Information at First Hand.

Not the least of the many and valu-
able services which Governor Proc
tor has performed during his execu-
tive term was the opportunity which
he gave the newspaper men of the
state last week to visit the Vermont
Sanatorium at Pittsford and to learn
by personal observation of the opera
lions of the Vermont Marble Co.
We are all apt to think that we know
all about anything of which we have
read frequent descriptions. AS a
matter of fact no one has any ade-
quate idea of the magnitude of the
Vermont Marble Co.'S operatlons-of
the amount of money involved in its
plant. and in the conduct Of its bust
ness, of the extent of its output and
the variety of its products, or of the
responsibility involved and the or
ganization and detail required for its
successful conduct-until he has been
on the ground and seen for himself.
1t is not only Vermont's leading in
dustry, but it is one of the great in
dustries of America, and the news.
paper men of the state are those who
most of all ought to know what they
are talking about when its affairs are
under discussion.
1t seemed to the writer when at
the sanatorium last Thursday after
noon that, complete as are its APP
lpointments, and great as are the
benefits which those sufferers will de-
rive who 90 there for treatment its
greatest good will be done as a center
of influence and instruction. Month
| by month and year by year there will
go out from it into families and com.
munities all over the state a know
ledge of the essential things, few and
simple, which are required for the
treatment of tuberculous disease
Abundant outdoor air, nourishing
food with milk and eggs at the basis
rest cleanliness, and the careful de
post and absolute destruction OF
every particle of sputum-these are
at the bottom of the whole idea OF
modern curative treatment, and they
can be had in every family where
| the home environment Is not hopeless
either through poverty or ignorance
or because of its condition and sur
roundings.
If for Just one full generation every
case of pulmonary disease could be
properly guarded and treated there
would be no more pulmonary disease
except here and there a sporadic case
and the peril of the great white
plague would be gone. It is the
mission of the press TO carry the
facts here suggested into all the
homes, and is chiefly for this rea
son that the visit to Pittsford ant
the object lesson there afforded will
prove a public benefit.-Brattleborc

A Fast Record,

At a political convention held in I'LL
nois the Importance Of nominating a
popular man for a certain close dis
trict was thoroughly recognized. A
speaker had just renominated a per-
sonal friend for the position, and in an
elaborate eu'ogy had presented in
glowing terms his manifold merits, es-
pecially emphasizing his great services
on the field of battle as well as in the
pursuits Of peace.
After he had finished voice was
heard in the rear of the room. What
we want is the man that will run the
best"
In an instant the orator was again
on his feet
III you think" he yelled, that this
convention can find anybody that can
run better than the gentleman l have
nominated, point once more to his
well.known war record."-Lippincott's

SEVEN JURORS
SECURED FOR
IHAN trial

New York, Jan. 9-One new-sworn
juror was added to the Harry X.
ThaW trial panel today, making seven

moned since the beginning of the sec
ond hearing on Monday Another pam.
Ell of 100 will report tomorrow Jus
tice, DQWing has, announced that he
will hold court Saturday If necessary
to complete the jury.
At the time of the luncheon recess
today the box was fiHed1With six per-
manent and six temporary jurors, but
peremptory challenges swept all of
the provisional men away. Just be-
fore the adjournment hour at 6
o'clock, when today''s venire had been
exhausted five temporary jurors had
again been selected to fill the back
row vacancies. But once more arbi-
trary challenges were brought into
play and all but one of the men on
probation were allowed to 60.
The sole survivor of the day, who
took his place as trial juror number
seven was VIM. F. Doolittle, chief
clerk of the auditing department of
the. New York Central railway. The
rate of progress was not gratifying
either to the prosecution or defense,
and better things are hoped for to-
morrow. At the close of today's work
the prosecution had employed fourteen
of the thirty challenges allowed by
law and the defense had expended
nineteen. The court can, in it's dis
erection, increase the number of the
challenges allowed either side, and
last year, at the first trial, Justice
Fitzgerald did so.
Patrick McCue, hat manufacture
err, furnished the only bit of color to
the proceedings today by declaring
that he had never heard of the case.

opinion and was placed on the tenn
porary side of the trial panel only to

acquainted, and although their pur-
pose may have been entirely LAWFUL,
their common determination to carry
through the strike is weakened by
the order which. they never had an
opportunity to question, and which is.
calcnlatsd to discourage their pro-
ceedings In their original purpose.
To avoid this injustice, I believe that
the federal statute might well be,
made what it was originally requir-
ing q notice and a hearing before in
functions issue.
Third: In answer to your third
question it would seem that it is I'M
necessary to impose any limitation
as to the time for the final hearing,
il before the Injunction can issue at
all. notice and hearing must be
given. The third question is relevant
and proper. only should the power
of Issuing ex parte injunctions be re-
tanned in the court. In such cases,
Iassh0lEd think it eminently proper
that the statute should require the
keourt issuing an ex parte Injunction
to give the person against whom the
Injunction was issued an opportunity
to have hearing thereon within a
very short space Of time, not to ex-
coed three, or four days.
Fourth: Your fourth question is
in effect what would / think of a
provision in such cases by which a
contemnor, that is, the person
charged with violation of the order
or Injunction, might object to the
Judge who issued the injunction, as
| one to try the issue whether the in
junction had been violated, and to
fix punishment in case of conviction,
and thereby require another Judge
to try the issue and impose sentence
| if necessary. In the federal courts
in such case it would be proper to
provide that the senior circuit judge
of the circuit should, upon applica-
ton of defendant or contemnor, des-
igDate any district or circuit judge to
sit and hear the issue presented, I
do not think such restriction would
be unreasonable. In most cases it
would be unnecessary. But admit
that there is a popular feeling that
in contempt proceedings the judge
issuing the injunction has personal

Before Restraining Orders Are Issued
lie Believes It Would Be Wise in Contempt Gases for
Judge Other Than the One Issuing the In-
junction Should Hear the Issue

Martins Ferry, Ohio, Jan. 9.-Thel
views of VIM. H. Taft, the secretary
of war, in regard to the use and
abuse of injunctions is stated in a
letter in reply to question pro-
pounded by Llewellyn Lewis, sec
rotary Of the Ohio Federation of
Labor, given out today. Secretary
Taft prefaces his statement with the
declaration that he believes sit to
be highly beneficial and entirely law
full for laborers to unite in defense
of their common interests" Pro-
ceeding directly to answer the ques-
.tions propounded, he says:
First: You ask me what think
of the enactment Of a law defining
cases in which temporary restrain
ing order may issue, and defining in
SPECIFIC terms the language ia which
such order may be framed. I see no
objectiona to the enactment Of a
statute which shall define the rights
of laborers in their controversies
with their own former employers. AS
this statute would tx the full limit
of their action 1t would necessarily
furnish a definite rule for determin-
ing cases in which injunctions might
issue, as well as their character and
scope.
Second: You ask me what I
think of the provision that no res
training order or injunction shall Is
sue, except after notice to defendant
and a hearing had. This was the
rule under the federal statutes for
many years, but it was subsequently
abolished. In the class of cases to
which you refer I do not see any OBJ
jections to the re-enactment of that
federal, statute.

abuses and injustice to laborers en-

Only One Pension Agency.

g. The House committee on appropria.
tons Tuesday reported favorably the
pension bill for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1909. The bill as reported
abolishes the pension agencies located
at Augusta, Maine; Boston, Buffalo,
Chicago, Columbus, Ohio; Concord,
New Hampshire; Detroit, Indianapolis,
Knoxville, Louisville, Milwaukee, New
York City, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, San
Francisco and Topeka. and CONSOLE
dates in one central distributing agency
at Washington. The bill as reported
carries a total pension appropriation
OF $150,S69 900, which is $174,0O0 less
than the aggregate estimates-the ex-
act sums available by the constitution
of the agencies.
The radical change in the pension
agency system was decided upon by
the appropriations committee in accord
with the recommendations of Secretary
OF the Interior Garfield and Commits
sioner of Pensions Warner. after en-
haustive consideration in sub-commit-
tee. The secretary Of the interior told
the committee that under this consoli-
dation Of the eighteen pension agen-
cies in one central agency 100000
would be saved to the government in
expenses the first year of operation and
s225,000 annually thereafter and that
under the new system all pensioners
could be paid as promptly as they are
now paid by the eighteen agencies and
without inconvenience. The immedi-
date saving will be $6s,o0O in salaries
of pension agents, $4,000 on account OF
rent Of the New York Office. $10O,O in
clerk hire, and $500 in cost Of exam
nation and inspection of agencies.
There was paid to 967,371 pensioners
in the last fiscal year the total sum OF
s13S, O30,S94, and the total pensions paid
for all wars and the regular establish
ment since the foundation OF the re-
public was $5,59S ,O15,732.
Although the number Of clerks In
the pension bureau was $50 less in the
fiscal year 1907 than in the previous
year." says the report, "the applica-
tons for pensions filed in the fiscal
year 1907 were 44o.517, as against 2o1,-
S22 the previous year"

port, mo soldier or soldiers widow OF
