three years ago and he has rendered COM
petent service. He is a resourceful man
and one whose natural tendencies fit him
for the position he occupies. At the an
nual meeting of the board a few days ago
Mr.. Fox expressed wish not to serve as
secretary longer, but to have the office
filed by some person who could give more
time to its duties, but the committee was
insistent and Mr.. Fox has finally accepted
the reelection. Mr. Fox has been resi-
dent of Brattleboro 40 years, coming here
when lad. He is native of Montague,
Mass. He was employed many years by
the Estey Organ company, but in the early
'90's he left the company's employ to con-
duct the Brattleboro news store. He ear
ried on that business II years, and since
then he has devoted most of his time to
the theatrical business. While employed
at the Estey plant % years ago Mr.. Fox
became manager of the old town hall and
engaged in the theatrical business in
small way, and when the old hall was sue
ceeded by the present opera house he CON
tinued as manager. Five years ago he
formed partnership with Harry L:
Eaton of Claremont, N. H., manager of
the Claremont opera house, and since
then they have secured leases of the opera
houses in Barre and st. Johnsbury and
are operating the four houses employing
salaried managers in the two places last

WINDHAM STILL HIS RESIDENCE.
Manager of Big Washington Store
Visits Native Town Every Year.
rom our special correspondent.

From our special correspondent.
Washington, d. c., April %.
Among the many Vermonters engaged
in business here and who have been hon
ored in various ways is Frank e. Mack
who has worked up through the various
branches of famous mercantile business,
beginning as boy of l6 and succeeding
to position of acknowledged RESPONSE
bility and honor.
Mr. Mack, one of five children of Fred
erick and Caroline A. Burroughs Mack,
was born in Windham, VT, May ID, 1868.
He came with his parents to live in Wash
ington in 1873, when his father began
tended the public schools till at the age
of l6 he entered the employ of Woodland
& Lothrop, the great dry goods estab-
lishment known as the Boston store of
Washington. Young Mack's efficient and
faithful service soon earned for him the
confidence of his employers who were
quick to note his qualifications and to
rely upon his judgment. 1t was not long,
therefore, before he was given the re-
sponsible position of manager and foreign
buyer of the linens as well as Of the white
and domestic goods. Mr.. Mack finds it
necessary to visit at least once a year the
large manufacturing centers Of the world,
those of England, Ireland, Scotland,
France, Germany, Austria, Belgium and
Switzerland being among the number, and
to his discretion is left the selection of the
enormous importations which are sold by
his firm, the largest retail dry goods
house south of Philadelphia.
Windham is the legal or voting resi-
dence of Mr.. Mack, and though very few
of the old time associates of his family are
left there, the old house even having
passed into other hands, the love for the
rocks and the rills of dear old Vermont
instinctively draws him back to his native
town at least once year, where he en-
joys recital of boyhood pranks, and
where he can still point out the trees on
which the early apples grew, the brooks
in which the trout sported, all of which,
to him, are held in imperishable memory.
Mr.. Mack traces his patriotic ancestry
back to his great grandfather, Archibald
Mack, who began his war service as
minute man at Bunker Hill and after
wards fought at Bennington. Capt. Fred
Mack, formerly chief of the invalid divi-

DUNLEVY-FENTON
INJUNCTION OFF
Celebrated Case May Now be
Tried in County Court.
JUDGE MILES GIVES DECISION.
Rules That Three Letters Aside from
Those Returned Were Written and
That They Were of the Tenor
Claimed by Mr.. Fenton.

The technically which has been hold
ing up the $4,000 breach of promise case
of Miss Katherine Dunlevy against Ed
ward j. Fenton, was disposed of early in
the week when Judge Willard w. Miles
of Newport, chancellor, handed down his
decision on the bill of discovery brought
to recover certain letters lost by Mr..
Fenton and claimed by him to be in
possession of Miss Dunlevy and her broth
er Joseph. The decreetal order of Chan
cellor Miles effectually settles the pre-
liminary question, and dissolves the in
junction and the case will probably soon
come to trial in the county court.
Some time ago Mr.. Fenton's counsel, r.
c. Bacon, E. w. Gibson, e. j. Water
man, and j. X. Batchelder of Benning-
ton, brought bill Of discovery in which
they alleged that Miss Dunlevy and her
brother, Joseph Dunlevy had distracted
they asked that Miss Dunlevy be enjoined
from using them as evidence in her case.
The petition was granted and the trial of
the case was held up.
Twenty-Five of these letters were
missed by Mr.. Fenton in April, 1907,
shortly before the opening of Windham
county court. These letters were taken,
so Mr.. Fenton claimed, from his private
papers in a desk in his store. Twenty-six
crime Dunlevy and were surrendered by
her at a hearing which was held before
Judge Miles. THE other three were let
tiers which Mr.. Fenton claimed were writ
ten by her to him on the dates of Oct.
30, 1906 or thereabouts, Jan. 10 and Jan.
20, 1907. In the answer of Miss Dunlevy
she denied under oath writing the letter
of Oct. 80, or of ever having had in her
possession the three letters after they
were written. She admitted having in
her possession 25 or more letters which
were written to Mr.. Fenton, but claimed
that they were found in some waste pa
per by her brother as he was sweeping up
the rubbish in store vacated by Mr..
Fenton. Her petition to have the in
junction dissolved was heard before Chan
cellor Miles two weeks ago.
Chancellor Miles finds from the evidence
that the three letters were written, but
did not come into Miss Dunlevy's possess
sion He also finds that the letters were
of the tenor and date claimed by Mr..
Fenton, and in consideration of the facts
as presented the injunction is dissolved
and the costs are denied to either party
No order is made as to any of the let
tiers, and no restriction is placed on Miss
Dunlevy or her counsel, II. G. Barber, as |
to the use of any letter in the trial of
the case. The case will come up for trial
at the present term of Windham county |
court, but as the presiding judge of the |
term Judge F. NJ Butler of Rutland, is
interested in the case it will be tried be-
fore Judge w. w. Miles of Newport,
Judge A. A. Hall of st. Adams or Judge
Zed S. Stanton of Roxbury.

ton follows:
State of Vermont by George Herbert
Prouty, governor, a proclamation
THE custom of setting apart a day in
each year to be known as Arbor day, is q
wise and profitable one for it has served
to bring to the attention of the public the
Importance of the great questions of for,
estry, which are so vital to the welfare OF
our state.
ut should be the purpose of this day to
give instruction in these matters, and to
stimulate an interest in them to the end
that we may all better understand the
true value OF our forests-the best method
OF planting trees for shade or the beau
tifying of our parks and private grounds.
The indiscriminate cutting of our for
ests without any attempt of preserving the
smaller growth of our valuable trees, is
fast destroying the supply of lumber, as
well as diminishing our water resources
which will be most unfortunate.
Our state has taken long step for
ward by securing the services of an ex-
pert forester. Let us follow his teachings
and thus preserve rather than destroy our
forests.
''This year-being the three hundredth
anniversary of the discovery of Lake
Champlain by Samuel de Champlain-a
celebration in commemoration of this
great historical event is to- be held during
the week beginning July 4th, and all
should join to make this week one long
10 be remembered.
"When Champlain first beheld our beau
tiful lake, its shores were covered with
dense forests, and he, being a lover of
nature, speaks in his narrative of the
magnificent pines which he saw.
what, therefore, can be more fitting
han to plant trees in honor of this great
liscoverer?
''The custom of observing Arbor day
should be encouraged and perpetuated.
Therefore, | designate Friday. MAY the

THIS TOWN AS A SUMMER RESORT
Committee Of Board Of Trade Planning
to Boom Brattleboro

The Brattleboro board of trade, through
the leadership Of its printing and publicit.
committee, is about to start campaign
for advertising Brattleboro as an attrac
tive place both as a summer resort anc
for permanent residence, says the loca
can. The new committee met Friday
night for the first time and discussed the
subject at some length, and while little
could be done in one meeting more than
to get the general idea of the members
nevertheless a good start was made, and
it will be followed up with energy. The
committee has several hundred dollars at
its disposal at the present time, and this
will be used to the best advantage. The
chairman of the printing and publicity
committee is Jacob G. Ullery and the
other members are George E. Fox, How
ard G. Rice, Charles p. Spencer Charles
F. Mann, Walter E. Hubbard, Edward j.
Fenton, Ephraim HI. Crane, Joseph G..
Taylor, Ray L. Greene, George A. Well
man, James B. Randoll, Oscar F. Benson
and Major G. Houghton.
The committee appreciates the fact that
the natural attractiveness of Brattleboro
is exceptionally great and that the scenic
beauty of the town and its numerous
drives are not surpassed by those of any
other town in the state or in adjoining
states. What is needed is to impress that
fact upOn the minds of those who are look
for summer homes or permanent homes.
and that is what the committee purposes
to do. II was decided Friday night TO is

OBJECT TO COL. YOUNG.
Rutland G.. A. R. Veterans Protest
Against His Proposed visit.

The first decided opposition to the ac-
ton of Gov. George H. Prouty and Mayor
Warren R. Austin of st. Adams in invit-
ing Col Bennett Young of Louisville, KY,
who led the st. Adams raid in the Civil
war, to be the guest of honor during the
city's celebration of the Lake Champlain
tercentenary, has crystallized ina strongly
worded set of resolutions of protest
adopted by Roberts post, No. IA, Grand
stand taken by this post, it is expected,
will precipitate controversy throughout
the state which has been smouldering since
the invitation was announced, and which
may prove unpleasant to Colonel Young.
The resolutions follow:
"Whereas, 1t has been reported in vari-
Gus newspapers of the state that the gov
ernor of Vermont and the mayor of st.
Adams have invited one Bennett Young,
who, by his infamous raid on the village
of St. Adams in October, 1864, spread
devastation in his track and terror
throughout the state to be present at the
celebration of the tercentenary of the dis
covery of Lake Champlain, as guest of
honor, ----------------
Therefore, Resolved, that we, surviv-
ing soldiers Of the Civil war, who served
in the Union armies and fought
men with arms in their hands, most earn
estly protest against a public offering of
to one who planned and exc
cuted the st. Adams RAID thereby hon
orng the leader of band of guerillas and
condoning the vile offenses of his incen
diary crew. These raiders and murderers
are not entitled to the consideration
usually accorded to regular soldiers, or
hose engaged in legitimate warfare.
"Young's expedition was predatory; Ms
objects robbery and assassination; it sub

conditions of actual war, when there were
