THOMAS II. REED ESQ.
Missed the Evening Train But Was on
Hand for Ills Speech.


There was not large but a thor.
oughly interested audience at the NJ.
E. church last night to hear new
voice on ''The Temperance Question. I"
Mr. Reed is graduate of Harvard
and has made special study OF the
legal aspects Of the liquor traffic and
Is fitted by temperament to appeal to
thinking people. On Monday night be
will address a mass meeting In the op.
era house 10 Rutland.
OF his address last night two points
will especially interest people in Be-.
nington One is that no outside force
can sxtinsuish the liquor problem in
any given community. Prohibition
will not entirely do away with it.. But
the continued united and enthusiastic
advocacy OF mo drink" by all oppos
log forces at the polls and away from
them-wi4f reduce the evil to its lowest
terms.
Mr. Reeds other point OF special i'm
portance to Bennington voters was
his illumination of idea that the liquor
traffic pays any appreciable amount
back to the state for the money 1t helps
the citizens to waste. 1.-THE license fee
comes out OF the profits of the bust
less. The profits come out OF the
dimes and nickels OF the citizens. The
citizens therefore both pay the license
fee and support the families 'of the
men engaged 10 the liquor traffic. The
question for the people is whether
they shall bear one or both the bur
dens."
At the close of the address DR. Row
ley announced another union temper
ance meeting at the Baptist church
Sunday night.

The Hearty LAUGH.

We have faith in the man who can
laugh heartily. 1t is not only sign
of health and good nature, but all in
dication of the spirit of looking on
the bright side of things, which con
tributes so much to success. The wis
dom and sanctity of man is no
longer estimated by the length of his
countenance, nor bv bis refusal to un
bend his dignity so far as to laugh on
occasion. The cheerful smile, the
frank, open laugh. are two of the most
helpful influences which man is able
to bestow on comrade or friend, and
few of us have been so unfortunate
as to have failed to experience the
benefits of both. Let us all wear a
sunny countenance, therefore, not
only for our own happiness but for
our neighbors and friends.-Farm Life.

Life Plead Not Guilty.
NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-The special
grand jury that has been investigating
the affairs of the provident Savings
Life Assurance societA handed up to
Justice Bowling in the criminal branch
of the supreme court two indictments
against T.. K. Thomas and one against
o. i. Thomas, both of whom until re
Gently were officers of the society.
The indictments charge mistlemean
ors in violation of the state insurance
laws.
The accused men, accompanied by
former Justice Davy and Lawyer Me-
Burney, appeared before Justice BOWL
ing soon after the indictments were
returned and pleaded not guilty.
Justice Davy asked that three weeks
be granted in which to prepare demur-
rers to the indictments, saying that his
duties as receiver of large corpora
ton would prevent his being ready
any sooner.
Justice Bowling, however, decided
that two weeks would be long enough.
He fixed E. X. Thomas bail at $4,000
and that of o. +. Thomas at $1,000.
The bail was furnished by the Fidelity
and Deposit Company Of Maryland.
The first of the indictments against
e. X. Thomas sets forth that on April
2, 1907, he obtained from the Italian
American Trust company loan OF
100000 on the strength of promise
to deposit with the trust company
100000 of the funds of the Provident
Savings Life, the deposit TO remain
with the trust company until the loan
was repaid.
The second indictment charges
similar transaction with the Union
bank of Brooklyn. the amount NJ this
loan to be 100000, although in reality
but $4,000 was obtained.
The indictment against O. +. Thomas
charges that o. F., then vice president
of the Providcnt Life, negotiated a
$4,000 loan under similar conditions
with the New Amsterdam National
bank.
At the time OF the alleged violations
of the law by f.. II. Thomas he was
chairman of the finance committee Of
the Provldent Life. All the loans
were to be made to Maclay d. Co., the

DEATH SENTENCE
FOR RUSSIAN
TERR0R|STS
Seven Would Be SIayers Of
Grand Duke to Die.
TWO OF THEM ARE WOMEN
Out Of Fifty Captured In Attempted
Assassination Ten Have Been
Found Guilty.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. pa mill.
tary court sitting in the fortress of st.
Peter and st. Paul under the presi-
dency of General Nikiforoff has con-
demned to death seven of the terrorists
charged with completely In the attempt
last week in this city upon the lives of
Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitch,
second cousin Of the emperor, and M.
Chtcheglovitoff, the minister Of justice,
and sentenced three others to fifteen
years Imprisonment at hard labor.
Among those upon whom the death
sentence was passed Is a supposed
Italian journalist, Calvino, who has
represented in st. Petersburg La Vita
of Rome and IL Tempo of Milan. A
special attorney was secured for him
by the Italian embassy, but Calvino
spurned the assistance of the embassy,
saying he wished to share the fate Of
his comrades.
Addressing the court In broken Rus
sian, he made the sensational declara-
ton that the passport that bore his
name was not really his and that he
therefore desired to be tried as Rus
sian subject. All efforts on the part Of
the court to induce him to disclose his
real name and status proved unavail-
ing.
Two women were also sentenced to
death and one to Imprisonment. The
accused all refused counsel, but were
represented by four civilian lawyers
appointed by the court, which also del
egated two military advocates for the
defense. The public was excluded from
from the hearing.
The indictment against the ten pris-
oners, who constituted the first batch
of the fifty or more terrorists captured
by the police on Feb. 20, charged them
with membership in the northern fy-
| Ing column of the Social Revolutionists
and with active participation in At

Nicholas Nicholaievitch and NJ. Chtche-

stances Of their arrest on the very day

crime in their possession.
The prisoners acknowledged member.

toff, but unanimously and strenu0usly-
denied any intention to murder the
grand duke, claiming that the police
charge was based merely on the pro-
pinquity Of the grand dukes palace to
that Of the minister of justice.
The details of the trial established
the allegations of the police, with the
exception that they were unable to ad-
duce evidence Of plot against Grand
Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitch. The Yer.
dict Of the court will be pronounced In
final form this afternoon, after which
1t will be confirmed by General Hazen-
kampf. chief Of the general stan, In

| DISTRICT ATTORNEY JEROME.
Of District Attorney Jerome the brief
submitted to the governor summed up
the case in these paragraphs:
BY reason Of the above facts, which
have been brought into marked prom
lnence through the existing depressed
condition of the country, Mr.. Jerome
has lost almost completely, we sub
nit, the confidence of the people Of the
county of New York.
His habit of becoming the advocate
of the wealthy accused in many Of the
cases which have been detailed has
tended very materially to impair the
public confidence in him.
A large proportion of the citizens Of
New York county, however unjust
toward Mr. Jerome their feelings may
be, have nevertheless been led 10y these
facts to believe that he is the friend
and protector of the wealthy criminal
and not the attorney and protector Of
the whole people.
With confidence in him thus impair
cd, his great abilities make him all
the more distrusted.
With the loss of public confidence he

his former close friends who are in

| ~ Ian HE frinnIS
In an interview after he had filed the
charges Mr.. King stated that Governor
Hughes told him he would give the
matter immediate consideration.
II maintain" Mr.. King went on,
that much of the blame for the pres
emit deplorable condition of affairs Is
Tue to the failure of Mr.. Jerome as dis
trict attorney to prosecute the rich and
influential grafters who have robbed
our people and disgraced the name of
our city, commencing with the ice trust
and the Infamous clique who filched
the money of policy holders from the
great insurance companies, and, last in
the list, but first in open, shameless
audacity and barefaced stealing the
men who looted and wrecked the Met
ropoltan Traction company.
"The public exposure of these rich
criminals and the failure to prosecute
them and others of the same ilk who
owned and controlled many great
banks and trust companies is the pri-
mary cause of the want Of confidence
that caused people to rush to banks to
withdraw their deposits and place them
in safe deposit boxes.
although the so called panic is
practically over as far as the banks are
concerned, the want of confidence Is
here to stay until the people see some
Of these wealthy criminals punished,
not fined, but put in Jail, just the same
as would happen to criminals of less
prominence.
"The failure to enforce our laws Is
breeding socialism and anarchy, and
only the greatest vigilance will prevent
us from repetition Of riotlng, but on
greater scale, such as has recently
