sioners. Clerk Pollard read the war
ming.
Mayor Dawley announced that vo-
ting would be by wards and by check
list. Tellers were appointed by the
Mayor, on motion of j. II. SeDter.
While the Mayor was making up
his list, F. A. Rowland offered a re-
solution to authorize the city council
to increase the Indebtedness of the
city not to exceed 100000, by issu-
ing bonds at such rate and in such
manner as it found best.
He further said that the views of
the school board had been set forth
and asked serious consideration of
them. He briefly sketched the situa-
ton in the schools as regards over
crowding, characterizing Montpelier
as a flourishing city and declaring
the school commissioners asked only
what they ought to have.
G.. H. Heaton asked several ques-
lions regarding the price of the site
selected. Mr.. Rowland thought that
arbitration would secure fair and
equitable results for all concerned.
Mayor Dawley then announced
these ballot clerks: Ward &c. A.
Gale and C. S. Lang; ward 2, M. e.

j. A. DeBoer moved that the
boxes be kept open till o'clock, an
hour and 10 minutes, and the motion
prevailed.
Mr.. DeBoer then said he had ad-
vocated a new High School for rs
years, since he taught in 1885 in the
Washington County Grammar school
He reviewed the growth of the
schools and emphasized the need OF
new High School building, because
of the increase in both adult and
school population. He urged the
need of modern secondary education
and the improvement of educational
methods. Montpelier is one of the
ten towns in Vermont that have made
a steady growth during the past cen
sus period, he said.
He held that the 100000 issue o.
bonds was not an unreasonable ia,
on the resources of the city and hi
advised the voters to give the prop
osition earnest support.
At the close of his remarks ballot
ing was begun.
During the voting the smoke begar
to thicken and the Mayor gave +:

NEWARK RETAIL
MERCHANTS FOR
HONEST WEIGHTS
Association Much Gratified With
Exposure of Short Meas
ures and Fixed Scales.

Expressing qualification with the ex-
posures that have already been made
regarding short weights and measures,
the Newark Retail Merchants Associa-
ton has declared for a continuation of
the war against crooked store-keepers.
A meeting of the association was held
last night and members vigorously up
held the stand taken by City Sealer
John A. Sullivan, who has said he is
thwarted in trying to prevent this rob-
berry of the public by the weights and
measures committee of Common Coun-
Gil.
President Fred W. Netschert declares
conditions are just as Mr.. Sullivan has
described them, and that the crooked
small dealer Is constantly making it
hard for the honest man in business to
succeed. He also charged that it has
been impossible to have a meeting of
the weights and measures committee
called to hear complaints of weight
frauds.
What a tremendous profit we could
make il we used measures of that
kind" he said. 1.-The aldermen cannot
tell u.s. he continued, that the city
can be efficiently covered by four in
spectors Of weights. One alderman
said at a recent meeting hat he could
supervise the whole city himself. He
didn't get votes enough last week to so
back to the Common Council, and this
association had something to do with
electing him to stay home. To this as
ISOLATION belongs the credit for the
mnss that has now been stirred up"
Secretary Edward H. Thompson re-
ported that Go~vernor-elect Wilson, as
well as successful candidates for AS
sembly, had expressed themselves ia
vorable to the idea of a State sealer Of
weights and measures with power 20
enforce laws for the protection of the
public and for the passage of a net
weight law. both of which had been
advocated by the association.

81 SUFFRACETTES
ARRESTED IN RAID
ON PARLIAMENT
Led by Mrs. Emmeline Panks
hurst, Thousand Women De-
scend on Commons.

LONDON, Nov. 1S.-The militant SUI
fragettes reopened hostllities against
the government, and, marching 1.090
strong on the Parliament buildings,
gave the police a lively fight. The
women, eighty-two of whom were
placed under arrest, were led by Mrs.
Emmeline Pankhurst.
The suffragettes had determined. if
possible, to force the police gordon
about the House of Commons, and,
reaching Premier Asquith, to insist
upon the introduction of a woman's
suffrage bill. The police, however, were
too strongly e%ntrenched, and the
women, who tried every means in their
power to force the line, We're thrown
hack.
Repeatedly they retired, GREATNESS
and ~disheveled, only to have their
places OF the fighting line taken by
reserves.
The police were ordered to make as
few arrests as possible, but by 3 o'clock
twenty-one women ;1ad two men were
in police cells. A large contingent Of

STRIKE At CANAL
MARS TAFT'S VISIT
TO THE |STHNUS
One=quarter of American En-
plOyees on Big Ditch
Quit Jobs.

COLON, Nov. ia strike, involving
on the canal. marred President Taft's
fifth visit to the isthmus. The Presi-
dent today is on his way TO Guanta-
namo, Cuba, on the cruiser Tennessee,
and will reach there tomorrow.
The strike was begun by the boiler
makers, one hundred of whom served
notice of quitting.
Machinists, engineers and men of
allied trades unions, having a memper-
ship here of 1900, held meetings and
probably will indorse the strike, the
object of which is to secure ten cents
an hour more wages and six weeks
vacation with full pay.
The Canal Commission thinks that
the strike will become generu snl
perhaps embarrassing, but will not be
q serious menace to the progress Of
work on the canal, because substitutes
can easily be rushed here from he
United States.
Strikers See President.
The officials are indignant at the at
titude Of the employees, who met
President Taft and had a general dis
cussion of their grievances, after which
the President promised to give his de-
cision as soon as he reaches Charles-
ton. The men demanded sn Immediate
decision, which Mr.. Taft refused to
make, because he had not had time
enough to consider the matter.
The wag rate Of the trades con-
cerned is sixty-fve cents an hour,
which is about 40 per cent. more pay
than the same craftsmel get in the
United States. The men here also get
free shomes and a discount on the
prices of commodities.
The Canal Commission gave out the
following statement:
Commission Statement.
During the past year a number Of
petitions asking for an increase in ray
were presented by the Amer lean canal
workers, who are paid houtlg and who
number 1900, about rs per cent uf the
entire American force. The commits
sion, after full consideration, declined
to grant the increases, not considering
any justification necessary for such
action. The standard pay on the
isthmus is sixty-hve cents an hour,
which is from ten to thirty cents
higher than in the United States. In
addition, the workers receive free
quarters, fuel. lights, medical attention
and other privileges not granted in the
United States.
1.-THE reason given by the hundred
men who ave resigned is that The
Presidents promise to send his answer
from Charleston is not satisfactory.
This action of the boilermakers will
not interfere with the canal construc-
ton work and will cause only tempo
rary Inconvenience until Their places
are filed, which will be within a short
time"

ing fleet were amused spectators of the
struggle, and, Justify cheering the com
batants. melted them to fresh efforts.
The fight continued and the police
were compelled to make Wholesale ar
rests. AT 4 o'clock eighty-two of the
suffragettes and their supporters mad
been taken into custody.
During the battle a constable was
badly gashed across the hand, appar-
emily by a knife blade. This was the
only blood-letting. Among the suf-
fragettes arrested was Annie Martin,
Of Nevada.
After a prolonged struggle the po-
lice cleared Parliament square and
three of the leaders of the demonstra-
ton headed by Mrs. Parkhurst were
allowed to enter the lobby Of the cham
Der, where they were informed by Mr..
Asquith's secretary that the premier
refused to see thin and that there was
no chance for a suffrage bill to be pre-
sented at the present session.

The presidents invitation to Canada
is included in an exchange OF notes
between Secretary of State Knox and
the Dominion government The notes
express satisfaction at the happy term
ination of the tariff negotiation and
advances the hope that the way has
been opened for an early settlement
OF all differences between IN two gov
rnments including the troublesome
question of the water boundary line.
The note then expresses the belief
that the time is ripe for a conference
looking to the betterment Of trade
relations between the two countries.
The unofficial story Of the neEou-
Iations with Canadn looking TO the set
tlement announced today, by which
Canada Is declared entitled to the
minimum rates Of the Payne Aldrich
law Is perhaps more interesting than
the specific announcement as to just
what articles are included in the con-
cesstons granted on either side.
President Taft from the first did not
hesitate to let 1t be known that he
would go a long way TO avoid tariff
war with Canada. Such war, he
believed. would fall heavily upon
Americana and manufactur
ers. II was the president who took
the initiative in inviting Finance Min
lister Fielding to Albany to discuss the
differences between the two coun-
tries. The exchange of views at ALI
banv was such as to indicate that
peace was assured.
The charge that Canada was undue
against the United
states originally grew out of the Cam
adian treaty with Frnaoc whereby the |
latter was given reduction OF from
. 1-2 to 8 per cent. President Taft |
did not take the view that this was
inasmuch MS France |
in return offered to Canada "a similar |
of rates. The United states

Canada. Mr. TAFT held. could not eN-

There stood i'm the way. however.
The fact that the reductions granted
by Canada to France were automatic

Included ia Great Britain's favored

held. did amount to discrimination
