ELECTRIC ROAD EXTENSION
Rutland company's Lines 10 &c Built
to PouItney

Rutland, Dec 22.-Under the per-
sonal supervision of George S. Leav-
enworth of the engineering firm of
Powers and Mansfield of Troy, n. Y,
the work of locating the line of the
proposed extension of the Rutland
Railway, Light and Power companys
electric line to Poultney is proceed
ing rapidly. The surveyors have
only been at work one week and al
ready three miles of the new route
have been staked out.
The new road starts from point
on the east side of Lake St Gather
inc on the town line between the
towns of Poultney and Wells, at a
distance of about four miles from
Poultney From this point, the line
will run around the head of the lake
to Poultney, following the East road
for considerable distance and then
cutting across lots to the village. A
portion of the extension 10 Granville
N. Y, has been surveyed as far as
South Poultney and it is probable
that the entire distance will be sur
yeyed at the present time, although
this line will not be built until after

From Poultney the line will run al
most due north six miles to a point
near Castleton, where it will join the
present main line to Fair Haven. 1t
is estimated that the work of survey
ing will require another month, and
no sods will be turned until spring.
The right of way of course, remains
to be secured but the company antic-
ipates no great difficulty in this res

TO GET OUT OF JAIL
Ira Man Brings Petition on Writ OF
Habeas Corpus


Judge f. NJ. Butler of Rutland who
is presiding at the present term OF
county court here. held a hearing
Monday at Rutland on a petition for
a writ of habeas corpus for the re
lease from Jail of Willard Smith of
Ira who was sent to the county Jail
for 237 days by Justice b. II. Stick
ney November 10 because he could
not pay a fine for petit larceny.
Smith was arrested on the charge
of grand larceny having shot n COW
belonging to a neighbor The evil
dence did not show that the animal
was of sufficient value to warrant
grand larceny so the justice held the
man guilty of the lesser charge.
The petitioners claim that the JUS
tice acted without his jurisdiction in
not trying the man in the town where
the offense was committed and also
in the amount of the fine imposed,
$25 and costs The state claimed
that by not entering complaint at the
time of the affair the respondent
waved the right of jurisdiction.
Judge Butler took the case under
advisement

United States, Melville w. Fuller, ad-
ministered the oath of office of Mr..
Taft, who, when he had taken it. bent
and kissed the Bible held in the hand
of his country's chief jurist. Imme-
diately following the taking of the
oath, President Taft delivered his in
augural address.
The presidents speech frequently
was INTERRUPTED by applause and at
its close the great assembly broke into
cheers. The president was congratu-
lated by those who were close to him,
the other~chief officials. President
Taft then entered a carriage which
was at once surrounded by the mem
bers Of the Black Horse troop of
Cleveland, o., which formed the spe-
cial guard of honor. The presidents
carriage was driven north and then
down the hill by the senate wing of
the capitol until Pennsylvania avenue
was reached. From that point the
president drove slowly to the White
House along the thoroughfare filled,
save for its center, with crowds of his
cheering fellow citizens.

OId-Time Enemies Drink and Forget

Two men who had been introduced in
the last days of the campaign, one of

veterans of the civil war who served
in the ranks of the union or in the

in the parade. There were more for

BY EDWARD q. CLARK.


Washington, Mar 4.-Standing on
the east portico of the capitol, just
after noon, William Howard Taft took
the oath of office as president of the
United States, an immense throng OF
his fellow citizens witnessing the i'm
pressive ceremony. James School
craft Sherman already had been sworn
in as vice-president, in the senate
chamber, and the people acclaimed
the new chief executives of the ma
ton.
Notwithstanding the fact that Mr..
Taft has been in civil pursuits all his
life, the military display which accom-
panied his induction into office was
greater than that which marked the
Inauguration of the militant rough
rider president, Theodore Roosevelt,
four years ago. Washington was
filled with civilians and soldiers and
sailors. From the earliest daylight
hour the streets were crowded with
people. Pennsylvania avenue, the GEN.
ter of all things in Washington, was
packed with the crowds, every man
and woman in which sought, by an
early arrival, to obtain a place of van
tage from which the great procession,
which for hours passed through the
broad thoroughfare, could be seen.
Meet at Executive Mansion.
Early IN the day the president-elect
met the outgoing president in the
White House. About an hour before
neon, the congressional committee of
arrangements, consisting of Senators
Knox, Lodge and Bacon, and Repre-.
sentatives Burke, Young and Gaines,
arrived at the executive mansion and
informed the president and the presi-
dent-elect that congress was in readi-
ness for the ceremonies of the actual
