Green Mountain State Re-Elects For
 mer Mayors--Interest Slight.

Montpelier, Vt, March 3-Fair weather prevailing throughout tho state to-day the city and town elec- tions brought out a strong vote, the especial interest in all sections center ing on the license vote
 There was almost no interest in the city elections held in five of the six cities of the state. The present re- publican mayors were reelected in St. Albans and Vergennes, and the present citizens party mayors were reelected in Barre and Montpelier. The republicans in Rutland elected their candidate for mayor. Burling- ton had an off year In the mayoralty election, but was strongly republican In selection of new members of the aldermanlc board.
 The mo license" party may be said to have secured victory in the cities of the state for while one city, Bur lington, swung from no license to license. two others, Barre and St. Al bans, changed from wet to dry" Rutland sustained her license posi- ton of a year ago by a somewhat stronger vote. and Nergennes and Montpelier continue as no license towns
 Returns from the three northern counties of the state, Franklin, Or leans and Essex, show that the no license faction made a decided gain. Orleans county went solid mo, where last year one town voted ives. In Essex county there was but one change. the town of Brighton turning from yes to mo"
 The mayors elected to-day were: Rutland, H. o. Carpenter, republican; St. Albans. Norman N. Atwood, re- publican; Montpelier, Frank R. Daw- ley, citizen; Barre, John Robins, citi- zens; Vergennes, John w. Ryan, re- publican

KELLEY FIGHTS
 PAY FOR COHEE Says Example Will be Bad for Other Offlcers-Patrol-
 man Not on Duty
 at the Time. BOARD 0VERRULES HIM Chief Cowlcs Comments to Commis- sioners the Work of Policemen at the Recent Grace Hos-
 pital Fire.
BOARD ovERRULES HIM

At the meeting of the board of po- lice commissioners last night strenuous opposition on the part of Commission CT Daniel Kelly arose to the payment of salary while off duty to Patrolman Alonzo M. Cohee, who was attacked whle in State street restaurant by persons who probably mistook him for an officer of the state police
 Officer Cohee was off duty from Oc- tober until February 25 and was at the New Haven hospital for ninety days. He then returned and reported to Chief Cowles that he was ready for duty. At present he hes not quite recovered from the injuries but Is covering his beat.
 petition for pay while off duty had ferred at a previous meeting to the finance committee which last night reported in favor of giving him his back salary and all but Mfr. Kelley concurred Mir. Kelley said:
 "I cannot see that the city Is liable to this officer as he was not in per formance of his public duty. He went there as a private citizen on private business of his own and not as an officer of the law, and got in a row with some of the patrons of the place. It Is said that he provoked a fight and got it I believe.
 Tt would be injustice to the city to allow any pay under such circumstanc- es and letting down the bars or open ing the gates to others that may in the future get in trouble. As it would pay them better to be home sick than 1t would be 10 he on duty when they get s3.00 day from the city and 200 from the state association and s10O from the Mutual Aid association"
 MT kelley's argument failed to move the other members of the board and | the matter will now go to the finance board of the city with the recommen- dation that the bill be paid. The ob- 1 jection of MT. Kelley may cause some comment from the higher body. | Chief Cowles in his report last night i commended the police for their work at the recent Grace hospital fire and | the commissioners gave them honor- able mention for what they did. Chief Cowles announced his (recent trans fers and the commissioners did not comment.
 Janitor Richard Coogan of the cen tral station was granted two weeks off to go to a New York hospital for an operation was necessary.
 James j. Maloney was given thirteen and one-half days pay for time off as the result of injuries received by fall while on duty. Officer Maloney turned his ankle on bar of iron while trying the doors in the rear oi 194 Commerce street, and was laid ur for couple of weeks. Officer John
 H. Moore who sprained his ankle on a piece of ice at state and Humphrey
 streets. was given two days pay.
 President James R. Maxwell of the board of commissioners presided last
 night for the first time, Mayor Martin
 having occupied the chair at the pre-.
 vious meetings.

MARTHA BRILLIANT
Second Night Even Surpasses Glorious Opening of
 Opera. .4
KELSEY'S VOICE IMPROVES
Matinee Rest Proves Benef1cial-Ap- plause Bestowed Lib. ~ 2iLa
 orally. aisa,

The first performance of Martha" by the Morris Steinert Opera company on Monday night convinced the New Haven public that their city had the material for a grand opera produc- tion, and that constant hard work and much thought had brought that fact very forcibly to Night. MT. Steinert was cheered to the echo because the first night audience fully realized the fact that they had heard home talent do splendidly a thing which one man had long believed they could do.
 Last night the house was filled with a brilliant audience to prove that the voices of the critics had gone abroad in the land, and that they had come to hear for themselves that they might add their applause to that of those who had already commended, and make the success as complete as possible.
 The opera went even better than it did on Monday night. The nervous strain which is always evident on a first night had faded away entirely last night, and everybody did far bet ter work than before.
 MT. Steinert was again compelled to come before the curtain and make an other speech to satisfy his friends and well wishers. The absolute satisfac- ton of everybody must have been a splendid recompense for all the hard work done by MT. Dessauer and the principals and chorus.
 Those who were disappointed that there was no matinee yesterday be- cause of a severe cold which Mir. Kel- sey was suffering from, which made it impossible for him to do two per formances in one day, were fully re- paid last night. for his work was very much better than on Monday night, and the effort for him was much less apparent.
 The ball is we'll started, and has rolled along merrily, and everybody is delighted Now let us hope that ev- 1 erybody will join in helping it along, i and that the active cooperation of all ] who love music. good music. and are l interested in the development of local i talent and ability will lend hand to keep the ball in motion. Meanwhile we thank Mir. Steinert and those who have worked so hard and so earnest 1 ly with him for proving to Us that we have in our midst so many gems we really knew not of Beauty, ability
 ambition and sQ sincere a willingness l to share them all with us

That is the Contention of Coun. sel Rogers in His Answer to the Sullivan
 Charges.
DENIES ALL ALLEGATIONS
Judge Roraback May Decide the Mat ter on Written Testimony, or the
 Case May be Heard by Judge Wheeler.

Corporation Counsel Edward H. Rog- CTS filed the answer to the charges made in the appeal of former Police Commissioner Jeremiah J. Sullivan 1 yesterday afternoon at o'clock in the office of the clerk of the superior court, In his answer. which is of some length. | the corporation counsel denies all the allegations made by MT. Sullivan through counsel against Mayor Mar tn. He insists that the mayor acted under no assumed authority or in no capacity which the charter did not give him. His action was not that of a Judicial officer. It was that of an Il executive and administrative head.
 Yesterday was the time limit set by Judge Roraback for the mayor to Ale his answer to the charges made. The corporation counsel filed his papers put a short time before the clerks clos ed the superior court office for the day. The charges had been filed by Attor- ney Richard H. Tyner and MT. Sulli- 1 van shortly after hearing of the de- murrer of the mayor that the court did not have the matter within It's Jurisdiction, which demurrer was oy-l erruled by Judge Roraback.
 In his answer of yesterday the cor-, poration counsel made for the mayor 1 a. general denial of all the allegations made. The general admissions of the charges and the answer were practical ly the same. In both 1t was admitted that the mayor and the police con- missioner held office legally. The cor- poration counsel then went to show that certain of the charges were iln- material, his contention being that the mayor acted within the authority which he had received were perfectly open to the public and the evidence and testimony was certainly sufficient for the action taken
 The corporation counsel contends that the mayor not only did not act in any judicial capacity in removing Mir. Sullivan, but he did not even act in any quasi-judicial capacity. He was we'll within his limitations as an exe- cutive and administrative officer, he states.
 There is considerable talk to the ef- l feet that the case will never be open ly heard again in all probability in court. 1t is thought that Judge Rora- back will pass judgment upon the written testimony of the first trial The judges present nine weeks ses- sion ends with this weeks assignment list Just when the case would come
 Up, if 1t Is heard openly again is not
 known. Judge Wheeler's court will
 continue for some weeks yet and it is
 quite possible that the Sullivan appeal
 case may be heard before him.

A Sly Doc.

/ The late DR.. James Freeman Clarke
used to tell this story Of his dog:
!" At one time my dog was fond Of
going to the railway station to see the
people, and I always ordered him to
go home, fearing he would be hurt by
the cars. He easily understood that If
he went there 1t was contrary to my
wishes So whenever he was near the
station IL he saw me coming he would
look the other way and pretend not to
know me. If he met me anywhere else
he always bounded to meet me with
great delight. But at the station it
was quite different. He would pay no
attention to my whistle or my call.
He even pretended to be another dog
and would look me right In the face
without apparently recognizing me.
He gave me the cut direct In the most
impertinent manner, the reason evil
IDENTIFY being that he knew he was
doing what was wrong and did not
like to be found out. Possibly he may
have relied a little on my nearsighted-
ness in his maneuver. 5s
