ONE FOUGHT DESPERATELY
To Escape from the Police Net Which
Swept New York.

New York. March l5.--Lieutenant An
tonic vachris, chief assistant to Detec-
tive Joseph Petrosino, who was killed
by assassins in Sicily, arrested four
Italians in little wine shop in one of
the squalid Italian quarters of Brooklyn
last night. Vachris, who was assisted
by half dozen men from the Italian
criminal squad, took the men into Gus
todv only after one Of their number had
fought desperately to escape.
The men arrested are Amadio Pietro,
Vito Andraguo, Vito Velo and Stefano
Castronouve. The charge against them
on the police blotter is that they are
undesirable residents and suspicious char
acters, but it was intimated that Vachris
has reason to believe that the men had
knowledge of the plot to kill Petrosino.
Castronouve, the man who made des-
operate attempt to escape, is said to
have recently come from Chicago, where
he is alleged to have been leader of the
Black Hand groups. Revolvers and still
ettoes were found on the prisoners.
Seven other arrests Of Italian susu
poets were made in the city during the
day.

The voters Of the town of Barnard
have taken the salary grab Of the last
Vermont legislature into their own hands
and at the recent town meeting passed
the following resolve:
eve therefore pledge ourselves here
after to vote for no person for represen-
tative of any political party, who shall
not first publicly pledge himself to use
all honest means to repeal the salary
grab act"
We arc in doubt if this means to take
from the last legislators the added wages
or to restore the salary to the former
basis, regardless of the extra pay which
the 10000 legislators received. It would
be difficult proposition to restore to
the state treasury the money which has
been paid out to the representatives and
senator's.

Upon request of the youths parents

Numerous persons have signifed their
intention Of "trying for license" and
considerable interest has been mani
tested in the matter of who shall con-
sittute the board of commissioners.
Some OF the leading advocates in their
opinion that no first class license be
issued, only those Of the second and
other classes and opposition to this
has developed it being claimed that

to meet all reasonable demands and be

the thirsty portion of the public.

is determined that public roads were not
built for purposes OF racing and were
not designed for monopoly on the part
of any particular class of psers THE
automobilists themselves are fighting the
contention that the roads were built for
horse vehicles alonel and automobile
races do monopolize the roads. Candid
automobiles will agree that it is ex-
tremely unsafe to conduct motor-car
race over public thoroughfares, particn.
larly over narrow thoroughfares. Such a
race, as for instance, the New York to
Boston race Of last week, ought never
to be tolerated.

Judge Henry G. Bates of st. Johnsbury,
who died in Berkeley, Cal, last Friday,
never was promoted from the Vermont
lieutenant governorship to the guberna
torial chair; but that did not prevent him
from being appointed to responsible
position as Judge Of the court of the
first instance in the Philippine Islands
That he filed this trying position in a
land unaccustomed to the machinery Of
judicial settlement Of affairs is testified
to by those acquainted with his work,
and he is said to have won the esteem
Of the natives Of the island Of Panay,
where he had jurisdiction.

1t is very reasonable action which
the Massachusetts, highway board has
taken under the law in declaring that
licenses for running automobiles will be
revoked in case Of reckless running Of
machines or fragrant disregard of the reg
ulations of the state law or local restric-
tions. And ii is, moreover, not an un-
just imposition on the great mass Of
users of the machines. Persons who ha-
bitually violate common decency and
defy the laws which were designed to
protect the lives of the other users Of
the thoroughfares--they are not fit per.
sons to be allowed to run automobiles
in Massachusetts,, Vermont, or any other
state; and it is to be hoped that the
state highway board in Massachusetts,
acting under its right, will take sum
mary action in case of proven violation
Of the laws and regulations. In the
same connection, we should incline to-
believe that the practice of running auto
mobile races on the public roads ought
to be prohibited because Of the danger
which it unnecessarily imposes on the
public. The racers are 30 given up to the
desire to attain speed that they throw
caution aside and rush pell.msll through
thickly settled communities, as well as
the country districts. Other users sf
the reass are therefore forced to take
their ehsasss, and the chances are gen.
orally somewhat slim. When the ques-
ton eones down to the final analysis. it

THE PECK WILL CASE.
Testimony Of One of the Appellants
Heard Saturday.


Burlington. March l5.-The Peck waiv-
.er case was resumed on Saturday morn
ing In Chittenden county court and adj
iournment was taken at noon until this
afternoon. The testimony Of William
Odlin of Andoyer, Mass, one Of the ap-
pellants from the allowing OF the waiver,
was taken during the entire morning.
During his cross-examination he stated
that he never had conversation with the
late Z. w. Peck on the question Of the
latter's fling a waiver, and that he did
not have that fact under consideration
during conversation with him in 1904.
He said that he never had any communi-
cation with the executors Of Mrs. Pecks
will on the, subject of the waiver and
that his irst knowledge of the subject
was received in letter from the late
w. u. Bnrnap. He had legal knowledge,
though. that Mr. Peck should have been
elected to choose in favor Of the waiver.
In direct examination he said that he
came to Burlington in 1904 and had a
talk with Mr.. Peck in regard to confirm.
ing the annuities for the support of the
Clark family and charities as provided
by Mrs. Peck during her life time. At
this time he said that Mr. Peck refused
to tell him the amount Of the estate and
that he did not learn the amount Of
the estate until Mr.. Peck's death He
said that Mr.. Peck urged him to be. ap-
pointed guardian over Jed p. Clark and
Joseph w. Clark of Milton.

One Barre Dealer Has Something to Say.
Calls II Injustice

Editor, Times: | see by the Barre
Times OF March l3 that farmer, In
order 10 be able to dispose OF his milk
product, must have all his herd tested
for tuberculosis by veterinary and
pronounced o. X. That sounds good, but
to the farmer that means something
more. First, II is an acknowledge fact
by all competent yeterinaries that the
tuberculin test is not reliable. II Is
also an understood fact that thousands
OF COWS are slaughtered under this test
and examination has found them 90 be
undiseased, Now, then, will the state
of Vermont or city OF Barre pay the
farmer full value for these cattle so
slaughteredl mol although they are his
pride, they are slaughtered and found TO
be unaffected; farmer has no recourse
but 10 take what Is handed by the state.
To farmer who knows that good COWS
are scarce like good men, II looks like
big injustice, as IL surely Is.
l for one welcome an inspection for
my stable, milk and cattle: but II there
is no trouble found in either of these
places, do not believe the right exists
TO test our cattle by injecting something
into their systems which is an injury
from which they never fully recover.
Our herd Of thirty.eight cattle are all
in healthy condition. There never was
case of tuberculosis ON this farm, TO
my knowledge; neither is there one to-
day. The have been from four to
eight COWS old in the local market for
beef every year, and these were always
satisfactory and never disease deyel-
oped.
Now, be this as IL may, II this j.
carried into effect there must someone
reimburse the farmer for The loss be
suffers, and il IS inevitable that Il must
come out Of the consumer. In this, like
all Others, the more legislation, the
greater the cost OF living. Ii the city
OF Barre demands certified milk, then
let the dealers demand what that product
is worth.

CURRENT COMMENT


The Bennington Banner, which claims
to be no apologist for the late legis-
lature, deyOtes two columns or more
to an attempt to prove that which every
fair minded observer win admit. viz,
that the lawmakers did a number of
ereditable things as well as innumer-
able discreditable ones. At the outset
the Banner cracks the Rutland Herald
because the latter sheets quotes legis-
lator as saying that the session was
worse than reported without giving the
vilifer's name. The Banner editor is
right in calling attention to the good
things the legislature did, but be Is
wrong and very foolish to roar every
time that body is put upon the anvil
The assemblage OF which the Banner
editor was part will be remembered
for years-or ought to be, at least--as
disgraceful episode in the history
Of the state. The salary grab and the
crooked work connected with the cleo
ton of superior Judge are alone
enough to warrant the title. Those who
attempt to efface the memory Of these
things are doing so in the hope that
when it comes time to name another
the people will have forgotten the
shameful record Of 1908 and will be will
ling as heretofore to let the same band
OF politicians manipulate public affairs
to their personal liking. The Reformer
Of the state in 1910 will still have a.
very clear memory OF what happened
