FOUGHT OFF
AN INTRUDER
But Burlington Women Were
Badly Used Up
HIS PURPOSE NOT KNOWN
Miss Laura Durfey, Public School Teach
eT, Gets Eye Blackened When Man
Struck Her Savagely Early
Yesterday Morning.

Burlington, Nov l4.-Miss Laura Dur
fey, teacher in the public schools, and
her sister fought off midnight mar
audcr in their home on the corner of
North Willard and Pomeroy streets early
Saturday morning and before the man
Ilfade his escape, both women were used
roughly The police have not yet cap
tured the culprit
Miss Durfey w9s awakened at what
she thinks was about one o'clock by the
sound Of some one breaking pane Of
glass in the rear OF the house. Sne
started out to investigate but got no
further than the door OF her room when
she encountered man, who grappled
with her. She was thrown violently to
tue floor and was dealt severe blow
on the eye, which blackened it. She
called for help and her sister came to
the rescue.
Under the attack of both women, the
Iuan Jared hard and snally beat a re-
treat by the same means that he entered.
Miss Durfey mas no elew as to who the
man is and his motives are a mystery.
He evidently was not in search of prop
erty for he did not spend any time in
rummaging about the side board, which
had on it an amount of silver. The
room was in darkness so that Miss Dur
fey cannot offer the police definite
description Of the man. She says that
he smelled Of liquor, although he was
not in an advanced state Of intoxieation.
The front of the house is directly under
an electric light and the entrance was
made through a window in a shed in the

BIG GAME NEXT SATURDAY.
Harvard and Yale to Play for Champion
ship.

Boston, Nov. a.. The big game Of the
football season comes next Saturday,
when Harvard will meet Yale at New
Haven. If Harvard wins, and that re-
suit appears probable, the crimson will
be the unquestioned champions of the
East, if not Of the country. An un-
expected Yale victory. such as the blue
scored over Princeton, would lead a to
mixed feelings on the question as to
which team properly belongs the myth
ical honor Of champion. A victory by
the blue probably would bring Pennsyl-
yania into consideration. Yale, in any
event, can secure no high place.
At the present stage OF the season,
Harvard easily leads the eastern col
leges. Annapolis Is accorded second
place, Princeton third. Despite Satur-
days defeat by Yale. Pennsylvania is
given fourth, West Point fifth, Cornell
sixth and Yale seventh.
It was believed that the intro.sec.
tiona games Of Saturday between Penn
sylvania and Michigan and Cornell and
Chicago would offer basis for compar-
ison between the East and West, but
this is not accurately possible. Chicago,
whicn was badly beaten by Cornell, has
been but poor performer in the West,
while Michigau's tie game with Pennsyl-
vania, and vice versa, leaves no solid
ground for comparison, Minneapolis and
Illinois are the leading western college
teams, and neither Michigan nor Chi
cago have vet met them
Saturdays games brought the most
notable injuries Of season practically
without them previously. Captain Monk
Of the West Virginia team died, and
ChatfieId of the Harvard freshmen
eleven, who was injured in the game
with Yale, is Just out of the hospital
The ranking of teams below seven is
given as follows: Dartmouth. Brown,
Lafayette, Colgate Syracuse, Bowdoin,
Amherst, Carlisle, Bates, Maine. Colby,
Wesleyan, Williams, Tufts and Vermont.

SOME HOPE FOR THE YANKEE.
Compressed Arr viii Be Tried Once
More On Sunken Cruiser.

New Bedford, Mass, Nov. a. Re-
Moved ecorts soon viii be made to place
the cruiser Yankee, again on the COM
nissioned list Of the vessels Of Uncle
Sans navy, from which she was read
out year ago, following her impale-
mclt on the hedges Of Spindle rock, part
OF Hen and Chickens reef in Buzzard's 8
bay. The cruiser now lies in water six
fathoms deep on the muddy bottom of
the inner bay, just off Penikese island,
where she sank last December, the re-
suit OF a collision a few hours after
being released from the claws of Hen
and Chickens.
Compressed air, the method by which
the Yankee originally was hoated, will
be relied upon to raise her in the com
ing attempts, It is believed she has
not been greatly damaged. Y
The presence among the wrecking yes
sells of the steamer Roosevelt, in which
Peary made his memorable last arctic
voyage, lends additional interest to this
latest effort to save the Yankee, The
doughty polar vessel was purchased
from the Peary Arctic club by John
Arhuckle, the New York sugar king and
philanthropist It was he who, foated
the cruiser with the compressed air
method, after the navy department had
abandoned its attempts at salvage, and
he is still behind the new efforts to float
the cruiser.
The Roosevelt has been laid up at a
New York shipyard since early sum
mer, undergoing an extensive overhaul
ing intended TO fit her properly for her
new work.

COL. EsTEY's SUCCESSOR.
Lieut.-col. H. Edward Dyer of Rutland
Has Many Supporters

Rutland, Nov ID. I'm all probability,
Lieut.. Col. H. Edward Dyer Of this city
will be elected to the position Of colonel
of the First regiment, Vermont National
Guard, at the meeting to be held in Brat
tleboro Saturday. Lieut. Col Dyer is
the next officer in line, and he is also
in line from point Of service, having
been actively connected with the regi-
ment over 81 years.
The vacancy was caused by the resig.
nation of Col j Gray Estey of Brattle-
boro, who has held the position for II
years The voting will be done by the
company commissioned officers, and it is
understood that majority favor the
Rutland man.
Lieut. Col Dyer enlisted in Company
A, v. n. G., in 1889 and shortly after
wards in the same year he was appointed
a musician. February 6, 1924. he was
elected to the Office of second lieutenant
and April - OF the same year he was
elected captain. He served in the eapac-
ity during the Spanish American war,
and when the regiment was reorganized
in 1899 be was elected major For Ii
years he held this Office and ON May 10
of this year be was elected lieutenant
colonel. The vacancy in this Office viii
probably be filled by the senior major,
Herbert J. Johnson of Bradford, who is
the logical candidate.
Lieut. Col Dyer graduated from the
officers school at Fort Ethan Allen, tax
ing a three years course, and is the
only man in the state to-day having

COST OF WORK s4o,ooo,ooo.
What Three Railroads Would Have to
Spend to Electrify Portions

Boston. Nov. l4.--Reports of the engi-
neers of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford, the Boston and Albany and the
Boston and Maine railroad system, who
have investigated the matter OF the cleo
trifleation of that portion of the three
roads within the so-called metropolitan
district, which have been submitted BY
the railroads to the joint board on metro
politan Improvements of the state OF
Massachusetts,, have been made public
and show that the work as outlined
would cost in the aggregate upwards of
S40,000,000 The reports on the New
Haven and Boston and Maine systems
are combined.
In both reports it is agreed that to
operate electric trains in the metropol-
itan district would result in a large deficit
in operating expenses and Vice President
A. II. Smith, speaking for the New York
Central road, of which the Boston and
Albany is a part, declares that in view
of this the railroads should be given
authority to assess all passengers and
traffic using the facilities with terminal
charge sufficient 10 bear the financial
burdens imposed, with some additional
profit to the operating company for per-
forming the service and assuming the
additional responsibilities and liabili-
ties.
The Boston and Maine and New
Haven railroads would be required to
eleetrify 46l62 miles of track, and
the Boston and Albany l2S.3s miles.
The estimates Of the cost as given in
elude the present arrangements and 9TH
er expense, as well as the actual ex-
pense Of the installation of the electric
system.

did not discriminate between them.
The men in Jersey City voted yes
terday that they would wear union but
tons to-day, and it was stated that the
companies would not hire men who wore
the buttons. So trouble was feared.
But it did not materialize this morning
when the men applied for places. There
was no union meeting here yesterday,
but buttons were dealt out to all the
men. The ehauffeurs and cab drivers
union held long secret meeting in Man
haitian, after which it was announced
