GREAT MARBLE DEAL

Rutland, July 20 With the purchase
yesterday of 1000 acres of land George G..
Underhill of this city, representing New
York capitalists, consummated a series
of transactions in which almost 10000
acres of land, rich in marble and situated
in the towns Of Clarendon, Tinmouth and
Dandy, change hands either at once or
when options are taken up The deal is
probably the biggest of its kind Vermont
has ever seen says the News The parties
to it are not made public, Mr.. UnderhiIl
declining even to designate what par
ticular farms he had bought or obtained
options on.
The deal will mean the development
of a large tract of marble land in the
western part of Rutland county, most
which has heretofore been untouched
There will probably be a freight road
built into the district, although from
what point is not vet known. and the
deal may result in Rutland losing the
Columbian Marble Quarrying company
mill.
There is a vein of marble extending
from Brandon nearly due south to Dorset
and it is on this vein that all the farms
Mr.. Underhill has secured are located
The vein is intermittent along the northern
part of its course but through Tinmouth
and Dandy it is at the surface. The
farms included in the deal are in a
straight line, taking in all the property
through which the vein extends, except
one farm, from the northern line of
Tinmouth to nearly the center of Dandy
township. The occupants of most of the
farms have been given from one to two
years to vacate their premises.
Since the negotiations in question have
been underway the Vermont Marble comp
any has bought farms in Tinmouth and
Clarendon so that practically the entire
marble lands in the territory have passed
into the hands of parties who will de-
velop them.
When asked as to the probability of
railroad extending into the Tinmouth
district, Mr.. Underhill admitted that one
probably would be built although he
stated that no plan for it had as yet
been worked out. West Rutland. Poultney
and Granville, N. Y. are the most probable
starting places for such road.
The big land deal probably will mean
that this city will lose the Columbian
Marble Quarrying company mill with
which persons whom Mr.. Underhill
represents are now prospecting with a
view of purchase. If RAILROAD is built into
Tinmouth the mill probably will be
moved to some point on the line to save
carriage and freight.
Frank D. White and John J. Kissane
of this city are said to be amoung the
parties interested with Mr.. Underhil
in the deal which is supposed to give
the purchasers control of an inexhaustiblt
supply of marble of three colors.

WILL MAKE TRIP
TO HONOLULU
Senator w. p. Dillingham; to Sail
For the Far East on Business for
the Immigration Committee Of
the Senate-Trip VIII Consume
About Two Months.

United States Senator w. P. Dill
lingham, of this city, intends to sail
for Honolulu at the close of the ses-
sion of Congress on business con-
nected with the immigration COM
mittee of the Senate, of which he is
chairman, the trip to consume about
two months if all goes well. Just
when he will be able to start de-
pends of course on the celerity with
which the present tariff measure
now before the conference commit
tee is reported back to the House,
and action taken on it there.
The trip is brought about by the
peculiar conditions existing at pres
ent in the Hawaiian Islands and
the complaints that have been made
by the owners of the large sugar
plantations there. AS is perfectly
natural, the immigration to the
island is largely Oriental in nature,
and the great majority of the en-
ployees on the plantations is made
up of Chinese and Japanese work
men, but the owners of the planta-
tions desire to import laborers from
Europe, these being much more de-
sirable than the class employed at
present. Under the existing laws,
however, contract labor cannot be
employed, and it is for the purpose
Of Investigating the conditions with
a view to making possible changes
in the laws in this respect that
Senator Dillingham; is to make the
trip. He will thoroughly investigate
the reasons put forward by the
planters in tseir endeavor to import
European laborers and on his re-
turn make report to the immigra-
ton committee as to his findings,
after which action can be taken
accordingly.
The voyage from San Francisco
70 Honolulu and return will con-
sumo about a month. while the in
vestigations in the island will re-
quire two or three weeks.

FIVE LIQUOR RAIDS,
Italian Quarters Invaded by Sher-
ifs and Police Saturday Night
Beer and Ale Seized at Two
Places.


Sheriff Tracy, Deputies Lawson,
Harmon and Smith, officers Con-
molly, Sloan and Chief Durkee, and
Grand Juror Bailey descended on
the Italian quarter of Barre street
Saturday evenang and carried ON
one-half barrel of ale and the same
quantity of beer, after raiding FIVE
places, but found no liquor in any
of the other three houses entered.
The raid was made with the idea Of
gathering in some suspects who
have been under surveillance for
some time, and although the various
entrances were not made simultane-
ously, warning was not sent out
from one house to another as IS
usually the case on occasions of this
kind.
The officers split up into several
parties, the first body going to the
residence Of Angus Colburn and
Mrs. j. Sullivan, where a thorough
search was made, but nothing dis
covered. At the same time Chief
Durkee and officer Connolly visited
the residence of A. Delisi, but with
the same result, as no contrabraud
goods were forthcoming and the Of
ficers went away empty handed
The last two places entered were
those of Mrs. Cleofe Broggini and A.
Frontini, where the officers were
somewhat more successful, as they
found a part of a barrel of liquor
in each place, two men also
being apprehended in the former
residence. The visitors names were
taken with the idea o. summoning
them into court at the hearing to
hear their reasons for being pres
ent.
Both respondents were brought
up before Judge G.. w. Wing Monday
morning to answer to the charges
against them, but the hearings were
postponed until this morning,
when testimony will be taken, W.
A. Lord appearing in both cases.
Bail of $500 was received for the
appearance of the respondents, Mr..
and Mrs. c. Commolli recognizing
for Mrs. Broggini, while Mr.. From
TIM furnished his own

GRANITE BUSINESS
IS BETTER
The Effects Of the Panic of 1907
Passing Away-Contracts Re-
.ceived for Large and Handsome
Monuments.


The complaint that has been made
recently in regard to the effect that
there is a lack of business in the
granite industry, caused the Journal
to investigate conditions. A large
number of the granite firms have
been visited and the opinion seems
to be held by majority of the
manufacturers that the depression
in business was caused by the pan
ic of 1907 and was largely felt after
the other industries to large ex-
tent had regained their former ac-
tivity
The class of work done by the
granite manufacturers in this loc-
ality is of the monumental kind and
business in that line depends large
ly upon the prosperity of the peo-
pie. The hard times" caused money
to be diverted to other necessary
lines and consequently it hit the
manufacturers of granite last.
The Ryle & Mccormick Company
have a good amount of work on
hand Among this is a large spire

high, to be placed over a prominent

quiring over 1000 raised letters.
M. H. Ryle, manager of the Globe

increasing every day They have
several large monuments under
construction with exceptionally
difficult carving.

Whitney Warren. the architect. arrived
here last night on the American liner New

ness Of the American representation at

Venice. MT. Warren said il was the finest
exhibition he had ever seen, but deplored
the fact that only three paintings done by
Hassam. Benner and Sargent represented
America.
We have splendid painters here" said
Afr. Warren, and there is no reason why
we should have been represented by only
three pictures. Several of the foreign con-
tributors had each an entire room for his
own pictures.
Venice has not tho park room that We
have here in New York. but the building
the state erected in one of the small parks
I'm Venice was a revelation. As matter
of civic pride New York should build a big
