ton at the Baptist church in Townshend
Wednesday was attended by large num-
Der of delegates and guests. The morning
session opened with song service led by
the president, Rev. Herbert E, Buffum.
E. l.. Hastings, superintendent OF the
Entertaining school, spoke words OF
greeting and the president responded
Mrs. Carrie A. Robinson, state Bible
school worker, gave valuable address on
Organized Bible Classes-Their Aims and
Advantages. A very interesting feature

composed of six children, was conducted
by Mrs. R. d. Phillips of Townshend.
The addresses delivered by Rev. w. W.

value of ideals, and The Teacher Fisher,
treating on soul winning.

DEMAND LOWER
FREIGHT RATES
VIII Ask State Railroad Commission
TO Take Up Question Of Rates On
Lumber Shipped From West
River Road.

Having failed in their efforts 10 induce
the Central Vermont Railway company
TO reduce freight rates on shipments from
points ON the West River railroad, the
shippers, particularly the lnmbeuncn, on
that branch, have decided to appeal 20
the state board Of railroad commissioners,
aud a petition Is now being drawn up by
y. W. Gibson, Of the law iiHm Of Gibson
Waterman. The petition asks that AN
order may issue compelling a reduction
oi freight rates on shipments of lumber,
both rough and manufactured. aud on
bark from points on the West River
road, that shippers be- given the benefit
of shipment 90 thc> destination. and that
the roadbed be put ia a safe condition.
Under the present arrangement every
thing in carload lots is rcbilled at Bnttle-
borO 10 the connecting roads, thereby
compelling the shippers 10 pay the local
rates on the West River road in addition
10 the through rates, - that the shippers,
according 10 their claim, are unable 10
compete with shippers on other roads.
The Central Vermont company charges
local rate OF five cents per 100 pounds
from Jamaica to Bmttleboro and local
rate Of four cents from Batteboro TO
Slillen Falls, aud the Boston a Maine
company charges a rate OF tye cents from
Mlllers Falls 10 Boston. making a total
rate OF II cents for distance OF Ia miles,
or $40 per carload Of 10000 pounds. The
rate from Newport TO Boston over the
Boston a Maine road, distance OF 23S
miles, is So per carload OF 10000 pounds.
The rate over the Rutland road from
Manchester 10 Boston, 1917 miles, is $50.
The manufacturers Of chairstock claim
that the Central Vermont rate makes it
practically impossible for them to handle
rhairstock and compete in the market.
The railroad company claims that il has
4 proportional rate which applies to ship
ments originating on the West River
branch which does not apply to Brattle-
Doro and that shippers on the West River
-oad are getting the benefit Of rate
over than that which applies TO ship
ncnts originating at Brattleboro. This
: construed as a discrimination against
3rattleboro. \ question: will arise as TO
he authority Of the railroad commission
rs to regulate rates outside the limits, Of.
he state, but the shippers say that il it
) determined that the commissioners do
lot have that authority application will
'e made TO the interstate commerce
commission to take up the matter.

Lyman E. Holden of the firm of Holden
& Martin has this week made public his

Since James +. Hooker's withdrawal
of week ago the name of
George w. Pierce has also been men
toned as a possible candidate but he has
not yet decided on line of action.

HARRY HOPKINS CAUGHT.
Man Who Figured in Last Weeks Es-

Harry Hopkins of Keene, n. H., an
agent OF the Economy Rug company,
Lowell Mass, pleaded guilty Tuesday be-
! fore Justice David Slade in Chesterfield,

| Fraser in that town. He was fined $40
and costs amounting to SAL Hopkins was
the man who hired team and driver of
! Howard 4 Yearly June 8 to take him to
Chesterfield. n H., to deliver a consign-
ment of rugs. On the way to Chesterfield
Hopkins suddenly woke up from deep
sleep and pounded the horse and then
beat the driver with the butt OF the
whip. The horse ran away near the farm
OF $. 4. Boutwell, and threw Fraser out
and shortly afterward turned around and
made its way back to Brattleboro, bring
ing up in the doorway OF the Nicolet the
atre in an attempt to turn the corner at
Main and Elliot streets.
Hopkins was brought to Brattleboro
early the next morning and agreed to set
tie the damages but on being permitted
to deliver a few rugs took advantage of
the drivers good nature and on the pre-
text OF buying few cigars in the drug
store made his escape over the Connecti-
cut river bridge. Hopkins next appeared
in Lowell, Mass, where he got into some
kind of trouble over a mileage book. The
rug company notified Howard & Yearly

that the damages incurred by Hopkins
would be settled on receipt of bill An
account was rendered Tuesday but up to

RED TAG DAY
For the Benefit of the Brat.
tlebOrO Rest Room.

Tomorrow will be Red Tag day.
The various organization interested IN
the welfare of the Brattleboro rest room
have united TO solicit funds for its main
tenance aud have organized campaign
which will cover the whole town in one
day.
Several thousand red tags have been
! prepared bearing the following words,
Official Tag, Brattleboro Rest Room
Benefit. Thi. Tag indicates that the own
er has contributed. These tags will be
Offered for sale by various women and
| girls who have been assigned to different
portions OF the town. Each house will
be canvassed, and it is hoped that tag
may be sold for every man, woman and
| child IN every family; tags will also be
offered on the business streets and in the
stores and Offices
The price paid for a tag will be decided
by the purchaser. The collectors are au-
thoriZed to accept any sum whatever,
from one cent to million dollars. The
minimum price is placed as small as pos
sible in order TO make II practicable for
each child TO be tagged The rest room
is an institution that benefits the whole
town. and it is the purpose of the com
mittee having the fund in charge 10 make
this an opportunity for every person in
town to contribute.
Tomorrow, Saturday. June l3. will be
Red Tag Day, and the tags can be pur-
chased only on that day Those who are
interested in the rest room, in the Girls
club in the Woman's exchange, the W.
c. T. L., the Womans auxiliary OF the
y. NJ. c. A., or in the general welfare OF
Brattleboro and surrounding towns, are
urged TO provide themselves with red
tags at the first opportunity and to wear
them all day as an indication that they
have contributed and as an inspiration to
others The use Of the red tag prevents
asking the same person for repeated con
tributions, thus saving possible annoyance |
TO anyone, and making the work of the |
collectors a great deal easier.
The committee having the canvessing /
in charge is composed of Mrs. L. d. Mas
tin, Mrs. +. /. Swift Mrs. c. G. Fits,
Mrs c. +. Il. Jenne. Miss Mary Hen
shaw. Mrs. Frank Perry and Mrs. George
c. Averill There will be about 40 regu-
lar collectors and several special collectors
assigned to special places.
1t is hoped that several thousand tags
may be sold and that purchasers will pay
liberal prices for them. The plan has
been tried in various cities for the benefit
Of public institutions and has been very
popular. There is practically no expense,
rs the two newspapers, h, l.. lhldreth
& Co., C. p. Spencer and The Vermont
Printing company have contributed all
he advertising and printing.
Get Red Tag tomorrow, and
Wear it.
