MI MISTER NEVER
POSED AS A
BACHELOR
Brandon Pastor Formerly Lived
at Worcester
WAS QUIETLY MARRIED
Congregation of Vermont Town Exeit-
ed Over Rumors of Secret Ger
emony

Brandon, July 15.--"I have not
posed as single man" was the
declaration made last night by Rev
Charles Nutting pastor of the local
Baptist church, when informed of the
story published stating that stir
had been created at Worcester, Mass.
by the announcement that ne was
secretly married some time ago to
his housekeeper, Mrs. Callie Spinny,
while he was pastor of the Quinsiga-
mond Baptist church in that city.
Rev. Mr.. Nutting has been located
here for about two months and al
ready has a large circle of warm
friends in this place. When in
formed That the news of his marriage
had created a sensation at Worces-
ter, he at first refused 10 discuss the
matter, declaring that the story was
the work of man with whom he was
well acquainted and who was not
very bright mentally. He declared
there was no truth in the story as
published.
Later, however, the clergyman ad-
mitted that the story was in part
true. He stated, however, that he
had made no effort to keep his mar
riage a secret and that many of the
church members and others of his
friends at Worcester knew that he
nad taken a wife.
Il have been to church with my
wife there right along" said Mr.
Nutting, and she took part in the
church work as wife should" He
continued
Someone has bone to pick and
it is someone who didn't think he
knew as much as ne wanted to-
The truth is that We were mar
ried after | had been single for two
years and she had been single for
seven years. We did not attempt to
make any show of 1t. She was my
| housekeeper for about a year and six
months and we were married a year
| ago last January. II was either the
18th or 22d; | do not recall the eX-
act date"
1T was the second marriage for
both of us, you know, and that was
the reason we observed some deli
cacy about giving out the facts. Min
listers are not expected to marry
while they have pastorates, but to
wait until they are transferred and
then marry and make the announce
ment when they are again located"
NO he continued, I'VE were not
married in Worcester, but | see no
use in telling where the wedding
took place. 1t would only give the
newspapers a chance to make more
of a story. We went away on nice
little trip and were gone quite a
while"
| Rev. Mr. Nutting is about 35 years
old and mis- second wife is his junior
| by a few years, They have two
daughters. one three years old, by
Mr.. Nuttings first wife. The other
is five months old and was born at
! Worcester.

CORPORATION TAX
AMENDMENT IN
DANGER
House and Senate Leaders Con-
fer With President
EXECUTIVE DETERMlh ED
Has Apparently Not Changed His
Views as to ACCESSIBILITY Of the
Measure

Washington, July 15.-Reports that
there was dissatisfaction in the tar
if conference with the corporation
tax amendment, and that it might be
dropped out of the bill, reached the
ears of President Taft yesterday. In
consequence of those rumors Senator
Aldrch and Representative Payne the
leaders of the Senate and House in
matters connected with tariff leg.sla-
ton, were called to the White House.
The conference was held late last
evening. Waen Messrs. Aldrich and
Payne left for their homes they would
not discuss what had transpired be
yond admitting that the proposition
to tax net earnings of corporations
had been the chief subject of consider
alton.
The president undoubtedly made 1t
clear that he has not changed his
mind about the ACCESSIBILITY of taxing
the EARNINGS of corporations for the
purpose OF producing additional rev.
enues.
Attorney General Wickersham has
redrafted the corporation tax amend
ment since it was amended and adop-
ted by the Senate and 1t is ready to
be submitted. Probably it will be
called at once within the next day or
so, instead of being put over untn
amendments to schedules have been
settled.
1t has developed that there is little
likelihood of the inheritance tax fea-
ture being restored to tae bill The
Senate conferees are against it and
the House members do not object to
its elimination if the president is
agreeable.

SOCIALIST ADDRESS
Well Known Socialist Leader Delivers
from Soap Box

Immediately after the band concert
last evening, w. B. Killingbeck, the
Socialist speaker who recently made
an address on the postoffice corner.
appeared for the second time in Ben
nington, delivering a discourse on So
cialism and its aims. Mr.. Killingbeck
who uses for the most part a coldly
logical attiture toward his subject re-
peated to some extent his previous
speech. The large crowd was very
attentive and seemed to appreciate the
points made by the lecturer, which
were frequently lightened by terse ep-
dramatic phrases and expressions. A
would be rioter who cried "Sit down"
was silenced by There's a Democrat"
Mr.. Killingbeck in one place stated
that some men used their heads for
hatracks.
AS the speaker grew enthusiastic he
pointed out the necessity for the solu
ton of the problem which confronts
the nation, that many men are totally
unaware of any danger of the COM
monwealth. He demonstrated that
when evolution is unnaturally retard.
ed, revolutions results. In fervent
sentences he pleaded for the solving
OF this problem by the ballot, not tae
bullet" for bloodless revolution. Mr..
kllingbeck after multitude of illus
trations of Socialism's cures. conclud.
ed his speech iwth the wish for the
naturalization of this better
brighter dream"
Mr.. hillingbeck gave the following
as his definition of Socialism: Soc
ialism is a science pointing out the
evolution of society from the earliest
historical times and has for its object
the> abolition of the production of
goods for a profit and the ownership
of the means of life, the modern dev-
eloped and social tool by the workers,
democratically managed.
John Spargo, the noted Socialist
leader, gave the following definition:
Socialism is a movement of the
working class aiming at the abolition
of the capitalistic method of produc-
ing wealth for profit instead of for
use, and the substitution therefore of
the collective ownership and control
of the socially necessary instruments
of production and exchange"
The definition in Websters diction-
airy is as follows:
Socialism: A theory of society
which advocates more precise, or
derby and harmonious Arrangement Of
the social relations of mankind tnan
that which has hitherto prevailed.
