NORMAL NOTES.

Considerable excitement has been
caused at the Normal this week on &C.
count of the breaking out of small
pox among a few of the students; ard
Thursday morning a general meeting
was held In which Principal Decker
and DIR. Robson, of the local health
hoard, urged ell students In general,
and those In particular who had in
any way been exposed to the disease,
to get vacoinated. 1t seems that stu
dents on returning to their homes for
the holidays were exposed to the dis.
eases prevalent In the various towns,
and since returning to school they
have contracted the disease. In this
particular instance Miss Hortense
McEwen, of PsnRuitch and Archie
Swap, of Ksnsh. have developed cas-
es OF small pox since their return to
Cedar City. A great many of the
students have no doubt been exposed
Co the disease In it's very early stages I;
aud whether or not the contagiou will
spread to anv great extent cannot be
determined yet. Meanwhile the
school authorities arc doing all in
their power to minimize the DANCE; 9
OF the situation.
Chapel exercises we're conducted
this week by Miss Christensen of the
art department. She discussed the
development of art aud architecture
during the Middle Ages ss we'll es
during the Greek period of history
aud showed clearly the great iDhuence
which Christianity had had on the
development of modern art. MIR.
Toliestrup, Of the music department,
played a sonata.
Yesterday the faculty and students
assembled in the Auditorium where a
picture OF the entire student body and
teachers was taken by Photographer
Adams.
Considerable interest is icing tax
Gu by the Normal students in regard
to the prohibition question which is
now before the public. AS IA body
they are in favor of state wide prohi-
bition.

new building, end new apparatus ia

FISHER co. TO REBUILD.
Loss In Bethel Fire Paid by Insur.
ance Companies Amounted to
Nearly $145,0OO.

The W. c. Washburn Fire Insur-
ance agency has settled with the
E. C. Fisher Tannery Company of
Bethel, which sustained the heaviest
fire loss in this vicinity for some
time. The insurance on the build
ings and machinery amounted to
$4,000 and the loss actually settled
for amounts to s7765110. The in
surance on the stock of hides
amounted to s7S,50O and the loss
actually paid was $67,324.96. This
makes an actual loss paid in drafts
by the insurance companies of $144,-
976O6. The Liverpool e London
Globe Ins. Co carried the largest
amunt of any individual and without
any discount paid $21,O1165.
The company was doing a tremen-
dous business and during the past
few months the pay roll amounted
to between $1,000 and $4,000 a week
which meant a good deal to the
town. Bethel is feeling pretty elated
over the recent announcement by
Mr.. Fisher that he believed that he
would rebuild in Bethel in spite of
the fact that he had received many
inducements from Massachusetts and
New Hampshire towns. Bethel has
voted to exempt the company from
taxation for a period of ten years.
Mr.. Fisher intends to rebuild on a
larger scale than before and will in
stall a sprinkling system.

CR0C!ATA WANTS
Ills FREEDOM
Confined Italian Priest In States
Prison VIII Petition Governor
PrOuty for a Pardon-PrOmises TO
Leave United States II Released.

Rutland, June Gov. G. H.
Prouty is soon to be petitioned for
the pardon of the Rev. francesca
Corciata, the former pastor of the
Italian parish here, who is now serv-
ing a sentence of three to five
months in the House of Correction
on the charge OF assault in connec-
tion with the murder July %, last,
of Accarito Sanford, for which Vito
Turcianna and Vincenzo Gioia are
serving terms of life imprisonment.
John D. Spellman, counsel for the
priest, who has received petitions
from New York and Brooklyn, signed
by men in all walks of life including
clergy, and also letters from Italy
asking for the pardon, will endeavor
to obtain signatures in this city be-
fore sending the documents to the
Governor who has already consented
to give hearing on the matter.
Father Crociata has written a per-
sonal letter to Governor Prouty, stat
ing that if pardoned he will imme-
diately return to his aged parents in
Italy, remaining there permanently.
The priest has been in prison since
last September and is at present
boxing marble.
The Sanford murder was a most
startling one. He was led to dark
spot, a mile north of the city, by
Anna Black, aged II, since set free
because of a weak mind, and male
companion and was set upon by Gil
Ola Turicanna and Gaspar Crocia-
ia, who were in hiding. The men
only intended to chastise him for at
tentions to Anna Black, but he put
such vigorous fight that they killed
him, according to the evidence.
Crociata was indicted two months
after the murder as an accessory af.
ter the fact, on the ground that he
knew uf the murder and failed to
disclose what he knew, but the
charge was afterwards changed to
assault.

HEATING PLANT BEGUN.
d. W. Cooley OF Waterbury Begins
Work on Court House System OF
Heating.

The preliminary work on the new
system of heating to be installed in
the county court house this summer
was begun this morning by D. w.
Cooley of Waterbury, who has
the contract for the job. The three
old furnaces are being taken down
and carted away, to make way for
the new boiler and furnace of the
new system, and it is not thought
that there will be much excavating
to be done. The three furnaces in
the Jail building will be taken out
next, but not until after the work
in the court house has been complet-
ed. 1t is expected that the work will
be completed by August 18th, as the
contract sets this date as the time
limit for the job.

1t will be noticed in the above ta-
Bile that in the counties of Caledonia,
Chittenden, orleans, Rutland, Wash

sums are of sufficient magnitude to
be of much benefit under intelligent
application, while in all of the coun-

Grand Isle, the sums cannot be 9TH

highway fund. This money, while
it will be spent under the direction
Of the state highway commissioner,
under the law, must be spent within
the county, to which 1t is accredited.
At the time this law was being

The Sum just Paid Represents But
Three Months Of the Year and the

chimes In the State.

Secretary of State Guy w. Bailey
has sent to State Treasurer E. II.
Deavitt, a check for $1572S.1S, the
beginning of a fund new in state
finances was made. This check rep
resented the amount of money col
lected by Secretary Bailey for auto
mobile registrations during the three
months ending with May 81.
1t will be remembered that the law
of 1908 regarding the registration of
automobiles and the licensing of
chauffeurs embodied the collection
Of automobile taxes through the pro-
cess of registration. This law au-
thorizes the collection on machines
that are registered for the first time
one dollar per horse power; on ma
chimes registered for the second
time, seventy-five cents per horse
power, and on machines registered
for the third time, fifty cents per
horse power. Further, under the
present law, dealers pay license
fee of twenty-five dollars and chauf-
feurs license fee of two dollars.
From these sources have come the
amount of money given above.
The new law also provides that all
money thus collected shall be used
in the respective counties of the
state from which it has come, in
highway improvements. The various
sums to which the different counties
are entitled as their share in the
amount thus far collected, are as
