Open Date.

Next Saturday was an open date
with the Bennington Baseball associa.
ton and Manager Corbett has filed 1t
with the Laureates Of Troy. The Troy
team has been completely re-orga-
nized and will come to Bennington
with strong nine. Davy, a pitcher,
who has officiated In some fast games
in and about Troy, will be in the box
for the visitors and other players with
good regulations will be on the team.
For the locals, Mcclure, who has
pitched two home games against Hoo
sick Falls and appears to be improv-
ing with every appearance on the
slab, will constitute the front end of
the battery and in all probability
little Malone, who caught for Ben
nington during a large portion of the
season last year, will be behind the
bat. The balance of the team will
conform TO the lineup in recent games
at Morgan Park, although the position
of short-stop remains untitled.

GRATING ALLEGED

Pittsburg. Dec. 22.-Following the

charges of alleged corruption in con-
Quoting the public affairs of this city

developments will transpire shortly.
In the meantime the people of Pitts.

rest of the nine men, who are all well
known. According to the best infor-
nation obtainable it is possible the
municipal scandal of San Francisco
will be insignificant when compared
to the alleged grating here. The fol-
lowing are the men accused:

Ferguson. Former President w. w.
Ramsey and former Cashier A A. Vii.

are also accused.
Information against all the seven
members of the council charges them
with conspiracy, corrupt solicitation
and bribery.
An additional information against
Brand, WATSON and Klein charges
them with bribery and corrupt solicit
tation.
From Brand, WATSON and Klein bail
in the sum of $4,000 each was de-
manded. The bail of the other four
members of the council was fixed at
$4,000 each.
The information against Ramsey
and Vilsack charges them with giving
Klein $4,000 as a bride. Bail de-
manded from each is $4,000.
While all the defendants were taken
by surprise when arrested each Sc
cured the necessary bail, which in the
aggregate amounted to $178,000.
All the informations were sworn to
by Tsnsard de Wolf, secretary of the
Voters league and formerly a polit-
zeal writer on local paper.

for reelection at the next election in

CASTRO'S RULE AT AN END
Former Dictator Of Venezuela Shorn
of FoWer.

Caracas, Dec 23-The end of the
rule in Venezuela of Cipriano Castro
has come. The dictator who had gov
erned the republic with a rod of iron
ever since he took forcible possession
of the Yellow House in Caracas in
1899, is now openly charged with con-
spiracy to compass the assassination
of the man he left at the head of the
republic when he sailed away on Nov
% from La Guayra, nominally to Sc
cure skilled medical aid in Berlin for
a malady of long standing, and is to-
day thoroughly discredited. The Bank
of Venezuela has cabled its CORE
spondents at Berlin and Paris cancel
ling the unlimited letter of credit
given 6 President Castro when he
left Venezuela for Europe, and no one
in Caracas believes he will ever dare
return to the capital. The Castro
cabinet has been forced to resign and
new and progressive ministry has
been appointed by Juan Vicente
Gomez, the acting president.

Shortly after Commissioner
Wheaton was firmly seated in office
he got the legislature to increase
the appropriation for the food and
dairy commissioners office from
$4,000 year TO $1,000 a year.
Now after short two years incum-
bency in that Office he asks modest
$4,000. 1t would seem that he
forgets there are other interests in
the state to be looked after. When
considering Commissioner Wheaton's
request it will be well for the CON-
ing legislature to remember that
after paying the present call OF the
state treasurer for $4,000 in
funding warrants, the state will still
owe something like $4,000 OF
these warrants which were made
necessary to meet the appropriations
of the last Legislature.
