STRONG on DEFENSE.
Carleton displayed exceptional
strength on the defensive. The
Methodists demonstrated that their
weakness Is IN not forming interfer-

to break through and
stop plays before they were well
under way. There was no interfer-
ence for end runs, though Brennan,
Pipkin and Nations occasionally I

Between the halves, both Garlic

TREASURER AND TRUSTS

New York Oct. 2.-Norman f.
Mack, chairman of the Democrat,
national committee, issued state.
m"nt in which he gave list of
trusts with which he said George r
sheldon, treasurer of the Republican
national committee, was connected.
II" says that Sheldon has been
connected with these trusts for the
last ten years. His statement is as
! follows:
These corporation affiliations of
George X. Sheldon for the past ten
years make interesting reading, in
view of recent developments.
81 wish to recall that Governor
odell In 1902 refused to permit the
party leaders to put Sheldon in nom,
ination for lieutenant governor.
But while the Republican party has
refused to put Mr.. Sheldon's name
up for public office, il has for the
identical reasons OF this refusal
elected him for its campaign fund
collector, which cannot he denied
"Most of the corporations with
which Mr.. Sheldon is identified are
capitalized In the millions. How
much 81 their stocks is of the LIQUID
variety can be easily ascertained.
yet Mr.. Roosevelt has accepted him
and his resignation was not deman-
ded when Mr.. Dupont was invited to
step down. Mr.. Dupont was identi-
He'd with one trust, while Mr.. Shell
don is ut the present time identified
with no less than seventeen prom
lnent financial concerns. One of
these, the Bethlehem Steel company.

oioyes for the past sixteen years.
Mr.. Sheldon is director of that
company. He Is also treasurer and

irm known as the mystery of Wall
street 1t is but n few years back
since he was prominently identified
With the whiskey trust. A glance
1t his connections for the past ten
'ears will explain the reason of his
present position"
The corporations with which Mr..

o Mr.. Mack, are as follows: II

FOR A GRAND OLD MAJORITY.
Of the County Organize to
Get Out the Vote.

If the republicans of Windham county
do not roll up big majority for the re-
publican state and national tickets in
September it will not be because Of any
lack of organization. The republican
leaders fully appreciate the fact that ap.
athy is the principal thing to contend
with. With view to overcoming this
attitude representative republicans from
the various towns in the county assem-
bled in Odd Fellows hall in Brattleboro
at II o'clock yesterday at the call of the
republican state committee of which E.
w. Gibson of this town is a member, and
there they listened to stirring addresses
by Lieutenant-G Governor George III.
Prouty of Newport and Congressman Kit
tredge Haskins of Bratleboro. 1t was de-
cided to create working organizations in
every town, village, ward, gore and school
district. Judge Gibson presided by vir-
tue of his position on the committee and
introduced Lieutenant-Govenor Prouty
as the first speaker.
Governor Prouty emphasized the i'm
portance of large vote in this state by
reason of the effect it would have upon
other states in the union, referring to
Vermont as being a barometer of the
feelings Of the people throughout the
country and stating that September was
the time when Vermont really votes for
president. He said: eve are in pecu-
liar situation in this campaign in that up
to now there is no issue between the
democrats and republicans and hardly

$5,e99 STOLEN
West Chesterfield Woman
Lost That Wednesday.

Mrs. Persis Thompson of West Ches.
terfeld. y. H.. believed IN putting her
riches where moth and rust would not
eorrupt, but she neglected finding a
hiding place where thieves could not
break through and steal. As result
the burglars who entered her house
Wednesday secured S5.99a in bills from
bag which was secreted III a trunk,
Ave gold watches. including one set
with diamonds, several diamond rings
and other lewelry. The trunk from
which the money was taken contained

that the stolen greenbacks cannot help
smelling strongly of the odor OF moth.
balls The money was all IN United
States treasury notes. and Mrs. Thomp-
son counted ii over but few days
ago, removing one-dollar bill from
her bag.
She had never patronized banks very
much, preferring to keep her money
where she could handle it occasionally.
and whenever she left the house she
took particular pains TO lock the doors
securely. Between 10 and III Wednes-
day morning she went to the home OF
her daughter, Mrs. Edgar Davenport,
who lives about half mile away. Be
fore leaving she locked all the doors
and made doubly secure the one com
monty used by inserting at the bottom
a large spike in such way that IT the
door were unloc xed it could not be
pushed open. Mrs. Thompson then
climbed out of a window. After
spending the day with her daughter
returned home about 1880. She told
her great grandson, Harlan Amidon, to
climb in the window and remove the
spike from beneath the door, but the
boy could not fud the spike and dis
covered that the door was unlocked.
Mrs Thompson realized at once that
some one had been in the house and
soon found tangible evidence in sup,
port of her belief. The back door and
three others had been broken down, a
cupboard and sideboard had been
ransacked and several trunks, lnclud-
ing the one from which the money was
of a chisel, which the burglars had
found in the house.
The matter was at once reported to
Sheriff Tuttle of Keene, N. H., and he
with Deputy Sheriff c.
[. Knapp of Brattleboro. Thus far,
however, no trace of the thieves has
been found. Mrs. Thompson s house is
almost in the center of West Chester
field village. William Ford occupies |
me house on one side and A. G. Farr |
hat on the other. Mr. Farr's family |
was away during the day, but Mr.. Ford
was at home most of the time, but saw
40 one about the premises. Mrs.
Thompson is woman over 70 years
I'D and rather eccentric. She formerly
ived in Chesterfield and then went to
Boston, returning eight or ten years
100.

KENT WAS IN MARLBORO.
Information Received by Sheriff Will
kins Indicates This.

Information was received by Deputy
Sheriff A. w. j. Wilkins of Brattleboro
Sunday which indicates that Elroy
Kent, who escaped from the criminal
ward of the state insane asylum at
Waterbury, had been in Guilford and
Marlboro within a few days. A young
man in Guilford was hunting for cows
in a pasture one day last week. when
man came out of the bushes and
asked him what town they were in. The
man s description answers that of Kent.
After that a man called at house in
Marlboro early one morning and asked
for something to eat. The young
woman who answered his knock told
him to stand outside while she got him
some food. Just then team was heard
and the man went quickly into the
house. closed the door and stood where
he could not be seen from outside. He
was given seat at the table, but he
moved his chair to a position where
any person outside could not see him,
and ate not only what was before him
but also q mess of potatoes which had
been mashed for two hounds. Besides
being very hungry he acted suspiciously
and eyed a shotgun which hung on the
wall so closely that the young woman
and her father were afraid he would
make an effort to get it. Some pieces
of hay were clinging to the back of his
coat. and place was found in near
by barn where somebody apparently
had slept on some hay His descrip
ton was the same as that of the man
seen in Guilford. Deputy Sheriff Will
kins is confident that the man was
Kent and that he was working toward
his mothers home.

which must be at least 80 miles from the

are Manchester, Manchester Depot,
