The exact amount Of the expense was
not stated to the committee. as some
of the papers necessary had not been
brought by the representatives OF the
roads but it is understood to be around
$4,000. A further hearing is to be given
i'm the matter this afternoon when the
road will produce witnesses who viii
testify to the acts OF violence Of the
strikers that made this police protection
/ necessary The road claims that It was
not able to obtain this protection from
the state and was obliged to provide it
itself.
4 Another attempt is to be made to
wipe out the hotel license az South Yer
non, which is so much desired BY the
authorities OF the Moody school in.
Mortified, Massachusetts, 4 bill to do
this, which put a two-mile dry belt
around the state has been killed In the
House. Mr. Howard Of Whiting CAME
forward yesterday with bill to accom-.
plish the same end and a bin introduced
in the Senate win also bring it about
if it passes. The proprietor Of the South
Vernon hotel that is so much obiecteu
to, is Mr. Alderman, who represents the
town of Vernon.
The Senate is Of the opinion that It
scored a point yesterday in the trustee
+ process law fight between the two houses
by refusing to concur in the House pro-
posals of amendment to the Cushman
bill and then refusing the House bill a
third reading. This leaves the Cushman
bill the only one that can Be considered
BIZ a conference committee The vote
on the proposals of amendment shows
that there has been no change in the
/ lineup Of the Senate in the matter, the
20 supporters OF the Cushman bill stand
ing firm.
The influx Of bills has made committee
meetings so thick that they are being
held in all sorts Of corners, as there are
date them ALL Even the offices Of the
state officers are invaded, and every
place that can afford seats and little
I privacy Is being utilized The bills are,
T in some eases where committees have
lot Of work, getting scant considerations
and those who desire q hearing have to
be around, or the report is made with
out waiting for thine, The House is
just getting into the swing Of the work
and is turning it of in a large volume.

returns before it strikes the gait again.

Residents Of the Ottaqueehee river val

chise to the paper trust to drive logs
down that river went home IN high spir-
4 its yesterday morning over the poor
showing, as they looked at il, that the
company made at the hearing the previ
Gus evening. They are certainly much
exercised over the matter and that their
i lighting blood is up is shown by their
retaining such lawyers as John II. Senter
and W A. Lord to fight the bill On
Ike other hand, the company must re-
gard the franchise as valuable, for they
are sparing no efforts to get it, having
as their attorneys W. b. c. Stickney of

! Their representative, Mr.. Chedel of White
River Junction, has been here since the
4 opening of the session, quietly working
4 up sentiment ia favor of the bill The
opposition is SO strenuous that the bill
win probably stand no show Of passage
unless some of its provisions are greatly
modified.
Senator Lyford of Washington. who
has been supporting the Cushman bin in
the Senate, was not present at the roll I
call on the question Of ordering the
House trustee bill to q third reading. I
Mr. Lyford's lot has not been exactly /
a happy one since he lined mp in opposi. /
tion to the other Washington county /
senators on this question, and great /
deal of pressure has been brought 20 /
bear on him to induce him to change his /
views He has been plainly 1
told that he never could have been noml-
mated If there had been any question /
Of his attitude toward this party pledge,
and it is not surprising that he does
not relish the roll-calls that are insisted
upon every time the question comes up
i'm the Senate.
Senator Tapln of Orleans, who in
his younger days used to teach sing

ally, when they are not in session by
breaking out into song He also huns
a little in the corridors, and it is q
safe bet when sounds of music are heard
around the State House that Senator
Taplin is not far away.
