ST. ALBANS CITIZENS
R0USED TO ACTION
Appoint a Committee to Investigate
Conditions For Relieving The
Water Shortage.

ST. Albans. Oct. 6-The crisis that
confronts ST. Adams in the rapidly ap
proaching failure OF her water supply
which has already closed the Central
Vermont railway shops and the Green
Mountain Packing company and will
tonight close the big milk plant Of the
Van Camp Packing company resulted
IL the calling of a public meeting OF
citizens at the city hall yesterday af.
ternoon, for the purpose of finding q
way II possible to get an ample and
quick supply Of water.
lt was the concensus OF opinion tnat
the city should not shut OFT the water
from either the large consumers or
househoders if there was any possible
way out of the difficulty. Ex Mayor
Fuller G.. Smith went into the matter
in all its details, to ascertain existing
conditions and suggested that as q
remedy the city consider at once the
proposition Of either tapping Silver lake
q fine large body of pure water in Fair.
field and piping il 10 the present reser.
voirs, distance Of about y miles. or
of installing q pumping plant az the
lake shore and running a pipe line to
the mains on the western limits Of the
city
Following an earnest discussion Of the
whole situation in which il was shown
that the emergency should be met
promptly, at whatever cost "A special
committee of three to investigate and
recommend a plan for immediate relief
was appointed, consisting Of the Hon.
Seldom G. Greene, William Kennedy, su.
perintendent Of motive power Of the
Central Vermont, and DR.. Haleck. This
committee will act in an advisory ca
pacity to the city council and will in.
spect these two projects. II is expect.
ed that the committee win report with
in p hours and the matter will tnen
be up to the council for action. One OF
the suggestions was the institution Of
pumping plant from the lake to be used
solely by the railroad and mannfactur
ing interests, il being Believed that If
this were done, that the reserve water
in the reservoir would be ample for do
nestle purposes.

PARKER's CHARGE.
That Standard Oil Contributed $780,
600 to Roosevelt's Committee.

Baltimore Mr., Oct. 6.--"When Presi'
dent Roosevelt so sweepingly condemn
cd Haskell for his alleged connection
with the Standard Oil company, he per-
maps forgot that in 1904 his, Roose'
velt's committee. received 100000
from the Standard oil company for the
campaign fund and spent IT,"
This statement by Judge Alton B
Parker of New York brought TO their
feet in a burst Of wild applause some
six thousand Democrats who assembled
last night in Richmond Market nall to
hear him, Senator John w Daniel OF
Virginia, a. G. Bacon of New York and
Others discuss the issues Of the cam
paign.
Continuing Judge Parker said;
"And when Chairman George b. Cor
telyou of the national committee in
that year went 10 the Standard Oil
company by appointment 70 ask for
money for the campaign fund he was
not satisfied with 100000 but wanted
more II may be true that Roosevelt
wrote TO Cortolyou telling him 10 send
tnat 100000 back to the Standard Oil
company but il is equally true that
Cortelyou did not send IL back but used
IL. And IL is also true that he was
never punished by Roosevelt for not
sending the money back. On the con-
trary, he was rewarded by being made
postmaster general Of the United States
and afterward secretary Of the treas.
ury,"

A GOOD THING COMING.
"Pierre Of The Plains" Scored The Hit
of The Season in Burlington.

That pierre Of the Plains" which
comes to the Barre opera house tomor
row, Wednesday, evening is strong
attraction is indicated by the following
fom today's Burlington Free Press;
pierre Of the Plains adapted for
the stage from Sir Gilbert Parker
novel, "Pierre and His People" with
Edgar Selwyn in the title role, appear.
ed at The Strong theatre last evening
and scored the biggest kind of hit.
Not in many moons has a Burlington
audience appeared so interested or sat
50 spellbound through stage produc-
tion and il might perhaps be safe to
say that MIR. Selwyn never appeared to
better advantage on any stage. Men
Of fiery blood and nerves of steel people
the play and the soft tints of the
boundless plains and the primival forest
lent it atmosphere. Tie action started
from the first line uttered in the first
act and continued on until the drop
Of the curtain on the last act, when
Pierre was seated alone, reading the
cards,
Mr.. Selwyn has surrounded himself
by an all-star cost, everyone being
known up and down Broadway. Else
Ferguson has been seen and admired
many times in New York audiences and
it was she that essayed the role of
Jen. She had the only female charac-
ter in the cast and was constantly on
the stage. but she never tired. And
above an. the play was not written for
Mr.. Selwyu alone and the star system,
as is known, did not detract from the
worth of the drama.
There were three stage settings, all
OF which were of an elaborate nature.
All in all. "Pierre of the Plains" was
the most realistic thing that has been
seen in Burlington for several sea
sons"
