them from unjust taxation and insure

BIC MARBLE DEAL
IS IN THE AIR
Eumored That Vermont Marble
Company Has Bought Bran
don Italian Property.

Middlebury. Nov. GA rumor was
circulated about the street last night
and to-day currently reported for
fact, that on Saturday big deal had
been consummated by which the Vermont
Marble company Of Proctor had acquired
the entire property of, or controlling
interest in the Brandon Italian Marble
company of Middleburv.
1t was impossible to-day to get at the
exact facts of the matter as the local
officials Of the company utterly refuse
to either confirm or deny the truth of
the report. Wilbur w. Wood. the general
manager. was seen at the Offices of the
company by a representative Of the Free
Press this afternoon, but declined TO
give any information. Mr. Wood said
Il cannot say anything one way OF the
other about the rumor. ! am not one of
the owners of the company and have
nothing to say. The Information. If there
be any. should come from the owners"
II may be said, however, that owing
TO the non-committal stand of the officers
and to the fact that tentative ncgotla ton 3
for the puroh asc and sale of the prop

between the two corporations and the
report of the deal IL generally credited
in town. What the result of the sale will
be, If one has actually been made, and
what will be the course and policy OF
the new owners, if there are any. are
matters of vital concern to the business
interests Of M'ddlebury.
The mills here have been in operation
for ten years and generally employ from

PERFECT COURTESY SHOWN
SUFFRAGIST BY PRESIDENT
Congressman D. j. Foster Escorted Mrs. Snow
den through the White House but Audience
Was Not Sought AS Time Was Lacking.

were Justice ard Mrs. Wendell r.
Stafford and the former law partner
Of President Taft.
Congressman Foster in presenting
her to the large and distinguished
audience that had gathered to listen
to her, called attention to the fact
that she believed in woman suffrage.
He declared that so far as America
was concerned the question OF equal
suffrage was one that the women OF
the republic would determine Yov
themselves. This, he said. did not
mean that there were not many men
who were Indifferent to tho question
ana that there were not many others
who were opposed to woman suffrage
upon principle end that there wore
not still moro who werc opposed to
1t because tho great majority OF the
thinking representative women Of
, America were opposed TO l.. II did
mean. he declared. that th.re was not
a state IN tho Union. whore 1t did not
now obtain. whore It would not be
granted whenever reasonable MI
nority Of the representative women OF
the State earnestly asked for Il.
In proc. Of this assertion that It was
a wonan's question in America. Con-
sreHsnan Foster called attention to the
rapid development Of the American wo-
man. For !nanv years she has received
the Same education In the public schools
as her brothers. This led to her desire
for a higher education and mems coll
lsaes were thrown open to her and wo-
mems colleges have been built and enc
dowed FOR her. In thess colleges she IS
and song. nor even to the classics for
the same change that has revolu&ionized
the curriculum Of mems colleges has re-
volutionized tho curriculum In women's
colleges. The college girls are dsvotins
themselves 70 the Same problems that
are absorbing the attention OF their
brothers. They are delving into econ
omics. political questions. questions Of
sociology, questions Of the uplift OF hu-
ma nifty AS 4 result Of all this the Amer
lean woman now sits upon the school
boards: she is teacher. principal. super
intendent, IN our public schools: she Is
college professor ind college pres-
dent.
Nor does the American woman stop
there" Mr. Foster declared. The bust
ness and Industrial world OF America Is
opened 10 her. The old fiction that the
married woman could not make a con-
tract has been swept away. The Ameri-
can woman, married or single, has be-
come manufacturer. merchant minister,
doctor. lawyer. editor. publisher In fact
she has invaded practically every field
! Of human endeavor. And In all these
various fields the American woman is
success. In due time in her own good
way she will solve the problem of Wo-
man Suffrage"

Washington Nov. 30.--Thc statements
| in several Vermont papers last week to
the effect that Congressman Foster
escorted Mrs. Philip Snowden, the Eng
lish lecturer. to the White House to see
President Taft and that the President
refused to see them were utterly and
ridiculously false. Everyone who is &C
quanted with President Taft knows that
he would rot be guilty OF any such
discourtesy to amy worthy woman who
desired to pay her respects to him. In
point Of fact Congressman Foster on the
morning in question went TO the White
House on business matters. He found
that tho President was coseted with two
members of his cabinet and that n large
number Of officials. including senators
and representatives, justices of the
Supreme Court and our ambassador to
Germany. were waiting to sec him or
matters Of business.
Mr.. Foster decided to postpone his bust
ness until the following day. On his way
out he met Mrs. Snowdcn and Mrs. A. l..
Barber / n the latter's auto on Pennsyl-
vanie avenue. He told Mrs. Snowden that
he would be very lad to take her
| through the White House and present
her to President raft. lie explained how
|
President and that che would have to
take her turn which meant some delay
Mrs. Snowden replied that while she
would like very much to meet the Presi-
dent she did not think she could spend
the time as she had many other appoint
ments including luncheon which the
ladies of Washington were giving In her
honor.
SO NJ. Foster took her through the
White House including the Presidents
Office building. In tho latter place she
met many Of the prominent officials
who were waiting to see President
Taft. Every courtesy was extended
to hsr. President TAFT did not even
know .!at she was in the building. or
! In Washington for that matter. II
she had been able to wait until her
turn came sne would have had an OPP
portunity to shake hands with the
| President.
Mrs. Snowden is the wife of Philip
| Snowden. member Of Parliament. and
one Of the prominent leaders OF the
labor party therein. While she Is only
