The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1908-11-28

The story sent out from Washing
ton county that Congressman Plumley
might oppose Speaker Cannon for re
election is important, If true, but it is
doubtful if a new member would feel
justified in taking so decided a stand
even though he were personally in
clined that way. We believe that
Congressman Foster and Plumley will
both represent the wishes of the vast
majority of their constituents if they
do all in their power to defeat Can.
non Vermonters have little use for
a vulgar old tyrant who sits on the
lid and holds the fort against practi-
cally all measures of honest reform
and progress.

The legislature is to resume its sit
tings Monday evening. Contrary to
some Of the newspaper views ex-
pressed the Banner believes that the
present legislature is as hardworking
and conscientious a body as has ever
assembled at Montpelier. 1t is a
particularly Independent thinking
crowd and will not follow any of the
would-be leaders. It wants to be
shown, and when it is, is willing to
act even though that action is a
little out of the beaten line

broII the United States VIII LuTOPV
Toxic, Nov. 25.-The recent publish
ed interview with emperor William is
the most absorbing topic Of the day
here. Officials believe that the emper-

newspapers ridicule his statements.
All the newspapers inspired by the
opposition insist that the relations be
tween American and Japan are eX-
ceptionally friendly They attribute
the publication of the interview with
Emperor William to a desire to EN-
broil the United States in trouble with
Europe by creating strained relations.

OILERS ON
BRIDGES ARE GIVEN
PERMANENT JOBS
FreefioIders Instruct County En-
gineer to Prepare Plans for
ElwOOd Approaches.

Backed by the Democratic members
of the Joint committee On free bridges
of the Board of F~reeholders, three
bridge oilers have had their s66-a-month
jobs made permanent. They are John
Reinger, Michael Lee and Benjamin
Lunny, and worked as extras, the
two first named on the Jackson street
bridge and Lunny on the Clay street
bridge.
Freebooter Joseph Kenny read off the
names at last nights session on the
Bridge street bridge, and they were
readily confirmed with the votes OF his
party colleagues. Freeholders Emmett
j. Quinn, also of Essex county. and
O'Hare and Curry. of Hudson county
"These men should come under civil
service examination" objected free
holder Frank u. Ward.
1--WE haven't got hat yet in Hudson
county," came from Freebooter ofHare'
Mr.. Ward and jeremiah Baldwin, his
Republican colleague, voted against the
oilers.
The men had worked before on the
Essex side of the river, and by the
simple process of transferring them to
the other side their Jobs are maoe
permanent.
Minor repairs and improvements on
the three bridges named were orderd'
and the freeholders of the two m
divided the contracts between them
Another step was taken towards the
erection of the proposed new bridge at
Elwood avenue when County Engineer
George f. Drum was authorized to get
busy with the municipal authorities In
terested, so that plans may be made for
the approaches.

STEAL $4,000
IN JEWELS FROM
BOURNE MANSION
Gems Commodore's Daughters
Wore at Horse Show Taken
from Secret Vault.

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Jewels worth
more than $50, 900 have been stolen from
a secret treasure room in Commodore
Frederick @. B%ourne's mansion in Oak
dale, l.. I. The treasure room was
built when the mansion was erected
and it's existence was known only to
the family. The jewels were those
worn by Commodore Bourne's daugh-
tiers, Misses Marion, Marjorie and
Florence, at the Horse Show and opera
and other brilliant society functions.
The robbery took place while the
family was away. Following their de
parture repairs were made at the man
sion and detectives believe that in this
the treasure room was discovered.
Detectives, disguised as artisans, have
since been working with the men en-
ployed at the Bourne house, and it is
said they have centred their suspicious
on two men.
Not long ago burglars attempted a
raid on the Bourne country place, but
were driven away by the watchmen
after a pistol duel Commodore
Bourne's country place is called Indian
Neck Hall. 1t is a Long Island show
place.

BOARD OF WORKS
SUSTA|NS PAVING
VETO BY MAYOR
Wood Blocks Not TO Be Used
Where PrOperty-Owners
Oppose Them.

By a unanimous vote, the Board of
Works c~oncurred in Mayor Haussling's
veto OF a resolution adopted by the
board last week directing that bids for
wood blocks on Market and Ferry
streets by advertised for. Mr.. Denman
said he was convinced now that a large
majority of property-owners east of the
Pennsylvania Railroad tracks were OPP
posed to wood bloeks, and Mr.. Halpin
said that he favored the wood blocks
at first because he wanted pavements
laid Ia his section. But lie would do
what a majority of the people wanted.
President Book remarked that the peo-
pie In the east end OF the city did not
want any pavement.
Mr.. Denman presented a resolution
providing for paving Market street
from the Court House to the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad only with wood blocks,
and directing the engineer to advertise
for bids, to be opened September I, be-
tween 3:15 and $3.50 o'clock. The reso-
luton was adopted.
Bids were opened for paving South
Fourteenth street with wood blocks,
with this result American Creosote
Company. $3.50 a square yard; John F.
Stanley, $3.50; Van Keuren & Son,
1887; Newark Paving Company, $500,
and Jersey Paving Company, 1910.
The four asst named concerns stated
In their bid that they had the right to
use the United States Wood Paving
Company blocks, the concern that is
asserted controls all the rosin pro-
duced In this country. Chief Engineer
Sherrerd said one OF the bidders said
rosin was not used in its blocks and
claimed It could lay q pavement
cheaper and more durable han n
other concern could.
ct would like to have it noted"
said President Book. that no street
will be paved with wood blocks if a ma
tority of the property-owners in the
street oppose that pavement"
Mr.. Lambert offered a resolution,
which vas adopted, that Chief Engi-
neer Sherrerd be requested to make a
report of the cost of cleaning Newark
streets each year since 1905.
Mr.. Halpin asked about the relaying
OF tracks by the Public Service in
Ferry street, Inc City Counsel Nugent
said he was engaged on 1t, and would
report at the next meeting.
1t was voted to take title to 1874 acres
of land in the watershed at $40 per
acre.
Chief Engineer Sherrerd presented an
agreement of the city with the Public
Service Corporation about u new gas
contract for five years, the feature Of
which is that the gas company will
lay six miles Of gas mains each year
instead of four, as in the present con-
tract.
Commissioners Denman and Halpin
I'M Engineer Sherrerd went to the
Pequannock watershed last night for
a tour of inspection today.

KELLOGG BUSY ELSEWHERE
Absence Delays Taking Of Testimony
in Hartman Suit,

New York Dec. 2.-On account of
the absence of Frank B. Kellogg, the
special assistant attorney general,
who is engaged in the Standard Oil
case, no direct testimony was taken
at the hearing in the governments
suit to set aside the ownership by
the Union Pacific Railroad company
of it's alleged subsidiaries, the South
ern Pacific and the San Pedro, Los
Angeles and Salt Lake road, and pre-
vent the ownership by either the I'm
ion Pacific or the Oregon Short Line
of stock in the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe, the Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific roads, these roads
being deemed to be competitors Of the
Union Pacific.
When the hearing began c. A. Sew.
erance of st. Paul announced to Spe-
cial Examiner Sylvester G. Williams
that Mr.. Kellogg could not be present
and therefore it was not proposed to
take any new testimony. Instead,
counsel for the government caused to
be read into the minutes certain por-
tions of testimony taken before the.
Interstate commerce commission at
hearings that began in this city in
January Of last year and we're con-
tinued in various parts of the country.

AppARl1loN CAUSES DEATH
Sudden Demise of Woman After "See.
ina Ghost"

New York, Dec 2.-The death of
Mrs. Margaret Smith while she was
visiting friends in this city has all
the uncanny surroundings of a real
ghost story. Friends believe that she
expired after seeing an apparition,
for a moment before she fell to the
floor the woman raised her eyes to
the ceiling and exclaimed: "Why,
Frank, where did you come from?"
Only few hours previous Mrs.
Smiths favorite grandson, Frank
Kane, had died at his residence in
West Sixteenth street, but Mrs. Smith
had not been, advised of it.
Physicians who examined the body
pronounced her death as due to heart
failure, but those who witnessed the
dramatic scene think otherwise de-
spite their non-belief in spirits or
ghosts. Mrs. Smith was we'll to do
widow and lived at Seaford, N. ].

Canada Spends 5000, ,ooo, 900 for Rail.

Chicago, Dec. 2.-Quietly and de-
liberately Canada has been spending
something like $2OO,000,000 for canals
and railroads with view to handling
the great wheat business of the North
west, according to R. F. Sutherland.
speaker of the Dominion house OF
commons.
And now, says Canada's "unclei
Joe," the Dominion is in a position to
demand some of the attention which
its natural resources deserve. The
result, he intimated. would be that
the United States would lose the
grain business which has meart so,
much to the Northwestern states III
years past.
These remarks we're sandwiched'
into speech in which Speaker Suti-
crland lauded Scotland and the Scots
