Lisbon, whose arrest, the minister of
Justice explained was to protect him
from possible outrage.
Under the decree Of expulsion all
the Jesuits' property reverts to the

A GRAND OLD SOLDIER
But Not Out for War-on a Mission
Of Peace

Frank Smith, "the soldier evangel-
list" still continues to interest and
win the respect and high esteem of
the people of Bennington. Isast eve
ming at four-thirty, a meeting for
boys was held and quite a represen-
tative group turned out as did a num-
Der of the older fellows, one of the
seniors kindly consented to preside
at the piano and the meeting was
closed with a hymn. 1t was with
great pleasure that we received a
long distance telephone call this
morning saying that we could retain
Mr.. Smiths services for next Sunday,
when a boys meeting will be held at
three o'clock and a mems meeting at
four o'clock. An enthusiastic crowd
should turn out on this day to bid
Mr.. Smith a hearty goodbye. The
following is the program for the rest
of the week:
Today, 1890, shop meeting at Coo
per's mill; 4:30, Boys. Wednesday,
Boys, 430; Old Soldiers Home, 7.3O;
Thursday, shop meeting at Bottum
and Torance's collar factory, 1890;
boys, 4:30; Old Soldiers Home 1880;
and a United prayer meeting in the
First Baptist church at 1880.
At this point we would correct an
error in an earlier issue of this paper
which had this United prayer meet
! ing scheduled for another church
Remember that it will be held in the
First Baptist church on Thursday
evening at 1880. Let all come out to
hear Mr. Smith at this time Friday
shop meeting at 1890 and in the eve

NJ. C. A. building, he will deliver his

"In and Out Of Andersonvllle Prison.
This will be more interesting because
of the fact that Mr. Smith himself
was a prisoner of war there and also
in several other prisons. Saturday

BANNER YEAR FOR BASEBALL
American League Has Closed its Best
Season, Says Ban johnson.

Chicago, Oct. 11.-Reviewing the
1910 baseball season b. B. Johnson,
President of the American League,
said
In every respect the 1910 season
has been the banner year of the
American League, both financially
and in the standing of play. Strik-
ing features were the openness of the
race until the new champions forged
ahead to more commanding lead In
September.
while the final figures on atten-
dance have not as yet been compiled
the clubs of the league played to big
ger crowds this season than In any
previous race.
THE short schedule for which the
league has always stood, proved an
other success, but steps will be TAX
en- at the winter meeting of the lea
que to arrange playing schedule
that will ring down the curtain on or
about Oct 1. BY carrying the games
into the middle OF October the play
ers and the club arrangements injure
the popularity Of baseball, and 1t al
ways has been the aim of the Ameri-
can League TO father the short sea-
SON."

FEWER ARMY DEsERTIoNs
Gen. Meyer So Reports-complains
Of Absence Of officers on Detail

Washington. Oct. ia 3 per cent
decrease has occurred in assertions
from the army, and every effort has
been made to decrease the number of
summary court trials, says Brig. Gen.
Albert L. Meyer in his annual report
on the Department OF Texas. He
says the absence OF many officers es;
pecially captains who have had ex-
perience and the turning over of
commands to the younger officers of
the companies, has much to do with
the increasing lack of knowledge
and experience in handling men,"
Gen. Meyer recommends that each
post have certain amount OF trans
portation Independent of the actual
field allowance for troops and advo-
Gates legislation for a general ser
vice corps to take the place Of the
increasing details from the line OF
men as mechanics, clerks, artisans
and laborers.

TO CHANGE BANKING LAWS
Extended Power and Larger Salary
for Commissioner Recommended

for Commissioner Recommended
Montpelier, Oct. 1.-THE report of
the committee on revision of the
State banking law has been SUBMIT
ed to Governor Mead. The commits
sion is made up of Fred A. Rowland,
Olin Merrill and f. ii. Harrington.
The changes recommended are as
follows:
The commissioner is given power
to prescribe the form OF the report
and to require such information as
he deems of value in addition to that
called for by the Statute. Detailed
information is required relating to
each mortgage loan in foreclosure
and on which there is interest more
than six months overdue.
AS to the municipal bonds the field
of investment is somewhat enlarged
by the inclusion of certain munich
palties in States not heretofore sane
toned viz: California, Alabama, Tex
as, Utah, Colorado, Delaware, Geor-
gia. Kentucky, Maryland, Oklahoma,
Tennessee. Virginia and West Virgin
la, while the charter of the invest
ments is limited by excluding the
bonds of municipalities outside of
New England having small popula-
tions or exceeding a stated debt limit
The Massachusetts law permitting
'oans on railroad bonds is recon-
mended for enactment. The amount
that may be loaned on real estate To-
Gated outside of Vermont Is reduced
from GO to so per cent of such value
Loans on Personal Security to each
borrower are limited to $4,000 and
per cent of the deposits in excess
of $l,OOO,O00. The maximum loan is
fixed at $4,000. or at 10 per cent OF
the capital and surplus in cases
where such 10 per cent limit exceeds
$4,000.
The provision requiring 10 pei
cent surplus accumulation and limit
ing the rate of interest to be paid tC
depositors to q per cent semi
annually, until a per cent surplus
Is accumulated. and to 2 per cent
semLannually, until 10 per cent sui
plus Is accumulated, Is made to ap
ply TO trust companies as we'll as tC
savings banks.
The present law makes the capita
stockholders liability and surplus o.
a trust company responsible for the
faithful discharge OF a trust com
pany's acts as executor, guardian
trustee. etc The savings and Other
depositors, who can under no condi
lions have recourse TO the funds helt
In fduciary capacity are liable L
have the surplus accumulated fol
their protection absorbed to satisf,
the demands arising from the banks
failure to perform it's fduciary obllgi
lions. This liability should be re
moved and the commission have s,
provided.
The proposal OF the commissioner
does not as a whole differ RADICAL,
r from the terms OF the measure o
1908. II calls for n reserve OF 4
per cent OF commercial deposits an,
, OF per cent OF savings deposits an
requires three.flfths OF such reserv
|, to be In cash and in call deposits.
We have recommended an increas
, In the salary OF the Bank Commits
sioner from $4,000 to $4,000 an II
7 crease In the annual allowance 10
clerk hire from $500 to $1,000, an
that these payments be made by IN
! State out OF the treasury instead G
being collected, as heretofore by a
. apportloned levy on the banks OF IN
4 state.

DEATH CAUSED BY
INHALATION OF
CH[OROFORM
Viola Woodland Lyons Passed
Away Suddenly Yesterday
PROBABLY AC CIDENTAL
Had Been Using Drug to Ease Pain
for Some
Time

Viola Woodland, wife of Herbert Ly-
ons, died yesterday afternoon at her
rooms on Mill street from the effects
Of inhaling chloroform. 1t was the
opinion of the physician who was
called in the case that the woman's
death was due to the presence Of
weak heart and her lack of know
ledge Of the danger OF using chloro-
form to ease pain. She had not been
in the best of health for some time
although she had worked at her trade
OF finisher In the Holden Leonard
mill up to the latter part Of last
week. She was 29 years of age, had
always lived in Bennington and is
survived by husband and two chill
dren.

Silverton, Oregon, Tuesday, May
8, 1910, Otha. son of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Merrifield, aged 10
years, z months and 13 days, Of

Love and friendship were shown
by his many friends during his sick
ness. Otha was very patient and
tried so much to get we'll. But
Gods will be done, not ours; so

to the God who gave it.
The funeral took place yesterday
at o'clock from the Methodist
church. Interment was made in the
