Montpelier and Barre join in very
strong petition to the Vermont public
service commission TO have il investigate
the matter Of telephone rates and the
threatened increase in the same, IN those
titles. The eist Of the petitioners claims
is that the proposed increase in rates il
excessive; that it Is unlawful for the
telephone company TO raise the rates
that the Vermont Telephone & Tele-
graph companys contracts with the New
England Telephone company are void
that The New England Telegraph & Tel
ephone company unduly ahsorbs the
earnings of The subsidiary company.
Montpelier and Barre are unquestioaably
entitled TO relief and unless we are mis-
taken the public service commission win
see that they have it, without any iujus-
tice toward the telephone corporation

Accident Occurs as Vessel Is
Passing Out of the Harbor
for Atlantic Trip.

NEW YORK. May 27--The North
German Lloyd passenger steamer Prin-
bess Alice ran aground near Fort Wads-
worth, Staten Island, today while pass
ing out of the harbor for Bremen. The
accident was DUE to the fog.
The Princess Alice carried capacity
number of passengers. Her cabins were
FUN.
As soon as the news Of the grounding
Of the steamer reached New York a
squadron of tugs was sent to her as
sistance. From Fort Wadsworth tele-
phone and telegraph calls for assist
ance were sent and an immediate re-
bponse was made. The local office of
the North Lloyd Steamship Company
was the first to be informed of the ac-
rident
Dense Fog in Harbor.
Owing to the dense fog that prevailed
In New York harbor, the tugs had great
difficulty in reaching the rocky prom
ontory where the Alice went ashore
Owing to the rugged nature of the
coast line near Fort Wadsworth, it is
feared that the vessel has sustained
greater injury than usually results from
the grounding of vessel.
It is probable that the liner will have
to put back for repairs when she is
taken off.
Although the Princess Alice was pick
Ing her way cautiously through the
Narrows the weight of the great
steamer forced her bow high on the
