A GREAT POWER PROJECT.
The Biggest Hydro-Eiectric Plant
East of Niagara, on Which
100000 Has Been
Expended

The largest river of New England s
the Connecticut, and the greatest
hydro-electric water power east of
Niagara is now available through the
building of dam across the Connecti-
cut and of power-plant near Brattle-
boro, just north of the line which d.
vides Massachusetts from New Hamp-
shire and Vermont. To plan this
project and carry it forward to
completion has cost about So, 900, 900.
This means that within radius of six
ty miles many cities will have at their
doors the power to operate factories.
push trolley cars and flood streets and
buildings with light. Within that ra-
dius are such cities as Worcester with
a population of 100, 900, Springfield with
1000, Lowell with $4,000 Manchester
with 10000, Fitchburg with SO. 900,
Pittsfield with $4,000, North Adams
with 80, 900 and such towns, ranging be-
tween 5000 and 10, 900, as Keene. Brat
tleboro, Bennington, Orange, Ware.
Palmer and score of others.
This new dam (spillway) is $50 feet
long and thirty-four feet high above
average low water. From foundation
to crest the concrete stretches seventy
feet. The dam has been two years in
building, and seven hundred men have
worked twenty hours a day, in alter
nate gangs, to complete it in that time.
IL creates pond twenty-five miles
long and varying from six hundred to
four thousand feet in width. The river
is thus made ultimately to provide
manufacturers with $4,000 horse
power for the operation of their ma
chinery. The transmission line to Wor-
cester carries 10000 horsepower with
very slight loss OF energy in the sixty
siX-mile trip, and puts power at the
doors of factories all along the way. at
as low price as is coal-produced power
IN the coal centers of Pennsylvania.
Shorter lines running to Brattlebro.

No Punishment for K,,,,,,

Mr.. Rosenheiner, who, few months
ago, whep going home in his automo-
bile, ran into a buggy, overturnine it
and killing girl occupant, was sub
sequently arraigned in court. 1t was
proved that subsequent to the catas-
trophe he was followed by another
automobile and told of what he had
done, but he merely speeded up. so
succeeding for time at least in hiding
his identity. The whole city was stirred
by what was deemed a monstrous
crime, but his trial for manslaughter
resulted in his release.
Subsequently another action was
taken against him under the Callan
law, which demands that anv automo-
bilist making trouble of this sort shall
Immediately return to the scene of the
accident and give his name and the
number of his machine, as we'll as doing
what he can to help the injured. But
again Mr.. Rosenheimer has escaped.
as the judge held the law to be uncon-
sututional, in that a man cannot be
compelled to testify against himself.
This law that man cannot be COM
PEELED to incriminate himself was made
to protect people from being forced TO
testify against themselves in court or
before the officials of the law, and is
frequently openly violated, to the great
prejudice of justice by the police put
ting people through what is termed the
third degree" 1t seems quite an
other thing to demand that one person
injuring another by accident should
give the injured party his name, az,
this does not incriminate him. 1t then
remains to be proven whether the acci-
dent was justifabe or due to careless
ness or violation of law. The correct
ness of Judge Cairns decision should
certainly be tested; if necessary, by an
appeal to the Supreme Court. New

TRAGEDY AVERTED.
Big Auto Truck Crashes Thrcueh
Lowered Railroad Gates at
Cynbrook-Just Misses
Train

Lynbrook, L. l., Jan. 26.-Crashing
through lowered gates of the Atlantic
avenue crossing of the Montauk Divis-
ion of the Long Island Railroad late
yesterday afternoon, large automobile
truck crossed the track in front of a
westbound freight train, narrowly es-
Gaping collision with the engine of the
train.
The gateman had lowered the gates
before the automobile was close to the
tracks, but for some reason the driver
apparently did not become aware that
they were down until he had crashed
through the north gate and was on the
track directly in front of the locomotive.
Then he yelled and, opening the throttle
of his machine, succeeded in forcing it
across the track, thus averting col
lision.
In the excitement that followed no one
thought to take down the number of the
machine or the name of the owner, and
the driver, putting on top speed, dashed
off without anyone learning who he
was. Brooklyn Eagle.

of the Appalachian bill, and urged every
member of the Chamber of Commerce
TO- do what he could in behalf of the
measure. Mr.. Guild said, in part:
1.-THE Appalachian forestry bill comes
up for vote in the Senate on Feb. Is.
1t passed the House under the skillful
leadership of Congressman Weeks of
Massachusetts at the last session. The
great influences and interests who are
opposing the whole conservation pro-
gram are fighting us as usual below the
surface. They will endeavor to get the
bill amended, probably by an amend
ment favorable in appearance, but any
amendment favorable or not, to throw
the bill back into committee of con-
ference between the Senate and the
House where it can be stihed in the few
brief days before Congress adjourned.
This has been our experience every
year.
at is the business of every man tc
see to it that any influence that can be
brought to bear in the Senate is exer.
cised to prevent any amendment of any
kind and to see to it that the bill passes
unamended on Feb. Is.
This bill provides for national for.
est reserves at the headwaters of the
great rivers of the Appalachian coast.
1t provides for the acquisition of such
reserves, not merely in New England
but in the southern states. The states
to be benefited directly are the old 1;
which founded this nation.
1.-The West already has these forest
reserves, maintained through the bu
reau of forestry of the United State,
government. We only ask for the Eas
and South what has already been giver
