Railroad Rumors.

Although there has been no def
mite development in the railroad sit
uation at Brattleboro during the
past week, rumors are afoat to the
effect that important announcements
are forthcoming within a. short
time. What these are can only be
surmised but it is believed by many
that they relate to an agreement be-
tween the Grand Trunk and New
Haven officials on a plan that will
obViate the necessity of the latter
system spending any more money on
the proposed Hinsdale-Brattlebor
link. The local railroad committee
will make no statement in regard to
the story. that the two railroads are
about to settle their differences in
so far as they effect the Brattleboro
situation, but it IS said that this is so
nevertheless.

do hereby designate Saturday, Oct
ober 2Sth, A. ID. 1911, as Fire Pre-
vention Day and do hereby call upon
our people to devote the day to the
removal of debris from their prem
ises, to see that the heating appli-
ances in their homes are made safe,
to carefully examine the nues and
chimneys and to perform such other
work as may eliminate hazard by
fire. Boards of education should
personally examine the institutions
in their charge: City and village au-
thorities should cooperate with
them and with the public generally
in the adoption and enforcement of
such rules and regulations as will
prevent this enormous and constant
drain upon the resources of our
state. Drills in the public schools
might be established and informa-
ton be disseminated, that would,
to a considerable extent aid in the
protection of life and property. ]
invite the public press to take active
part in impressing upon the public
the importance of this movement
and In awakening with every indi-
vidual a sense of every citizens re-
sponsibility Ito his neighbor and
himself to the end, that the loss of,
life and property by fire may be re-
duced to the minimum.
Given under my hand and the
great seal of the State, this ninth
day of October, in the year of our
Lord, one thousand nine hundred
and eleven, and of the Independence
of the Tilted Statess the one hundred

FIRE PREVENTION DAY.
Gov. Mead Issues Proclamation For
Its Observance On Saturday, Oct.
%

Its Observance On Saturday, Oct.
%.
The following proclamation has
been issued by Gov. John A. Mead:
The enormous annual fire loss of
the United States is certainly ap-
palling and remedial measures are
being almost universally adopted.
The Governors of many of the
states of the middle west have issu-
ed proclamations designating Fire
Prevention Day. Investigation of
the subject shows the Importance of
concentrated and general action.
The aggregate property loss by fire
in this country during the year 1910
was 4,OO3,300, or a per capita
loss of $2.33. The last accessible
figures in six leading European
countries show a per capita loss OF
only $.33 Last year in thirteen
cities of Germany, having a COM
bined population if 5,616, S22, the
fire loss was approximately one mil
lion dollars, while five American
cities with a combined population
of one hundred thousand less, the
fire loss was about fifteen million OF
dollars. That of New York City was
three times as great as London, and
fire loss of Vermont last year was
$2.96 per capita, a total loss of over
one million. The leading Vermont
Fire Insurance Company in the year
ending August 1, 1911, paid to it's
policy holders and for expenses,
S516,446.79, every dollor of which
had to be collected from our people
in premiums and assessments. The
commonly accepted idea that insur-
anee companies stand the loss has
no foundation in fact. Premiums
are based and assessments made OF
necessity, so that the public pay the
entire loss on insured property TO
the limit of the amount written.
The balance falls on the individual
having the misfortune to suffer from
a loss. The unprecedented destruc-
ton of created values in the United
States in view of the experience else
where seems entirely unnecessary. Ii
the interest and attention of our
people can be aroused, saving OF
several hundred thousand dollars
each year may be affected in Yer
mont alone, which, If used in the
development of our natural resource
es, the construction and ma1nten-
ance of better highways or in more
liberal expenditures for the educa-
ton of the young, would result in an
incalcuable benefit to all our people
ultimately. Believing the welfare
of Vermont so demands,

MURDER AT THE FORT.
A Negro Cavalryman Shot and Killed
Three People.

1nf00 E0OplOs
Insane with the lust to kill and
armed with one of the powerful army
rifles and belt full of ammunition,
Matthew Carlyle of Troop A, 10th
cavalry, stationed at Fort Ethan AL
len, last week shot and instantly
killed Andrew C.~Fox of C&troop the
same regiment, on the reservation at
Fort Ethan Allen; killed Clara
Washington as she lay i'll in bed in
resort known as Bluefort's restaur-
ant, a quarter of mile from the
post; Ldortally wounded Beatrice
Stewart in the same place and was
not captured until a detachment of
troops had been sent after him and
he, himself, had fallen by the bullet
of Lieut.. Baine, commissioned Of
ficer, who shot him i'll the thigh from
the underbrush surrounding the res
taurant, where the murderer had
taken refuge and was making his
last stand. All of the parties con-
cerned were colored. Miss Stewart
died Wednesday.
When Carlyle emerged from be-
hind the house near the east end of
the reservation, Fox was standing
in front of the paint house, a few
took deliberate aim. No one saw
Fox at the time, but it is thought
that his back was turned as the bull
let took effect in the back of the
head, blowing off part of the skull.
Death must have been instantaneous
as he fell in his tracks and when
reached was dead.
Carlyle then went to the B1uefort
restaurant, which is frequented by
soldiers and other colored people.
The man went directly up the
stairs and into the room where the
Washington girl was lying in bed i'll
with rheumatism. He was not heard
to say word but fired three shots
at her. One blew part of her head
off, another took effect in her right
side and the third took away por-
ton of her right foot. Blodson and
the Stewart girl, hearing the shots,
started to run from the dining room
where they had taken refuge, and
the hall out of doors. Car
lyle had by this time come into the
hall and, seeing the woman in the
hall beneath, shot her through the
back. Blodson made his escape
the back door, and the
woman dragged herself through two

was drenched in blood along the
course and the woman bled profuse-
ly in the grass outside.
By the time the guard in charge
of Captain Suplee, officer of the day,
had come up and surrounded the
house, Carlyle took a position in a
northwest window upstairs and be-
gan shooting at his mates outside.
Carlyle was outwitted by an old
ruse which brought matters to
climax. A part of the troops were
taken away to a distance in south
westerly direction and his fire was
thus drawn over their way. While
his attention was thus attracted,
Lieutenant Blaine, armed with his
rife, crept up through the under
brush and shot Carlyle through the
thigh near the groin as he was ex-
posed at the window.
AS soon as Carlyle felt the lead
he gave himself up and fairly plead
ed for the men to stop shooting. The
room rapidly filed with troopers
who roughly tumbled him into a
wagon and took him with all dis
patch to the post hospital. An am
bulance took the Stewart girl to the
same place, and as Fox had already

Bold Robbery at Winooski.
With army overcoat collars turned
up about their ears, two negroes
supposed to be troopers, walked into
the store of Henry Desautel, of Win
ooski, at 9.45 o'clock Friday even
ing and while one of them pointed
two revolvers at Desautel and Joseph
Gingras, clerk, the other man
rifled the cash register and secured
500 or more loot. The highway
men then disappeared in the dark
ness, while Desautel and Gingras
stood dazed, their hands still being
held high over their heads. Another
clerk, Mr.. Patnaude, did not brave
the battery of guns, but hurried out
of the back door and across to the
store of j. B. e. Chevier. From here
the first alarm Of the robbery was
given, and few minutes later four
armed guards from the post, armed
to the teeth, were galloping toward
Winooski. From Chevier's store,
also the alarm to the Winooski po-
lice was given. Desautel's recol-
lection of the negroes is vague. The
whole police force of Winooski and
the guards from the post. is skirm-
fishing Malletts Bay avenue and the
whole Winooski fats. Friday night
was pay night in Winooski, the time
when the millworkers pay their
weekly ]. grocery bills Desautel's
cash drawer was brimimng over with
change and paper money of small
denominations, there being over
500. Here, also, was an order from
the overseer of the poor. The rob-
bers took everything, even to the
pennies.

to give the short weight. A fine
of 81 and costs of $6.14 was levied
in the case of G. H. Ellis and Adeline
Saltus, and the same fine was given
O'Brien, with costs of 1925, as wit
nesses were introduced. The court
said that all cases were evidently
technical violations and he would
therefore impose only a nominal
fine.

IoWA's TRADE MARK
Manufacturers Committee Selects De-
sign For Emblem Of Iowa Made
Coods-Chosen Trade Mark Made Up
OF Best Parts Of Several Designs
Submitted,

Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines. Nov. 16.-The trim built
head OF a hawk with cleaning eye. i'm
posed upon a wheel with spokes. and
the legend Made in Iowa" blazoned
upon a lower fange, is to be the official
and copyrighted Iowa trade mark in
use by the members Of the Iowa Man
u~tacturers' Association. This much has
been agreed upon tentatively at pres
en-, but soon to receive the sanction Of
the association and be formally
adopted.
This significant trade mark will have
the protection of the laws Of the state
and the federal copyright laws. Nc
person will d. at liberty to use the
same save those who are given author
ity from the state association. But II
will be used widely enough and is sure
to become recognized as a badge OF
merit and a guarantee Of high quality.
The suggestion in the emblem is the
wheel which typ!fies industry n the
making of things. and the Of the
hawk which is distinctively h Iowa
emblem. The trade mark was virtually
devised by the board of directors Of the
state association. as a compromise be-
tween various suggestions, taking parts
of each one and making a trade mark
which ali who were present at the
meeting here this week agree is better
than any one Of the designs offered In
competition.
The Made in Iowa trade mark will
be used on iron work, on hour.-wood-
work. machinery, foodstuffs. and every
thing that is made il the state It is
sufficiently simple SO that it can be
cast upon the iron parts and it lends
itself to handsome working out in
printing labels.
