to be the undercurrent of feeling /

what his attitude was on certain pub

connection with the American Sugar
Refining company in an advisory le-
gal capacity.

piled Mr.. Dix, but has IT. occurred
to you that Mr.. Stimson himself Is
not vulnerable In the same spot. He
served In the office OF Senator Root

charter was drafted"
Mr. Shepard, or those who watef
for him. did not fail to hear OF this
suggested attack and presently Their,
issued from his headquarters the fol
owing statement:
THE statement that Mr.. Shepard
drew the sugar company deed is alb

At Foresters' Hall Tomorrow Even.
ina-Smal Deficit in Treasury.

The directors of the Bennington
baseball association will hold dance
at Foresters hall tomorrow evening
for the purpose of clearing up the
small deficit yet remaining in the
treasury. The association has out
standing bills of about $50 and the
directors are in hopes that the re-

to balance the books and make their
report.
The Pittsheld association, which
operated a team just able to beat out
Bennington for first place in the four
cornered league. ran behind fully
$1,000 during the season. If the direc-
tors of the Bennington team were
able to carry on the extensive cam.
