Count Zeppelin
Vindicates Work

BERLIN, Sept. 3.-Count Zeppelin
today vindicated the work of his type
of dirigible when in the Zeppelin w.
he flew from Baden to Heidelberg,
fifty-three miles, in sixty-minutes. car
rying a crew of seven and twelve pas
sengers. The average speed of the i'm
mense balloon was forty-nine miles an
hour which is believed to have estab-
lished record for dirigibles. The
speediest of the many ships that Yep
pelin has constructed was that used
today, which was recently transferred
from Friederichshafen to Baden to
enter the service of the passenger air
ship company. In the last few days
improvements in propellers have been
tried out. The air craft is approx
mately 450 feet long. Today's flight
was watched by the entire nation from
the kaiser down, in view of the loss OF
faith in this type of airshlp that re-
suited in many accidents to Zeppelin
in the last few months.

VERMONT ELECTION TUESDAY

MONTPELIER, VT, Sept. 3.-Ver-
mont vii set the pace on Tuesday for
the fall elections by voting for gov
ernor and five other state officers, rep
resentatives in congress and members
of the legislature. The two repre-
sentatives will be the first members
to the Sixty-second congress to be
chosen anywhere in the country and
their pluralities are expected to show
in some degree which way the wind
viii blow in the big plebiscite in No
vember. Representatives Foster and
Flumly. the two representatives OF
Vermont in the lower house. are can
didates for reelection on the Repub.

AS Vermont has never wavered in
its loyalty to the Republican party,
John A. Mead of Rutland, the candi-
date for governor, is conceded, so that
the interest in the election centers in
the size of his plurality over Charles
d. Watson of st. Adams. the leader Of
the Democratic ticket. Although not
anticipating victory, the Democratic
leaders predict freely that the usual
Republican majority OF 10000 votes
will be cut at least in half. The Pro
hibitionist and Socialist parties have
named state tickets. The Prohibition
candidate for governor is Edward r.
Towle of Franklin and the Socialist
candidate is Chester E. Ordway OF
Proctorsville.

PURE FOOD LAW
informations Filed Against TWO Res
taurant Proprietors This At
ternoon in Justice Courts.

Through Assistast Prosecuting At
torney Ed. w. McManus, H. K. Wright,
state food and dairy commissioner,
late this afternoon filed informatlons
against two restauranteurs of the city
for alleged violation of the pure food
law, and in them claimed that they
had sold oleomargarine, a substitute
for butter. without having display
cards on the counter as a warming to
customers.
One information was against Will
liam lobe, who conducts a restaur-
ant on South Third street, between
Main and Johnson, and it was filed
before John Leindecker justice of the
peace magistrate. The second in
formation was filed against Wills m
Dedman, a proprietor operating on
Main street between Eighth and Ninth
streets. and in the court of James S.
Burrows, also a justice of the peace.
The alleged illegal sale is said to
have been made to M. b. Flynn, OF
Burlington, who is inspector for this
district, and who will be the prosecut
ing witness when the cases are
brought to trial.
Restaurant men were given grea'
scare a short time go when The Gate
City published the news that NJ. E
Flynn had submitted samples, which
he had secured in number of rest
aprants here, to Commissions
Wright. At the time it was rumoret
that six proprietors had been placed

concerned in the investigation. The
action was a result of a personal visi

part of December. Whether other in
formation will follow is not known.
