BENNINGTON IS TO
HAVE NEW BASE
BALL FIELD
Association Decides to Lease
Morgan Lot
STAND TO Be ERECTED
New Ground VIII Be Pleasantly 10.
Gated and Easy Of Access For
Teams and Auto.

At meeting of the directors OF the
Bennington Base Ball association
Tuesday evening It was unanimously
decided to lease the Morgan field for
a baseball park.
This action is meeting with the
general commentator OF the baseball
enthusiasts who are confident that
the selection Of the new field will not
only give the association an excellent
diamond but that the location will
mean larger crowds and bigger gate
receipts than ever before.
The action taken by the directors
includes the erection OF a grand stand
capable Of seating 500 people. With
this advantage and the opportunity
that will be afforded automobile and
coaching parties to easily reach the
ground there is, in the opinion Of the
directors, no reason why the project
cannot be undertaken and successful
ly carried out.
To lease the grounds and build the
grand stand means an expenditure OF
between $500 and $500 and this means
a considerable cut into the funds Of
the association. The responses to the
stock subscription have been better
than expected and there is every rea.
son to hope that a considerable sum
will be raised in addition to the fund
now on hand.
With the team OF gentlemanly
young ball players selected by Mana
ger Corbett and comfortable pleas
ant ball field the people of Bennington
during the coming summer will not
have to go out OF town on the Satur-
day half holiday for an opportunity to
witness good, clean sport.

KING WILL REFUND MONEY
14Is Father Had Sold Some OF Portu.
gese Crown Jewels. .

Lisbon, April Fixing Manuel has
announced his intention Of personally
refunding the value of the missing
crown jewels to the royal treasury.
His attitude has caused universal ad-
miration. When King Miguel was de-
posed as ruler Of Portugal, In 1894. the
crown jewels, valued at $2,0OO,OO0,
were confiscated and deposited In the
bank Of Portugal as the property Of
the state.
The Republican press has recently
charged that absolute proof existed
that large portion of these jewels
had been sold without the consent of
Parliament. to meet the expenses OF
the royal house. King Manuel there
upon ordered that an inventory be Ia
ken, and this proved that jewels to the
value of $750,000 were missing. The
governor of the bank of Portugal was
questioned and admitted the removal
OF the precious stones, but declared
that the sale had been made upon the
urged demand of King Carlos who de-
sired to meet certain pressing debts
of the royal household in order to
avoid scandal.

TAFT SENTIMENT
TOTHE FRONT At
BURLINGTON
Preference Of Many Delegates
to State Convention
HApeooO IN LIME. LIGHT
Sage Of Peru Champions Third Term
For Roosevelt and Refuses to
Down.

Burlington, April 29.-The program
for the state convention as arranged
Is that the assembly should be called
TO order at 1880 this afternoon by
Thad M. Chapman Of Middlebury,
chairman OF the state committee, C. 8.
Dana Of New Haven to be temporary
chairman; l.. Il. Sherwin Of Chester
temporary secretary, and z. H. Albee
of Bellows Falls assistant secretary.
From all indications last night the
attendance would be one of the lar
gest ever noted at Vermont state
convention and the meeting promis.
ed to be lively one, as Marsh j..
Hapgood Of Peru who attempted to
stampede the first district convention
yesterday on behalf of an expression
In favor Of q third term for President
Roosevelt, declared that he would car.
ry the war into the state convention
with better organization behind him
and with resolution worded SO as to
create sentiment In its favor.
Taft sentiment prevails every
where and the preponderance In fav-
or OF the secretary was brought out
by a lively controversy that arose
while the committee on resolutions
was at work on the platform. The
latter document contained plank
which states specifically that the del
egates from the state convention OF
Vermont shall go to Chicago unin-
structed. w. A. Lord of Montpelier,
Washington county member Of the
committee. opposed this plank on the
ground that 1t did not belong there,
as, he said. document OF this char
acter should contain merely declar-
alton Of principles. On his motion
the offending plank was stricken out.
Taft buttons are being worn In
large numbers and the few delegates
who wore Hughes buttons at the out
set have been outnumbered 10 to 1,
Judging from the visible evidences OF
preference.
The state committee was In session
last evening, examining credentials.
The committee later announced that
the state convention for the nominal
ton Of state officers would be opened
at Montpelier the morning Of July 1,
at 10 o'clock
The committee on resolutions for
the convention follows:

life of the young King Manuel who, in

preparations to precipitate an on
slaught on the government shortly af-
ter Parliament opens. by reviving the
scandal in connection with the royal

Carlos from the state treasury. The
young king apparently sincerely de-

tigated by commission before the as

expressed his intention of repaying 10

II now leaks out that the secret of
the failure to comply with the kings
request was that the amount credited
to the king OH the treasury books was

but approximately $l,500,000. The
most sensational revelation, however,
is that the royal family actually receiv

to have gone to the royal house had

quickly changed front and made over
lures for an alliance whereby the
Francoists should act with the govern

Republicans and Dissidents.
The basis of the proposed deal was
that the government would forego its
attacks on the Franco. regime and the
Francoists refrain from revealing the

a compromise and Parliament opens

announced that the pope will hold a

PLoTTERs DYNAMITE BRIDGE
New $4,000 Steel Structure is Blown
Up, Badly Damaged

Fall River, Mass, April 27-The new
Bristol county steel bridge which is
to connect this city and the town of
Somerset, across the Taunton river,
was badly damaged by dynamite early
today. The bridge is being built at
a cost Of $4,000 and was to have been
completed in two months. 1t is es-
timated that loss to the contractors
will reach $4,000 by the explosion.
and 1t may amount to much more
should an inspection prove that the
foundations OF the bridge have been
disturbed.
The police investigation today show
ed that a charge of at least so pounds
of dynamite was placed on the granite
pier nearest the Fall River shore and
was fired by the use of long fuse.
To reach the pier the parties must
have used boat.
