Judge Martin Sentenced Sugar Men.

Four former employees Of the American
Sugar Refining Co., convicted for under
weighing frauds, were sentenced to one
years imprisonment each by Judge j. l..
Martin in the United States circuit court
at New York Monday. The men given
this term were Charles Kehoe, Edward a.
Boyle, Patrick j. Hennessy and John NJ.
Coyle. The quartet were checkers on the
docks of the sugar company in Williams
burg when Richard Parr made his fam.
Gus raid and discovered that the scales
used to weigh sugar imports had been
tempered with and by means OF con-
cealed springs and other devices made to
register less than the real weights.
The jury convicted Oliver Splitter, dock
superintendent, and the four men SEN
fenced Monday. There was disagreement
over the case of James f. Bendernagel,
cashier of the refinery.
Splitter collapsed in court on Saturday
when the motion for new trial for the
men was argued, and it was found that he
would have to undergo a slight operation
for an intestinal disorder. For this rea
son Judge Martin did not pronounce sen.
tence on him, but remanded him until
February l, when he will receive whatever
penalty the court may see fit to inf1ict.
Before sentencing the men Judge Mar
tin denied the motion for new trial.
He took into consideration, however, the
jury's recommendation to mercy and said
that he would impose upon each Of the
four men sentence of year in the Black
well island penitentiary.

Forester Pinchot Dismissed.

Clifford Pinchot, chief forester and init
mate friend of Theodore Roosevelt, was
dismissed Friday from the service Of the
United States by President Taft for in
subordination. Associate Forester Over
ton w. Price and Assistant Law Officer
Alexander c. Shaw, Pinchot's immediate
assistants in the forestry bureau, followed
their chief out of government employ.
Thoroughly indignant over the action of
to read letter from him in the senate
Thursday, President Taft would listen to
no advice that the forester's violation of
executive orders be overlooked, pending
the inquiry soon to be undertaken by con-
gress. He declared the dignity of his of
flee was being attacked and he would be
unfaithful to his trust if he submitted
longer Mr. Taft undoubtedly realizes
fully what the dismissal of Forester Pin
chot means in political way. He has
been convinced for some time that the So
called insurgents and other critics of his
administration had enlisted the services
of Mr.. Pinchot and practically were defy
ing him to separate Pinchot from his Of
declare that that situation created by Fri
days developments is the most tense of
many years. What the outcome will be no
one is willing to prophesy.
The well laid plans of five burglars to
rob the Spencer, Mass, postoffice safe was
frustrated early Monday morning by tel
ephone operator sounding the fire alarm
which so frightened the robbers that they
dropped the money and stamps which they
had taken and ran away without the
booty. The robbers beat two night police
men into insensibility and locked them up
in the police station

The Proper Food for Poultry.

With all the diversified beliefs as to the
proper diet for fowls to induce the great
est egg production, it is almost universally
conceded that some meat or animal food is
needed. For this purpose the handiest and
most satisfactory article is Pages Per
fected Poultry Food" II. H. Runnells of
South Newbury, VT, expresses the almost
universal sentiment of all who have care
fully used this food. He says: Having
sold Pages Perfected Poultry Food for
several years past, We unhesitatingly com
mend it to all keepers of poultry as the
best food on the market for laying hens
We have already placed our orler for the
coming season, and in few days will be
ready to serve our customers again. As
food for the cold season, we think it has
no equal"
If you want to know more about this
food and the best ways of using it, write
to c. S. Page, Hyde Park, Vt, for his
booklet, Profitable Poultry" 1t will be
sent free, postpaid, to anyone mentioning
this paper.

ing Walker block in Burlington, causing &
loss estimated at $4,000 Only the walls

The Hotel Burlington was four-story
lington stock company. The Walker block,
owned by Mrs. w. w. Walker of Bur
lington, was three-story brick building.
On the first floor were the offices of the
Rutland railway and several stores. The
upper stories were occupied by dodgers.
Both the buildings were fully insured.

As provided for by an act of the last
legislature, the state board of health has

wiremesh, as devised by w. Paetz, Of
Harburg, Germany are claimed to have
proven very satisfactory, and a two
family house with stable is said to have
been built at a cost of but 81, 600. The
reinforcement consists of inner and the
outer sheets of wire fabric, with hori-
zontal sheets at intervals not exceeding
the thickness of the wall If heavy loads

is placed between successive courses Of

Of neat cement mortar with such ad

used for wall-plates, floors, roof tram

fabric are nailed on each side of the

AS used for buildings the clay has little
moisture-just sufficient to permit it to
be tamped into a solid mass.
Estimates of tree-ages from the So
called annuar rings appear to be of
doubtful accuracy. H. N. Thompson,
conservator of forests for southern
Nigeria, has found reason for believing
that mahogany trees show three or four
well marked zones of growth in year
instead of only one, and he suggests
that new ring is formed each season.
The same observation has been made
both OF forest trees and on those grown
in the botanical garden. The town OF
ljaye was destroyed sixty years ago, and
on it's site has grown a forest containing
mahogany trees with trunks more than
ten feet in circumference.
The statement that gas engines are so

steam engines has aroused a discussion,
from which it appears that many insur-

as more reliable than the small steam
