Washington, Dee. 5.-Close friends oI
Senator j. B. Foraker of Ohio are au-
thority for the statement that the sen.
ator has prepared an exhaustive defense
from the attack made upon him during
the presidential campaign for his con
nection as counsel with the Standard Oil
company, while serving as United States
senator. This is in the form Of a speech,
but if delivered it will not be until after
December l6, when the Senate viii take
vote on the Brownsville bills, which
were debated last spring One Of these
bills is Senator Foraker's own and pro-
vides for the reinstatement Of the col
ored battalion of the twenty fifth infan
try on the basis of the innocence OF the
men Of the charge Of shooting up the
town. The other bill, that Of the com
nittee on military affairs, to which SEN
ator Lodge has subscribed, provides for
reinstatement upon evidence Of innocence
satisfactory to the president. It Is un-
derstood that Senator Forakers speech
on the STANDARD Oil matter win treat
rather warmly Of the instigators Of the

had read or seen the play produced, came
real appreciation Of the genuineness OF
the reader in this part. Mr.. Williams
excellent memory never failed him once
during the presentation, and at no time
was he at loss for his lines. III seemed
almost like second nature to him. That

PRESIDENT ANNOYED.
No Truth in Stories OF Recent Narrow
Escape.

Washington, eDc 5.--The president
has expressed his annoyance at stories
appearing in the newspapers crediting
him with narrow escapes from injury.
"The recent stories given out about the
president having lad narrow escapes
from accidents, first with an automo-
bile and now with the fire engine, are
pure Inventions il the wording Of an
official bulletin issued at the White
House yesterday.
$50 far as the president il aware no
automobile ever came near him. If it
did the president did not notice it. As
for the fire engine matter, the whole
story is absurd and the newspapers
have simply been imposed upon. The
presidents carriage WINS drawn up
against the curb on one side of New
Hampshire avenue, which is broad and
which at the time was deserted The
fire engine was against the curb on
the other side of the street and half
a block distant when the FIRE engine
horse fell. The fire engine could not
have hit the presidents carriage if it
had tried"
A morning newspaper Yesterday
printed long detailed story of how
on Wednesday the driver of FIRE en-
CINE threw his horses when they wefe
hurrying to FIRE at the residence of
Representative Loudon of Illinois, to
avoid hitting the presidents carriage,
which was passing at the time.

The Senate yesterday afternoon killed
the bill granting municipal suffrage to

had spoken on the subject,
Senator Flagg led of the opposition to
the bin in what he termed "the interests
Of peace" although he prefaced his state
ment with, Il would do anything in this
world for the female" He thought If
the bill were passed ii would mean war
between husband and wife and would
result in twice as many divorces as there
are now Senator Finn OF Windsor said
that he had never heard a good reason
why a woman who paid taxes should not
have a voice In the matter of the ex-
penditure of the taxes. Mr.. Lewis Of
Lamoille said he was for the ladies, first,
last; and all the time. Senator McLam
said he was not a new advocate to the
idea and had favored it for years. SEN
ator Thayer favored the bill.
Senator Donoway believed that the wo-
men who were taxed should have a voice.
He also answered the argument that the
women did not take advantage of their
privilege now to vote for school com
missioners by saying that if anything
went wrong they would be there at the
polls,
Senator Cory of Washington had the
greatest respect for woman, but believed
her sphere to be the home. He said he
wished the senators would be honest in
their voting, He said he would hate to
have il said that fine looking woman
with smooth tongue had come and put
the Senate to sleep, and stated that she
had not put him TO sleep.
Senator Butler called attention to the
fact that the women did not take ad-
vantage Of voting for school directors and
he did not believe that person lhould
be given the privilege Of the ballot if
he or she did not use H. Senator McLam
told how the women in South Ryegate
turned out to a meeting and voted in

ponents Of the measure went out and

W0RKMEN DISCHARGED
FOR THEIR NEGLIGENCE
Central Vermont Railroad Dismissed
Them from Service, Reports the
State Railroad Commission.

The state board of railroad commits
sioners reports that the Central Vermont
railroad company has discharged flag
man and the conductor on one train and
the whole crew of another train, because
of alleged failure to do their duty, which
caused collision between southbound

| freight at East Granville on October 2,
/ last. The passenger train No. 2 had
stopped because Of the setting Of the air.
brakes due to the breaking of q valve on
the mail car. A fagman was sent back
to warn the freight train due to leave
Roxbury ten minutes after the passenger
| train.
| The flagman went about forty rods,
finds the commission, and signaled the
approaching freight train, but he did not
20 far enough to prevent the collision in
spite Of the fact that the engineer of
the freight set his brakes. The engineer
was not able to avert collision, and
the 100 passengers on the stalled pas
senger train were badly shaken up, while
Martin Moore, chef on the buffet, got
one leg scalded, probably from hot cof-
fee"
The commissions findings on the case
are:
1T results from the foregoing, and we
find, that this collision, which might
have resulted in the loss of many lives,
was due to the combined negligence of
the fagman in not exercising proper dill
genee, and the negligence of the train
crew on said extra as in leaving Rox-
bury sooner than ten minutes after No.
2 passed there, in violation of said rule.
dThe railway company has recognized
this negligence in discharging the flag
man on No 2 and the whole crew Of

charged the conductor on No. 2 because
of his claimed failure to see to it that

Reported by Orange County
Grand Jury
AFTER A BRIEF SITTING
County Court Excused Seven Jurors Be-
cause Of Deafness-0ne Case Tried
and Another Is Now Being
Heard.

Chelsea, Dec. 5.--After a sitting OF
three days the Orange county grand
Jury has reported two true bills and
two bills not found. After reporting,
they were excused for the term. At
toiney General John G. Sargent Of
Ludlow was before me grand jury We'd
nesday and Thursday presenting the
evidence in the case OF State VS.. Mike
Niemeek, n Polander, who was bound
over to county court in September, be.
ing charged with the murder of a fell
low Polander at STAFFORD. The evil
dence in this case was given through
an interpreter, Joseph Golden of
Springfield, Mass.
At the opening OF court there were
seven of the petit jurors excused, most
of them on account of deafness, which
is a striking testimonial to the fact
that the board Of civil authority which
constitute the committee who nomi-
nate tine jurors in each town fail to
recognize in every aspect what the
qualifications. of juror should be.
The first civil case ready for trial
was an action for false warranty grow
ing out Of horse trade, the parties be-
ing Felix Dumontier VS.. Felix Johndro,
both OF Bradford. This was a short
case and only occupied the attention
of the court one-nalf day, going to the
jury Wednesday afternoon. After
about two hours deliberation they re-
turned through their foreman, D. r.
Bradbury Of Washington, a verdict for
the plaintiff to recover S60.42 and costs.
j. s. Williams of Bradford was coun-
sci for the plaintiff and David S. Con-
ant Of Bradford, counselp for the de-
fendant.
The second civil case which is now
or trial and which bids fair to take up
two or three days in next week is a
case Of trespass, the parties being Gard
ner S. Felendy Of Fairlee VS.. /. d. An
drews of Lisbon, N. Fl. One of the

paneling the jury which exhausted all
