Can't Tell Whether Boston Was

MIMIC WAR GAME ENDED
Defenders of City Claim They Had

Hostiities Ceased

Boston, Aug. 20.-rhe war game
which has been conducted in south
eastern Massachusetts during the past
week is ended, but whether Bos-
ton, which was the objective point of
the invading army under Brigadier
General Tasker II. Bliss, was really
captured theoretically or whether the
Massachusetts troops commanded by
General William A. Pew succeeded in
repulsing the attack will not be
known possibly until some time next
winter. when the decision of the UNI.
pire is announced
General Bliss expressed confidence
at night that he had won the victory
On the other hand General Pew and
his lieutenants declared that the adj
vantage of position at the close OF
hostilities lay with the Blues.
Yesterdays fighting was the hard

fact it was the only real battle OF the
campaign.

and Glenn H Curtiss flying machines
alleged to infringe the Wrignts pat
ents and secured Curtiss to give pub.
lie exhibitions for which an admission
fee was charged.
The Wrights demand that the in
fringing machine be turned over TO
them for destruction and in addition
ask the court assess damages for
three fold the amount of whatever
losses by reason of the infringement
and the public exhibition or rental OF
of the infringing machine. A hear,
ing in the suit will probably be held
early in October.
Aeronautic experts here generally
view the suit as in the nature OF a
test case brought to determine legally
whether the ~Wrights patents cover
effectually all aeroplanes constructed
along similar lines to theirs. TAe
Herring Curtiss machine is at present
the only American rival of importance
in the commercial field but practically
all the experimental heavier than air
machines which nave met with any
degree of success in this country have
been constructed along lines which
apparently the Wrights regard as pre-
empted by their patents.

are told by the present sheriff that he

and as many as ten or twelve for a
month at a time. This jail is unsan-
itary in every essential. Human be-
| ings should never be confined in dark
unventilatcd quarters for any length
of time. There should be provision
made for lighting this room, for In
Producing fresh air, and removing
foul, for separating the sexes, and the
necessary attendants for each sex,
and there should be entirely new
plumbing and plumbing fixtures.

approached by a winding staircase.
The front part of the second floor con-
tains three rooms, each equipped with
beds, occupied we are told by the
sheriff and other officials. When the
court is in session we understand
these rooms are used for other pur-
poses by attorneys and others. TIE
courtroom is fairly well lighted but
has no provision for ventilation ex-
cept that provided by windows.
In view of the foregoing, we would
respectfully make the following rec
concentrations.
1st. The necessity for increasing
the size of the building to meet the
obvious requirements, make a change
of site apparently necessary. We
therefore recommend that such a
Change be made where ample room
may be secured for light and air.
End. The main outside doors of the
building should be changed to swing
outward, and the main stairway
should be changed to conform to the
regulations promulgated by this
board
3rd. A new system of heating and
ventilation should be installed, suf-
ficient to heat and ventilate all the
rooms in the building, including the
Jail. If steam is utilized for this pur-
pose it should be by the indirect
method, and an exhaust-fan should be
installed for the purpose of removing
the foul air.
4th. All the plumbing In the build
ing should be thoroughly overnauled,
and new put in where necessary, and
also new fixtures.
5th. A larger Jail and more cell
room are imperative. to meet the
needs of your county. The confne-
ment of ten or twelve prisoners for

ent Jail room, with the necessary

a crime from a sanitary standpoint.

BASE BALL GAMES
Two Sharp Contests Ahead of the
Bennington Aggregation

1t will not be possible to witness
many more baseball games in Ben
nington this season. A number of the
players will return to college early
in September and Manager Higgins
will make no effort to continue the
sport after the present team can no
longer be kept together.
Saturdays game will be with the
Mechanicville nine which comes to
Bennington with a good reputation. II
has defeated many of the teams in its
section and the game should be a
good one Haynes and burlington
will constitute the battery and the
nine will be otherwise the same as
in recent games with the exception of
center field where an unusually fast
player has been secured to take the
place of Brennan. Brennan has hith-
erto always played at first base and
feels out of place in the field. Lately,
too, he has been bothered with rheu-
matism and realizes that he is not
now putting up so good game as ne
has formerly played.
The Tudor park game will be with
North Adams and the Huckleberry
boys are planning to wipe out the i'm
preston preailing in the print works
town that the Tunnel Diggers are the
better team. Corey will pitch and he
will be supported by fast catcher
secured especially for the game. With
strong hitter in center field and a
good man behind the bat it is difficult
to see how the local team can be bet
tered. 1t should prove winner.

Sometime ago the local Board OF
Health made application to the State
Board of Health to have the court
house and jail here inspected, with a
view to determine its sanitary condit-
ion.
The State Board recently made a
thorough examination of the build
ings, and its report, hereto attached,
conclusiyely shows, that as the build
ings are now located and arranged
sanitary conditions are practically I'M
attainable.
The report speaks for itself.
To the Local Board Of Health, Ben
nington. Vt.
Mr.. III. l.. Stillson, Health officer.
Gentlemen: An inspection of the
Bennington County court house and
jail, made at your request, August 5th,
1909, SHOWS the following conditions:
The county building is located on
South street between two other
buildings, the walls of which on either
side are only eight feet from the
court house walls at the farthest, and
in front, the walls of the buildings are
separated only four feet
On the first floor of tne county
building are located the Offices
vaults and toilet rooms of the county
officers; in the rear of which are the
| Jail. and the necessary domestic
rooms for the jailer and his assis
tants. 1t may be stated here that nc
part of the lower floor of this build
ing receives sunlight excepting from
| rne front. The offices have a close
and rather musty odor, undoubtedly
largely due to lack of sunshine and
fresh air. They are crowded with
records and necessary furnishings
and are apparently too small for the
uses to which they are put. Back OF
the offices are two toilet rooms; one
of these is equipped with a tin or gal
vanized iron urinal, supplied with a
faucet of running water. This is un
sanitary. This toilet room has dark
water-closet. On the opposite side OF
the hall is another dark water-closet
Both these closets are of the open
washout style. They are lacking
seat-vents, and the traps underneath
are not vented When frequently
used these closets are sure to become
foul and the odors tnerefrom must
reach other parts of the building. II
may be stated here that the main
soil-pipe in the cellar also lacks a
running trap, and that the plumbing
in the building as whole is old and
unsafe.
The JAIL located in the rear of tne
building on this floor, is a room about
| 30 80 16 feet. 1t is supplied vita
very dim light by windows located
high up in the walls. each about 21a y
~ feet in size. There is no provis
ion for introducing fresh air or re
moving foul. The room is heated by
| steam-pipes. In the middle OF tnis
room is a block of cells two tiers high
masonry below and steel above. This
block contains seven cells, four OF
which are below, and three in the sec
ond tier. Each one of the cells meas
ures Z Ks 61a feet There Is nc
ventilation of these cells. Each eel
has 1lammock-cots, one or two; where
two are necessary. one is placed
above the other In the rear OF this
block of cells and separated by par
