Politically he is not regarded as a strength to the ticket. The vice presidency is in the hands of the eastern delegates, and with Gray of Delaware out they can almost do as they please.

indorsed by convention after convention of organized labor and that every branch of labor had adopted resolutions urging the reforms.
 MT. Gompers said the blanks also repre- scented the views of the executive council Of the American Federation of Labor.
 MT. Williams called MT. Gompers' atten- ton to the absence in the blanks he had submitted of any reference to notice in connection with issuance of temporary in functions MT. Gompers contended that he had argued against any use of prelim- | nary injunctions in labor disputes. | Senator Stone of Missouri asked MT. 1 Campers whether the original injunction I pink purporting to have been drawn by | Pfsident Roosevelt and Secretary Taft, bun which the republican convention re susd to. adopt, would be satisfactory to orgallzed labor.
 'ne American Federation of Labor not cnly Noes not want that declaration but wouldbe opposed to it," was the reply of , MT. Gtnpers.
 Many Arguments.
 JamesADuncan, first vice president Of 1 the Amdican Federation of Labor added the welgf of his argument in support of what MT. fompers had said
 E. R. FVler, representing the Brother hood of Locomotive Bremen, Engineers and Trainnen, presented and argued for the identical injunction plank he laid be- fore the republican convention. The plank indorses the Night of laborers to strike and to persuade others to do so. At the conclusion of MT. Fullers re- marks, Governdr Haskell called upon John Mitchell, the labor leader, and the prospective vice. presidential candidate, to address the committee.
 MT. Mitchell said he had purposely re- trained from speaking because the ques-
 ton was one needing forceful and impas-
 stoned discussion. and his personal ex-
 perience was such as almost to preclude
 him from such impassioned discussion.
 MT. Mitchell declared himef a democrat
 and in a general way urged the commit
 tee to prepare such platform as could
 receive the support of labor.
 At th!s point Chairman Haskell an- nounced the appointment of the sub-com-
 mittee following, 19 instead of +. as orig
 inally proposed: Haskell of Oklahoma,
 chairman; Martin of Alabama, Thomas of
 Colorado, Alschuler of Illinois, Lamb of
 Indiana, Sullivan of Iowa, Beckham of

NEW ITALIAN LINER.
Duca dcgli Abruzzi Expected in
 To-day,

s. s. "Duca degli Abruzzi,' Is expect ed to arrive in New York this morning on her maiden trip from Naples after a very fast and successful voyage
 This steamer Is the latest addition to the fleet of the Naveazione Generale Italiana of which Messre Hartfield So- lari & Co. are the agents. and is des- tined to the North American trade ply ing between Naples and Genoa to New York and vice-versa.
 She was launched on the 5th of May, 1907, from the shlpyards of Muggiano at Spezla, Italy, and after being equip ped at Genoa. went out for the speed trial on the 22nd of December last when she developed an average speed of 1L75 knots per hour with a maximum of 1892 knots.
 She is a twin screw steamer equip ped with two quadrupe compound en- zines of 4.200 horse power each built by the firm of Nicola Odero; she has displacement of 10000 tons. The "Du- ca degli Abruzzi' can accommodate eighty first-class passengers and 1,SO0 steerage passengers. Every modern ap- pliance for the comfort of the pas sengers. and tending to make the travel as pleasant as possible is to be found on this steamer. In fact the state rooms. the dining and smoking rooms, the parlors as well as the reception hall and the main stairway are really luxurious; everything is profusely dec orated with that fine art in which the Italians always excell. at the head of the main stairway large portrait of the Duke of Abruzzi is to be seen.
 As for the steerage, no other steam CT al present in the traffic of the Med iterranean can equal this new trans- Atlantic vessel. The main purpose of the builders has been to afford the steerage passengers roomy. well aired quarters: and it can he said that they have fully succeeded.
 The "Ducca eyli Abruzzi" is the first of the six new, fast steamers which the Nayigazione Generale Italiana is build ing to enter the service. anu she will closely be followed by the Re Nittorie and the Regina Elena, the Principe Umberto. the Ducca Iii Genova and the Ducca n Aosta of which the first three are destined for the South Amer ican trade while the others will ply between Italy and New York.

Taking Fall Out of the Doctor.

It has been a source of questioning
and remark why The good Dr. Holton,
who is holding up the entire state BY
the tail to keep it out of the bog, let his
own bailiwick, Brattleboro, get
into the bog before he found
That goodly town, to drop metaphf
plastered with smallpox pustulG., a = .ore
the goodly doctor knew that the tai had
got away from him and the carcass was
saturated with muck, before his eyes
of health knew chicken-pox from small
pox-or was the whole blame laid upon
the small fry Of practitioners outside the
board of health?
Only few months ago the goodly doe.
tor yanked Burlington by the. tail out of
the dangerous practice of drinking. its
own sewage, as was alleged He adver-
tised in great agony that Burlington was
a place 20 Keep away from because its
water was not potable. The people of
Burlington had not suffered any harm,
nor any disturbance of health, but the
boss of the board of health knew they
had The goodly doctor warned them not
to drink water, nor to serve it to stran-
gers on pain of having all the faucets
posted. He kept up the advertising for
months and months at the expense Of
the state-not the doctor-and Burling-
ton kept on drinking it's alleged sewage
md suffering not bit of trouble.
We wonder if Dr. Holton is warning
people now to keep away from his own
own of brattleboro as the smallpox
spreads among its inhabitants because Of
ignorance or neglect.

inches from the old dam there is q row OF
sockets, each of Pinch pipe and IS inches
ON centers where pins are placed to pro-
tect the boat when the Canal company's s
employees make repairs on the 6ashboards.
For the purpose CT holding the fash.
board in position another row of sockets,
II inches in front Of the first row and Is
inches on centers, with pinch sockets
leeway, is set on S-inch channel iron
which is set in concrete The idea Of the
channel iron is to make it easy for the
men to slide the pins along for holding
the fashboards and find where the pins
belong Inside the dashboard pin socket
there is a loose socket of TX inch pipe,
and this is to have something to take out
for the removal Of the dirt and residum
that collects in the sockets. The top Of
the flashboards is two feet above the crest
of the dam.
For the protection Of the Walpole bank
the crest of the dam was built l.07 feet
higher for length of 40 feet on that side
there may be too feeble to do damage. On
the Bellows Falls side this wearing action
is offset by the position of the canal which
takes away the surplus height of the other
side.
The approximate cost of the dam was
s50, 600, and the time employed on its con-
.truction was about four and half
months While the cost of the dam itself
was considerable yet greater still was the
.ost of forming coffer-dams, erecting
wooden molds for the concrete, fumes
md temporary waterways. 1t is estimat-
d that this work cost about three times
Is much as the material used on the per
structural work of the new dam.

Thanks to Fits.
BARRE Times.)

The office of attorney general in Yer
mont has been so thoroughly linked with
the name of Clarke G. Fits that it win
take more than the usual caution to use
the new designation of Attorney General
Sargent, the office having been assumed
yesterday by John G.. Sargent of Lud
low The new attoney-general is fit for
the place, which is perhaps saying all
that is necessary.
At this time it may be proper to ex-
quite general satisfaction which the peo-
pie of Vermont have felt with his ser
vice. There may have been localized
dissatisfaction with some particular acts
of Mr.. Fits, but we believe that in the
main his terms have placed the office of
attorney general on high plane, both as
regards integrity of purpose and legal
skill.
