PRESS COMMENT.
Mr., Bailey's Champlain Booklet for
the Schools.

One of the valuable and permanent
results of the great Champlain celebra-
ton to be held the week beginning July
4th in and about Lake Champlain, is the
added historical knowledge to be gained
from the event. Our Tercentenary
Commission did wisely and well when
they conceived the idea of furnishing
out of their appropriation, historical
booklet dealing specifically with Lake
Champlain, for the use of schools of
Vermont. This it seems to US is a per
manent me mortal both to this Cham
plain event and to Mr. Bailey, the
writer. The booklet is now complete
and is being distributed by the Depart
ment of Education. An issue of $4,000
has been printed SO that every family in
Vermont represented in public and par
ochial schools may have a free copy.
This booklet which contains about 80
pages, has on its outside cover an ex-
cellent map of the lake, in miniature,
drawn by John Pixley Clement Of the
Rutland High school.
If The Times is correctly informed,
Horace w. Bailey of Newburv, one of
the commissioners, was unanimously
selected by the commission, co-operat.
ing with the Department Of Education,
to do the work, and has performed his
duty without any fnaucialcompensation

Declines to Interfere.

Justice Stafford of the supreme court of
the district of Columbia declines to COM
pei Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson to
vacate his decision to institute next Tune
prosecutions against manufacturers and
dealers in flour made according to the
bleached process. The question whether
such bleaching violates the pure food
law was not before the court The ques-
ton decided was only whether a St.
Louis company is entitled to mandamus
to compel the secretary to change his
opinion-that the use of nitrogen per-
oxide in the bleaching of flour renders
the product unwholesome, deleterious to
the consumer and violation of the pure
food law.

TROOPS FIRE ON HINDU MOB
Religious ZeaIOts Attack Mosque and
Battle with MOslems
Follows.

CALCUTTA, Jan. 5.-The religious riots
between Mohammedans and Hindus have
taken a more serious turn again, requiring
the active intervention of British troops
today at Liloghur, who fired upon the
Hindu mob.
The Hindus had resumed the attacks Of
two previous days on the Mosque at Tita-
ghur because the Mohammedans had
gacrifeced cows. The Hindus destroyed
the sacred furniture in the mosque and
partially demolished the walls. Inflamcd
Mohammedans gathered 10 the defense OF
the mosque and were subsequently sur
rounded by a military Gordon, which formed
a barrier between the Mohammedans and
the Hlndl rioters who assaulted the mill
tary in an endeavor to come to close quar-
ters with the Mohemmadans The troops
fired upon the zealots, killing and wound
ing several OF them.
Isolated combats between Hindus and
Mohammedans are taking place through
the disturbed district. Mohammedans from
more remote quarters are making their
way to Titaghur to revenge the Hindu
insults to their faith.
