COAL CONFERENCE PUT OFF
Proposal to Extend Wage Agreement
VIII Be Considered.

Philadelphia, April AT a meet
ing between committees of the coal
operators and the officials OF the
United Mine Workers OF America
representing the anthracite workers
OF Pennsylvania, to consider demands
made by the miners, the operators
refused all the demands and submit
ted instead proposition to extend
the wage agreement brought about
by the anthracite strike commission
for another term of three years.
The agreement does not provide
for recognition of the miners union
and this, it is said is the bone Of
contention. 1t is said that should the
operators refuse to make any conces-
sions and insist upon the offer to re-
new the anthracite strike commits
siQns award, the miners will appeal
to President Taft for the appointment
of commission to investigate the
conditions controlling the mining and
selling of hard coal 1t is also said
that If the conference comes to an
end without an agreement the miners
will not declare a strike but will
leave it to the operators to declare. a
lockout if they see fit.

Swept Away.

Manchester, April 8.-The tenement
house district of the southern section
of the city covering an area of nearly
a square mile and occupied mainly by
foreigners employed in the cotton
mills and shoe factories, was swept to-
day by disastrous fires. The flames
we're discovered about IL o'clock and
within two hours so buildings had
been destroyed or damaged. Help
was called from Concord, Nashua,
Lowell. Mass, Portsmouth. Dover and
Rochester, N. H., and by 1890 the
first of the out OF town assistance be-
gan to arrive. The force thereafter
was constantly augmented by incom-
ing apparatus and men and at 1870 p.
m, the firemen had the upper hand.
A fierce gale was blowing and 1t caus-
ed the flames to play strange pranks.
Some of the burning building brands
were carried over the next structure
to the one beyond and that woull be
destroyed
In this way the burned district was
not wholly devastated, many houses
being only scorched. 1t was hurried
ly estimated that from so to 70 tene-
ment blocks had been destroyed, $1,000
persons made homeless and a proper
ty loss of 100000 sustained.

DROVE INTO RIVER
Two Montpelier Men Who Had Seen
to Three Mile Bridge.

Montpelier, April r. Driving into
the swollen and turbulent Winooski
river tonight at $3.50 o'clock, Henry
Fisher and Elmer Bickford on their
way home from the three mile bridge
TO this city, had a thrilling escape
from drowning. being dragged out by
farmers with long rope after ter
rife struggle.
The Winooski and the north branch
had risen tonight five feet In "a hours
flooding the cellars of 30 or 40 stores
in this city and the Easements being
full of water
Fisher and Bickford did not real
lie their peril until they reached a
point near the Green Noun cemetery.
when they drove into the river which
was out of its banks. Thus sudden
ly plunged into the water, theS men
were borne under while the horse
succeeded in breaking it's harness and
swimming to the shore. On coming
to the surface the men chung to the
wagon and cried for help until they
were heard by Hiram Lombard, a far
mer, who resides near by. Lombard
summoned assistance by telephone,
and a rope 100 feet long was procur-
ed.
The rope was thrown out over the
water and one of the struggling men
at last succeeded in grasping 1t. Fish
er and Bickford then were drawn
ashore, badly chilled, but no serious
effects are anticipated from their ex-
perience.

PLAN FOR $4,000 BRIDGE
Public Service Commission Holds {
Hearing at Bethel.

Bethel, April Am adjourned
meeting of the public service commits
sion was held here Wednesday to con-
slider the Findley bridge question. The
full board was present with the eX-
ception of s. Hollister Jackson. The
railroad was represented by General
Manager G. C. Jones and Attorney
c. w. Writer'S of st. Adams and the
state by States Attorney E. r, Buck
of Windsor.
After hearing the parties the com
mission practically decided on plan
for an overhead bridge to be about
$50 feet long from the ledge on the
least side of the railroad, the bridge to
pass over the river on six per cent
grade. TIE estimated cost of this
improvement is about $4,000. The
work is to be finished by November
l.
The commission did not apportion
the expense among the railroad, the
state and the town. At the hearing
the town claimed that it was obliged
to maintain the repairs on the greater
part of the bridge, the commission
should take this fact into considera-
ton in making the apportionment.

vERMoNTER LOSES HIS JOB

According a dispatch printed We'd
nesday in the New York Sun, John
II. Page, formerly of this city, and

A PROGRESSIVE STEP
Letter From Supt. A. w. Varney to
the Free Press.

The Burlington Free Press OF
Thursday contained the following let
ter:
To the Editor of the Free Press
The little village of Middlebury, Vt,
recently held its annual school meet
ing. The fourth article in the warn
ing read, ITO see If the district will
authorize the prudential committee to
make contracts with the principal and
teachers for a term of more than one
year" This progressive step in con-
sentative old Vermont created con-
siderable interest and called out a
large attendance. DR.. Il. H. Martin,
a member of the prudential committee
supported the measure, ably advocat-
ing a term of five years following a
briefer probationary period, after
which time no instructor could be dis
charged without cause.
Opposition came from a most I'M
expected quarter when Prof Charles
+. Wright, for 20 years professor OF
English in Middlebury college, fav-
ored the present method saying leach
year is now probation" II a pro-
fessor in college where members
of the faculty are seldom discharged
and whose president after twenty-five
years in that position following a long
term in the department of mathemat
les was last year retired on pension
under provision of the Carnegie fund
thinks the endless yearly probation
the best plan for public school men,
what inference is to be drawn? Does
Prof. Wright think there are members
of Middlebury's faculty who might
more easily be dropped under yearly
probationary system, or does he think
that the principals and superinten-
dents in the public school system are
cast in different mold of coarser stuff T?
But give the people time and they will
lead the stuffy old college, yet it is
sad that those who ought to lead
must be pushed.
Yours Truly,

improper influences emanating from
the clerks desk, where Ray B. Smith
head of the Republican organization
in Onondaga county, presides, had
been exeTted to the defeat of the tel

about with freedom.
