SIGNS OF SPRING.
Two Men See Robin and Another Man
Kills Two Snakes.

While going along near Prospect street
this morning, Frank w. Robinson and
Bernard Carpenter were surprised Co see
robin hopping about in the snow and
making meal off some frozen apples
which were laying around. They at
tempted to catch the bird and came near
doing so, as it was very tame. The rep
utation of these gentlemen is such that
there can be no doubt of the truth of
their statement, and it is backed by
people who live in that vicinity, who
say that the robin has been there all
winter
r. G. Flanders Of Orange heard Mr..
Robinson telling Times reporter about
the robin, and said that he had one as
good Mr.. Flanders stated that his
brother, Charles Flanders of Orange,
went to his spring about two weeks

ROOT ELECTED
AS SENATOR
New York Legislature Over
whelmingly For Him
BALLOTS TAKEN TO-DAY
Root Was Opposed by chanler, Late
Candidate for Governor of New
York, But Latter Had No
Show, Whatever.

Albany, N. Y, Jan. l9.-Elihu Root
secretary of state in President Roose'
yelt's cabinet was to-day elected United
States senator to succeed Thomas Q
Platt. whose term Of Office will expire
next March. He was opposed by Lewis
Stuyvesant Chanler, the nominee Of the
Democrats, but the latter had no chance
for election, az the legislature was over
whelmingly Republican. Both branches
gave their vote for Root. The formal
joint session for the election will be
held tomorrow.
Root was nominated unanimously at
a party caucus last night.
Senator Frederick NJ Davenport OF
Oneida county in presenting Mr.. Root as
the caucus nominee Of the Republicans,
last night, glowingly praised his worth
as q lawyer, a statesman and a man.
Senator Davenport said OF Mr.. Root:
'The genius OF heredity and the genius
Of robust toll won for him the full tide
Of manhood, position Of pre-eminence
at the bar in the city Of New York. His
career in the legal profession is known
and read OF all men. The attempts OF
unworthy adversaries to asperse 1t are
as idle and insincere as they are futile.
He gave his clients sound and loyal
counsel. But the smell Of fire has never
been detected on his garments, and no
man can fairly impute TO him the mer-
cenary motive. All persons, good and
bad, natural and artificial. are by the
sixth amendment guaranteed advice Of
counsel. It is an unconstitutional and
essentially irrational spirit which would
attribute to great lawyer the sins Of
his client
'The final answer to all calumny Is
the eloquent record Of his high-minded
public service. Nothing has character
lied that career so much as its moral
insight. For nearly decade he has
been the most potent feature in the ex-
ecutive branch Of the national govern
ment His own state policies have been
the dearest possible Interpretation Of
the true spirit of democracy, which Is
the spirit not only of national but Of
international brotherhood Everywhere
in the affairs TO state, Elihu Root has
demonstrated his efficient and practical
idealism to the abundant satisfaction
OF his eountrymen. Rich is that com
monwealth which may have as its rep
Tsentative in the Senate Of the United
States one who commands the respect
and admiration not only Of the Republi.
can party, but Of all parties, not only
to teh state of New York, but Of ali
states; not only Of the nation, but Of
the world"

THREE BURGLARIEs in ONE WEEK
West Rutland Has Thief With Appe-
tite for Liquor.

Rutland, Jan. l9.--Three burglaries in
one week and all in second class liquor
stores is a new record for West Rut.
land. Two men, father and son, the
latter having confessed to being impli.
Gated in two of the burglaries, have been
arrested and will be arraigned this morn
ing.

the hole.
Last Thursday night the liquor store
Of Robert L. Mccormick, a second class
lioensee, was broken into, the thieves
gaining entrance by removing pane
of glass I4x2s inches in size from the
front door. It is not known how much
liquor was stolen. but it is thought some
whiskey WAS taken from barrel. A
woman living over the salon heard the
burglars and raised window to deter
mine the cause of then oise. She claims
that she saw three men running away.
II is thought that the burglars were
frightened by the electric car which was
run from Rutland after the fish and
game banquet held in this city on that
night. This is the second time within
six months that Mr. McCormick's saloon
has been entered in exactly the same
manner.

CAPT. cEssLER NOW.
Hare Hitting Right Fielder Chosen to
Lead Boston American Team.

HARD Hitting Right Fielder Chosen to
Lead Boston American Team.
Boston, Jan. 1o.--Harry II. Gessler,
the hard hitting right feldar Of the
Boston Americans, will be captain Of
the team for 1909. Manager Fred Lake
yesterday mailed his appointment to
him at his home in Indiana, Pa.
When Manager Lake took the man
agement of the club last season he as.
sumed that Jake Stahl was captain and
ii was some time before he was aware
that the club was without captain.
In6eed there had been no real captain
during the season. "Doc." Gessler's ap-
pointment had been settled upon by
President Taylor and Manager Lake
carly this winter, but no appointment
was made until yesterday.
Manager Lake in discussing the se-
lection Of Gessler, said that he consid-
ers him an intelligent and aggressive
player and that these traits qualified
him for the captaincy. Furthermore,
Gessler Is popular with the players.
Gessler led the Bostons at the bat last
season with an average of 1908 and
ranked fifth in the American league,
and fourth if Criss of st. Louis, who
played in only GA games, is aliminat-
ed from the ranking. 1t looks as il
Gessler was the most available appoint
mcnt and undoubtedly the fans wiz ap-
prove the selection.

SEEKS TO RECOVER
S5O,OOO In LUMBER DEAL
Stamford Man Is Suing Livingston
cushman Of Boston on The Com
plant That Contract Was
Not FULFILLED.

Brattleboro, Jan. ia creditors
bill in chancery to recover $4,000 was
brought yesterday by John Tudor of
Stamford, Vt. against Livingston cush-
man of Boston. Mr.. Tudor is wealthy
mill owner and lumberman, and Mr.,
Cushman is the owner Of large tracts
OF tinberland. The suit involves lands
in Woodford, Somerset and Stratton.
Mr.. Tudor alleges that ON Nov. 10, 1909
Fremont II. Wright OF Newton, Mass.
was the owner Of 1900 acres Of timber
land in Woodford and that Wright en-.
tered into a contract with Mr.. Trudor
for the sale OF the timber, under the
terms Of which he was TO deliver the
timber at a mill which Mr.. Tudor was
to erect on Red brook, between Will
mineton and Somerset Mr.. Tudor TO
pay $3.50 for each 1000 feet. II was
estimated that the tract contained 90
600 900 feet Of timber. Alr. Wright was
TO deliver not less than 100000 feet
and not more than 100000 feet
year.
1t is claimed by Mr. Tudor and his
counsel that Mr.. Tudor spent $4,000 in
building and furnishing his mill, that
after about 100000 feet Of timber had
been delivertd the market price went
up to from $12 to SIS thousand feet,
and that thsreupon Mr.. Wright broke
his contract and sold the property to
Livingston Cushing. Mr.. Wright then
buying the Peck timberlands in Som
crset and Stratton for $175,000. Mr..
Tudor attached the Peck property. Mr..
Wright afterwards sold the Peck prop
erty TO Mr.. Cushman. Mr.. Tudor OBJ
tanned Judgment by default and it is,
alleged that he and Mr.. Wright agreed
upon terms Of settlement, Mr.. Wright
to pay SIT 1900 II is claimed that Mr..
Gushing assumed the agreement Of set
tleiaent and made FIRST payment Of
Se.h00 to Mr.. Tudor through Mr..
Wright.
While these negotiations were pend.
ing Mr. Wright died, in the fall Of
1906, and as the damages under the
Judgment against him had not been as
sessed so that they could be collected
in court of law, and as Mr.. Gushing
refuses, it is claimed, to settle, the bill
in chancery is brought TO compel Mr..
Gushing to account.
Judge A. A. Hall of st. Albans has
granted an injunction restraining Fred
v. johnson, town clerk OF Somerset,
from receiving for record any papers
affecting the title to the property and
also restraining Mr. Gushing from max
ing any deeds or papers affecting the
title and from cutting the timber until
further order Of court. The case is set
for trial at the June term OF the Ben.

LAWMAKERS GET MERRY.
House Members Organize Into a Pleas
ure Club.

1t took the House just about two
pinutes to get into a reunion state
yesterday afternoon and hardly before
Allen NJ Fletcher, who was immediate
ly chosen chairman, had taken the chair
there were cries of Speech, Speech"
Mr.. Fletcher didn't make q speech but
he proved a most apt presiding officer
Icing good at repartee which was need
ed on that occasion to keep ahead Of a
crowd of men boiling over with good
hnmor and ready to hand out most any
thing in the speech line. Chairamn
Fletcher in good humored manner re-
fcrred to Frank Howe's stay here and
work propensities and gave Mr.. Davis
of Springfield an opportunity to speak
before the body resolved itself into
its natural state"
John l.. Bacon of Hartford was elect
ed president of the society, his name
icing placed before the House by Mr..
Raw OF Brandon r. G. Williams Off
Newport was made vice president, NJ.
q. Leary Of Burlington secretary and
w. II. Locklin Of Richford, treasurer.
Chairman Fletcher then suggested
that it was customary to elect an ex-
eSuLlfe committees SOinpuoFU vi otie
member from each county and the nom
iuations began to come in hurry. The
following were elected: f. s. Kinsley
Of Rutland. II. G. Barber OF Brattleboro
Frank f. Howe of Bennington, G. d.
Watson Of st. AIbans, A. NJ. Fletcher
of Cavendish, r. L. Fish Of Vergennes,

Allen Martin OF Essex, Il. Nj. Seayer of
Williamstownu, IL s. Dole of DanvilIe,
NJ. j. Royce Of Waterbury, and Speaker
r.. G. Cheney Of Aiorrfisviile.
The suggestion was soon made that
Mr. Bacon's name had been noticed
somewhere in connection with the state
fair and Chairman Fletcher thanked
the member in behalf Of the members
OF the House for the passes. This
created laugh and Mr., Bacon said
that while he was not an official OF
the fair he would sse that the creden
tials were Forthcoming. So it voted to
"naeet me at the fair" The best of
fellowship existed throughout and it
is predicted that this win be great re-
union society. A big reunion will be
held In this city two years from this
date.
