Luther B. Wilson, of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, who is presiding
over the sessions of the New Jersey

views with Governor Post, that such
legislation will not be favored by him. To
After expressing the belief that some
political combination akin to the
Louisiana Lottery Company was back
of the Porto Rican bill, Bishop Will
son said:
81 visited all the important cities
and towns on the island just before
coming here, and not only was l sur
prised at the progress made in the
schools and higher institutions of
learning, but the eagerness of the
young people to learn was very graft
flying. The future of Porto Rico is
very bright. 1 have the utmost hope
for the island, and the only explana-
ton 1 can give of the action of the
House of Delegates is that, the reac-
tionary party has gained power"
Bishop Wilson said that the opposi-
ton to American annexation had new
err abated on the part of the ultra
Spanish party, but he feels confident
that this feeling is not shared by the
majority of the people. He looks upon
the Porto Rican lottery bill as an in
dication of the unceasing activity Of
the gambling element.

brought credit upon him, but which he
modestly asserted were not noteworthy IN
his own estimation. One instance took
place about 20 years ago. The main wit.
ness had died and the testimony OF that
witness, taken a year previous, was want
ed in court. Mr.. Chase sent team to
his home after the shorthand notes and
without having an opportunity to look
them over he read them without a break
from o'clock until noon, and the pre-
siding Judge said he regarded the accom-
plishment as remarkable.
The other incident took place not many
years ago. A Massachusetts, judge died
in his chair Immediately after delivering
his charge to the jury in a case involving
large land values in North Adams. The
late H. T.. Oatman of Pittsfield was re-
porter and in the excitement of the mo-
ment he burst blood vessel and became
totally blind. An appeal to the supreme
court on law points involved in the
judges charge made it necessary that the
stenographic notes be written out; After
the efforts of expert stenographers in
a year was consumed, Mr.. Chase wrote
out the entire charge to the satisfaction
of all parties. Much space was devoted
to this achievement by the stenographic
journals of the country.
Mr.. Chase gives much of the credit for
his success as stenographer to his moth
er, who was his only instructor aside from
his shorthand books. She read to him
and he read back to her from his notes
the four volumes of Blackstone's COM
mentaries on the English law, the four
volumes of Kent's commentaries on the
American law, the Vermont statutes,
Gritty on pleading and other law volumes.
Charles S. Chase was born in Whiting
ham, May 10, 1855, and was one Of five
children of Abraham and Catherine
Reed Chase. He lived in Nottingham
until last summer, when he came to Brat
tleboro and formed law partnership
with w. r. Daley of Bennington. He
studied law in the Offices of H. N. Hicks
and H. w. Brigham and was admitted to
the bar in September, $780, soon after
ward opening an Office in Nottingham.
He held the Offices of superintendent
of schools, school director, town treasurer
and other offices in Nottingham, and for
30 years he was justice of the peace. He
was elected state senator at the last cleo
ton, in 1906; was chairman of the ju..
dietary committee after the resignation OF
w. Fl. Taylor, who was elected superior
Judge, chairman of the committee on
state and court expenses, chairman of the
committee on rules, a member of the COM
mittee to reform the system of bookkeep-
ing in the state auditors Office, and chair
man of the joint special committee to in
vestigate the state commissions
On Jan. 10, 1881, Mr.. Chase married
Carrie E. Brigham Of Boston. They have
three children, Robert NJ, merchant in
Nottingham; Harry B., senior in Phil
lips Exeter academy, and Paul A., Brat
tleboro schoofboy. A brother, Oscar r.
Chase, is deputy sheriff in Nottingham.
Another brother is DR.. Augustus L.
Chase of Randolph, Mass, who has an
office in the state house in Boston, and
sister is Augusta L., wife of G. A. Boyd
of Readsboro.

A COURT REPORTER
FOR THIRTY YEARS
Charles s. Chase Has Served That
Length of Unrestricted Short
hand at Home with the Aid of
His Mother Reading Law.

With l20 terms OF court to his credit
in which 10 murder cases have been dis
posed Of Charles S. Chase of this town
official stenographic reporter for the coun
ty courts of Windham and Bennington
counties, has. record which is in many
respects unusual. For 80 years he has
been the court reporter for Bennington
county, and within the same period he
has had 25 years of experience in Wind
ham county, in which Brattleboro is To-
Gated, and five years of experience in Rut'
land county.
In May, 1878, Judge Walter G. Dunton
of Rutland appointed Mr.. Chase reporter
for Windham and Bennington counties
and in the following month he began the
work at Manchester, in Bennington coun-
ty. Court was held in each county twice
each year, making four terms a, veal. at
which his services were required. After
a year or two he was given Rutland county
in place of Windham county, but five
years later he returned to Windham
county, which he had had in conjunction
with Bennington county ever since.
Besides reporting these regular terms
of court Mr.. Chase has officiated as re-
norter at several extra terms in other
counties and in many chancery and re-
ferred cases, the longest Of which was the
Bennington battle monument case, which
was an action brought in behalf of Charles
M. Bliss, who pushed the monument en-
terprise to completion, against the Ben
nington battle monument association tc
recover for services rendered. The testi
mony in this case exceeded $3.50, 600 words
and the hearing lasted 66 days. He also
has reported several patent cases:
Of the 10 murder cases reported by him
Is were in Bennington county and toul
in Windham county. In only two cases
were the respondents convicted of muir
der in the first degree, and in only one
case, the Mary Rogers case, was the re-
spondent executed. The respondent II
the other case, Edison Fuller of Benning
ton, committed suicide in the state prison
in 1881. In addition to the murder cases
Mr. Chase has reported hundreds OF less
serious criminal cases.
In this work Mr.. Chase has acquired
a. wide acquaintance with the legal fra
ternity, and he has had many amusing
experiences. Himself lawyer, he hal
in the past % years appeared as attorney
in many cases in the Deer6eld valley ano
elsewhere. Ever since he was a yount
man he has been obliged to go around II
wheel chair, and this has made him
conspicuous figure in the court rooms.
In talking with Boston Globe reporter
Mr.. Chase mentioned two instances which

]. G.. Stafford Would Like to Serve.

j. G. Stafford is being urged by his
friends to become a candidate for town
representative To their suggestions Mr..
Stafford replies that he would like to serve
his town in that capacity, as he feels
that every citizen should be ready to per
form his duty to his town when called
upon but he says he is not certain as
to his competency. This attitude certain
ly will appeal to the public generally as
in Mr.. Stafford's favor, whatever other
views they may entertain, Mr.. Stafford
is farmer, and as farmers candidate
there is an argument in his favor, as
every republican representative since the
term of George A. Hines, who was elect
ed in 1894, has been a lawyer. Col. Kit
redge llaskins was representative in 1896
and 1898, Judge H. l.. Waterman in 1900,
Attorney General G. c. Fits in 1904 and
Judge L. w. Gibson in 1906 DR.. James
Conland, democrat, represented the
town in 1902. Lawyer James +. Hooker
has already declared himself candidate
this year. Mr.. Stafford is ready speak
er, and at the last town meeting he made
a favorable appearance and was powerful
factor in molding the sentiment of the
voters. With Mr.. Stafford and Mr..
Hooker in the field an interesting cam
paign would be assured.

ROAD COMMISSIONERS MEETING
That for Windham County Will Be
Held in Brattleboro April /.

State Highway Commissioner Charles
w. Gates OF Franklin has arranged his
schedule of county meetings for road com
missioners. and the meeting OF Wlndhan
county commissioners will take place in
Brattieboro Wednesday, April |. In
circular letter calling attention to these
meetings the state commissioner says
The provisions OF the law OF 1906, and
the conditions created by it, will have
permanent place in the discussions
Special attention will be given to points
raised, or questions asked by the commits
sioners.
"The selectmen of each town are special
ly urged to be present at these meetings
as their duties under this law will be
fully discussed. call their attention in
particular to the last half of section a.
act Ill of the Laws of 1906:
"'No town shall be entitled to receive
any money from the state. in any yeal
until said town has complied with all the
provisions of this act All money appro
priated under this or apportloned to
towns, cities, or Incorporated villages
shall in each year on or before, Septem
Der be laid out and expended by the
road commissioner of each town or wi,
lage or city, or by some person designated
by the selectmen of town or trustees OF
village or street commissioner OF a
city subject to the approval of the state
commissioner. The state highway com.
missioner may extend the time limit OF
the first year of any biennial term on
request of the road commissioner and Sc,
lectmen of any town if he is satisfied
there is good and sufficient reason for the
request
aplease note: There is no provision
whereby the time limit may be extended
this wear, and there may be cases where,
owing to scarcity of labor or other rea-
sons, the selectmen may wish to take adj
vantage of the provisions of this section.
It will be to our mutual advantage to dis
cuss this at the meeting"

Senator Dillingham; Worth Watching

Death not only removes old figures from
the Senate and brings forward new ones,
but it also changes the relative import
ance of those who remain. Senator Proc
tors death raises Senator Dillingham; Of
Vermont into a position of greater in
fuence as the senior senator from that
state. Senator Dilingham's present term
will expire next year, but there seems to
be no question whatever Of his reelection.
He first entered the Senate in 1900 on
being chosen to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Senator Morrill,, and in
1902 he was elected for the full term in
which he is now serving. During the
eight years Of his service Senator Dill
lingham has not unnaturally been over
Swallowed by Senator Proctor He is n
man of unassuming traits. But he is
held in high personal regard and is con
sidered a man of ability and sound judg-
ment. As chairman of the immigration
committee he holds position Of much
Importance and is also member of the
judiciary committee, appointment to
which is so eagerly sought by the lawyers
of the Senate. His career AZ the senior
senator from Vermont should be worth
watching. Washington correspondent of
